Translator: 549690339
"I am not leaving."
Xue Qinghe stood up, his expression resolute as he spoke.
Thousand Waves and Bi Bidong, upon hearing these words, were not particularly surprised, nor did they have any objections.
At this moment, compared to the infiltration plan with Martial Soul Hall, Lin Yi's presence was clearly much more important and urgent.
This young man could endlessly raise the potential of a Soul Master, a fortune that came once in a millennium!
"Whether you leave or stay is up to you, I'm right here and that won't change."
Lin Yi said indifferently.
If Xue Qinghe failed to return for a long time, it would definitely attract the attention of the Star Luo Royal Family.
This was an opportunity for indirect publicity.
Lin Yi didn't want his feats to only spread within Soul City; his target was the entire continent.
He welcomed powerhouses from all over the continent to come and challenge him, soul beasts included.
Therefore, attracting Xue Qinghe to stay was a key step in his plan.
The Crown Prince's network of connections was indeed significant.
"Rest assured, Your Highness, our Martial Soul Hall practices the way of hospitality; we will take good care of you during this time,"
Bi Bidong said with appropriate manners.
"Then I'm much obliged to Pope Bi Bidong for the hospitality,"
Xue Qinghe said with a smile, giving a bow.
Nobody knew how long Lin Yi would stay here, so they needed to seize the time and claim all the rewards they could.
At this point, the elders down below exchanged glances, and Dragon Lance Douluo immediately stepped forward and said:
"Now, it's my turn, everyone!"
The elders had noticed the restlessness among the guest elders.
If they didn't act now, the others would beat them to it.
Sure enough, at this moment, the Second Worshiper from the Worship Hall spoke to Thousand Waves:
"Great Priest, my brothers and I would also like to challenge this young man for a reward."
Thousand Waves nodded: "There's no need to report such matters to me; you can decide for yourselves."
"Thank you, Great Priest!"
The Second Worshiper and the others showed an excited expression.
Seeing the situation now, who wouldn't be envious? Nobody could remain indifferent in the face of such unprecedented rewards!
Even the Jade Emperor himself wouldn't be able to sit still.
Seeing this, Dragon Lance Douluo became anxious and jumped up to the stage.
"Second Worshiper, don't be hasty; I'm already ready to attack!"
Regardless of the guest elders glaring at him with darkened faces, Dragon Lance Douluo immediately approached Lin Yi.
"Senior, I'm about to attack."
"Please proceed."
Lin Yi looked at Dragon Lance Douluo, whose previous attack was his ninth soul skill.
Before Thousand Waves and Xue Qinghe jointly set the highest damage record at 174634, the record had been held by Dragon Lance Douluo.
How would he choose to attack this time?
Lin Yi could see that these people couldn't stand losing at all, so each one wanted their damage to be higher than the last.
"Seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body!" Dragon Lance Douluo shouted.
The Dragon Lance bristled with intense electrical light, his weapon soul momentarily transforming into a beast soul; electrical threads sparked in the air as the double-headed dragon coiled around and abruptly grew several times larger.
The formidable double-headed dragon roared, lifting the entire body of Dragon Lance Douluo.
Compared to the massive double-headed dragon, Lin Yi's body seemed too small to even be stuck between its teeth.
"Ninth soul skill!" Dragon Lance Douluo followed up with a contemplative shout.
As Lin Yi anticipated, in pursuit of increased damage, Dragon Lance Douluo opted to unleash his ninth soul skill augmented by the Martial Soul True Body.
Intense electrical light flashed, and with a roar, the double-headed dragon dived toward Lin Yi.
Before the attack landed, the double-headed dragon once again altered its form, transforming into a sharp Dragon Lance, only this time several times larger!
"Boom—"
Such a formidable strike left even the guest elders below momentarily stunned.
It was clear that the current Serpent Spear Douluo was no longer the same as before; the power of his strike even made the Second Worshiper shudder for a moment.
If they had fought just now, it was truly uncertain who would win or who would lose.
Even though the damage commanded the respect of the guest elders, the final outcome still failed to leave any injury on Lin Yi's body.
Reverting back from his Martial Soul True Body and putting away his Martial Soul, Dragon Lance Douluo sat down somewhat exhaustedly.
He looked at Lin Yi, gasping for breath, feeling utterly despairing.
Even with all his buffs stacked to the max, they had no effect whatsoever on Lin Yi.
"Predecessor, your defense, I truly can't break through..."
Dragon Lance Douluo shook his head, his face filled with helplessness.
Lin Yi glanced at the panel and suddenly looked at Dragon Lance with a bit of sympathy.
It seemed there was something even more frustrating waiting for him.
It looked like Dragon Lance Douluo's luck had run out.
[Blood loss: 199999]
[Remaining Health: 999996978456]
[Damage Level: Black (High Level)]
[Random Reward: Barrett*1]
[Host Reward: 0.5 BMG bullets*100]
Lin Yi stared at the panel with a weird expression, to be honest, his mentality was also a bit shaken.
This was the closest he had gotten to Red Level damage!
He even wanted to see what exactly was in the red reward pool!
Just one damn drop of blood short!
Dragon Lance, you cursed non-luckster!
Lin Yi looked up at Dragon Lance Douluo, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible, "Congratulations, you've set a new record for highest damage."
At this, Dragon Lance Douluo's eyes lit up, "How much?"
"199999."
"What?"
"199999."
"...What?"
"199999."
"Pfft—"
Dragon Lance Douluo covered his chest and spurted out blood, then collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Lin Yi was taken aback.
Could the backlash from the attack be delayed?
"Dragon Lance!"
Several Elders immediately rushed up to the stage, but Dragon Lance Douluo was lying there with his consciousness fading.
This was indeed a bit tragic.
Lin Yi shook his head sympathetically and sighed, "There's still a reward, who could claim it on his behalf?"
At this moment, Bi Bidong walked up to the stage.
"I'll hold onto it for him first."
To be honest, Bi Bidong was also curious to know whether Dragon Lance Douluo's attack would reach Red Level, as his last damage was already 170,000.
But she never expected such an outcome.
Lin Yi flicked the black orb of light toward Bi Bidong.
As the orb transformed into rewards, Bi Bidong took a step back with a stunned expression.
She was holding the heavy Barrett sniper rifle, her brain buzzing.
If you were to ask what she most wanted to win, one would be a fragment of the Rakshasa God Experience Card, and the other was this black stick...
"Is this... Serpent Spear Elder's reward?"
Bi Bidong asked Lin Yi in surprise.
Lin Yi nodded, but the next moment, he saw a sight that made his expression freeze.
Bi Bidong carefully put away the Barrett and then stored it in her own soul tool.
Was she planning to claim it for herself?
The other Elders watched Bi Bidong with dumbfounded expressions.
Dragon Lance Douluo was still vomiting blood with hazy consciousness and had no idea he had lost his reward.
Noticing the gazes cast her way, Bi Bidong spoke coldly, "Dragon Lance Douluo has no objections, do any of you?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo silently turned to look at Dragon Lance Douluo at that moment.
Dragon Lance Douluo was busy spitting blood, he couldn't raise an objection even if he had one!
ps. Tomorrow, I'll strive for three updates.
Stay tuned for Bi Bidong in black silk using the Barrett for a long-distance snipe on Yu Xiaogang!
