[Ding! Spending: 35,000 Gold Soul Coins.] [System Evaluation: A leek whose spirit has been broken by public humiliation, spending with an urgent desire to wash away the shame. Worthy of a laugh from this system.] [Random Reward: Ultimate Fire.] [Host Reward: 3,500 Gourmet Points.]
Lin Feng's mouth twitched despite himself.
That Dog System was as foul-mouthed as ever, and its evaluations still hit the nail on the head.
But Lin Feng soon had no time to argue with the system over it.
Because the next notification made his heart shudder!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your devout leek and your generous harvest have successfully triggered the one-in-ten-thousand chance of a "Divine Grace Critical Hit"!] [Critical Hit Multiplier: Eight!] [Generating Divine Grace reward...] [Congratulations, host! You have obtained: Mastery of the Eight Ultimate Attributes!]
Boom!!!
Lin Feng's sea of consciousness seemed to witness the birth of the universe itself!
Ultimate Fire, Ultimate Ice, Ultimate Wind, Ultimate Lightning, Ultimate Light, Ultimate Darkness, Ultimate Strength, Ultimate Wood!
Eight supreme laws that formed the world's very source transformed into eight divine chains, stretching from heaven to earth. They ruthlessly branded themselves into the depths of his soul!
At that moment, he was no longer merely able to make his words reality within the restaurant.
A sudden understanding dawned on him.
It was as if he had become the laws themselves.
At a mere thought, he could burn all creation to ashes or freeze ten thousand miles in an instant!
It was an unprecedented sensation of absolute power, of being able to control everything!
Refreshing!
This was so damn satisfying!
If so many people weren't watching, Lin Feng would've whipped up a fusion spell on the spot to see whether the Rasengan was more powerful or the Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus!
On the surface, though, he remained the same peerless expert, languid to his very bones.
He didn't even change his posture. He merely let his half-lidded eyes drift over to Spirit Kite Douluo, who stood before the counter with "I want to win it all back" written all over her face.
His gaze was calm and indifferent, yet seemed able to see through the past, present, and future.
"Your luck isn't bad."
As his words fell, Lin Feng casually raised a hand and flicked a finger toward Spirit Kite Douluo.
There was no earth-shattering spectacle.
Only a tiny golden spark, so faint it was nearly invisible, drifted from his fingertip.
It ignored the distance between them and the barrier of Soul Power, floating lightly until it landed between Spirit Kite Douluo's brows.
She felt a brief warmth at her forehead and hadn't yet had time to wonder what it was.
The next second!
"Liiiii!"
A piercing, clear cry, brimming with boundless joy and majesty, erupted from within her without warning!
Her Martial Soul, the Blazing Kite, burst from her body against her will!
But this time, the apparition wasn't a Soul Beast wreathed in ordinary flames!
It was a divine bird, its entire body burning with pure golden Divine Flame!
Every one of its feathers looked as though it had been forged from the heart of the sun. What radiated from it wasn't heat, but supreme purification and majesty!
Ultimate Fire!
A terrifying heat that made every Title Douluo present tremble in their souls swept outward from Spirit Kite Douluo in an instant!
The air warped, and space wailed!
Tuoba Xi's expression changed drastically. He immediately stopped eating!
He stepped forward, and his formidable Holy Dragon Soul Power formed a bulwark, shielding the three members of the Golden Generation behind him.
Yet the Soul Power shield he was so proud of groaned and cracked under the pure golden Divine Flame!
Cracks spread across it like a spiderweb. The mere aftershock posed a fatal threat to him, a ninety-first-rank Title Douluo!
"Ahhh—!"
A shriek, shrill enough to break into a falsetto, pierced the air from the corner!
It was Chrysanthemum Douluo!
His enchanting face was now filled with terror and pain. He could clearly feel his Martial Soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, instinctively trembling and shrinking before the sacred flame. It even seemed to be withering!
This was no longer suppression at the level of Soul Power!
This was absolute domination in the hierarchy of life!
"Old Ghost!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice quavered with tears, filled with a despair he'd never known before.
Beside him, Ghost Douluo's pupils contracted to pinpricks.
He didn't even have time to think. His body reacted before his mind.
He yanked Chrysanthemum Douluo behind him and flung open his signature, billowing black cloak. Like a crow spreading its futile wings, he tried to hold back the divine flame that could burn everything.
He knew full well it would be useless.
But it was the only thing he could do.
And just then.
On the rocking chair, Lin Feng's half-lidded eyes finally opened a sliver.
He seemed to be merely a little annoyed by the noise.
In an instant.
There was no fluctuation of Soul Power, no surge of energy, and no earth-shattering spectacle.
To everyone's utter horror, a wall of ice crystals, thin as a cicada's wing and glowing with an intense icy-blue light, appeared out of nowhere and rose silently from the ground!
"Crack—"
The crisp sound was like a dividing line drawn by the laws themselves.
On one side of the ice wall burned Spirit Kite Douluo's golden Divine Flame, capable of burning all things—a terrifying inferno that could warp space and make even Title Douluo tremble.
On the other side lay refreshing calm, as gentle as a spring breeze.
The raging Divine Flame pounded against the thin ice wall, but couldn't budge it in the slightest. It couldn't even stir up a wisp of white mist.
It was as if it wasn't a wall at all.
It was two worlds, forever divided and never to meet, severed by the hand of a god!
Chrysanthemum Douluo's shriek cut off abruptly.
Ghost Douluo's black cloak, held protectively before him, fell limply.
Tuoba Xi stood frozen in place, his face aghast.
Everyone stared at the ice wall that divided life from death, then instinctively looked toward the young man who hadn't changed his posture once from beginning to end.
That power, mighty enough to make the world tremble, seemed to him to be nothing more than...
a thought.
At last, the golden Divine Flame that could burn all things drew back like a weary bird returning to its nest.
It didn't vanish. Instead, it condensed into its most primal mark and completely merged with Spirit Kite Douluo's Martial Soul, branding itself into the depths of her soul.
Everything fell silent.
It was as though the terrifying spectacle that had just made even Title Douluo tremble had never happened.
Spirit Kite Douluo slowly, slowly opened her eyes.
The world was still the same world.
Yet in her eyes, everything had changed.
She instinctively raised her hands.
What perfect hands they were.
Slender and fair, with golden magma seeming to flow beneath every inch of skin, holding enough terrifying power to burn mountains and boil seas!
"This..."
Her red lips parted slightly, and a soft, dreamlike murmur escaped her throat.
Ultimate Fire!
This was no longer a flame granted by her Martial Soul. It was a right to the ultimate, sharing the same source as her life and resonating with her soul!
How could a Soul Bone compare to this?
A Soul Bone was ultimately an external object.
This, on the other hand, was an evolution of her very existence! The most generous blessing a god could bestow upon a mortal!
A thought crossed her mind.
A pure golden flame, not a trace of impurity in it, obediently sprang to life on her fair fingertip, dancing with delight.
That wasn't just power.
It was her will, an extension of her soul!
A confidence and ambition unlike anything she'd ever known erupted from the depths of her heart like a volcano!
She even had an absurd, yet utterly real, feeling.
At that moment, even though she was only at rank ninety-three,
she was already worthy of challenging those lofty beings!
For example... Subduing Demon Douluo! Thousand Might Douluo!
Those two Super Douluo had already reached rank ninety-six and looked down upon all living things!
Perhaps...
No!
She could definitely defeat them in battle! ```
