Lin Chen toyed with the Thunder God's Weapon, which could change shape at will, and muttered to himself, "Soul skills are attached to martial souls. I wonder if the form of the martial soul will change in the future, and the soul skills will also evolve into different powers and forms?"
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he suppressed it. Things will work themselves out; worrying about these things now was pointless. His priority was to master the Haotian technique he had just acquired.
He took out the two yellowed manuals from his spatial ring. One contained basic techniques such as the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Sky-Piercing Strike, while the other contained the core Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian and Tang Xiao's self-created tenth acumen. Lin Chen flipped through the pages word by word, his fingertips tracing the soul power circulation routes and power exertion techniques on the pages, secretly calculating in his mind.
"These techniques are profound and complex, especially the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian. Each move requires countless hours of practice to master, and it's impossible to achieve mastery in a short time." Lin Chen frowned slightly and closed the manual. "There are too many people and too many eyes at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. If I practice hammer techniques there, and Haotian Sect's spies find out, they will definitely follow the clues and connect it to the disappearance of the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder. Then we'll be in big trouble."
He knew very well that although the Haotian Sect was secluded and did not appear in the world, there were definitely many spies in the Tiandou Empire. He had to find an absolutely secluded place where no one knew him to cultivate in seclusion.
Carefully putting away the two manuals, Lin Chen's mind stirred, and a dragon core, wreathed in purple-gold lightning and radiating ancient majesty, appeared in his palm. It was the very same dragon core he had taken from the remains of the Thunder Dragon King.
Inside the Dragon Pill, the violent and pure lightning-elemental power surged continuously, several times stronger than the previous Golden Dragon Pill. Just holding it in his hand made Lin Chen's skin tingle slightly, and his entire body's lightning martial soul was jumping and restless.
"The last time I devoured the Golden Dragon Pill, it not only allowed my third martial soul to condense its first soul ring, but it also directly propelled my martial soul to advance, causing its power to surge." Lin Chen stared at the dragon pill, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. "This Thunder Dragon King Dragon Pill is of even higher quality. If I devour it, it might allow my Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul to advance further, or even directly condense its second soul ring."
Just as he was about to activate his soul power to devour the dragon pill, an invisible force quietly spread out, conveying a vague message—the time is not yet ripe, do not act rashly.
Lin Chen stared at the Thunder Dragon King's Dragon Core in his palm, the throbbing in his Destiny Skull between his brows becoming increasingly clear. That mysterious power didn't seem like a warning of danger, but rather a guidance of fate, telling him that the time was not yet ripe.
"Is it really fate that's blocking my way?" he murmured to himself, a stubborn glint in his eyes.
His past life habits made him disbelieve in fate, believing only in himself. He decided to use the simplest and most direct method to verify this—flipping a coin.
"If it's on the front, it will be devoured immediately; if it's on the back, it will be sealed away temporarily."
Lin Chen flicked his finger, and a gold soul coin drew a golden arc in the air before landing on the ground with a "ding".
It was clearly the opposite.
"Just a coincidence." He didn't believe it and picked up the coin toss it again.
reverse side.
The third time, the opposite.
The fourth time, it was still the opposite.
Several times in a row, the result was exactly the same, as if an invisible hand was manipulating things. Lin Chen frowned, his stubbornness ignited. He changed the rules and said coldly, "This time, switch sides. Don't absorb from the front, absorb from the back!"
The coin was tossed up again and landed.
front!
Lin Chen stared at the coins on the ground and fell completely silent.
Even changing the rules couldn't alter the outcome; this is no coincidence, but rather destiny.
He recalled the times he had followed the guidance of fate, and although the process was full of twists and turns, he had ultimately escaped danger and gained far more than expected. Forcibly defying fate might really bring disaster upon himself.
"So be it." Lin Chen sighed softly, the stubbornness in his eyes fading, replaced by clarity. "What's mine will eventually come to me. Rather than rushing things, I should focus on cultivating my skills and building up my strength for a future breakthrough."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Chen simply took out the long-sealed divine armor from his spatial ring.
It was a complete set of purple-gold Thor's battle armor, forged entirely from the purest lightning-elemental divine metal, shimmering with light and exuding an overwhelming sense of magnificence. Yet, it also conveyed a desolate and dilapidated feeling, with fine cracks and oxidation marks visible on some of the armor plates, as if it had undergone the baptism of endless years.
The breastplate was square and imposing, with intricate thunder god runes engraved on the chest. In the center of the indentation, there was an oval purple gemstone, which was the energy core of the armor.
The shoulder armor is asymmetrical, with one shoulder armor being larger than the other. The left shoulder armor has a semi-circular design, while the right shoulder armor extends with sharp spikes, making it highly aggressive. The arms are covered with heavy arm armor, with the forearms and backs of the hands integrated into a claw-like shape. The left hand armor has a rounded and thick palm that can be used for blocking, while the right hand armor is sharp and pointed, resembling a fist blade.
A protective skirt, made of dozens of interconnected armor plates, cinched at the waist, allowed for seamless movement. The legs were fitted with separate leg armor pieces: the left thigh, right thigh, left calf, and right calf were all independent, with the plates fitting tightly together, revealing the flexible knees. Finally, a pair of boots extended to the ankles, their soles engraved with spirit-gathering array patterns, allowing for effortless movement as if treading on flat ground.
