Douluo's holy sword

Chapter 281 Reward and Sorrow

"So... I was in a coma for three days?" Ye Yao muttered vaguely while eating meat.

"Yeah." The sacred unicorn lying on the side nodded slightly.

"Okay, there's nothing to say, I'm used to it..." Ye Yao shrugged and said indifferently.

He was in a coma not from his injuries.

Just kidding, in this assessment, with the strength of the holy unicorn, he was either not injured, or he was seriously injured almost to the point of death.

And he, of course, is the former.

He was in a coma, mainly because his body was overdrawn.

He could only wait for his body and soul power to recover naturally, and even Avalon couldn't help him.

Isn't it just a coma, what a big deal...

As for Galahad...

Ye Yao sighed helplessly.

This guy who came and went in a hurry brought him too many questions.

Fortunately, though, he's not one of those guys who has to figure things out.

If you don’t know, you don’t know, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

It's not a bad thing anyway.

Now the important thing is...

"Senior, my assessment should be considered complete." Ye Yao ate all the rest of the food in one gulp, his throat twitched slightly, swallowed the food, and then said expectantly.

Before he passed out, he seemed to hear the sound of the completion of the assessment, but now Ye Yao still wanted to confirm.

The holy unicorn glanced at him inexplicably.

Although, as far as he was concerned, he hoped that Ye Yao would not pass the assessment and let Ye Yao settle down for a while, but the appearance of Galahad broke his plan.

Now, he has no reason to stop Ye Yao.

Alas, no matter, although the soul power is still a bit short, but other aspects are not bad...

Let him go.

Thinking of this, the holy unicorn nodded.

"Yes, you have passed the test."

"Congratulations, you have completed the sixth test of light."

At this moment, a familiar voice echoed in Ye Yao's mind.

"The ninth test of the light, the sixth test is completed, the assessment evaluation: perfect, the reward: the affinity of the light god is 120, and the current total value is [-]%..."

The affinity of 120 five...

Even in the 10-year history of the God Realm, this affinity ranks among the top among many inheritors.

What's more, Ye Yao has just passed the sixth exam, and there are three exams to come.

It can be expected that when Ye Yao completes all the assessments, his affinity with gods will reach a theoretically highest level, which is unprecedented and even unprecedented.

And Ye Yao now has a little aftertaste.

I'm thinking about...

Why does this light god affinity feel a bit like reading a novel in a previous life...

Well, what's that called...

Oh, remembered.

"Su Hailun's Joy"?
With this understanding, Ye Yao seems to be able to figure out many things.

Isn't it sister goddess, do you like me very much?Why do you still engage in so many twists and turns in this kind of thing?

However, it is not over yet.

"The remaining rewards will be distributed by the sacred unicorn." The voice in his head continued.

"Huh? There are more?" Ye Yao was stunned for a moment.

The main reason is that the first five tests were too unrealistic, and they only gave the God of Light an affinity, so he didn't react for a while.

The first five exams were too difficult, so the rest of the rewards were deprived.

However, the difficulty of the assessment this time is definitely not easy.

Therefore, rewards or something should be taken for granted.

And, speaking of rewards...

I don't know if it's the illusion of the holy unicorn, but he seems to see a strong...

greedy?

No, I must be wrong, how could the Son of Light...

"Senior!" While the holy unicorn was thinking, he suddenly found a figure with shining eyes in front of him.

"What's the reward?" Ye Yao asked hungrily... no, excitedly.

"Is it a god bestowed spirit ring? It must be a god bestowed spirit ring!"

The holy unicorn saw in a trance that what was in front of him was not a person, but a husky wagging its tail wildly.

However, Ye Yao didn't care about this at all.

At this moment, the words "God Bestowed Soul Ring" have completely occupied his mind.

"Suck..." Ye Yao looked at the sacred beast eagerly, regardless of his image, and took a mouthful of saliva that was about to drip from time to time.

Seeing Ye Yao's posture, the holy unicorn was inexplicably scared.

"No, I'm sorry, the reward is not a god-given spirit ring..." the holy unicorn said with some embarrassment.

Ye Yao's expression began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally hungry...excited expression froze on his face.

His eyes lost focus, his expression was in a trance, his lips squirmed slightly, as if to say "Why is this..."

Her lips were tightly pressed together, and when she came back to her senses, tears flickered in her eyes, and her cheeks twitched, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Finally, calm returned.

No, maybe indifference is more correct.

The holy unicorn couldn't help but marvel.

