Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 184 Dark Armor
For a moment, Chen Yao's eyes rolled around and his expression was inexplicable.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Chen Yao's reaction and finally realized something was wrong. She asked with some caution:

"You asked her what she wanted to do?"

"I'm helping you think of ways to get revenge on her."

Chen Yao stroked his chin, with a weird smile on his face.

"Really?"

Zhu Zhuqing was a little skeptical.

"Crack!"

Just when Chen Yao was about to say something, suddenly, the sound of a door being pushed open was heard.

Soon after, Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena came in carrying large and small bags.

"Tsk!"

After putting the things down, Qian Renxue saw the attitude of Zhu Zhuqing and Chen Yao in the hall, and an unhappy voice came out of her mouth. Just when Qian Renxue wanted to be sarcastic to Zhu Zhuqing as usual.

Chen Yao didn't give her any chance and spoke.

"You're back just in time. You guys should pack up. We'll go to the Star Forest later."

Gu Yuena was not surprised to hear this, but Qian Renxue was a little surprised.

"You broke through?"

Chen Yao smiled and nodded.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to break through this bottleneck in just half a year."

The upgrade from level 79 to 80 was not comparable to the previous upgrades. It was only by relying on the dual cultivation of soul power with Qian Renxue that he saved a lot of effort.

"Let's go. You reached the bottleneck of level 50 a few days ago. I guess you can't wait to absorb the spirit ring. Let's not waste time. Na'er, open up a space tunnel and take us directly to the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest."

As he spoke, Chen Yao put Zhu Zhuqing down and slowly stood up.

When Gu Yuena heard this, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on her face.

She did not forget that Chen Yao would never dare to ride in her space tunnel before, for fear that he would be led into a trap.

And now that he actually took the initiative to propose it, doesn't it mean that Chen Yao has completely trusted her?

"Space tunnel? Is Sister Na's martial spirit a space-related one?"

Qian Renxue was stunned when she heard this and asked.

During this period of time, Qian Renxue also saw the situation clearly. Gu Yuena was the military force in this house, and there would be no good end if she went against her. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, she still submitted to her on the surface, calling her Sister Na happily.

But even though he was getting along better with Gu Yuena, he knew nothing about Gu Yuena's martial spirit. After all, the two Douluo elders he sent out at the beginning were slapped to death before they could even force out Gu Yuena's martial spirit.

Not only Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing was also curious about this and cast her gaze over.

"You can understand that."

Gu Yuena did not explain too much. She opened her hands and the soul power around her surged. A silver light suddenly lit up in the hall. As the light continued to gather, a silver vortex appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing showed surprise in their eyes, but Chen Yao frowned and spoke with some worry.

"Is there any problem?"

Gu Yuena was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Yao's questioning and snorted.

"Don't worry. Space is an extremely high-level existence among all elements. I have never let my guard down and have mastered it quite well. Plus, with my familiarity with the Star Forest, there will definitely be no mistakes!"

Hearing Gu Yuena's firm tone, Chen Yao felt slightly relieved and nodded.

"That's fine. Let's go."

"Patta!"

Along with a flash of silver light on the outskirts of the Star Forest, four figures jumped out and landed steadily on the ground.

"This is incredible! This is really the Star Forest. We actually crossed half of Douluo Continent and arrived here in just half an hour!"

At this moment, Qian Renxue looked around at the familiar scenes around her, her eyes full of disbelief.

Zhu Zhuqing also stared with wide eyes, her face full of surprise.

No matter whether it was Gu Yuena's incredible methods or the Star Dou Great Forest in front of them, which was full of legends in the hearts of all soul masters, they were all extremely curious.

On the other side, although Chen Yao was also riding Gu Yuena's space express for the first time, he was mentally prepared and was not overly surprised. He looked around, thought for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

"The quality of your Netherworld Spirit Cat's martial soul is not low, but it's not that high either. So don't choose offensive soul skills in the first few soul rings. At least within the third ring, choose soul skills that can amplify yourself. It's a panacea, and you won't be eliminated when you reach a high level in the future."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded when she heard this. Chen Yao had already mentioned this to her before.

