653, Power of the Scales_1

"Seventy percent of the energy was neutralized, which means only thirty percent of the thermal energy remained. But because of the attached soul bone, the flames didn't come in direct contact with me, so the ultimate fire essentially caused me no damage at all," Ning Lolita murmured to herself.

At the same time, Gu Rong had ceased the release of the flames, and everyone looked at the shield-shaped attached soul bone to find not a single scorched mark on its surface, indicating the soul bone was completely undamaged.

As the minute was up, the shield-shaped attached soul bone was once again deactivated, and Ning Lolita imagined another design for an attached soul bone in her mind. It quickly materialized on her right arm.

The thing she manifested this time surprised even Gu Rong beside her.

It was a cylindrical attached soul bone growing on her right arm, resembling a battering ram used to break through gates during wartime.

Without any introduction from Ning Lolita, Lin Yi already knew what attribute she had chosen.

"Shock."

This attribute did indeed easily bring to mind the appearance of the attached soul bone.

Then, Ning Lolita glanced towards Gu Rong and said with a slight smile, "Bone Uncle, can your Iron Dragon give me a try?"

Gu Rong was astonished to hear this.

The body of the Steel Fire Dragon had swelled to a height of fifty or sixty meters, but Sect Master, with a stature of merely one and a half meters, coupled with a cylindrical attached soul bone only a quarter of a meter long, how could it possibly knock down the Martial Soul?

However, practice brings truth, and Gu Rong knew this principle, so without any hesitation, he released the Steel Fire Dragon Martial Spirit.

If it really could knock down the steel fire dragon, towering like a mountain at fifty or sixty meters high, then he truly wanted to see how it was done.

The silver-hued, gigantic body below the stands shuffled its steps, turning its massive head towards Ning Lolita.

Gu Rong then issued a command, and the flames being spewed from the Iron Dragon's innards were quickly absorbed back into its body, given that the Sect Master definitely intended to test only physical collision.

However, the next thing Ning Lolita said surprised Gu Rong even more.

"Bone Uncle! Let it charge at me at full speed. It'll be fine!"

Gu Rong was taken aback. The Steel Fire Dragon, already as weighty as a mountain just standing there, was to charge at her, and at high speed?

Gu Rong was in no position to criticize, but he trusted it wouldn't pose any major issues and simply wished to witness the impact of the two entities colliding.

Soon, under Gu Rong's command, the Steel Fire Dragon charged towards Ning Lolita. It lowered its head, as if to pierce her body with the sharp angles on its head.

Ning Lolita took a small step back and her face turned stern. At that moment, the attached soul bone on her right arm began to vibrate in the same way Lin Yi's had earlier.

It seemed to be shaking at a high frequency, its edges blurring. But the amplitude of the vibration was clearly much larger than Lin Yi's had been and seemed to be growing!

Soon, the head of the Steel Dragon crossed the edge of the stands. Ning Lolita struck with her "soul bone" at the same moment, and the collision caused a thunderous noise. But the sound was that of metal vibrating, a humming buzz.

In the next instant, to everyone's astonishment, the shining silver colossus suddenly flew backward!

As for Ning Lolita, not only was her body unaffected, but even her expression did not change during the entire process—as if she hadn't exerted any effort at all. Even she herself was surprised.

Did it all just happen... purely because of the power of the attached soul bone itself?

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise as the Steel Dragon hit the ground, its heavy body creating a deep crater.

Gu Rong turned his head to look at the scene, his mouth hanging open for a long time.

He thought it was either the Sect Master who would withstand the Steel Dragon's collision or at least force the Steel Dragon back a few steps, but being sent flying was truly unexpected.

After a minute, the hammer-shaped soul bone on Ning Lolita's right arm disappeared.

The number of times a soul bone could be conjured was unlimited daily, and the demonstration just now was simply her attempting to test those three characteristics separately.

"Okay, Bone Uncle, go check your Martial Soul...it should be alright, right? Then let's start our second attack for today."

Gu Rong nodded his head.

He hadn't received any feedback here, which meant his Martial Soul was fine. In fact, his current Iron Fire Dragon Martial Spirit, known for being incredibly durable, had a certain convincing power.

Under Gu Rong's control, the Steel Fire Dragon swayed as it stood up, shaking its head as if it had been truly dazed. In the next second, golden flames spewed from the pores on its body again. It roared, seemingly voicing its displeasure, and walked this way.

Ning Lolita spoke up, "Bone Uncle, keep your Skill the same, but this time I will use two soul skills!"

Gu Rong nodded, raising his right hand high. The Steel Fire Dragon immediately stepped back two steps following the command, its body's flames burning fiercely.

The Glazed Tower revolved and ascended, the first and the second Soul Rings on Ning Lolita's body floated backward, forming two amplifying auras that fell onto Gu Rong.

The golden flames were suddenly sucked into the dragon's body. With a roar, the dragon opened its mouth wide, and the flames surged forward. This time the assault was fiercer, as if the increased speed of the flames had also increased their volume.

About half a minute later, the high temperature energy near Lin Yi swiftly transformed into Damage Rebound, rushing towards the Steel Dragon.

After repeating the same actions, this attack officially ended.

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Lost HP: 586397]

[Remaining HP: 883040106354]

[Damage Level: Gold (Senior)]

[Random Reward: Power of the Scales]

[Host Reward: Power of the Scales (Non-Critical)]

Power of the Scales? This looks like a rather unfamiliar new reward...Lin Yi immediately opened the description to read.

A moment later, he said to Ning Lolita:

"Damage 586397, Gold-tier advanced, your reward name is Power of the Scales."

Actually, after reading the description, Lin Yi oddly thought of a person - Captain America.

"The damage was just short of ten thousand higher..." Ning Lolita muttered nervously, then asked curiously, "Senior Lin Yi, what does this reward mean... What is the Power of the Scales?"

Lin Yi: "Have you ever used a set of scales?"

Upon hearing that, Ning Lolita furrowed her brows: "Although I haven't used it, I know what that is. Is it the kind of tool that uses the balance maintained by both sides to measure accurately?"

Lin Yi nodded: "This is indeed the common perception of such items among the public. A set of scales has two pans, always in a one-to-one mode, and the ultimate goal is to maintain a delicate balance between the two."
