They Really Do Give Rewards

Hearing about Ji Boda's tragic story, Gu Yuena's eyes reddened, and she threw herself into Gu Yue's arms.

Two silver-haired girls, identical in appearance and figure, embraced each other, causing Gu Yue to sway slightly backward as they pounced on her.

The two were pressed so tightly together that their equally impressive chests were squeezed and deformed, resulting in a fair and square collision between the northern and southern hemispheres.

Gu Yuena pretended to cry, burying her face in Gu Yue's shoulder and rubbing it back and forth, wiping her squeezed tears all over his clothes, and said sadly:

"Waaaaah, Gu Yue, look how pitiful he is, waaaaah..."

Gu Yue looked down and saw that a large part of her collar was wet, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

He wondered if he had transmigrated again. Ji Boda, Bai Yueguang, and Liu Ruyan were all there. Was this Douluo Continent, or some melodramatic soap opera?

He pulled one hand out from Gu Yuena's embrace and lightly tapped the identical head with his index finger:

Have you read the book I gave you?

Gu Yuena covered her forehead, sniffled, and whispered, "I saw it."

"There's no such plot in it?"

She looked away, her voice lowering slightly. "... Yes."

"You're still crying and rubbing against me, you're asking for a beating."

Gu Yuena's pretty face, which was covered in tears just a moment ago, instantly wiped away her tears the next moment; her change of expression was so fast that it was astonishing.

The girl giggled and hugged Gu Yue's neck tightly, snuggling against Gu Yue's cheek, which was strikingly similar to hers, and said coquettishly:

"Oh dear, I was just reminded of the past."

With this fake crying as an excuse, she was able to hug Gu Yue again with a legitimate reason, and she was already happily making plans in her mind.

At this rate, we're one step closer to capturing Gu Yue.

This whole thing is a result of Gu Yuena's elaborate scheme!

Gu Yue let her make a fuss for a while before speaking up to stop her.

Ever since she gained a clone, this girl has become increasingly restless, but with him keeping an eye on her, she hasn't caused any major trouble.

He gazed at Ji Boda on the light screen, momentarily at a loss for words to assess this sycophantic behavior, and the questions Qiankun Asking Love Valley also paused for a moment.

After a long pause, he continued, "What is your wish?"

Ji Boda wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took out a stack of manuscripts from his pocket, and choked out:

"These volumes contain theories that Ruyan casually mentioned that she was interested in back then. I want to finish writing them while I still have the breath left, to leave them for posterity, and also so that Ruyan will know that I have remembered her words, which she spoke casually back then, for my entire life. If I could see her again, I could tell her them in person..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue felt even more strongly that this person possessed the qualities of an unparalleled tortoise emperor, and he quickly interrupted:

If someone mocks you for being a sucker who takes the fall for someone else, would you admit it?

Ji Boda didn't like hearing this. He had just been wiping away tears, and immediately retorted:

"What did Ruyan do wrong? She just made the mistake that all women in the world make. It's because I wasn't good enough that I couldn't keep her heart."

Outside the Pope, many people stood there stunned, and after a long while, someone finally murmured a sentence.

"Turtle."

Gu Yue was really about to break down, so she simply announced the result:

"Although you are the ultimate Boiling Sheep, your words are heartfelt and your heart is clear. Your sincere answers have been fully revealed. As a special reward, you are granted your Second Martial Soul — the Green-Haired Turtle."

Before Ji Boda could react, a beam of emerald green light descended from the sky, enveloping him.

A dense green light continuously flowed into his body, condensing behind him into a phantom image covered in Green-Haired Turtle and a tortoise shell. A tuft of bright green hair grew on the top of its protruding head, swaying in the wind, making it look exactly like a tortoise that was so green it was unsettling.

As the Green-Haired Turtle phantom disappeared into his body, Ji Boda was sent back to the debate stage by the immense force of space.

The scholars closest to him abandoned all pretense of modesty and quickly gathered around, urging him to release his Martial Soul for a look.

Ji Boda was stunned by the question, still clutching the manuscript in his arms, unable to figure out what was going on.

