The Correct Answer, Lin Yu Is Frenziedly Courted! (Recommendations, Check-Ins, Comments—Say Something!)

Gu Rong: Ahem... Everyone, answer it! Maybe you'll get it right. This can grant any wish you want!

Hu Yanzhen: Fuck! I got it wrong just now and even had my Eighth Soul Ring stripped away. Who the hell would dare answer again? What if I get it wrong again and they strip away my martial soul too? Then what the hell am I supposed to do?!

Within the Elephant Armor Sect, Hu Yanzhen sat upon a throne, his expression grim.

Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope!

Tuoba Xi: ...

Ning Fengzhi: Sigh! But we still have to answer. If we don't, the punishment will be even harsher...

Though Ning Fengzhi said so, the illusory screen fell silent for a time.

After all, while the punishment was severe, everyone across the Douluo Continent had been pulled into this Live Stream Room. The punishment might not necessarily fall on them.

But if they answered incorrectly, the punishment would truly belong to them. There would be no escaping it.

As messages continuously flashed across the illusory screen before him, Lin Yu suddenly noticed the words "Soul Ring" that Hu Yanzhen had mentioned. It was as though something had occurred to him. His eyes flew open, and wild joy surged through his heart.

Right! There were still Soul Rings!

In that instant, Lin Yu grasped the crux of the matter.

All this time, he had simply treated the birth of Soul Masters as equivalent to the birth of martial souls.

But aside from martial souls, the Soul Master system could not do without Soul Rings either!

And Soul Rings, in some of the novels he had read in his previous life, were not something the soul beast race had created themselves. Who the hell would give birth to such a thing just so humans could kill them?!

That made no sense at all!

According to the reasoning in some novels from his previous life, Soul Rings had actually been created when the gods of the God Realm deliberately altered the rules of the Douluo Continent to prevent another existence like the Dragon God from emerging among soul beasts.

Their goal was to make soul beasts and humans slaughter one another, ensuring that no powerhouse capable of shaking the God Realm could ever be born again.

The Ferocious Beast Tribulation that soul beasts had to undergo after one hundred thousand years was the same!

But with the strength of the gods in the God Realm, they could not alter the rules of the Douluo Continent through their own power alone. Therefore, they must have accomplished it through the God Realm itself.

So the final answer should be...

Lin Yu: The birth of Soul Masters should have two causes. The first part, the birth of martial souls, should have occurred because the Silver Dragon King tore through space and arrived in our Douluo Continent, bringing a certain special energy that caused soul beasts to emerge on the Douluo Continent and allowed the humans of that time to develop martial souls. The other part, the emergence of Soul Rings, should have been the result of the gods of the God Realm using the power of the God Realm to alter the rules of the Douluo Continent!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu submitted his answer to the system.

As Lin Yu waited anxiously, the system's response finally sounded.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your answer is correct! Would you like to display the answer in the Live Stream Room?

A moment later, the system's response finally came, and Lin Yu was instantly overjoyed.

Yes! I finally got it right!

Having discovered that he had finally answered the question correctly, Lin Yu did not think much about it. Suppressing his excitement, he directly chose to display the answer in the Live Stream Room.

Because even if he chose not to display it, since he had answered correctly, the system would soon notify the Live Stream Room that he was the one who had gotten it right.

Since he could not hide it anyway, he might as well display it and show off a little!

As Lin Yu chose to reveal the answer, a message suddenly appeared on the previously empty illusory screen in the Live Stream Room.

Lin Yu: The birth of Soul Masters has two causes. The first part, the birth of martial souls, should have occurred because the Silver Dragon King tore through space and arrived in our Douluo Continent, bringing a certain special energy that caused soul beasts to emerge on the Douluo Continent and allowed the humans of that time to develop martial souls. The other part, the emergence of Soul Rings, should have been the result of the gods of the God Realm using the power of the God Realm to alter the rules of the Douluo Continent!

Seeing that someone had actually answered, the entire Live Stream Room immediately came alive.

Yu Yuanzhen: Huh? Someone actually answered? Do any of you know this person named Lin Yu?

Ning Fengzhi: I don't know him, but this answer feels like it could be correct.

Xue Ye: Let's see whether he got it right. But this answer feels more complete than ours in both logic and process—perhaps even a little too complete. I wonder if it's right.

Because Lin Yu had actually answered the question, and his answer seemed to have some substance to it, countless messages instantly flooded the entire Live Stream Room.

As everyone waited, the system finally delivered its answer.

Notice: Lin Yu's answer: The birth of Soul Masters has two parts. The first part, the birth of martial souls, should have occurred because the Silver Dragon King tore through space and arrived in our Douluo Continent, bringing a certain special energy that caused soul beasts to emerge on the Douluo Continent and allowed the humans of that time to develop martial souls. The other part, the emergence of Soul Rings, should have been the result of the gods of the God Realm using the power of the God Realm to alter the rules of the Douluo Continent. Correct answer!

Reward: One opportunity to have a wish fulfilled within certain limits. Reward issued!

As a line of blood-red words appeared before everyone's eyes and the cold voice rang in their ears, the entire Live Stream Room exploded.

