Chapter 20: Rock Armor
Chapter 20: Rock Armor
Before they knew it, they had been in the Star Dou Great Forest for a week. During this time, they encountered many soul beasts suitable for Su Li, but they were all rejected by Chen Xin.
Chen Xin said that since he had come along, he must get the best soul beast for Su Li, otherwise he didn't know how he would be laughed at by Old Bone when he returned.
"Grandpa Jian, how long are we going to stay in this forest? I want to go home."
Different from the beginning when she was full of curiosity about everything around her, Ning Rongrong no longer had her usual cheerfulness. Even though she was eating a lollipop and being held by Su Li, there was still some unhappiness on her little face.
"Rongrong, hold on for a while longer. Maybe you'll run into the soul beast that Grandpa Jian mentioned."
After comforting Ning Rongrong, Su Li squatted down and motioned for Ning Rongrong to come up.
"How about I carry you for a while?"
"Okay." After saying that, Ning Rongrong quickly lay on Su Li's back, her slender arms wrapped around Su Li's neck, and the unhappiness on her face disappeared instantly. "Su Li is still the best."
The little head couldn't help but rubbed Su Li's face, smiling foolishly, and took out the lollipop in its mouth with its little hand and pointed it in front of Su Li.
Shaking his head helplessly, Su Li lifted Ning Rongrong's slightly fleshy calves with both hands, carried her on his back and walked slowly behind Chen Xin.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chen Xin, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and spoke excitedly to the two people behind him.
"Xiao Su, your spirit ring has been found! The Rock Armored Dragon Lizard is a spirit beast with dragon blood. Judging from the rock armor on its body, it can be judged that it is a spirit beast over 400 years old. It is just right for your spirit ring!"
Rock Armored Dragon Lizard, a soul beast with dragon blood, will have a piece of rock armor on its body every two hundred years. As the age increases, the defense of the armor becomes stronger. The Rock Armored Dragon Lizard in front of Chen Xin already has two pieces of rock armor, one on its shoulders. Judging from the rock armor on the right shoulder that has not yet been cut off, this Rock Armored Dragon Lizard is no more than 450 years old! It is perfect for Su Li.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin looked at it with eyes full of heat. The Rock Armored Dragon Lizard, which was still sleeping, was obviously unaware of the impending danger. When it realized it, an old man in white had appeared in front of it.
Chen Xin flashed in front of the old rock-armored dragon lizard and without saying a word, he cut off the limbs of the rock-armored dragon lizard with a sharp sword and kicked the dragon lizard to Su Li's side.
"Xiao Su, your spirit ring is here!"
Chen Xin's voice was heard first, and then a huge monster suddenly flew from the sky and hit heavily on a tree not far from Su Li.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the trees around Su Li fell down one after another, stirring up thick smoke. As the dust flew into Su Li's nostrils, Su Li couldn't help sneezing, and then quickly left the place carrying Ning Rongrong on his back.
As the smoke cleared, a khaki-colored lizard with dense scales all over its body and many barbs on its head was revealed. Its limbs were cut off and it kept howling in pain. Its instinct for survival made it keep shaking its tail, trying to escape from this place.
"Xiao Su, go ahead and kill it to get its soul ring." Looking at the still struggling Rock Armored Dragon Lizard, Chen Xin couldn't help but snorted coldly, then said to Su Li.
"Okay, Grandpa Jian."
Su Li summoned the West Wind Great Sword and quickly walked towards the Rock Armored Dragon Lizard, holding up his martial spirit. With the blessing of soul power, Su Li chopped off the head of the Rock Armored Dragon Lizard with one sword. As the head moved, the Rock Armored Dragon Lizard died quickly, and a circle of yellow soul rings floated out of its body.
Watching the yellow soul ring fly out of the Rock Armored Dragon Lizard, Su Li immediately stabbed the West Wind Great Sword into the ground and sat in meditation. With the pull of soul power, the soul ring came to the top of the West Wind Great Sword and turned into a larger light circle to trap it. Then, a violent energy exploded in Su Li's body.
At this moment, Su Li felt as if he was being burned by fire. He was in excruciating pain and his body couldn't stop shaking from the pain.
"Ding, the host is found to be absorbing spirit rings. Would you like to start the system challenge? If the challenge is successful, the age of all spirit rings will increase by 500 years."
At this moment, the voice of the system suddenly came into Su Li's mind.
"What challenge?"
Su Li asked silently while enduring the pain.
"Ding, will challenge mission. During the period when the host absorbs the spirit ring, the host will have to endure ten times the pain until the host successfully absorbs it. The mission rewards the host's spirit rings by increasing their age by 500 years. There is no penalty for failing the challenge."
"System, do all the spirit rings you mentioned include future ones?"
"Ding, when the host obtains a spirit ring in the future, the age will automatically increase by 500 years."
