118, The Fiercest Beast on the Scene [Second Update]_1

Sitting on a soft cushion, Lin Yi first turned his attention to Dai Ben and his two companions.

"When did you get here?"

He asked in an even tone.

"The... the first one, we arrived before daybreak."

Dai Ben immediately answered.

The three of them looked somewhat travel-worn, but no one around them showed any strange reactions, leading Lin Yi to believe that what Dai Ben said was likely true.

"Attack after the group of four following His Majesty Snow Night."

"Ah? Why?! We clearly were the first..."

Davis stepped forward in confusion but as soon as he met Lin Yi's gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and the words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back involuntarily.

"I'm sorry..."

Davis quickly apologized.

Dai Ben pulled him back, smiling as he bowed in a salute: "Many thanks, Senior, for accommodating us."

Lin Yi did not respond.

Actually, his late appearance was the least friendly to the Gua Sha Masters.

These Gua Sha Masters couldn't perform their scraping at dawn, so tonight they'll probably have to scrape till midnight...

At this moment, Lin Yi gestured for Bi Bidong to come over.

Every time Lin Yi called her out, it made Bi Bidong's attention freeze for a moment. She quickly nodded her head, moved to the platform, and demurely knelt in front of Lin Yi.

"Senior, the Black Silk on my legs is intact today."

Bi Bidong said with a smile, her gaze filled with a touch of expectation as she stared at Lin Yi.

What does the Black Silk on your legs have to do with me?

Lin Yi looked into her eyes and after a moment nearly understood the subtext in Bi Bidong's words.

She wants me to touch her legs...

You've changed, Bi Bidong. Could it be that being touched has become an addiction?

One touch should be enough.

After all, I can't find a reason to do it a second time.

Lin Yi, unmoved, nodded: "Mhm."

Bi Bidong's face stiffened, and she immediately showed a look of disappointment as if her expectations had been dashed.

As expected, Senior Lin Yi does not fancy legs, at least not hers.

"How did the discussion go yesterday?"

Lin Yi inquired.

"Everyone is very agreeable, but we still need to deliberate on the specific rules. We'll strive to present a few proposals for your review today," Bi Bidong replied with a smile. After finishing, she did not forget to praise herself, "Senior, you can trust my capabilities. Bi Bidong will definitely present you with a satisfactory report."

"Mhm, I trust you to handle it."

Upon receiving praise from Lin Yi, Bi Bidong was momentarily stunned before nodding her head excitedly.

Senior's approval +1, happy~

"Thank you for trusting me, Senior!"

"No need for thanks, begin your attack for today."

Lin Yi made a gesture of invitation, but just then, as he sat in meditation, he suddenly felt a vibration coming from the ground.

The only ones who reacted were Thousand Waves, Bi Bidong, and Jin E Xiao Douluo, aside from Lin Yi himself.

Because among those present, these three, including Lin Yi, had the highest spiritual power.

Powerful figures were arriving, and not just one.

Lin Yi looked up, and the three people including Bi Bidong immediately turned their heads in one direction.

The Soul Masters initially didn't react, but seeing that Lin Yi and Bi Bidong were directing their attention behind them, everyone turned around together.

On the outer edge of the crowd, three figures were slowly approaching.

The person in the center was tall, wearing a black robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns. He was handsome in appearance, yet his demeanor exuded an air of authority.

To his right was an extremely burly man, nearly three meters tall with his muscular upper body bare, his face covered in thick lines, expressing an unfriendly demeanor.

To the left was an exceedingly graceful and beautiful woman. She wore a long emerald dress, her figure lithe and slender, her face always adorned with a faint smile.

In the middle stood Di Tian.

As for the two beside him, Lin Yi, relying on the descriptions from the original work, could roughly make out that they were the ferocious beasts numbered "Two," Bear Lord and Bi Ji.

As they approached the crowd, Bear Lord stepped forward, and his right foot stomped forcefully on the ground.

An immensely strong force spread rapidly toward the front, knocking the normal Soul Masters in that direction to the ground.

However, a sharp sword cry that followed closely thereafter sliced through Bear Lord's rampaging power.

"A human powerhouse?"

Bear Lord muttered disdainfully.

Straight ahead, Chen Xin calmly held a snow-white longsword as he slowly turned to face Bear Lord from a distance.

"I'm truly sorry, Senior Lin Yi..."

At this moment, Di Tian turned to Lin Yi with a bitter look on his face and apologized.

"If you're sorry, why don't you discipline your subordinates properly? Do you three think that being ferocious beasts gives you the right to act recklessly here?"

Bi Bidong coldly questioned from the stands.

"I... I have no choice, I'm truly sorry!"

Di Tian was bowing his body, looking apologetic, but there was no sign of him intending to admonish Bear Lord. It was as if he had some unspeakable difficulty.

And at this moment Bi Ji had an expression like that of a bystander enjoying the drama.

This made Lin Yi somewhat puzzled.

In the original work, Bear Lord indeed had the audacity to act wildly in front of Di Tian, but his strength was still far inferior to Di Tian.

Di Tian certainly had the courage and spirit to chastise Bear Lord.

"Heh, just because Di Tian is afraid of this human doesn't mean I am, but what annoys me the most right now is this human with the sword—"

Just as Bear Lord was about to move towards Chen Xin, he suddenly paused and took a step back.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing Bear Lord's strange behavior.

Bear Lord slightly turned his head, his ferocious face suddenly filled with respect, as if listening to some advice from someone standing beside him.

But beside him... was only air!

There was no one next to him.

A moment later, Bear Lord straightened up, his gaze searching through the crowd, locking onto Lin Yi.

"Are you Lin Yi?"

"It's me."

"Let me see if you truly possess divine abilities!"

Bear Lord suddenly shifted his target, transferring the hostility he felt towards Chen Xin onto Lin Yi.

In that instant, Lin Yi understood.

He slightly curved his lips upward.

So, there were not just three ferocious beasts present after all...

There were four in total, only the fourth one had somehow concealed its presence.

And this hidden beast, possessing greater authority than Di Tian, could make the lofty Di Tian nod in agreement and make the ferocious Bear Lord act with utmost respect.

The hidden beast was the most ferocious one present!

No wonder Lin Yi always felt an aura at the scene, several times stronger than Di Tian's.

Yet, he could never pinpoint the master of that aura.

As Bear Lord strode towards the stands with a menacing air, Bi Bidong's slender body was the first to block in front of Lin Yi, her hand grasping the Rakshasa Scythe.

Thousand Waves and several other guest elders also intercepted Bear Lord at the front, preparing for battle.

"Step aside."

Lin Yi spoke calmly.

Since the hidden boss of the scene was interested to see if Lin Yi was the real deal, it was time to show her.

On hearing his words, Bi Bidong turned around, only to see Lin Yi opening his eyes with a faint smile on his face.

Just then, someone in the chat group also spoke up.

"One": Whether Lin Yi is really powerful or not is about to be revealed.

"Second": Are you also at the scene???
