Thousand Waves, standing on the stage, noticed Lin Yi's gaze resting on Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue, so he said with a smile:
"Senior, they've actually known each other for quite a while. Don't be fooled by their apparent discord; behind the scenes, their relationship is quite good, just like sisters."
"Impossible!"
Thousand Waves had barely finished speaking when a sudden chorus of objections from Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue came from behind.
This made his old face stiffen instantly.
They were mother and daughter to begin with, and you say they're as close as sisters; does that make their relationship better or more distant... Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and said expressionlessly:
"I'm not interested in that."
Despite saying that, Lin Yi was actually extremely curious inside.
He really wanted to know what exactly happened between the mother and daughter last night, causing today's atmospherically charged friction to be unprecedentedly intense, and with Qian Renxue dressing up as a woman for the very first time.
That's right, I can divine!
Let's try divining now.
Lin Yi looked at the people in front of him and silently cast a spell in his heart.
"Time, stand still."
At that moment, an invisible power of law swept across the crowd, the continent, and even through the planes.
Everything around him ceased; the buzzing of flies stopped mid-flight, the flow of water halted mid-air, and Thousand Waves's face was still caught in that awkward expression.
Even the six gods who came to observe Lin Yi from within another space were frozen.
Glancing around, Lin Yi thought for a bit and decided to use Dreamland Divination.
This type of divination could display specific scenes.
He closed his eyes, thought about the question he wanted to ask in his mind, and then entered the dream state.
But the next moment, Lin Yi was baffled.
He hadn't seen Martial Soul Hall, Qian Renxue, Bi Bidong, or anything else related appear.
He found himself in the midst of a golden ocean!
Surrounding him was a sea of tender golden wild chrysanthemums, swaying gently in the breeze, bringing waves of fresh chrysanthemum fragrance through the air.
But then, in the next instant, all of those chrysanthemums around him suddenly turned a vivid red and then burst open; a massive spread of red petals scattered high into the air, creating a scene of mournful beauty.
This inexplicably reminded Lin Yi of the sea of flowers skill that Poseissi had obtained.
What the hell?! Can't this dream divination understand human speech?
Did the direction of the divination go completely wrong?
I asked what happened last night between Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue, why are you showing me chrysanthemums?!
Lin Yi emerged from the Dreamland Divination feeling perplexed and unable to figure out the reason, could only decide to lift the time-stop for now.
Speaking of this time-stop ability, it was his first time using it, and it didn't seem to have any special use besides not being boast-worthy... Although it was an adult version of time-stop, Lin Yi was no pervert.
After lifting it, Thousand Waves nodded awkwardly on stage, "I've spoken out of turn. I'll start attacking now."
Lin Yi nodded in acknowledgment, but after waiting for a moment, he noticed that Thousand Waves was standing still, doing nothing.
"What's the matter?"
Thousand Waves said with a bitter expression, "My damage has capped... Even if other rewards could bring about damage, they would be useless against you, senior."
Damage capped?
Lin Yi glanced at the panel and recalled that Thousand Waves's most recent damage had indeed reached 710,000!
Reaching a damage output of 710,000 with a human body is absolutely an exaggerated achievement. He could even hang the damage number around his neck and parade through Soul City with his head held high, showing off to others.
Lin Yi suggested, "Please, an assistant to help; there's nothing wrong with that."
Thousand Waves nodded excitedly as if he had heard the long-awaited phrase from Lin Yi's mouth.
He coughed twice, stood tall and proud, glanced around as if to emphasize, and said,
"I, Thousand Waves, have dealt over 700,000 damage! I am the first among humans on the scene! I asked for assistance in my attack in order to reach a higher level! It's not because my damage is low!"
Lin Yi, expressionless, "Are you still babbling about something?"
"Yes, yes! I'll go find someone!"
Turning his head to glance around, Thousand Waves immediately pulled up a confused-looking Tang Chen. Ideally, Qian Renxue would have been the best option, but his granddaughter was dealing with an unknown injury, which made him uneasy.
Standing on the stage, Tang Chen bargained, "Okay, it's agreed then. This time, if you fall short, I'll help you, and next time, if I fall short, you help me."
Thousand Waves, smiling broadly, "We have such a good brotherly relationship, of course, that's the deal, right?"
"Suddenly, I remember, weren't you two the ones on the roof yesterday, clinging together in a mad bout of biting each other?"
Poseissi suddenly furrowed his brow and asked.
The atmosphere became stiff for a moment.
After being silent, Thousand Waves immediately laughed and said, "Ha-ha, attack, let's attack."
Tang Chen, "Alright, alright!"
They briefly exchanged information about the damage each of their skills could do, and after discussing, they began their attack.
Instantly, the stands were alight with a mingling of gold and red glows.
"Seraph!"
"Hao Tian Hammer!"
Both Martial Souls were released by the two men respectively.
Thousand Waves wielded the Divine Angelic Holy Sword, six golden wings unfurled on his back, bathing the entire arena in a holy light. Meanwhile, his right arm gleamed, covered by the Four-Word Battle Armor, but only the forearm and handguard of the right arm appeared.
Seeing this, Sea God suddenly widened his eyes.
He hastily asked the person next to him, "Does the Great Priest of Angels still have a chance to attack today?!"
Asura God nodded, "Everyone gets two attacks each day, what's up?"
"Good! I'm going to drag that chick, the God of Angels, over here now, let her see if what I said yesterday was true or false! I want to take revenge for that slap yesterday! I want to see her cry!"
As Sea God huffed off, Life Goddess shook her head, "So petty, how will he ever have a chance with the God of Angels?"
Evil, with his wife in his embrace, snorted, "Never mind, from now on, my wife and I are just here to enjoy the show."
Kindness, huddling in Evil's arms, immediately nodded, showing a heartfelt fear of Lin Yi.
As Thousand Waves' first soul ring lit up, Tang Chen rotated his Hao Tian Hammer, with both the third and seventh soul rings sparkling simultaneously.
The two men took positions apart; one charged at Lin Yi wielding the Golden Longsword, the other became ethereal and elusive, his Hao Tian Hammer, steeped in a heavy crimson hue, frighteningly magnified with each step.
Their attacks landed on Lin Yi almost simultaneously, his body being struck on the left side by a huge hammer and on the right by a sharp golden sword qi.
Up in the stands, energy collisions were ceaseless, the surging aura of Soul Power was so intense that even regular Soul Masters standing nearby could be torn apart.
After the attack, each man retreated with his weapon, and as Lin Yi experienced Damage Rebound, they looked at each other and charged forward in perfect coordination.
...
"Damn it! Calm down!"
Just then, as the five gods focused on observing the scene below, they turned around to find Sea God charging their way, followed by a golden woman who was chasing him.
