Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

In the distance, You Chen was driving away other soul beasts to prevent them from accidentally entering the hunting circle.

This is not a meaningless move, but rather a necessary one.

Because a thousand-year-old soul beast already possesses combat power at the Soul Master to Soul Sect level.

It is true that the Soul Fighting Beasts armed with the Black Fire Crossbow have amazing killing power, but their defensive performance is far inferior to their offensive performance.

A collision with the thousand-year-old soul beast, which posed no threat to the Earth Fire Dragon, might cause them to be injured or even lose members.

Having a strong man like You Chen complete this mopping-up operation can greatly improve their hunting tolerance rate and reduce the probability of accidents.

But after noticing that the fire dragon began to flee, You Chen suddenly stopped his work and shook his head.

You Chen already knew that the plan to complete the hunting by relying solely on the Soul Fighting Beasts had failed.

Suddenly, he controlled the starlight incarnation to launch a suicide attack. At the same time, he flapped his wings and flew away at high speed.

……

boom!

The shockwaves from the explosion of the Starlight Incarnation only knocked down the Earth Fire Dragon briefly.

It let out an angry roar and climbed up, looking left and right vigilantly, but did not see anyone. There was a question mark above its head, and it was about to continue on its way to escape.

Suddenly, the air exploded, and a familiar figure descended across the sky.

The Earth Fire Dragon widened its eyes. It was clearly a familiar face, but it felt a threat from the other party that was far greater than before, and even its body could not help but tremble!

"Roar!!!"

The Earth Fire Dragon first pretended to be extremely angry and roared at You Chen as if it was about to use a big move, then turned around without hesitation and continued to run away.

However, as soon as it turned its head, it saw You Chen still standing in front of it with his arms folded.

This time, its body was truly frozen in place.

The Soul-Shocking Technique!

A strong sense of oppression emanated from You Chen. The Earth Fire Dragon felt that the existence in front of it was not a human being at all, but a hundred thousand year old dragon beast wearing human skin with blood superior to its own!

——If one is born with qualities such as "dragon power" or "imperial majesty", this skill can also bring additional deterrent effects.

This is a major hidden feature of the Soul-Shocking Technique.

Because of his martial soul, You Chen also has dragon blood.

What You Chen is doing now is to actively activate the Soul-Shocking Technique in the direction of Dragon Power!

The dragon clan is a race with strict bloodline hierarchy. The terrifying dragon might that You Chen stimulated through the Soul-Shocking Technique was like a real weight that fell firmly on the Earth Fire Dragon, directly rendering this Holy Land Fire Dragon unable to move!

The next moment, You Chen naturally opened his arms and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

The light left fist was swung out first, and endless clouds rolled up.

The violent and fierce right punch came from behind and arrived first, sweeping through like a fierce storm.

"Wind Fist!"

The compressed storm punched the Earth Fire Dragon's jaw and lifted it high.

"Cloud Moving Fist!"

Endless clouds dropped from the sky and hit the upper jaw of the Earth Fire Dragon!

"The wind and clouds are moving!"

At this moment, wind and clouds collided and the sky changed suddenly.

hum--.

The powerful shock created a violent air wave. With this impact as the center, the trees on both sides fell to the left and kneeled down, and the clouds in the sky opened up a clear blue sky.

The Soul Fighting Beasts who rushed to the scene saw You Chen knocking the Earth Fire Dragon unconscious with two punches.

Chapter 96: Soul Fighting Beast's First Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring

"Still, too bad."

The Soul Fighting Beasts who witnessed this scene were all stunned, as if they were meeting a god. Then they saw that the god who easily defeated the giant dragon beast that had caused them so much suffering seemed to be very dissatisfied with this and let out a sigh.

This wasn't just You Chen being pretentious, deep down... he really thought so.

The power of this move "Wind and Cloud Movement" is definitely enough. If evaluated by the age of the soul skill, it should be much higher than the Roar of the Wind Dragon and should have reached the strength of a 30,000-year soul skill.

In addition, this is a complex medium-range move that unleashes both physical strength and soul power at the same time. Since You Chen's current physical strength far exceeds his soul power level, it is not wrong to count it as a 50,000-year soul skill.

But the biggest problem with this method is that it is too slow!

If the timing of the collision and fusion of the two Fengyun punches is wrong and the two soul skills cannot be perfectly integrated, the advanced fusion soul skill "Fengyun Dong" cannot be successfully performed.

