Gu Yuena was probably still rebellious at heart despite her verbal concession, thinking that a spanking from Lin Yi was enough to erase the previous offense.
Longlong's thoughts are becoming increasingly innocent~
But Lin Yi wouldn't take it to heart either.
After becoming a true powerhouse, looking back at those who once seemed formidable but now stand beneath him on the ladder of power...
Once their air of importance disappears, each one of them actually becomes quite amusing.
Take Thousand Waves or Gu Yuena, for example.
The more Lin Yi observed them, the more hilarious he found them. This was probably the feeling one gets when observing from a position of far greater power.
Speaking of which, just like how a god views his subjects... Eh? This reminded Lin Yi of that higher level, more expansive realm he had created, even superior to Soul Land.
It had barely crossed his mind, but a whole day had passed on Douluo; which meant, in that realm, 240 years should have gone by.
After more than two centuries, the Pirate Empress probably has long forgotten about her Ancestral Patriarch. But surely the Pirate Empress wouldn't die; in that realm, she is an Immortal, and Immortals can live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Wang Qiu'er has now made her way to the stage.
Her light blue wavy hair gently swayed behind her head. The girl was exceedingly beautiful, but her cheeks were a bit flushed at this moment.
After all, any woman standing before Lin Yi can hardly help but feel a stir in her heart, whether out of romantic affection or pure admiration for strength.
In their eyes, Lin Yi was the most perfect, most powerful man on Soul Land; his stature was akin to the gods, he controlled everything, dictated life and death, and was omnipotent.
Although Wang Qiu'er hadn't been here for long, she had already come to admire Lin Yi profoundly.
Even just by looking at someone for a prolonged period, feelings can start to shift, let alone when that someone is Lin Yi, a man whose mere proximity seems to infinitely extend one's lifespan.
Just in the brief time it took her to walk from the foot of the stage to the top, Wang Qiu'er noticed a significant lengthening of her lifeline that happened so rapidly it startled her.
This was the reward she had received last time, "Real-Time Remaining Life."
After returning to the forest last night, Wang Qiu'er specifically tested the authenticity of this reward.
Bringing a dagger to her neck, the remaining life would instantly show a decreasing trend; it was the same when approaching dangerous soul beasts, being near the river, or entering areas with poisonous plants—her remaining life would drop sharply.
This proved that the reward was indeed real.
It also proved that being close to Lin Yi was Wang Qiu'er's key to longevity.
So, how could she not care about this man?
"Wang Qiu'er?"
Seeing Wang Qiu'er lost in thought, Lin Yi called out to alert her.
He noticed that the broken heart initially hovering above Wang Qiu'er's head was now gone, leaving empty space above her.
Lin Yi chuckled to himself, it seemed Wang Qiu'er had completely lost interest in Huo Yuhao.
Regardless, Wang Qiu'er didn't need to sacrifice anymore; she had completely taken control of her remaining life at this moment.
"Here!"
"Stop daydreaming and attack."
"Yes!"
Wang Qiu'er promptly responded.
She didn't know why, but the more she thought of Lin Yi's merits in her heart, the more her remaining life increased.
And yet she had not even moved closer to him.
What Wang Qiu'er didn't realize was that the more she thought of Lin Yi's virtues, the quicker the love arrows for Huo Yuhao above her head shattered.
Losing her love for Huo Yuhao and escaping sacrifice naturally raised her life expectancy.
This also precisely validated a saying.
The best way to forget someone is to start caring about another person.
Wang Qiu'er unleashed her Martial Soul, a resonant dragon's roar hovered around her, her dress billowed, and her powder-blue wavy hair instantly turned into shining gold.
The Auspicious Beast's Golden Dragon Martial Soul, with the bloodline of a true dragon, the origin of strength, made its might apparent immediately upon release.
A golden dragon's ethereal silhouette coiled around Wang Qiu'er's body.
Several shining gold scales adhered to the corners of her eyes, looking like expertly applied eye makeup, glittering and exceptionally beautiful.
Then the seventh black Soul Ring rose.
"Martial Soul True Body!"
An even more resonant dragon's roar filled the air, and the hovering Golden Dragon became more substantial. The Golden Dragon swelled in size, standing behind Wang Qiu'er, and the svelte girl suddenly gained a majestic aura.
It was hard to believe that a seven-ring Soul Sage could radiate an aura no less powerful than that of a Titled Douluo.
This was probably the advantage of having the True Dragon Spirit.
The fourth ring rose soon after.
"Golden Dragon Burst!"
Wang Qiu'er pointed her delicate hand forward, a huge Golden Dragon opened its enormous maw, sweeping towards Lin Yi.
Yet upon reaching Lin Yi, the Golden Dragon suddenly disappeared. This assault by the Golden Dragon did not seem to be the main attack, and sure enough, in the next moment, Wang Qiu'er clenched her fist.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three massive explosions sounded in succession where Lin Yi was standing. With each blast, a bright light appeared, and a Golden Dragon emerged from it with a roar.
Attack ended.
Wang Qiu'er waited expectantly for her Damage Rebound to manifest, but there was no sign of it even after a long while.
"..."
She was a bit speechless.
So the damage still didn't surpass one hundred thousand?
Unlike others, who feel relieved each time there is no Damage Rebound, Wang Qiu'er eagerly wished she could produce a rebound of her own.
