Dark Gold Dreadclaw
Chen Jianshu his hand, and the five mirror images of Gu Yue in front of him vanished. The real Gu Yue looked at his disappeared self and felt strange.
Ultimately, both of them focused their attention on the External Soul Bone dropped by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Gu Yue turned to look at the other person; for humans, Soul Bones were priceless treasures.
Therefore, these humans will commit acts of murder, even among close relatives; husbands and wives, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters will fight over it.
She wanted to see if Chen Jianshu would show that greedy expression, but to her surprise, he didn't.
"This is the right palm bone of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. It's extremely precious. Would you like to absorb it while it's still warm?"
She assumed the other person didn't understand that this was External Soul Bone, so she immediately explained it to them and then asked if they wanted to absorb it.
"Absorb? No need, it's unnecessary. I can just copy it."
He had no intention of absorbing any Soul Bones, since absorbing External Soul Bone would feel strange, like having an extra bone in his body.
Moreover, he didn't need to absorb it. Chen Jianshu simply raised his hand and flipped it, causing an air card Martial Soul to appear. He then flung it out, and the card slammed into the right palm bone of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw.
In an instant, the card burst forth with purple light, then flew back. The card in Chen Jianshu's hand was no longer a blank card, but a purple Noble Phantasm Card.
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw's Noble Phantasm effect is very straightforward, boasting maximum attack power and also inflicting a crippling effect.
After finishing all this, Chen Jianshu put away the cards and continued walking deeper into the Spirit Ascension Platform. Gu Yue immediately followed, asking questions out of curiosity.
"You can even copy Soul Bones?"
"Almost there, want to give it a try?"
How do I try it?
She also felt a strong curiosity about the endless stream of human abilities. After all, other people's Martial Souls were very monotonous, but Chen Jianshu's Martial Soul was very strange, so it was natural to be curious.
Under her gaze, she saw the other person press the purple- Dark Gold Dreadclaw card onto their head. As the card merged with their body, Gu Yue felt as if something had appeared on her right hand.
With a thought, five golden claws shot out— the Dark Gold Dreadclaw. Gu Yue examined the claws extending from her hand and pressed on with another question:
"Can this only be copied once?"
"Yes, the Noble Phantasm that can be analyzed and copied can only be copied once, but there is no limit to the number of Projections it can create."
Chen Jianshu snapped his fingers, and ten claws gleaming with dark golden light appeared around him. Although they were not as sharp as the Dark Gold Dreadclaw in his hand, they had the advantage of sheer number.
"A miraculous Martial Soul."
Upon seeing this, Gu Yue couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, never expecting that human Martial Soul had developed to such an extent.
"It's alright, it's still under development."
With a thought, Chen Jianshu caused the golden claw on Gu Yue's right hand to disappear, and then a purple card flew back and landed in his hand before being retrieved.
The two continued deeper into the area, soon crossing the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform and entering the area where the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform was located.
The Soul Beasts on the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform are scattered, because powerful Soul Beasts will mark out their territories, so they basically appear alone.
However... the Soul Beasts that appear afterward will be very difficult to deal with. With a roar, a Demon Tiger with five thousand years of cultivation blocked their path.
"How can it be so strong again? Isn't this just Primary Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Upon seeing the formidable enemy, Gu Yue immediately deflated. She remembered entering the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform; how come all the enemies she encountered were so strong? Was this really the case?
"It's you I've chosen! Go, Gu Yue!"
Just as she was speechless, Chen Jianshu suddenly shouted, and then three Mirror Image Clones of Gu Yue appeared, with countless fireballs flying and bombarding the Demon Tiger.
"You think I'm some kind of Soul Spirit servant?!"
When Gu Yue saw herself being used as Soul Spirit summoner by the other party, she couldn't hold back anymore. She had this strange feeling that she had become the other party's Soul Spirit and was being commanded in battle—it was really weird...
Several fireballs and flame storms crashed down, a barrage of firepower aimed at suppressing the enemy. However, the attack was barely scratching the surface, and the Demon Tiger only suffered minor injuries.
"That's a good gua sha treatment... Gu Yue, you should practice this."
"What?! If you dislike me so much, then don't use it!"
Seeing that the other party dared to look down on her, Gu Yue blushed instantly. "Fine, fine, you'll use me if you want, but you even complain that my attack power is too weak? Believe me, I'll just unleash my power and suppress you!"
"OK."
Upon hearing this suggestion, he immediately adopted it. The original three Gu Yue Mirror Image Clone vanished instantly, and a girl wearing a white school uniform skirt, with long, wavy red hair and blue eyes appeared.
The girl was about the same height as Chen Jianshu, but her figure completely overwhelmed Gu Yue, who was only an A-rank at the time. The most eye-catching thing was the black Cat Ears on her head.
It was the Wu Siduo Character Card, and at the same time, Chen Jianshu also equipped the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear on the other party. Gu Yue stared blankly at the girl in front of her.
Three purple Soul Rings surrounded the opponent, and he unleashed a golden, Dark Gold Dreadclaw from his right hand to pounce.
The Demon Tiger, its fur slightly burnt, saw the approaching girl and immediately pounced, only to be nimbly dodged, missing its target entirely.
Immediately afterward, the golden claws pierced through the Demon Tiger's neck, blood splattered, and a large amount of crimson gushed out. The girl quickly retreated to create distance.
The Demon Tiger seemed to have been driven mad and launched a desperate counterattack, but it was no match for Wu Siduo and eventually bled to death.
"Indeed, Duoduo is much better than Gu Yue."
Chen Jianshu gave a thumbs-up in agreement, while Gu Yue blushed again, kicked the other person, and cursed angrily.
Say that again!
"Ahem, don't be angry, but you're really not suited for fighting opponents of a higher level."
Chen Jianshu put away Wu Siduo's character card. According to Beng Tie's classification, Gu Yue should belong to the Erudition. She is weak against single targets, but can easily defeat groups.
Furthermore, Wu Siduo has the Dark Gold Dreadclaw enhancement, while Gu Yue has no equipment enhancement. Is it a joke to compare an Erudition to the Hunt in a one-on-one fight?
"I wasn't serious then! If I were serious, I could kill this little tiger however I wanted!"
Gu Yue, obsessed with saving face, tried to salvage the situation. As the mighty Silver Dragon King, she had never been inferior to anyone in her life. Now, having suffered setbacks at the hands of Chen Jianshu and Na'er multiple times, she was preparing to use her power to her advantage once more.
Since both Chen Jianshu and Na'er are using cheat codes, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to use one too, right?
"Oh, then I'll leave the next Soul Beast to you."
Seeing that Gu Yue was just talking big, he said he would hand over the next Soul Beast to him. Since the Silver Dragon King, who was full of confidence, had already bragged about it, he had no choice but to go for it.
"I'll go ahead then, and show you my true strength!"
She stood with her arms crossed, exuding an invincible aura, seemingly unbeatable no matter the enemy she faced, until a Mighty Baboon appeared before her, at which point she fell silent.
