Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 340 Dark Gold Dragon Claw and Piercing Light (4K)

Chen Ping wasn't worried that Wu Feng wouldn't be able to absorb the soul bone.

Wu Feng's physical abilities are now stronger than many Soul Masters; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to defeat several Soul Masters assigned to her in the competition.

Now, if we raise Wu Feng's soul power level to level 40, he might not be able to absorb a ten-thousand-year-level soul ring due to his own spiritual power limitations, but he can still try to absorb a seven- or eight-thousand-year-level soul ring.

Wu Feng held the dark gold hand bone, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Sigh, these young people nowadays."

Old Xuan sat on the corpse of the dark gold dinosaur and muttered a complaint.

"Alright, alright, stop dawdling and hurry up. Chen is doing this for your own good."

Wu Feng hesitated for a while before coming down from a short distance away and mobilizing his soul power to merge his soul bone with himself.

It was clear that the right palm bone, under the influence of her soul power, liquefied as if it were a pool of golden liquid that seeped into her right hand.

"Absorbing a soul bone of this quality should be a bit painful. Activating your dragon form should help you absorb this soul bone to some extent."

Chen Ping's voice wasn't loud, but Wu Feng did hear it, though he couldn't answer Chen Ping for the time being.

The liquid formed from the right metacarpal bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw was injected into her palm. At first, she felt very comfortable, as if a warm liquid was enveloping her right hand.

However, this warmth soon turned into scorching heat.

Although her soul power was circulating at high speed, it was unable to intervene in the fusion of the soul bone in her right hand.

And that scorching heat gradually turned into intense heat.

As you can see, Wu Feng's entire right hand is covered in dark gold, like a sculpture cast in gold.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the burning pain from the inside out caused her body to tremble slightly.

A frenzied thought suddenly emerged from that golden right hand, as if the unwilling soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was making its final struggle.

It could be seen that Wu Feng's entire right hand had turned dark gold, and vaguely, it seemed that something was about to emerge from her palm.

The intense burning sensation caused sweat to bead on her forehead; the feeling of having her palms roasted over a fire was excruciating.

Wu Feng felt as if his right hand was charred, and this sensation gradually spread throughout his entire right arm.

Soon, Wu Feng remembered Chen Ping's earlier reminder. While continuing to try to absorb the soul bone, he activated the dragon transformation effect on his right arm.

Fine red scales sprouted from Wu Feng's shoulder blades the next moment, and streaks of orange-red fire clouds burst forth like small snakes, swirling around her body.

In just a few breaths, Wu Feng's arms, which were originally as white and tender as lotus roots and tempting to look at, were transformed into dragons.

After Wu Feng's transformation into a dragon, his entire right arm had extremely clear lines, giving it an indescribable air of heroism and magnificence, and it was covered with crimson scales.

At the same time, his right hand also transformed into a dragon claw, covered with the same scales. On the crimson dragon claw, waves of fire and dark golden light intertwined, slowly turning Wu Feng's originally crimson dragon claw into a crimson gold.

As soon as he activated his dragon form, Wu Feng felt a sudden drop in the pressure of absorbing the dark gold dinosaur claw bear's right palm bone.

It felt as if Chen Ping's stick had instantly cleared the dark gold dinosaur's eyes after striking it on the head.

After transforming into a dragon, the aura emanating from Wu Feng even seemed to suppress the aura of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The arrogance of the Dark Gold Devil Claw Bear is always based on its own victory.

When Wu Feng was hunting this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, he used Crimson Dragon Blaze to almost burn the bear into a whole roasted bear. This actually helped Wu Feng absorb the soul bone to some extent.

The dark golden light began to extend from Wu Feng's right hand to his right arm, but soon, Wu Feng's dragon-transformed right claw clenched slightly, and the intense heat distorted the surrounding air. Crimson soul power emanated from his arm and quickly suppressed the dark golden light again.

Backlash from the soul bone?

Wasn't the one who got slapped across the face just now?
Backlash from a soul bone is the most serious consequence of absorbing a soul bone; if not handled properly, it can take the life of a soul master.

This usually happens because the Soul Master cannot withstand the power of the Soul Bone, and the enormous energy contained within the Soul Bone launches a counterattack on its own.

Given Wu Feng's physical attributes, especially considering that he can further enhance the strength of his right arm through dragon transformation, he is not so easily susceptible to backlash.

