For 52 consecutive days, he had been forced to use the Sky-Tearing Claw to part the dark clouds and reveal the sun, all just to create a rainbow for the sake of chasing a man.
Xiong Jun: "..."
He was so speechless he wanted to die!
Damn it...
How did he end up with such a superior and such a group of teammates?
Enough, the soul beasts should just hurry up and go extinct!
"Di Tian, don't you also have the Dragon God Claw? Why don't you do it?"
"In any case, I'm not doing it. If you want it done, do it yourself."
Xiong Jun rolled his eyes.
It wasn't as if he were the only one who could tear the sky; Di Tian's Dragon God Claw was even more ferocious than his Sky-Tearing Claw.
He wouldn't fight Di Tian for such an important task as creating a rainbow to help their Lord chase a man.
"Hmph, Xiong Jun, whether you want to do it or not, you will."
"One person tears for one day; that is my final bottom line."
Di Tian let out a cold snort, though he did make a concession.
He could rotate shifts with Xiong Jun.
He would tear the clouds for one day, and Xiong Jun would tear them for the next—this was the limit of Di Tian's compromise.
Furthermore, both he and Xiong Jun could rest every other day.
If Xiong Jun refused to contribute to something as important as the Lord chasing the Lady, then this stinking bear truly wanted to die!
No, there would be no need for him to live at all.
"Fine!"
Sensing Di Tian's icy killing intent, Xiong Jun agreed with a grievance, shrinking his neck.
One person a day, fine, one person a day!
What was with the aggression?
He would do it, wouldn't he?
That very day, The fierce beasts began their work in an orderly fashion.
Eastsea City was already coastal, and with a typhoon imminent, manipulating a few rain clouds was not difficult at all.
Rumble!!!
A sudden clap of thunder shook the flat ground, followed by a torrential downpour, and then, as the rain cleared, a rainbow appeared.
The entire process was precise and efficient.
"Holy crap!!"
Xie Xie was startled out of his wits, his calves trembling.
"Brother Ji just said he liked rainbows, and a rainbow appeared immediately!"
"Could it be that Gu Yue did this?"
"What kind of background does Gu Yue have?"
"She can even conjure a rainbow?!"
"Wulin, do you think it's too late for me to kneel and apologize to the big boss Gu Yue now?"
There was already a sobbing tone in Xie Xie's voice.
Gu Yue, I was wrong!
If I had known you were this badass, I wouldn't have mocked you!
"Xie Xie, you're overthinking it."
"How could Gu Yue possibly create a rainbow?"
"This is just a coincidence."
"I think it's because Brother Ji is favored by destiny; he said he liked rainbows, so the rainbow appeared."
Tang Wulin waved his hand.
He felt that compared to Xie Xie's theory, his "destined rainbow" theory was much more reliable.
How could anyone artificially create a rainbow?
It was just a coincidence, yet look at how scared Xie Xie was—he had become a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.
"A coincidence?"
Xie Xie shook his head, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Compared to his "Gu Yue as the mastermind behind the rainbow" theory, Tang Wulin's destiny theory was clearly even more absurd.
Hmm... forget it, let's just call it a coincidence for now.
"A rainbow?"
Ji Fengyu's heart stirred. He immediately activated Martial Soul Possession, unfurled his Rainbow Dragon wings, and flew toward the rainbow.
Yellow, yellow!
Two century-grade soul rings and his century-grade soul spirit, the Seven-Colored Crown, appeared.
Soaring to meet the radiance of the rainbow, wisps of rainbow energy surged into Ji Fengyu's body.
His soul power and spiritual power began to rise...
Ji Fengyu flew a great distance, only stopping his pursuit once the rainbow dissipated.
The harvest was substantial.
Much like how the Purple Demon Eye absorbed the purple energy from the east, the rainbow energy within each rainbow was limited.
Ji Fengyu could drain a rainbow dry in just two breaths. Chasing rainbows was his hobby, and it served as an excellent simulated environment, highly beneficial for both his soul power cultivation and his comprehension of rainbow energy.
