The crimson flames flickered within the ice petals, where two completely opposing elements now combined in harmony.
The flames soon calmed down, condensing into a tiny Fire Pistil that twisted into a bundle as Gu Yuena's slender white hands crossed over in front of her.
"Whoosh—"
Another hand of hers also produced an identical Ice Lotus blossom.
The Ice Lotus, embodying both worlds of fire and ice, gently spun in the palm, then drifted out, floating towards the direction of Lin Yi.
A seemingly casual Skill, using just two elements.
Lin Yi knew that Gu Yuena had not given her all, for she could indeed launch an attack by fusing all seven elements together.
Such an attack would definitely be Gu Yuena's most formidable strike!
Although he did not know why she did not exert her full power, just the two drifting Ice Lotus Fire Pistils already made Lin Yi sense a difference.
The seemingly tranquil Ice Lotuses were actually made entirely of the purest elements, and the energy they contained was definitely explosive!
"Whoosh—"
The two Ice Lotuses left a trail of white icy traces in mid-air, spinning as they descended in front of Lin Yi.
They collided, the ice petals shattered, and the two elements, ice and fire, fused like gasoline and a spark, exploding rapidly from a point!
"Boom—"
Everyone below the stage widened their eyes in horror, turning and shielding their faces with their palms.
As the energy from the elemental explosion gradually dissipated, everyone turned back with a chill running down their spines.
White mist swirled around the platform, hot as blazes, causing some Soul Masters near the stage to helplessly retreat with flushed faces.
As the mist cleared, a surprising scene unfolded.
Lin Yi was standing up!
This was the first time in history that Lin Yi had stood up after an attack had concluded.
He stood there, somewhat helplessly looking at the silver-haired woman opposite him, while holding a completely deformed cushion in his hand.
Lin Yi was unscathed... but the cushion under his buttocks had exploded.
At this moment, Gu Yuena giggled behind her hand, as if she had deliberately staged this to tease Lin Yi.
Seeing Lin Yi's helpless expression, she truly couldn't contain her delight.
Lin Yi's face was icy as he carelessly tossed the ruined cushion aside, then sat down cross-legged on the stage.
Bi Bidong, seeing this, immediately turned around and tenderly instructed, "Prepare another cushion for our senior."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lin Yi took a deep breath, raised his head to look at Gu Yuena, "Weren't you going to teach me a lesson? Why not use your full strength?"
Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think I can't tell that the harder I try, the happier you'll be? You're so annoying, so why should I make you happy?"
Lin Yi: "..."
After hearing her words, he was speechless... Damn, how could there be such a petty person in Soul Land?!
Er, no, such a petty dragon.
Lin Yi frowned and said coldly, "Expect the reward quality to drop then, silly dragon."
"Oh, that's none of your business."
Gu Yuena rolled her eyes again.
She was confident she could inflict even higher Damage Levels, even surpassing one million was not a problem in her eyes.
But what would happen when Damage Level surpassing one million was inflicted?
Gu Yuena did not dare to guarantee, nor did anyone else at the scene, because such a Damage Level had never been seen before.
Maybe Lin Yi would die from it.
If he died, he himself would probably be very happy, after all, it seemed like he had been sitting there since the beginning seeking death.
But no one at the site had the intention of letting him die.
Gu Yuena had been bluffing all along, and she was the one person among all the spectators who least wanted Lin Yi to die.
Although he didn't know what had happened to Lin Yi, Lin Yi must absolutely live on, and if necessary, Gu Yuena would even take on the task of protecting him.
[Blood Loss: 601435]
[Remaining Health: 899964314764]
[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]
[Random Reward: Continental Soul Power Reset Privilege (including soul beasts) *1 hour]
[Host Reward: Continental Soul Power Reset Privilege (including soul beasts) *30 days]
The reward caused a subtle change in Lin Yi's expression.
He hurriedly checked the System's notes and after reading them, Lin Yi was shocked.
It could only be said that it was a good thing that this was a time-limited reward.
He turned his gaze to Gu Yuena, "Damage 601435, Golden Junior, your reward is the privilege of resetting Soul Power across the entire continent, with a one-hour time limit."
"600 thousand in damage?"
Gu Yuena tilted her head, her beautiful silver hair falling to one side as she muttered, "If the combination of two elements is 600 thousand, then three... four..."
"Adding more elements will indeed increase damage, but it won't be a multiplicative increase, and your 600 thousand includes most of the base damage."
Hearing Lin Yi's cold analysis, Gu Yuena glared at him.
"Hey, what does the reward mean? I don't understand what you're talking about!"
If you don't understand, why are you yelling? Didn't your father teach you manners?
Lin Yi looked at her with a cold expression, "After receiving the reward, you will have the power to reduce the Soul Power of all Soul Masters and soul beasts within the entire continent to zero, and maintain it for an hour, starting and stopping at any time."
"But it doesn't include me, nor you, the caster."
Hearing this reward, everyone was incredibly shocked.
An effect that covered the entire continent!
To reduce the Soul Power of every Soul Master, even soul beasts, to zero in an instant!
Having Soul Power reduced to zero, how is that different from becoming meat on the chopping board?
Is this the reward for 600 thousand damage at Golden Junior Level?
It's too damn terrifying...
What shook Lin Yi about this reward was the fear that he could not gauge Gu Yuena's temperament; if she were to use this power and start a massacre, Soul Land would become a sea of corpses and blood.
In the span of one hour, she could kill everyone on Soul Land.
Truth be told, holding this Golden Light Sphere in his hands, Lin Yi didn't even dare to give it to Gu Yuena.
Would she be a bloodthirsty and fierce person?
Forget it, with me here, I should be able to keep her in check.
With that thought, Lin Yi flicked the light sphere towards Gu Yuena, and it merged into her body.
The expression on Gu Yuena's face was also one of unparalleled excitement.
But the first thing she said next took Lin Yi by surprise.
Gu Yuena turned around and said to Bi Ji and Di Tian with glee, "With this ability, when used in the Soul Master competition, they will all become weaklings, and only we will be able to deal damage!"
Lin Yi: ?
Everyone: ?
Is something not quite right with this dragon's thought process?
With this power, you're not thinking of conquering the continent, but your first thought is winning the Soul Master competition?
Wait, you three soul beasts also wish to compete?
Gu Yuena turned around, her gaze scrutinizing Lin Yi, "I'm going to test this ability now to see if it's real."
"As you wish."
Gu Yuena pressed her hands together, and a beautiful, law-infused melody emanated from her mouth,
"Soul Power, reset!"
