Ghost Douluo's old face twitched, pretending not to hear Chrysanthemum Douluo's questioning from the side.
It's the mark of a true man to be flexible and firm!
Only a sissy would consider themselves above others and stubbornly stick to their own views.
Dare to release the first soul skill?
Did you see how this lad disdained the damage caused by your first soul skill?
With your failure as a lesson, naturally, I wouldn't foolishly release my first soul skill!
We are, after all, esteemed Elders of the Martial Soul Hall, Titled Douluo, and all these Soul Masters around us are watching with open eyes!
The damage dealt is not called damage, it's called keeping up appearances!
Ghost Douluo had no confidence that his first soul skill would inflict more damage than Chrysanthemum Douluo, so he straightforwardly released his fifth soul skill.
This death-seeking lad seems to only care about the final damage data, not bothering with which soul skill you release.
Moreover, Ghost Douluo had nearly understood that Lin Yi genuinely planned to embrace death by sitting here.
After all, who in their right mind would welcome others to attack them?
And even encourage the use of the most damaging attacks!
Good grief! Ghost Douluo had never encountered such a death-seeking fanatic before!
He finally met someone even more ghostly than himself.
However, he truly coveted the rewards falling from the sky!
Hoping at the very least to obtain a soul ring advancement reward like that dead chrysanthemum, something Soul Masters inherently couldn't change—something extremely precious.
"Fifth soul skill, Ghost Shadow Kill!"
Ghost Douluo's face was as gloomy as water, his sturdy palm reaching forward, a black vortex forming in his palm, emanating a sinister chill.
At this moment, everyone seemed to hear a ghostly wailing emanating from the vortex, the temperature around them dropping, a bone-deep coldness spreading.
Many shuddered on the spot.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was almost grinding his teeth to bits, this damned ghost, agreed upon the first soul skill, yet he released the fifth, playing dirty are we?!
Despite his dissatisfaction, he didn't interrupt Ghost Douluo's attack.
After all, Chrysanthemum Douluo wanted to see if this youth would survive the old ghost's fifth soul skill.
Secondly, he wanted to see what rewards would drop from this higher Damage Grade that the youth mentioned, apparently the Black Level?
...
At long last, the spectator stand had its grand opening...
Lin Yi slightly raised his head, his lips unconsciously revealing a tinge of greedy smile.
Like a hungry wolf eyeing a lamb.
Ghost Douluo inadvertently caught Lin Yi's gaze and couldn't help but shudder.
It was rather amusing.
Soul Masters shuddered due to his soul skill, but he shuddered due to Lin Yi's gaze.
Ghost Douluo always had this feeling that the lad was drooling over his soul skill...
Ghastly shadows burst forth from the palm of Ghost Douluo, their appearance immediately freezing the atmosphere of the scene.
A cold from the netherworld descended on everyone's hearts.
The ghost shadows were fast, their vicious faces hurling towards Lin Yi!
They gnawed and slashed at Lin Yi!
A group attack soul skill, now all its assaults were focused on Lin Yi alone.
Ghost Douluo swallowed hard, looking at Lin Yi who was enveloped by the black ghost shadows, suddenly feeling worried.
Don't really die... It was his first time focusing this group attack solely on one person!
But gradually, Ghost Douluo's expression began to change.
For the first time, he saw an unprecedented reaction on the ghost shadows:
Each ghost shadow's actions grew from wildly frenetic to slower and more sluggish, even one ghost shadow, exhausted, stuck out a black tongue and slumped down.
Soon after, the ghost shadows dissipated one by one, emitting reluctant howls.
And within them, Lin Yi gradually emerged.
Curious, Ghost Douluo stepped forward, squinting his eyes to focus.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Yi's body should be torn apart or completely devoured, but at this moment, he was sitting there unscathed...
Ghost Douluo rubbed his eyes.
Is this a joke... Are you kidding me?
Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression also turned odd, originally thinking that the fifth soul skill would surely cause some damage to the youngster.
But he... but his hair wasn't even messed up!
Lin Yi looked at the data on the panel.
[Blood Loss: 99321]
[Remaining Health: 999999784234]
[Damage Grade: Black (Primary)]
[Random Reward: Breakthrough Crystal]
[Host Reward: Breakthrough Spirit Stone]
This time, the new damage likewise triggered many new items, and Lin Yi spent a little while checking the system annotations.
Damage above the Black Level seemed to have started to be subdivided into three specific areas: Primary, Intermediate, and Senior.
Black Level damage is between fifty thousand to two hundred thousand.
Subdivided into:
Between fifty thousand to one hundred thousand is High Level Black Damage.
One hundred thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand is Black Intermediate Damage.
One hundred and fifty thousand to two hundred thousand is Black Senior Damage.
Similarly, the subsequent Red Level, Gold Level, and Multicolored Gold Level also have Primary, Intermediate, and Senior divisions.
"How... How was it? How much damage? Why aren't you saying anything, senior?"
Ghost Douluo rubbed his hands, asking in a low voice.
Somehow, waiting for the damage results made Ghost Douluo a bit nervous.
Lin Yi looked up, a faint smile showing on his face.
Seeing the smile made Ghost Douluo inexplicably breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, Lin Yi had been displaying a scowl at everyone before, with an expression that looked down on their damage.
This kid smiled at him, meaning the damage must be exceptional!
"The damage was 99321, which I've classified as Black Primary Damage. It's just over six hundred damage shy of reaching the Black Intermediate Damage."
Lin Yi explained with a slight smile, simultaneously uttering a statement that excited Ghost Douluo immensely.
"This damage has broken Chrysanthemum Douluo's record, setting a new historical high."
Ghost Douluo's eyes widened: "A... A historical high?! And it's a high made by stepping on Chrysanthemum's face?!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face darkened upon hearing this.
His fists clenched with a cracking sound.
However, the Soul Masters around them were collectively shocked.
"My god, is this the power of a Titled Douluo? Over ninety thousand damage, I can't even imagine it!"
"He's nearly hitting one hundred thousand!"
"I think this is indeed the first time I've heard of Black Level damage... Eh? What reward could it be?"
Listening to other's discussions, Ghost Douluo felt parched and immediately turned his gaze to Lin Yi.
"Senior, may I ask what my reward is?!"
Lin Yi stretched out his right hand, manifesting a black orb of light on his gesture of making a heart.
Everyone's gaze heatedly focused on this black orb of light.
The first appearance of a black orb of light!
A historic moment!
"Black Primary Reward, a Breakthrough Crystal. This is different from a Growth Crystal, which is only suitable for soul power growth up to level 68, while the Breakthrough Crystal is suitable for soul power growth up to level 93."
After Lin Yi spoke, he asked, "What level are you now?"
Ghost Douluo replied in a daze, "Exactly level 93..."
"Congratulations then, you're going to be level 94."
