Bring Him to Me, and Put Him Down

Although the island lord of Constant Island just spoke lightly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

However, he had dealt with the Lord of Constant Island for countless Universal Epoch and knew this veteran Dao Lord's temperament all too well.

The owner of Constant Island rarely praises people.

The most outstanding talents on the inner island, the seeds that all the major powers had devoted all their efforts to cultivating, were at most described as "acceptable" in his words.

"For the island lord to personally thank me... what exactly did this little guy do? Oh well, I'll get this favor first."

Thinking of this, Lan Chen subtly turned his head slightly and replied with a smile, "Constant Island has cultivated countless powerful individuals for the entire Seventh Constant Domain. We, the Constant Guard, will naturally do our best to help Constant Island in any way we can."

The old man smiled slightly and said nothing more. The dark blue mist around him rippled slightly before returning to silence.

Lan Chen withdrew his gaze and immediately activated an extremely ancient dark gold rune in his consciousness, saying in his heart, "Luo Mi, investigate a Constant Guard named Lin Yi and tell me what he did on Constant Island."

Although the Constant Guard generally do not have a direct subordinate relationship, the Inspector and the Commander each have a quota of direct subordinates, and one can become a direct subordinate of the Constant Guard if one wishes.

After all, it's impossible for the inspectors and Commander everything themselves.

However, usually, the number of direct subordinates under the inspectors and Commander is full, and they will not be replaced unless there are special circumstances.

Luo Mi is Lan Chen's direct inspector.

Soon, a voice tinged with surprise rang in Lan Chen's mind.

"Lin Yi? This Lin Yi... wasn't he someone you arranged to go to Constant Island to help?"

Lan Chen said irritably, "I don't even know who he is."

Luo Mi was even more surprised upon hearing this. "Since it wasn't your arrangement, why didn't Wen Xiao report to you about such a promising talent? That's rather strange. You know Wen Xiao's personality; whenever he produces a good talent, he always wants to report it to you immediately. Besides, this Lin Yi... is indeed somewhat different."

So it was Wen Xiao's...

Lan Chen immediately understood and replied, "Wen Xiao accepted a mission I assigned some time ago, and he's not currently in the Seventh Constant Domain."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mi suddenly realized, "No wonder, I thought it was your arrangement, so I didn't say anything."

He paused, then continued, "Let me briefly explain Lin Yi's situation on Constant Island. After entering the Inner Island of Constant Island as an exchange student, he first accepted a high-level research trial mission: repairing a fragment of Ancient Law Inscriptions. That mission was issued by Eric Vandro, Constant Source Realm Mid-Rank, and the repair time limit was originally over a million Epoch. However, Lin Yi completed it in less than 30,000 Epoch. Afterwards, the deputy island lord of Constant Island Xi Mo, personally designated him as the sole core member of the seventh phase of the Eternal Source Ring Trial, with the goal of observing and recording the Law Inscriptions exposed during the operation of the Eternal Source Ring in the team trial."

"Just now, Lin Yi achieved first place in the solo trial of the Eternal Source Ring, crushing all three stages and breaking the record for the fastest completion of the Eternal Source Ring since its construction. We estimate that he will at least Eternal Source Ring the second stage of the team trial, and there is even a close 30% chance that he can directly clear all three stages."

Upon hearing this, Lan Chen immediately understood.

No wonder the owner of Constant Island specifically thanked him.

The research tasks related to restoring Ancient Law Inscriptions are basically undertaken by Constant Island. According to Luo Mi's judgment, even if they can only pass the second stage of the team this time, Constant Island can restore at least 10% more of the Ancient Law Inscriptions technology from the Eternal Source Ring.

If you can get through the third stage, you'll most likely be able to complete all the repairs directly.

At that time, Constant Island will be able to obtain an extremely large quota of rare resources, some of which will even be of great use to Dao Lord.

Lan Chen leaned back in his chair and remained silent for a moment.

A thoughtful light shone deep within his eyes, which were shrouded in a pale golden mist.

"Luo Mi," he thought to himself, "Bring Lin Yi to see me after his exchange program on Constant Island ends."

"Yes, sir," Luo Mi replied.

Meanwhile, in the Eternal Source Ring, a rest area.

Lin Yi was fairly satisfied with his performance, especially the power of the Silent Nether Soul Fire, which made him feel that his previous hardships had not been in vain.