It's not that he hasn't seen human beings before, and it's not that he doesn't know that human beings have extremely rich emotions, but it's really the first time he's seen people's expressions change so much in just a few seconds.

Long experience.

"Then what's the reward?" Ye Yao said indifferently.

Without the god bestowed spirit ring, his whole body is not well.

The divine unicorn has complicated eyes.

Although I don't know why Ye Yao is so persistent about the god-given spirit ring, but now he still needs to explain.

Because, the reward for the sixth test is much more precious than the god bestowed spirit ring...

"Three days." The holy unicorn said softly.

"After three days, you come here again, and then I will give you the reward for the sixth test."

"After that...you...just leave."

"Three days?" Ye Yao nodded, then turned and left.

It's only three days, he can afford to wait.

Taking advantage of these times, you can also say goodbye to old friends.

After all, it can be predicted that after leaving this time, at least within a few years, he should not come back.

"I remember, your current soul power should be level 55, right?" The voice of the sacred unicorn came from behind Ye Yao.

"Well, not bad." Ye Yao turned around and replied with some doubts.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's fine." The holy unicorn shook its head with a calm expression.

Ye Yao glanced at the holy unicorn, but didn't see any problem, turned around and left here.

Level 55...

Not many levels, not many levels...

It was just right.

"If you are less than level 55, then you may still have to stay in the Morning Star Forest for a while..." the holy unicorn whispered.

Then, he stood up and faced the temple.

"My lord goddess..." the holy unicorn prayed devoutly.

"After tens of 10 years, even a soul beast would feel a long time, your faithful servant is finally about to complete his mission."

The holy unicorn closed its eyes and waited quietly.

"Thank you for your persistence over the years..." The voice as warm as light sounded in the ear of the holy unicorn.

An invisible hand seemed to caress the sacred unicorn's mane.

"Thank you for your selfless dedication over the years..."

"This is what I should do." The voice of the holy unicorn was full of calm.

"Then, let us..." The goddess' voice gradually became ethereal.

The holy unicorn nodded slightly.

In front of the temple, the elegant phantom beast quietly guarded what he was supposed to guard as before.

It was like this in the past, and it seems that it will be like this in the future...

Three days later...

"Senior, here I come." Ye Yao approached the holy unicorn and said.

In the past three days, he bid farewell to the familiar beasts headed by the gluttonous lion, and all the soul beasts expressed "reluctance" for his departure, and invited him to come and play when they had time.

At least that's how he understood it...

The sacred unicorn is lying in its usual position as usual.

"Ye Yao, now, I will give you the reward for the sixth test." The voice of the holy unicorn was soft.

Ye Yao was concentrating, with a hint of anticipation on his face.

Even if there is no god bestowed spirit ring, the other rewards should not be much worse.

"The reward for the sixth test is..."

"I."

The voice of the holy unicorn fell, but Ye Yao gradually petrified.

After a long time, Ye Yao stammered and said, "Ex...senior? What do you mean?"

Wouldn't it be the same as he thought?

The holy unicorn looked at him peacefully without any fluctuations.

"Senior, let's not talk about how I brought you out of here, just tell me what will happen to you as a 10-year soul beast after you go out, you should also know... Could it be that you want to change form? But you I'm really willing to give up so many years of cultivation..." Ye Yao's mind was in a mess.

Why is such a big beast given away for nothing?
Although he is a bit greedy for the almost invincible strength of the sacred unicorn, but if he is really taken out, then it will really alarm the people of the whole continent.

It is conceivable how many open and dark arrows he will encounter.

Even with the protection of the sacred unicorn, his life should be worry-free, but he will definitely be in trouble.

"No, that's not what I meant." The holy unicorn shook its head.

"I mean... I will be your sixth spirit ring."

This speech was like a bolt from the blue, causing Ye Yao's head to go blank.

Good guy!I'm direct good guy!

Even more outrageous than the previous one!
"Senior, are you kidding me?" After some time, Ye Yao came back to his senses and closed his wide mouth, with a strange expression on his face.

Don't make such a joke!
"I'm not joking." The holy unicorn looked serious.

"..."

"Why?" Ye Yao whispered.

"Could it be because of the order of the goddess..." Ye Yao's expression turned ugly.

"No, it's not an order from the goddess, it's entirely my own choice." The holy unicorn said calmly.

"Then why!" Ye Yao's voice involuntarily became louder.

Why, you are already a soul beast of 70 years, even with your own strength, there is almost no danger in this world.

