Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 39 Jing Hongchen's Strength, The Golden Fortress (Please continue reading!!! Please recommend!!!)

With the Purple-Gold Dragon Beast in front, Xiao Hongchen still gave up on the Silver Moon Tiger.

He was tempted by the metallic soul skill that the Silver Moon Tiger could provide, but the Purple Gold Dragon Beast was more important to him.

For a Soul Master, the Purple Gold Dragon Beast is the best Soul Ring.

Because the Purple Gold Dragon Beast is made entirely of metal, once it can be absorbed, the passive effect alone will at least double its affinity for metal.

The increase is comparable to that of a ten-thousand-year soul skill, but this only applies to the improvement in affinity with metal.

Besides passively increasing affinity for metals, the Purple Gold Dragon Beast will most likely provide a defensive soul skill.

A metal shield that provides all-around protection, similar to the shell of the Purple Gold Dragon Beast!

It can not only greatly enhance Xiao Hongchen's defensive and self-protection capabilities, but also work in conjunction with his previous soul skills to create a war fortress.

Furthermore, during the casting of this soul skill, the user is also semi-metallic. Although the physical attack immunity is not as high as that of metallization, it still has half the effect.

The battle between the two ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts caused quite a stir. The imposing aura of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts also made other soul beasts in the vicinity wary and dare not approach.

As the battle progressed, the injuries on the Purple-Gold Dragon Beast and the Silver Moon Tiger gradually accumulated.

As expected of the sixth brother, Jing Hongchen, a titled Douluo, did not forcibly suppress them, but instead waited for them to exhaust each other in the battle.

Jing Hongchen only erupted when the time was right.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

He released his martial spirit, and a giant toad attached itself to his body.

"First Soul Skill: Control of Metal!"

"Second Soul Skill, Boiling Metal!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Metal Formation!"

Jing Hongchen's soul skill combination is similar to Xiao Hongchen's, but his Golden Condensation is a ten-thousand-year soul skill.

In the blink of an eye, just as the two ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts stopped fighting and became wary, Jing Hongchen was already fully armed.

Sixteen soul-guided cannons have been set up in various locations around the giant toad that Jing Hongchen has transformed into.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Su Yu felt the entire valley tremble; the terrifying energy fluctuations shook his mind.

"At least a level six fixed-mount soul-guided cannon!"

Relying solely on his soul skills, Jing Hongchen could instantly arm sixteen level-six fixed-position soul-guided cannons. Moreover, this wasn't even his limit, since Jing Hongchen couldn't directly kill two ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Most importantly, Jing Hongchen hasn't yet unleashed his Martial Soul True Body, nor has he activated his eighth or ninth Soul Skill. Of his five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, he's only used the very first one.

While Jing Hongchen may not be strong in individual combat, his role in group battles is absolutely unparalleled.

Su Yu's judgment was somewhat flawed.

Jing Hongchen only condensed four fixed-position soul-guided cannons, at level six.

The four level-six soul-guided cannon shells did not completely hit the Purple-Gold Dragon Beast; they merely blocked the Purple-Gold Dragon Beast's hiding spots.

Even so, the damage from the blast wave severely injured the Purple Gold Dragon Beast.

Aside from four that were equipped with fixed soul-guided cannons, the remaining twelve were modified soul-guided launch rails.

What it fired was not a cannonball, but a level-six soul-guided heavy armor lock used to control the soul beast.

Four of the twelve Soul-Guided Heavy Armor Locks landed on the Purple-Gold Dragon Beast, locking its neck, tail, waist, and legs respectively.

The other eight landed on Silver Moon Tiger. Silver Moon Tiger managed to dodge three of them, but was still firmly bound by the remaining five Soul Guidance Heavy Armor Locks.

"alright."

Jing Hongchen released his martial soul possession state, appearing completely calm and collected.

Seeing Su Yu's shocked expression, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Laugh, let's fire another soul-guided cannon shot."

"good!"

Xiao Hongchen summons a martial spirit to possess him.

Behind the three-legged golden toad, a giant soul-guided cannon was completed.

Around the soul-guided cannon are various auxiliary devices that enhance its power.

boom!

The cannon shot struck the head of the Purple-Gold Dragon Beast.

The angry roar of resentment ended with the roar of artillery shells.

The jet-black spirit ring rose from the smoke.

The mirror of the mortal world still locks the Silver Moon Tiger.

"Under the oppressive aura of the Silver Moon Tiger, even weaker soul beasts dare not approach, saving a lot of trouble."

"First Soul Skill, Celestial Spirit Power!"

Su Yu used his soul skill to restore Xiao Hongchen's soul power and physical strength.

Reaching his peak condition, Xiao Hongchen sat cross-legged, holding the spherical soul tool that Jing Hongchen had given him earlier, and absorbed the soul ring left behind by the Purple Gold Dragon Beast.

Jing Hongchen was in charge of keeping watch, while Su Yu carefully observed Xiao Hongchen's process of absorbing the soul ring.

After about ten minutes, his face began to twitch, as if he was enduring immense pain.

However, Xiao Hongchen persevered.

An hour later.

The spherical soul tool in Xiao Hongchen's hand suddenly released a surge of energy, which flowed into Xiao Hongchen's body.

"This must have been triggered intentionally."

Jing Hongchen said from the side.

It took so long to trigger, so it must have encountered a fatal crisis.

While absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, one must face the crisis of soul tremor, as the remnant soul of the soul beast within the soul ring will attack the soul beast's spirit.

Having seemingly weathered the crisis and confirmed that there would be no further unforeseen circumstances, Xiao Hongchen proactively activated the soul tool to test its effects.

Next is waiting.

Three hours later, the black soul ring around Xiao Hongchen's body had shrunk to be close to his body, then flickered and merged directly into Xiao Hongchen's body.

The three-legged golden toad phantom above Xiao Hongchen's head has also undergone a major change.

Its golden body was tinged with a purple halo, and it was larger and had a stronger metallic luster.

Xiao Hongchen opened his eyes and put away his martial spirit.

"How's the soul skill?" Jing Hongchen asked.

Xiao Hongchen smiled confidently and revealed his fifth soul skill.

"My fifth soul skill is the Golden Fortress, which can condense metal to form a powerful metal shell, and at the same time greatly increase the speed at which I gather metal elements."

Jing Hongchen nodded affirmatively; the effect was as expected.

"What about the strength of the outer shell? Are there any other improvements?"

"My affinity for the metal element has at least doubled! And I can enhance it further when I actively use soul skills!" Xiao Hongchen exclaimed excitedly. "Also, my martial soul should be stronger now."

"It seems this purple-gold dragon beast is a good match for you." Jing Hongchen smiled, quite satisfied with Xiao Hongchen's gains.

"We'll need to test the defensive capabilities of the metal shell when we get back." Xiao Hongchen wasn't sure how effective the metal shell would be when he actively used it.

"That's enough." Based on these effects alone, it's safe to say that the defense is quite strong.

"It would be a waste to let this Silver Moon Tiger, with its ten thousand years of cultivation, go to waste. Let's release it."

Jing Hongchen told Su Yu and the other person to stay away and then released the Soul Guiding Armor.

The Silver Moon Tiger growled twice and ran out of the valley.

"Xiaoyu, next we need to find your spirit ring."

Xiao Hongchen obtained an excellent soul ring, and Jing Hongchen was in a good mood. The three of them did not delay and continued to go deeper to find the ten-thousand-year sword grass that Su Yu needed.