A normal opponent would not wait for You Chen to get ready and then perform perfectly. If he had not used the Soul-Shocking Technique to control the Earth Fire Dragon first, it would have been almost impossible to successfully use the Wind and Cloud Movement in the fierce and high-speed battle.

This makes it far less useful than the Wind Dragon's Roar.

You Chen came back to his senses and found that all the soul fighting beasts were staring at him. He frowned and looked around at everyone, then said loudly: "What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting for me to praise you? Your performance is indeed good. I can defeat this earth fire dragon so easily, and you all have contributed a lot. But solving the earth fire dragon is just completing our main goal, but it does not mean that the mission is over! Before leaving the Xingdou Great Forest, always be alert! If someone is killed by a soul beast because of being too happy and lax, it will be a joke!"

After saying this, everyone dispersed and organized the vigilance work under the arrangement of each team leader.

You Chen turned to look at Ignis and said, "Ignis, I have knocked the Earth Fire Dragon unconscious. What are you still doing here? Now is the time for you to give it the final blow! Do you want me to drag it to you and let you kill it?"

You Chen naturally saw that his subordinates felt that they were not doing their job well, so they felt ashamed and did not dare to take any action before he gave the order. But in You Chen's view, they were fully qualified to have achieved this.

Instead of punishing her, he directly ordered Ignis to come and absorb the soul ring in order to cover up the matter.

"I dare not! Chief, I'll go right away!"

When Ignis heard You Chen's words, she was immediately shocked and nodded hurriedly. She hurried forward and gave the Earth Fire Dragon the final blow.

Then he started to practice the "Soul Power Borrowing Technique" on the spot and absorbed the black ten thousand year soul ring.

The commotion caused by the hunting of the fire dragon naturally attracted a lot of soul beasts. When Ignis absorbed the soul ring, a lot of soul beasts also wandered over.

You Chen, however, remained motionless, observing Ignis' changes and protecting her, leaving the task of expelling soul beasts to other soul beasts.

You Chen is very confident in the "Soul Power Borrowing Method", but scientific research has always been about bold guesses and careful verification.

The ten thousand year spirit ring was a huge leap compared to the previous spirit rings. Before specific testing, You Chen couldn't assert that there would be no problems.

The limit of the fourth ring of a new-era soul master is between 10,000 and 11,000 years, and this soul ring is not only produced by a top-level soul beast, but also has a lifespan of up to 12,000 years.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the end.

With the help of the Soul Power Borrowing Technique, Ignis' soul power strength was temporarily increased to level 42 when she absorbed the soul ring. As the soul power level increased, the originally difficult absorption process instantly became smooth.

After all, the age of this soul ring is still a thousand years away from the maximum age of the fourth ring after Ignis activated the "Soul Power Borrowing Method" calculated by You Chen.

Half an hour later, Ignis opened her eyes. From the fluctuations of her soul power, which were not completely stable, it could be seen that Ignis had reached level 45!

It seemed that he had increased his level by 5 levels after absorbing the soul ring, but in fact, he had only increased his level by 3 levels.

Reaching level 15 at the age of 45, this speed is not inferior to Tang San in the original novel.

You Chen smiled with satisfaction and asked, "How is it?"

Ignis felt the changes in herself, and even her always cool face showed a hint of joy.

"Chief, I feel...very good! It is worthy of the spirit ring you chose for me. The compatibility is estimated to be more than 90%. I can feel the obvious improvement of my martial spirit. As for the spirit skill I obtained, it is called 'Red Dragon Combat Body', which is an amplification spirit skill that enhances strength and defense!"

Having said that, Ignis directly activated the spirit ring. Under the possession of the martial spirit, the dark red dragon scales seemed to have lava flowing... The posture was very similar to the previous explosive mode of the Earth Fire Dragon!

You Chen nodded: "A ten thousand year level amplification soul skill will not be obsolete even if it is used at the Titled Douluo level. However, there is more to it than that."

He reached out and a dark red soul bone appeared in his hand.

"This is the torso bone dropped by the Earth Fire Dragon. The spirit rings and spirit bones of the same spirit beast are naturally the most suitable."

"This……"

Ignis shook her head solemnly: "It's too precious! This hunt was not done by me alone. With my current achievements, I definitely can't exchange for this soul bone!"

You Chen looked at Ignis' serious expression and couldn't help laughing. He said jokingly, "Don't forget, after absorbing this spirit ring, you have become the first 'Dragon Head'! Even if this spirit bone is worth a lot... Can't you get it by using that 'wish'? Or, are you really willing to let go of this spirit bone that best suits you?"

