516, The Seasoning of Douluo Going Viral [First Release]_1

This was the first time that they had witnessed a Martial Soul's evolution process being so difficult. Could it be that the evolution had failed?

Involuntarily, this question arose in everyone's mind.

After another minute had passed, the glow surrounding Zhu Zhuyun gradually diminished.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes. The spectral image of a massive and ferocious tiger's head appeared behind her, shocking Dai Ben, who stood beside her, to the point where his blood seemed to freeze.

The tiger's head's eyes were shimmering with a purple ghostly light, and the surrounding area of its head was shrouded in boundless black qi, with various intricate silver patterns adorning it.

Dai Ben trembled all over—it was a tremble that stemmed from his soul—the feeling of being suppressed by another's bloodline made it impossible for him to even release his Martial Soul.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuyun's appearance had also changed; streaks of purple had blended into her black hair, and silver patterns appeared at the corners of her eyes, as if she had put on a whole new makeup.

Zhu Zhuyun stood up, a faint tiger's roar emanating from her body, the sounds fluctuating, causing a sense of restlessness in the hearts of those who heard it. This was an influence of spiritual power.

Lin Yi looked at the panel, where a line of text had appeared.

[Evolution direction: Dark Demon Evil God Tiger]

It was a success.

Lin Yi congratulated Zhu Zhuyun, "Congratulations, your Martial Soul has successfully evolved into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."

Zhu Zhuyun showed a smile. At this moment, Lin Yi felt her temperament had undergone a transformation, becoming unfathomable, and her eyes conveyed a previously absent seductiveness that seemed to possess a certain spiritual power influence.

When her Martial Soul was still the Dark Demon Evil Tiger, that seductive quality only surfaced when she activated her skills; but now, it was emitted spontaneously, even without using a soul skill.

Thinking back, Zhu Zhuyun had undergone a drastic change compared to when she first arrived here.

If Davis were still present, he would definitely be astonished.

This change would surely astonish the entire Zhu Family and her sister, Zhu Zhuqing.

"I am immensely grateful."

Zhu Zhuyun knelt on both knees, earnestly expressing her gratitude towards Lin Yi.

Apart from Dai Ben, the others didn't know that Lin Yi was now her master. If it weren't for the need to avoid too much attention, Zhu Zhuyun truly wished to openly address Lin Yi as her master from now on.

Otherwise, perhaps she would serve her master tonight... She hadn't accompanied her master the previous night, and today she had a proper reason; the evolution of her Martial Soul into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was tantamount to a rebirth, giving her an absolute reason to express her gratitude... Zhu Zhuyun thought to herself.

After she stepped down, Lin Yi glanced at the Snow Emperor's belly.

Observing the degree of its movement, it appeared to be eight or nine months along. The birth was approaching.

The Ice Emperor would occasionally look at her sister with eyes full of concern and worry. So, what exactly had happened between the sisters last night… Now, it's as if one stands at the South Pole and the other at the North Pole.

Wang Qiu'er voluntarily made her way towards the stage, as she had been the first one to enter the competition for the Star Dou Camp the day before.

Everyone had high Damage Levels, but she had already exhausted her soul skills. There was no helping it—a modest Soul Sage could easily run into difficulties.

To make matters worse, the rewards she received were relatively insubstantial.

The Pinocchio Nose from yesterday and the Memory Erasure Spell... neither had any connection whatsoever to skill damage.

Only the Bumblebee provided her with a sense of warmth. The upcoming attacks would have to rely on Bumblebee alone.

Standing on the stage, Wang Qiu'er reached for the soul tool, a flash of light, and the roar of an engine erupted from the stage.

"Buzz—Buzz—"

A Chevrolet car circled around Lin Yi on the stage, its striking yellow color particularly eye-catching. This sight caused Bi Bidong and Dai Ben to both think of the scenes they had just witnessed in that parallel world.

Indeed, they looked exactly alike—it seemed that those four-wheeled objects could indeed transform into giant robots!

"Clickety-clack!"

Car parts seemed to come alive as they disassembled and reassembled themselves. Bumblebee stepped on two wheels, gliding like an inline skater, circling around Wang Qiu'er a few times with lively cheer. Finally, he leaped into the air, wheels spinning upward, and Bumblebee landed firmly on his feet as the radio blared in Chinese:

"We meet again, my master!"

Wang Qiu'er smiled and patted Bumblebee's metal hide, saying, "Attack him, but make today's attack a bit more powerful than yesterday's."

Bumblebee tilted his head as if pondering for a few seconds, then he clomped over to Lin Yi with the sound of gears turning in his shoulders. Soon, a cannon rose from his shoulder, aimed in Lin Yi's direction.

"Bang!"

The shell launched and exploded on Lin Yi, engulfing him in a burst of flames.

Following the attack, Bumblebee scratched his head and looked back at Wang Qiu'er with confusion, seemingly wondering why Lin Yi was still alive. Wasn't he supposed to be dead from a blast yesterday?

However, once the smoke cleared, he saw that Lin Yi was still sitting there, unscathed.

Bumblebee stood there, dumbfounded, then fiddled with the radio frequency. An electronic voice emanated, "Incredible."

"Keep on attacking!"

Wang Qiu'er shouted, noticing the golden light flickering on Lin Yi's body, excitement in her voice.

Bumblebee reacted swiftly, once again raising the cannon on his shoulder, and with a "boom," the fight was over.

When sci-fi meets fantasy, the result is a bewilderment belonging to sci-fi.

After the attack, Bumblebee blankly walked toward Wang Qiu'er, changing the radio stations as a voice declared, "Everything here is so strange."

Wang Qiu'er nodded in strong agreement, "To the people here, you're quite strange too."

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood Loss: 256437]

[Remaining Life: 899858864768]

[Damage Level: Red (Novice)]

[Random Reward: Magical Chicken Essence]

[Host Reward: Magical Chicken Essence (No Critical Hit)]

How bizarre, they can even put seasoning in the prize pool as a Red reward!?

Lin Yi was shocked.

It was a reward that matched the Red Level.

Lin Yi opened the annotations and started to read, his eyebrows slowly knitting together.

It was a reward that provided damage bonuses through food.

The notes said that any food sprinkled with this Magical Chicken Essence would become a dish that could bring a person damage bonuses after consumption.

The highest damage bonus was sixty percent, which was the cap.

Furthermore, depending on the type of food, the effect of the Chicken Essence would vary, but it would never exceed sixty percent.

There were clear instructions provided.

Ordinary food sprinkled with Chicken Essence would get a random bonus, with the percentage jumping randomly between 0 and sixty percent, whereas chicken dishes would jump between thirty and sixty percent, greatly enhancing the effect.
