"But just as Thousand Waves was about to reveal his Martial Soul and bring out the Angel Holy Sword, Lin Yi suddenly spoke up: "Wait."
"What do you mean, 'wait'?! Don't wait!"
Sea God was almost collapsing internally, screaming in his heart. He couldn't wait to see a change of expression on Angel God's face. If he couldn't let this out soon, he would suffocate!
Filled with curiosity, Thousand Waves asked, "What is it, senior?"
"A complete set of Battle Armor needs a name. Your Four-Word Battle Armor hasn't been named yet. Give it a name. Only with a name will your Four-Word Battle Armor truly be endowed with essence."
Reminded by Lin Yi, Thousand Waves suddenly realized and began to stroke his chin in thought.
"How about we call it 'Dao Liu Ai Xi'?"
From behind, Poseissi's voice came: "… If you dare to name it that, you're dead."
Thousand Waves couldn't help but shudder and said awkwardly, "Fine, fine."
He turned his head towards Qian Renxue, saying bluntly, "It will be named 'Grandpa Loves Xue'!"
"Hehe, so I'm just 'Level Two' in your heart, right?"
Qian Renxue retorted in dissatisfaction.
Thousand Waves replied with a smile, "How could that be? You are my most cherished granddaughter, and for you, Grandpa would give up his own life. I'm not lying to you, oh."
"Hmph."
Qian Renxue pouted, turning her head away.
At this moment, Lin Yi was rather touched. In the original story, Thousand Waves did sacrifice himself for Qian Renxue; he truly hadn't lied.
"Have you decided? It'll be named 'Grandpa Loves Xue'?"
"Yes, I've decided!"
No sooner had he spoken than the glow of the Four-Word Battle Armor on Thousand Waves's body began to flow, as if it were merging with some peculiar energy at that moment, making the golden light emanating from it even more intense.
He smiled, very pleased with the reward of this endeavor.
"Here it comes, it's coming!"
Sea God looked forward to the scene below, while constantly twisting his head to watch Angel God's expression, doing so with such frequency that Angel God felt like tearing his head off.
Thousand Waves invoked his Martial Soul, and the phantom of the Six-winged Angel appeared as he stretched out his right hand, and the Divine Angelic Holy Sword materialized in his palm.
It appeared!
Sea God stared at Angel God's face, noticing that the usually cold lady's eyes clearly widened. Despite only a very slight change of expression on her face, Sea God could read the incredulous astonishment.
"Right? I didn't lie, did I? Even I can tell this is a Divine Artifact; surely you couldn't miss it, right? You even slapped me because of it—"
"Slap!"
Angel God expressionlessly slapped the other half of Sea God's cheek while her gaze remained fixed on Thousand Waves's right hand.
That was indeed a Divine Artifact.
Her guest elder, holding her Divine Artifact.
Why...
Did he give it?
Angel God's gaze fixed on Lin Yi as her mood suddenly became agitated.
Nine Soul Rings rose from around Thousand Waves's body, with both his third and seventh Soul Rings flickering at the same time.
"Martial Soul True Body!"
The massive phantom of the Six-winged Angel appeared behind Thousand Waves. If one looked closely, they could see that this angel phantom resembled the God of Angels by about seventy percent; the difference lay only in that between a phantom and a real person.
"Third soul skill, Light Blade Slash!"
Using his first and third soul skills with the Divine Artifact was what Thousand Waves most frequently did.
Clad in his Four-Word Battle Armor, he moved exceedingly fast, his Angel Holy Sword slicing through the air with a sharp breath. The floating golden lines revealed sharpness and heat.
"Boom!"
Merging with the angel phantom, Thousand Waves swung his sword down upon Lin Yi. The huge surge of energy and the scorching sacred breath swept outwards, wildly uncontrolled.
Ending his attack, Thousand Waves swiftly retreated, and six golden metallic wings sprouted from his Four-Word Battle Armor in a flash, surprising even himself. His Four-Word Battle Armor had actually mutated by fusing with his own attributes!
After putting some distance between them, Thousand Waves held the Holy Sword, and his third soul ring ascended once again, with his Holy Sword seemingly igniting with gold flames, ready to strike at any moment.
Damage rebound formed, Thousand Waves bellowed out as he seized the moment while the power of his real body hadn't faded, executing Light Blade Slash once more!
"Bang!"
The damage rebound shattered completely.
Lin Yi glanced at the panel.
[Blood Loss: 753467]
[Remaining Health: 899874026437]
[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]
[Random Reward: Domestic Superhero Template Roulette*1]
[Host Reward: Domestic Superhero Template Roulette*3]
Superhero template?
Although the prefix added two words, Lin Yi didn't belittle this reward because even though the lower limit was low, the upper limit could be quite high, for instance, Son Goku.
It was undeniable that Son Goku indeed was a template for a superhero, just of the mythical story kind.
With that said, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh again, Thousand Waves had, once again, damnably landed on The Big Wheel!
He said to Thousand Waves, "Damage 753467, Gold (Junior), your reward is the Blue Star Hua Nation superhero roulette."
Hearing about The Big Wheel, Thousand Waves couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, but when he heard 'Blue Star', a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
The Blue Planet was a magical place indeed, where the rewards' upper limit was really high!
Lin Yi continued, "Blue Planet is similar to Soul Land, it consists of different countries, and the superheroes from the roulette you'll get are from one of the countries on Blue Star."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yi casually flicked a golden light spot toward the empty air.
Watching the light spot turn into The Big Wheel, Thousand Waves swallowed hard. He glanced at Qian Renxue and thought better of it; his granddaughter was injured and presumably out of luck, so he decided to rely on himself.
Thousand Waves approached The Big Wheel and took hold of the edge, giving it a strong spin.
A minute later, the wheel stopped.
Lin Yi revealed the result.
[Electro Boy]
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Seeing Lin Yi suddenly fall silent, Thousand Waves immediately panicked, "Senior! What happened?! What's this result?!"
Lin Yi shook his head silently, "Nothing, just a bit unexpected is all, but that doesn't mean the reward is bad, it feels okay."
I just didn't expect him to actually bring out a superhero from a cartoon... this is really, so unexpected.
Lin Yi couldn't help but think about Electro Boy's striking appearance, and looking at Thousand Waves in his handsome Four-Word Battle Armor, he couldn't help but feel anxious for him.
"This character does have quite a few abilities, and it requires transformation first..."
"Quite a few? How many?"
Hearing Thousand Waves' question, Lin Yi replied, "Around ten or so."
"Hiss—"
ps. Tomorrow's Qian Renxue storyline is a bit exciting, so please look forward to it (though it might not be what you're expecting).
By the way, I recommend a Soul Land fanfiction:
"Soul Land Asks You to Stan Qian Renxue, Yet You Became the Empress"
A Soul Land fanfiction from a female perspective, worth checking out if you're interested.
