As the Breakthrough Celestial Stone merged into his body, Jin E Xiao Douluo stepped back in disbelief.
"What… This time it's actually not a longevity reward?!"
Upon hearing the commotion, he immediately looked down towards the stands.
He saw Emperor Xueye's legs go weak and his body slump sideways into Ning Fengzhi's arms, his face etched with sorrow.
"Your Majesty, please, stay calm!"
Ning Fengzhi said with some worry.
Emperor Xueye had come with them, and if something were to happen, they would be fully responsible.
"My longevity reward, it's gone…"
Lying in Ning Fengzhi's arms, Emperor Xueye muttered as he gazed at the sky.
"My city, gone as well…"
As he spoke, his voice choked up and he began to cry, tears streaming down his face in an instant.
Lin Yi, witnessing this, seemed to understand the cause and effect.
He said calmly, "The rewards for attacking drop randomly; it's impossible to have a fixed reward. The situation with the Second Worshiper before was just a coincidence."
"The only thing you can do, and also determine in advance, is to enhance the quality of the reward, as it is entirely determined by the damage inflicted."
"If you really have a desired goal, it all boils down to luck, so I hope everyone can keep a stable mindset."
Jin E Xiao Douluo scratched his head, his expression somewhat strange.
He felt a little embarrassed to have received a city from Emperor Xueye.
At this moment, he sat down cross-legged to regulate his breath.
Soon after, a sound like shattering glass emanated from his mind.
He had actually made a breakthrough…
I've broken through!
Jin E Xiao Douluo's eyes widened in disbelief as he realized he had reached the peak of Level 99 as a Douluo now!
"Yay! Yay!"
Jin E Xiao Douluo jumped up on the spot, unrestrained in showing his excitement and joy, just like a little child.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Calm down!"
Hearing the Second Worshiper's cheers from the stands, Emperor Xueye's eyes snapped open and his breathing turned ragged.
Ning Fengzhi immediately pressed on his philtrum, trying to bring Emperor Xueye back to consciousness.
"Your Majesty! Please, calm down! Our Tiandou's foundation is vast and we have plenty of cities, we can afford to lose this one!"
For some reason, listening to Ning Fengzhi's consolation, Emperor Xueye's condition suddenly worsened, and he struggled to catch his breath.
Completely different scenes played out above and below the stands.
Full of excitement, Jin E Xiao Douluo approached Lin Yi and unabashedly hugged him, planting several kisses on his cheeks.
No matter how stately and solemn the older form of the Golden Crocodile Douluo appeared, his childlike form was quite fair and adorable, endearing to others.
But Lin Yi was cold to outsiders.
"Kid, keep your distance from me."
He said indifferently.
Sensing the tension, Thousand Waves quickly stepped forward to pull Jin E Xiao Douluo's hand, leading him down from the stands.
This child, don't get smashed by the senior with a punch…
Now the Worship Hall had another Ultimate Douluo added to their ranks, albeit one in the form of a child both in appearance and personality; it was uncertain whether this was a blessing or a curse.
…
As the guest elders finished their attacks one by one, Emperor Xueye was taken outside by Ning Fengzhi.
Perhaps it was the air circulation or maybe Emperor Xueye had come to terms with his loss, but his condition finally seemed to improve.
The four of them continued to wait outside, silently praying that those before them would finish quickly.
"No!!!!!!"
Dragon Lance Douluo knelt on the platform, hands covering his head, his face a mask of agony.
Ever since he dealt 199,999 damage, his attacks had never surpassed that figure again.
So far, Dragon Lance Douluo had received four Black Intermediate Level rewards.
All of them were downgraded from Black Advanced Level quality.
"Why! Why!"
He screamed in disbelief.
Lin Yi said with a helpless expression, "You are the most single-minded person I've ever seen, why not use three soul skills at the same time? If done properly, the damage can accumulate."
The Dragon Lance Douluo's face was grave, "I don't need it, I believe in my Martial Soul. I refuse to believe that next time my Martial Soul True Body won't be able to push the ninth soul skill to 200,000 damage!"
It has to be said, Dragon Lance Douluo's luck has also been pretty bad. These days, not a single one of the Black Intermediate Level rewards he got was helpful in increasing his damage.
Truly an epitome of bad luck to the very end.
At this moment, Dragon Lance Douluo was about to step down from the stands.
Suddenly, Lin Yi asked from behind, "Did you forget something?"
Dragon Lance Douluo turned around, his expression puzzled, "What is it?"
"You don't seem to have coughed up blood today."
Dragon Lance Douluo: "…Thank you for reminding me, Senior. I've been a bit weak these days, so I won't cough up blood today…"
How embarrassing, it seems his frequent blood-spitting had made a lasting impression on the senior.
However, Lin Yi felt that it was precisely because he coughed up blood often that his damage hadn't improved—it was due to his weakened state.
…
After all the Elders had finished, Ning Fengzhi and the other three outside the crowd immediately looked over eagerly.
Indeed, Senior Lin Yi just waved casually at the normal Soul Masters without paying any attention to the four of them.
Ning Fengzhi was full of regret, aware that it was their own tardiness that was to blame.
As night fell.
Bi Bidong and the others returned to the Martial Soul Hall.
After taking a bath, Qian Renxue stayed in her room, studying the method to create Guanyin tears when Thousand Waves knocked on her door.
"My dear granddaughter, Bi Bidong is calling you over, saying she has something for you," he said.
"What is it?"
"The woman says it's something very important, I'm not sure what it is."
"Alright, I'll go now."
Qian Renxue actually knew that Bi Bidong loved her.
It was for this reason that she had given her the majority of the Black Silk.
She planned to be a bit more pleasant towards Bi Bidong tonight, not as cold as she had been before.
Dressed in a gold nightgown, Qian Renxue closed her room door and walked towards Bi Bidong's royal bedchamber on her long, fair legs.
But before long, her screams could be heard.
And they were quite regular, lasting about ten seconds each time.
…
The night had fully descended.
Cold wind whistled through the streets.
Lin Yi had just sent off all the Gua Sha Masters.
Only four people were left beside the stands.
Emperor Xueye was still wrapped in a blanket. The four of them stood in front of Lin Yi as if they were begging for alms.
Shivering, Ning Fengzhi said, "Senior, do you think we still have a chance?"
Lin Yi looked at them calmly and said,
"Not today, come earlier tomorrow. I'll try to arrange for you after the Elders."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was overwhelmed with gratitude.
He clasped his hands and bowed deeply, "Thank you!"
Emperor Xueye, his lips white with cold, also bowed in thanks before the four of them left with a dejected backdrop.
After these four left.
[Construction complete, the tangible personification of Bossi (Senior Maid Outfit) is ready]
The voice from the System echoed in Lin Yi's mind.
The twenty-four hours had finally passed!
Lin Yi immediately stood up from the meditation cushion and ran into his room, locking the door behind him.
He then took out three Lucky Roulettes and carefully placed them on the bed.
"Bring out the tangible persona of Bossi."
Lin Yi said.
