The Jin E Xiao Douluo furrowed his brows; he didn't like books. The last time he read one, it made him very unhappy.
"This is a fairytale book and also your second space,"
As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, everyone at the scene suddenly looked at each other in surprise.
Second Space?!
Lin Yi flipped through the pages of the book and said calmly, "This book's space is completely independent of Soul Land. Even if Soul Land were destroyed, it would not affect you in the slightest while you are within this book's space."
Hearing this, Thousand Waves couldn't stay composed. He quickly gave the Third Offeror a meaningful glance with his eyes; such a high-level reward should not be wasted in the hands of someone like Jin E.
The Third Offeror immediately stepped onto the platform and stood beside the Jin E Xiao Douluo.
Lin Yi continued,
"You can freely enter any story within this fairytale book, but within the story, you will not possess any abilities from the Soul Land plane, and can only act as an ordinary person. Therefore, this book can completely serve as a personal second space that you carry with you."
Even so, the reward was still precious!
Just as the Jin E Xiao Douluo was about to come forward to receive the reward, the Third Offeror stepped ahead of him and took the fairytale book from Lin Yi's hands.
"I will accept and keep this reward on behalf of the second brother,"
Lin Yi nodded, "That's fine. Give it to him when he's older. Even though it's a fairytale world, if he enters without any special abilities, he could still encounter survival crises."
"Your subordinate will keep that in mind,"
The Third Offeror bowed in understanding.
The Jin E Xiao Douluo watched the Third Offeror walk off the stage with his reward, pouting and unhappy.
"Begin the second assault,"
Lin Yi said to him.
But the Jin E Xiao Douluo was still staring intently at the Third Offeror, muttering, "I want the reward..."
He was reluctant to attack.
Lin Yi looked coldly at Thousand Waves.
Fucking deal with it! If you can fight, then fight; if not, take him away!
"I'm going to cook your moth larva!"
Thousand Waves reminded from the side.
"Martial Soul True Body!"
The Jin E Xiao Douluo roared, but this time, he was stuck; his Martial Soul True Body didn't appear again.
"Your real body shattered unnaturally just now, and I'm afraid it can't be reconnected for a second time anytime soon,"
Lin Yi said.
The Jin E Xiao Douluo pouted unhappily.
He angrily shouted again, "Ninth Soul Skill! Golden Scales Blade!"
Even without the Martial Soul True Body, when the ring of blood-red Soul Rings floated mid-air, everyone still felt the terrifying oppression from Jin E.
A hundred thousand year soul skill!
The Jin E Xiao Douluo raised his two chubby white hands, grasping a thick golden blade handle.
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, huge golden scales gathered, extending from the thick golden blade handle to form the blade edge, "Clank clank clank—," the golden scales fitted piece by piece onto the blade, producing a metallic clash, and once the fusion was complete, the whole blade shone brilliantly with golden light.
Holding the Golden Scales Blade that was three times his size, the Jin E Xiao Douluo's eyes once again took on a crimson-gold gleam.
He rushed toward Lin Yi, his feet cracking the platform beneath, yet the heavy and gigantic blade in his hands felt as light as a feather.
"Ha!"
The little guy leaped up, the blade swinging in mid-air emitted the roar of a crocodile.
"Boom!"
The blade struck down on Lin Yi; it was definitely a violent blow, only it was delivered by such a small body.
The Jin E Xiao Douluo landed, his shoulder bearing the huge blade as he slid backward for four or five meters.
Damage Rebound struck again, and this time he had learned his lesson. The blade on his shoulder was once again whirled up by him to meet the incoming Damage Rebound!
"Boom!"
The heavy blade tip embedded in the platform, then the entire blade dissipated into light and vanished.
This was the first time the little guy had used a hundred thousand year soul skill.
Lin Yi knew that while the blade appeared to be a physical attack, it was actually fifty-fifty between physical and energy attacks, both containing an aggressive armor-piercing effect, which was the true horror of a hundred thousand year ninth soul skill.