After calming his mind, he decided to continue cultivating <Genesis Soul Source Slaying>.

Because according to his prediction, it was not certain that he would be able to break through to the eighth level of the Eternal Source Realm in 100,000 Epoch.

If one can successfully cultivate the <Soul Source Slaying> before the team trial begins, it will be equivalent to having an extra real trump card.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yi sank his attention into the depths of his Soul Origin.

Spiritual Enlightenment Qi erupted.

Time slips away unnoticed in the throes of intense focus.

Lin Yi was completely immersed in the secret structure of the <Genesis Soul Source Slaying> technique.

More than 20,000 Epoch later, countless dark purple threads emerged from the depths of the Soul Origin, weaving a complete arcane framework around the soul's core.

The framework is shaped like an inverted pyramid, with its base suspended above the seven Chaos Seal Pact, and its apex pointing straight into the void, like an ancient tower that has finally awakened after sleeping for countless years.

<Genesis Soul Source Slaying>, completed.

Lin Yi let out a long breath.

He silently sensed the operation of the inverted pyramid-shaped secret structure within his Soul Origin, and after confirming that everything was stable, he closed his eyes again.

After all, this requires a certain level of understanding, so it's best not to try it unless absolutely necessary.

Next, Lin Yi continued to advance his understanding of the laws.

The Spiritual Enlightenment Qi reignited.

Time continued to flow quietly in the midst of deep cultivation.

More than 20,000 Epoch later, 61.9%.

More than 20,000 Epoch later, his comprehension of the laws reached 63.7%.

In the blink of an eye, another 38,000 Epoch have passed.

On this day, the grand voice rang out once again.

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes.

The team trial is about to begin.

He silently assessed his comprehension of the laws.

66.8%

This progress is slightly slower than he initially expected, but considering the difficulty of comprehending the laws after reaching the advanced level of the Eternal Source Realm, this result is already quite good.

"Not bad," Lin Yi muttered to himself, then stood up.

Soon, a beam of pure white light descended from the sky, enveloping Lin Yi completely.

The surrounding scenery blurred abruptly under the beam of light, then suddenly became clear again.

When the beam of light dissipated, Lin Yi found himself standing in a completely different space.

Below us was an extremely wide circular platform.

The platform was paved with a dark blue crystal, the surface of which was covered with densely packed Law Inscriptions inscriptions in concentric circles, spreading outwards from the center of the platform.

The platform floated in a grayish-white void, with no boundary markers for reference, only countless transparent Law Inscriptions slowly moving through the void.

Lin Yi's gaze swept quickly across the Ancient Law Inscriptions Law Inscriptions, which were the ones exposed during the Eternal Source Ring Team Trial.

"However, these inscriptions haven't been officially launched yet, so it's not the time to study them in detail."

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at other parts of the platform.

As he landed, beams of light began to fall from other locations on the platform.

One after another, the beams of light all settled in a short moment, and after the light dissipated, ninety-nine figures appeared in various parts of the platform.

Lin Yi noticed that as soon as his teammates appeared, they looked at him immediately, and their gazes were all very complicated.

He knows why.

These trial participants all had clones on Constant Island, and they were equally aware of their performance in the three trials on their own.

Lin Yi thought to himself, "Judging from their expressions, they probably have a lot to say..."

Sure enough, just as he had this thought, E Lan came over.

His misty, bluish-gray eyes sized Lin Yi up and down, then a very low hum came from the depths of the mist, like a laugh or a sigh.

Brother Lin Yi...

E Lan said, "When You Na and I were practicing before the trial started, we were wondering how you would get through the third stage..."

He paused, his grayish-blue misty eyes narrowing slightly, "And then you just swept through the third level, and everyone's talking about who was protecting whom, it's really..."

You Na crossed her arms, her Amber eyes blazing with an intense, almost tangible light. "To be honest, I initially thought the team trial would definitely require our protection, but... after the trial ends, let's have a proper fight!"

She deliberately kept a straight face, but the jubilant flashing of the inscriptions on her face betrayed her true feelings.

This proud prodigy of the Silent Ash Cosmic Domain, known for his straightforwardness, could never hide his words or his thoughts.

Even Tai Huan chimed in, adding casually, "I watched the whole thing with my clone. Although what those people said in Constant Island Square was somewhat exaggerated, your self-created composite flame was indeed very impressive."

