Miss Ning looked down at her fingers, a hint of red light emanated from her palm, and she turned a small patch of air in front of her into an extremely spicy flavor.
Then she fanned this spicy air toward Chen Xin's nose, which instantly made Chen Xin sneeze repeatedly.
"Hahaha!"
"Sect Master, stop it!"
Lin Yi watched this scene coldly, "Are you guys still going to attack?"
"Attack, we'll attack!"
Miss Ning immediately stood up straight, as if she wasn't the one who had just been up to mischief.
"Seven treasures reveal the lustrous glaze, Si commands!"
"Seven Kills True Body!"
The voices of the two women rang out one after the other, Miss Ning and Chen Xin quickly distanced themselves, their bodies surrounded by a ring of yellow amplification halos.
Elsewhere, the sharp Seven Kills Sword reappeared in the sky, its fierce wind tearing through the platform like a barrage of knives.
Miss Ning then raised her hand, "Seven treasures are famed, first comes strength, third comes soul!"
Two different-colored amplification halos landed on the almost ethereal sword, and Chen Xin's deep voice echoed from the sky.
"Second Soul Skill, Spiritual Sword Guard."
Above the ethereal sword, the figure of Sword Spirit Gan Jiang appeared, lending sharpness to the blade, and two crossing streams of blue light flickered momentarily, making the Seven Kills Sword appear even more solid.
The tip of the sword quickly changed direction, as though Chen Xin was holding the hilt, but in reality, she had merged completely with the sharp Seven Kills Sword through the use of the Martial Soul True Body.
Therefore, Martial Soul True Body is akin to another term for Man and Sword as One.
The snow-white blade began to tremble, energy seeping out strand by strand. Suddenly, it let out a screech, darting toward Lin Yi at a swift pace, striking him with an angle different from that of the first soul skill.
"Clang!"
The same result as before, the sword was repelled, with Chen Xin's figure closely following it.
Miss Ning saw the rebounding damage approaching and wondered if her spicy technique could shatter it. But then she thought better of it, realizing that this pure energy-formed Damage Rebound certainly couldn't have a taste... So she had to give up and let Chen Xin handle it.
A single strike split into two!
Lin Yi glanced at the panel.
[Health loss: 513674]
[Remaining health: 899886686934]
[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]
[Random reward: Pore Seal Technique]
[Host reward: Pore Filling + Seal Technique]
What bizarre rewards these are... Lin Yi curled the corners of his mouth. Pore Seal Technique? A reward so obscure, he couldn't even begin to guess its actual capability.
Lin Yi decisively examined the annotation.
After reading, he was greatly shaken. The angle of this reward was getting more and more tricky. Could a person have come up with this? Ah, indeed not, it was devised by the System, and the System isn't human.
Lin Yi didn't know what to say, except that the rewards were increasingly resembling the bizarre and weird abilities from those Cthulhu novels he had read before.
He cleared his throat quietly and said to Miss Ning, "Damage 513674, Golden Junior level, your reward is an ability called Pore Seal Technique."
Looking at the two big question marks in his counterpart's eyes, Lin Yi continued his explanation, "The meaning of sealing is that you can instantaneously seal any pore, preventing it from exposing any gaps."
"Like this, for example."
After finishing his statement, Lin Yi made an OK gesture with his fingers. He pointed at the "O" within the gesture and said, "This is a pore, and your ability is to seal this pore with a material of the same type. For me, it means that the hole formed by my fingers would be sealed by a layer of my own flesh, leaving no gaps exposed. Do you understand?"
Miss Ning slightly frowned, "I kind of understand, but it's still a bit abstract..."
Lin Yi knew he needed to provide another example.
Actually, this reward would be very suitable for use on Blue Planet and it seems that it would only show its Gold Rank value there.
He first merged the ability to himself, his "Pore Filling + Seal Technique."
Then he said to Bi Bidong, "Take out your Bullet, hold it up, and aim the muzzle at everyone."
The latter complied immediately as instructed.
The people below the stage saw the dark muzzle of the Bullet and instinctively shuddered at the thought of the damage inflicted by attacks launched from this black orifice.
At this moment, Lin Yi snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, everyone below the stage stared with a startled, odd expression at the Bullet.
Bi Bidong noticed the crowd's reaction, turned the Bullet around, and to her astonishment, discovered that the muzzle of the Bullet had become solid! There were no more holes!