"Well……"

Ignis showed a struggling expression, and after falling into deep thought, she muttered in a low voice like a lost soul: "I want it so much... or rather, I absolutely don't want to let it go. However, my only 'wish' cannot be used in a place like this... but it will take at least ten years to accumulate merits that can be exchanged for the ten thousand year soul bones of a top soul beast..."

Snapped!

You Chen clapped his hands suddenly, startling Ignis and bringing her back to her senses.

Ignis was stunned when You Chen stuffed the soul bone into her arms and said in an unquestionable tone: "As the leader, I will not force you to use up your 'wish'. As for this soul bone, with your speed of accumulating merits and ranking, you will definitely be the first to exchange it. In this case, absorb it first, and then work hard for me and repay this debt as soon as possible!"

"But……"

"I don't care what you think, I care what I think! I am the leader! It's decided!"

"Um...okay."

Under You Chen's forced request, Ignis finally accepted the soul bone with a blushing face.

The absorption was definitely not done here and there, but after the absorption, the soul bone skills obtained were not too surprising.

The soul bone skill "Red Dragon Battle Pattern" is a skill that increases speed and all-round resistance. When used together with "Red Dragon Battle Body", both soul skills can gain additional bonuses.

After absorbing this ten thousand year old soul bone, Ignis' strength has already stepped half a step into the Soul Emperor level.

(In the original book, absorbing soul bones can increase levels while absorbing soul bones can not, and the level of increase is completely unbalanced according to the age of the soul bones, which makes people feel that it is a bit random. This book simply does not increase the soul power level at all.)

Chapter 97 You Chen's Choice (Part )

After Ignis successfully absorbed the soul ring, You Chen's purpose of this trip could be said to have been basically achieved.

Verified the feasibility of the Soul Power Borrowing Method for absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring;

Allowing Ignis to at least have the strength of a Soul King can help the Soul Beasts obtain the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring later - this is considered an over-achievement;

The group strength of the Soul Beasts and their experience in operating in the Star Forest were tested;

Tested the lethality of the Black Fire Crossbow.

The four goals can be said to have been successfully achieved.

However, after witnessing Ignis using the Soul Power Borrowing Technique to absorb the soul ring, You Chen remembered his own dilemma.

Struggling over whether to equip my alt with soul rings now.

You Chen calculated that the maximum lifespan of the second soul ring is 3 years, and correspondingly, the maximum lifespan of the third soul ring is 5 years.

After a year of experience with these two levels of soul beasts, he is now fully capable of hunting them on his own and escaping safely.

Because he couldn't explain to Diwan and other good friends why he had to absorb a new spirit ring so soon... or in other words, his trust in Diwan and others was not enough to reveal this card now.

Therefore, a big part of the problem in hunting for subsequent spirit rings for himself was that You Chen himself was not strong enough.

But now, he already has such strength.

In other words, because of his mastery of the "Breath-Containing Technique", he no longer needs to acquire strength far beyond the power of hunting soul beasts of the corresponding age.

Because even if he might provoke the big boss behind the target, he can use the Breath-Concealing Technique to escape from the scene as soon as possible without being discovered.

Therefore, he can now hunt for the small second and third soul rings, and then hunt for the large sixth soul ring, and directly ascend to the Soul Emperor.

It is more likely that the small account will be able to reach the bottleneck of level 60 after absorbing the second soul ring.

As for absorbing the fourth, fifth and sixth rings of the small one, and then hunting for the seventh ring of the large one to directly ascend to Soul Saint?

No, You Chen’s seventh ring’s target was a soul beast whose strength was not inferior to that of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, that is, a soul beast whose strength had reached the Titled Douluo level.

At this stage he is unable to complete the hunt.

However, if he were to be promoted to Soul Emperor and practice the Divine Elephant Prison Power further, he would definitely be able to possess the combat power of a Soul Douluo.

Even when facing Tang Hao, this Tang Hao who has not yet fully recovered, still has the strength to struggle.

This feeling of security... is simply incomparable.

In addition, after having stronger strength, You Chen’s subsequent harvesting of task line one will naturally be smoother and faster!

However... You Chen's ambition does not stop there.

Through the "Soul Power Borrowing Method", you can forcibly borrow up to ten levels of soul power, and without the need for any other additional resources, you can increase the optimal lifespan of your soul ring.

This kind of invention is unprecedented in the Douluo Continent.
