Xue Qinghe heard the commotion and nervously closed his eyes tightly,
while Thousand Waves suddenly turned around.
Everyone present, including Ning Fengzhi and the three others who had just come to understand what the Lucky Roulette really was, stared intently at the needle.
The position where the needle fell.
It was Gold, Junior.
A surge of ecstatic joy appeared on Thousand Waves' face.
"Gold! It's gold!!!"
Thousand Waves danced and gesticulated excitedly in the stands.
The onlookers did not find Thousand Waves' passionate display surprising; instead, they felt an infinite sympathy surge within them.
After all the trouble to inflict a Red Level damage, to receive a reward, and even having the chance to win a jackpot pool!
And then, damn it, a White Level comes out...
Anyone would collapse, right!
Seeing the needle point to Gold this time, it was natural for Thousand Waves to be so excited.
Hearing the disturbance, Xue Qinghe quickly stood up and turned around.
Looking at where the needle had stopped, his eyes suddenly shone with an immensely strong radiance!
"Gold! It's gold! Aah!!!"
Xue Qinghe jumped in place, overtaken with excitement.
Emperor Xueye also felt very happy at the scene.
He had heard that Gold required over 500,000 points of damage—this was a huge profit!
He approached to celebrate with Xue Qinghe, but just as he reached him, Xue Qinghe suddenly rushed to the stands and excitedly embraced Thousand Waves...
Emperor Xueye: "???"
The two on the stands hugged and jumped like long-lost friends, their joy and excitement clearly overflowing, continuously shouting "Gold!"
This was a reward Thousand Waves had helped win, so it seemed normal for Xue Qinghe to go thank him... Emperor Xueye could only comfort himself this way.
But what was strange: why was Thousand Waves showing such happiness?
Acting.
That's what Emperor Xueye quickly concluded in his mind.
Lately Martial Soul Hall must have been plotting something, so putting on a friendly facade with the empire made too much sense!
After so many years manipulating power, how could I not see through it?
...
After celebrating with Thousand Waves, Xue Qinghe immediately came to Lin Yi, brimming with excitement.
"Senior, what is my Gold Level reward?!" he asked, filled with anticipation.
Lin Yi felt a bit jealous; he couldn't get the same reward through the Lucky Roulette, not to mention a critical hit.
But fortunately, he also had The Big Wheel, and not just one but five.
He'd try his luck at drawing prizes with Bossi tonight.
Lin Yi lifted the dazzling Golden Light Sphere in his hand towards Xue Qinghe and said:
"You are the first person to receive a Gold Level reward from me, congratulations."
"Hahahaha——"
Xue Qinghe laughed joyously.
And suddenly, he realized that the Golden Light Sphere was really beautiful—so brilliantly golden, so dazzling, so likable.
"So the reward is?"
"Your Gold Junior reward is a Hundred-thousand-year Complete Set of Soul Bones."
These simple words instantly put the entire venue into a huge shock.
Suddenly, the place went silent, breaths audible.
Xue Qinghe was startled, his eyes wide open.
Lin Yi casually tossed the golden sphere into the Air on one side.
The small Golden Light Sphere instantly transformed into six soul bones emanating a Red Level glow.
The soul bones floated in mid-Air, exuding a ferocious and horrific aura that ordinary soul bones couldn't compare with.
At that moment, Porcupine Douluo silently compared his ten-thousand-year Trunk Soul Bone with it.
Next to the Hundred-thousand-year Trunk Soul Bone emitting a Red Level glow, his Black Level glowing Trunk Soul Bone weakened instantly, utterly inferior by comparison!
And there were six of them all at once!
Is this what a Gold Junior reward looks like...
Shit, that's amazing!!!
"Is... is all of this really mine?"
Xue Qinghe's voice trembled as he pointed at the six floating soul bones and asked cautiously, his tone filled with disbelief.
If you don't want them, you can give me a few… Lin Yi thought to himself.
"They're all yours, take good care of them."
"Yes… Senior…"
Gulp.
Xue Qinghe swallowed hard and walked over to collect each of the soul bones into his soul tool.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose on the scene, as Soul Masters gazed longingly towards the stands, their bodies uncontrollably wanting to rush over.
No Soul Master could stay rational at the sight of soul bones.
Especially not a complete set aged a hundred thousand years!
Witnessing the unrest, Thousand Waves frowned slightly and signaled to Bi Bidong; seeing the signal, several Elders silently took up positions around the stands.
But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, cold and authoritative, its penetrating power almost able to drill into everyone's Sea of Spirit.
"In my line of sight, if anyone dares to snatch the rewards, the agitators will be killed without mercy."
Lin Yi's voice, powered by his strong spiritual power, reached everyone's minds.
In almost an instant, the venue fell silent.
Those who were agitated stood petrified on the spot, too terrified to move.
Xue Qinghe looked at Lin Yi, a smile appearing on his face; indeed, with the Senior present, there was a full sense of security.
He calmly pocketed the last soul bone and stepped down from the stands.
Seeing Xue Qinghe descend, Ning Fengzhi couldn't stay put.
Really couldn't stay put.
He was about to take Chen Xin up with him, but a young man suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Hey? Sect Master Ning, don't rush, Senior Lin Yi already said no cutting in line. You wouldn't be planning to go against the Senior's orders, would you?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo tilted his head slightly, smiling as he spoke to Ning Fengzhi.
"Who are you?"
Ning Fengzhi frowned, wondering who this young man was to speak so boldly.
"Me?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo turned around, revealing a mischievous and handsome smile: "Second Worshipper of Martial Soul Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo, that's who."
Hearing this, Chen Xin's eyes suddenly widened.
He recalled the Golden Crocodile Douluo his father had described to him and found that this young man in front of him matched in every way…
Except for the age!
The age... could it be, could this be the effect of the Life-Extending Crystal?!
"Let me have a look!"
Emperor Xueye suddenly approached with an excited expression.
He came up to the Golden Crocodile Douluo and examined him at a close distance, until Xue Ye's scrutiny made Golden Crocodile Douluo feel uneasy, and then Xue Ye excitedly turned to Chen Xin and said:
"Honestly, I want a Life-Extending Crystal!"
"Your Majesty, getting a Life-Extending Crystal isn't something you can just wish for; it requires luck. I was just extraordinarily lucky to draw it twice in a row," replied Golden Crocodile Douluo as he lazily walked onto the stage, talking to Emperor Xue Ye.
He finished speaking with a grin and launched his attack at Lin Yi.
"Sixth soul skill!"
After the attack—
...
Golden Crocodile Douluo was dumbstruck.
He stared blankly as another Life-Extension Spiritual Stone merged into his body.
His body started to shrink, a youthful look appeared on his face, and the clothes he wore became loose.
The Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had just looked like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old, changed in an instant into the appearance of an eight or nine-year-old child.
"Congratulations, you've gained another five hundred years of life," Lin Yi said with a smile.
"No... I don't want more life, I don't want it anymore! I want other rewards!" Golden Crocodile Douluo begged on his knees, his face full of sorrow, and cried out in a young boy's voice.
Emperor Xue Ye: "?"
I cried, and it's all your fault.
