So his name is Grey Taro? The name suggests quite a dashing and handsome appearance, and the teasing in his tone also adds an effortless charm to this guy.
Lin Yi: "..."
No wonder the voice sounded so familiar; it's truly an attack of childhood memories.
As soon as he heard the first wish, he knew who it was.
Quickly, a figure gradually emerged on the stands amidst a flash of light.
Chen Xin's face transitioned from excitement and anticipation to silence and expressionlessness.
This was an entity with a yellow hat, a grey body, a scar on its face, standing only half a metre tall, with thin arms and legs, and a style that starkly contrasted with the surroundings... Chen Xin couldn't even determine what creature it was, so for the time being, he called it a thing.
Chen Xin spoke in a low voice, "You're Grey Wolf?"
The audience was shocked.
This was nothing like what they'd imagined! The uncle's voice... it came from such a small thing?
Grey Wolf looked around curiously and, upon hearing Chen Xin's voice, suddenly laughed, "Right! That's me! So you're the Desire Messenger, pah, Wish Messenger! But why do you all look so strange?"
Grey Wolf ran a few circles around the stands flailing his arms, then came to Chen Xin and questioned, "Wish Messenger, where is this? Is this where wishes are fulfilled?"
Chen Xin looked down expressionlessly at the other party.
He said quietly, "Grey Wolf, throw a punch at me, with all your strength—let me see."
Grey Wolf stroked his chin while examining Chen Xin, "Wish Messenger, you're so strange. If I punch you, you might die~"
Chen Xin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and his face finally showed some liveliness.
I might die? That's great!
Could it be that looks can be deceiving?
Chen Xin said, "Just punch."
Grey Wolf backed up a few steps, miming boxing gestures and steps, then approached Chen Xin and threw a punch with his thin arm at Chen Xin's body!
"Crack!"
Grey Wolf immediately screamed, his arm broken!
And at a ninety-degree angle no less!
Black lines were clearly visible on Chen Xin's face.
What?
So those earlier words were just bluster...
Chen Xin finally ran out of patience. He walked over with a dark expression, lifted Grey Wolf entirely, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, but you should just go back where you came from. I don't need you anymore."
"What?! Wish Messenger?! Didn't you promise to fulfill my three wishes? I want to eat mutton!"
Chen Xin froze.
So the residents of Sheep Village... are actually sheep?!
He thought it was some kind of code for a secret tribe!
He couldn't stand it any longer!
Chen Xin, with a grim face, said, "Go back!"
Grey Wolf, spinning in midair, shouted, "I'll be back!"
After saying this, Grey Wolf landed in a vortex and left the Douluo plane.
Chen Xin suddenly felt so weary at heart.
Could it be that because the reward level was too low, the villains he drew were all subpar?
It seemed he would have to rely on himself for the attack.
The Bow Without String would likely be of no use now; he had already used the heaviest non-living body, a mountain, and Gu Rong, a living entity, but there were other, more powerful living entities that wouldn't cooperate, since they weren't on the same side.
No choice then but to use his Martial Soul again.
But the upper limit of his original Martial Soul wasn't high anymore. Could it be that he really had to use that ability?
Thinking of this, Chen Xin silently turned to look at the Sect Master.
The ability he wanted to use was the other reward he received yesterday, Darkening Mode.
Darkening Mode could bring the most direct damage, which was somewhat better than Li Bai's Poetry Collection, as Chen Xin had only figured out two skills from the collection, and there had been no new progress.
However, because of yesterday's Darkening Mode, Chen Xin had become cold and merciless, even injuring the Sect Master, which was why the Sect Master had ignored everyone yesterday and locked himself in his room alone.
Forget it, he would only use Darkening Mode during the attack. Thinking of how he had insisted on maintaining the Darkening Mode to look cool after returning to the inn yesterday, Chen Xin felt like digging out a three-room apartment with his toes.
He said to Lin Yi, "Senior, I'm going to start my first attack for today."
"Mhm."
With the response, a sword intent burst forth from Chen Xin, so sharp that it pierced the air and violently ravaged the platform.
His white hair now had large swaths of black growing out, until it finally turned into black hair mixed with a few strands of white. Strange black patterns, like ancient curses, emerged on his clothes, awing and intimidating those who saw.
Seeing Chen Xin's transformed appearance, Ning Lolita frowned slightly from below the stage.
Chen Xin looked at Lin Yi and directly used his sixth soul skill, Myriad Swords Return to Origin. Yesterday, his Myriad Swords Return to Origin combined with Ning Lolita's first soul skill had inflicted over five hundred thousand damage, so Chen Xin was confident that a Myriad Swords Return to Origin under the Darkening Mode could completely exceed the previous damage.
He summoned his Martial Soul. The once snow-white Seven Kills Sword had now turned pitch black. The next moment, the Seven Kills Sword morphed into countless blades, suspended in mid-air.
Chen Xin raised his sword finger and pointed forward, and a storm of shadows shot toward Lin Yi. The "whoosh" of cleaving air pierced everyone's eardrums as countless sharp sword tips landed on Lin Yi's body like the fangs of evil spirits.
Sitting on the platform, Lin Yi magnetically drew all the darkened Seven Kills Swords to himself, but not a single one could penetrate his body.
As the attack ended, Chen Xin lowered his sword finger, and all the darkened Seven Kills Swords seemed to obey his command, shooting upwards, then reversing direction towards the Damage Rebound.
Afterwards, Chen Xin immediately deactivated Darkening Mode. The so-called coolness of men really didn't add any attractiveness. He saw through it; it was all just self-indulgence.
Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Blood loss: 456786]
[Remaining Health: 883044635469]
[Damage Level: Red (High Grade)]
[Random Reward: Non-Living Entity Basic Attribute Value Panel (Free Add/Subtract)]
[Host Reward: Non-Living Entity Basic Attribute Value Panel (Upper Limit *2)]
It sounded like a reward that had appeared before.
Honestly, Lin Yi felt increasingly that most of the rewards in the System pool were like a transmigrator's golden finger.
He opened the description of this reward to take a look.
A moment later, Lin Yi said to Chen Xin, "You inflicted 456789 damage, Red Advanced level. Your reward is a Non-Living Entity Basic Attribute Value Panel, where the values can be freely adjusted."
Just hearing the name Chen Xin probably wouldn't understand, so after finishing, Lin Yi flicked the reward light sphere directly to him.
Lin Yi: "This reward is similar to the All Things Upgrade Panel that Snow Emperor obtained before. After integrating this reward, you should be able to open a panel. However, you must choose a non-living entity in advance for the corresponding content to display."
