Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 405 We absolutely cannot let Yuhao leave us behind (Daily 10,000 words)

Even though the Ice Emperor's Claw could at least be used by Huo Yuhao as a cooling glove, he really couldn't figure out how to utilize the Dark Gold Terror Claw.

In terms of burst damage, the Dragon Flash and Ashina Cross Slash, imbued with sword intent and killing intent, are already powerful enough for Huo Yuhao to fight even if he is over level 20.

If combined with mental attacks and the Holy Flame Blade, and the potential of the external spinal cord to unleash a soul bone skill, Huo Yuhao could even fight a Soul Emperor to the death.

In this situation, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone is like a chicken rib—it's not very useful, but it's not worth discarding.

It would be better to give Wang Dong some self-defense and close-combat abilities.

No matter what, this can be considered a trump card, something that can turn the tide or save your life in a critical moment.

Although Wang Dong's Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul is quite efficient in both ranged and melee combat, it ultimately lacks the kind of trump card that Huo Yuhao possesses, capable of fighting across large-level differences in soul power. Giving this soul bone to Wang Dong to strengthen it is just right.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had witnessed the destructive power of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear before. Despite being only a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear of two thousand years, it managed to tear a crack in a level 5 invincible shield with a full-force attack.

In other words, this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can even tear apart Soul Emperors and even Soul Saints when they are off guard!

Although he only had the power to strike once, what Wang Dong lacked most at this moment was precisely that kind of power that could instantly turn the tide.

This guy, does he really do so many things that lead to misunderstandings?

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

"Absorb it quickly, or I won't want to go up to the Soul Arena with you anymore, Wang Dong."

Huo Yuhao naturally knew how to get Wang Dong to accept this soul bone.

As expected, Wang Dong immediately bared his teeth in anger upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words.

"Alright, alright, you arrogant fool, don't get too cocky. Just wait and see how I'll beat you to a pulp after I absorb this soul bone!"

Wang Dong angrily sat down cross-legged and began to mobilize his soul power to merge his soul bone with himself.

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

However, Wang Dong's expression soon turned somewhat painful. The liquid from the Dark Gold Terror Claw's right metacarpal bone had been injected into his palm. At first, he felt a little warm, and his hand felt cozy.

Soon, that warmth turned into scorching heat, and the scorching heat turned into intense heat.

As you can see, Wang Dong's entire right hand was covered in dark gold, like a sculpture cast in gold.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the burning pain from the inside out caused his 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.

An invisible wave emanated from Wang Dong's right arm, a dazzling golden halo surging and rushing downwards along his bones.

The clash of the two soul bones made everything even more intense, and the pain was greater than ever before.

This is because Wang Dong's physical condition is strong enough. He possesses two top-tier ten-thousand-year soul bones, the Golden Radiance and the Light Demon-Slaying Bone, and his third soul ring is already five thousand years old. At this time, his physical condition is even better than many soul kings. If it were someone else, they might not be able to withstand this burning absorption process.

We must become stronger, we must become stronger, we cannot be left behind.

A stubborn voice rose in Wang Dong's heart. Apart from Huo Yuhao, that freak, there were probably very few opponents of the same level who could defeat him in the entire Douluo Continent. Even someone as talented as Xiao Xiao would feel powerless when facing Wang Dong.

However, none of them were the people Wang Dong wanted to catch up with and surpass; only Huo Yuhao was.

He needs to master a method that can instantly unleash combat power far exceeding his own level. Only in this way can he narrow the gap with Huo Yuhao as much as possible. In addition, with his cultivation speed being much faster than Huo Yuhao's, he can ensure that he is not left too far behind by Huo Yuhao.

In the process of catching up, Wang Dong was unaware that he was also leaving others further and further behind.

If catching up with Huo Yuhao is something Wang Dong can barely hope to achieve, then surpassing him is a distant dream. For others, both of them are figures they can only look up to with envy.

Despite the pain in his right hand, which still felt like it was being roasted in a furnace, Wang Dong's expression softened. Instead, he began to slowly feel the changes that the Dark Gold Terror Claw external bone had brought to his body.

Putting everything else aside, after absorbing this Dark Gold Terror Claw External Bone, Wang Dong's physical attributes will probably improve even further. Having absorbed two top-tier soul bones, the Light Demon-Slaying Bone and the Dark Gold Terror Claw External Bone, in just a few days, it will be no problem for Wang Dong to choose a 20,000-year-old soul beast for his fourth soul ring!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was proud, but Wang Dong was even more proud. Under Wang Dong's unwavering will, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw exoskeleton finally gradually yielded.

Perhaps recalling the image of Wang Dong grabbing his ear with one hand and swinging the Clear Sky Hammer with the other, relentlessly smashing it against his face, Wang Dong, who had just barely withstood the first wave of impact from absorbing the external soul bone, suddenly felt much more relaxed.

It has to be said that Wang Dong's wild smashing with the Haotian Hammer was probably the real reason why this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear produced a soul bone.

According to Shrek Academy's ancient records, only by abusing and provoking a soul beast before its death can one increase the chances of obtaining a soul bone upon its demise.

Wang Dong's dozens of wild, unreasonable, and chaotic hammer blows probably really unleashed all of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's anger, frustration, and fear at once.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao shook his head as he looked at the mangled remains of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

According to the chefs at Shrek Academy, if a soul beast feels fear before it dies, the meat quality may deteriorate. Hopefully, since this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear died quickly enough, the meat quality hasn't declined too rapidly.

As time went on, Wang Dong's condition stabilized.

No matter how ruthless Dark Gold Terrorclaw is, it will still be intimidated by Wang Dong, the fiend who smashed it to death with the Clear Sky Hammer.

The ruthless fear the cunning, and the cunning fear the stubborn. At this moment, Wang Dong, who is striving to become stronger and catch up with Huo Yuhao's progress, is clearly the stubborn one.

On one side is the excruciating pain of destruction, and on the other is the tingling, itchy sensation of repair.

At this very moment, Wang Dong's right hand was experiencing a pain that felt like it was being recast.

However, Wang Dong remained silent, even though he knew that Huo Yuhao possessed an external spinal cord.

If Huo Yuhao can do it, Wang Dong certainly can!

Wang Dong was drenched in sweat, with large amounts of sweat constantly dripping from his forehead.

In just a short while, Wang Dong's clothes were soaked through, and a faint mist emanated from his body.

Surprisingly, his consciousness remained clear and unwavering.

This unwavering will caught the attention of Elder Xuan.

No, it's not just being taken aback, it's being utterly shocked.

Having cultivated for over a hundred years, Elder Xuan knew very well the kind of pain Wang Dong was currently enduring.
