Chapter 936: 803, Gold Rank Challenge Card_1
Being called by name felt even stranger...
Chen Xin scratched his head, thinking about asking Chen Bi to revert to calling him master, but then he reconsidered and simply stayed quiet, reluctant to be seen as overly fussy by the other.
Indeed, why get entangled in these trifles as an old grandpa? He shook his head and followed Chen Bi to the stands.
"Master... Chen, Chen Xin, do you choose to have me assist you in attacking, or should I attack on your behalf?"
Chen Bi also nearly failed to switch the forms of address in time.
Chen Xin hesitated, "If you attack on my behalf... will it not count as my damage?"
Lin Yi: "It won't affect it; the Artifact Spirit is rather special. Everything she does will be linked to you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bi said with a smile, "Then master can enjoy the fruits of victory and watch Chen Bi attack! Having been in the Jade Pendant for over two thousand years, Chen Bi also wishes to show off her skills for once."
"That works, then I'll trouble you... Also, just call me Chen Xin, you probably forgot just now..."
Chen Xin felt as muddled with the matter of addressing as any muggle would.
"Oh right, sorry."
Chen Bi smiled apologetically.
Chen Xin gave a slight nod, glanced behind, and then quietly stepped back, leaving the "battlefield" to Chen Bi.
Gu Rong couldn't resist commenting on the scene on the stage: "How come Chen Xin always has such good luck with women? He was just with Sect..."
He cut himself off mid-sentence when he realized he had spoken a bit too loudly and had been discussing it with Emperor Xueye.
Sect Master Ning indeed glanced in this direction, scaring Gu Rong into hastily coughing twice to shift the topic, "This youngster, tsk tsk, is no ordinary one."
On the stands, Chen Xin felt a familiar aura.
It was actually sword intent.
But why did he also hear a dragon's cry that rose and fell intermittently?
A dragon?
As if struck by a thought, Chen Xin immediately took out the ancestral Jade Pendant from his chest and examined it closely, only to discover a lifelike dragon coiled in its center!
Chen Bi was actually able to harness the power of a dragon!
The girl in the green dress standing in front pointed her slender sword finger forward. Setting aside the skill itself, her stance was strikingly similar to Chen Xin's, as if she had already committed the movement to heart.
"Sword, come!"
Chen Xin was observing when Chen Bi's clear voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts, he looked around for the whereabouts of the sword, but to his surprise, the sound of the unsheathed sword came from his own body!
"Clang!"
The Seven Kills Sword soared into the sky, breaking away from Chen Xin at that moment, quickly landing in front of Chen Bi, leaving Chen Xin bewildered as he watched the scene unfold before him.
Chen Bi's black hair danced wildly in the wind, countless emerald green little dragons swirling up and down around her body, and the Seven Kills Sword erected in front of her spun maniacally, the surging Gang Qi causing a tingling sensation on Chen Xin's cheeks.
In an instant, all the floating little dragons burrowed into the Seven Kills Sword, turning the sword from its hilt down and gradually coating it with an emerald sheen.
Chen Bi pointed the sword forward, and the erect Seven Kills Sword immediately turned sideways towards Lin Yi, its blade still rotating rapidly. An emerald dragon-shaped phantom adhered to the entire blade, its mouth wide open. Accompanied by the increasingly resonant dragon cry, the whole Seven Kills Sword shone with green light, and in an instant, shot towards Lin Yi like an arrow released from a bow!
At that moment, green bamboo leaves started to flutter down from the air, giving the impression that each leaf was as sharp as a knife rather than ordinary bamboo leaves.
"What a mix of attributes..."
Chen Xin watched, a bit dazed, murmuring to himself.
The emerald sword pierced towards Lin Yi's chest, and the torrent of energy exploded, instantly transforming into countless fluttering green bamboo leaves falling in front of Lin Yi, and then vanishing after a few seconds.
Chen Xin raised his hand, and the Seven Kills Sword reappeared in his palm.
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"
He called out lowly, and the red Sword Spirit Gan Jiang emerged behind Chen Xin. For a moment, Gan Jiang curiously glanced at Chen Bi, presumably wondering how Chen Bi, as an Artifact Spirit, existed.
Clearly, Chen Bi, the Artifact Spirit, was of a higher rank than him, the Sword Spirit; on the matter of possessing a physical form, Gan Jiang was far inferior to Chen Bi.
The phantom of Gan Jiang appeared for that brief moment, then merged back into the countless Seven Kills Sword qi.
The surge of Damage Rebound that came their way had been shredded by Myriad Swords Return to Origin before it even reached Chen Bi, ultimately dissipating in the air.
Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Blood Loss: 584637]
[Remaining Health: 883014052356]
[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]
[Random Reward: Challenge Card]
[Host Reward: Challenge Card*3]
Seeing the rewards, Lin Yi was momentarily stunned, as he seemed to have never encountered a Challenge Card among Gold rewards before; items that could upgrade reward levels like Prop Cards had previously appeared to only exist at the Red Level.
Black Level Challenge Cards, win and the reward is upgraded, lose and the reward is downgraded.
Red Level Challenge Cards, win and the reward is upgraded, lose and it remains unchanged.
What about the Gold Rank?
Lin Yi opened the reward notes to take a look, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Gold Rank Challenge Cards, win and your reward goes up two levels...
Such big benefits?
However, knowing the System's sly nature, Lin Yi felt that the Challenge Card might only appear at Gold Junior; otherwise, if it appeared at Gold Intermediate, winning would elevate it to a jackpot reward.
"Damage 584637, Gold Junior, your reward is one Challenge Card."
After explaining the rules of the Gold Rank Challenge Card, Chen Xin's eyes instantly lit up.
"I absolutely have to challenge this! If I don't, am I even human? But the challenge will probably be tough, right? After all, winning brings such great benefits."
Lin Yi: "It depends on the kind of challenge you draw."
"Oh, okay..."
Chen Xin suddenly felt a bit nervous.
At this moment, Lin Yi wasn't idle, either; he was observing the panel that was drawing the challenge for Chen Xin.
Soon, the contents on the panel froze, and four characters that were quite familiar to Lin Yi appeared.
It was the name of a game, and truth be told, he often played it with several friends back on the Blue Planet, called "Who is the Undercover."
After the draw, Lin Yi relayed the content of the challenge to Chen Xin and, knowing that Chen Xin and the others surely wouldn't understand the rules, immediately explained the rules in detail. (If you don't know the rules, search them up)
Three minutes later.
Lin Yi: "Do you understand now?"
Chen Xin nodded, her expression semi-understanding, and she quickly confirmed: "So, if the word I draw is different from everyone else, then I am the undercover, right?"
Lin Yi: "Right, in a moment I will randomly choose seven other people to participate in the game with you. Just like the previous rules, if the team each of those seven people is on wins, they can also get a chance to upgrade their reward. Have you all understood the rules?"
Everyone nodded in unison, this game was indeed a novel experience for them, they were not only looking forward to the game itself but also very much hoping they would be chosen.
Lin Yi: "Next, I'm going to draw the other seven people."
