Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 90 External Soul Bone: Crystal Scale Armor (Part 2)

With its super strong defense and damage reduction buff, this opponent is a headache for all Soul Masters unless they have an absolute level advantage or effective mental techniques.

But if it were me, the feeling would be incredibly satisfying.

With the powerful defense inherent in the external soul bone armor, plus 30% damage reduction, and combined with defensive secret techniques, Mu Yang is now practically a humanoid mutated scaled beast!

It is also worth mentioning that the damage reduction ratio of the Soul Bone Skill: Crystal Body is fixed. Even if a Title Douluo's ninth powerful attack Soul Skill hits him, the attack will be reduced by 30%.

Of course, if Mu Yang were to use his current strength to withstand the ninth powerful attack soul skill of a Title Douluo, even with a 30% damage reduction effect, he would definitely die.

"How about we call it Crystal Scale Armor?"

After some thought, Mu Yang gave his external soul bone armor a name.

"And what about your fourth soul skill?"

Shui Bing'er glanced at the four soul rings—yellow, purple, black, and black—that were radiating from Mu Yang's body and asked.

"The essence of all things in heaven and earth, jade!"

As Mu Yang softly chanted the soul incantation, his fourth soul ring shone brightly. Accompanied by the surge of soul power, a three-inch-long soul power ginseng, seemingly carved from the finest green jade, materialized.

As expected, following the red, orange, and yellow colors, the ginseng created by the fourth soul skill turned out to be turquoise (green) from the seven colors of the rainbow.

Similarly, after the fourth soul ring was added and advanced, a ring of turquoise patterns appeared again on the body of the Ice and Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul, below the red, orange, and yellow patterns.

"What exactly is the effect? ​​A shield of condensed soul power?"

After taking the emerald-green ginseng with its spiritual power and examining it closely, Shui Bing'er pressed for an answer.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Jade Guardian Ginseng, after consumption, gathers protective light, which can immunize against 30% of physical and energy attacks. The effect lasts for three minutes and is effective within ten days after production."

However, the maximum effect is 30% damage reduction; the specific immunity percentage depends on the attacker's strength.

Based on my own soul power level, if the attacker's level is five rings or above, the damage reduction ratio of the protective light condensed by the Jade Guardian Ginseng will be less than 30%, or even completely ineffective if the difference is too large.

If the attacker's level is fourth ring or below, then they are immune to 30% of physical and energy attacks.

The effect of the Jade Guardian Ginseng is not bad, and can even be said to be quite good. However, for Mu Yang himself, it is somewhat useless. It conflicts with the effect of the Crystal Body skill of the Crystal Scale Armor's external soul bone, and the damage reduction ratios of the two cannot be stacked.

Moreover, the Crystal Scale Armor is an external soul bone, and its age will increase as Mu Yang's soul power level increases. The soul bone skill, Crystal Body, will definitely not be limited to 30% damage reduction in the future.

There is a 30% damage reduction rate in years less than 30,000 years. After the years reach 100,000 years, the damage reduction rate may not reach 100%, but it should be at least 50%.

Of course, under normal circumstances, a food-type Soul Master's Martial Soul True Body can enhance the specific effects of food-related Soul Skills.

If he has a way to increase the age of his soul rings in the future, then the Jade Guardian, as a soul ring skill, is not necessarily inferior to the Crystal Body.

Twenty days later, in the far north, a land perpetually covered in ice and snow.

In mid-air, two ice-blue birds were engaged in fierce combat.

On one side was an ice-blue phoenix, over seven meters long, exuding an aura of nobility and burning with raging icy flames.

It was none other than the Martial Soul Fusion Skill launched by Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er together: Ice Flame Phoenix.

On the other side was an ice-attribute flying bird soul beast with a wingspan of about six meters, covered in ice-blue feathers, exuding a chilling aura, and around 30,000 years old: the Frozen Bird.

Of course, although Arctic Bird is named "Extreme", this does not mean that Arctic Bird has the ultimate ice attribute.

Among the known soul beasts in the continental soul beast world, only one of the kings of the far north, the ferocious beast-level Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Ice Emperor, possesses the ultimate ice attribute.

As for the Snow Empress, a ferocious beast-level ice and snow goddess who is also a king of the far north, she is not simply of the ultimate ice attribute, but a variant of ultimate ice, the ultimate ice and snow. The two are similar, but not exactly the same.

Faced with the Ice Flame Phoenix's fierce offensive, the Frozen Bird was mostly on the defensive and rarely on the offensive, putting it at a disadvantage in every aspect. Its strength was far from befitting its age of about 30,000 years.

However, this was not because the Frozen Bird was playing with its life, nor was it because an eight-ring Soul Douluo was flying in the air not far away, but because it was being suppressed by its bloodline.

Although the Frozen Bird is also a top-tier ice-type flying bird soul beast, its bloodline level is only barely at the top level. How can it compare to the Ice Phoenix, the strongest ice-type flying bird?

Not to mention that the Ice Flame Phoenix is ​​not just a simple ice phoenix, but a martial soul fusion skill that is sublimated from Shui Bing'er's ice phoenix martial soul as the main body and Mu Yang's ice flame holy shadow martial soul as the auxiliary body.

"Clang—"

As the saying goes, what is held for too long will eventually be lost. After dodging the soul power feathers shot out by the Frozen Bird, a phoenix cry rang out, and the Ice Flame Phoenix spat out a fan-shaped burst of ice flames, which hit the Frozen Bird, which had no time to dodge.

In an instant, the Frozen Bird, tainted by the special ice flame, felt a chilling cold seep into its entire body.

The bird intended to use its ice-type soul power to resist, but to its horror, before it could react, it felt frost rapidly spreading from the spot on its body that was stained with the strange icy blue flames.

Its powerful ice resistance, typical of top-tier ice-type soul beasts, seemed to have no effect in the face of this strange ice flame.

"Click click click—"

A slight freezing sound rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the terrified Arctic Bird was frozen in mid-air before plummeting to the ground.

"boom--"

A biting wind howled as the frozen bird, now an ice sculpture, crashed onto the snow-covered ground below with a loud bang, sending countless tiny ice crystals flying across the snow.

Before the frozen bird, still dazed and confused, could recover from its frozen state, the Ice Flame Phoenix, under Shui Bing'er's guidance, flapped its wings and swooped down. With its mouth wide open, surging soul power erupted, and fierce ice flames once again spewed out, enveloping the frozen bird's entire body.

Then, the Iceflame Phoenix stopped flying back into the air and landed directly next to the Frozen Bird that was 'bathing' in the raging ice flames. As soon as the raging ice flames showed any signs of going out, it immediately took another bite.

Before long, under the scorching heat of the raging ice flames, the polar bird, which had been unable to escape its frozen state, reached the end of its life.

Against the backdrop of icy blue flames, countless tiny golden specks of light danced and swirled, and a jet-black ten-thousand-year soul ring gradually materialized, adding an unusual touch to this vast, white, snowy world.