Although this armor appears damaged, it exudes a domineering aura that surpasses all other Soul Master equipment, making it the pinnacle of defense on the Douluo Continent. Its texture and exquisite craftsmanship are comparable to the top-tier Battle Armor of the legendary Douluo III era. It's just unknown what level of Battle Armor it corresponds to.
A glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and he stepped forward to try to put it on.
However, although the armor was a legacy from Thor, it was far too large for his current size, hanging loosely on his body, looking empty and lacking any aesthetic appeal.
"It seems we still have to rely on Thor's bloodline to drive it."
With a thought, Lin Chen unleashed a burst of purple-gold lightning around his body, fully activating his Thunder God bloodline!
In an instant, the battle armor, which had been slightly worn and ill-fitting, seemed to come alive.
The purplish-gold armor plates began to tremble slightly, the divine runes inside gleaming. The armor itself seemed to come alive, slowly contracting and conforming to Lin Chen's body. It automatically adapted to Lin Chen's form, perfectly enveloping his body with a tight fit.
The breastplate tightened, perfectly outlining his muscle lines; the shoulder armor settled in, with sharp spikes positioned precisely on the sides of his shoulders; the leg armor shortened, perfectly matching the length of his legs, no longer cumbersome.
The armor, which was originally slightly damaged, shone with a brand new luster after its bloodline was activated, and the tiny cracks were quietly repaired by the power of lightning.
"boom!"
With the last armor plate in place, Lin Chen was finally fully dressed in the Thor's Battle Armor.
A purple-gold light flowed around him, thunder roared, and he was like a war god emerging from a thunderstorm, his aura was overwhelming and his power was overwhelming.
"That's the feeling!" Lin Chen clenched his fist, feeling the exhilarating sensation of the armor's powerful defense merging with his body, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow as he looked at the imposing Thunder God Armor he was wearing. This purple-gold divine armor was far too eye-catching; once he stepped out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it would surely attract countless covetous eyes.
"I wonder if it's possible to conceal one's presence?"
A thought struck him, and he tried to communicate with the Thor Armor using his mental power. The next second, the purple-gold light around him suddenly receded, and the entire armor seeped into his skin like flowing water, leaving only a faint purple-gold luster, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and he felt no restraint when moving.
"It really works!" Lin Chen's eyes flashed with surprise. "This ability to conceal is a technique only found in the four-word battle armor of the Dragon King Legend. It truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient relic of the Thunder God."
He raised his hand and stroked the smooth skin, clearly feeling the thickness and toughness of the armor beneath. He thought to himself, "But this armor is ultimately damaged. If it could be completely repaired, its power would surely be even greater. I just don't know what kind of divine material would be needed—top-grade metal, deep-sea silver, or the blood or soul bone of a 100,000-year-old lightning-type soul beast? This matter needs to be considered carefully."
His thoughts shifted, and his gaze fell on the broken purple-gold divine halo behind his head.
The ring was cracked at the edges and its light was dim, making it more dilapidated than when it was first acquired. Several uses of the Thunder God's divine skill burned the primal power within the ring, and although it did not shatter completely, it was severely damaged.
"This divine ring is formed from the essence of the Thunder God and is the key to inheriting the divine position. If it completely shatters, there will be no hope of becoming a god." Lin Chen lightly touched the divine ring with his fingertips, feeling the faint pulse within it, and couldn't help but feel somewhat distressed. "I wonder if there is any way to repair it?"
Lin Chen stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings. There were very few treasures that could be used to repair the Thunder God's Ring. The Thunder Dragon King's dragon core and divine core were his only hope, but he dared not act rashly.
"It seems we'll have to put the plan to repair the divine ring on hold for now."
He sighed softly and turned his attention to the spatial ring. With a thought, a pair of dragon horns, shimmering with purple-gold lightning and covered with fine dragon scales, appeared in his hands.
This is the Dragon King-level external soul bone that was peeled off from the remains of the Thunder Dragon King!
The dragon horns were icy to the touch, yet they contained an extremely violent and concentrated power of lightning, purer and more refined than his Skull of Destiny. While the Skull of Destiny was also divine, it had been worn down by time, its power no longer at its peak; and these two Thunder Dragon King horns, though not entirely intact, were still more powerful than the Skull of Destiny!
"What a treasure!" Lin Chen's eyes gleamed. "External soul bones are rare to begin with, and those at the Dragon King level are one in a million. If I absorb them, my lightning-type combat power will definitely skyrocket!"
However, he still had concerns: the threshold for absorbing external soul bones was extremely high. With his current Soul Master realm, could he withstand the violent power of a Dragon King-level soul bone?
After hesitating for a long time, he took out the golden soul coin that would determine his fate, tossed it lightly between his fingers, and muttered to himself, "I have something to discuss. Absorbing this external soul bone shouldn't require too high a level, right? With my current strength, I should be able to handle it, right? I'll absorb it if it's a head-on, and wait if it's a tail-on!"
The gold soul coin spun in the air, tracing a golden arc, before finally landing on the ground with a "ding".
Lin Chen looked closely—
front!
"It is the will of Heaven!"
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he gripped the Thunder Dragon King's horn bone tightly in his hand.
Since fate has allowed it, then absorb it!
These Dragon King-level external soul bones will surely become another powerful weapon for him to crush all his opponents!
