Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

Of course, the proportion of powerful soul beasts is high, but the number is incomparable to that of the Star Dou Great Forest. In addition, the competition is fierce, and the rulers of the mountains rotate every year. At least in this era, I have not heard of any hundred thousand year soul beasts appearing here in the past hundred years.

You Chen was a skilled and courageous man. Relying on his ability of the Breath-Containing Technique, he broke straight into the core area of ​​the Natural Disaster Mountains.

However, the natural energy of the Calamity Mountains is abundant and violent. While the wind and rain continue, a bolt of lightning will suddenly strike from time to time.

In such an environment, one can imagine how difficult it is to hide one's aura.

You Chen often got struck by lightning when walking on the road for no apparent reason. He could not pretend and was chased by a group of soul beasts.

But no matter what, he finally reached the core area of ​​his destination after some effort.

The core area is where the natural energy of the Calamity Mountains is most active.

The weakest ones who can move around here are powerful soul beasts like the ten thousand year old earth fire dragon that he and the soul fighting beasts had hunted before, that is, they generally have combat power of 50,000 years level and Soul Saint level.

You Chen was not afraid of soul beasts of this level, but he didn't want to provoke them either.

Once a collision or conflict occurs with them, it will easily attract other soul beasts.

If a human soul master appears in such a place, there is a high probability that he will be attacked by other soul beasts first.

Don't forget, after ten thousand years, soul beasts basically have the wisdom of human children, and those soul beasts with higher bloodlines or generally higher ages will obviously have higher wisdom.

This is what You Chen thought and did.

But the reality is somewhat different from expectations.

In the core area of ​​the Calamity Mountains, the environment is even harsher and the energy is even more violent. There are almost no groups of plants to be seen, and the surrounding environment is mostly composed of rocks.

Just as You Chen was using all his strength to use the Breath-Containing Technique to restrain his breath and move forward using the huge rock as cover, a strong wind suddenly blew over.

The strong sense of threat made You Chen's heart alarmed and he dodged quickly.

But when he quickly dodged, he suddenly realized that what attacked him was not natural weather, but a huge white tiger.

Chapter 126: Wind Conquest Dragon

"Wild Wind White Tiger!"

You Chen saw the appearance of the visitor and the faintly visible dark yellow and green lines on the white tiger's body, and recognized what kind of soul beast it was.

The Wild Wind White Tiger is a soul beast that possesses the three attributes of earth, wind, and gold, with the wind attribute being the main one.

Although he does not possess top-level bloodline, he is by no means an ordinary person.

If the top-level bloodline soul beasts such as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Blue Bull Python are equivalent to super martial souls of the quality of human soul masters, and the Earth Fire Dragon and the Wind Conquering Dragon are top-level martial souls with certain top-level bloodlines, then this Wild Wind White Tiger is a first-level advanced martial soul.

And it is a higher level among the advanced martial spirits.

The most important thing is, You Chen looked at the patterns and body shape of the Wild Wind White Tiger and knew that it was at least 50,000 years old, which was equivalent to the combat power of a Soul Saint.

Unless he uses the Soul-Shocking Technique or unleashes some of his killer moves, even You Chen today won't be able to resolve the situation in a short time.

The most crucial issue is that You Chen does not want to consume too much soul power and mental energy when he may encounter Feng Zhenglong at any time.

However, sometimes the option that seems to have the biggest loss is actually the one with the smallest loss.

As the saying goes, if you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. People often suffer losses when they are still worrying about the losses.

And You Chen is the one who can make decisions at the critical moment!

'Soul-shaking Technique!'

Two dark suns rose in the eyes of the Wild Wind White Tiger. At this moment, it regretted provoking such a monster...

puff.

You Chen's hands turned into dragon claws, piercing through the chest of the Wild Wind White Tiger like thunder. This "Wind Claw" killed the 50,000-year-old soul beast with the combat power of a Soul Saint in just an instant.

