Douluo Continent: Martial Soul is the Star Forging Dragon King

Luo Chen gave an awkward smile, thinking that Tianmeng's future days would probably be very difficult: "Ahem, well, this is the limit of the power I can give you right now."

If it were before Luo Chen received additional soul rings, that is, before reaching the peak of Soul Emperor, the total enhancement he received would at most raise the two women to the level of Tianmeng.

This isn't potential; it's simply that the current cracks in the overflowing power of the celestial realm are only so big, and there's no room for more.

There's no way around it; the boost from the soul rings of two ferocious beasts can't possibly compare to that from two divine-level external soul bones.

"Now then"

"Now, I need your help to decide which external soul bone to choose."

Next, Luo Chen told the two women about his concept of artificial external soul bones, and then, amidst their exclamations of amazement, he summoned the soul core essences of the two women.

"An external soul bone?"

Xue Di looked very serious, while Bing Di was also thinking, trying to come up with a template that suited Luo Chen.

"I think the most important thing is not the effect of external soul bones, but to leave enough room to prepare for external soul bones that may be obtained in the future."

As expected of the experienced ruler of the far north, the Snow Empress considered the possibility that Luo Chen might obtain more external soul bones in the future: "Now, Xiao Chen, you already have two external soul bones as weapons."

"If we acquire another external soul bone in the future, we should avoid having duplicate functions."

In other words, if all of Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor's external soul bones were chosen as weapons, that would be four weapons, which Luo Chen simply couldn't use.

You can only take out two at a time, and the other two will become decorations, wasting two external soul bones.

"Does Xue Di mean to make it into a form like armor?"

"Armor won't do."

Xue Di shook her head and said, "According to what you said, Xiao Chen, the Dragon God shouldn't have given you her soul bone yet, right?"

"Ah."

Theoretically speaking, a soul beast that is over 100,000 years old will inevitably produce a soul bone.

As the strongest soul beast, Gu Yuena is no exception in this regard.

However, when Luo Chen met Gu Yuena, his body was still relatively weak and he could not withstand the enhancement from the soul bone of a God-King level expert.

This has caused Gu Yuena's portion of solidified soul power to now reach the level of solidified divine power.

What comes from solidified divine power is bound to be a divine artifact, or even a super divine artifact.

A super artifact-level external soul bone—let alone back then, even now, Luo Chen would find it difficult to control.

It's important to understand that this isn't a super artifact enhanced in Giant God Mode, but rather an external soul bone that has already reached the level of a super artifact even before receiving the power of the Celestial Realm.

According to Luo Chen's estimation, he would have to wait until he broke through the title before he could attempt to fuse with the super-god-level external soul bone left to him by Gu Yuena.

"The external soul bone of the Dragon God is the best choice for armor."

In Xue Di's view, she hoped that Luo Chen could protect himself more than his powerful attack.

Therefore, nothing can better guarantee Luo Chen's safety than the armor forged from Gu Yuena's soul bone.

"Then how should we choose?"

Hyotei asked, "We can't choose armor, and we already have weapons. Are we going to leave Tatsumi with a tail?"

If it's a tail, then Hyotei is fine with it, as her external spirit bone is well-suited to be an extension of the spine.

As for the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, they couldn't even imagine what kind of external soul bone she could create.

"Tail?"

Luo Chen thought of Hyotei's scorpion tail, and to be honest, he felt a bit disgusted by it.

To be honest, he doesn't really like insect tails.

"Hey, isn't that a bit much?"

Despite having just arrived, Hyotei, known for her fiery temper and outspokenness, immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with Luo Chen's disdain.

"Forehead"

Luo Chen scratched his head and said, "There's nothing I can do about it, I really don't like scorpion tails."

To paraphrase Luo Chen's words from his previous life, being strong is only temporary, but being handsome is for a lifetime.

so.

Luo Chen: Ugly rejection!

"You bastard!!"

Hyotei was furious with Luo Chen. If this guy hadn't become her master, she would have given him a good lesson.

"Okay, Bing'er."

