163, Lin Yi: Attack, you are the strongest person among Soul Masters [Second Update]_1

But it was precisely this starkly contrasting image that made everyone truly realize that the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall was indeed a woman who doesn't concede to men.

With the Divine Artifact, the Rakshasa Scythe in her left hand and the top-tier Spirit Halo Hammer in her right, it was astonishing to see such weapons, brimming with a deadly and violent aura, being wielded by a woman.

"Hu——"

Bi Bidong exhaled, and the Hao Tian Hammer began to gather strength.

Once the power was fully amassed, a purple light burst from her beautiful eyes.

"Sixth soul skill, Eternal Night Meteor!"

Bi Bidong shouted sharply, and the Rakshasa Scythe in her left hand spun toward Lin Yi, emitting a sinister roar like a devil as it cut through the air.

Lin Yi was struck in the chest by the scythe blade, then looked up into the sky.

The Hao Tian Hammer in Bi Bidong's hand expanded several times in size; although not as large as when she was in the real body state of her martial soul, and the sky had not turned pitch black, the Hao Tian Hammer, ablaze with a layer of purple flames, still resembled a meteor falling through eternal night.

"Bang!"

The hammer struck down.

Bi Bidong exhaled, her lithe body demonstrating the aesthetic of violence to its fullest extent, her explosive power in no way inferior to that of any other strength-type Soul Master.

This hammer strike was followed by an immediate twist of her body as she swung the Hao Tian Hammer once again, its handle bending slightly due to the resistance of the air.

This was a contest between the Hao Tian Hammer and Damage Rebound.

"Peng!"

Damage Rebound disappeared.

With a "boom", Bi Bidong set the hammer on the stage; she held onto the handle, breathed out and casually wiped away the sweat that had appeared on her forehead.

Although she could swing it, it was indeed tiring; after all, a woman's strength could not compare to those brutes of the Hao Tian Clan.

"Crack!"

At that moment, Bi Bidong looked down and noticed that the heel of her high-heeled shoe had broken off.

A twitch crossed the corner of her eye; it seemed violence really wasn't for women—this was one of her favorite shoes, and if it weren't for Lin Yi's presence, she wouldn't normally even wear them!

Bi Bidong sighed helplessly, slipping her jade foot, wrapped in Black Silk, out of the shoe and stepping barefoot onto the platform.

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and looked towards the panel.

[Blood loss: 351467]

[Remaining HP: 899961734764]

[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]

[Random Reward: Two-Word Battle Armor Set (Spider Emperor) *1]

[Host Reward: Two-Word Battle Armor Set (Unnamed) *3]

It was actually a full set of Two-Word Battle Armor!

And a full set required a name; two-word Battle Armor means a name consisting of two words—this was a product of soul technology from twenty thousand years later.

Considering that, it made sense for the four-word Battle Armor parts to exist in the Red pool; having full sets of the two-word Battle Armor was reasonable.

Lin Yi looked at Bi Bidong and said,

"Damage 351467, Red Intermediate grade, reward is a Two-Word Battle Armor full set named Spider Emperor."

"This, like the Four-Word Battle Armor, is a high-tech product of soul technology from twenty thousand years later, with very strong damage enhancements, and moreover, wearing the full set of Two-Word Battle Armor grants the ability to fly."

Having said this, the only man present with a Four-Word Battle Armor became restless.

Thousand Waves couldn't help but swallow his saliva; so far, he had only managed to obtain two parts of the Four-Word Battle Armor.

According to Senior Lin Yi, he still needed nine more parts to complete the full set...

Gu Yuena and her two companions listened in total confusion; they barely understood soul tools, much less this high-tech from twenty thousand years in the future.

"Senior..."

Bi Bidong stared intently at the red light orb in Lin Yi's hand, wanting it for herself.

Lin Yi smiled faintly and flicked the light orb towards Bi Bidong.

The orb struck Bi Bidong's lower abdomen and suddenly transformed into a piece of purple armor, with the rest of the armor spreading around her like a surging tide.

In less than three seconds, a fitted purple armor had completely covered Bi Bidong's body.

The armor was contoured for a female's figure, appearing neither bulky nor heavy. It was entirely purple with patterns of spider webs decorating its surface, perfectly embodying the words "Spider Emperor."

Bi Bidong looked up at Lin Yi, only when wearing it on her body could she feel the surprise that high technology brought, such a boost truly existed!

Before, when she saw Thousand Waves using the Four-Word Battle Armor, she couldn't fathom how such a formidable boost came about; now, at last, she had experienced that sensation herself, realizing that this is how Soul Masters fought after twenty thousand years!

"Ka ka—" Just then, a noise emanated from behind her, and with a "whoosh", a pair of ethereal light purple wings appeared on her back.

At that moment, Lin Yi even thought of Battle Spirit Wings... after all, this was his first time seeing the images from the text.

Bi Bidong hovered in the air with the grace of a hummingbird; her wings fluttered discreetly, yet they possessed a clear and powerful lifting force.

She was thrilled; this was a direct and favorable reward for the Soul Master contest!

After Bi Bidong landed, the armor merged into her body following her intent, an ability also of the Two-Word Battle Armor.

"Thank you, Senior."

Lin Yi nodded slightly without any false modesty.

Watching Bi Bidong walking down the steps happily with her high heels in hand, Thousand Waves followed with a serious expression.

Gu Yuena could hardly stand still – it was her first encounter with Battle Armor, and she was shocked to her core.

Battle Armor felt to her a lot like an attached soul bone, yet more functional and possibly even superior.

And at Lin Yi's place, it seemed soul bones were quite ordinary rewards... Gu Yuena gradually realized this.

Of course, the others had already realized it much earlier.

"Wait!" Gu Yuena couldn't contain her impatience and called out.

Thousand Waves turned around on the stage, and Lin Yi's gaze also shifted toward her – when their eyes met, it was like a clash of swords and sabers.

However, Gu Yuena was a bit more subdued today.

"What is it?" Lin Yi asked coldly.

"I wanted to ask when we, the first group to arrive here besides those riff-raff, would get to attack?" Gu Yuena said.

The "riff-raff" she referred to were the Gua Sha Masters.

This was a peculiar group; they woke earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs, yet they were content with the most meager rewards.

Lin Yi fell silent for a few seconds.

This instilled a glimmer of hope in Gu Yuena; it was the first time this man had been silent.

"The same order as yesterday," Lin Yi declared.

Gu Yuena's eyes instantly turned hollow.

"Believe it or not, I'll hit you?!" She was on the verge of exploding with rage and ready to charge forward, but Di Tian immediately blocked her. Gu Yuena's chest heaved in anger, but she didn't dare to truly confront Lin Yi. Fortunately, she had Di Tian's support to fall back on.

Yet, she was genuinely furious! Stupid man!

"I decided based on the order of appearance. However, if any of you are late on a certain day, you must follow the rules and line up at the very end, behind those Soul Masters," Lin Yi said indifferently, ignoring Gu Yuena's grimacing "fierce dragon" expression, and turned to Thousand Waves, "Attack, you are the most formidable Soul Master here. I look forward to your performance."

Unexpectedly praised...

Thousand Waves stood on the stage, taken aback, his heart thumping.
