196: Chapter 195 Dragon Badger and Dragon Fist
Indeed, this cannot be called the strongest yet, but a creature's physical resources have limits. Wanting every feature makes it difficult to blend them all together at once.
Different body structures, muscle distribution for exerting force, body weight, and so on are all key factors determining the strength of advantageous traits.
For example, the muscle distribution and various structures involved in the Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man's spring punch determine its destructive power when throwing a punch. Compared to the four arms of the Dragon-Badger Ant-men, it will lack flexibility.
Combining the two, wanting both, the conflict between muscle and structure will weaken the strength of both. Without optimization, it can indeed be used, but both power and flexibility will be inferior to before.
It is like pairing an assassin with a heavy class; strength might increase a bit, but mobility is lost.
Actually, there is a solution to this problem, which is to first create the strongest combination, and then use the extraordinary trait of Dissatisfied with Status Quo to learn and make corrections from various masters. Each master has their own strengths and weaknesses, eventually turning it into knowing a little bit of everything.
The offspring of the combination will slowly adjust their body structures to form the ultimate warrior.
But this requires a long time, and it also needs to be fine-tuned with Tang Wuying's skills.
For now, Tang Wuying's level of skill development cannot achieve this yet.
Gu Han could see that Tang Wuying was already observing the Dragonman's structure very carefully, and some things couldn't be rushed.
The Void Realm coordinates of the ripening service fluctuated, and the final form of the Dragon-Badger Titan stepped out from within.
Its massive ten-meter-tall body carried an extreme sense of oppression.
Its entire body burned with orange flames, and flamboyant dragon horns grew on top of its head. The strong and powerful wings behind it suddenly unfolded, stirring up a scorching gale.
Its four arms were robust and thick, with muscles bulging like rocks, and its dragon claws were sharp and fierce. Its entire body was covered with dense black dragon scales, while the shield-armor exoskeleton unique to the Ant-man Race transformed into heavy armor, distributed harmoniously across all parts of its body.
The thick dragon tail behind it flicked casually, and its whole body exuded an aura of tyrannical, pure destruction.
It might not be the strongest form right now, but this was definitely a terrifying combat power.
Although it currently looked only ten meters tall, if it reached the enemy's divine kingdom and was blessed by the Titan Race's extraordinary trait of Big is Truth, its size might directly break through a hundred meters.
"Not bad." Gu Han looked over this batch of new troops.
As soon as his voice fell, a sudden change occurred in the scene.
The hundred newly emerged Dragon-Badger Titans were standing rather neatly at first, but as a result, one of them accidentally spread its wings and bumped into the dragon horn of another nearby.
"Roar!"
The Dragon-Badger Titan that was bumped backhanded a slap straight at the other's forehead.
How could the other party endure this grievance? The Honey Badger's Bloodline awakened on the spot, and it let out a vengeful roar, its four arms directly greeting the offender.
This action seemed to ignite a powder keg.
The surrounding Dragon-Badger Titans were affected and instantly went into a frenzy. Without caring about anything else, they grabbed whoever was beside them and started brawling. A hundred behemoths instantly merged into a chaotic fight, with flames shooting into the sky and thunderous crashes resounding.
Tang Wuying was startled and took two steps back: "F*ck, this temper is way too explosive! They beat their own people this fiercely! This isn't my problem."
Gu Han hurriedly teleported the divine building inside the divine kingdom, [Must Fight Today], directly over to cover this area.
At the same time, a grand divine oracle descended.
"Fighting is fighting, don't deal fatal blows!"
With the suppression of the divine oracle and the guidance of the building's traits, this group of crazed Dragon-Badger Titans finally reined it in a bit, turning life-and-death struggles into flesh-pounding beatdowns.
The quantity was still not enough.
To attack the divine kingdom of a level-twelve deity, just these one hundred were not enough to look at.
Gu Han immediately gave the order for the ant queen to increase production efforts and hurry up with Reproduction. They had to accumulate over a million Dragon-Badger Titans, and before setting off, they needed to be fed plenty of potent medicine and study the battle techniques "Divine Demon Transformation" and "Star Shatterer".
He had Qu Nimade and Chang Sheng supervise and manage them.
But problems followed closely behind.
These guys had such fiery tempers that a slight crowding could turn things upside down. Even with the suppression of the divine oracle and the ant queen's orders, they would only stay quiet for a short while at most.
