In an instant, the arena was empty.
The final result was immediately locked in from above.
168,000.
The entire room fell silent.
Now there wasn't even a sound of breathing.
No one spoke, no one moved, and everyone shared the same feeling: the scene just now was too unreal, like an absurd hallucination.
Until Cao Mang laughed heartily: "This is so damn relaxing!"
Long Hongxiu maintained that proud posture.
Unfortunately, the composure on his face had already frozen.
As the dust settled, a high-level divine equipment treasure chest immediately appeared in front of Lin Yi. Lin Yi didn't rush to open it and casually put it away.
Long Hongxiu stared intently at the treasure chest, her expression growing increasingly distorted.
This is my reward!
Unfortunately, all that remained for her was ridicule from all sides.
Some people laughed at her for being shameless, some shook their heads and clicked their tongues, and others were just looking for a good show and egged her on to say a few more words.
Long Hongxiu didn't say anything more, but simply stuffed the invitation letter from the Goddess Academy into her arms, turned around, and disappeared into the crowd.
A burst of laughter came from behind.
Long Hongxiu paused for a moment, then walked even faster.
Lin Yi didn't stop him.
Watching Long Hongxiu's departing figure, Lin Yi couldn't help but ponder.
What exactly is the Goddess Academy after?
What's the real motive behind recruiting a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator as a bargaining chip?
Surely they couldn't really be after Long Hongxiu's talent?
Lin Yi gave Cao Mang a wink, and Cao Mang understood. He immediately sent people to secretly keep an eye on Long Hongxiu.
Regardless of what the Goddess Academy plans to do next, the focus will always be on Long Hongxiu, and keeping a close eye on her is never a bad thing.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of two familiar figures out of the corner of his eye.
Gan Niannian and Zhao Ning were standing not far away, peeking and looking in their direction.
Gan Niannian was carrying a bamboo basket with a few green feathers stuck in it, while Zhao Ning, with a fishing net at his waist, stood beside her looking exactly like a bodyguard.
Lin Yi walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Gan Niannian shook the bamboo basket: "Let's have barbecue. The dragon duck from Longjia Village is very famous. It's plump and tender, and tastes much better than ducks from other places."
She pointed at Zhao Ning: "She'll help me catch the ducks."
Zhao Ning shook the net in a cooperative manner, displaying the proud posture of an old hunter.
Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated.
It's unbelievable that a noble lady from a prestigious family would go out and be caught catching male prostitutes. It's a wonder the two girls can get along so well.
Lin Yi laughed and said, "That's perfect, it's been a long time since I've had anything you grilled, shall we have some?"
"Okay, okay!"
Gan Niannian's eyes lit up and she immediately nodded.
The three of them walked up the mountain path.
After passing through a grove of trees, a small hill appeared in front of us. The terrain was flat and the view was open. There was a simple barbecue grill in the middle, and some firewood and spice bottles were piled up next to it.
Lin Yi was taken aback.
So this wasn't their first time here; they even have a base here, with the fire stones arranged so neatly.
Right in front of the shelf, a green duck, about half the height of a person, was already squatting.
The duck's feathers were glossy and smooth, so green they looked like they had just been pulled out of a dye vat, and its black bean-like eyes darted around.
When it saw people coming, it didn't hide, but just tilted its head to look at them.
When Lin Yi approached, it moved aside to make room for him.
Zhao Ning frowned: "I'll go catch a new one."
Lin Yi stopped her, pointing at the green duck: "Isn't this a ready-made dragon duck?"
Gan Niannian quickly explained, "It's different. It comes here to freeload, and it's done it several times already."
Lin Yi looked at the duck with a strange expression: "It's freeloading? You guys are eating roast duck, and it's eating too?"
"correct."
Gan Niannian nodded matter-of-factly: "It eats more than any of us. All of us combined can't eat as much as it does."
Lin Yi remained silent for a long time before finally blurting out with an absurd expression, "That's pretty perverted."
However, every time Gan Niannian prepares food, she attracts some strange animals. This was the case in Long County before, and it's still the same now that she's in Tian County.
Gan Niannian started to get busy, while Zhao Ning went out to catch ducks.
The green duck remained squatting in the same spot, sometimes staring intently at the barbecue grill, sometimes following Gan Niannian's movements, its gaze as focused as if it were practicing some kind of peerless martial art.
While they were busy, Lin Yi took out the high-level divine equipment treasure chest he had just acquired.
After it was opened, the light dissipated, and a token floated inside.
It is entirely blackish-gold in color, about the size of a palm, with rounded and smooth edges and corners. The words "Heavenly Punishment" are engraved on the front.
The back is covered with dense patterns, like some kind of ancient runes, with faint shimmering light moving within them.
Lin Yi immediately used the Wuhou Star Chart to make the assessment.
"Heavenly Punishment Token, a high-level divine equipment, can be synthesized."
"Divine Equipment Effect: Increases Yuan Shen strength by 30% and comes with the active skill Heavenly Punishment."
"Heavenly Punishment: Summons a bolt of heavenly lightning to strike a single target, causing damage to the primordial spirit twice the strength of the host's primordial spirit."
Lin Yi frowned slightly after reading it.
A 30% attribute boost wouldn't even qualify as mid-to-low level among high-level divine equipment; it would be considered bottom-tier.
Lin Yi possesses far more high-level divine equipment than this, whether it's the Royal Authority Stele, the Forbidden Weapon Talisman, the Seven Fading Fireflies, or even the Phoenix Cry Blade he acquired earliest.
As for the active skill Heavenly Punishment, it looks quite intimidating at first glance, dealing twice the damage to the primordial spirit.
But if a real fight breaks out, which expert of the same level doesn't have some means of survival?
This level of damage might be enough for a sneak attack, but a head-on confrontation might not be enough to kill it instantly.
"It's a bit watery."
Lin Yi muttered something to himself, and then he saw the note below.
"The Heavenly Punishment Token can be upgraded."
"With continuous infusion of primordial spirit power, the strength of the primordial spirit can be increased by up to 80%."
"The Heavenly Punishment effect is correspondingly enhanced, and can cause up to five times the damage to a primordial spirit."
Lin Yi's eyelids twitched.
80% increase in Yuan Shen power! Five times the damage of Yuan Shen!
This has far exceeded the scope of normal high-level divine equipment; calling it pseudo-immortal divine equipment is not an exaggeration!
It's at least as good as the Mind-Stabilizing Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand!
With five times the damage of a primordial spirit, coupled with his already top-tier primordial spirit foundation, 99% of people of the same level could not withstand a single blow.
If the opponent has a slight weakness in their spiritual energy, it's not impossible to even kill someone of a higher level.
Lin Yi immediately put away the Heavenly Punishment Order, feeling completely satisfied.
The only remaining question is how long it will take to raise it to its maximum level.
This thing looks like a bottomless pit that devours one's own soul.
Even in its current state, combined with the Mind-Controlling Demon-Subduing Pestle's possession by the Mind-Controlling Demon-Subduing Pestle, a sudden Heavenly Punishment would be enough to give anyone a hard time.
The nature of spiritual attacks is that they are extremely difficult to defend against.
Lin Yi casually took out the map of Tianjun given to him by Li Jinwang.
The overall combat strength of Tianjun is 730.
It has increased significantly compared to before.
With the subjugation of Long Juefeng and the recent teaching of the Dharma Aspect Secret Technique, along with the control of loopholes in the race track, the various forces have been largely integrated.
At this rate, it could improve even further.