With the power of the goddess, it is almost invincible.

Why do such a thing?
If it's not Goddess' order, then why are you doing this!
Ye Yao didn't think that he, a heir with such a big face, could give a 70-year-old soul beast for free.

"Do you know my exact number of years?" said the holy unicorn quietly.

"79 nine years."

Ye Yao was shocked again.

Not only has it just reached 70 years, but it is about to reach 80...

and many more!

Ye Yao suddenly remembered what the sacred unicorn once said.

"With my aptitude, I couldn't survive the 60-year catastrophe, but because the goddess is pity..."

"Senior, you..." Ye Yao said after being silent for a while.

"Is it because of the 80-year catastrophe?"

The Holy Unicorn seemed somewhat relieved.

He said: "Yes, it is precisely because of that catastrophe."

"When I experienced the last catastrophe, I already understood that with my strength, it is impossible to pass the next catastrophe..."

"So, the next catastrophe is my limit."

"Is there no solution?" Ye Yao whispered.

"No." The holy unicorn shook its head, calmly accepting this cruel reality.

"So, even if I don't become your soul ring, I will die in 11 years."

"In this case, at least there is..." Ye Yao still wanted to say something.

"Do you think, to me, there is any difference between 11 years and three days?" Interrupting Ye Yao, the holy unicorn said.

"For me, it doesn't make any difference," said the holy unicorn.

But it's all just a snap of the fingers, a matter of sleep.

His death was irrevocable, he knew that.

Ye Yao closed his mouth and didn't speak any more, but a sense of sadness emanated from Ye Yao's heart, almost congealing into substance.

Although he always complained about the unreliability of the sacred unicorn and the lack of strict assessment, but after more than half a year of getting along, he still liked this pure phantom beast from the bottom of his heart.

Really think of it as a friend.

"Is there really no other way?" Ye Yao asked again with a hoarse voice.

The holy unicorn looked softly and shook its head again.

Ye Yao regards him as a friend, why doesn't he do the same?

"Ye Yao..."

"Instead of letting me die with no effect in the end, let me do my last part in this life, for you, for the goddess..."

He devoted almost [-]% of his life to the Goddess of Light.

He hoped that at the end, he would draw a successful conclusion to his life.

"So, Ye Yao, can you please agree to my request?" The holy unicorn looked at Ye Yao tenderly, as if looking at his own child.

This is not a reward for his successor as a servant of the goddess.

It is a request given as a friend.

It is also the last help he can bring to Ye Yao.

Ye Yao lowered his head and remained silent without speaking.

If there were other soul masters here, I'm afraid they would have gone crazy with surprise.

A soul beast that is close to 80 years old has offered to be your soul ring. This is a wonderful thing that no one can even imagine!

That's not how the pie falls from the sky!
Moreover, a 10-year soul beast will inevitably drop a soul bone!

And it is a powerful soul bone that can fit the soul master himself to the greatest extent.

This is really a great opportunity.

Ye Yao should be happy.

Didn't he ever think that one day he could have a 10-year soul ring and soul bone?

Of course he thought about it!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to inquire about the traces of the 10-year-old soul beast.

The fifth spirit ring has a lifespan of 7 years, so the sixth and seventh spirit rings don't dare to say, but, even if he says he doesn't want the eighth and ninth spirit rings, how can he actually do it? Totally out of ideas.

but……

Why has he really reached this point, but he is so...

sad……

Looking at the gentle and expectant sacred unicorn, Ye Yao really wanted to turn around and leave.

Isn't there still 11 years left!Isn't it a catastrophe!
There may not be any other solution!
However, reason told him that perhaps, there was really no other way.

How far can he reach in 11 years?
At most, it is nothing more than inheriting the position of the Goddess of Light.

However, the holy unicorn said that even the Goddess of Light could not do this.

Then, it means that, as the successor, he...

Can't do it either.

Therefore, he can only watch the sacred unicorn die from the catastrophe...

Ye Yao thought for a long time, maintaining a posture from sunrise to dusk.

The holy unicorn also waited quietly, without any impatience.

It wasn't until the full moon and frosty sky that Ye Yao raised his head under the moonlight.

The face that was originally rosy is now full of ashes.

He opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if he hadn't spoken for many years.

"it is good……"

The holy unicorn showed a sincere smile.

"Thank you."

Ye Yao closed his eyes wearily.

If possible, he would rather never have this kind of thank you.

He only wants his friend to live.