He said this in such a calm tone that it was as if he were stating a perfectly ordinary fact.

But those familiar with Tai Huan know that it is extremely rare for this notoriously aloof prodigy to make such a comment.

After hearing these words, Lin Yi immediately understood.

Just as I suspected.

He could imagine that at this very moment, the light screens in the Central Plaza of Inner Island of Constant Island were still broadcasting the Dynamic of the hundred or so people during their team trial in real time, and perhaps even their words were being transmitted to the square without missing a single one.

This damn public execution.

Lin Yi mentally complained, but maintained a perfectly restrained smile on his face.

"Please don't make fun of me, everyone. The reason I cleared the solo levels so quickly was mainly because I had the advantage of a lower initial level. But team levels are different, so the next three levels will depend on you all."

That's the absolute truth.

These nine prodigies at the peak of the Eternal Source Realm have each condensed at least seven divine-grade seals, and their total number of illusory seals should be over twenty. Their strength is absolutely formidable.

But E Lan waved his hand dismissively.

"Brother Lin Yi, you don't need to be so polite. Your strength may be slightly weaker than ours at the Perfection stage for now, but it's definitely not much weaker."

He paused, then changed the subject, "According to the tactics we practiced before, Brother Lin Yi, you wouldn't normally need to participate in the battle personally; you could simply focus on observing the flow of the Law Inscriptions. But..."

He glanced at You Na.

You Na picked up the conversation, her tone still as straightforward and easygoing as ever. "But now your strength is far greater than we previously estimated. You can decide for yourself when the time comes. If you see a suitable opportunity, just go for it. Don't worry about us."

Although they knew what the students on the inner island were saying, they weren't foolish enough to angrily tell Lin Yi not to make a move.

After all, every point that increases the chance of passing the level is a bonus, and if you pass the third level, the reward is substantial.

Lin Yi nodded.

"I will."

This is not just polite talk.

He will definitely lend a hand if he has the capacity. He knows the team's rules very well: the number of team members who survive each level directly determines the margin for error in the next level.

If too many people are lost in the first stage, the pressure in the following two stages will only be greater, and the chances of passing will naturally be smaller.

Conversely, if the organization can remain as intact as possible in the first stage, the organization will be more confident in the following two stages.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi acted immediately, raising his right hand with his fingers slightly spread.

A highly refined pale golden light shone from the tip of his index finger. Then, using his finger as a pen and the void as paper, he began to sketch the Law Inscriptions out of thin air.

One. Two. Five. Ten.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his ten fingers moved swiftly and gracefully through the air.

When the last inscription circuit was embedded into the reserved closed node, the golden light net floating in front of him, woven from dozens of Law Inscriptions, suddenly trembled.

The optical network spread outwards from Lin Yi in all directions, precisely covering every figure on the platform.

Looking down at their armor, which shimmered with pale golden patterns, almost simultaneously, the same thought arose in everyone's minds, "Impressive."

That's really impressive.

Although many of them also knew how to inscribe, the ones Lin Yi inscribed, whether in terms of the precision of the circuit structure or the adaptability to different attributes of Chaos Power, had already exceeded the scope of conventional Law Inscriptions.

After doing all this, Lin Yi withdrew his finger and let out a long breath.

Simultaneously inscribing so many people also consumes a considerable amount of his Chaos Power and Soul Power, but it's worth it to provide some extra insurance.

As for inscription arrays, although he has already mastered the basics, inscription arrays require a continuous expenditure of Soul Power to control, which consumes a lot of energy.

His main focus now had to be on observing the operation of those Law Inscriptions, so he didn't use the most mentally taxing inscription formations.

"However, the Silent Nether Soul Fire is usable..."

Lin Yi silently calculated in his mind.

Once the Silent Nether Soul Fire is formed, it can automatically absorb the surrounding Chaos Power and Soul Power to maintain its operation. It only needs to expend a very small portion of its mental energy to maintain basic control, allowing it to continue to function on the battlefield.

Just then, he suddenly felt the platform beneath his feet tremble slightly.

The tremor wasn't violent, but it was extremely profound, like the sudden beating of the heart of a colossal beast that had slumbered for countless years.

Immediately afterwards, all the trial participants who were talking in hushed tones fell silent.

