203, Lin Yi: This is the genuine article, a Tier-10 Fixed Installation Soul Guidance Device! [Second Release]_1
"How could it not be? Senior Ning said that you disdain to take any defensive measures at all, although... although I admit you're very impressive, under these circumstances our soul technology..."
"Then let's give it a try."
Lin Yi interrupted coldly.
Nagging, if you're a man, then just fire the cannon at me, Li Yunlong... sorry, wrong script.
Helpless, Lin Yi had too many gripes in his stomach.
He could tell that Jing Hongchen had definitely let his imagination run wild, mistaking a simple attack rule for a personal character test on him.
Test my ass... can your character bleed me dry? You're not the main character, why should I test your character?
"Everyone, get up. It's getting late, today I'll only provide four of you with the attack incentive, the rest who are interested can come early tomorrow to queue up."
Lin Yi said.
Just then, a girl suddenly raised her hand.
"Senior Lin Yi! I have a question!"
Meng Hongchen stood on tiptoes, raising her right hand high, trying to get Lin Yi's attention.
"Speak."
Lin Yi looked at her with a cold expression.
Being stared at with such a cold and detached gaze made Meng Hongchen instantly develop a sense of fear.
Her voice weakened: "I just heard from Senior Ning that there's going to be a Soul Master competition here soon?"
"Yes."
"I heard the champion will receive a very generous reward?"
"Yes."
"Our side's Soul Master competition starts in half a month, and we definitely won't make it, so I wanted to ask, can we participate in your competition?"
"Yes."
"Can we use soul tools?"
"Yes."
Jing Hongchen stared at the scene of his granddaughter talking to Lin Yi, dumbfounded.
You silly girl! I, the dean, am still here!
Without even knowing what the champion's reward is, you decide on behalf of the academy to enter the competition?!
Jing Hongchen suddenly felt a headache coming on because of his infatuated granddaughter.
"Grandpa! This senior is really cool! He only speaks one word at a time!"
Meng Hongchen exclaimed excitedly to Jing Hongchen while stamping her foot.
Such a unique and outstanding peer struck her fancy in a mere instant.
"Have you ever considered that he might not like you, and that's why he's reluctant to say more than one word?"
Jing Hongchen didn't skimp on disparaging his granddaughter.
Meng Hongchen's face stiffened, and her pupils lost their luster instantly.
"Hmph, Grandpa is so annoying!"
She flipped her head and ran to the back.
Jing Hongchen hastily said to Lin Yi, "My apologies, Senior, she's ignorant, as for our participation in the competition... we'll talk later, later!"
Once you've been attacked, you might be begging me to join the competition.
What low-grade stuff are the prizes for the Soul Master competitions in a million years compared to what I'm offering?
Lin Yi thought to himself.
...
By this time, Jing Hongchen had pretty much figured out that Lin Yi wasn't joking; he really did intend to let people receive benefits by attacking him.
He had thought it was a test, and now thinking about it, it was embarrassing; his earlier performance was indeed a bit over-the-top.
But thinking about the potential to receive those miraculous rewards, Jing Hongchen was still willing to attack Lin Yi.
Anyway, whatever consequences happened had nothing to do with him, after all, it was Lin Yi who had initiated the request, so he was not at fault.
Jing Hongchen looked around and noticed the all-terrain, self-propelled soul artillery battery that had not been put away yet.
```
Perhaps the effect wouldn't be seen if this thing were fired at a tank, but if live rounds were to hit the body, that would be the most direct experience.
Jing Hongchen, of course, still wanted to prove the superiority of their soul guiding device technology in front of ancestors from ten thousand years ago!
This was also considered seizing the opportunity. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he walked towards the artillery battery.
"Dean, are you sure about this? Using this thing? Maybe... should we try tapping him with a stick first? That counts as an attack too, doesn't it?"
Ju Zi pressed her fair little hand onto the artillery battery, her expression worried.
Perhaps the ancestors hadn't seen it, so they looked down on these soul tools, but even if they were weak, if Lin Yi, strong as he was, were to withstand a direct hit without actively defending, his body would definitely suffer!
"He said to just give the soul guide a try, so let's listen to him. After all, everyone is listening. If something happens, it's not our fault."
Jing Hongchen winked at his top student and whispered.
"Alright then..."
Ju Zi wasn't worried about Lin Yi; there was nothing to worry about with a stranger, she was just afraid Jing Hongchen would get into trouble.
The artillery battery moved on the ground, even closing the distance to Lin Yi from before. It seemed Jing Hongchen was determined to prove the might of soul technology in front of these ancestors, at least to regain some face.
"Predecessor, I'm ready. What about you?"
Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Yi with a surge of emotion.
Lin Yi responded indifferently with a "hmm".
Jing Hongchen took a deep breath, and Title Douluo level soul power was injected into the all-terrain self-propelled artillery battery.
The core magic array flickered with white light. The artillery's muzzle calibrated its position and adjusted its angle, the dark and gloomy hole aiming at Lin Yi's chest.
This scene was somewhat shocking for the students of Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
Because whenever any offensive soul tool was successfully developed within the academy, they had never been validated by attacking the body in this way.
Even knowing that Lin Yi was out of the ordinary, they still found this incredible.
The artillery battery uttered a "hum" as the muzzle emitted a blazing white glow. The soul cannonball was fired and accurately hit Lin Yi's chest.
"Boom!"
If it were a tank, Lin Yi might have blinked slightly.
When the smoke cleared, Lin Yi, still seated firmly on the platform, came into the view of everyone at the Royal Academy. Not only did his body not move in the slightest, but there was also no damage to be seen on him whatsoever.
Jing Hongchen stood with a stunned expression for a good one or two seconds.
Immediately he bent over to check the various parts and core magic array on the artillery battery to see if there were any errors that could have reduced the damage.
But the result was, the battery was functioning perfectly normally.
And Jing Hongchen clearly remembered that this model of battery had successfully blasted an evil Soul Master of Soul Sage rank into mincemeat during a mission.
But when used on Lin Yi, there was absolutely no effect!
Lin Yi indeed had not released any defensive skills just now!
Ju Zi was stunned as well, including the Hongchen siblings.
Compared to what others told them about how formidable Lin Yi was, they were more willing to believe what they had just witnessed with their own eyes.
Lin Yi was truly amazing! He was amazing in a way that refreshed the concepts of humans ten thousand years later!
Lin Yi looked towards the panel.
[Blood Loss: 89764]
[Remaining Health: 899950874367]
[Damage Grade: Black (Intermediate)]
[Random Reward: Silver Moonlight Shield (a Tier-10 Fixed Installation Soul Guidance Device personally crafted by Kong Deming) *1]
[Host Reward: Silver Moonlight Shield (as above) *3]
Lin Yi held up a black light ball in his hand and said:
"Damage 89764, Black Intermediate Level, the reward is a Silver Moonlight Shield, a Tier-10 Fixed Installation Soul Guidance Device."
Lin Yi shook the light ball in his hand, and like a trick, it expanded, instantly turning into a soul guidance defense shield flashing with silver light, visibly more advanced than the shield that Bullet had shattered.
Looking at Jing Hongchen, who was still in a state of stunned silence, Lin Yi added:
"Oh, and this is the genuine article, a Tier-10 soul guide device developed by Kong Deming himself. It's his personal fixed installation device, with only one in the Entire Sun Moon Continent, right?"
Jing Hongchen was too stunned to even respond.
ps. Thank you for the continued support.
