Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 229: The Second Light Test, the First Battle of the Competition
Lin Yi really had no good feelings towards Xu Tianran, who was in cahoots with the evil soul master, so he used this method without any hesitation.

Within the ultimate life, ultimate death was immediately added.

It stayed at the place where Xu Tianran's limbs were broken. As long as Lin Yi wanted, the ultimate death would erupt. Even because of the meaning of reincarnation that Lin Yi understood, the ultimate death could extract vitality and transform it into the attribute of death.

If Xu Tianran had hesitated even a little when Lin Yi unleashed this move, this trace of extreme death would have been enough to put Xu Tianran to death.

Even though Xu Tianran has the soul power of a Titled Douluo, he also has a set of top-notch defensive soul guides.

Lin Yi was a little surprised when he learned that Xu Tianran had a titled cultivation level.

As the Crown Prince of Sun and Moon, and now the Regent of the country, Xu Tianran must have a lot of high-tech soul guide devices to protect his life. He is also protected by various guards and soul guide formations around him. He has really taken the protection of his own safety to the extreme.

But a strong fortress is always breached from the inside. Lin Yi's trace of ultimate death soul power is not only inconspicuous, but also wrapped in ultimate life. Unless a strong man at the Extreme Douluo level sweeps across Xu Tianran's body, it is impossible to be noticed.

But since he knew Xu Tianran's eunuch status, Lin Yi concluded that Xu Tianran would not allow anyone to scan his body unscrupulously, which provided the greatest insurance for Lin Yi's methods.

At any time, as long as Lin Yi had the thought, he could kill Xu Tianran, and then rely on the pure Sun and Moon royal bloodline and the help of the Holy Spirit Church to successfully grow up and ascend the throne to become the Lord of the Sun and Moon.

As for where the Sun and Moon clan believed this bloodline came from and how its identity was determined, that was not Lin Yi's concern.

When Lin Yi became the only choice to inherit the throne, there were great scholars who argued on his behalf.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi slowly disconnected that trace of soul power. Xu Tianran felt inexplicably nervous at this moment, and was even less able to pay attention to the abnormality of that trace of soul power.

Lin Yi sighed, and Xu Tianran's heart trembled.

This feeling of having hope but having it cut off can probably only be understood by those who have experienced it.

Xu Tianran's eyes were deep, and a sense of cruelty suddenly arose in his heart.

Juzi asked, "Son, what's the result? Do you have a way to cure His Highness's leg disease?"

Xu Tianran's face remained expressionless, but his ears had already pricked up. Judging from the violent mood in Xu Tianran's heart at the moment, if he heard bad news, the consequences would be very serious.

Lin Yi sighed again, keeping everyone in a state of suspense, before saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince's legs are in trouble!"

This sigh made Xu Tianran happy instead of angry.

Difficult means it is possible, not impossible.

He, Xu Tianran, still has hope of becoming a complete man!

People who are often castrated know how great a stimulation it is for a eunuch.

Back then, it was an old man’s quest to find his roots that caused the bloody storm.

Xu Tianran's gaze towards Lin Yi unconsciously became hot, "It doesn't matter if it's difficult, just tell me, if this is successful, I will reward you handsomely."

When he suddenly heard that he still had hope, even with Xu Tianran's temperament, he couldn't control his emotions.

After saying that, Xu Tianran finally calmed down and waited calmly for Lin Yi's answer.

Lin Yi pondered for a moment before saying, "Your Highness has been injured for too long. The doctor who treated your Highness's wound is very skilled, and the wound has healed very well. If you want your flesh and blood to regenerate, you can only break it open. The total amount of vitality required is extremely exaggerated. In other words, it requires the vitality of at least six Titled Douluo-level soul masters."

"Moreover, he must be a Titled Douluo in his prime, or an equal amount of life-attribute treasures."

When these words came out, not only Xu Tianran and Juzi, but even Zhongli Wu couldn't help but gasp.