He only uttered a few words from his heart, and he already has Second Martial Soul?

But his true wish was to see Liu Ruyan again.

He wanted to tell her everything he had kept in mind over the years.

Even though Ruyan was already married and in her seventies or eighties, he still wanted to see her.

He firmly believed that as long as he persisted, Liu Ruyan would eventually change her mind, because the power of love is limitless!

The urging voice pulled him back to reality from his fantasy, and Ji Boda had no choice but to open his right palm and summon his original Martial Soul.

Once everyone had a clear look, he withdrew it and instead Martial Soul Possession.

Green-Haired Turtle then covered his back, and even a tuft of bright green hair stood up on his forehead. After his Martial Soul Possession, his whole body glowed green.

After a moment of silence, an uncontrollable gasp erupted.

"It really is Second Martial Soul! He actually became Twin Martial Souls Soul Master?"

"Holy crap! After being someone's backup plan my whole life, I actually got Twin Martial Souls in my old age? This place is really giving out big prizes!"

Looking at Ji Boda's Green-Haired Turtle, and then thinking about the 99.99% and nine gold coins that had tormented him to the point of tears, Yu Xiaogang cried out in discontent:

"Why?! He spent his whole life being a vengeful fool and still managed to get Second Martial Soul, so why can't I, Grandwet, make up for that last little thing?"

Someone in the audience couldn't help but burst into laughter. "What else could it be? It's your first time going in, and you were rejected before you even finished asking the questions!"

"Hmph hmph hmph ah ah ah ah--"

Hearing the mocking laughter around her, Yu Xiaogang roared helplessly, then raised her hand and slapped her cheeks twice.

If he had known that a flat refusal would have cost him the opportunity, he should have sewed his mouth shut and waited for the voice to finish speaking.

Having missed it the first time, it's become incredibly difficult to get the reward again.

He won more than a dozen games, but still couldn't make up for that last bit of loss.

Ji Boda only went in once, and only got the chance by taking the initiative to admit defeat. He cried a few words about Liu Ruyan and his white moonlight, and came out with a Second Martial Soul.

In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi at Ji Boda's Second Martial Soul, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he shouldn't have hesitated earlier.

The secret realm that the Spirit Hall offered was actually real. Not only was it not a scam, but it could even grant Second Martial Soul, which was unheard of.

If he had decisively stood up and stepped onto the stage just now, he, Ning Fengzhi, might very well be the one who has now obtained this opportunity.

With Second Martial Soul, even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda cannot break through to the Soul Douluo, it is still possible to cultivate it into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, or even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, through the Second Martial Soul.

But the opportunity to obtain the Second Martial Soul had fallen into the hands of a frail old man. How could Ning Fengzhi not feel secretly regretful?

Yu Yuanzhen on the other side was also filled with remorse.

He looked at his eldest son, who was still acting crazy on stage, and his fists hardened. He was really itching to fight.

After today's event, we should at least give this unfilial son a good beating.

It's one thing to have lung fog on ordinary days, but to miss out on such a great opportunity is to squander it and let the reward slip by.

After her outburst, Yu Xiaogang stared intently at the debate stage with bloodshot eyes.

The reward is real, the aura of Ji Boda's Second Martial Soul is undeniable, and the God Level Golden Sacred Dragon Essence Blood is also 100% real.

He had already cut down 99.99% and accumulated nine more gold coins. He was just one last insignificant coin away from turning his life around. How could he possibly stop now?

He swallowed hard, quickly grabbed back the red team's seat on the debate stage, and shoved Ji Boda, trying to force him off the stage.

"In the last round, I Grandwet conceded defeat, letting you in for a try. Now that you've had your chance, it's time for me to continue the Grandwet."

Ji Boda was unwilling to give up; for Liu Ruyan's sake, he had to continue to secure opportunities to enter.

"You clearly admitted defeat before, so why are you trying to force me out of office again? I want to go back in! I haven't seen Yanyan yet!"

The referee quickly stepped forward to stop the two from almost coming to blows on the stage.

Just then, a voice slowly drifted over.

"This time, Ning will be the one."