Lin Yi explained, "This is the Pore Seal Technique."
Miss Ning immediately nodded, signifying that she understood… but she couldn't help but criticize that Lin Yi's previous description with his fingers was truly quite abstract.
Actually, this was for the sake of precision. If he were not precise, Lin Yi could have simply said that this ability is to block all pores.
But 'blocking' could be ambiguous. Sealing is just encapsulating the pore with a superficial layer.
Whereas blocking could mean filling something into it, not just sealing the surface, but packing the whole cavity tightly.
This brings us to Lin Yi's host's critical hit reward: Pore Filling + Seal Technique.
He could not only seal the surface of a pore but could also fill and block the entire cavity.
The reason why Lin Yi believed Miss Ning's reward was more suited for Blue Planet is that many of the hot weapons on Blue Planet attack through "pores."
All kinds of gun muzzles, cannon openings… and so on.
Lin Yi then said to Miss Ning, "However, there is a limit to how many pores you can seal at the same time. The total surface area of the pores you can seal should not exceed ten square meters."
"You can freely choose which pores to seal to avoid unnecessary area wastage."
Lin Yi explained in great detail, but Miss Ning was still at a loss.
After all, this was her first Gold Rank reward, but it sounded rather useless to her.
What use was this ability? From the demonstration, it seemed only applicable to weapons like the Bullet or some of the hidden weapons previously mentioned, rendering them unable to attack.
What she wanted was offensive power, or at the very least, it would be good as a crowd control skill, but Miss Ning did not understand how this ability could be used as a crowd control skill.
She quickly voiced her confusion to Lin Yi.
In response, Lin Yi could only offer a slight smile.
He wondered whether Sect Master Ning had truly become innocent after turning into a loli, or if the people of Soul Land were all so naive.
Lin Yi hinted, "Haven't you thought of the pores that naturally exist on a person's body? Vital pores, not like the negligible ones formed by bending my fingers."
"As long as it's a pore, no matter how small, you can seal it. In other words, you can seal anything with a surface area less than ten square meters."
Miss Ning's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this!
She immediately followed with her analysis, "Humans have nostrils, which I can seal, and then they won't be able to breathe. Even if they open their mouths, those opened mouths will also be considered holes and can likewise be sealed."
After finishing, she turned excitedly to Chen Xin and asked, "Uncle Jian, what other vital openings are there on the human body? Sealing which can lead to control or even become a form of indirect attack... Uncle Jian, apart from nostrils, mouth, and ear holes, what else is there?"
Facing Sect Master's innocent yet foolishly adorable big eyes, Chen Xin felt embarrassed to speak and scratched his head.
The Sect Master really is... after becoming a little girl, she's still so oblivious to these things.
He hesitated and mumbled, "Everyone has... on their backside..."
Miss Ning was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh with embarrassment.
Of course, there were others, but Chen Xin dared not say them aloud; he even knew the Sect Master now had one more than him... cough cough.
Listening to the dialogue on stage, the people below all had strange expressions, most of the men covered their mouths and snickered in tacit understanding, while many of the women blushed shyly, as if not wanting to continue the topic any further.
For example, in the Aquipeia Forest side, under the pressure from Gu Yuena, Di Tian didn't even dare to think about it in his heart.
Lin Yi went on to say, "As you just mentioned, using breath control is indeed a good way to evolve it into offensive or control abilities. However, controlling breathing doesn't mean your opponent will immediately die, as the breath-holding time of a powerful opponent could exceed your expectations. So be careful; they can still strike back at you while holding their breath."
Miss Ning listened to Lin Yi's instruction and nodded solemnly, "Got it, I'll remember that."
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly thought of his Pore Filling Technique.
Whether the filler was long or short, whether it fit the cavity or not, whether it was wide or narrow, was entirely under his control... Hehe, he suddenly thought of an evil idea, cough cough, just thinking about it was fine; it wouldn't be good to say it out loud.
After Miss Ning finished her attack, only Chen Xin was left to act for the Tiandou side.
Lin Yi vaguely remembered that he was the last to attack yesterday.
After bowing simply to Lin Yi again, Chen Xin began to release his skill.
His attack mode this time coincidentally matched the mode he used just now when assisting the Sect Master in her attack.
Both were Martial Soul True Body + Second Soul Skill.
