In less than a second, Zhu Zhuyun had already arrived in front of Lin Yi.
Due to the fusion with the Dark Demon Evil Tiger, Zhu Zhuyun's face had taken on a somewhat "sinister" air, but this sinisterness was completely a bonus for her at this moment.
It made her already stunning appearance even more enchanting.
Zhu Zhuyun's eyes, glowing red, glanced past Lin Yi's cheek, and as her pitch-black claws sliced through the air, the attack seemed to tear open a black hole, its sharp and sinister aura grazing by Lin Yi in an instant.
Ying Wei silently retreated, his eyes filled with fear, as if accepting reality.
It was clear that this was no longer the vice-captain he recognized.
The vice-captain of now was no longer a figure that belonged within the team...
After the attack concluded, Zhu Zhuyun's body shimmered with a silver light and she teleported next to Dai Ben.
With the experience from their last attack, they managed this one with much more ease.
Dai Ben quickly unleashed the White Tiger Demon God Transformation, and a purple glow rippled across his body, making it swell even larger and his fur much tougher.
"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"
Dai Ben then roared lowly, spewing forth from his mouth a thick column of light. What was originally a blazing white beam, was now tinged with a layer of purple, thanks to the Tyrant Body's boost.
This caused the overall damage of the White Tiger Intense Light Wave to skyrocket several times over.
The Damage Rebound that swelled up around Lin Yi was crushed by the prepared "White Tiger Intense Light Wave."
Throughout the process, Zhu Zhuyun appeared more like a queen, Dai Ben transforming into her guard.
Ying Wei couldn't bear directly watching the two on stage any longer; his perception felt assaulted, and he would sooner believe this was all a dream.
Just then, a change took place in his eyes.
After a second of silence.
"Ptooey, ptooey!"
Ying Wei spat onto his hand and stood up straight, smiling as he slicked his hair back with both hands.
A hearty laugh erupted from him.
Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Ben on stage were immediately drawn by the sight, seeing Ying Wei sporting a slicked-back hairdo and striking a very dapper pose.
His sharp gaze fixed on Dai Ben above. With a smirk, he said, "Dai Ben, oh Dai Ben, if you can treat Zhu Zhuyun that way, why be so serious with me? Could it be that I, Ying Wei, am unworthy?"
Pointing at Dai Ben, he chuckled devilishly and struck another flamboyant pose.
"Now, I permit you to treat me the same way, for I am ready to enjoy emperor-level service."
Dai Ben: "..."
Frowning, he said to Zhu Zhuyun, "You go ahead and collect your reward, I need to deal with a little personal matter..."
Zhu Zhuyun's eye twitched as she nodded.
She ignored the screams coming from behind her and looked quietly towards Lin Yi.
[Blood Loss: 296783]
[Remaining Life: 899886086783]
[Damage Level: Red (Novice)]
[Random Reward: Miraculous Paper Technique]
[Host Reward: Miraculous Paper Technique (Critical Hit, see notes)]
Paper Technique?
"How mysterious, you didn't reveal a single detail, making me read the instructions."
Lin Yi carefully glanced through and suddenly felt quite fond of one of the abilities from the reward, an ability he had dreamt of having since his childhood.
"Damage 296783, Red Junior, your reward is the Miraculous Paper Technique."
Zhu Zhuyun seemed to misunderstand what "paper technique" meant.
Lin Yi then looked around and casually asked, "Who has paper? I need at least two sheets."
Seeing Bi Bidong about to tear her dress, Lin Yi immediately looked at her and emphasized again, "I need paper, not cloth."
Bi Bidong instantly let go of the hem of her dress with a look of regret.
Meanwhile, Miss Ning immediately handed over two smooth sheets of paper with joy, handing them to Zhu Zhuyun, who smiled and walked forward to present them to Lin Yi with both hands.
Holding the two sheets in his hands, Lin Yi said, "This ability called the Miraculous Paper Technique is manifested in two aspects."
"The first ability, anything you fold from paper will be granted life, or rather, it will have the abilities that the folded item should possess."
After finishing his explanation, Lin Yi looked at Zhu Zhuyun and asked, "Can you fold anything with paper?"
Zhu Zhuyun immediately nodded, "I can fold Thousand Paper Cranes!"
Lin Yi hummed in acknowledgment and continued, "This first ability allows any paper creation with at least eighty percent completion to be granted life and its corresponding abilities while maintaining its paper state."
"After integrating the reward, you'll also receive a special paper-folding method to create a warrior called 'White Paper Warrior,' which requires roughly three square meters of paper to fold a standard White Paper Warrior. They are very powerful, of course, you can also use a smaller size of paper, but the abilities will be significantly reduced."
Knowing that papermaking existed in Soul Land, Lin Yi believed that Zhu Zhuyun would be able to find three square meters of paper.
"Another thing, paper creations including the White Paper Warriors only have a lifespan of seven days."
Zhu Zhuyun nodded immediately, indicating she remembered.
Lin Yi continued, "The second ability of the Miraculous Paper Technique is to fulfill wishes, but there's a condition."
He then asked, "Can you fold a paper airplane?"
Zhu Zhuyun frowned, "What is that?"
Oh right, there's no such thing as 'airplane' in Soul Land...
Lin Yi's expression unchanged, "It's something similar to the Thousand Paper Cranes that can be thrown to fly a distance manually. After the reward integration, you will also learn how to fold the paper airplane along with the White Paper Warrior."
"This ability lets you pick any sheet of paper, write your wish on it, and then fold it into a paper airplane. If this paper airplane can fly a straight distance of a hundred meters, then the wish will be immediately granted."
"Friendly reminder, your first ability to give life to paper toys does not apply to paper airplanes, meaning, every paper airplane you fold will just be an ordinary paper airplane."
After speaking, Lin Yi flicked the red orb of light towards Zhu Zhuyun.
Once the reward was integrated, the folding techniques for 'White Paper Warrior' and 'paper airplane' swiftly appeared in Zhu Zhuyun's mind.
She was immediately shocked by the complexity of the White Paper Warrior folding technique and the simplicity of the paper airplane's.
Just a second ago, she thought it would be the other way around.
At that moment, Lin Yi reached out to hand the two sheets of paper to Zhu Zhuyun, who excitedly took them.
She first used one of the sheets to fold a Thousand Paper Crane.
Zhu Zhuyun's techniques were practiced; it was clear she had folded many before. In no time, a standard Thousand Paper Crane took shape.
The next moment, the Thousand Paper Crane truly flapped its wings and took flight, showing affection and dependence on Zhu Zhuyun like a pet.
When the Thousand Paper Crane obediently landed on top of Zhu Zhuyun's head, she used the other sheet to fold a paper airplane.
A hundred meters, that's quite close, isn't it? It should be easy to fly that distance, right?
Yes, first write down the wish!
