Chapter 334 Special Amplification Soul Skill
At this moment, the enormous bear seemed not to have seen Chen Ping and the others. It was simply rubbing its nose against the ground, as if searching for something.

The giant bear would sometimes rub its enormous head against the tree, and sometimes sway and wander towards Chen Ping and his companions, raising Chen Ping's vigilance to the highest level.

From its surging blood and soul power fluctuations, Chen Ping immediately judged that no matter what kind of bear-like soul beast it was, it was already a thousand-year-old soul beast, and not just any ordinary thousand-year-old one, but probably with a cultivation of about two or three thousand years.

This giant bear was over three meters long and as tall as a small building. It was extremely majestic, and its black fur had a faint metallic sheen, making it difficult for Chen Ping to figure out which bear-type soul beast it was.

He considered his theoretical knowledge to be quite solid, but looking at the burly black bear in front of him, its fur covered in pine wax and mud, he couldn't match any of the black bears in his mind at all.

After all, the black bear in front of them was too robust, more like a brown bear spirit beast than a smaller black bear.

It wasn't until the giant bear emerged from the forest and slowly stood upright that Chen Ping realized what kind of creature it was, seeing its pair of incredibly long and thick arms, with muscles bulging like small hills and fingertips that even reached past its knees.

This isn't a Black Bear-type Soul Beast at all; it's a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear from the Brown Bear family!

However, unlike the clean and tidy Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with dark gold fur in the textbook, this one was covered in sticky rosin, which then naturally attracted various dead leaves and dirt, thus disguising it as a black bear.

At this moment, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear gave Chen Ping and the others no time to react. After standing upright, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, with its lungs fully open, took a deep breath, drawing in a massive amount of air.

"Roar------!!!"

A mournful roar followed, and Chen Ping, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng, though clearly a hundred meters away, still felt a terrifying shockwave, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down on them from the front.

All the vegetation in front, including large trees that required several people to hug, collapsed instantly under the impact of this shockwave.

If Chen Ping hadn't unhesitatingly deployed a defensive soul tool in front of the three of them, they would probably have been blown away in an instant!

A series of crackling sounds rang out, and with a bear's roar, countless stones and branches were blown into the air, smashing into the protective shield in front of Chen Ping, causing the luster of the level-three protective shield in front of Chen Ping to dim rapidly.

Depend on!
Chen Ping cursed inwardly. He should have shown a weakness during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament and let Ma Rulong strike him with the Sword of Judgment.

This way, he would have a reason to extort the Sword of Judgment back to the academy, and then, after that old scoundrel Jing Hongchen secretly sneaks into the Sea God Pavilion, he can extort the other party's level nine defensive soul tool, Hongchen Blessing.

Compared to Jing Hongchen's level nine defensive soul tool, Hongchen Blessing, which can be used by any soul master of any soul power level, the trash level three defensive soul tool he is currently using is really inadequate, and the difference between it and a real treasure is like heaven and earth.

"How come it's this 2,000-year-old dark gold dinosaur? It's too young, and the type isn't right either. What bad luck!"

Chen Ping's curse was heard by Ning Tian, ​​who was also hiding behind a defensive soul tool, and he was immediately stunned. "Chen Ping, what did you just say? That black bear in front, is it a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?"

Ning Tian's tone revealed a strong sense of joy, which puzzled Chen Ping.

He didn't know much about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit, but he did know that when a spirit ring produced by a bear-type spirit was absorbed by a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit master, the ratio of defensive amplification spirit skills to offensive amplification spirit skills was basically 50/50.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda does not have high requirements for the age of the soul rings it absorbs, and the amplification rate is the same regardless of the age of the soul ring, there are still slight differences in the soul power consumed depending on the age of the soul ring.

Given Ning Tian's current physical condition, even though he is only a support-type Soul Master, after eating so many high-age Soul Beast feasts, absorbing a fully equipped 5,000-year Soul Ring shouldn't be a problem.

In addition, they had agreed from the beginning to prioritize hunting for soul power amplification soul skills or attack amplification soul skills. Considering that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in front of them is only about two or three thousand years old, it is not the best choice, is it?
But soon, Ning Tian also released a defensive soul tool, and a tough light screen blocked Chen Ping's already shaky defensive shield before he spoke.

"For us Soul Masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, the probability of bear-type Soul Beasts producing amplifying Soul Skills that are either offensive or defensive is indeed 50/50."

"Unless you haven't decided what type of amplification you want to choose from the beginning, and you plan to use whatever amplification you get, it's more stable to directly choose to hunt spirit rings from tiger-type spirit beasts and turtle-type spirit beasts."

"However, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is an exception. Just like my second soul skill is 'Second Release,' when the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring is absorbed by a soul master with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, it will also produce a special amplification soul skill with 100% certainty!"

Now Chen Ping understood why Ning Tian sounded so delighted.

Although the three-second roar of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had ended, Ning Tian didn't have time to tell Chen Ping what the special soul skill that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring could produce for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was.

However, Chen Ping guessed that this thing was probably no less precious than Ning Tian's second soul skill, Purification, and might even be more so.

At this moment, the dark gold dinosaur claw bear in front of us charged forward, its four thick legs stomping heavily on the soft muddy ground, causing the ground to shake slightly.

Chen Ping and Wu Feng felt a slight warmth on their bodies as Ning Tian's increased strength and speed were now in place.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Feng's second spirit ring lit up, his dragon claws became sharper, and the scales on his body became thicker. This was the effect of Dragon's Fury—greatly increasing Wu Feng's attack and defense attributes.

Chen Ping, however, didn't have as many instantaneous boosts to his attack power. He activated his first soul skill, Staff Stance, and simultaneously performed a pole vault, flipping over the tough light barrier released by Ning Tian, ​​and delivered a solid staff strike towards the dark gold dinosaur bear charging towards him.

To Chen Ping's surprise, the dark gold dinosaur bear did not dodge or evade when he swung his Elephant Claw with great force. Instead, it took the blow head-on, which was enough to send an ordinary Soul Venerable flying!