Moreover, Wu Feng's determination to keep up with Chen Ping's pace of progress and not fall behind was unparalleled, even obsessive.

Sufficiently strong physical attributes, coupled with unwavering willpower, are the fundamental reasons why Wu Feng has been able to steadily suppress this ferocious soul bone even after absorbing it for so long.

Hang in there, hold on!

Time passed by, minute by minute, and several hours went by in the blink of an eye.

Ning Tian had already absorbed his own soul ring, but seeing the unbearable pain on Wu Feng's pretty face, he could only sit beside Chen Ping with a worried expression, observing Wu Feng's condition at any time.

Chen Ping had time to process and cut up the at least half-ton Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, separating out the most valuable parts such as the tenderloin and bear claws.

But shortly after the treatment was completed, Wu Feng's condition deteriorated rapidly, so much so that Chen Ping could only keep a close eye on Wu Feng's condition.

Wu Feng was drenched in sweat, with large amounts of sweat dripping from his forehead.

In just a short while, her clothes were soaked through, outlining her graceful curves, and a faint mist emanated from her body.

Surprisingly, her consciousness remained clear and unwavering.

Until a certain moment, the nails on Wu Fenglong's right claw, which were originally as red as gemstones, turned completely dark gold without anyone knowing when. They even dyed Wu Fenglong's entire right arm from red to dark gold.

"Drink!"

Wu Feng shouted and suddenly raised her right arm.

With a soft "poof," five dark golden rays of light shot out from the tip of her right finger, each one foot and two inches long.

It is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, resembling five sharp blades.

The dark golden light rippled like water.

The moment they appeared, the air involuntarily emitted a slight whistling sound.

At this moment, the dragon claws and the sharp blade that Wu Feng had transformed into were completely integrated, inseparable, and looked as if they were made by nature.

Immediately afterwards, a dark golden light surged from her right claw, ascending her right arm and spreading throughout her entire body in an instant. It looked as if she had been bathed in this dark golden light.

Wu Feng let out a long breath, her body swaying slightly. Fortunately, Chen Ping immediately put his arm around her shoulder, preventing her from falling backward.

Wu Feng seemed to sense something, and with a slight thought, he stopped outputting his soul power.

The dragon claws, now a dark gold color, and the dragon-transformed right arm, predominantly reddish-gold, finally returned to normal.

"My God, it's finally done!"

Before Wu Feng, the person involved, could say anything, Elder Xuan took out his tea gourd and gulped down a few mouthfuls, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

Elder Xuan's voice also relaxed, filled with ease.

His heart was in his throat, hanging in the air for at least a few hours. It wouldn't jump out of his chest, but he was really stuck in his throat.

If Wu Feng were to encounter any problems while fusing with the soul bone, he would have to seriously consider whether to kill himself, as he would be too ashamed to return to the academy.

Fortunately, Wu Feng's physical condition was still strong.

Furthermore, the dragon-transformed arm could, to some extent, resist or even suppress the sharpness of the Dark Gold Terror Claw's right palm bone, which allowed Wu Feng to gradually chisel through the soul bone and successfully absorb it.

"I never expected that a mere two-thousand-year-old soul bone would be so difficult to absorb."

"The soul power fluctuations within this soul bone aren't too strong; theoretically, a three-ring Soul Master could absorb it. However, the sharpness and destructive power of its soul power are so astonishing that even an ordinary six-ring Soul Emperor would struggle to absorb it."

"In other words, whether it's the Red Dragon Martial Soul or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, they both possess the special ability of dragon transformation, where part of the body transforms into the true form of the Martial Soul in advance."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid only those with a cultivation level of seven-ring Soul Saint or above, who can strengthen their bodies with their Martial Soul True Body, would have a chance of successfully withstanding the terrifying sharpness within this right palm bone."

Elder Xuan wanted to express his appreciation for Wu Feng's perseverance, but Wu Feng ignored him and fell asleep immediately.

She was so tired that she had no energy left to say anything else; a good night's sleep was the best thing for her.

Seeing this, Elder Xuan could only smile helplessly. He used his soul power to hold back Wu Feng and put him directly into the tent that had been set up beforehand.

"You two little ones should get some rest too. Now that you've accidentally solved the spirit ring problem and even managed to get a priceless top-tier spirit bone, you've basically accomplished your goals for this trip."

