"Senior Lin Yi, wait a sec, haha! Big bro just ate way too much!"
The Third Offeror squatted down off the stage and turned around to shout back.
Little Golden Crocodile was lying on his thigh at the moment, its white little butt sticking high up in the air, while the Third Offeror pinched his nose with one hand and wiped Little Golden Crocodile's butt with the tissue in the other, looking utterly disgusted.
While wiping, the Third Offeror suddenly noticed that a soldier was kneeling on the ground, frantically vomiting.
"Bleagh—"
Huh, wasn't this guy fine just a moment ago?
The Third Offeror was puzzled when Little Golden Crocodile suddenly playfully swung its legs and said with a giggle,
"Third Bro, stinky stinky yum yum~"
"Big Bro, don't move, and it's called stinky tofu!"
"Bleh—huuugh—talking!"
The soldier protested while vomiting, his face filled with grief and anger.
After wiping Little Golden Crocodile's butt clean, the Third Offeror flicked his big bro's little pecker before pulling up his pants.
The platform had been cleaned up, and Little Golden Crocodile scuttled back onto it, its adorable eyes fixed on Lin Yi, ready for a second assault.
Lin Yi noticed that the little brat's gaze towards him seemed to have transformed somehow, as if... he was looking at his own chef.
"Martial Soul True Body!"
This time, when he unleashed his Martial Soul, he seemed filled with energy.
This kid really is something else. After all, he's the first guy bold enough to take a dump in front of me… Lin Yi thought to himself, feeling the pressure.
The visage of the Golden Giant Crocodile in front of Lin Yi rapidly grew larger, giving the sensation of a mountain looming overhead.
Underneath the massive crocodile, the little guy radiated an aura somehow even more majestic than the large Golden Crocodile's shadow.
He approached Lin Yi with short but heavy steps, yelling, "Croc Assault!"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow in response—why did he have so many assault moves?
Wait, this doesn't seem like a soul skill, does it?
Lin Yi didn't see any of the Golden Crocodile's Soul Rings lighting up.
Little Golden Crocodile raised its arms high as it charged toward Lin Yi like a little superhero.
In that moment, the enormous shadow of the Golden Crocodile merged into its body, and its entire skin seemed to be gilded with a layer of pure gold, with scale-like protrusions on the surface. At the same time, Lin Yi noticed a miniaturized version of the Golden Crocodile's head floating above, although the aura emitted from its Martial Soul was no less imposing than when in its true body form.
Could this be some kind of improvised soul skill the little rascal cobbled together on its own?
Like playing a game, Little Golden Crocodile ran towards Lin Yi, and at the moment of impact, a massive wave of golden energy spread out, enlarging the crocodile's image on him for an instant, letting out a ferocious roar—as if venting its anger towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi remained unflustered.
A bloating Damage Rebound swiftly generated on him, continuously expanding and invading towards Little Golden Crocodile.
Then something bewildering happened to Lin Yi.
Little Golden Crocodile immediately spun on the spot, once again lifting its arms like a superhero as it yelled, "Croc Escape!"
It truly escaped by leaping off the edge of the platform, avoiding the Damage Rebound collision.
Lin Yi shifted his gaze, only to find Little Golden Crocodile scurrying to the other side, using both hands and feet to climb the steps back onto the stage, then once again facing Lin Yi with its charming little eyes.
At this age, he seemed oblivious to the phrase "losing face."
Lin Yi's throat moved, unsure how to comment on the scene that just unfolded.
"Big Bro's moves have left Senior Lin Yi speechless," the Third Offeror said, slightly turning to Thousand Waves.
The latter's face darkened: "When I get back, I'll teach him a lesson. This kid is paying less and less regard to the reputation of the Worship Hall, not to mention Senior Lin Yi's dignity. He needs disciplining."
The oblivious Little Golden Crocodile on the stage was full of expectation, looking at the chef in front of him—oh no, it's Lin Yi.
"Blood loss: 353,676"
"Remaining health: 899,913,473,684"
Damage Grade: Red Junior (Downgrade)
Random Reward: Random Heart's Voice Magnifying Crystal Ball (refreshes every hour)
Host Reward: Random Heart's Voice Magnifying Crystal Ball (refreshes every five minutes)
Hmm?
This reward seems quite unique, doesn't it?
Lin Yi, somewhat curious, examined the System's explanation. After a moment, he lifted his head and said to the Little Golden Crocodile, "Damage 353,676, below personal record high damage, reward downgraded to Red Junior quality. Your reward is a Random Heart's Voice Magnifying Crystal Ball."
The Little Golden Crocodile didn't understand.
And in Lin Yi's view, it might not be of much interest to it either, although the reward itself is quite an interesting thing... well, for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi lifted his right hand, and a red beam of light appeared. He opened his palm, and the light turned into a translucent pale yellow crystal ball.
The Little Golden Crocodile's eyes immediately lit up.
It wasn't interested in the reward, but the crystal ball was so pretty!
Before Lin Yi could explain the reward, it scampered up, extending its tiny hands to take the crystal ball from Lin Yi's palm.
Lin Yi: "..."
Well, let it be.
"You take this crystal ball, say a name towards it, and the ball will randomly select one of that person's heart's voices from the past thirty days, amplifying it."
"Within an hour, you can only randomly select one sentence from the same person."
Just as expected, after hearing this explanation, the Little Golden Crocodile wasn't very interested.
It wasn't curious about other people's heart's voices at all.
It was only curious about what else there was to eat and play with around Lin Yi.
However, at this moment, everyone else's gaze towards the crystal ball was somewhat mischievous, as if they were eagerly wanting to know the heart's voices of certain people.
Lin Yi was also curious. He said to the Little Golden Crocodile, "Won't you give it a try?"
"Not fun, don't want to try."
The little guy shook his head, looking at Lin Yi with a vague understanding.
"Are you doubting the truth of my words?"
Lin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone turning colder.
Hurry up and try it, I'm curious right now, and besides, this thing is useless to me, I'm not afraid of people hearing my heart's voice.
Thinking Lin Yi was angry, Thousand Waves hurriedly scolded the Little Golden Crocodile, "Stop the nonsense, hurry up and try!"
The little fellow pouted, and said to the crystal ball, "Thousand Waves!"
Thousand Waves immediately widened his eyes.
Damn! You little brat! I told you to try it out, not to call out my name first!
No, you should never have said my name! With so many people here, whose name couldn't you have called?!
Little rascal, just wait to get a spanking tonight!
After the name was said, the pale yellow crystal ball quickly glowed with a fluorescence, and then a voice belonging to Thousand Waves floated out from within.
"Xi Xi still looks so young after decades, and that butt is still so perky."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Thousand Waves stood motionless as if he had been sentenced to death, his face ashen.
At this moment, nobody dared to speak, but most eyes turned hesitantly towards Poseissi standing there.
Everyone was waiting for Poseissi's response.
Indeed, Poseissi took a deep breath, his face as dark as water and walked towards the other side.
"Hehe, Thousand Waves, you're quite far away, probably didn't see too clearly, why don't you move a bit closer and look again?"
"Xi Xi, listen to my explanation, you can't take thoughts seriously!"
