"Screw that!"
Hulena scolded sharply.
Lin Yi gulped down his saliva, and well, he did think that Hulena had gotten even prettier.
That moist little mouth, those affectionate eyes... Wait, hold on!
Damn it, the cursed Charm Effect!
How could a man seeking death possibly be attracted to a woman?
Just bear with it for now, until I've depleted the Shield's health to zero, unlocked the Divine Body, and attained Ultimate Power, then all of Soul Land will be mine to roam freely!
By then, we can talk about the true nature of a man.
"Senior, how do you think I look now? Is the external change a bit noticeable?"
Hulena looked at Lin Yi rather restrainedly, asking cautiously.
She didn't dare to speculate about the extent of Lin Yi's strength, but she was sure that his abilities were incredibly broad.
Being able to increase a person's flame temperature meant that his mastery over fire Attributes was absolutely top-notch!
Being able to increase a person's Soul Power level indicated that he had truly blazed a trail in the study of Martial Souls!
Being able to enhance someone's spiritual power showed that his own spiritual power had certainly reached its pinnacle!
If such a strong person could give her even a few tips, it would be a huge gain!
So while on the surface Hulena seemed to be asking Lin Yi whether she had changed, what she really wanted to know was, how could she take her Charm Effect to the next level?
"You?"
Lin Yi glanced at her indifferently and then chuckled lightly.
"There's a long way to go..."
Upon hearing this, both siblings were stunned.
Evil Moon spoke with some awkwardness, "Senior, do you mean that my sister's Charm Effect has not increased significantly?"
He was secretly shocked. As expected of a major player, even I, her brother, felt she radiated a stronger allure than before, yet the senior doesn't feel anything!
Lin Yi disdainfully said, "There's no need to be complacent over such minor changes. Your sister still has a long way to go on the path of Charm."
"As long as you deal enough damage, the spiritual power reward just now is merely a fraction of what I can offer..."
Upon hearing this, the siblings instantly stood up in shock.
They were startled by Lin Yi's determination to seek death and by the breadth of his abilities.
Who exactly is he, and what has he been through, to approach death with such "generosity"?
"I... I must report back to my teacher," Hulena murmured to herself.
Compared to making a scene with the Soul Masters, the presence of this senior was certainly more worthy of Martial Soul Hall's attention.
Hulena was starting to believe that this senior's appearance was a rare opportunity for the entire Soul Land!
"May I have the honor of knowing your esteemed name, senior?"
"I'm Lin Yi, just a simple seeker of death," Lin Yi said lightly.
Evil Moon twitched the corners of his mouth... Simple seeker of death, what a jest from the senior.
At that moment, Hulena tugged at his sleeve, and Evil Moon caught on, quickly following his sister to leave the stands.
"The existence of this senior is no small matter; we must report this to the teacher without delay."
Evil Moon then said, "I'm actually more curious... What kind of damage would His Holiness the Pope manage to inflict on the senior?"
At that, Hulena stopped in her tracks and smiled at her brother.
"You're thinking what I'm thinking. I was curious about the same thing just now!"
"Naturally! Our combined Soul Fusion Skill couldn't even harm that senior, so now it looks like we might have to call upon a Titled Douluo."
"I actually think that even an average Titled Douluo might not be enough."
Hulena agreed wholeheartedly, "So I feel it has to be the teacher who steps in, and... maybe the teacher can gain from the senior what she has always desired."
"What would that be?"
Evil Moon looked at Hulena curiously.
"I won't tell you!"
Watching the siblings head toward Martial Soul Hall, Lin Yi too began to feel expectant.
Indeed, most of the experts in Soul City were in Martial Soul Hall!
Hurry back and spread the word for me!
...
Martial Soul Hall.
Evil Moon and Hulena, who were just about to enter Pontiff Hall, suddenly slowed their steps because they happened to overhear Yan arguing with someone with great emotion about something.
"Teacher, you have to believe me, it was because of that senior's guidance, I attacked him, and that's why the temperature of my flames increased, and my control over the flames improved as well!"
"Nonsense!"
The voice countering him was full of vigor.
Evil Moon and Hulena entered Pontiff Hall and, looking up, saw Bi Bidong sitting wearily on the throne, pinching the bridge of her nose.
Below her, an Elder was having a heated conversation with Yan.
Just like Hulena having Bi Bidong as a teacher, Yan also had a teacher, an Elder of Martial Soul Hall, Douluo Yan Ying.
This was a Titled Douluo who was very confident and skilled in controlling the Rock Attribute.
Upon seeing the two siblings return, Yan rushed over like he saw a savior, and quickly urged them to speak to the Pope and his own mentor about whether what he had just said was true or not.
The siblings nodded solemnly in unison, taking his words seriously.
At this moment, Bi Bidong turned her attention to Hulena.
She didn't believe Yan but trusted Hulena as the girl never easily lied in her presence.
"You little brat, release your first soul skill at me, let me see if the temperature of your flames really increased. I really don't believe it. How can there be such a person on the continent?"
"What's the difference between this and a god?"
Douluo Yan Ying frowned, seeing his excellent disciple blindly praising a young kid, which made him somewhat disappointed.
Yan did as instructed without hesitation.
"First Soul Power, Hell Magma Surge!"
When Yan released the mixture of fire and rock—the Magma—Douluo Yan Ying's expression began to change.
Yan was his direct disciple, and how could he not be familiar with the disciple's abilities?
This Hell Magma Surge was indeed different from before...
Previously, Yan's Rock Attribute was more dominant than the Fire Attribute, so the lava he released tended to look darker.
But now, the Magma had clearly turned red.
As for the temperature, he couldn't be sure without touching it, but what was certain was that Yan's control over fire elements had definitely become more precise.
The Magma hardly had any impurities, and the flow was smoother, evidence of improved control.
But Douluo Yan Ying still refused to believe it.
He extended his sword finger and reached out, touching the tip to the Magma released by Yan.
For someone who was a master of fire, Douluo Yan Ying didn't care about the temperature.
But at the moment of contact, his expression changed again—the temperature coming from the Magma was clear and objective—
It really had become hotter than before!
"You little rascal, you didn't create some kind of amplifying soul skill, did you?! And then use it to deceive me!"
Douluo Yan Ying stared sternly at Yan.
Yan wanted to cry but had no tears, "I really didn't, teacher!"
"Eh? That's strange, how is this possible? How was this achieved?"
Douluo Yan Ying waved away Yan's Magma and couldn't help but stroke his chin, muttering to himself.
"Could it be that the person you've mentioned is incomparable in his mastery over the Fire Attribute?"
Douluo Yan Ying stared intently at Yan.
The latter opened his eyes wide, nodding seriously, "I think it's possible!"
"You little rascal, don't be too quick to conclude. Take me to see him then we'll talk."