"Heh, I thought you wouldn't talk except for issuing tasks, so the soul ring age is increased by 500 years? That's really attractive. It's just ten times the pain. Just bear with it and it will pass."
After thinking about it in his mind, Su Li decided to challenge the system task.
"Ding, the challenge begins. Host, please successfully absorb the spirit ring without fainting."
As the system finished speaking, Su Li instantly felt as if all parts of his body were being bitten by tens of thousands of ants at the same time. At the same time, Su Li also felt that he was between fire and ice, with the surface of his body being baked by the flames, and his body enduring a coldness that made even his soul tremble.
"what!"
Su Li couldn't hold back any more in the agony, and wailed at the top of his lungs! Beads of sweat kept pouring down his body, and veins all over his body bulged, as if they were about to burst at any moment.
Hearing Su Li's horrifying screams, Ning Rongrong burst into tears in anxiety. If Chen Xin hadn't held her back, Ning Rongrong would have run to Su Li's side.
At this time, Chen Xin was looking at Su Li with a worried look on his face, silently praying for his disciple in his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Li's wailing gradually stopped. He looked at Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong with difficulty, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Xiao Su!" "Su Li!"
Seeing Su Li fainted, the two of them hurried to Su Li and looked at him worriedly.
Chen Xin picked up Su Li, then held Rongrong in his arms and ran quickly in the Xingdou Great Forest.
Soon, several people came to a nearby clinic. After finding the doctor there, they hurriedly handed Su Li to the doctor.
After a series of examinations, the doctor confirmed that Su Li was fine. Chen Xin finally felt relieved. Ning Rongrong, who was beside him, ran directly to Su Li's side and waited quietly.
After a long time, Su Li slowly opened his eyes, and what came into his sight was Ning Rongrong's slightly red and swollen eyes.
He raised his hand with heartache and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ning Rongrong's eyes.
Seeing Su Li waking up, Ning Rongrong hurriedly grabbed Su Li's hand and put it against her face, as if the other person would run away if she let go.
"Su Li, Su Li, you know, I'm so scared, I'm so scared!"
Feeling the warmth on her face, Ning Rongrong could no longer control herself and burst into tears, talking non-stop.
"Rongrong, don't cry. I haven't even married you yet, how could I abandon you first?"
He raised his other hand and gently stroked Ning Rongrong's hair, as if to comfort her.
Not long after, Ning Rongrong gradually calmed down.
Outside the house, Chen Xin heard the noise and walked in. Seeing Su Li comforting Ning Rongrong, he did not disturb her. He waited until Ning Rongrong calmed down completely before coming to Su Li and asking about his situation.
"Xiao Su, what happened to you before? Why did you act so painful?"
"Grandpa Jian, I'm sorry to have worried you and Rongrong. When I was absorbing the martial spirit, the soul of the Rock Armored Dragon Lizard entered my sea of consciousness. Although I tried my best to suppress it, it seemed to have awakened the blood of the dragon clan in the end. That's why I felt so painful when absorbing the spirit ring. Fortunately, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The age of my spirit ring has become a 900-year spirit ring."
Su Li replied, making up a lie.
"You suddenly awakened your dragon bloodline? I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky." Chen Xin thought of something and asked hurriedly. "What is your first soul skill?"
"My first soul skill is Rock Armor, which can obtain a shield of 220% of my total soul power. When facing soul skills, it will also gain an additional 100% absorption bonus. The duration depends on the soul power injected. The minimum is ten seconds, and there is no upper limit."
"S!"
Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but take a breath!
What does it mean to have 220% of your total soul power! That means no one in the same class can break Su Li's shield, and even those with a higher level than Su Li may not be able to break it easily! And this is also a growth soul skill! The later Su Li's shield is, the thicker it will be. As long as Su Li wants, no one can hurt him!
"Then are there any limitations to your spirit skill? For example, if your shield is forcibly broken, you will suffer backlash?"
"No, Grandpa Jian, this spirit skill has no backlash. If I want, I can even use it once a second. But the shields cannot be stacked. Only one can exist at the same time."
Su Li said this with some dissatisfaction, as if he had lost hundreds of billions.
Seeing this, Chen became furious and slapped him.
"You little brat, just be content with yourself for having this soul skill. It's good enough that such a powerful soul skill has no backlash, but you still don't know how to be content."
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Jian, I shouldn't be ungrateful."
On the surface, Su Li looked submissive, but secretly, Su Li was thinking about something. According to the skills of the original maid, I should have obtained a castrated version of the elemental combat skills. The rock element shield has become a soul shield, and the extra absorption of the rock element has also become an extra absorption of soul skills. If there is no treatment, the two skills are exactly the same, so will the maid's healing ability also appear in one of my soul skills in the future? Forget it, forget it for now, and talk about the future later.
