Tang Chen walked toward the stage, his red hair resembling that of a porcupine, exceptionally flashy—or, to put it another way, piercing to the eyes.
Although this hairstyle was somewhat hard to look at, it had to be said that it seemed to instantly make him look decades younger, after all, killing Matt is a trademark of the youth.
The reason for Tang Chen's change in hairstyle was due to the first reward he received yesterday.
He first received a "current luck value bonus" reward after completing a task at the Hao Tian Clan, then hit the ninth trial of the Asura God in the lottery, and after defeating the Asura God with absolute luck, he obtained five percent of the Asura Divine Power.
Not only his hairstyle changed after gaining divine power, but also his martial soul.
Tang Chen stood on stage, a dark red shadow slowly spreading from his body and gradually enlarging behind him.
It was actually the shadow of the Asura God.
The Asura God's shadow briefly appeared before slowly dissipating, and Tang Chen stretched out his right hand, his palm tingling with crackling red lightning.
"Boom!"
His Hao Tian Hammer martial soul appeared, but the body of the hammer was covered in dark red thorns, looking as piercing as his hairstyle.
Tang Chen said with a deep voice, "One person will be enough, just one."
Thousand Waves, very cooperatively, grabbed the Dragon Lance Douluo next to him and threw him up onto the stage.
"Ah—"
The Dragon Lance Douluo flew onto the stage, stumbled to steady himself, and swallowed nervously.
Tang Chen raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this 199999? Sorry, I've forgotten your title."
The Dragon Lance Douluo began at the peak, receiving an Evolution Crystal that allowed his martial soul to evolve from a snake lance into a dragon lance, but since then his luck plummeted, never again receiving a valuable reward, currently stuck at the black intermediate level (downgraded) reward he got at 199999.
Rumors about him at the Lottery Shield event have long persisted, claiming his damage numbers are more stable than the women's periods at the event, making him the focal point after Thousand Waves wins the guess-the-damage reward.
Guessing others might fail, but guessing Dragon Lance is a sure shot.
It seemed that the Dragon Lance Douluo only felt confident to hold his head high when asked about his title, "Replying to the Eighth Servant, I am Dragon Lance!"
His gaze was firm, for that title was his pride.
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Alright, 199999, I remember you have a rather fragile mental endurance, just close your eyes when I attack later on."
Dragon Lance: "… Okay."
Even if Tang Chen didn't say so, he had planned to do exactly that, for while he wouldn't be injured, being hit by a Haotian True Body was certainly comparable to a nightmare.
The seventh soul ring and the first soul ring on Tang Chen's body flashed in succession, his body beginning to turn ethereal, while his Hao Tian Hammer grew infinitely in size. Dragon Lance stealthily peeked through a slit in his eyes, suddenly seeing everything bathed in blood-red within his field of vision, the thorny Hao Tian Hammer towering between heaven and earth, and Tang Chen, ethereal in form with blood-red eyes and a ferocious expression, akin to the arrival of a Hell Messenger.
Upon seeing this scene, Dragon Lance immediately shut his eyes tight.
"Boom!"
Tang Chen's hammer landed on Dragon Lance's chest, the massive red thorns not piercing through. However, the energy overflow from behind Dragon Lance was even more aggressive than before, as if mirroring the thorny spikes on the hammer's body.
"Bang!"
Lin Yi received the force of the attack.
The damage data swiftly generated, Tang Chen's body solidified for a moment, and the red thorns on the Hao Tian Hammer quickly absorbed the surrounding energy fluctuations, another ability obtained after his martial soul mutated.
As a burst of golden light flared up on Lin Yi, Tang Chen once again brought down his hammer onto Dragon Lance.
The Damage Rebound shattered, Dragon Lance spitting blood.
Tang Chen was taken aback.
Dragon Lance turned a pale face to him, thumbs-up, smiling with a mouthful of blood, "Worthy of the Eighth Servant, such powerful damage!"
After finishing his words, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Tang Chen exclaimed, "Hey! Is this guy alright?"
The Porcupine Douluo carrying the Dragon Lance shook his head with a smile, "It's all right, they just fainted from fright!"
During a pause as Lin Yi was observing panel data, the crowd below suddenly became agitated, and some were even clamoring about trending number one on hot search.
Lin Yi glanced up at them and started checking the trending search list on Weibo.
Trending number one: Live streamer Orange announces the sale of a half-eaten grapefruit by Lin Yi, setting an outrageous price!
What... the heck?
Lin Yi clicked on the top trending search to see the post made by Orange.
"Live streamer Orange": Babies, in the upcoming live stream, I'll put the half-eaten grapefruit with clear teeth marks left by Senior Lin Yi in the product section. You can keep it until the Soul Master competition's qualifying rounds for on-site teeth mark verification, full refund if not satisfied, the tentative price is set at 100,000 golden soul coins, take it or leave it!
Lin Yi: "..."
Lin Yi remembered now, after Orange's attack ended yesterday, she indeed brought over a grapefruit for him to try, and not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm, he took a light bite.
He thought that the remainder would be thrown away...
But Orange actually put it up for sale!
Her move was so freaking incredible?!
However, she didn't violate the rules about disclosing the scenes of Soul City; she was merely selling a product, only adding a gimmick to it.
But would anyone really buy it?
Lin Yi was genuinely curious now.
Checking out the comments below the post, holy crap, 1.08 million comments!
No wonder it hit the top of the hot search list!
The comment section was indeed insane.
"Princess Xue Ke": Lin Yi is my husband! No one else better snatch it from me!!! I'm warning you all!! (420,000 likes)
"Rice Eater": 100,000 golden soul coins... The Lady Lins in the comments really have money, and looking at the profile pictures, they're all pretty. Ha, I can hardly keep up with the follows (300,000 likes)
"Love at First Lin": Girls, I'm begging, I really need this piece of grapefruit, no man has ever made me love so desperately! (290,000 likes)
"Here for Lin": I like Lin Yi, but I don't have money, what should I do! (Crying) (250,000 likes)
...
Chen Xin glanced at Emperor Xueye beside her and couldn't resist saying, "I never thought Her Highness would be that crazy."
Orange stared intently at the top trending search, murmuring somewhat embarrassingly, "How could I hit the top of the hot search without even buying a hot search position..."
Having finished her muttering, she sneaked a peek at Lin Yi, and seeing no displeasure on his face, she felt somewhat relieved.
Truth be told, when she made the post, she too felt quite nervous, but then again, she just wanted to live a little better in a world ten thousand years before her own.
Lin Yi continued to focus on the content on the panel.
[Damage Taken: 694,673]
[Remaining Health: 883,048,537,638]
[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]
[Random Reward: Northwest Hammer King Role-play]
[Host Reward: Northwest Hammer King Role-play (No Critical Hit)]
Lin Yi paused, the Northwest Hammer King?
He remembered this meme!
