Chapter 17: 17, Bi Bidong: Pass! Serpent Spear Douluo!_1
In Soul Land, no matter who it was or what level of Soul Master they were, none could remain calm when faced with a soul bone.
It was a value that money couldn't possibly measure!
The reaction of the Porcupine Douluo was completely within Lin Yi's expectations.
Moreover, it was the most precious soul bone of trunk.
He could entirely become the target of all Titled Douluo's pursuit because of this soul bone of trunk!
At this moment, Porcupine Douluo clutched the soul bone tightly, as if terrified of someone looking at it one more time, coveting even an iota more.
Lin Yi said with a calm expression, "I have no interest in being your dad, and I have no interest in your mother either. I'll ask you again, who am I?"
Porcupine Douluo swallowed hard.
Despite seeing no soul power fluctuations on the young man, facing the young man's aggressive questioning, he felt an inexplicable pressure.
"You... You're my grandfather?"
Porcupine Douluo asked tentatively.
Lin Yi took a deep breath and rolled his eyes, "...I am the Pursuit of Death!"
He strived to pull back the central idea of why he was seated here!
Otherwise, everyone would gradually begin to think of him as just a great philanthropist.
While speaking, Lin Yi pointed to a banner above the stands:
"Having taken the reward I gave you, you should realize that my most urgent and incomparable desire is to die, and your task is to kill me without any reservations!"
When he uttered these words, his tone was resolute and strong, his face serious.
His entire face seemed to be shrouded in shadows, frightening Porcupine Douluo so much that he sat back while hugging the soul bone.
"This humble one understands, this humble one knows. I will make an effort!"
He said repeatedly.
"Today you still have one last chance to attack. Grasp the damage, and don't leave regrets."
"I need to remind you that if the damage from the same person remains in a fixed range for too long without a breakthrough, even if the Damage Level stays the same, the quality of the rewards will decrease."
Lin Yi said indifferently.
He wasn't spouting nonsense; these were crappy rules given by the System.
It was likely to prevent the same person from continuously shearing wool on Lin Yi's body.
But Lin Yi didn't find anything wrong with that.
Actually, scraping therapy had its merits as well, accumulating slowly, little by little, adds up.
But the System held it to a higher standard!
Of course, Lin Yi also knew that this was a rule set by the System to encourage the same person to continuously break through and unleash higher levels of damage.
In time, everyone would raise their own standards because of this rule, strive to cultivate, and study damage.
Perhaps, the combat effectiveness standards of the entire continent would considerably advance due to it.
And they might be able to shed the title of a Xuanhuan sewer.
After hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had remarkable changes in their expressions.
Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly murmured with a solemn expression, "I suddenly have a feeling that this young man was sent by the heavens specifically to give us a problem, and the strongest damage we keep outputting is the correct answer to this problem..."
"He is a god blessing Soul Land!"
Since soul bone rewards could be given out, Chrysanthemum Douluo had nothing he couldn't believe at this moment.
Ghost Douluo nodded emphatically, "I think so too! We brothers truly understand each other!"
"Who the hell is your brother!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at Ghost Douluo with disdain.
Just then, the two saw Porcupine Douluo carefully step down from the stage and immediately crowded around him.
"Ci Tun, let us see the soul bone!"
"What for?"
Porcupine Douluo eyed the two in front of him warily, having already stored the soul bone in his soul tool.
Chrysanthemum Douluo snorted and said with a curled lip, "What did I say, what did we say? Now do you want to take back what you said earlier?"
After hearing that, Porcupine Douluo immediately put on a sycophantic smile, as if he were a completely different person than the one who had been on stage before.
He quickly ushered Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to one side, bowing and scraping, "Brothers, it was my lack of insight. You've been here the whole time and must have a clear understanding of those rules, could you explain them to your little brother?"
"I just listened with confusion. What 'Black Level,' what 'Damage Level,' and what records?"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo pair immediately took on the appearance of high-end players, glancing sideways at the Porcupine Douluo with disdain.
"Explaining it to you isn't impossible, but just thinking about how arrogant you were towards us before... Heh heh."
The Chrysanthemum Douluo let out a cold laugh.
Next to him, the Ghost Douluo chimed in, "That utterly reliable look you had really irks us just thinking about it."
The Porcupine Douluo's face stiffened, and he immediately slapped himself!
With an aggrieved expression, he said, "Who the hell is reliable! Brother, I've never been reliable since the day I was born!"
"The Pope, huh? Just let her wait there obediently!"
"Damn women are such a hassle. She didn't believe it, right? Once the three of us brothers come back with the rewards, won't we be slapping her face over and over!"
The Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo pair, upon hearing this, had a sudden change in expression. "Who the hell is brother to you!"
...
Pontiff Hall.
Bi Bidong's noble and chilly face gradually became impatient.
It has been so long...
The Porcupine Douluo had not yet returned!
Did he elope with that young man?!
Or did he end up being a sacrificial companion in death with the Ghost and Chrysanthemum pair for that young man!
"Smack!"
Bi Bidong furrowed her brows, her hand striking the armrest of the throne with a slap, startling the three people below.
Evil Moon and Yan could sense the fury radiating from the Pope and couldn't help but huddle together, trembling.
Hulena fared better, after all, spending day and night with Bi Bidong, she was somewhat familiar with her temperament.
Right now, she really wanted to retort, so folding her arms, she stepped forward and asked,
"Teacher, didn't you say Elder Ci Tun was always reliable?"
Evil Moon and Yan immediately widened their eyes.
Holy crap! You're so brave, Nana!
Bi Bidong turned to Hulena, her eyes twitching awkwardly a few times. She cleared her throat, stubbornly saying, "He has always followed my orders reliabily before, I don't know what happened this time..."
"It's definitely because he was attracted by the reward from Senior Lin Yi!"
Hulena said, laughing confidently.
Bi Bidong bit her silver teeth; at this moment, her anger was tinged with a bit of spite towards Hulena.
She just didn't believe it! Not one person could get things right for her!
"Summon Serpent Spear Douluo!"
...
"So, that's how it is. Do you understand now?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo said irritably, looking at the Porcupine Douluo.
"So you mean... the current highest Damage Level record was set by me?!"
Upon hearing this, Porcupine Douluo's face turned as red with excitement as his Martial Soul.
Chrysanthemum Pass snorted coldly, "But did you not hear the rule that young man just mentioned? If future damage does not break your own previous range, the quality of the reward will drop."
"You went in with your eighth soul skill and set your own standard so high, making breakthroughs difficult now."
"This means, the quality of the rewards you can get later might not surpass this soul bone, and might even be lower than what this damage should have got you."
Upon hearing this, Porcupine Douluo's facial muscles twitched stiffly.
It seems he was happy too soon.
Chrysanthemum Douluo slapped his shoulder, laughing, "Ci Tun ah Ci Tun, if you want a higher quality reward, you'll have to really work hard later on."
When Porcupine Douluo heard this, he gasped for air and clenched his fists, filled with righteous indignation.
"Good! From now on, I, Ci Tun, will keep the highest Damage Level record!"
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed. "What did you say? Repeat that?"