Countless extremely fine, shimmering white light threads suddenly appeared in the grayish-white void in front of the platform.

The light filaments initially floated scattered in the void, but soon began to converge in the same direction.

The light filaments gathered more and more, becoming denser and denser, eventually condensing into a gigantic, suffocating, semi-transparent light curtain in the void.

The light curtain stretched from the edge of the platform all the way to the edge of the field of vision, covering the entire void.

Behind that layer of light, a huge, shadowy figure began to emerge.

The first thing to appear was a row of warships, densely packed and filling most of the field of vision.

The warships were built in the standard Imperial Army style of ancient times, with long and sharp hulls that shone with a cold and murderous light in the gray-white void.

Then came the larger warships, whose hulls featured more complex and precise inscription circuits.

Behind these warships, an even larger silhouette slowly emerged in the void.

Lin Yi recognized the warship; it was the Yong Yao- class fortress ship.

Because the Yong Yao- class fortress ships are all old relics left over from the Imperial Era, the Seventh Constant Domain does not yet have the technology to manufacture them.

Lin Yi's gaze fell on the massive warships that were slowly adjusting their formation.

"It seems this first challenge is an assault-type, with a hundred-man squad facing off against a complete fleet and fortress ships. The main guns of the Yong Yao- class fortress ships are even capable of delivering a full-force attack comparable to a low-level Constant Lord..."

He silently murmured something to himself.

It can only be said that the Eternal Source Ring truly lives up to its name, which aims to select top geniuses.

Then, Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and gently clenched his right hand in the air.

Deep within the Soul Origin, three seals lit up simultaneously.

The Silverblue filaments of the Light of Eternal Silence surged forth from the seal first, condensing into a fist-sized ball of ice-blue flame in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, the jet-black flames of the Nine Nether Fire spread out from another seal, wrapping around the surface of the icy blue flame like living vines.

Finally, there's Soul Devouring.

The dark purple soul mist silently seeped into every strand of the flame, condensing into extremely fine and faint purple lines at the boundary between Silverblue and inky black.

Three colors intertwine, Silent Nether Soul Fire.

Lin Yi looked down at the three-colored flame in his palm, slightly clenched his fingers, and then gently tossed it forward.

The ball of flame traced a smooth arc in the void, hovering not far in front of the platform, and began to rotate on its own at an extremely slow but extremely stable speed.

Having done all this, Lin Yi withdrew most of his attention from the battlefield.

He's here to do serious business.

The Silent Nether Soul Fire can absorb the surrounding Chaos Power and Soul Power to maintain its operation. It only needs to retain a very small part of its mind to maintain basic control, and the rest of its energy must be devoted to observing and memorizing those Law Inscriptions.

This is his mission as the sole core member to come to the Eternal Source Ring, and it is also the reason why Constant Island is willing to place such a heavy bet on him.

The pale gold protective shield surrounding the platform began to flicker.

Initially, only a few extremely fine cracks appeared on the edge. Then, the cracks spread in all directions like a spider web. Finally, the entire light shield shattered with a low hum, turning into countless tiny golden dust particles that dissipated into the void.

The trial has officially begun.

Without hesitation, the group of trial participants rushed forward.

They need to move the battlefield forward to avoid affecting Lin Yi; otherwise, they'll need to assign people to protect him.

A dazzling curtain of light, composed of various colors, wove together in the void to meet the oncoming fleet.

At the same time they made their move, Lin Yi's ball of Silent Nether Soul Fire had already drifted to the front of the fleet formation.

Under Lin Yi's control, it did not provoke the fortress ship, but only shuttled back and forth in the area where the escort fleet was most concentrated.

The jet-black flames trailed winding tongues of fire in the void, and each time they swept past a frigate, the ship's shields would be devoured layer by layer by the Nine Nether Fire.

Although those trial subjects who controlled the warships were simulated by the Eternal Source Ring, they also possessed simulated Soul Power.

Therefore, after devouring a frigate, the Silent Nether Soul Fire will suddenly grow larger.

The flames burned ever brighter.

Before long, it turned into a sea of inky black fire.

The expansion rate of the Silent Nether Soul Fire far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Those intermediate and beginner-level trial participants who were originally assigned to clean up the escort ships gradually found that there were fewer and fewer opponents in front of them.

Because they were all swallowed up by that ball of inky black flame.

This thing...

