Douluo: Because he was afraid of dying, he maxed out his defense.

three days later.

Chen Yu and Tie Xi finally discovered a soul beast called the Ice Armor Monster on a snow-covered mountain.

On the vast snow-covered mountain, a group of ice-armored monsters were digging for flowers and plants covered in ice and snow in the distance. They looked like pangolins, except that their bodies were covered with a thin layer of ice armor.

The leading ice-armored monster was only one meter tall and was warily looking around, its round eyes scanning the surroundings, though its eyesight didn't seem to be very good.

It did not find Chen Yu and his group.

On the contrary, the ice-armored monster leader kept sniffing the air around him, as if he could sense danger.

"Xiaoyu, this Ice Armor Beast should meet your needs, but it seems to be a thousand-year-old soul beast."

Tie Xi frowned and said hesitantly. He clearly didn't want Chen Yu to choose the Ice Armor Beast leader as his first soul ring.

In this primitive era, the soul masters in the tribe had no idea how many years a soul beast was, nor how to determine the lifespan of most soul beasts.

However, thanks to their perception of soul power and the fact that their martial souls possessed the so-called Ice God bloodline, they were able to barely sense the approximate age of ice-attribute soul beasts.

Of course, the purple soul power within this Ice Armor Beast leader is also proof that it is a thousand-year-old soul beast.

However, this perception is too vague.

If the absorption fails, the Soul Master will become a cripple due to the conflict of Soul Power.

In that primitive era, this was almost impossible.

They would rather be weaker than become useless.

This is even more true within tribes, where each Soul Master is a symbol of the tribe's strength.

However, Chen Yu shook his head.

"Uncle Tiexi, I want him."

Chen Yu didn't make the decision suddenly, nor did he necessarily want to challenge himself.

Rather, he clearly discovered the characteristics of his own martial spirit.

Seeing that Tie Xi still seemed to want to argue, Chen Yu immediately explained.

"Uncle Tiexi, please listen to me first."

Chen Yu smiled slightly, then pointed to the Ice Spirit Serpent beside him.

The Ice Spirit Serpent also possesses the so-called bloodline of the Ice God. At this moment, it is not hibernating on this snow mountain. Instead, it is very energetic, staring intently at the Ice Armor Beast clan, flicking its tongue.

He was practically drooling.

Seeing this, Tie Xi also looked at the Ice Spirit Serpent.

You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.

Tie Xi had seen the Ice Spirit Serpent several times in the past three days, but every time he saw it, he was startled.

The ice spirit snake was only as thick as Chen Yu's arm at first, but now it's as thick as his arm.

Now, this Ice Spirit Serpent can be considered a python.

"Little Ice is my martial soul, an independent beast martial soul. Over the past three days, Uncle Iron Rhino, you should have realized how extraordinary it is."

"First of all, as an independent beast spirit, Xiao Bing has its own independent intelligence, independent body, and can even absorb energy independently."

"I've fed it a lot of ten-year-old soul beast meat over the past three days, and it's eaten it all. It's even getting bigger and bigger now."

"This demonstrates its extraordinary nature."

"It can grow even stronger on its own. If it weren't for the limitations of my spirit rings, it would far surpass spirit beasts."

"It has the physique of a soul beast and the growth rate of a soul master!"

"But what I want to talk to you about, Uncle Iron Rhino, is not this point, but the second point: its physique as a soul beast."

"Uncle Tiexi, let me ask you, after your Ice Armor Rhino Martial Soul was attached to you, did you obtain its full power?"

"If you don't understand, let me put it another way. Do you think Uncle Er Gou's Snow Mastiff Lion Martial Soul, after it possessed him, gave him the full power of the spirit beast?"

"Strength, speed, sense of smell..."

After Chen Yu said these things, Tie Xi understood what Chen Yu meant, and his face was full of shock.

"Xiaoyu, I understand what you mean."

"Yang Ergou didn't get the sense of smell of canine soul beasts, and I didn't get the full defensive power of the Ice Armor Rhinoceros Martial Soul."

"But your Martial Soul, Little Ice, has it all; it's almost identical to the real Ice Spirit Serpent Soul Beast."