If she did not have Chen Yao's protection, she would naturally not be able to choose growth-oriented soul skills. She would have to add soul skills with various attack capabilities, and combine them into a set for circulation to maximize her own combat effectiveness. Only in this way would she have a chance of defeating Zhu Zhuyun.

But now, with Chen Yao backing her up, Zhu Zhuyun's originally fatal hurdle has become an unnecessary obstacle. Zhu Zhuqing will naturally not be as extreme as before and will start to consider the future.

Then he spoke out.

"Let the teacher decide!"

Although her relationship with Chen Yao was becoming more and more ambiguous, just a thin layer of paper away from breaking, but now it was in front of Gu Yuena, she did not dare to be presumptuous and chose to respect her teacher.

Chen Yao had no intention of making fun of this, and continued.

"I have discussed this with you before. Your second soul skill would be best to be something similar to the Dai family's White Tiger Diamond Transformation. I have a limited understanding of other soul beasts, but I do know of a dark soul beast that is suitable for you."

"What is it?" Zhu Zhuqing asked impatiently, looking at Chen Yao with joy on her face, feeling extremely excited.

"Netherworld Armor is a special soul beast made of energy. If you absorb it, there is a high probability that you will gain a soul skill called Netherworld Transformation. Within a certain period of time, you can adjust your own attributes according to your own wishes. For example, if you are more inclined to agility attack, you can transform your own defense and strength into extreme speed."

When Chen Yao didn't have Hei Zhe, he worried a lot about spirit rings, and he almost read through all the information about dark-type spirit beasts in the Spirit Hall's books.

Now it is natural and easy to do.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing by, was slightly moved by Chen Yao's introduction, but also a little confused, so she asked.

"But teacher, I don't care about defense, but if I also adjust my strength to speed, then I won't be able to do any damage, and when I fight, it will be like tickling me?"

After hearing this, Chen Yao was a little speechless.

"You think I've been teaching you something during this time? I've been training you to control the dark energy in your martial soul. Coupled with this ghost transformation soul skill, it can greatly enhance the dark energy of your martial soul. In this way, your attacks don't need to rely entirely on the strength of your body, but rely on the explosion of the dark energy in your martial soul. Do you understand?"

In short, it is to transform Zhu Zhuqing from a physical attack assassin into a magical attack assassin.

Anyway, her arms and legs are so thin that no matter how much she trains her physical strength, in the end, it will just be that. It would be better for her to focus on tapping into the dark energy in the Nether Spirit Cat.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood what Chen Yao meant when she heard it. If she really embarked on the path that Chen Yao mentioned, then this Netherworld Transformation soul skill would be particularly suitable for her. However, in addition to excitement, Zhu Zhuqing also felt a little nervous at this moment.

After all, no one in the Zhu family had ever walked the road that Chen Yao mentioned, so she didn't know what the outcome would be.

"Netherworld Armor? Instead of thinking about whether this soul beast is suitable, you might as well think about how to find a Netherworld Armor. If I remember correctly, this soul beast is extremely rare!"

At this time, Qian Renxue stood up and interjected.

As a person who has been the focus of training in the Spirit Hall since childhood, Qian Renxue is not a half-baked person like Chen Yao. Before she was 10 years old, she had memorized most of the texts of the Spirit Hall. She also had some impression of the information about the Dark Armor mentioned by Chen Yao, and she poured cold water on Zhu Zhuqing without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing revealed the kind of disappointed look that Qian Renxue wanted to see, but Chen Yao remained calm and looked confident.

Under Qian Renxue's suspicious gaze, Chen Yao put on a confident smile and looked at Gu Yuena.

"Finding a soul beast is the easiest thing. Na'er, I leave it to you. Go find it."

After these words were spoken, Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing were a little confused.

What do you mean by finding a soul beast is the easiest? If it were easy, then wouldn’t every soul master in Douluo Continent possess a soul ring that best suits him or her?
As the two girls looked at them in doubt, Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at Chen Yao, then closed her eyes slightly, spread her mind, and an invisible ripple that was invisible to the public spread out, covering the entire Star Dou Forest in just a moment.