A mid-level Eternal Source Realm Extreme Ice Race student cleaved a frigate in two with a wave of his hand, the icy blue blade drawing a cold light in the void. "How come you're even more efficient than us?"

"You're only just noticing?"

His teammates, without turning back, blasted the two escort ships that were trying to flank them to pieces. "I just saw it burn an entire squadron over there, leaving not a trace."

"Stop talking nonsense, to the left!"

Similar dialogues were taking place on various fronts.

They originally thought the difference in strength between themselves and Lin Yi was only reflected in their speed of clearing solo levels, but they didn't expect the difference to be even more obvious in team battles.

They didn't even fight themselves; they just threw a ball of fire, and it burned away nearly half of the enemy.

On the battlefield, the Yong Yao- class fortress ship had clearly also noticed the rapidly expanding inky black flame.

The bow of the fortress ship at the very front began to adjust its angle, and a blindingly bright white light shone from deep within the muzzle of its cannon.

That's a sign that the main gun is charging.

Lin Yi immediately maneuvered the inky black sea of fire to hide behind other warships, using them for cover.

E Lan and You Na both noticed this detail.

"It's hiding." E Lan's misty, bluish-gray eyes suddenly narrowed. "That ball of fire is dodging the fortress ship's main guns."

"This shows that attacks from Constant Lord- level being still pose a threat to it." You Na's inscription on her forehead suddenly accelerated its flow, leaving scorching marks in the void. "That makes things simple. We'll take care of containing the fortress ship, and the rest can be handled by Brother Lin Yi's ball of fire."

Tai Huan didn't waste any words, he just nodded slightly, and then his figure flashed, and he shot towards the fortress ship.

The nine Eternal Source Realm Masters simultaneously adjusted their tactics.

They concentrated all their firepower on the fortress ship, and in an instant, the area around the fortress ship was in an uproar.

With the combined suppression of the nine Perfected beings, the fortress ship had no time to pay attention to the ever-growing, inky black flames beside it.

After all, its attack and defense are only comparable to the Early Constant Source Realm, not that of a true Constant Lord.

Furthermore, even a true Early Constant Source Realm would have to think twice before being ganged up on by nine prodigies at the Eternal Source Realm Completion.

As a result, the Silent Nether Soul Fire became even more unrestrained.

It burned from one formation to another, from the outer perimeter to the inner circle.

The inky black sea of fire churned and surged in the void, each roll engulfing dozens of warships, each surge leaving a blank space of ashes on the battlefield.

Those high- and mid-level trial participants responsible for the frontal defenses have learned their lesson and become more cautious.

Instead of launching proactive attacks to engage the warships already engulfed in flames, they tightened their formation and focused on eliminating any stragglers that had managed to bypass the flames.

The division of labor on the entire battlefield became exceptionally clear.

Nine perfected units suppressed the fortress ship, Silent Nether Soul Fire swept away the escort fleet, and the rest filled in the gaps.

Behind the platform, Lin Yi was suspended in mid-air, his eyes slightly closed and his brows furrowed.

His Soul Power had spread outwards as much as possible, enveloped by the rapidly operating system of Law Inscriptions.

It's too difficult.

This was Lin Yi's first reaction.

Then came the second reaction: it's still too difficult.

He recognized every single word of those Law Inscriptions.

Inscription nodes, law threads, auxiliary circuits—these are all things he has studied repeatedly. He can understand them all when they are broken down, and he can even independently construct modern inscription circuits with similar functions.

But when these nodes and threads were combined in the way unique to the Eternal Source Ring, he found himself completely unable to understand why they were drawn in this way.

Why is this energy node placed here instead of somewhere closer?

Why does this law thread curve in this arc instead of running in a straight line?

Why is the cycle direction of this auxiliary loop opposite to that of the adjacent loop?

He observed every detail, yet he couldn't understand the underlying principles at all.

Lin Yi felt that his situation was like that of a child who had just learned to read, encountering a classical Chinese text with difficult pronunciation.

I recognize each character individually, but when they're put together, I can't understand them at all.

What is this article about?

have no idea.

What is the logic behind this statement?

have no idea.

Why is this word used in this way?

I still don't know.

But at least he could memorize it by rote.

This is also why Constant Island chose him for this mission.