"Being able to eat to become stronger, possessing its own intelligence, and having the ability of snake-type soul beasts to sense heat sources, is why we have been able to frequently avoid some troubles in this place and even find the current Ice Armor Beast clan."

"Moreover, Xiao Bing's power is the same as that of a soul beast. Its power is so strong that even I cannot easily break free from it."

Iron Rhinoceros's eyes were filled with complex emotions, all of which demonstrated the advantages of the Ice Spirit Serpent as an independent beast martial soul.

Unlike ordinary beast spirits, the Ice Spirit Serpent does not share its power with the spirit master. However, the downside is that Chen Yu cannot enjoy the physical enhancement provided by the Ice Spirit Serpent.

However, Soul Masters absorb Soul Rings using their Martial Soul.

In other words, the Ice Spirit Serpent can withstand a large amount of soul power when absorbing soul rings.

With the Ice Spirit Serpent bearing the powerful soul force, Chen Yu naturally didn't need to worry about the impact of the soul force.

The Ice Spirit Serpent's physique is now completely comparable to that of a Soul Venerable expert.

"I understand the logic, but this is the first ring in a thousand years..."

Tie Xi frowned; he was still hesitant.

"Uncle Tiexi, you have to believe me. Even if the Ice Spirit Serpent can't withstand the impact of soul power, there's still me, isn't there?"

"I've eaten whale glue, so enduring a four-hundred-year-old spirit ring is no problem at all."

"If the Ice Spirit Serpent can endure for six hundred years, that will be enough."

Chen Yu patted his chest and said confidently.

"OK……"

In the end, Tie Xi nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, the Iron Rhinoceros Martial Soul possessed the Iron Rhinoceros, and a huge phantom of the Ice Armor Rhinoceros Martial Soul entered the Iron Rhinoceros's body. Thick rhinoceros armor immediately grew on the surface of the Iron Rhinoceros's body, and a layer of ice was also on the surface of the rhinoceros armor. The ice was like a solid shield, protecting the Iron Rhinoceros's body.

The next second, a three-meter-tall rhinoceros-man charged directly into the Ice Armor Beast horde.

at the same time.

Only then did the Ice Armor Beasts discover the Iron Rhino, their enemy.

Upon discovering that it was just a fourth-ring human, the Ice Armor Beast leader roared, and countless Ice Armor Beasts lunged at and grabbed at the Iron Rhinoceros.

"Clang clang clang!"

The attacks of the ice-armored beasts could only leave faint white marks on the iron rhinoceros's armor.

In terms of defense, the Ice Armor Rhino possesses both solid ice and rhino armor, making it arguably one of the top defensive martial souls on the Douluo Continent.

This is why Tie Xi dared to step forward and obtain a soul ring for Chen Yu.

The advantages of defensive-type battle spirit masters are fully demonstrated in Iron Rhino.

As long as their defenses cannot be breached, they are invincible.

The next second, a white, a yellow, and a purple soul ring rose from beneath Iron Rhino's feet.

A flash of purple light appeared.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Raging Waterfall Peak!"

A cold light flashed from the rhinoceros horn on the iron rhinoceros's head, and the horn suddenly expanded several times in the air, becoming a full two meters long.

Then, with its horn sharp as a knife, it thrust directly towards the Ice Armor Beast leader.

Its speed was so great that even a spirit beast like the Ice Armor Beast, which was naturally armored and relatively slow, could hardly dodge it.

Fortunately, the Ice Armor Beast leader was also skilled in defense, and a layer of ice ring armor appeared on the Ice Armor Beast's body. However, compared to the Iron Rhinoceros's attack, this ice ring armor was much weaker.

"Snap!"

In an instant, the Ice Ring Armor shattered, and the rhinoceros horn, resembling a giant blade, pinned the Ice Armor Beast leader firmly to the snow. Then, in a flash...

The rhinoceros horn transformed into an ice pillar, completely freezing the leader of the ice-armored beasts.

The other ice-armored beasts, seeing this, also screamed and ran away.

"Xiaoyu, come quickly and kill it, then you can absorb its spirit ring."