Descending slowly onto the rooftop of the dormitory building, Ji Fengyu sat cross-legged to digest the rainbow energy.
"A simulated environment?"
"Absorbing the power of a rainbow?"
On a tall building not far away, Wu Zhangkong stood tall, clad in white with a blue sword at his side, watching the scene in silence.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
For the next 52 days, there was a rainbow every single day!
Sometimes it was obvious, sometimes faint, but it was always there.
Xie Xie was nearly scared out of his wits!
On the second day, he and Tang Wulin found it strange but still considered it a coincidence.
By the fifth day, he and Tang Wulin had become numb to it.
By the fifty-second day, oh great and omnipotent Goddess Gu Yue, please forgive our ignorant offenses!
"Damn it! Is it too late to go and kneel before Gu Yue to apologize?"
Xie Xie felt like crying.
"I'll go with you."
Tang Wulin also gulped.
They had trespassed into the domain of the heavens!
Just because Ji Fengyu said he liked rainbows, Gu Yue had conjured 52 days of them for him!
It was too exaggerated...
Who exactly was Gu Yue?
Was she a princess from some deity's household?
Although Tang Wulin disliked Gu Yue, she was so formidable that they couldn't afford to provoke her!
As the two brothers-in-misfortune were preparing to find Gu Yue to apologize, a voice rang out from a nearby soul guidance display screen:
"Broadcasting a recent news update..."
"The rainbow spectacle that has persisted in Eastsea City for 52 days has been analyzed by the Celestial Phenomenon Douluo, who states that this is caused by atmospheric turbulence ahead of an approaching typhoon. The public need not be overly concerned..."
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie stopped in their tracks.
A typhoon?
These 52 days of rainbows weren't because of Gu Yue, but because of an approaching typhoon and atmospheric instability?
The two rushed to the display screen to continue watching the news.
"The Celestial Phenomenon Douluo is a Title Douluo who commands the power of the weather, possessing the world's foremost ability to predict and control meteorological phenomena. His words carry great authority..."
After watching the news, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie remained skeptical.
It was all just too eerie.
It couldn't be that much of a coincidence, could it?
Brother Ji had just finished telling Gu Yue that he liked rainbows, and then it had rained rainbows for 52 days straight?
"Look!"
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin exchanged a glance, hurriedly pulling out their soul guidance phones to start searching.
<Typhoon codenamed "Angry Seal" is expected to make landfall in Eastsea City in two weeks. Residents are advised to minimize travel...>
There really was a typhoon!
Was it truly just a coincidence?
The two stared at each other in disbelief.
"Damn! It really is a typhoon!"
"I almost let that scoundrel Gu Yue pull off a massive bluff!"
"I knew it, how could Gu Yue possibly be that overpowered?"
"If she were actually that formidable, she would have crushed an ant like me a long time ago!"
Xie Xie clutched his heart, still reeling from the fright, and began to curse out loud.
How terrifying!
He had almost let Gu Yue get away with a massive act of posturing!
He had even been prepared to kowtow and apologize to Gu Yue, but it turned out to be nothing more than a typhoon!
"Wait!"
"We have to tell Brother Ji immediately!"
"Otherwise, what if Brother Ji actually believes these 52 days of rainbows were Gu Yue's doing and agrees to her pursuit?"
Tang Wulin snatched the soul guidance phone from Xie Xie, staring at the typhoon forecast until he nearly crushed the device.
"Right, right, right!"
"Hurry and tell Brother Ji, don't let this poser succeed in her act and win him over!"
Xie Xie slapped his own forehead.
What if Brother Ji thought Gu Yue truly possessed the power to manifest 52 days of rainbows, became intimidated by her influence, or was moved by her efforts, and ended up yielding to her?
That would be a disaster!
Anxious and burning with urgency, the two immediately rushed toward the dormitory rooftop.
On the rooftop.
Ji Fengyu slowly opened his eyes and let out a long, leisurely breath.
"What a fine rainbow!"
"To encounter a rainbow is to conquer the rainbow!"
"Level 28!"