As long as someone accidentally affected another, or glanced at someone a little too much.
They could immediately start fighting again.
Gu Han supported his forehead with his hand, his head aching faintly. This made him involuntarily recall that group of Honey Badger Chickens on the heart-shaped lake island back then.
Fortunately, the Dragon-Badger Titans were intelligent extraordinary creatures. After the divine oracle was conveyed, they knew the limits and at least wouldn't truly deal fatal blows.
To clear up space for this group of warmongers, Gu Han spent a heavy sum directly, renting several spacious divine kingdoms with cores in one go.
He slowly transferred all the batches of ripened Dragon-Badger Titans over, managing them by diversion and giving them enough private space for them to cultivate in peace.
Looking at these untamed Dragon-Badger Titans, Gu Han calculated in his heart.
Having heavy infantry alone was not enough; once these guys got red-eyed from killing, they easily became disconnected. There had to be an assault force with high mobility and high explosive power to cooperate.
He called out to Tang Wuying, who was preparing to slip away and rest.
"Don't rush to leave; the work isn't done yet."
Tang Wuying's face turned green, but he didn't dare to voice a refusal.
"I need to prepare another batch of Dragon-Fist Titan Ant-men." Unmoved, Gu Han directly threw out his conception.
The original Ant-Fist Titans had extremely strong combat power, but they were essentially amphibious creatures and simply couldn't go to a fire-type divine kingdom full of magma. The moment they landed, they would probably turn red-hot on the spot.
Merging the body structure of the Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man with the Dragonman was no small difficulty.
Tang Wuying could only bite the bullet and begin high-intensity Bloodline Fusion and fine-tuning once again.
Days passed by, and who knows how many failures and reorganizations the inside of the divine kingdom experienced.
Under Tang Wuying's tireless improvements and Gu Han's pointing fingers, the final version of the Dragon-Fist Titan Ant-men was finally born.
Through the coordination of body structure, the new species retained the four-armed feature, and each arm could throw explosive punch speeds. Constrained by the compromise of bones and muscles, the punching power was only eighty percent of the Ant-Fist Titan's, but it retained its original flexibility.
However, their dragon claws evolved into heavy knuckle-like gauntlets that were extremely hard, meant to protect their fists.
The extraordinary traits of the Yanhuo Tribe were also integrated into their bodies. They not only adapted to high temperatures, but every punch also carried fire.
In appearance, they were not much different from the Dragon-Badger Titans, except that the exoskeleton armor on their bodies was not as heavy, traded for extremely swift reactions and wind-like agility in movement.
Inside the training ground's virtual coordinates, tens of thousands of Dragon-Fist Titans lined up neatly.
In front of them was a batch of veteran Ant-Fist Titans personally brought out by Wild King, acting as instructors.
A Dragon-Fist Titan lunged forward fiercely, its four arms turning into afterimages as it bombarded wildly.
The light of the Kuanglan runes flickered and overlapped between its arms.
Four punches were thrown, and the firelight burst. Immediately following, the second strike carried forty percent more power. Supported by its dragon-like robust physique, a single strike could produce the terrifying effect of eight punches landing simultaneously.
Continuous explosive fire fists pounded on the A-grade divine building [Dummy Stake], causing the dummy to tremble repeatedly and its surface to glow faintly red.
They carefully studied the stone carvings left behind by Wild King back then, throwing punches ruthlessly and cunningly. More importantly, the Dragonman genes made the already robust bodies of the Ant-man Race even stronger, allowing them to last longer and completely fearless of the terrifying high temperatures generated by continuously throwing punches.
Looking at the grand scene on the training ground, Gu Han felt much more at ease in his heart.
The Dragon-Badger Titans were responsible for frontal resistance and leveling, while the Dragon-Fist Titans were responsible for flank assaults and pinpoint demolition.
The million-strong Titan-grade army was preparing methodically, and it was estimated to take a few more years.
He had also contacted his old man Gu Yanxiao in advance, and he could make time to enter the divine kingdom tonight.
Tang Wuying collapsed on the ground in a sprawling shape, lacking even the strength to move a single finger, and muttered in his mouth: "I can't take it anymore... Who are you going to fight again? ... Is this preparation for catching the white-haired one?"
Gu Han glanced at him: "Ask less, go back and rest if you're tired."
"The white-haired one isn't anything special either, all show and no substance. Without using his skills, our place is already full of divine medicines everywhere."
