"Sorry, it was my fault."
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone instantly looked up, directing their gazes toward the direction of the stands in the front.
They were stunned.
Then, the scene fell into silence.
So, the phenomenon that spread across the entire continent yesterday was actually related to Senior Lin Yi?!
Thousand Waves was also somewhat surprised; in his memory, although Lin Yi was powerful, he had a reserved and steady character and shouldn't have caused such a big commotion.
He tentatively asked, "Senior, may I know what caused this? If you have any difficulties, we are all willing to help you!"
His words represented the thoughts of everyone present, and over a thousand gazes suddenly converged on Lin Yi's figure.
Had he encountered some trouble? The expression on Gu Yuena's face also turned worried.
To cause such a huge disturbance, the trouble must be significant.
However, Lin Yi's expression at the moment was filled with an air of nonchalance, as if he was recounting something extremely trivial.
"It's nothing serious, a Little War God from outside the Douluo plane wanted to offer his powers to me, but his aura was too strong. As soon as he appeared, it caused instability in the foundation of the Douluo plane, which of course I could not allow, so I temporarily sealed him away."
What?
Thousand Waves was flabbergasted after hearing this.
Holy shit, what astonishing information had he just heard!
Everyone exchanged incredulous looks, unable to believe that this was the actual reason behind last night's event.
It sounded so simple... bullshit!
"Little War God," "aura too powerful," "caused instability in the foundation of the Douluo plane," "so he was sealed."
It was hard to imagine that Senior Lin Yi could speak these astonishing words so calmly…
But on second thought, it was also true; a person whose mere presence could destabilize the foundation of the Soul Land plane had actively wanted to offer his abilities to Senior Lin Yi, yet Lin Yi, displeased, had sealed this person away.
This indicated that Senior Lin Yi's position and strength were at a level beyond imagination.
At the very least, he undoubtedly possessed the power to collapse the Douluo plane.
As for his true identity… could it possibly be above all the gods of the various planes?
No one could remain calm anymore; who exactly had they been dealing with these past few days?
It was downright chilling.
Even Gu Yuena was visibly shaken, and Lin Yi gave her the impression that he did not bother to lie, so what he said was definitely true.
Was he really the same Golden Dragon King from her memory?
It was clear he was not anymore.
"Now that it's over, let's not discuss it further. I just felt that the commotion was indeed a bit much, so I wanted to give an explanation. Let's not spread it too widely."
Lin Yi spoke with an indifferent expression.
Actually, what he meant, of course, was for them to spread it as widely as they could!
How could they miss such an opportunity to become known throughout the continent?
Lin Yi wanted to laugh; in fact, every word he said was true, but when combined together, it was entirely different from the reality. This was the effect he wanted.
The desired effect had indeed been achieved; now it was time to move on to the main topic of the day.
"Begin the attack."
At Lin Yi's command, everyone's gaze simultaneously shifted toward Bi Bidong.
She had always been the first to attack.
Gu Yuena originally wanted to question why Bi Bidong was chosen to go first when she and Bi Ji of the Emperor Heaven had arrived earlier.
But then she remembered the special nature of Lin Yi's identity and the fact that he had indirectly saved Soul Land last night, she found herself unable to speak.
The crowd watched as Bi Bidong stepped onto the stage.
"Senior, I don't deserve your reward."
Bi Bidong came before Lin Yi, her face hesitant as she bowed.
"Stop the nonsense. Attack if you're supposed to attack. Ensuring the smooth conduct of the new Soul Master competition is your repayment to me," Lin Yi said coldly.
"Yes!"
Bi Bidong stepped back, and the Rakshasa Scythe she held in her hand emanated waves of a chilling aura.
She obediently followed Lin Yi's words, holding the Devil's Sickle in her hand for no more than an incense stick of time each day, usually only taking it out when attacking.
The last attack was with the Hao Tian Hammer, and this time she temporarily switched back to the Death Spider Emperor.
"Martial Soul, true body."
"Sixth soul skill!"
Clad in a spider-web dress, Bi Bidong charged at Lin Yi with the Devil's Sickle in hand, while behind her, a sky-full of blood-red spider thorns shot through the air, creating a dazzling backdrop that resembled purple-red meteors.
"Bang!"
The Devil's Sickle struck first, followed closely by the Blood-Sucking Spider's Thorn.
The dense attack landed on Lin Yi, making a series of fierce but futile sounds.
After the attack ended, Bi Bidong furrowed her brows and exchanged glances with Lin Yi. she didn't dispel her Martial Soul True Body but instead took a step back and released her Fourth Soul Skill!
"Thorn Spider Armor!"
Bi Bidong also remembered what Di Tian had instructed previously, so she defended while her Devil's Sickle didn't hesitate to strike at the Damage Rebound.
As the Damage Rebound dissipated, she remained unharmed, and her Thorn Spider Armor did not shatter.
Bi Bidong stood up, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
Her transformed spider-web dress dissipated like the tide, returning to her original attire.
[HP Loss: 346784]
[Remaining HP: 899962091467]
[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]
[Random reward: Daily regular sign-in red packet*1 (permanent)]
[Host reward: Daily advanced sign-in red packet*1 (permanent)]
For new rewards, see annotations.
Bi Bidong quietly waited, if her prediction was correct, the damage should be thirty thousand higher than last time.
She was somewhat envious of the Gold Rank rewards and thus considered accelerating progress temporarily.
"Damage 346784, red intermediate damage."
Bi Bidong raised her eyebrows slightly, surprisingly it was over forty thousand damage higher than last time...
"The reward is a daily regular sign-in red packet, which is a permanent reward."
Lin Yi continued to explain, "The sign-in spot is with me, and you can sign in once a day, which is equivalent to an extra third prize each day."
"However, by 'regular red packet', it means the rewards are limited to the ones within the range from White Level to Black Advanced Level."
Bi Bidong suddenly understood.
She realized that although the red packet wouldn't draw rewards of Red Level or higher, it could exist permanently, allowing her to receive one more reward than others every day!
This was definitely worth it!
"Thank you, Senior!"
Bi Bidong said happily.
The others showed envious expressions; wasn't this effectively like having an additional chance to attack? Oh no, they didn't even need to attack, just freeloading rewards directly!
"You can sign in now."
Lin Yi reminded.
Bi Bidong reacted, laughing happily, "Alright, I want to sign in."
The System Space had a dedicated interface for Bi Bidong's draw.
The result was White Level.
Lin Yi lifted the White Level prize in his hand, consoling her, "Although there's an additional chance, it still depends on luck."
Bi Bidong wasn't disappointed; this was already additional income. She immediately stepped forward and pocketed the five hundred golden soul coins.
"Your second attack, please."
"Okay!"
Bi Bidong stepped back and stretched out her right hand, her whole body's aura suddenly becoming more substantial.
A dusky hammer gleaming with purple light appeared in the palm of her right hand—the Hao Tian Hammer.
Bi Bidong once again extended her left hand, and the Rakshasa Scythe reappeared.
This time it was a cooperation between the Rakshasa Scythe and the Hao Tian Hammer.
Bi Bidong shook her right wrist lightly, the handle of the Hao Tian Hammer extended, and the hammer's head grew larger.
The tall and slender woman stood in the center of the stands, with weapons in both hands looking huge, exaggerated, and ferocious, forming a stark contrast with her physique.
