Actually, Five Gods Were Hidden Among the Five-Star Characters
"Huh?"
Hu Liena's eyes went round as Shen Luo's words shocked her once again.
Was it really this dramatic? She still hadn't recovered from her sadness.
Ninety card slots appeared before Hu Liena again. Sure enough, the first two held five-star characters glowing with golden light.
What was more, neither bore the mark of a lost 50/50. They were both genuine five-stars!
"Two genuine five-stars! Two genuine five-stars!"
Hu Liena jumped up and down in excitement.
Even the people who had gone to trace the Elemental Reactions looked over, all astonished by Hu Liena's luck.
"This girl's ruthless. Even after losing the 50/50, she charged straight for guaranteed pity. Compared to her, the two of us really are a little timid."
Ling Yuan glanced at Yue Guan as she finished, her expression complicated. The two of them still had their guaranteed pity saved up and hadn't dared to pull.
"Nana, hurry and show us what your genuine five-stars look like!"
Xie Yue hurried over, gazing in amazement at the ninety card slots floating in midair.
He wasn't the only one. Even the people from Spirit Hall who were kneeling were intensely curious, Bibi Dong most of all.
Every one of them was a Titled Douluo. Seeing how lucky Hu Liena had been, they couldn't help imagining what it would be like when they pulled cards themselves.
More Soul Power meant more chances! And as Titled Douluo, they had Soul Power above level ninety!
All the cards merged into Hu Liena's body, and she eagerly switched between her four characters to show them off.
Five-star Jean, two-Constellation four-star Fischl, two-Constellation four-star Chongyun, and one-Constellation five-star Yae Miko!
When she switched to Yae Miko, everyone was stunned by the genuine five-star's beauty.
"Damn, those long legs..."
Xie Yue's expression grew exaggerated, only for his sister to slap him aside. "Don't you dare lust after my Yae Miko!"
Yae Miko was indeed beautiful, and her bearing was exquisite.
When she appeared over Hu Liena, every little frown and smile drew the eyes of most of the men, and even the women's gazes weren't spared.
Yan asked curiously, "Is she a fox? I saw her fox ears. They're so cute."
As he spoke, Yan jumped up to touch Yae Miko's ears, only for the noble fox lady to slap his hand away.
"Hmph."
Yae Miko gave a soft snort.
"What the hell?!"
Yan cried out, "Why can your genuine five-star interact with people? Ours can only make a few movements or say things to themselves at most!"
Hu Liena was a little bewildered too. "I don't know."
Shen Luo said, "There are two reasons. First, she's a god's familiar, so she's slightly different from the other five-star characters."
"Second, she has one Constellation. The more Constellations a character has, the more independent they become. A character with full Constellations can even separate from you and gain a physical body."
"Then not only can you use her abilities, but she can also use them herself. It's the same as gaining another combatant with identical strength."
In fact, reaching three Constellations came with a perk: one could experience that character's Story Quest.
But Shen Luo wasn't sure whether that counted as a reward, so he didn't plan to mention it for now.
Hu Liena couldn't help saying, "Wow. A god's familiar?!"
Shen Luo nodded. "Among all the current genuine five-star characters, five gods are hidden. I'll keep you in suspense for now and see if you can guess who they are."
"Damn!"
"There are five gods hidden among them?!"
Hearing this, everyone was struck by a belated shock.
Yan hurriedly asked, "Lord God, is there anything special about five-star god characters?"
Shen Luo said, "Their strength is naturally a step higher, several degrees stronger than an ordinary genuine five-star. They can also speak at zero Constellations and interact with people through words and actions, like Yae Miko."
Hearing this, Hu Liena looked happily at Yae Miko's image.
That radiant pink beauty, those two long, fair, beautiful legs beneath her skirt-Hu Liena felt as though her sexual orientation might change because of her.
Just then, Yae Miko actually raised a hand and gently lifted Hu Liena's chin, as though examining her, a sly smile playing at the corners of her lips.
That move nearly swept Hu Liena off her feet. She didn't dare say a word, and all she could do was stare with stars in her eyes.
"Big Sister, could you lift my chin too?"
Yan stepped forward with a smile, only for Yae Miko's brows and eyes to droop. Looking displeased, she slapped him across the face again.
Because the character was an illusion, the slap was neither light nor heavy, but it struck Yan right in the heart.
"Hmph."
Yae folded her arms and turned her head to the side, ignoring everyone.
Hu Liena smiled. "Big Sister Yae must have noticed that I have fox attributes just like her, so she likes me!"
As soon as she finished, Yae Miko really did ruffle her hair.
Shen Luo said, "Each additional Constellation grants some bonuses. One-Constellation Yae Miko's bonuses are a shorter interval between Elemental Bursts and greater Elemental Burst damage."
So that was how it worked. How powerful would a character with full Constellations be?
Everyone couldn't help but wonder.
They simply didn't know that Furina, who was beside Shen Luo at that very moment, was a god at full stars.
Ling Yuan asked, "Lord God, has no one pulled a five-star god yet?"
Shen Luo said, "Just see whether your five-stars interact with you, and you'll know."
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads without exception. So far, only Yae Miko had shown that ability.
Shen Luo remembered, however, that Yue Guan's guaranteed pity was Nahida, the Dendro Archon.
But since he had already said he would keep them in suspense, he wouldn't tell Yue Guan. Yue Guan would pull on that guaranteed pity sooner or later anyway, so there was no rush.
Bibi Dong couldn't help asking, "Lord God, how much longer do we have to kneel...?"
Shen Luo frowned. "How long has it even been?"
Bibi Dong lowered her head in shame and said no more, but Elder Demon Bear said anxiously, "Then can we pull cards here while kneeling?"
Shen Luo said, "..."
"No."
For the people from Spirit Hall, kneeling no longer counted as torture. Watching others pull cards while they couldn't-that was torture!
"Nana, what are your Miko's level-twenty ascension materials?"
Yan asked curiously.
Hu Liena said, "One of them is five scales from a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul at Martial Soul level twenty."
Hearing this, Yan couldn't help saying, "Looks like you'll have to find time to visit the Heaven Dou Empire too."
"My Xiangling, Gorou, and Barbara's ascension materials can only be found at Blazing Fire Academy, the Elephant Armor Sect, and Skywater Academy, respectively."
Shen Luo thought to himself that it couldn't be helped. After all, the Five Elements Academy just happened to exist on the Douluo Continent.
They had the purest elemental Soul Masters, and most ascension materials could only be harvested from them.
Hu Liena shrugged. "I'll get to level twenty first. Speaking of which, where's Elder Snake Lance? I heard he's a lightning-oriented Soul Master. I can fight him to gain character experience."
Just then, speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived!
Two extravagantly shaped ice sculptures stood silently atop a rapidly moving sheet of frost.
Above the two ice sculptures, a golden figure with three pairs of wings flew swiftly behind them.
Those three pairs of wings looked very familiar, as though the Angel God Statue not far away had come to life.
