22: Chapter 22 The Nearly Perfect External Soul Bone—Golden Dragon Armor

"Five Elements Battle Bow! Did it really succeed?" Flender carefully observed Su Ling's new Spirit, and it was indeed different from before.

"Su Ling, try shooting an arrow."

"Alright!"

Raising the Five Elements Battle Bow in his hand, the difference from before was that the weight of the Five Elements Battle Bow had obviously increased, and the strength required to pull the bowstring was several times greater.

Fortunately, Su Ling's own strength was not weak, so he still pulled the Five Elements Battle Bow into a full moon, and his Soul Power condensed into an arrow.

With one shot, the arrow whistled, followed by a loud boom.

The arrow shot into a large tree about fifty meters away with a diameter of roughly one meter. At least half of the arrow embedded itself into the trunk, and its power was several times greater than Su Ling's previous ordinary arrows.

Only now did Su Ling truly realize the gap between an ordinary Spirit and a top-tier Spirit.

Innate Soul Power determines the upper and lower limits of Soul Power Cultivation, while the quality of the Spirit determines the strength of a Spirit Master's combat power; this is why top-tier Spirits can fight across levels.

"Boss Su, this arrow of yours is too powerful." Ma Hongjun ran all the way over to look at the hole in the tree trunk and exclaimed.

"Not bad, not bad. Su Ling, everything you did was worth it," Flender commented.

"Good lad, I misjudged you before," Zhao Wuji also spoke up.

Tang San seemed to remember something, then took a book out from his spirit tool and flipped through it.

"Brother Su, the teacher's notes contain records of your Spirit, the Five Elements Battle Bow. It is said that more than two hundred years ago, a powerful individual possessing the Five Elements Battle Bow appeared. During their Spirit Douluo period, they shot and killed three Titled Douluo-level powerhouses, and their Spirit was directly listed as the second-ranked Tool Spirit on the list at that time."

"The Five Elements Battle Bow is definitely a top-tier Tool Spirit."

With Tang San's explanation, everyone had a brand-new understanding of Su Ling's Spirit.

[Ding... Xiao Wu's favorability +3, obtained white treasure chest *1]

[Ding... Ning Rongrong's favorability +10, obtained white treasure chest +6, yellow treasure chest +1]

Hearing the System's voice, Su Ling's eyes involuntarily turned toward Ning Rongrong. This little girl, seeing that his potential development limit had increased, had actually increased her favorability by so much.

This undoubtedly illustrated the reality of society; even Ning Rongrong was no exception.

"Congratulations, Brother Su." Ning Rongrong saw Su Ling looking over and felt a bit embarrassed.

In addition to Ning Rongrong's favorability increasing, Xiao Wu's had also increased, though not by much, indicating that these two valued this aspect.

If you were an ordinary person, they might not even interact with you, let alone have the chance to become friends.

As for Zhuqing, her favorability did not change, indicating that for Zhuqing, Su Ling's potential, whether high or low, would not make a difference.

Of course, this might also be related to Zhuqing's current favorability of 76 points; it wouldn't increase further because of this.

"Su Ling, what about your previous Spirit Abilities?" Flender continued to ask.

Su Ling said, "After the Spirit evolved, I can switch to use any of the Five Elements Soul Power at any time, so the second and third Spirit Abilities can both be used; they are no longer the useless Spirit Abilities from before."

"That's good, that's good. Alright, let's hurry back," Flender said.

Three days later, everyone left the Star Dou Great Forest together and then arrived at a nearby Spirit Hunting Town.

They found a suitable hotel to rest for a day or two; after all, living in the forest for so long, simple washing was okay, but don't even think about taking a bath.

So everyone had a smell on them, and Su Ling could also use this time to absorb the external Spirit Bone dropped by the Golden Armored Earth Dragon.

Taking the Spirit Bone out of the spirit tool, the Spirit Bone looked like it was composed of golden scales.

Su Ling couldn't possibly refuse a ten-thousand-year external Spirit Bone. If it were an ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit ring, Su Ling would still have to consider it, but he wouldn't need to consider an external Spirit Bone even if it were only a hundred years old.

After all, external Spirit Bones have the ability to evolve and grow.

Controlling it to enter his body, this external Spirit Bone actually wanted to fuse into his chest.

Absorbing a Spirit Bone is simpler than absorbing a spirit ring, but it still took about ten hours to fully fuse with his body.

In the hotel room, Su Ling stood up and looked at his chest, where there was a golden scale mark.

With a thought, the golden scale mark disappeared. Then, Su Ling controlled the release of the external Spirit Bone, and the mark appeared again, then manifested a scale, after which the scales began to spread over Su Ling's entire body.

The scales wrapped around his body, covering it tightly.

Except for his eyes, ears, and mouth, the rest of his body was completely covered.

Feeling the effect of the external Spirit Bone, Su Ling whispered, "Then I'll call you Golden Dragon Armor."

The Golden Dragon Armor's main function is defense, followed by the ability to increase Su Ling's body strength and power by 50% after use, while the defense cannot be expressed in concrete values.

After releasing the Golden Dragon Armor, Su Ling also discovered a special feature: he could barely feel the weight of the Golden Dragon Armor, and his joint movement was not affected at all.

In other words, Su Ling's Golden Dragon Armor did not reduce his speed; this was an almost perfect external Spirit Bone.

"Now that I have this Golden Dragon Armor, plus my Spirit, I should have the ability to challenge across levels."

Only now did Su Ling feel that this was the correct way to start his journey in the Douluo World.

Not to mention he still had the System.

With a thought, the System light screen opened before his eyes.

He already had two bound goddesses, and the favorability of Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong was also gradually increasing.

Looking at the treasure chests he had accumulated in the System, Su Ling's eyes lit up. There were actually so many?

Remaining unopened treasure chests: white * 44, yellow * 26, purple * 2.

Most of these treasure chests came from Meng Yiran. If he had some more time to spend with her, perhaps he could reorganize Meng Yiran's favorability to exceed that of Zhuqing.

Two purple treasure chests!

Should he open one?

After thinking for a while, Su Ling decided to open the purple treasure chests.

After all, he could use the items opened from the purple treasure chests now; for example, the previously opened Immortal Herb Record, Five Elements Breathing Technique, and Carefree Travel were all usable.

Although black treasure chests were better, the accumulation time was too long. In such a long time, even if all the white treasure chests were converted into yellow treasure chests, it wouldn't be enough for a purple treasure chest.

The Douluo World was not safe either, so why not use everything he could to improve himself as much as possible? That was the key.

As for the black treasure chests, after the goddesses' favorability was reorganized to be high, he would naturally obtain them.

After figuring out this key point, Su Ling no longer hesitated and thought, "System, open these two purple treasure chests."

[Ding... Opened purple treasure chest * 2, congratulations to the host for obtaining Mental Concentration Technique Part 1 * 1, Supreme Antidote * 1 bottle (can cure ten thousand poisons)]

Cultivation Technique and Medicinal Pill?

An antidote? It seems the schedule to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can be brought forward; the antidote should be able to break the poison array.

What is the Mental Concentration Technique?

Taking it out from the System space, Su Ling flipped through a few pages and discovered its effect; this was actually a Cultivation method for enhancing Mental Energy.

In the Douluo Continent, Mental Energy is also not to be ignored. Above level 80, Mental Energy can materialize, and some Spirit Masters can even launch mental attacks.

For example, Xiao Wu's second Spirit Ability, Charm, is also a type of mental aspect.

The Mental Concentration Technique is very useful; the only regret is that the System only gave the first part and not the Complete Manual.
