656, this is like childhood, but also not the same_1

What kind of joke is this? The Dark Evil Tiger isn't considered a tiger? Aren't all tiger-type Martial Souls part of the feline family?

And speaking of feline bloodlines, Zhu Zhuyun has had one from the start, since her original Martial Soul is the Ghost Cat.

However, Dai Ben took the furball in his hand and vigorously shook it towards Zhu Zhuyun's direction, but the creature had no reaction whatsoever. Instead, from behind Zhu Zhuyun, a group of about twenty men and women suddenly rushed over to their side.

Their eyes were round and wide, fixated on the furball in Dai Ben's hand. If Dai Ben so much as slightly moved the furball, these individuals' gazes would immediately follow its new position.

The scene resembled someone teasing a cat with a furball… Dai Ben could see the excitement in their eyes.

More and more people were drawn to the scene.

Since there were nearly a thousand people present, many with dragon bloodlines, it was natural that there were also many with feline bloodlines.

With just a slight movement of the furball in his hand, they would shift positions like vigilant cats. The sight of one to two hundred people doing this simultaneously was simply too comical.

Upon seeing this scene, Dai Ben tried saying, "Spin around."

Instantly, the one to two hundred people spun in place, and although they did so in different directions, their movements were unusually in sync.

Dai Ben, "Jump!"

One to two hundred people jumped on the spot.

Dai Ben, "Squat."

One to two hundred people squatted right where they were.

From beginning to end, their gazes were locked on the furball in his hand.

Dai Ben immediately laughed and said, "Show me your Martial Souls."

Upon hearing the command, lights flickered as individuals displayed their own Martial Souls.

Indeed, just as Lin Yi had said, these people's Martial Souls were either cat-type, tiger-type, lion-type, leopard-type… in short, they were all so-called feline bloodline bearers.

It was at this moment that Lin Yi's voice came from behind.

"Actually, this reward is also influenced by the strength of the others, but people of different strength levels will have different levels of obedience towards you. In any case, they will all without exception develop a certain dependency on obeying you. For example, the weak might follow your commands to die, while the strong will not. However, if you ask the strong to do a small favor, they will comply."

Dai Ben nodded his head, and just then, Lin Yi continued:

"But feline bloodline bearers who are under my direct command will not be influenced by you at all."

This rule was, in a roundabout way, indicating that the reward could not directly or indirectly affect Lin Yi.

With that, Dai Ben instantly understood. No wonder the furball didn't work on Zhu Zhuyun, because she was a servant directly commanded by Lin Yi!

However, very few people on the scene knew this rule, and obviously nobody noticed it. To avoid complications, Dai Ben also chose to keep quiet.

Lin Yi, "The most important point, I'll repeat it again: the effect only happens when someone sees the furball, and the owner of the furball is the person holding it in their hand."

Dai Ben immediately nodded, "Yes, I remember."

Although it was just a simple exchange, Dai Ben knew Lin Yi was implicitly reminding him that the furball could be taken away. Once he no longer held the furball, he would lose the power to command all feline bloodline bearers across the continent.

"Senior Lin Yi, I'm about to start my second offensive of the day."

Dai Ben put away the furball and said to Lin Yi.

"Hmm."

The Hot Meme Attack slips he had just drawn were still left unused. Since it had been ten minutes since the draw, that meme had expired, so Dai Ben would have to rely on another ability.

Just then, in the silent venue, a lively prelude suddenly started to play.

"Fold a thousand paper cranes, then tie a red ribbon～"

Dai Ben had once again employed his BGM Domain after a long absence; he had no choice, as the damage increased, those auxiliary abilities he wanted to keep at the bottom of his chest had to be dug out again.

Soon, Dai Ben released his Martial Soul, and the fourth, sixth, and seventh Soul Rings on his body lit up simultaneously!

This time he was actually going to use three soul skills at the same time.

"White Tiger True Body!"

"White Tiger Demon God Transformation!"

"White Tiger Meteor Shower!"

The names of three soul skills growled out from Dai Ben's mouth.

His physique quickly grew robust and inflated, and behind him, a shadowy figure riding on the back of a tiger slowly approached. Fuhu Arhat's figure was enormous, the shadow like a deity; even with eyes closed, it exuded a commanding presence.

Dai Ben's muscles bulged once more, his hair standing on end, shrouded in a purple glow. As he punched downward, the sky suddenly sparkled with countless dense light spots.

Upon magnification, these light points were actually white-gold "卍" symbols plummeting like meteors, trailing long, glowing tails.

All the Meteor Shower fell upon Lin Yi, and although the spectacle was grand, it still failed to have any effect on Lin Yi, instead seeming to flash over him again and again.

With his Soul Power still abundant, Dai Ben maintained his current state and released White Tiger Demon-slaying Kill to crush the Damage Rebound.

The attack ended.

Lin Yi checked the panel.

[Loss of Health: 421,634]

[Remaining Health: 883,039,279,634]

[Damage Level: Red (High Grade)]

[Random Reward: Magical Bubble Solution]

[Host Reward: Magical Bubble Solution (Critical Hit, see notes)]

It seemed to be a new item reward, so Lin Yi directly checked the notes.

A moment later, he said to Dai Ben, "Damage 421,634, Red High Level, your reward is Magical Bubble Solution."

"First, let me ask you, have you ever blown soap bubbles?"

Dai Ben nodded, "I have, but that was when I was a child."

Having been raised in the royal family, imbued with the intense atmosphere of royalty, Dai Ben truly didn't have much of a childhood, but blowing soap bubbles was indeed one of the few treasured childhood memories he had.

Yet, what stuck with him the most was that afternoon when he was playing with soap bubbles alone in the courtyard, only to be slapped across the face by his mother who had rushed over.

His mother had said excitedly at the time that a prince of the Dai Family must always think about how to survive in the depths of the palace, rather than give up precious time for cultivation for fleeting pleasure.

Memories pulled back to reality, Dai Ben looked at Lin Yi with curiosity, "Is this Magical Bubble Solution the same as the soap bubbles I played with as a child?"

Lin Yi nodded and then shook his head, "The same, yet not the same."

Having said that, he flicked the red orb in his hand towards Dai Ben, and what appeared in Dai Ben's hand was a long cylindrical transparent tube, filled with bubble solution.

ps. The one update a day these past few days is really because I've been too busy. I just had a minor surgery today, but fortunately, it's now over. I'll be back to two updates tomorrow.
