Heaven Dou City Early morning.
Lin Ciyan woke up from the hotel bed and stretched out.
He began to feel the unique tranquility of this future world.
If it weren't for the occasional hum of the hovercar passing by outside the window, this early morning would be almost the same as Shrek City in the Douluo II period.
After washing up, he took out [Slacking Health Tea Set] from the system warehouse, made a pot of tea, and drank it slowly.
[System prompt: Daily in Relaxation Domain state, Slacking Value+30]
[Current Slacking Value:19130]
"Tsk, for this daily income, mosquito legs are also meat." Lin Ciyan smiled, but he didn't dislike it.
He planned to go to the Tang Sect branch today to explore the situation, but before that... he had to fill his stomach first.
In the hotel's buffet restaurant, there is a dazzling array of futuristic meals.
Lin Ciyan held the dinner plate and tried several things he had never seen before with great interest - a "Soul Power Bread" that heats itself, a "Smart Pudding" that can adjust the taste according to body temperature, and a "Awakening Drink" that... will produce a slight electric sensation in the throat after drinking it.
"The food of this era is very fancy." He commented.
While I was eating, several familiar figures walked in from the door of the restaurant.
"Mr. Lin?" Tang Wulin greeted somewhat unexpectedly.
A group of people from Shrek Team walked in, and it seemed they were also here to have breakfast.
"What a coincidence." Lin Ciyan smiled and waved, "Together?"
Everyone sat around the table, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than yesterday.
Xie Xie is the most active. While piling food on the plate, he asks, "Brother Lin, what are your plans today?"
"Would you like to watch our game? Today we are playing against the Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy, it should be quite exciting."
"Okay." Lin Ciyan agreed readily, "I have nothing to do anyway."
"Mr. Lin is interested in Soul Master Tournament?" Gu Yue asked softly, with inquiry in his silver eyes.
"I'm interested in 'watching people fight'." Lin Ciyan corrected, "And you guys fought really well, much better than the exhibition games I watched in my hometown."
This is half true and half false.
During the Douluo II period, he had seen the internal competition of the Shrek Academy, and also seen some Soul Master duels, but he had never seen a match of Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament's size live.
"Exhibition match?" Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously, "What is Mr. Lin's hometown... like?"
"A relatively... leisurely place." Lin Ciyan said vaguely, "Everyone doesn't practice hard and just let nature take its course. If you can make a breakthrough while lying down, you will never practice while standing."
Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
What kind of magical place is this?
"So how is your Soul Master's strength?" Ye Xinglan rarely spoke up and asked a very practical question.
"It's not bad." Lin Ciyan thought for a while, "It should be strong when it should be strong, and weak when it should be weak."
"But no one cares much about strength or weakness, happiness is the most important thing."
[System prompt: Spread 'Slacking Philosophy' to multiple people, Slacking Influence+700]
[Current influence:94,300]
[Slacking Cultivation Accelerator effect:53%→53.8%]
Lin Ciyan was secretly happy.
This influence is growing slowly, but it is continuous.
After breakfast, the group headed to Great Soul Arena.
There are more viewers today than yesterday. Obviously Shrek Team has accumulated a lot of popularity.
Lin Ciyan followed Tang Wulin and successfully entered the players' rest area - this is a privilege and ordinary spectators cannot enter.
"Mr. Lin, please sit here." Tang Wulin pointed to a few seats behind the rest area, "The view is good and it's quiet."
Lin Ciyan nodded, sat down naturally, and took out the uneaten bag [Soul Sunflower Seeds] from Storage Soul Tool.
"Your habit of bringing snacks with you is quite special." Gu Yue glanced at him.
"A must for watching the game." Lin Ciyan said seriously, "A game without melon seeds has no soul."
The game starts soon.
Today Shrek's opponent is indeed much stronger than yesterday.
Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy is a traditional strong team. The average level of the players is above level 35, and the captain has even reached level 39, which is only one step away from Soul Ancestor.
The first game is two versus two, with Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan playing.
"This pairing..." Lin Ciyan commented while cracking melon seeds, "Agility and attack combined with control are the right idea, but Xie Xie is too aggressive, and Xu Xiaoyan's control rhythm can't keep up."
He spoke not loudly, but Tang Wulin and Gu Yue sitting in the front row heard him.
The two looked at each other, both a little surprised.
Lin Ciyan's review is horribly accurate.
On the field, Xie Xie did as Lin Ciyan said, launching a fierce attack at the beginning, trying to win a quick victory.
The opponent was obviously well prepared. The two defense systems Soul Master were attacking steadily, consuming his Soul Power.
Although Xu Xiaoyan controls Soul Skill accurately, its release timing is always half a beat too slow to effectively coordinate with Xie Xie's sudden advance.
"Xu Xiaoyan should release Star Wheel Chain earlier." Lin Ciyan continued to comment, "Xie Xie is the same guy. The angle of the attack is too right. If you turn slightly to the left by fifteen degrees, you can avoid the wall Soul Skill on the opposite side."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xie on the field was blocked by a sudden earth wall, disrupting the attacking rhythm.
Gu Yue couldn't help but look back at Lin Ciyan.
"Mr. Lin... has very good eyesight."
"It's okay." Lin Ciyan said modestly, "If you watch it more, you will naturally be able to figure out the way."