"Is it so costly?"

Orange couldn't help but ask, and this was also what Xu Tianran wanted to ask.

Lin Yi nodded.

"Indeed, I don't know the Crown Prince's cultivation level, but from what I just observed, he should be quite strong. This is because the limbs that need to be regenerated must have a certain strength. Otherwise, under the impact of His Highness's soul power, the new limbs will not be able to withstand it, causing His Highness to suffer secondary damage.

Secondly, those life forces themselves are not pure enough. In the process of being transformed into ultimate life by me, there will be a certain loss. And when treating Your Highness, since Your Highness cannot absorb those life forces perfectly, there will be a certain loss. Six titles is already a conservative estimate. "

Juzi was silent. Xu Tianran didn't know what to say for a moment.

It is difficult. It is indeed difficult.

But Xu Tianran finally grasped this hope and would never give up.

God knows how painful it is for a mentally healthy and normal man to have a beauty like Orange by his side every day, but be able to only look at her and not eat her.

Xu Tianran has made up his mind to gather these Titled Douluo at all costs.

Moreover, to be on the safe side, some room must be left. After all, Lin Yi didn't know that there were still vital parts that needed to be restored.

If in the end one's vitality is insufficient and one cannot recover, or if one only partially recovers, it would be better not to have heard of this hope.

Upon seeing this, Zhongli Wu immediately said, "The Holy Spirit Church is keeping an eye out for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xu Tianran couldn't help but show a sense of closeness towards Zhongli Wu in his eyes, "Trouble you, Imperial Master."

Then he continued, "I am sorry to bother the Imperial Master and the Holy Son today. When I am fully prepared, I will ask the Holy Son for help again. As long as the Holy Son can heal my injuries, I will do whatever the Holy Son asks for."

Without letting Lin Yi respond, Zhongli Wu took over the conversation and said, "Then I will act on your behalf and thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in advance."

Then Zhongli Wu took Lin Yi away.

Inside the house, Xu Tianran suddenly asked, "Do you think it's credible?"

Of course, this topic is very sensitive. Among the people under the prince, I am the only one who can and dares to answer this question.

After pondering for a few moments, Juzi finally said, "Juzi thinks that what this Saint of Fate Demon said about being able to cure your highness's...injuries should be true. The people of the Holy Spirit Church don't have the guts to tease your highness like this. As for the requirement of the vitality of six Titled Douluo-level soul masters, Juzi thinks there must be some water in it."

Xu Tianran sneered, "There must be some. Evil soul masters are just a bunch of filthy people who can't change their bad habits. If they have such an opportunity, they will definitely not let it go."

"So what are we going to do...?"

"Prepare as he said, the more the better. If you want the horse to run, you can't be stingy with the fodder."

Orange responded respectfully, but sneered in his heart.

It sounds very high-sounding, but in fact, I just don't dare to bet on its truth.

After all, the Life Demon can gamble because he has the Holy Spirit Church as his backing, so he won't lose his life, but Xu Tianran can't afford to gamble.

That's about a man's dignity.

I dare not gamble, I cannot gamble, and I don’t want to gamble...

On Zhongli Wu's side, he also understood that the number Lin Yi had just reported was inflated.

After returning to the main base in Mingdu, Zhongli Wu couldn't help but ask, "You lied to Xu Tianran and said you needed six titles. How many do you actually need?"

Lin Yi did not hide it either.

"As long as I want, I don't need any one."

Zhongli Wu was stunned. He thought that Lin Yi was just bold enough to take a kickback and would at most report twice as much. However, he didn't expect that Lin Yi was much more ruthless than he imagined. There was no cost, only profit.

"Don't need the vitality of a Titled Douluo?"

Even though Lin Yi had already given the answer, Zhongli Wu couldn't help but ask again.

Lin Yi didn't reply, but just nodded indifferently.

Zhongli Wu was silent for a moment. Even he had to say that Lin Yi was very brave.

