184. A Space Rift appears in Hell Slaughter Ground, live broadcast from Soul City! [First Update]_1

Lin Yi expressed his confusion.

"System, you freaking made a statistical error and now I have to wipe your ass?"

"I'm just responsible for distributing rewards, not for providing them."

You were the one who promised me a badass Divine Body, but I didn't get it, and got sealed by a Shield instead?!

I didn't even make a big deal about that, and now there's a new freakin' problem?

Do I have to personally hunt down the rewards now?

[Indeed, due to a System error, to compensate the host, the reward has been increased from a 3x crit boost to a 50x crit boost!]

[Host Reward: Fiery Sun Snake's Inner Pill*50]

[Please proceed to Slaughter City to hunt for a sample, to allow the System to perform a one-to-one clone replication. Hunting for the sample mission's time limit has been extended by one hour.]

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's expression finally eased a bit.

It's fine as long as the System realizes its mistake and compensates. I'm not working for free here.

But Lin Yi couldn't just casually leave this place and go to Slaughter City to claim his reward.

In everyone's eyes, he was akin to a god, and it wouldn't do for a god to not have a reward ready and need to hunt for it at the last minute.

So, he needed to come up with a proper reason or describe his quest for the reward smoothly and logically enough to maintain his image.

Lin Yi shifted his thoughts away from the panel and calmly looked at Dai Ben, speaking unhurriedly,

"Damage 168976, Black Advanced Level, your reward is one Fiery Sun Snake's Inner Pill."

Upon hearing this, Dai Ben's expression changed. So the damage was only a few hundred higher than last time, dangerously close to being a downgrade.

"May I ask, senior, what is a Fiery Sun Snake? And what is an Inner Pill?"

Dai Ben was hearing about the "Inner Pill" for the first time. He didn't recall soul beasts having such a thing.

Lin Yi looked at him placidly, "The Fiery Sun Snake is not a soul beast. It belongs to the Primordial Species and is not native to Soul Land."

"As a Primordial Species, the effect of a Fiery Sun Snake's Inner Pill is very powerful for a Douluo Soul Master."

"First, it grants immunity to all snake venom and counters all serpent-type soul beasts."

"Second, it can be used as a medicinal primer to revive someone whose physical body has died."

"Third, it can serve as a Soul Ring, merging with it can even evolve a Martial Soul by up to 500 evolution points, equivalent to an Evolution Spirit Stone."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

This is a creature from outside the Douluo plane?!

Just an organ within its body can bring so many enhancements to a Soul Master!

So terrifying!

Dai Ben sure struck it lucky this time!

Hearing about these benefits, Dai Ben indeed could barely stand still from excitement, and this was only a reward for Black Advanced Level!

Lin Yi didn't expect this to be just a Black Advanced Level reward.

It was probably because the System didn't realize the Fiery Sun Snake belonged to the Primordial Species, which is why even the reward settings got messed up.

This reward should've been at least Red Intermediate Level.

"Don't celebrate too early. To gain the latter two benefits of the Inner Pill, there's a major prerequisite you must meet. Otherwise, the Inner Pill will only grant you immunity to snake venom and counter serpent-type Martial Souls."

Lin Yi said, his lips curling into a playful smile.

Lin Huyou was about to come online.

Dai Ben nearly choked to death on his own spit and stepped forward to ask urgently, "What... What is the prerequisite? Please, senior, speak clearly!"

The fat meat that was so close to his mouth couldn't just fly away! Otherwise, Dai Ben would be heartbroken.

"Just like hunting for a Soul Ring, the last blow before the death of the Fiery Sun Snake has to be dealt by you."

"Although I have many Inner Pills, their three benefits can only be realized on me. Even if I give them to you, you won't be able to possess the last two benefits, because you didn't make the kill."

Lin Yi continued to speak slowly, a faint smile on his lips, the forthcoming plot all within his control.

Upon hearing this, Dai Ben indeed became anxious. The fat meat was about to fly away!

Damn, why is there such a setting like hunting for Soul Rings!

But it did sound very reasonable. After all, such things should have some kind of bond or master-recognition property.