In fact, he has never seen many games, purely because of the super perception and fighting instinct brought by Holy Radiance Qilin.
The most important thing is to make a judgment based on the understanding of the abilities of the original characters.
But this cannot be said.
I finally won the first game, but it was a tough win.
When Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan returned to the rest area, Soul Power had consumed most of it.
"Good fight." Lin Ciyan handed over two bottles of water - [Cooling Water] redeemed from System Shop, which can quickly restore a small amount of Soul Power.
"Thank you, Brother Lin." Xie Xie took the water, took a big sip, and then his eyes lit up, "This water... is good stuff!"
"Exclusive formula." Lin Ciyan smiled, "Drink a bottle before the next fight, the effect will be better."
The second game is the single game of Ye Xinglan.
This sword-mad girl entered the stage with Ten Thousand Thunderbolts's offensive. The sword light was like rain, completely suppressing her opponent.
In less than three minutes, the game is over.
"Clean and neat." Lin Ciyan applauded, "But when she took out the seventh sword, there was a slight tremor in her wrist. It should be that the old injury was not completely healed."
"It is recommended that she soak her hands in warm water for half an hour every day and cooperate with the specific Soul Power operation to recover within a month."
The words were not loud, but Ye Xinglan clearly heard them when he came off the field.
She walked up to Lin Ciyan and stared at him for a few seconds before speaking, "How do you know I have old injuries?"
"I can tell." Lin Ciyan pointed at his eyes, "The way you hold the sword, the force exerted by the thumb and index finger of your right hand is uneven."
"A move like the Seventh Sword that requires rapid twisting of the wrist will expose problems."
Ye Xinglan was silent for a moment and nodded. "Thank you."
[System prompt: Obtain preliminary recognition from the key role·Ye Xinglan, Slacking Influence+600]
Lin Ciyan is satisfied.
This kind of influence can be easily earned.
In the third game, it's Tang Wulin's turn to play.
His opponent is the captain of the Heaven Dou Academy, a level 39 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder, and Martial Soul is "Blazing Mad Lion" with extremely strong attack power.
"This is interesting." Lin Ciyan sat up straight.
The game begins.
Blazing Mad Lion Soul Master was on full fire as soon as it came on. All three Soul Ring were on, and the blazing flames enveloped the entire arena.
His tactics are very clear - use Soul Power Level's advantage to suppress Soul Power.
Tang Wulin did not fight hard, but dodge flexibly, while using Blue Silver Grass to interfere.
"Smart." Lin Ciyan nodded, "Although the opponent's flames are strong, they consume a lot of energy. If we drag on, the advantage lies with Tang Wulin."
Sure enough, after three minutes, Blazing Mad Lion Soul Master's attack rhythm began to slow down.
Tang Wulin seized the opportunity and Golden Dragon Claw launched, breaking through the flame defense with one blow and striking directly at the opponent's chest.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
On Blazing Mad Lion Soul Master, the position of the fourth Soul Ring suddenly lit up with a blur of purple light - he actually hid his strength and had broken through to level 40, possessing the fourth Soul Skill!
"Fourth Soul Skill·Mad Lion Blazing Break!"
The huge Flame Lion shadow roared out, and its power far exceeded the first three Soul Skill.
The audience screamed in surprise.
In the rest area, Gu Yue and others also stood up nervously.
Only Lin Ciyan is still eating melon seeds leisurely.
"Don't worry." He said, "Tang Wulin can handle it."
On the court, facing Soul Skill, the unexpected fourth player, a golden light flashed in Tang Wulin's eyes.
He didn't retreat, but stepped forward to meet him.
The right hand Golden Dragon Claw is shining with golden light, while the left hand Blue Silver Grass is growing crazily, intertwining into a large net in front of the body.
"Boom!"
The collision of flames and golden light erupted into a dazzling light.
When the light dissipated, everyone saw--
Tang Wulin stood on the spot, the sleeve of his right arm was torn to pieces, revealing an arm that was faintly glowing with golden light.
Opposite him, Blazing Mad Lion Soul Master was kneeling on one knee, with a shallow claw mark on his chest.
"I lost." The other party said with a bitter smile.
The referee announces the result of the game.
Tang Wulin's arms were still shaking slightly when he walked back to the rest area.
"That blow just now, you can actually save more effort." Lin Ciyan said.
Tang Wulin looked at him.
"Before the opponent's fourth Soul Skill activates, there is a Soul Power condensation process." Lin Ciyan said, "If you gather 70% of his Soul Power At that time, use Blue Silver Grass to attack the third floor tile under his feet - that is one of the energy nodes of the soul guide formation on the field, which can cause slight shock - and his Soul Skill release will be interrupted."
"This brief moment of interruption is enough for you to go around to his side and attack the two inches below his left ribs with Golden Dragon Claw."
"That's the weak point in the operation of his Soul Power. One strike can break his defense."
Tang Wulin was stunned.
This analysis is terrifyingly detailed.
Not only did he see through his opponent's weaknesses, but he also took into account the playing field environment.
"Mr. Lin... who are you?" he couldn't help but ask.
"A traveler passing by." Lin Ciyan smiled, "By the way, someone who knows some dramas... and has some combat experience."
At this time, Gu Yue suddenly said, "Since Mr. Lin has such a good eye, are you interested in... Let's compare notes?"
As soon as these words came out, the rest area suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looks at Lin Ciyan.
