227. Modified Tightening Spell? More than two thousand people within a hundred meters affected! [Large Chapter]_2

Gu Rong immediately turned to look at Lin Yi, ready to transform into Lin Yi's appearance, but as his body flickered with light and shadow for a moment, it seemed to get stuck and he just couldn't transform.

"The limitation of this ability is that you cannot transform into my likeness."

Lin Yi said to him calmly.

Gu Rong immediately reverted to his original form and took a few steps back in shock, almost unable to revert back to human form!

Damn, I won't dare to attempt transforming into Lin Yi again...

Gu Rong stepped off the field in disgruntlement, followed by a nervous Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin trailing behind.

"Sister, sister, his reward is so fun, I want one too..."

The mature yet girlish Ice Emperor couldn't hold back any longer. She tugged at the Snow Emperor's sleeve and stomped her feet repeatedly, speaking with impatience and a face full of curiosity.

The Snow Emperor flicked her younger sister's head with her hand: "Do you still remember how aggressive you were just a moment ago? Now you want a reward? Luckily, he doesn't hold a grudge, having a large heart."

The Ice Emperor huffed and pouted her lips.

"It should still be a long while before it's our turn..."

The Snow Emperor looked around at the waiting crowd, saying somewhat worriedly.

Really, if only I had known earlier, we would have come sooner. Ice Child, why didn't you mention this earlier?

...

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin bowed to Lin Yi in ritualistic respect.

Every person or soul beast that came up would pay their respectful homage to Lin Yi before attacking, except for Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena had a simple idea, she just wanted to find a chance to defeat Lin Yi and then take no responsibility.

"Let's start."

"Yes."

"Uncle Jian, wait."

Ning Fengzhi called out to Chen Xin and placed his hand on Chen Xin's shoulder, helping Chen Xin to charge his Soul Power from ninety-six percent to a full one hundred percent.

Chen Xin: ?

Ning Fengzhi: "Haha, OCD."

Taking into account that the Sword Spirit had been upgraded to a senior level, the attack patterns used before could still be used again.

Ning Fengzhi raised his hand, and the glazed color of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spiraled into the air.

"The Seven Treasures are renowned, the first is strength, the third is soul!"

Red and yellow halos circled around Chen Xin, granting him an extremely powerful enhancement.

Chen Xin continued to use his third soul skill, Seven Kills unsheathed!

He gripped the hilt of his sword, swirling blossoms of sword flowers, dazzling white sword silks flickering in midair. At that moment, it seemed as if there were two people simultaneously wielding swords, attacking Lin Yi from different angles.

Sheathing the sword, but not into its scabbard.

Chen Xin's gaze was fierce, the sword blade held upright in front of him, and he shouted in a deep voice:

"Dugu Jiujian's first technique, the Ultimate Move!"

The enhancement from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda remained on him as Chen Xin's figure flickered, and the long sword in his hand charged forward like a swimming snake, the sword light flashing twenty times in a second!

"Whoosh!"

Damage Rebound shattered with a loud bang.

Only then did Chen Xin formally sheathe his sword.

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood Loss: 354876]

[Remaining Blood Volume: 899944108467]

[Damage Level: Red (Intermediate)]

[Random Reward: Modified Tightening Spell (Coverage 100 meters)]

[Host Reward: Modified Tightening Spell (Coverage 1000 meters)]

Wow, the Tightening Spell... Lin Yi's eyes widened.

He looked at the annotation to see how the spell had been magically modified, no need to guess that this should belong to "magic damage."

After understanding the basics, Lin Yi looked at Ning Fengzhi.

"Damage 354876, Red Intermediate, your reward is the Modified Tightening Spell."

Lin Yi finished speaking and flicked the red light orb towards Ning Fengzhi, letting him integrate the reward first.

"The effect of this ability has a coverage range of 100 meters. During the recitation, everyone within a hundred meters will suffer from splitting headaches and lose the ability to move."

"There is no limit to the number of people. As many people as there are within a hundred meters, that's how many you can control."

After listening to Lin Yi's explanation, Ning Fengzhi nodded, as methods of operation formulated in his mind.

"If you can get the consent of the people around you, you may try it."

Lin Yi said with a smirk in his heart.

