Gu Rong and Emperor Xueye who were under the stage looked at each other with surprised delight, their expressions full of excitement.
Indeed, it was a case of fortune and misfortune going hand in hand! Earlier today, their Heaven Dou Faction was disheartened due to the downgrade of rewards, but now the situation had completely turned around!
Miss Ning took a step forward happily, looking at Lin Yi and asking, "Senior, may we have a go at a mock battle here to test the damage effect?"
Lin Yi nodded, "Of course, you may. However, this will count as your third attack today, and no rewards will be generated."
"No problem, we just want to experiment with the damage effects."
After speaking, Miss Ning's smile vanished, and she looked coldly at Chen Xin: "You act as the shooter."
Chen Xin: "..."
...
On the platform, Gu Rong, taking on the role of the tank, readied his Iron Fire Dragon Martial Soul.
Chen Xin, as the shooter, had already taken out his silver-white Bow Without String.
Emperor Xueye, as the assassin, had thrown his Lightning Conduit Kite into the sky early on; the kite string was entangled around his body, ready to deal explosive damage at any moment.
Miss Ning herself, as the support, stood in the middle. She glanced at the others, then looked down from the stage, "Which of the two seniors will act as the mage?"
The Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor stood far away, and at this moment, the Ice Emperor stealthily pointed at her sister, implying that her sister Snow Emperor should join the stage.
The Snow Emperor, caressing her belly which had swelled to the size of seven or eight months of pregnancy, looked ahead and saw Miss Ning waving at her.
She touched her belly and walked onto the stage, with no intention of looking back at her sister during the process.
"The Snow Emperor will act as the mage. Later, she can release area of effect energy damage skills; that should be sufficient."
Lin Yi: "If it conforms to the standards, the chains will appear automatically. If not, no matter how you try to summon them, they won't appear."
"So that's how it is..."
Chen Xin suddenly spoke up: "The Ice Emperor needs to join the stage as well, to be my archer."
Ice Emperor: "You're the cheap... oh, archer, right."
She twitched the corner of her mouth and walked up to the stage to stand beside Chen Xin, who turned his head and found that the clothes on his side had instantly frozen stiff...
He frowned slightly: "Let's start quickly."
Miss Ning immediately raised her right hand, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her palm floated upwards, emitting a seven-colored glow.
"Once for strength, thrice for soul!"
Two amplifying rings of light landed on the row of five people... of course, the Snow Emperor didn't need to act as an archer, so she kept her distance from the other four people. No help for it, her own "aura" was even colder than the Ice Emperor's.
Just then, right after Miss Ning released her amplifying soul skill, a golden chain suddenly emerged from her waist, stretching out in two directions, binding the four people around her.
Soon, the same glow that was on Miss Ning began to flicker on the four people.
Chen Xin held the bow in his left hand, stretching his right hand toward the Ice Emperor. Her body quickly shrank into a green long arrow, its tip in the shape of a scorpion's tail.
Meanwhile, two completely different dragon roars echoed beside them.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, with the Seven-Colored Heavenly Lightning rumbling. Below, a huge Steel Fire Dragon appeared, roaring up to the heavens. Beside it, was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon True Body enveloped in seven-colored lightning, with dense lightning strands swirling around its body.
The air on the platform suddenly became cold, and the area around Lin Yi had formed a layer of white frost; vast wind and snow raged madly in the air, with six-sided snowflakes as sharp as knives.
The Snow Emperor raised her hand, her blue eyes flashing with a faint light; the Ice World Snow Lady was clearly the ruler of the platform.
"Swoosh!"
Chen Xin released his grip, and the arrow shot forth!
Following close behind was the hellfire from the Steel Fire Dragon. As the tank, while it had a defense, it still needed to release skills to attack.
"Blue Thunder Blast!"
Emperor Xueye clenched his massive and fierce dragon claw, and the particles of lightning that permeated the air instantly exploded, generating a tremendous amount of energy.
An assassin's role is to inflict high amounts of damage in an instant, and Emperor Xueye's skill perfectly met this criterion.
The four's attack was completed in a flash, and Miss Ning, who played a supportive role, watched the entire skill-casting feast from up close and in full.
There was no Damage Rebound, as the attack came without any rewards.
All five of them felt weakened, with each person using up half of their own Soul Power reserves, excluding the Ice Emperor.
Miss Ning added a layer of defensive aura to herself and, braving the cold, walked over to the Snow Emperor to give her a Soul Power Flash Charge.
After all, the Snow Emperor hadn't attacked yet; she couldn't just proceed with the assault with only half of her Soul Power left.
"Thank you."
Miss Ning smiled, and looking at the Snow Emperor's stomach, said, "It's nothing... Mm... Having a daughter is a wonderful thing, it is for me."
"It is for me as well."
But she hoped that her daughter would adapt to the world of Soul Land a bit faster... the Snow Emperor caressed her belly, thinking to herself.
Ice Emperor, standing at a distance, looked at the two sharing their "motherly insights," the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
At this moment, all six of them were waiting for the result of the damage, including everyone below the stage.
This was the first group attack, and it came with such a special bonus.
Lin Yi checked the damage that appeared on the panel.
[Blood Loss: 4,365,786]
[Remaining Health: 899,860,563,745]
An attack by five people meant that on average, each person contributed over eight hundred thousand damage...
Though it wasn't a regular attack, this was already considered the most blood loss in one go in history, even more than the Kindness God's kick that drained blood previously.
Lin Yi: "Total damage 4,365,786."
"Over four million? My God?!"
A collective gasp of astonishment arose from both the six on stage and the audience below.
They, too, had calculated the average damage: eight hundred thousand each round. If it were a solo attack, even with all their might, they definitely couldn't hit eight hundred thousand!
Lin Yi: "This reward has a very direct positive impact on the Soul Master competition."
Beyond that, he said nothing else; but just with those words, the six on the stage were already completely enveloped in joy.
Could they possibly be hopeful for reaching the top two now?
After the six descended from the stage, the pressure was on the Star Luo side.
Star Luo Emperor Dai Ben glanced at Gu Yuena, trying to find a bit of solace in the calm expression of the big shot; sure enough, Gu Yuena's face was still cool and composed, as if she didn't care in the least about the reward obtained by the Heaven Dou side.
Only Di Tian, who was close by, knew that Gu Yuena's teeth were already grinding with a crackling noise; she always made this sound when envious of others' rewards.
"Who's going up first?"
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun's question, Dai Ben turned to look at Ying Wei, who was tied up, and frowned, "Is he in a state of confidence or inferiority right now?"
Zhu Zhuyun silently calculated for a moment: "He just returned to his initial state a minute ago."
"Then let's make use of his current lack of confidence and get him up there quickly!"