No matter what, Xu Tianran is the Crown Prince who is currently the Regent of the Sun-Moon Empire. Lin Yi actually dared to lie to him like this without showing any fear. Even though Zhongli Wu knew that the Holy Spirit Church and Xu Tianran were just mutually beneficial, he couldn't help but be surprised by Lin Yi's actions.

"Why?"

This question comes from Zhongli Wu's true heart.

What's up with this?

Lin Yi looked at the Holy Spirit Leader strangely. Isn't it normal to trick him?

"Master, the Holy Spirit Church and Xu Tianran have always been in a mutually beneficial relationship. My Holy Spirit Church even has plans to replace him. Isn't it normal to plot against him?
Besides, I didn't let him despair, I just made the conditions a little harsher. But with Xu Tianran's ability, it's not difficult to do it. It just depends on whether he is willing to pay the price."

Lin Yi's expression was very calm. Although he was now a fate demon, these words came from his heart.

Is there any morality to talk about when dealing with enemies?

How could justice be such a pedantic principle?

Shaking his head, Lin Yi added a reason that fit his identity as a fate demon.

"Besides..." Lin Yi glanced at Zhongli Wu, which made Zhongli Wu feel a little guilty for some reason.

"I have never tried the vitality of a Titled Douluo-level soul master. Now that Xu Tianran, this sucker, has come to my door, I will naturally not let him go."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhongli Wu suddenly laughed awkwardly.

It was under the guidance of Lin Yi's words that he remembered the conditions he promised to the life demon to join the Holy Spirit Church. The Holy Spirit Church helped Lin Yi recruit suitable soul masters and provided him with delicious vitality.

What the Fate Demon showed the greatest interest in was Lin Yi's vitality. Unfortunately, the Holy Spirit Church was unable to take action against Lin Yi.

Lin Yi is a fate demon, so of course he knows that the Holy Spirit Church cannot do it. Such a request is not only in line with his character, but also only to increase his bargaining chips in front of Zhongli Wu.

After all, Zhongli Wu did not meet the original conditions.

Now, when Lin Yi brought up the old matter again, Zhongli Wu's momentum instantly dropped a lot.

If the Holy Spirit Church doesn't help, then it's okay for me to be self-reliant, right?
Moreover, for someone like Xu Tianran who is suspicious and sinister but holds a high position, completing the task too easily would arouse suspicion.

This kind of people believe that expensive diseases should be treated with expensive medicine, no matter how expensive it is.

If Lin Yi had readily claimed he could cure the illness, Xu Tianran might have become suspicious of Lin Yi and the Holy Spirit Cult. Therefore, a precondition that is extremely difficult to achieve, yet still somewhat feasible, must be used.

It is said that what comes easily is never easy to cherish. Xu Tianran took great pains to complete the preliminary preparations, so he would naturally have more instinctive trust in Lin Yi's subsequent operations.

After all, the sunk costs are there.

Lin Yi did not mention Xu Tianran's physical defect to Zhongli Wu. There was no need to do so, and it had no impact on the overall situation. The purpose of the Holy Spirit Church was to take away everything after Xu Tianran had accomplished everything. It didn't matter whether Xu Tianran was a man or not.

Feeling a little embarrassed by Lin Yi's words, Zhongli Wu said hello and left the Mingdu headquarters.

Lin Yi was naturally exercising his duties and powers as the Son of God in the stronghold.

During this period, Lin Yi knew all the information collected about the participating teams and the recent major and minor events in Mingdu.

The moment Lin Yi put down the information and walked out of the room, the slightly noisy base suddenly became quiet.

It was a bit abrupt, as if the mute button was pressed.

It was as if the class teacher with a sullen face suddenly walked into the classroom where students from another world were studying...

The evil soul masters continued to do their own things, but they moved very lightly unconsciously, for fear of being noticed by Lin Yi, the Holy Son of the Fate Demon.

However, Lin Yi didn't care about these things. He waved his hand and sent out several soul powers. Some fell to the ground, but six or seven happened to fall on the evil soul master.