After all, he wasn't within the controlled range, so whatever Ning Fengzhi tried had nothing to do with him.

Gu Yuena suddenly spoke up, "What sort of Tightening Spell is this, one that ignores the level of the opponent and can affect anyone when cast?"

Lin Yi nodded, "Yes."

Gu Yuena suddenly glared at Ning Fengzhi, "Ugly freak, if you dare to try it, you're dead! Do you believe I can teleport a hundred meters away and teach you a lesson?"

Ning Fengzhi suddenly looked at her with a wronged expression, "...Senior, why are you making personal attacks?"

"If you dare to try, we will run a hundred meters away and launch an attack on you!"

Bi Bidong suddenly frowned as well.

"Right!"

"Don't try it! It's enough that you've received the reward!"

"Don't you dare try it!"

"If you try, we will run a hundred meters away to attack you!"

...

Ning Fengzhi instantly became the target of everyone's verbal attacks.

Because within a hundred-meter radius centered on him, over two thousand people were gathered!

If he were to cast the spell, over two thousand people, without exception, would suffer!

To be in so much pain that they'd lose the ability to move, how intense would that be? Wouldn't a lot of people fall down?

Whether it would affect everyone's subsequent attacks was still unknown.

"Since you are unwilling, then we won't try it..."

Being eyed with hostility by over two thousand people, even Jing Hongchen in the distance was so frightened that he had already set up a cannon, ready for battle, which made Ning Fengzhi instantly give in.

Just a hundred-meter range, what's the use of that, now many soul skills' casting ranges far exceed a hundred meters, they could still take care of him.

Lin Yi also had fused with the reward, covering a range of a thousand meters.

If he were to cast it, half of Soul City would fall, and not many soul skills could reach across a thousand meters to hit him.

As to what the specific spell was... the magically modified Tightening Spell actually had no incantation! It was automated as a skill, which covered a hundred-meter range with golden light as soon as it was released with a thought.

Lin Yi was actually quite satisfied with this magical modification, as he was too lazy to remember incantations.

Ning Fengzhi felt a bit depressed. He had finally received a reward with some prestige, yet he couldn't use it casually.

However, it was still better than Xue Qinghe's one-second experience reward; anyone with eyes could see that Xue Qinghe's reward would hardly ever be used.

Before starting the second attack, Ning Fengzhi again raised one hand and placed it on Chen Xin's shoulder, and the other on his own.

The soul power of both reached one hundred percent.

Lin Yi: "..."

You two, are you really that steady?

For the second attack, Chen Xin switched to attack mode, preparing to combine the Asura Sword's first and second soul skills.

Either the damage would far exceed what was necessary, or the quality of the reward would be reduced; in his mind, those were the only two possibilities.

Ning Fengzhi once again summoned the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda that shimmered with flowing light.

"Seven treasures renowned! The first is strength! The third is soul!"

Red and yellow enhancement rings enveloped Chen Xin, drastically boosting his aura.

Chen Xin summoned the Asura Sword Martial Soul, and with a broadsword in hand, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped instantaneously.

This was not coldness, but an ice-cold that intimidated the soul.

"Second Soul Skill, Asura Purgatory!"

Chen Xin first released his second soul skill. The second soul skill wasn't strong in attack but focused on weakening the target, with a major component being the erosion of spiritual power, and of course, it also provided a certain boost to the other soul skills of the Asura Sword Martial Soul.

"Awooo—"

Ghostly howls and wolf wails drifted through a domain of blood-red, Lin Yi looked down to see withered hands emerging from the platform's surface, their nails pitch-black and venomous.

Iron chains and broken sword shadows abounded in this domain, named Asura Purgatory, which resembled an ancient battlefield populated with numerous souls of the dead.

Lin Yi felt his health slowly dwindling.

Chen Xin walked out from the bloody purgatory, his demeanor completely transformed.

His body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of killing intent that was becoming increasingly tangible, the second soul skill subtly stacking a killing intent buff.

Chen Xin bent low, chanting softly:

"First Soul Skill, Asura Slash!"

The moment he recited the name of the soul skill, the spirits and severed hands in Asura Purgatory boiled over in excitement, as if welcoming the arrival of the Killing God.