But the Sect Master had already stepped into the Gold Level Damage Grade, while Chen Xin was still striving to reach the Red Intermediate level.
He began releasing his Seven Kills Sword Martial Spirit; a sharp aura spread out around his body, layer upon layer, like invisible ripples, but in reality, it was Chen Xin's increasingly adept sword aura.
"Martial Soul True Body!"
He shouted lowly, and his body became illusory and transparent while the Seven Kills Sword Martial Spirit floated autonomously in mid-air, accumulating energy. The blade grew step by step, and the sharp sword aura was like the blizzards created by Emperor Xueye.
Their commonality was, standing within them felt like the air had turned into blades.
Chen Xin roared again, "Second Soul Skill, Spiritual Sword Guard!"
The phantasm of the Seven Kills True Body became more substantial, and after two intersecting blue shadows flashed, the entire blade suddenly swiveled in direction, pointing its sharp tip towards where Lin Yi was.
Once more, that sensation appeared on the field; the huge Seven Kills Sword, now magnified, was held by an equally enlarged Chen Xin in the attacking stance.
But in reality, it was a Man and Sword as One state, with Chen Xin controlling the Martial Soul within the sword.
As the sound of the sword reached its peak, the sharp aura surrounding him seemed to pause for a moment, then—it was on the verge of erupting!
The gargantuan Seven Kills Sword, like an arrow shot forth, its sharp blade tearing through space, descended upon Lin Yi, creating a gong-like humming sound.
The scene of the attack under the Martial Soul True Body had occurred three times, and each time the result was Chen Xin's real body being rebounded by the shockwave aftermath.
He held the sword hilt tightly, standing by for action.
The fluctuations around Lin Yi quickly converged, forming a mass that grew boundlessly.
A golden storm gathered upon him, thriving upwards, and in the next moment, as if targeting precisely, the Damage Rebound let out a "roar" and swooped down towards Chen Xin with both hands on his sword.
This time without the Sect Master's assistance, Chen Xin directly used the Lone Swordsman's Sword-Breaking Style. The white sword tip traced a nimble and graceful arc in midair; he flicked his wrist, and the sword tip rapidly straightened, exuding a fierce aura. The Sword Breaking Style burst forth, focusing on one point to shatter the Damage Rebound in an instant.
Chen Xin sheathed his sword, with the falling fragments of the Damage Rebound behind him. These energy fragments had already dissipated all their power at the moment of shattering.
Lin Yi looked at his panel.
[Health Loss: 309673]
[Remaining Health: 899886386798]
[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]
[Random Reward: Pen of Fortune]
[Host Reward: Pen of Fortune (no backlash)]
That reward...
Forget it, let's just read the notes.
Lin Yi stared at the notes for a good while before lifting his gaze again.
He said, "Damage 309673, Red Intermediate, your reward is the Pen of Fortune."
Upon hearing this reward, Chen Xin first turned to look at Emperor Xueye; he remembered the Ma Liang's Brush that Emperor Xueye had obtained previously.
That brush could materialize anything drawn with it, provided the owner had a certain level of drawing skill.
But this one... judging by the name, wouldn't it be that only someone with good luck could use it?
Chen Xin's face fell immediately; he felt incredibly unlucky.
Lin Yi: "The Pen of Fortune is just a pen with an endless supply of ink. As long as you write something with it, reality will naturally unfold in the direction you've written, usually in the form of coincidences that wouldn't normally occur."
"However, be mindful that what you write needs to be somewhat coherent, natural, well-reasoned, and logical to potentially turn into a real occurrence."
Seeing Chen Xin looking utterly confused, Lin Yi continued to explain:
"For example, if you write, 'Today, the Sect Master fell in love with me.'"
As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Chen Xin suddenly tensed up in his breathing, while Miss Ning's face turned bright red instantly, her hands covering her cheeks.
"...I said, I'm giving an example, don't get excited," Lin Yi said with a forced smile, continuing, "Something like that definitely won't occur because it lacks buildup and logic. You'd need to add context, like writing it this way."
"Today, on a whim, the Sect Master styled her hair beautifully. I was the only one to compliment her; therefore, she felt warm inside, pondering my words all day long. She paid a lot of attention to me and gradually fell for me."
Lin Yi said this with a faint smile: "Like this, a logical story like the one I've described will unfold in reality and come true."
