Emperor Xueye waved his nose, the foul smell left by the giant octopus hadn't dissipated yet, and in just a short while, it seemed as if even the air itself had been contaminated.
"Blue Planet is truly terrifying, Soul Land is better,"
Emperor Xueye murmured, then looked towards the few nearby, "Who will attack first?"
Chen Xin and Ning Lolita stood far apart on either side, as if water and fire could not mix, of course, this was only one-sided... Chen Xin still wanted to speak with her Sect Master, but unfortunately, he did not even show his face, closing his hotel room door immediately after returning yesterday, not opening even when Gu Rong knocked, as if he were afraid of men.
"I'll go first,"
Chen Xin said helplessly, glancing at her Sect Master, before stepping out.
Standing on the stage, she said to Lin Yi, "Senior, I plan to converse first with a villain who appeared randomly today to see if they are capable of aiding in my attack."
Her Seven Kills Sword's available skills were running out, and the Bow Without String really relied on the strong, demanding even greater quality from large objects since it had already been used on a mountain, unless Chen Xin found another mountain to use.
So dealing damage twice a day was a challenge for some factions to exceed their previous damage even once.
Lin Yi said, "You may."
Chen Xin bowed in thanks.
This was the reward she had received the day before, conversing with the villains from various worlds, where every day a villain would be randomly selected, and as long as Chen Xin completed five sentences of dialogue with them, they would come to the Soul Land plane for five minutes. During these five minutes, Chen Xin could order the villain to do anything, and after the task was completed, the villain could also get a Purple reward from Chen Xin before leaving.
It was just unfortunate that yesterday's draw was Zhao Gao from "Mythical," a villain with no combat value at all, turning Chen Xin's anticipation into nothingness.
Now, today's random villain had already been generated.
Chen Xin swallowed nervously, to be honest, she was somewhat anxious, as her primary concern was not whether the villain's damage was up to standard, but whether she could successfully complete the five sentences of dialogue.
Most people when suddenly engaging in conversation would become suspicious, or even fearful, especially when the other party was a villain, their wariness and trembling would be very strong, so they may not respond, preferring silent observation.
Chen Xin did not know who the other party was, but still planned to start with a classic approach.
However, at that moment, her Lordship paused slightly, a new idea emerging in her mind.
Chen Xin smiled and said, "Hello there, I am the Wish Messenger from another realm, I can grant you three wishes, as long as they meet the standards, I will fulfill them. Now please tell me what your three wishes are?"
The other did not immediately respond, which was within Chen Xin's expectations, as anyone would be taken aback by such a sudden voice.
But this time, Chen Xin was clever, not rushing but waiting a moment before saying casually,
"If you have no wishes, then I will move on to the next fortunate person. Goodbye."
Having said that, Chen Xin became anxious.
If the other was being stubborn, what if they really did say goodbye? You can only draw one per day, and wasting today's chance would be as good as forfeiting it.
Just then, a male voice came through!
"Wait! Don't be so hasty to leave, I want to know if what you just said is true?"
[1/5]
One-fifth of the conversation was complete!
Lin Yi frowned slightly; the voice that came through sounded somewhat familiar to him.
Chen Xin, overjoyed, slightly suppressed her emotions before responding, "It's true, but first I need to hear your three wishes to see if they meet the standard for fulfillment."
Villain: "Alright, my first wish is for the walls of Sheep Village to be lowered by half in height, that shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"
Chen Xin was momentarily stunned.
```
Summoning the villain was one aspect, determining whether the villain had the strength was another, otherwise, the successful summoning was useless, just like yesterday's encounter with Zhao Gao.
At the second line of dialogue, Chen Xin frowned.
There was a hint of mockery in the tone of the man opposite, as if the so-called Sheep Village didn't warrant his concern.
It seemed that Sheep Village must be on the side of justice, and this name was likely some kind of codename; since it was called a village, the righteous characters definitely made up a very large group.
This villain... was not simple at all, taking on an entire group by himself, indicating that he had enough formidable strength! Moreover, his wish was only to have the encircling wall of this group halved. Did halving the wall make it easier for him to slaughter them?!
Chen Xin was shocked!
Instead of weakening the enemy's power, he chose to weaken their "protection wall," revealing an extreme confidence in his own abilities!
Chen Xin began to get excited.
Dialogue[2/5]
Chen Xin: "That doesn't sound unreasonable. Alright, tell me your second wish."
Villain: "My second wish is to make the sheep in Sheep Village healthier and stronger, the lambs to grow up quickly, and the old sheep to become younger again."
Dialogue[3/5]
Chen Xin was taken aback and quickly replied, "Although your second wish is a bit arrogant, it shouldn't be hard to fulfill. What about your third wish?"
Fear gripped his heart. Indeed, this was a strong opponent!
This villain was terrifying, to actually wish for the group he opposed to become stronger. Did that make him feel more challenged?
This villain was not simple, definitely not simple! And twisted enough in his mind!
Villain: "My third wish, well, is to make my own kind keep away from Sheep Village, and let me alone deal with the guys from Sheep Village!"
Dialogue[4/5]
Chen Xin suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes.
Is this really a villain?!
Just when he thought this villain was alone without any companions, now he learned that he had companions. Yet, this villain chose to have his companions stay away from the war, taking on the danger alone!
What kind of selfless spirit was this?! It was simply tear-inducing!
Could there have been a random mistake, and actually Sheep Village was the villain, while this villain was the righteous one?
In an instant, the image of the opponent in Chen Xin's heart became immense.
Now they were just one sentence away from the end. As soon as the other party chose to answer, he would immediately appear in Soul Land.
After pondering for a while, Chen Xin spoke up, "I have listened to your three wishes, and for that, I greatly admire your courage and ambition. These three wishes fully meet the standards of fulfillment. Please tell me your name, address, and then I will begin to fulfill your wishes!"
The man opposite replied almost without any hesitation.
Villain: "Really?! Your service is really heartwarming! My name is Grey Wolf, I live in Wolf Castle. By the way, how will you come here?"
Chen Xin excitedly gestured a mission complete sign.
The five lines of dialogue were complete!
ps. One update today, traveling. Will return to two updates tomorrow.
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."