Snow Empress gave a helpless, wry smile. She comforted Ice Empress before continuing their previous conversation.

"Humph."

Hyotei snorted coldly, while Luo Chen scratched his head awkwardly.

To be honest, there's no need to hold back; this is how close relationships should be.

It may cause a lot of unpleasantness, or even arguments, but the more this happens, the more it shows how familiar you are with each other.

Of course, Luo Chen wouldn't actually hurt Hyotei and the others.

A joke is fine, but too much of a good thing can be bad.

Luo Chen knew that Hyotei didn't care about Sasori's tail, which is why he spoke up.

"Xue Di, what are your thoughts?"

"me."

The Snow Emperor smiled slightly and said, "Armor is not limited to just helmets."

At this moment, both Luo Chen and Bing Di were captivated by that smile, as beautiful as the first clear day after snow, and remained mesmerized for a long time.

'Truly worthy of being called the number one beauty in Dou Er.'

Luo Chen marveled at Xue Di's beauty and demeanor, then shook his head and asked, "Xue Di, are you referring to the inner armor?"

"Ah."

Snow Empress looked at Ice Empress and said, "Bing'er, your true form is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. I believe you should be very clear about the defensive power of your carapace."

"Of course!"

Hyotei proudly declared, "Even diamonds, I can crush them!"

"Bing'er's external soul bone can be molded into a protective inner armor or a heart-protecting mirror."

Snow Empress: "I think the inner armor might be better."

In Xue Di's opinion, apart from divine beasts like Gu Yue Na, there should be no soul beast on the Douluo Continent that is tougher than Bing Di.

"As for me"

Xue Di thought for a moment and said, "My power is more agile and not suitable for defense, but it can be molded into an outer garment."

"coat?"

Snow Empress's words left not only Ice Empress but even Luo Chen somewhat confused.

Although external soul bones can take many forms, they are essentially still human bones or human body parts, and cannot be created out of thin air.

Just like the Ice and Fire Dragon King's twin blades, they were attached to the forearm bones of Luo Chen's hands.

Hyotei's inner armor is designed to fit along the ribs, a variation of the sternum.

What is the Snow Emperor's outer garment?

"It can be attached here."

Xue Di stretched out her fair and delicate hand and gently stroked Luo Chen's shoulder.

"shoulder blade?"

Luo Chen understood Xue Di's meaning. She wanted his external soul bone to fuse with his two shoulder blades, and then extend outward from there to form a robe that covered his entire body.

"So that's how it works."

Luo Chen thought the Snow Empress's idea was good, but the Ice Empress pouted and muttered softly, "Robe, doesn't this have no defensive effect at all?"

"What does Xiao Chen think?"

"Very handsome!"

"Pfft."

Upon hearing Luo Chen's reply, Xue Di couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Perhaps because she was transformed into a Star Spirit, Xue Di's emotions became much more delicate.

Star Spirits and Transformed Soul Beasts are very similar in their emotions, both leaning towards humans, which caused Ice Emperor to show a shocked look.

In her memory, she had never seen Xue Di smile like that before.

'The Snow Empress's smile is so cute!'

Hyotei's cheeks flushed slightly: 'I like it.'

"Then let's do it."

Luo Chen began to mobilize his soul power and had the two women cooperate with him to shape the new external soul bone.

The first to be affected was Hyotei's inner protective armor.

Luo Chen's ribs became crystal clear, as if they were carved from ice crystals and diamonds. They extended outwards and eventually transformed into a piece of azure inner armor that covered Luo Chen's upper body.

This inner armor is not thick; on the contrary, it is much thinner. It covers Luo Chen's upper body and extends all the way to his knees, just like chainmail. This inner armor, formed from the condensed external soul bone, is not only lightweight but also possesses a remarkable defensive capability.

"Hu~~"

On the other side, Luo Chen endured the intense pain brought about by the birth of his external soul bone.

Fortunately, he had a high tolerance for pain; otherwise, each and every instance would have been a torture.

Yes, it's actually no different from torture.

External soul bones, simply put, are the use of soul power to cause changes in one's own bones.
