After speaking, Lin Yi turned his attention back to the Soul Masters standing in long lines in front of him.
Actually, these scratch healers weren't without their uses.
He spoke up, "Everyone, if you're not confident in the damage you can inflict, you can actually seek the assistance of a strong person to bolster your attack."
"Or perhaps someone can unleash some ordinary fusion skill, a Soul Fusion Skill, and of course, the rewards you get can be freely distributed among yourselves."
Upon hearing this, everyone on the scene began to ponder on the spot.
Indeed, if there was a chance to secure better rewards, why not take it?
It wasn't as if they could only attack once; with two opportunities a day, they could simply share the two sets of rewards with another person!
With this thought, most of them suddenly scurried away in a hurry to find their helpers.
Only a few remained in line, either because they believed they couldn't find a helper or because they had inexplicable confidence in their own damage.
Lin Yi smiled to himself, thinking that this would not only increase the damage received per attack but also serve as free advertising.
As time passed, more and more people would learn that by hitting him they could receive rewards. Could there be any doubt that the Douluo Strongest wouldn't be among them?
Every person has needs, and the Douluo Strongest were no exception.
Moreover, Lin Yi had almost figured out that the System, based on the mental needs of the attacker, could offer a myriad of rewards, and certainly had the capital to satisfy the Douluo Strongest.
The only question was when he might trigger the reward pool above Black Level... For damage to reach the Black Level, it would require shedding over fifty thousand points of health!
The Red Level was even more exaggerated, needing over two hundred thousand, as for Gold Rank, and even the jackpot Gold Rank, those were things Lin Yi didn't dare to dream about at the moment.
"Shall we use the Soul Fusion Skill?"
Evil Moon tentatively glanced at Hulena.
But she looked somewhat troubled as she looked at Lin Yi.
The Soul Fusion Skill she shared with her brother was called Demon Charm. Due to their shared sibling bloodline, their Martial Souls were highly compatible, making Demon Charm very powerful, definitely several times stronger than Evil Moon's attack.
Under such a level of attack, could he really guarantee he wouldn't get injured?
Could he be killed in one blow? Not even Hulena could guarantee that.
"Senior, are you sure you don't have any last wishes?"
Hulena crouched down and asked Lin Yi earnestly.
She was close, and a faint scent of a young girl wafted to him, making Lin Yi take a more serious look at Hulena's features for the first time.
Her skin was fair, her cherry lips were moist, and her beautiful phoenix eyes exuded a cunning charm, causing one's heart to flutter and eyes to linger.
If one's mind wasn't strong enough, there might even be an impulse to kiss those red lips.
The beauty of a Douluo, indeed well-deserved!
However, Lin Yi concealed his impressions well. He closed his eyes and stated lightly,
"Hmm, put some force into it."
...Is this?
This is the last wish?
It's indeed as plain and unadorned as it gets.
Hulena stood up, looked at her brother, and nodded.
She was just as covetous of these opportunities. Although it was built on the basis of hurting a stranger, since Lin Yi was willing, any further hesitation on her part would seem pretentious.
"Martial Soul, Fusion!"
A pink mist suddenly enveloped the stands.
Upon seeing this scene, those in line below were suddenly unnerved!
"Is this, what if their Martial Soul Fusion Skill really kills him, then how can we get the rewards!"
"Two Soul Kings executing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, can this kid really withstand it?"
"Damn it! It's over! Had I known, I would have taken my chance earlier. Maybe I could have gotten a reward for increased Soul Power!"
...
The next moment, Demon Charm stepped out from the pink mist, standing more than two meters tall, clad in armor, wearing a mask on his face, and the two curved blades in his hands exhibited deadly arcs.
The oppressive power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill made everyone in the stands shiver.
Is this the trump card of Shrek Academy's Golden Generation?!
This oppressive force literally made it hard for people to breathe.
Demon Charm, holding the two elongated moon blades, walked toward Lin Yi, issuing a voice mixed with both male and female tones that made one's hair stand on end.
"Senior, journey well."
Lin Yi looked up, the corners of his mouth curling into a slight smile.
The curved blade in Demon Charm's hands emitted a bone-chilling light, and Lin Yi sensed a sharpness in the air. Such damage should probably reach the Black Level, right?
Demon Charm charged up her power, and the moon blade sliced through the air. A metallic hum accompanied by the sound of clashing armor whistled down, a cold light aiming straight for Lin Yi's head.
The force was so great that the spectator stands trembled.
"Clang——"
But the next moment, the moon blade above Lin Yi's head suddenly cracked.
"Crack, crack——"
Demon Charm's androgynous voice was filled with disbelief, "This... how is this possible?!"
"My blade, it actually shattered?!"
Not only Demon Charm was shocked, but the onlookers in the stands were left dumbfounded as well.
No, they weren't seeing things wrong...
Struck on the head by a Soul Fusion Skill from Shrek Academy's Golden Generation and yet the blade was the one that cracked?
This situation was so preposterous that it was as if preposterousness had knocked on the door, and preposterousness had come home!
The curved blade shattered and vanished, and the armor on Demon Charm also began to fracture and disappear, reverting back to Evil Moon and Hulena.
The two stepped back, their faces pale and hands clutching their chests as they breathed heavily.
The charged attack had drained a significant amount of their soul power, and yet it hadn't caused any damage. For the first time, the siblings doubted the effectiveness of their Soul Fusion Skill.
Lin Yi looked at his system panel.
[Blood Loss: 41328]
[Remaining Health: 999999928345]
[Damage Grade: Purple]
[Random Reward: +1000 spiritual power]
[Host Reward: +10000 spiritual power]
This left Lin Yi a bit dumbfounded.
Fuck, the damage didn't even reach Black Level?!
It was still a bit short.
Lin Yi didn't really want to break it to the siblings…
But they should be able to tell by looking at the color of the reward's light.
"Unfortunately, while the damage has indeed increased, it is still at the Purple-level. It's just a small step away from reaching Black Level. Keep pushing."
Upon hearing this, Hulena and Evil Moon deflated and simultaneously sat down on the ground.
They had just expended so much soul power, and yet they hadn't achieved the next Damage Level?!
Lin Yi tried to console them,
"However, the reward is still quite substantial. This time it's an increase of a thousand in spiritual power."
"Effort equals reward. Even if it's the same Purple Damage Level, there is a difference in the quality of rewards."
Lin Yi said, and his words immediately reignited the siblings' confidence.
"Give the reward to her."
Evil Moon quickly pointed at Hulena.
Lin Yi nodded and sent a purple-glowing orb toward Hulena, which merged into her body.
"How does it feel, sister?" Evil Moon asked.
Hulena meditated for a moment and when she opened her eyes, her captivating pupils suddenly shone with a pink light, and her whole demeanor changed.
This left Evil Moon, her brother, stunned for a moment, and his mind briefly became muddled.
"... The Charm Effect of my Charm Skill has actually doubled from its original strength!"
Hulena exclaimed incredulously, covering her mouth.
Lin Yi nodded affirmatively, "Your Charm Skill is essentially a form of mental control. With an increase in spiritual power, the Charm Effect naturally rises with the tide."
Scratching his head, Evil Moon remarked, "No wonder I suddenly thought my sister looked even prettier..."
Oh? Is that so?
Lin Yi's expression shifted, Let me have a look.