The evil soul masters watching this scene around didn't dare to breathe, not understanding what the Son of God was doing.

Afterwards, everyone understood the role of those soul powers.

Lin Yi raised his hand, and several branches emerged, piercing through the people marked by soul power one by one in front of the horrified gazes of those people.

Under the absorption of life force, several people instantly turned into debris and scattered on the ground.

With Lin Yi's current seventh-ring cultivation level, they couldn't even resist.

The evil soul masters watching this scene around had fear in their eyes that was about to overflow, but they still dared not make a sound, for fear of being noticed.

However, there was a seven-ring evil soul master who had just arrived at the headquarters and knew nothing. When he saw Lin Yi suddenly kill several people, he instinctively made a puzzled sound.

The next moment, this seven-ring evil soul master knew nothing.

The people around him saw it clearly.

The moment he uttered the sound, a branch flew over, pierced through him, and instantly absorbed all of his vitality.

Another pile of residue.

The surroundings were extremely attentive to clothing and appearance. If it weren't for the somewhat gloomy decorations of the stronghold, no one would know that these people were evil soul masters just by looking at their attire.

And these are exactly the results that Lin Yi forced out in the past.

Without the ability to identify people based on their clothing, Lin Yi just chose people based on chance.

Later, when Lin Yi's real body returned to Shrek and his clone went into seclusion, these evil soul masters finally relaxed for a while. However, after Lin Yi appeared again, these evil soul masters once again recalled the fear of being dominated.

Now everyone has understood the role of the soul power at the beginning.

It's like drawing lots, whoever it falls on will die.

It still depends on luck, but it is more transparent and fairer than before.

After all, it was purely based on Lin Yi's intentions. Perhaps he sympathized with these poor guys, so he came up with this idea.

After killing the seven-ring evil soul master who spoke, the familiar voice of the God of Light suddenly sounded in Lin Yi's mind, but for some reason, the voice was without any ups and downs and emotion.

"Kill five evil soul masters of the same level, complete the first test of light, and be rewarded with a 5% increase in affinity with the God of Light and a level increase in soul power."

But Lin Yi's test of light was completed.

However, there was still no movement in the dark test. Lin Yi also understood that among the people who were marked by soul power before, only four were seven-ring evil soul saints. It was thanks to the seven-ring evil soul master who spoke that the five evil soul masters of the same level required for the light test were gathered.

And the reward was quite to Lin Yi's liking.

Without doing those empty things, it is a direct improvement of soul power. Although it is only one level, it saves Lin Yi a lot of hard work.

Moreover, there is also a test of darkness.

The rewards for the light and dark assessments should be roughly the same, and the consciousness of the God of Light is in Lin Yi's spiritual space. If you are not satisfied with anything, just say it.

We are all family.

Without paying any more attention to the panicked evil soul masters, Lin Yi turned around and left the base, heading towards Mingyue Hotel.

Although the Holy Spirit Sect did not participate in the previous competition, as an ally, the rooms that Sun and Moon arranged for the Holy Spirit Team were not bad.

Of course, it is still a little worse than Shrek Academy on the top floor.

Inside the room, Lin Yi focused his mental energy on the bright mark between his eyebrows, sensing the content of the second test.

"The Second Test of Light:
Light represents justice. Kill three evil soul masters at the Soul Douluo level, use light to dispel evil and purify the world. The mission deadline is six months.

The penalty for mission failure is a deduction of three levels of soul power."

Compared to the Guangming test, the difficulty is slightly higher, there is a time limit, and there are penalties for failure.

But Lin Yi didn't mind. These were the minimum requirements for the divine tests. No matter how much the God of Light took care of Lin Yi, the divine tests issued and the rewards for completing them had to comply with the basic rules of the inheritance of the divine throne.

The God of Light can only reduce the difficulty of the assessment to the minimum and increase the rewards to the maximum within his authority to help Lin Yi grow quickly.