This is not unusual.

After absorbing the second and third rings of his second life, You Chen's soul power has risen to level 70, otherwise he would not have come to hunt for the seventh ring.

After the first three rings of the second body were complete, You Chen naturally no longer had to worry about the stability of his martial soul. He directly equipped himself with the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone and the 70,000-year-old Archaeopteryx's right arm bone.

To be precise, the latter is also at the level of one hundred thousand years.

Although the martial soul's original power enhanced by soul bones is far less than that of soul rings, You Chen has always been careful with calculations on such crucial matters. In addition, a soul bone undergoes a transformation after 100,000 years, and his soul bone age enhancement card estimates that it will not be too difficult to upgrade all parts to 100,000 years, so of course he chose to use it directly.

With such soul power, martial soul blessing, two hundred thousand year soul bones, plus Youchen's basic physical fitness...

Even basic skills like Wind Fist and Wind Claw are enough to instantly kill a Soul Sage who has no power to resist.

When talking about soul bones, we naturally cannot forget the soul bone skills.

Perhaps it was because it was originally a ten thousand year level soul bone and originally had only one skill. After being upgraded to a hundred thousand year level, it still only had one skill, but correspondingly it gained a more powerful effect than the same hundred thousand year soul bone skill.

The only soul bone skill of the right arm bone of the 100,000-year-old Archaeopteryx is called "Air Compression". There are two ways to use this soul skill. One is as an active skill, which directly compresses the air in the selected area to restrict the target. It can be simply understood as a spherical Yasuo wind wall control skill, but... the oxygen density in this spherical area will be several times that of the outside world, extremely close to a pure oxygen environment, causing the controlled person to directly enter oxygen intoxication and oxygen poisoning symptoms!

It is similar to Qingluan Douluo's "Blue Sky, Cloud Sea, and Absolute Sound", but both the binding suppression force and the incidental effects are obviously stronger!

Here is a little piece of knowledge that goes against people's normal cognition. Compared with vacuum, pure oxygen is more harmful to the human body.

Especially for extraordinary life forms such as soul masters, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the body caused by the vacuum is equivalent to physical damage and can be forcibly resisted.

But oxygen poisoning is magical damage. Unless you are aware of this and force yourself to hold your breath, you will basically be infected the first time you see it.

The first one is a control skill, while the second one is an auxiliary or strengthening skill.

It can be simply understood as enchanting and strengthening subsequent wind skills.

At the same time, because the spirit rings and spirit bones complement each other, additional passive effects are activated, which increases the power of You Chen's air blade to a higher level. It is now extremely close to the strength of a hundred thousand year spirit skill.

And if on this basis, air compression is used to strengthen it, the air blade that is unleashed will be an extremely strong level among the hundred thousand year attack soul skills!

However... the soul power consumption is also rising. With You Chen's current soul power, he can't use it more than a few times.

Let’s get back to the topic.

You Chen couldn't help but frown as he looked at the white tiger soul beast that collapsed like a collapsing mountain.

'Although I don't know what's going on for now, but the Breath Containment Technique doesn't seem to be very useful here?'

The Wild Wind White Tiger is by no means a soul beast that is good at exploration or has a talent for mental power. Its ability in this area can only be said to be average.

Even it could spot Youchen and attack him secretly, which means that the soul beasts living in this area are likely to be able to do something similar.

In fact, when You Chen passed through the periphery before, he found that a part of his body seemed to be vaguely aware of his location. This was by no means an isolated case!

After some consideration, You Chen decided to temporarily give up using the Breath-Containing Technique and instead use normal, less mysterious hiding techniques to move around here.

Although You Chen couldn't figure out the essence of the problem, this decision was not wrong.

The reason why Huangfeng White Tiger was able to detect Youchen’s existence was not because of some powerful perception ability, but because of two words - familiarity!

Soul beasts that can move in the core area with such harsh environment are naturally familiar with the environment here as if they were at home.