For other Eternal Source Realm who don't understand inscriptions, it would be like an illiterate person trying to memorize an inscription in a very short time, relying solely on rote memorization based on the shapes of the characters.

Faced with the Eternal Source Ring's system of Law Inscriptions, those inscription nodes and threads appear to those unfamiliar with inscriptions as countless chaotic lines and dots of light. Relying solely on tracing them to memorize them would lead to a huge error if even a slight mistake was Qianli, making the task far more difficult.

At least he can read.

"Forget it, don't try to understand it. Just memorize it first. The deciphering work is for those masters of the Constant Source Realm."

Outside the Eternal Source Ring.

The shimmering white defensive barrier continued to slowly rotate, while in the abyss beyond, an endless Black Silence Beast Tide relentlessly pounded against this seemingly indestructible barrier.

However, their only function is to allow the Constant Lord to occasionally glance at them to confirm that the defensive formation is operating normally, and then they will turn their attention back to watching the real-time footage in the trial space.

At the top of the ancient tower ruins, Kroen's short, burning red hair stood out conspicuously in the void.

He crossed his arms over his chest, a barely suppressed smile playing on his lips.

"Did you count them?"

The red-robed woman beside him glanced at him and smiled, saying, "Do I even need to count? Seven casualties, all at the Early Order of the Eternal Source Realm Constant Lord. Three of them were instantly killed by concentrated fire at the very beginning, and the other four were hit by the main guns of the fortress ship. This number of casualties is already the best result ever achieved by the Eternal Source Ring team in the first stage."

"It's more than just the best."

Standing on the west side of the ancient pagoda, the Constant Lord Life, clad in a dark blue robe, spoke slowly. The shimmering bird on his shoulder was flapping its wings excitedly, each flap scattering a trail of bright blue dust. "Do you remember the records from the previous six trials? Even in the best-performing fourth trial, more than twenty people were lost in the first stage. This time, only seven beginners were lost, none of the intermediate or advanced levels were missing, and all nine Great Perfection experts survived. I would say it's unprecedented, wouldn't that be an exaggeration?"

Kroen laughed and nudged Eric beside him with his elbow, "Old Eric, you've done a great job this time. This Lin Yi truly lives up to your reputation. If it weren't for his flame that could quickly wipe out nearly half of the escort fleet, those few Perfected Realm experts wouldn't have been able to deal with the fortress ship so easily. All nine Perfected Realm experts survived to enter the second stage; that's a huge advantage."

Eric maintained his stern expression, his hands clasped behind his back, his deep purple robes fluttering silently in the air.

But if you look closely, you can see that the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned at an extremely small angle.

He didn't respond to Kroen's words, but simply said, "Heh, not bad, mainly because he's self-reliant."

"Good?"

Kroen was speechless, thinking to himself, "Look at him, putting on such a show."

Then, his eyes darted around, and he deliberately sighed, "Speaking of which, although the trial participants in charge of inscriptions were also recognized as absolute cores in the previous trials, the difference between them and Lin Yi, who is an absolute core, is not even a little bit. This is what an absolute core should be; the others can only be called inscription recorders."

Eric remained silent upon hearing this.

Why does this guy have to compare and belittle others when he's praising someone?

Because he was one of the core members responsible for the inscriptions during the second trial.

Just then, the group of Constant Lord noticed that the Ming Chi Dao Lord above suddenly tilted his head slightly, as if saying something to the Dao Lord Xi Mo.

The Dao Lord Xi Mo remained seated cross-legged high above, her eyes slightly closed, but a faint smile was clearly visible on her lips.

Not just the Dao Lord Xi Mo.

Even the usually cold and hard face of the Ming Chi Dao Lord the Underworld showed a rare hint of a smile at this moment.

The smile was barely there, but it was crystal clear to the Constant Lord.

"Am I seeing things?" the red-robed female Constant Lord whispered to Kroen via Soul Transmission, "Did the Lord of the Ming Chi Island just laugh?"

Kroen replied via Soul Transmission, "He laughed. I'll bet you a high-grade material, he definitely laughed."

The Red-Robed Constant Lord didn't accept the bet. Her gaze returned to the real-time footage of the trial space, and she thought to herself, "It seems that after the trial, the island lord might really come forward to recruit Lin Yi. I'll have to see if there's a chance to make him my assistant. With the talent he's shown, maybe I'll actually have a chance to complete my mission."