"But senior, where do I go to find a Ten-headed Solar Serpent? Do I have to leave Soul Land?"

Dai Ben anxiously asked.

"No need, there is a place in Soul Land where a Ten-headed Solar Serpent exists."

As Lin Yi said this, he feigned thought for a moment before slowly standing up and continued,

"Very well, since the Fiery Sun Snake's Inner Pill has appeared, we must fully realize its effect as a reward. To me, this seems fair."

Dai Ben was slightly startled, a glimmer of hope suddenly flaring up in his heart.

"Senior means?"

"I will take you to the scene to hunt one now, and the final blow will be yours. The process might be troublesome, but this, in my view, constitutes an equitable trade."

Upon hearing this, Dai Ben was so excited that he was dumbstruck and promptly knelt on one knee.

"I'm truly grateful, Senior! I don't have the merits to deserve Senior lifting a finger for me! Ben hereby expresses his deepest thanks to Senior!"

The onlookers didn't find Dai Ben's action to be exaggerated.

After all, the preciousness of this reward was so high, and in the people's memory, this was the first time Lin Yi condescended to leave this place.

This indicated that Senior truly cared about fairness.

Once Lin Yi stood up, he walked forward slowly, his aura profound and restrained, inscrutable.

He looked down calmly at Dai Ben, who knelt before him, and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Senior... I wish to offer this reward to my son, Wes, as I already have the complete Soul Rings. The inner pill recognizing me as its master would indeed waste its third effect."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi glanced at Davis and nodded calmly, "That's fine, the right to control the reward is yours."

Dai Ben was overjoyed and quickly stood up waving his hand: "What are you waiting for? Come up here now!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Davis got onto the stage, Dai Ben ordered him to kowtow thrice to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi remained expressionless throughout, and after Davis finished kowtowing, Lin Yi waved his right hand in the air, and a torrent of silver brilliance swept over the platform like a tide.

Space, akin to a sheet of paper, was torn open by Lin Yi, revealing a vast gap, within which was a bustling and chaotic scene.

This gap was another space portal, similar to the one Lin Yi had previously torn between Tiandou City and Soul City.

At this moment, seeing the scene on the other side of the portal, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

My goodness, where is this?

The space opposite was very spacious and seemed to be surrounded by incredibly large stands for spectators; below the stands was an area resembling a combat arena.

The next moment, people on the Soul City side suddenly frowned and covered their noses.

Because a foul, pungent smell was emanating from the other side of the portal.

The smell of blood, discarded food remnants, biological excrement, and various indescribable, strange odors.

But more shocking was the overwhelming aura of slaughter coming from the other space...

Bi Bidong's pupils contracted, this is... Slaughter City!

The place now before their eyes was none other than the Hell Slaughter Ground of Slaughter City!

And as the space portal appeared, the noise on the side of Slaughter City suddenly ceased, and the immense space instantly fell silent.

Inside the Hell Slaughter Ground, myriad fierce and malevolent faces turned toward the portal.

They looked at the enormous gap with some surprise, not understanding what had happened.

But it was clear that the other side was a different space.

At this point, Lin Yi curved the corners of his mouth and said calmly,

"Follow me."

By now, Davis felt somewhat weak in the knees, the towering killing intent from Slaughter City chilling him to the bone, and the foul stench made him, who had always lived in comfort, feel extremely ill.

However, at this time, Lin Yi had already stepped into the space portal, and Davis could only grit his teeth and endure his discomfort, quickly following Lin Yi.

Meanwhile, the gazes of several hundred people in the Hell Slaughter Ground converged on the two people who had suddenly appeared.

Whether it was the ten combatants on the Slaughter Ground about to compete, or all the spectators in the stands, they, without exception, tightly gripped their weapons, their expressions filled with vigilance.

They did not understand why someone would barge into the Hell Slaughter Ground in such a shocking manner.

Once inside, Lin Yi waved his right hand again, and the edges of the portal behind him rapidly shone with surging silver brilliance, the size of the gap in space expanding in an instant, resembling a giant screen set upon the spectator stands.

Indeed, Lin Yi was preparing to broadcast live to the people of Soul City everything that was about to unfold.