Hu Yanzhen: Unbelievable! No way, someone actually got it right?!

Xue Ye: Quick! Send people to investigate who this Lin Yu fellow really is!

Qian Daoliu: @Lin Yu, little fellow, could you use that wish to revive someone for me? If you agree, I can promise on behalf of Spirit Hall that you will enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of your life. Under Spirit Hall's protection, no one will ever bully you again!

Ning Fengzhi: @Lin Yu, little brother, could you use that wish to evolve my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul? If you agree, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can likewise promise you wealth and honor for life and protect you from ever being bullied!

Tian Meng (anxiously): Human child, how about using your wish to get me out of this predicament? If you're willing, just wish me to your side. I can sacrifice myself to you directly. Not only will you obtain a Million-Year Soul Ring, but you'll also gain an ice-element martial soul. With my guidance, I will definitely help you become the strongest Titled Douluo in the future!

Upon discovering that Lin Yu had actually answered correctly, the Live Stream Room was instantly filled with eager attempts to recruit him, all hoping he would use his wish-granting opportunity for their benefit.

But as Lin Yu looked at the offers on the illusory screen before him, he felt rather speechless.

Qian Daoliu's, Ning Fengzhi's, Xue Ye's, and Dai Tianfeng's offers were still acceptable.

The first two both promised him lifelong wealth and honor, as well as protection from being bullied.

The latter two were even willing to grant him the title of Honorary Duke on top of that.

But what the hell were the offers after those?

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said that if Lin Yu wished to help him escape, he would sacrifice himself to Lin Yu, allowing him to obtain a Million-Year Soul Ring and an ice-element martial soul. He was even willing to act like some old grandpa in a ring and help Lin Yu become powerful.

What bullshit!

Don't think I don't know that the ice-element martial soul you'd give me is incomplete, and that I'd still have to risk my life in the Far North Land to complete it.

With that effort, couldn't I just wish for a powerful martial soul myself?

Then Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Dugu Bo of the Jade Phosphor Clan, Ye Xinlan of the Nine Heart Begonia Clan, Shi Potian of the Black Tortoise Clan, and the others said they were willing to owe him a favor.

Get lost. What the hell are your favors worth?!

What amused Lin Yu most was that even Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang came out and asked him to help evolve his martial soul, promising...

Promising to give him all the theoretical knowledge from his lifelong martial soul research.

That nearly made Lin Yu curse out loud.

If his current identity did not make it inappropriate for him to know Yu Xiaogang, Lin Yu would have spat right in Yu Xiaogang's face.

Why don't you piss and look at yourself? Are you even worthy?!

Trying to get something for nothing, are you?!

Lin Yu: Sorry! @Qian Daoliu, @Ning Fengzhi, @Xue Ye, @Dai Tianfeng, although your terms are very tempting, I prefer to hold my own fate in my hands. This wish is extremely important to me, and I cannot give it to anyone else!

Seeing Lin Yu's reply, Qian Daoliu, Ning Fengzhi, Xue Ye, and Dai Tianfeng all felt helpless and regretful.

However, Lin Yu's choice did not surprise them much. If they were in his position, they would not give this wish-granting opportunity to someone else either.

In their view, if Lin Yu had been an ordinary commoner who happened to answer the question correctly, he might have accepted their deal.

But now, it seemed that anyone capable of answering such a difficult question correctly could not possibly be an ordinary commoner.

Ning Fengzhi: Sigh! What a pity. But if you're willing, the gates of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will always be open to you!

Though the deal had failed, Ning Fengzhi thought that Lin Yu's future was bound to be limitless if he used this wish-granting opportunity well. Thus, he still expressed his appreciation for Lin Yu.

Bibi Dong: The gates of our Spirit Hall will always be open to you as well!

Not to be outdone by Ning Fengzhi, Bibi Dong spoke up after him.

Likewise, Xue Ye, Dai Tianfeng, Yu Yuanzhen, and everyone else all expressed that while the deal had not worked out, they could still be friends in the future.

After all, this wish-granting opportunity included the possibility of directly wishing to become a Rank 99 Titled Douluo.

Though they did not know whether the wish also came with Soul Rings, a Rank 99 Titled Douluo was already powerful enough. He could hunt soul beasts himself and obtain Soul Rings.

For a time, Lin Yu became the prized treasure of the entire Live Stream Room.

Of course, there were still some idiots in the Live Stream Room cursing Lin Yu for refusing to make a deal with them. But Lin Yu could not even be bothered to respond to such fools.

Ding! This Live Q&A has ended. The Live Stream Room will temporarily close in three minutes. You may choose to leave the Live Stream Room at any time.

The next Live Q&A will take place in seven days!

While Lin Yu exchanged pleasantries with the major figures of the Douluo Continent in the Live Stream Room, another line of blood-red words suddenly appeared before everyone.

At the same time, the cold voice sounded once again.

The next Q&A would be seven days later?

For a moment, many people fell into thought.

It seemed this Live Q&A would continue indefinitely rather than being a one-time event.

They just did not know what the reward for the next Live Q&A would be.