[Blood Loss: 314,678]
[Remaining Health: 899,946,024,678]
[Damage Level: Red Primary (Downgrade)]
[Random Reward: Negative Emotion Collection Million Progress Unlocks Gold-tier Advanced Reward]
[Host Reward: Positive Emotion Collection Million Progress Unlocks Black Gold Reward]
What kind of reward is this?
Lin Yi decisively checked the System's notes on the reward.
"Damage 314,678, below the highest damage, downgraded to Red Primary, your reward..."
Lin Yi paused as he got to this point.
He raised a red orb of light and flicked it straight towards the head of the Jin E Xiao Douluo.
Everyone was surprised to see that when the orb reached above his head, it actually turned into a progress bar!
It seemed that the Jin E Xiao Douluo noticed the curious looks from everyone, so he reached up to grab at the progress bar above his head, but his fingers passed right through its essence.
It appeared that the progress bar was an illusion, not a physical entity.
Then Lin Yi continued, "Your reward is, the Negative Emotion Collection Million Progress unlocks a Gold-tier Advanced Reward."
"It sounds a bit verbose, but this progress bar has a target value of one million. It requires you to collect negative emotions such as anger, disgust, sadness, jealousy, and so on, generated by the people around you because of you, with a minimum collection value of 1,000 each time."
"Once the one million progress bar is filled up, you will receive a Gold-tier Advanced Reward."
Upon hearing this, Jin E Xiao Douluo looked up at his own progress bar above his head, but unfortunately, he couldn't see it himself.
Noticing the smiles on the faces of Thousand Waves and the others, Lin Yi said, "The negative emotions cannot be faked; otherwise, they won't count."
The smile on Thousand Waves' face vanished instantly.
Actually, this reward distribution is quite reasonable. The Jin E Xiao Douluo is of an age that doesn't listen to instructions and loves causing trouble, which easily generates negative emotions in the people around him.
And Lin Yi needs to collect one million positive emotions.
The progress bar is in his System Space, not above his head.
Positive emotions include happiness, admiration, gratitude, trust, astonishment...etc. Lin Yi deals with a vast group of people on a daily basis, so it's certain that the progress bar will quickly accumulate to a million.
The final result of the progress bar is a Black Gold Reward.
This is one type of the multi-colored rewards. The enhancement effect of Black Gold Rewards is: if the current reward is not satisfactory, you may re-select from the multi-colored reward pool once more.
Just then, the Third Offeror, who had ascended the stage, was surprised to find that the progress bar above the head of Jin E Xiao Douluo had started to rise!
"Where is this negative emotion coming from, and why has it arisen?"
The Third Offeror asked excitedly and confusedly.
"It's probably jealousy. The damage of the Gold-tier Advanced Reward is as high as nine hundred thousand, and so far, no one has ever received it. The basic value of negative emotion is a thousand, and for someone who is more intensely jealous, it could be tens of thousands."
After hearing Lin Yi's explanation, the Third Offeror nodded, suddenly enlightened.
The senior's rewards really are varied, huh!
After sending Jin E Xiao Douluo off the stage, the Third Offeror stayed up there, and it was his turn to attack.
Third guest elder of Martial Soul Hall, Martial Soul White Armor Earth Dragon, titled Divine Dragon Douluo, with a Soul Power of Level 96.
However, his attack damage has always been maintained at a low and stable level, and so far, his own damage record had just barely passed the Red Intermediate level.
After the attack ended, Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Blood Loss: 314,786]
[Remaining Health: 899,945,713,764]
[Damage Level: Red (Intermediate)]
[Random Reward: Bloodline Purification]
[Host Reward: Dragon God's Bloodline]
Lin Yi was momentarily stunned; the Dragon God's bloodline was just handed to him so randomness through a reward critical hit.
For now, he stored it in the System Space, and didn't merge it yet.
Merging the Dragon God's bloodline would have significant effects, attracting Gu Yuena's attention was the lesser concern, but it could also draw the attention of the several Supreme Gods in the Divine Realm.
Lin Yi had said before that he did not want to deal with the gods at the moment because it would affect his step-by-step plan.
The White Armor Earth Dragon was of the sub-dragon species, and the Red Intermediate level Bloodline Purification could probably raise his bloodline to the level of a true dragon, just like the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon's bloodline purity.
