But what made Tang Chen even more desperate was that Poseissi refused to even give him a proper look from start to finish.
Even if she really detested him, could she not even be bothered to show a look of disgust?
Am I so insignificant in your eyes?
Tang Chen's spirits had utterly plummeted.
Previously, during the assessment by the Asura God, he had been cheated by the Rakshasa God. Now, even though he had regained consciousness, his body was already running on fumes.
He wanted to go to Sea God's Island to exchange a few words with that person, but he couldn't muster the courage.
He never expected that Poseissi would actually come to Soul City and develop a relationship with Thousand Waves!
Tang Chen, already with not much time left, now felt utterly dispirited. A resigned smile appeared on his face.
"Well then, my life was already at its end, and now I have nothing left to linger for. Today, I might as well see beforehand whether my refuge will be heaven or hell!"
After saying this, Tang Chen concentrated Soul Power in the palm of his hand, preparing to strike his own forehead.
"Hold on!"
At this moment, Thousand Waves called out with a serious expression.
Tang Chen looked at him with a low mood, "What is it? If you're trying to stop me, don't bother."
Without a word, Thousand Waves simply kissed the rubber surface of the lifelike doll's face right in front of Tang Chen.
He said with a cheap smile:
"Still, I think you shouldn't die so monotonously. Brother, I'll add a little something extra for you."
Everyone watched the scene in confusion; the Great Priest was usually so stable and proper, yet today he made this unexpected and surprising gesture.
"Crack!"
It was as if the sound of a heart breaking.
Fury burned within Tang Chen, his heart bleeding! He approached Thousand Waves, hammer in hand, "Thousand! If I'm going to die, I'll make sure you go down with me!"
Just as Tang Chen was about to swing his hammer, Thousand Waves, satisfied, lifted the arm of the lifelike doll, lifting the sleeve to reveal.
Goodness, he'd never felt so exhilarated in his life!
He had finally retrieved that breath he lost decades ago! Although it wasn't the real thing, it didn't detract from the thrill!
Tang Chen stopped his actions, staring wide-eyed at the metallic gleam on the arm of the lifelike doll...
This wasn't a human arm, this was a metal arm!
"Stupefied, huh? This isn't Xi Xi, it's just a doll," Thousand Waves mocked as he spoke.
After finishing his explanation, he lifted the doll's hair to show Tang Chen the silicone edges on her face and the metal connections at the back.
However, Tang Chen shook his head in extreme shock:
"Impossible! Her soul skills can't lie! No one knows her soul skills better than I do!"
"Xi Xi's entire range of soul skills has indeed been transferred intact to the doll. All this has been the work of Senior Lin Yi's magical powers," said Thousand Waves.
As Thousand Waves mentioned this, the smile on his face turned into one of reverence.
"Senior Lin Yi?"
Tang Chen looked bewildered at Lin Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the platform.
This made him start to believe, because Lin Yi indeed gave him an extraordinary feeling.
However, he had imagined Lin Yi would have some outrageous abilities, but he never thought they could be this preposterous!
To recreate the abilities of a Ultimate Douluo like Poseissi in a doll was unheard of!
"If you still don't believe it, let me ask you, do you recognize her?"
Thousand Waves then pointed at Bi Bidong.
Tang Chen nodded earnestly, "She emerged victorious through the trials in Slaughter City, earning the title of Killing God."
"If I remember correctly, she later became the Pope of the Spirit Hall, a peerless genius with both the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor as her Martial Souls."
"What if I tell you that she now has acquired a third Martial Soul?"
Tang Chen frowned and immediately objected, "How is that possible? Are there people on Soul Land with a triplet martial soul? Acquired later in life? Impossible!"
"Your Holiness, why not release your third Martial Soul for him to see?"
Thousand Waves looked back at Bi Bidong.
Bi Bidong originally did not plan on showing her third Martial Soul to Tang Chen because she knew that after showing it off, Tang Chen would definitely have the nerve to insist on staying with Lin Yi.
Bi Bidong didn't want to share Lin Yi with anyone else, be they man or woman; sharing him just once would make her uncomfortable each time.
But then she thought about the fact that the other party was Tang Hao's grandfather. If she were to release the Spirit Halo Hammer as her third Martial Soul, wouldn't it be tantamount to publicly slapping the face of the Hao Tian Clan?
That thought instantly piqued Bi Bidong's interest.
"Speaking of which, my third Martial Soul has some connection with Senior Tang Chen."
Bi Bidong said with a smile.
"Could it be related to Slaughter City?"
A big question mark hung over Tang Chen's head, but when Bi Bidong released her Martial Soul, his jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock!
The dark hammer body flickered with purple light, spinning in the palm of Bi Bidong's hand.
She gripped with her fair fingers, and instantly the hammer expanded several times in size, with nine pitch-black Soul Rings revolving around its long handle.
Tang Chen's eyes widened.
This was the Hao Tian Hammer!
How could she possibly possess the Hao Tian Hammer?!
And moreover, this was her third Martial Soul?!
He had only stayed in Slaughter City for a while. What on earth had happened to the outside world?
At this very moment, Tang Chen even released his own Hao Tian Hammer for comparison with the one in Bi Bidong's hand, to make sure he was not seeing things.
Although the aura emanating from Bi Bidong had already told him, it was definitely the Hao Tian Hammer without a doubt…
In just such a short period today, his heart had been on a roller coaster, soaring and plummeting. Tang Chen clutched his chest, unable to process everything before him.
He still managed to squeeze out through gritted teeth, "How did you obtain it? Please tell me..."
"Senior Lin Yi gave it to me, including the nine Soul Rings of the Hao Tian Hammer that are over fifty thousand years old," Bi Bidong stated frankly.
Giving away Martial Souls, giving away Soul Rings... Listening to such outrageous statements, Tang Chen felt his worldview crumbling.
But the undeniable facts right in front of him forced him to believe.
Tang Chen started to look at the young man sitting on the platform with extreme seriousness and suddenly said,
"I begin to understand why you just said that you could give me an opportunity I would struggle to obtain in my lifetime..."
Lin Yi chuckled inwardly.
This must be one of the perks of nurturing a group of devoted Shield Breaker fans.
No need for him to waste words on promotion; these loyal fans would naturally share their experiences until others believed such tall tales to be true.
Tang Chen retracted his Martial Soul and approached Lin Yi with an excited look.
He bowed respectfully and said, "I might have only three days left to live, but I want to live well. Can you help me?"
"As long as you can inflict sufficient damage on me, I can offer you a reward of equal value. I'm not only talking about giving you a healthy body, but even if you want a body that never ages, I can make it happen, provided that your damage is worth it," Lin Yi explained calmly.
Hearing this, Tang Chen became so excited that he was beside himself. What he needed most at this moment, as his life's light was dimming, was hope!
To him, Lin Yi was like a beacon, illuminating not just him but the path ahead!
"Tang Chen… expresses his thanks!"
"Hey, human, enough with the thanks already, move aside, we still need to damage-test," interrupted a voice.
At that moment, Tang Chen turned around and realized there were three other beings present with auras completely different from a Soul Master's. Among them, the silver-haired beauty had the most distinct and powerful presence.
Damage-testing, huh?
It couldn't have come at a better time; he was exactly curious to see what the entire process would be like.
With only three days left, Tang Chen resolved to obtain the reward that could ensure his survival in these three days!
