"How dare you reject me? I was the one who blocked the Damage Rebound for you!"
Gu Yuena was utterly puzzled. Why wasn't this human following the script, repaying the favor after she had helped him? Despicable humans.
Bi Bidong's mask fell away from her face, and she let out a cold sneer towards Gu Yuena before turning away dismissively.
"How could this human be like this? Truly shameless!"
Gu Yuena was livid, but she couldn't lash out. All she could do was complain to Di Tian.
"The Lord is right, humans are despicable. Let's not bother with them anymore."
"Hmph, not gonna bother anymore."
...
Bi Bidong couldn't be bothered with the naive ferocious beast behind her either. She quietly awaited Lin Yi's result.
[Blood loss: 381,764]
[Remaining health: 899,950,019,784]
[Damage Grade: Red (High-Level)]
[Random Reward: Puppet Spider Silk*500 units]
[Host Reward: Puppet Spider Silk*1000 units]
Lin Yi glanced at the System's notes, grasped the effects and the usage method, and then said to Bi Bidong:
"Damage 381,764, Damage Level Red Advanced, your reward is Puppet Spider Silk."
381,764 in damage.
This number silently circulated through the minds of Tang Chen and everyone at the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
They had witnessed the process of attacking and looting treasures the day before, so they had a rough idea of the damage figures.
Tang Chen couldn't help feeling that his damage limit was probably around four hundred thousand. Jing Hongchen's expression was rather ugly—he suddenly felt it would be very difficult for someone from the Royal Academy to deal that kind of damage.
The scene left Zi Ji in a complete fog, observing everything that was unfolding before her.
"Puppet Spider Silk?"
Bi Bidong scratched her cheek with her armor-clad index finger, a gesture of confusion.
She didn't remove her armor because it might still be needed for the second attack.
Lin Yi flicked the red orb of light towards Bi Bidong, and after a moment's thought, he stood up and walked over to her.
This reward allowed him to see the shadows of Demon Slayer and Spider Man, yet it was different. It was a bit complex to explain, so it would be better to guide her by hand.
As Lin Yi approached, Bi Bidong took two uncertain steps back, suddenly at a loss.
Senior Lin Yi is personally instructing?
Gu Yuena frowned, feeling even more displeased with Bi Bidong all of a sudden.
"Jing Hongchen, lend me five hundred students. Don't worry, it's harmless."
Lin Yi said, and after receiving a nod from Jing Hongchen, he turned to Bi Bidong: "Stand next to me and remove the Possession state of your armor."
"Oh."
Bi Bidong came to Lin Yi's side with a blank expression and her Two-Word Battle Armor receded like the tide before hiding within her body.
Now in her high heels, the tall and imposing Pope almost matched the height of the youthful Lin Yi. She smelled lovely and looked bashful, mainly because she was a bit flustered by the honor.
As Lin Yi raised his right hand toward the students of the Royal Academy, a "whoosh" sound was heard, and five hundred fine, transparent threads of silk shot out from his fingers instantaneously.
The silk was invisible to others, seen only by Bi Bidong who stood very close to Lin Yi. She was extremely surprised.
Each of Lin Yi's fingers controlled a hundred Puppet Spider Silks, with the other ends burrowing into the back of the students' necks.
"Puppet Spider Silk ignores levels. Even an Ultimate Douluo under your control will obey your commands after being struck. The ability is too powerful, so I've deprived you of the right to comprehend it directly. However, I can teach you for free."
"Thank you, Senior!"
Bi Bidong said with a smile, while sneaking a glance at Lin Yi.
"You need to be clear which group each of your fingers is controlling."
At this, Lin Yi wiggled his thumb, and in the next moment, a perfectly aligned group of one hundred students from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy knelt down ceremoniously, bowing their heads in reverence.
Lin Yi flicked his index finger again.
Suddenly, a hundred students began to laugh uncontrollably.
Lin Yi flicked his middle finger, and another hundred immediately burst into loud, sobbing tears.
With a flick of his ring finger, a hundred people hurriedly released their Martial Souls, all wearing serious expressions, ready to attack.
He flicked his little finger, and another hundred paired up and began ballroom dancing publicly.
Jing Hongchen was stunned.
Everyone who was watching was dumbfounded as well.
At first, they hadn't seen the existence of the puppet spider silk and thought Lin Yi was just bluffing; where was the spider silk? They hadn't seen any!
But now, the scene before them was a slap in their faces.
These five hundred students had actually become puppets, each carrying out actions according to Lin Yi's will!
"Your turn."
Lin Yi said to Bi Bidong.
He shook his five fingers and with a "whoosh," the five hundred strands of Puppet Spider Silk were withdrawn.
In fact, Lin Yi's two hands, all ten fingers could shoot spider silk, after all his control limit was a thousand people.
"I don't know how..."
Bi Bidong said with a slight blush.
Lin Yi glanced at her, tenderly grasped her right hand, and said in a cold and detached tone, "Lift the palm up, curl your fingers, and lock your gaze on the group of people you want to control."
Is this really something she doesn't know?! Clearly, she is trying to create a chance to make contact with Senior Lin Yi!
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at Bi Bidong.
"Is there a need to teach again? Such a simple action, I could learn it with just one look!"
Gu Yuena said with dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue looked over in surprise, not expecting someone to be even less patient than her.
"If it's not your reward, then shut your mouth. Are you only capable of being sour because you can't have it?"
Bi Bidong sneered mockingly at Gu Yuena with a pun.
It meant both that Gu Yuena was unlucky not to receive this reward, and that she couldn't get Lin Yi's... touch.
"My Lord! My Lord! Don't be rash! That human is despicable! She's deliberately provoking your anger! It'd be bad if the Golden Dragon Lord took away your chance to attack at that time!"
Di Tian hastily stopped Gu Yuena, who was about to rush onto the stage.
I'm so angry I could explode!!!
Lin Yi ignored everything that was happening around him.
He stared at Bi Bidong's fair fingers and continued, "One finger controls a hundred people, while controlling them you need to provide command thoughts, this ability is strong, but also quite limited, it can be easily interrupted before control begins, thus both control and thought input must be quick... are you listening?"
Lin Yi found that Bi Bidong was just staring at their hands clasped together, grinning foolishly.
"Ah?! Listening! I've got it!"
With a "whoosh," five hundred strands of spider silk "bound" the five hundred people from the Royal Academy in an instant. These people had just been confused about what was happening and now they were controlled again.
Bi Bidong learned quite fast; she curiously used each finger to control the corresponding group to follow her thoughts, a skill that made others green with envy.
"Senior, I've learned it!"
Bi Bidong turned happily, only to find Lin Yi had left at some point and was now sitting back in his original seat.
She paused for a second, then quickly went forward to express her thanks, "Thank you, senior, for bestowing such a generous gift!"
If she could master it, she could covertly take control of some of the enemy's Senior Soul Masters. Not only would this turn the tables against them, but it could also change the tide of battle!
"No need for thanks, the second round of offense."
Lin Yi watched her with a calm expression.
ps. Thank you for the continued support.