This kind of killing mission is really the easiest task for Lin Yi with his current strength.

The only difficulty in this kind of mission is searching for the traces of the evil soul masters at the Soul Douluo level, but this is not a difficult task for Lin Yi, the demon saint of the Holy Spirit Sect.

There is no rush to complete the first test of darkness and the second test of light. There is plenty of time.

But the competition has already begun.

On the eastern outskirts of Mingdu, tens of thousands of soldiers maintained order in the stadium and separated the spectators into different areas.

On the north side of the arena was a large metal platform. However, the most noteworthy aspect was the competition venue prepared by the Sun-Moon Empire.

The competition stage is ten meters high and over a hundred meters in diameter. The most amazing thing is that the entire stage is a metallic silver-white color.

Even though it is just wrapped in metal, one cannot help but sigh at the wealth of the Sun-Moon Empire.

After all, considering the strength of this year's contestants, this competition stage will definitely not be able to withstand the aftermath of the attack. At that time, neither repair nor maintenance will be an easy task.

There is a circle of grooves around the competition stage, and the soul power light curtain rises into the sky, with no end in sight, and is close to the competition stage.

In this competition, in addition to the sects participating, the Sun-Moon Empire also changed a rule in a tough manner, that is, there is no limit on height in the competition, which is why there is a soul power light curtain that cannot be sealed.

There is no doubt that such an arrangement is beneficial to the Sun and Moon teams who are accustomed to using flying soul guides in combat.

Of course, in the final analysis, the competition still depends on strength.

Further out, a series of soul-guided screens were fixed on a high platform, over 20 square meters in size, and were obviously used to broadcast the scenes from the competition.

The screens stretch endlessly, hundreds of them in number.

After all, the Sun-Moon Empire, which has the most advanced soul guide technology, actually has such technology.

The rest area on the east side is also filled with a sense of differential treatment.

The closer the team is to the front, the better the rest conditions, just like the arrangement at Mingyue Hotel.

The arrangements of the Sun-Moon Empire show the difference between strength and fame everywhere. To sum it up in one sentence, only the strong are worthy of having everything.

After all the participating teams took their seats, Xu Tianran and Juzi had also arrived at the rostrum on the north side. The black muzzles below the rostrum were all facing outward, guarding the safety of the Sun and Moon Prince.

Following Long Xiaoyao's call of "Silence", Xu Tianran gave a brief speech and then ordered the competition to begin.

Shrek Academy, where Lin Yi's clone was located, directly obtained the privilege of a bye in the first round because of its status as the previous champion, and obtained all twelve points.

But to be honest, Lin Yi didn't care about the rules of this competition.

No matter what the rules are, defeat all opponents and you are the champion.

Studying the rules, in the final analysis, comes down to one thing: lack of strength.

Not only the clone, but Lin Yi's original body also thought the same way.

In the rest area of ​​the Holy Spirit Team, Lin Yi quietly waited for the opponent of the Holy Spirit Church.

The Holy Spirit Church's match was the last on the morning of the second day.

The Holy Spirit Sect versus Tiandu College.

Everyone at Shrek instinctively paid attention to this match. After all, that was the life-demon that was once able to challenge Lin Yi.

What's more, this is an evil soul master sect.

Back then, outside Shrek City, the Fate Demon's last move severely injured Lin Yi, shocking countless people in Shrek.

Afterwards, the life demon fell into a space crack and his life or death was unknown, but he unexpectedly appeared again and became a contestant in this competition.

That day at the registration office, although the fight between Ming Yao and Lin Yi was simple, everyone knew that Ming Yao's strength was definitely not bad.

I just don’t know if we can see the Fate Demon take action in this game of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Perhaps it was luck, but after hearing the referee's announcement of the contestants entering the arena, Lin Yi, disguised as the fate demon, slowly stood up and walked onto the competition stage with his cane, under the somewhat surprised gazes of the Shrek crowd...
