The Dragon Spirit mingled with the power of seven elements, clung to Di Tian's right claw as he raised his right hand high, causing the sky to tremble.
With a resounding dragon's roar, the sky darkened, making the momentarily emerging shadow of the Dragon God stunningly brilliant and profoundly majestic.
Those with dragon blood once again felt the sensation of tightness in their chest and shortness of breath; they forcefully resisted the impulse to bow their heads in submission, gazing intently at Di Tian on the stage.
"Boom!"
The Dragon God Claw descended, five rainbow-colored claw marks struck Lin Yi's body, and the resulting energy waves spread around, jolting Di Tian himself backward for three consecutive steps, while Lin Yi stood immovable as if welded to the spot.
Di Tian steadied himself, his robust right claw once again brimming with resplendent light; he fixed his gaze, silently waiting for the release of the golden light from Lin Yi's body, and seizing the right moment, the sky darkened again—Di Tian leapt up, unleashing another sweep of the Dragon God Claw!
"Boom!"
Another heavy strike, and the Damage Rebound shattered in response.
Having landed, the black scales covering Di Tian's body receded like the tide, and without his scales, he reverted to a burly man, but now with much less of his former sternness and ferocity.
Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Blood Loss: 806798]
[Remaining Health: 899857016478]
[Damage Grade: Gold (Intermediate)]
[Random Reward: Soul Master Template *1 set]
[Host Reward: Soul Master Template *3 sets]
Considering the name of the reward, this should be a reward specifically for soul beasts, Lin Yi assessed internally, since it wouldn't make sense to give an additional Soul Master Template to someone who was already a Soul Master.
Lin Yi glanced at the comments, his brows gradually knitting together.
This reward requires an astounding nine rounds of on-the-spot random draws?!
He said to Di Tian, "Damage 806798, Gold Intermediate. Your reward is one set of Soul Master Template."
"This is a reward given specifically to those without a Martial Soul, allowing you to gain a Martial Soul and also comes with nine soul rings... Actually, this reward should have appeared in the Red Level prize pool, but appearing at the Gold Intermediate level with damage reaching eight hundred thousand, signifies it's definitely something different."
"Firstly, the Martial Soul can be chosen freely, but it must not surpass the level of a God. Secondly, the base duration of each soul ring will be set according to your own tolerance level, followed by nine draws for the duration of each soul ring, with each draw falling within the range above this base duration."
Having said this, Lin Yi did not wait for Di Tian to digest the information and immediately asked, "First, choose a Martial Soul."
Di Tian was momentarily stunned.
He remembered that Lin Yi had just mentioned that the Martial Soul should not exceed the God level, so then...
"Then let it be the Golden-eyed Black Dragon... no, would Golden-eyed Black Dragon King be okay? The meanings behind these two titles are different. Also, I have a question: as a ferocious beast, if I were to gain a Martial Soul of the same species, wouldn't there be a conflict between the two forms?"
Lin Yi shook his head. "The Martial Soul is just a superficial form; it doesn't affect your identity as the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King. The essence of this reward is to grant you nine soul rings, which is to give you nine skills with substantial damage. Of course, the types of skills depend on the Martial Soul you choose... Besides, Golden-eyed Black Dragon King can be your Martial Soul."
Di Tian's heart leaped with joy, heh, just straight up say that it'll give me nine more skills!
Why does it feel like everyone's luck today is really strong?
No matter which camp, the rewards they were getting are pretty impressive; could it be that Senior Lin Yi is in a particularly good mood today?
Lin Yi was looking at the panel in front of him, now determining what the base duration of soul rings Di Tian could handle was.
Indeed... the panel showed that Di Tian could accept soul rings of over two hundred thousand years for his first soul ring!
As expected of Soul Beast God Di Tian.
Lin Yi decided not to reveal the base ages of each Soul Ring to Di Tian, planning to directly inform Di Tian of the upcoming draw results.
The general setting for Soul Rings dictates that the number of years for each specific Soul Ring cannot exceed a certain limit. However, in this case, the Soul Ring draw is set with a base number of years, and how much extra could be anyone's guess—entirely dependent on luck! The height doesn't matter; as long as luck is on your side!
This is the confidence that comes with a Gold Intermediate reward, with a Damage Level of eight hundred thousand.
Lin Yi, watching the panel with the draw results, said, "The first soul ring's age, 260,000 years."
Upon saying this, a Red Level Soul Ring suddenly began to rise around Di Tian's body.
"The first soul ring is 260,000 years old?! Are you kidding me?!"
"What's so surprising about that? The physical quality of ferocious beasts is incomparable to that of humans, not to mention Di Tian is no ordinary ferocious beast."
…
Di Tian, looking at the Soul Ring above his body, felt rather odd.
He never imagined that, as a ferocious beast, he would one day obtain a Soul Ring, and moreover, one befitting a beast of his caliber. Although he didn't acquire it through the hunting of soul beasts, the situation felt strange, yet acceptable.
"The second Soul Ring, 280,000 years."
"The third Soul Ring, 400,000 years."
"The fourth Soul Ring, 450,000 years."
"The fifth Soul Ring, 550,000 years."
"The sixth Soul Ring, 630,000 years."
"The seventh Soul Ring, 700,000 years."
"The eighth Soul Ring, 830,000 years."
"The ninth Soul Ring, 1 million years."
Lin Yi paused noticeably when he mentioned the final Soul Ring.
It wasn't because the last Soul Ring was a million years old, but because he saw a small line of prompt text appearing at the bottom of the panel.
At this moment, Soul Rings from the first to the ninth on Di Tian's body appeared like a gradient transitioning from red to gold, looking incredibly spectacular. In his Soul Master form, his aura seemed even stronger than his original ferocious beast form.
There was a reason for this.
Lin Yi read the prompt text on the panel and said to Di Tian, "The seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body, has been modified. Since you are already the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, it would be redundant for your Martial Soul True Body to also be the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King. Therefore, the modification is that your Martial Soul True Body becomes the Dragon God True Body."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian stumbled backward in shock, taking several steps back.
Dragon God... Dragon God True Body!
He had never imagined that he would one day come into contact with the Dragon God in the form of a Martial Soul True Body!
Lin Yi: "However, don't get too excited too soon. The Dragon God True Body doesn't grant you the strength of the Dragon God; it only purifies your own bloodline for a moment, allowing you to acquire the vast majority of the Dragon Spirit. But I can assure you, under the Dragon God True Body, you will definitely be stronger than the original ferocious beast, the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King."
Di Tian, excitedly clasping his fists, said, "I understand!"
He immediately knelt down, looking at Lin Yi with tears in his eyes, thinking that this wasn't just the Golden Dragon Lord; this was truly the Dragon God Lord!
Giving the essence of the Dragon God as if it were nothing, and even allowing it to exist in the form of a human's Martial Soul True Body, was incredibly badass!
PS. Just finished an exam today, only slept for three or four hours last night and feeling a bit dizzy. There will be only one chapter today, please forgive me...