The natural energy concentration in the entire core area is extremely high and fluctuates frequently.

Although You Chen's Breath-Containing Technique, which was not yet at the perfect level, seemed to have perfectly restrained his own breath, in fact, he inevitably repelled the restless natural energy, preventing them from entering his body, causing You Chen's breath to become disordered and exposed.

But this has become a huge loophole.

For the soul beasts that have adapted to the chaotic energy of the core area, You Chen using the Breath-Containing Technique is like a perfect gap that suddenly appears in a mess. Naturally, they can find something wrong at a glance.

If the perfect Breath-Containing Technique is used here, its effect is equivalent to allowing oneself to perfectly blend into the surrounding energy field and become a part of it, so there will naturally be no such problem.

But at least the advanced Breath-Containing Technique has not yet reached this level of sophistication.

For most people, it would be difficult to make the right decision since the Breath-Containing Technique had never made any mistakes before, but You Chen did not believe it and quickly made the right judgment.

Although he no longer had the Breath-Concealing Technique, You Chen had learned a lot of martial arts techniques from the rewards of previous missions, so the method of hiding and disguising was no problem for him as well.

Soon, You Chen was no longer discovered and ambushed by soul beasts as before.

But... it's just an entry-level camouflage method, which is still not good enough for soul beasts that make a living by hunting and hiding.

You Chen was chased all over the mountain by several powerful soul beasts several times.

After summarizing the experience and lessons learned, You Chen chose to retreat to the outer area temporarily to hone his camouflage and hiding techniques.

Although the Qi-concentrating Technique's method of gathering energy cannot be used, it also contains many records of disguise and concealment techniques.

You Chen compared the two and practiced them in practice, and soon became proficient.

During the more than half a month of going in and out of the core area, You Chen had basically confirmed the information of most of the soul beasts in the core area.

There are not many soul beasts in the core area, roughly estimated to be dozens. The weakest of them is estimated to be comparable to the Soul Emperor among soul masters, and the weakest one can only survive in this area because of its strong survival ability.

The soul beasts here generally have the combat power of Soul Saint level, and there are fewer at Soul Douluo level. Just based on the amount of time You Chen has found by observing their appearance and estimating their age, there are only five or six of them.

Looking at this number, It seems that You Chen can completely replicate the Wuhun City's practice of continuous assassinations, reducing the number of soul beasts to eliminate possible interference in the subsequent hunting of Feng Zhenglong.

But it is actually impossible.

The first is the problem of the special energy field of the Calamity Mountains.

The second is that the Natural Disaster Mountains are mainly rocky terrain, which is not as easy to hide as Wuhun City, and soul beasts will not worry about affecting their fellow soul beasts like human soul masters do.

Finally, hunting soul beasts too much may cause the soul beasts to unite, which may lead to soul beast riots. The end result may be that you lose more than you gain, and it may also endanger human civilians around the natural disaster mountain range.

All in all, except Feng Zhenglong, other soul beasts are not You Chen's target, and hunting any one of them is ineffective. You Chen tried to search for Feng Zhenglong by sneaking in instead of attacking head-on. The most important goal was to find the best opportunity to shoot the Barrett's bullet at Feng Zhenglong instead of messing around and doing meaningless things.

For a powerful soul beast of Feng Zhenglong's level, which is also a powerful soul beast that excels at speed, the Barrett sniper rifle can only achieve the greatest effect during the first sniper attack.

Taking into account the cooling problem of the Barrett, there is no guarantee that there will be a chance to fire a second shot.

Therefore, the timing of firing the first shot can be said to be of paramount importance.

You Chen thought that even if it was just for this one shot, it would be okay to delay for one more month.

Fortunately, hard work pays off, and the patient hunter finally got an opportunity.

……

"That is Feng Zhenglong..."

Youchen curled up in the shadow of a natural cave formed by rugged rocks and looked into the distance.

