"Hmm?"
Seeing a beam of light sink into his body, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but feel extremely surprised.
Although 100,000-year spirit beasts were guaranteed to drop soul bones, and soul bones dropped during sacrifice would directly enter the body—
His six normal soul bone slots—head, torso, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg—were already completely filled. Under the condition that his six main soul bone slots were already full, he could still accept the soul bone dropped by this Light Holy Dragon. This meant it was the standard equipment of Douluo protagonists: an external soul bone?
This... the surprise came far too suddenly!
At this moment, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but feel an impulse to burst into tears and roar to the heavens. Fortunately, he was already a mature man and forcibly suppressed this impulse, not losing his composure too greatly.
Initially, Chu Chengzhou had thought he had only hunted a ninety-thousand-year Light Holy Dragon.
But unexpectedly, this ninety-thousand-year—accurately speaking, nearly one hundred thousand-year—Light Holy Dragon not only possessed the ability to sacrifice, but also broke through during the sacrifice process, advancing to become a one hundred thousand-year spirit beast that was guaranteed to drop soul bones after death.
And this wasn't even the biggest surprise. The biggest surprise was that the one hundred thousand-year soul bone he originally might not have been able to use had transformed into an external soul bone that he had previously only dreamed of but could never attain!
Where was this Goddess of Luck lifting her skirt? This was clearly a scantily clad, flirtatious Goddess of Luck sister singing and dancing to entertain him!
Chu Chengzhou: Keep playing the music, keep dancing!
Subsequently, Chu Chengzhou's mind moved slightly. Golden light blossomed around his body, faintly carrying a sacred aura. Pure white dragon scale armor covered in golden patterns suddenly materialized.
Perhaps due to the cultivation years reaching one hundred thousand, the dragon scale armor formed by the external soul bone dropped by the Light Holy Dragon was a very complete full-body armor set—helmet, chest armor, shoulder armor, arm armor, hand armor, leg armor, and battle boots were all present. From head to toe, except for his face, Chu Chengzhou's entire body was protected within the dragon scale armor.
"Let's call it... Holy Light Dragon Armor?"
Happily examining the dragon scale armor on his body, Chu Chengzhou named the external soul bone dropped by the Light Holy Dragon.
Except for extremely rare exceptions, generally speaking, 100,000-year soul bones could carry two 100,000-year soul bone skills. The Holy Light Dragon Armor external soul bone was no exception.
"Soul bone skill: Holy Dragon Protection!"
Without hesitation, Chu Chengzhou activated one of the two 100,000-year soul bone skills carried by the Holy Light Dragon Armor external soul bone.
Instantly, it seemed as if dragon roars sounded. A golden light dragon phantom rose from behind Chu Chengzhou, then the light dragon phantom transformed into a golden beam that enveloped Chu Chengzhou's entire body.
Under the golden light's reflection, Chu Chengzhou wearing the Holy Light Dragon Armor at this moment appeared like a sacred war god descended to the mortal world.
Soul bone skill: Holy Dragon Protection—grants 50% immunity to physical, energy, and mental damage below god-level. Apart from requiring continuous soul power consumption, there were no usage restrictions whatsoever.
"Holy... amazing! As expected of me!"
He originally wanted to directly exclaim "Holy crap," but considering this would make him appear uneducated, Chu Chengzhou timely changed his words.
It must be said, 50% damage reduction across all types was truly incredible. Moreover, one must understand that the current cultivation years of the Holy Light Dragon Armor external soul bone were only one hundred thousand. If its cultivation years increased to one million in the future, 100% immunity to all damage was definitely not to be expected, but this damage reduction percentage would certainly be even higher.
Of course, the cultivation years of external soul bones could increase along with the soul master's soul power level. When a soul master achieved Level 99 Limit Douluo, the cultivation years of external soul bones could increase to over nine hundred thousand years. If a soul master reached Level 100 and became a god, then external soul bones would be at least one million-year soul bones. There was no need for Chu Chengzhou to "AFK" to level it up.
It was just unknown whether this soul bone skill could be applied to summoned spirits or others. And if it could, could it be applied to multiple targets?
After a long time and numerous experiments, a trace of regret flashed in Chu Chengzhou's eyes.
The facts proved that he hadn't thought wrong, but he had thought too much.
Perhaps due to the Absolute Control supreme art, the soul bone skill Holy Dragon Protection could not only affect himself, but also work on summoned spirits and other targets. However, at the same time, the Holy Dragon Protection soul bone skill could only protect one target.
For example, if he applied the Holy Dragon Protection soul bone skill to his Space Holy Dragon summoned spirit Xiao Yin, he himself couldn't use it, and he couldn't apply it to other summoned spirits either.
Additionally, after this series of experiments, Chu Chengzhou discovered another important point that he had previously overlooked.
That was, apart from strong assault-type soul bone skills, defensive, auxiliary, and healing-type soul bone skills could similarly be applied to summoned spirits and other targets.
Other soul masters couldn't do this? That was definitely due to insufficient control ability.
After all, soul bone skills existed attached to soul bones. After soul bones were refined into the body by soul masters, they became part of the soul master's own power. Since it was their own power, theoretically, as long as control ability was sufficient, it could be freely controlled and used.
As for the other 100,000-year soul bone skill of the Holy Light Dragon Armor external soul bone, it also didn't disappoint Chu Chengzhou.
Soul bone skill: Holy Dragon's Power—grants 150% all-attribute enhancement. The effect was simple and crude, but extremely practical.
Moreover, the all-attribute enhancement effect of the Holy Dragon's Power soul bone skill was similar to many self-enhancement type soul skills of beast martial soul soul masters. The enhancement effect wouldn't conflict with attribute enhancement soul skills applied by auxiliary-type soul masters.
'It's just unknown, when I ascend to godhood in the future, what tier would the divine armor formed by seven million-year soul bones reach?'
Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but secretly daydream.
After this daydreaming session, Chu Chengzhou regained his focus and opened his attribute panel.
Instantly, Chu Chengzhou was first shocked, then his face filled with joy, and finally he fell into deep thought.
After much contemplation, Chu Chengzhou made some adjustments to his AFKing settings.