Not to mention that this is Gu Yuena's territory. Moreover, even if Gu Yuena is seriously injured, she is still a genuine god-level powerhouse. Her mental power is also genuine divine consciousness. If she wants to catch a soul beast in her own territory, isn't that a piece of cake?
After a moment, Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes, and under the expectant gazes of everyone, she slightly parted her red lips and spoke softly.

"It is indeed the same as Xue'er said. It is an extremely rare soul beast, and most of them exist for thousands of years. There is only one, and it has reached 900 years of cultivation. I don't know if this meets your requirements."

"900 years?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing no longer cared about why Gu Yuena was able to learn the information about the soul beast in an instant, but fell into a state of loss. Qian Renxue on the side laughed with glee, showing her big white teeth.

Chen Yao pinched Qian Renxue's round breasts speechlessly, causing her to blush and pout.

After giving a little warning, Chen Yao explained to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Don't be so sad. The maximum limit of the second soul ring is 764 years, which only represents most people. In the first half of the year, I have trained the dark soul power of your martial soul. In addition, Na'er will occasionally use soul power pressure to train your physical strength.

These two things go hand in hand. It is not impossible for you to absorb spirit rings beyond your limit. In addition, I can protect you. Even if you fail, I will not let you die. So go ahead and give it a try."

When Zhu Zhuqing heard this, she nodded excitedly.

"Yes!"

Chen Yao was a little surprised to see Zhu Zhuqing agreed so readily, and asked suspiciously.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll trick you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked towards Chen Yao dimly and spoke with a hesitant breath.

"I don't believe you, a filthy and shameless old man, would want me to die."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing straightened her chest appropriately.

Chen Yao's eyes widened when he saw the trembling Big Bear and Little Bear. He was afraid that something might happen if he wasn't careful, and his mouth became dry for a moment.

"Ahem, pay attention to your image. Let's go get the spirit ring."

After coughing twice to hide his embarrassment, Chen Yao gestured to Gu Yuena to lead the way.

The habitat of the Dark Armor was not far from Chen Yao and the others. After passing through a dense forest, they came to a small hill that looked like a grave.

With a raise of her hand, Gu Yuena smashed the hill into pieces. With a loud bang, a dark path leading directly to the underground appeared before everyone's eyes.

Just when Chen Yao and others wanted to step in, they were stopped by Gu Yuena. Then, in the gazes of several people, Gu Yuena stretched out her hand towards the depths of the secluded path.

Along with a strong wind, a piercing scream like the howling of a ghost came from underground, and then a human figure was seen flying out from underneath.

His entire body was covered in pitch-black, thick armor, but there was no substance in the gaps of the armor, as if it was a suit of armor supporting itself out of thin air. Under the helmet, it was also pitch black and blurry, and no outline of his facial features could be seen.

This is the soul beast, Dark Armor.

This dark armor had no power to resist in Gu Yuena's hands. A slight squeeze would make it die.

After throwing it in front of Zhu Zhuqing, Gu Yuena waved gently at the dark path.

Then, we saw that the thick clay around began to gather together and formed a small hill exactly the same as before, covering the dark path.

Gu Yuena didn't mind helping Chen Yao and the people around him find soul beasts to hunt. She was the monarch of the entire soul beast clan and was not restricted to a certain type of soul beast. In her opinion, it was an honor for these soul beasts to be fond of Chen Yao.

However, Chen Yao has achieved his goal, so Gu Yuena will naturally restore its habitat and protect the remaining dark armors so that they will not be given to other humans for nothing.

Qian Renxue who was standing by was stunned when she saw Gu Yuena's casual operation. She had just shown her space-related skills, so how come she could control the earth element in the blink of an eye? What kind of heaven-defying existence was Gu Yuena's martial soul?

Qian Renxue was puzzled, while Zhu Zhuqing didn't care about the details. She stared at the dying Dark Armor in front of her, with a greedy look on her face.
