Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

Chapter 103 Changes, Soul Manifestation

The extra field of vision wasn't some kind of illusion appearing before Lin Yu's eyes, but rather a real, simultaneous view of things from two completely different angles.

The feeling was extremely strange, as if his eyes suddenly changed from two to six, and the images in front of him and to the sides unfolded in his mind at the same time, without overlapping but echoing each other.

The two additional views come from a relatively low position, and when looking in other directions, there is a noticeable upward angle. Moreover, the things seen in each view are reddish, as if looking at the world through an extremely thin red chip.

Lin Yu blinked subconsciously, closing her eyes, but the extra pairs of vision remained.

He withdrew those two somewhat strange gazes, then opened his eyes and looked at his shoulders.

Then Lin Yu saw that the structure of the golden armor on his shoulders had completely changed.

Originally, the shoulder pads were just a standard shoulder pad structure, with a few thickened gold scales stacked together. They were simple and practical, neither particularly attractive nor unattractive.

Now, those scales have somehow reformed into two complete lion heads. The lion heads' eye sockets, nose bridge, cheekbones,

The snout is meticulously crafted from fine, golden scales.

The arrangement of the scales was carefully designed, following the muscle texture of the lion's head, making the whole head look like a work of art carved by a relief master on armor.

The lion's mane is made up of layers of even smaller scales, each scale slightly raised, creating a fluffy and flowing appearance. When the light shines on it, the shimmering light and shadow on the golden scales and mane seem to be truly fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, the two lion heads on its shoulders had their eyes slightly closed, with only a sliver of dark red light shining through their slits, like a ferocious beast that had not yet fully awakened.

Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he mentally sent his thoughts toward the lion head on his left shoulder.

The lion's head on the left shoulder suddenly opened its eyes, making a very faint rustling sound as its eyelids opened.

Those eyes were a pair of red, vertical pupils, long and sharp, gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen under the light.

The moment Lin Yu's gaze met those vertical children's eyes, an invisible pressure suddenly erupted from the depths of the children, directly impacting his mind.

Caught off guard, he was even frozen in place by the oppressive aura for a moment, his heart skipping a beat.

Because he was staring directly at the pair of vertical-pupiled children, he could clearly see his own appearance from the lion's head's perspective.

In the past, after being possessed by the Golden Armor, his body was simply covered with a layer of dense golden scales, with thickened armor at the joints and raised dorsal fin-like scales on his back, making him look somewhat like a half-dragon.

While it is imposing, it is far from being domineering.

But now, from the perspective of the lion head on his shoulder, Lin Yu saw that his head, which should have only been covered by ordinary head armor, was now covered by a complete lion head-shaped helmet!

The helmet was shaped exactly like the lion's head of the Three-Headed Flame Lion, except that it was made entirely of golden scales.

The lion's mouth opened, engulfing his entire head. His face emerged from the depths of the lion's mouth, with the upper jaw and bridge of the nose above his forehead, while his temples and chin were firmly protected by the lower jaw and fangs of the lion's head.

The mane of the lion-headed helmet extended down the back of his head and neck, merging with the scales on his back. Overall, he resembled a humanoid dragon-lion with a lion's head on one shoulder and an even larger lion's head on his head.

Unexpectedly, absorbing the soul bone could also change the appearance of the armor, adding a set of corresponding beast head accessories to it.

Lin Yu let out a soft breath. In that case, she would have to be more careful when absorbing soul bones in the future, and would have to choose those soul bones from soul beasts that were relatively powerful and domineering in their previous lives.

If it absorbs a rabbit-like soul bone, the golden armor automatically puts a rabbit-ear helmet on its head—

Just imagining the image sent a chill down Lin Yu's spine. Rabbit ears weren't entirely unacceptable—no, they were still unacceptable.

Strength is temporary, but style will stay with you for life. This armor will accompany him through countless battles, and every appearance will determine others' first impression of him; he absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake in terms of aesthetics.

Lin Yu looked down at his shoulders again. Two golden lion heads sat quietly on his shoulders, their vertical pupils flashing with dark red light.

The eyes of a dragon, the head of a lion. Although the combination is a bit strange, it can't hide its coolness.

The combination of features from different species creates an unexpectedly harmonious and strangely beautiful aesthetic, like a mythical beast from ancient mythology, which should naturally look like this.

Just as Lin Yu was admiring the two golden lion heads on his shoulders, a thought quietly entered his consciousness.

"My lord," came the voice of the three-headed fire lion that had just become his spirit, its tone filled with eager excitement.

"I think I can get out! I feel like I can leave the spirit ring, materialize, and leave your body!"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, and with a thought, said, "Then let's go out and give it a try."

Deep within his heart, a second yellow spirit ring silently condensed and took shape. The ring slowly rotated in the very center of his heart, emitting a soft yellow light.

The consciousness of the Three-Headed Flame Lion first poked its head out from the spirit ring, looked around, and then the entire beast leaped out of the spirit ring.

The moment it left the spirit ring, Lin Yu clearly felt that the vertical pupils of the two lion heads on his shoulders suddenly gained a lively light.

It was a feeling of transforming inanimate objects into living things; a second ago they were just a pair of exquisite armor decorations, and a second later they were imbued with the lively vitality of living beings.

The eyes of the two golden-scaled lion heads moved simultaneously, their pupils contracting and then expanding, as if adapting to a new visual environment.

To Lin Yu's surprise, the two lion heads on the shoulders opened their mouths simultaneously. As the lions opened their mouths, several sticky golden threads stretched out between the upper and lower jaws, which were made of golden scales.

Lin Yu frowned slightly, and was about to ask what was going on when he sensed an even more drastic change happening to him.

His lion helmet, along with every single golden scale on his body, began to writhe at the same time.

The scales no longer clung tightly to his body, but instead surged across his skin like living things. Each scale lifted and curled up on its own, with countless fine golden threads stretching between its edges and adjacent scales.

The rustling sound of scales rubbing against scales echoed in the training room, so dense it sounded like countless insects flapping their wings all at once on his body.

Then, under Lin Yu's astonished gaze, large pieces of golden scales peeled off his body.

The moment the scales detached from the skin, a slight tingling sensation was felt, as if countless tiny suction cups were simultaneously releasing them.

The detached scales did not fall to the ground, but instead automatically gathered, combined, and reshaped in mid-air.

Together with the three lion heads, they were drawn together by the consciousness of the three-headed Fiery Lion, as if by an invisible hand, and condensed into a completely new body.

The entire process took only a few seconds. The clicking sounds as the scales assembled were continuous, each scale finding its place on the new body and fitting together perfectly.

Finally, what stood before Lin Yu was a three-headed golden lion whose entire body was made of golden scales.

It is one meter tall and nearly two meters long, with a tail made of several extra-long golden scales that is constantly swishing around, making a soft metallic scraping sound as it swishes.

The three-headed Flame Lion looked down at its body made of golden scales, tilted its three heads at the same time, and then a very thin wisp of black smoke spewed out of the nostrils of one of its heads.

Perhaps it wasn't satisfied with its new look. A layer of fur formed from flames quickly appeared on its body.

The fiery hairs are not real flames, but a layer of translucent orange-red energy that grows out from the gaps in the golden scales, forming fluffy mane, belly hair, and tail hair on the body surface. Each strand of fiery hair moves automatically and sways gently without wind.