A giant dragon with a black chest and back, green wings and limbs was sitting and resting.

The feathers on the green limbs seemed to be wearing a rotating storm armor, vibrating at a very strange frequency with the dragon's breathing. A large amount of air flow passed through it, forming an invisible cyclone protective film.

This giant dragon with such unique and significant physical features is exactly the target of Youchen's trip - the Fengzheng Dragon!

(It is said to be Feng Zheng Long, but the picture is Lan Zheng Long.jpg)

At this moment, the place where Feng Zhenglong was perched was more like an open-air altar with wind blowing in from all sides rather than a rock cave.

Winding and twisted natural stone pillars stand towards the sky like a stone forest, except for a huge flat area in the center of the stone forest. If you look down from the sky, it looks like a devil's hand with dozens of withered fingers reaching towards the sky, and Feng Zhenglong is lying in the palm of that devil's hand.

I don't know if this magic hand is a special terrain, the energy here is extremely chaotic, yet extremely powerful. Even though the energy intensity in the core area is generally very high, the intensity here is at least three times higher.

If You Chen had not practiced the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power and possessed two hundred thousand year soul bones, an ordinary Titled Douluo would have been driven crazy by the energy shock in such an environment, but You Chen was only slightly uncomfortable.

Although You Chen had seen Feng Zhenglong flying by from afar during several intelligence gathering processes before, this was the first time he had seen it at such a close distance, not flying but resting and almost still.

You Chen did not intend to launch a sniper attack here. In fact, he tried hard to control his emotions. By dividing his mind into three parts, supervising each other and reflecting on himself, he maintained an almost empty and pure state and did not harbor any hostility towards Feng Zhenglong.

He knew very well that creatures whose life levels were high enough, even if they did not engage in special spiritual practice and did not have the spiritual realm of Lingyuan realm where they could sense the coming of autumn before the cicadas come, or where they could see everything clearly. They would still have an extremely strong sixth sense.

Just like the Earth Fire Dragon before, it could feel the crisis coming from him.

Facing a Feng Zheng Long that was more than one level stronger, You Chen naturally could not reveal any murderous intent before he really determined the timing for the sniper attack. Otherwise, even if it looked like it was sleeping, the Feng Zheng Long would react immediately, instead of waking up like the dragon creatures in Monster Hunter, which waited until the hunter completed three charges of the greatsword and smashed it on the head.

You Chen conservatively estimated that Feng Zhenglong's warning distance was at least one thousand meters.

Therefore, he was only here to make a preliminary confirmation of Feng Zhenglong's situation. To carry out a real sniper attack, he had to be two thousand meters away.

As a fantasy version of Barrett, the sniper's physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary humans, and its designed maximum range is also far beyond the technological society of the previous life. However, if its maximum power is to be exerted, it is best to keep the range within three kilometers.

'Its body is very clean. This is the self-cleaning effect of its [Flowing Skin·Wind Armor]. This allows the Wind Dragon to stay healthier and prevent germs and infections, but on the other hand, it also makes some of its injuries more obvious. Now... let alone serious injuries, there are no moderate wounds. The two minor injuries, judging by the traces, should have been left earlier, and they are almost fully recovered. It seems that its previous foraging was very smooth. In this state... it should just be converting food into fat reserves.'

You Chen observed Feng Zhenglong and silently conducted a series of analyses.

The core area has the highest energy concentration. Even if there are no natural treasures, just living here can rapidly improve the cultivation of soul beasts.

But in addition to this, soul beasts still need some nutrition from food, so they generally go out to the outer areas to hunt every once in a while.

With the Fengzhenglong's terrifying speed and flying ability, coupled with its current status as the ruler of the core area, it can basically come and go freely.

'Um? '

You Chen was observing Feng Zhenglong with the absolutely indifferent perspective of an high-dimensional bystander. He suddenly sensed a new breath and immediately shrank his body further back into a natural small cave.

'That is……'