"By the way, Ning girl, when you were absorbing spirit rings before, you said that the spirit rings produced by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would definitely produce a special spirit skill for your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit masters?"

But as he spoke, a hint of surprise crept into Elder Xuan's tone.

Everyone laughs at the White Tiger Martial Soul's three-hit combo and six-hit combo, but in reality, everyone knows that the White Tiger lineage doesn't change its skills mainly because these six skills have both high stats and high strength, so they are unwilling to change them, not because they can't change them.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is different; it's truly irreplaceable. No matter what kind of soul beast you absorb, in the end, you'll most likely just be stuck with those six soul skills.

That's why Elder Xuan was already quite surprised when he first heard that Ning Tian's second soul skill, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, was Purification.

Not to mention that a Soul Master with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul could absorb the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear and actually produce a special Soul Skill.

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian's face revealed a hint of smugness and pride. He smiled slightly, and the four soul rings, yellow and purple, pulsed continuously on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. He pondered, "The Seven Treasures turn out to reveal glaze, the fourth being: Break."

The next moment, a dark golden light flew out from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and landed on Chen Ping, making his whole body covered with a faint dark golden light.

As if by divine intervention, Chen Ping subconsciously raised his right hand, transforming his palm into a blade, and forcefully slashed at a tree beside him that was as thick as a person's embrace.

"Oh!"

In an instant, wood chips flew everywhere. Chen Ping's hand, which he had slashed down with brute force, seemed to transform into a real giant axe, instantly piercing through the tough bark and wood, and burying his entire hand inside.

Immediately afterwards, as if realizing something, Chen Ping put both hands into a chopping motion and began to slash repeatedly at the spot on the giant tree where he had just struck it.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang!”

At this moment, Chen Ping used both arms to wield his hands like two kitchen knives on a chopping board, repeatedly slashing diagonally at the trunk of the tree.

For a moment, all Ning Tian could see were flying sawdust and Chen Ping's illusory palm shadows.

"Kara. Kara kara kara."

Finally, after being repeatedly chopped by Chen Ping's hand, seventy percent of the core wood was lost. Unable to support its massive weight, the tree burst with continuous cracking sounds from the joints where Chen Ping had cut it.

"Boom."

Following the direction of Chen Ping's chop, the big tree finally couldn't withstand Chen Ping's storm-like destruction and crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

"My God, what is this thing?"

Elder Xuan's eyes widened. Chen Ping hadn't used any blood energy or soul power; he had just chopped down a large tree with his bare hands.
Just then, Ning Tian revealed a smug smile: "How does it feel? My fourth soul skill isn't any worse than a soul skill that amplifies attack power, is it?"

At this point, Ning Tian proudly raised his head, revealing his smooth, fair chin, looking like a victorious little rooster.

Elder Xuan couldn't wait any longer. His cultivation level was too high, and Ning Tian could only amplify him for about half a second at most.

Although he had a vague guess in his mind, he was not completely sure. He could only wait for Chen Ping or Ning Tian to tell him so that he could truly understand what the effect of Ning Tian's fourth soul skill was.

"Ning girl, the effect of your fourth soul skill is that it makes all of Chen Ping's attacks more destructive?"

After struggling for a while, Elder Xuan couldn't think of a good way to describe it, so he could only describe Ning Tian's fourth soul skill based on Ning Tian's soul incantation.

“Yes,” Ning Tian nodded, but then shook his head: “No, that’s not right either.”

"The effect of my fourth soul skill is not to add extra lethality to Chen Ping, but to add an extra effect—piercing."

"This is the rare amplification that only the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Ring can provide. With my current soul power cultivation, I can add a 50% piercing buff to Chen Ping. Under this buff, any defensive effect of the enemy will only be half of its original effect when facing Chen Ping's attack."

"Moreover, this piercing buff is not only effective for defensive soul skills, but also for soul beasts with strong defenses, and soul masters."

At this point, Ning Tian turned his head and his gaze fell on a large tree that Chen Ping had brute forcefully chopped down with his bare hands.

"Adds 50% piercing attribute, reducing the enemy's defense to only half of its original value?"

Upon hearing these words, Elder Xuan was speechless, and even Chen Ping was shocked and widened his eyes in disbelief at the exaggerated amplification effect.

Such an incredible effect truly lives up to its reputation as a heaven-defying enhancement that even Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters have only a very few possessed!
