651, Devouring, Absorbing, Shock [First Update]_1

The heat of the golden flames was clearly far beyond that of the former blue-white flames, and it was the first time Gu Rong had mastered the ultimate fire, a wonderfully strange sensation indeed.

Not only was the upper limit of the flame's temperature very high, but he also possessed the ability to control the size of the flames and their direction.

Gu Rong clenched his fist, and the flames within the Steel Dragon obeyed as if commanded, erupting once more and roaring towards the sky.

The temperature of the air turned scorching hot, and the scene shook unstoppably with the high heat. In this trembling vision, the Steel Fire Dragon moved towards Lin Yi with heavy steps.

Ning Lolita, in this moment, raised her Seven-Treasures Glazed Pagoda, her first soul ring shining brightly. The spinning Glazed Tower quickly released a halo that fell upon Gu Rong.

This time, Gu Rong was prepared to use his fifth soul skill, known as "Infernal Netherfire". However, the flames had now transformed, and even the age of the soul ring had reached a hundred thousand years.

Gu Rong still had confidence that he could help the Sect Master inflict damage not lower than last time.

The fifth red soul ring rose slowly around him, and the ground trembled twice mightily as the Steel Fire Dragon began to move backwards.

This soul skill required sufficient distance to unleash.

After retreating about twenty meters, which was merely two steps back for the Steel Fire Dragon, it shook its massive head and let out a deep dragon roar, as if an internal mechanism for spewing flames was opening its valve.

The next second, the golden flames that enveloped it swelled momentarily, then were violently inhaled back into its body. The ultimate fire of Infernal Netherfire brewed within the Steel Dragon, before being expelled from the mouth of the Steel Fire Dragon.

This time, Lin Yi felt an even more searing heat rushing towards him. It seemed that the temperature of the flames truly soared to its peak only when the soul skill was released.

The golden flames baked Lin Yi's body, but they produced no effect on him whatsoever. The Steel Fire Dragon, as if enraged, drew a deep breath once more, and then spewed a denser flame, coupled with an angry roar.

Lin Yi once again closed his eyes. Unaffected by the heat, he only found the golden color to be piercingly bright...

After the attack ended, the lingering heat around Lin Yi quickly transformed into expanding golden light and struck towards Gu Rong.

The Steel Fire Dragon turned its body, all the golden flames concentrating on its tail in an instant. It swung its heavy tail towards the Damage Rebound. With a "boom", the golden flames exploded in mid-air, shattering the rebound.

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood Loss: 576438]

[Remaining Life: 883040693764]

[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]

[Random Reward: Attached Soul Bone DIY (500,000 years)]

[Host Reward: Attached Soul Bone DIY (1,000,000 years)]

New rewards appeared... To be honest, up to this point, Lin Yi had only seen soul bones appear in rewards, but he had never seen attached soul bones before.

From the name of the reward, was it about designing your own attached soul bone?

But as a Golden Junior reward, if it was just about designing an attached soul bone on his own, Lin Yi felt it did not quite match the level of this reward.

Of course, these speculative thoughts were merely fleeting through his mind; to understand the actual details of the rewards, Lin Yi would need to discern them through the descriptions.

After opening the description, Lin Yi found that it was nothing like the "DIY" he had imagined...

He said to Ning Lolita, "The damage was 576438, Gold Junior level. Your reward is to design your own attached soul bone."

Ning Lolita voiced her confusion, "Attached soul bones? To tell the truth, I've only seen one of those before."

Lin Yi: "The Eight-Spider Spear, right?"

Ning Lolita: "!!!"

"How did you know?!"

Lin Yi smiled without saying a word.

As far as Ning Lolita was concerned, although Tang San was a very talented Young Soul Master, he was after all still a newbie. How could Lin Yi, such a big shot, possibly know Tang San?

So how did Lin Yi know about Tang San's attached soul bone? The Eight-Spider Spear was just a name chosen by an individual—how could Lin Yi even be aware of that?

Lin Yi: "The Eight-Spider Spear is merely a thousand-year-level soul bone after all. The attached soul bones in this reward will all be of the ferocious beast class, from fifty thousand years level."

At that, Ning Lolita suddenly picked up on a particular word.

She repeated, puzzled: "All?"

Lin Yi nodded, "This reward is of the Gold Rank, so you definitely won't just be getting one attached soul bone—it's that simple, DIY the attached soul bone without needing blueprints, just use your brain and imagine."

As he spoke, Lin Yi pointed to his temple.

"Imagine?"

"Right, as long as you imagine what the attached soul bone you want looks like in your mind, and also imagine where it should be located on your body, it will immediately materialize at the same moment. After it appears, the soul bone will exist on your body for one minute before disappearing. Once the soul bone disappears, you can then imagine a new soul bone coming into being."

Lin Yi immediately emphasized, "Therefore, according to the rules, you can only have one manifested attached soul bone at a time, not two or more."

"So impressive, so powerful!"

Ning Lolita couldn't help but exclaim in awe.

Her exclamation was heartfelt because it was truly unbelievable.

By using one's imagination, it was possible to materialize soul bones, and all of them at the fifty thousand year level. The Eight-Spider Spear that had so amazed her before was just a thousand-year level after all.

Lin Yi continued, "As everyone knows, attached soul bones are far more precious than ordinary soul bones, not just because of their greater flexibility and resilience, but they also carry extra attributes."

Ning Lolita nodded, "Like the devouring trait of the Eight-Spider Spear."

Lin Yi: "So the attached soul bone you DIY will have three traits, and these three traits you can choose freely, but an attached soul bone can only carry one trait at a time. These three traits are Devour, Absorb, and Shock."

"Devour, I believe you should be quite familiar with—it consumes the opponent's life force through contact for your own use. Here, devour will also add an extra seventy percent armor penetration effect."

"Absorb is typically used in defense—it absorbs seventy percent of the opponent's energy, including kinetic, thermal, and so on. Thus, whether against physical attacks or energy-form attacks, it can neutralize seventy percent of the opponent's attacking power."

"It seems the absorb trait could be placed on shield-type attached soul bones."

Ning Lolita murmured while stroking her chin.

"The third trait, Shock, put simply, means the attached soul bone can vibrate. This can be controlled freely in terms of frequency and amplitude. A large amplitude vibration can blow away strength-type enemies. If the vibration frequency is increased to resonate with a material, it can even freely pass through solids without causing destruction."
