Golden Dragon Fist

Golden Dragon Fist

Ferros glanced in Grandmaster's direction. Seeing that he did not seem to have noticed what was happening here, he lightly flicked the tip of his sword and swiftly stored the soul bone in his Soul Tool.

The sky gradually brightened, yet Tang San and Lu Yuan were still absorbing their soul rings!

Ferros and Grandmaster had each kept watch over them throughout the night!

Morning dew dampened the clothes of all four of them, while a red sun had quietly risen into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon again. By then, Tang San had long since finished absorbing his soul ring, and the three of them sat not far from Lu Yuan, standing guard over him.

"Was Xiao Yuan absorbing the soul ring of that Sky-Supporting Demon Ape?" Tang San asked curiously.

"Yes." Grandmaster nodded. "That Sky-Supporting Demon Ape was nearly nine hundred years old. Judging by Xiao Yuan's condition, he should be almost finished absorbing it. The Golden Dragon truly is an incredible Martial Soul!"

Tang San remained silent!

Ferros paid no attention to their conversation, his eyes fixed tightly on Lu Yuan!

Within Lu Yuan's sea of consciousness, the golden giant dragon remained as enormous as ever. However, the Sky-Supporting Demon Ape that had been roaring toward the heavens had already shrunk considerably and no longer had the strength to fight back against the dragon's attacks.

"Roar!" The golden giant dragon let out a thunderous roar toward the sky, its dragon cry ringing without end. Its golden wings beat, and it opened its massive maw, swallowing the Sky-Supporting Demon Ape whole. At the same time, Lu Yuan's tightly shut eyes suddenly flew open!

As his eyes opened, his black pupils became radiant gold. His once gentle gaze turned cold, and every blink of his golden eyes revealed an aura of nobility!

"Roar!" Lu Yuan threw back his head and roared. Dragon cries rang out continuously as the pressure of the Golden Dragon spread outward, throwing the Soul Beasts of the Soul Hunting Forest into a frenzy.

After roaring wildly at the sky for a while, the pent-up frustration in his heart finally dissipated. Lu Yuan stretched lazily, and the gold in his eyes gradually faded.

"Xiao Yuan, how do you feel?" Ferros hurriedly asked.

A smile curled across Lu Yuan's lips. "I feel great. My physical strength has increased by at least more than double, and both my power and defense have risen tremendously."

"The Sky-Supporting Demon Ape excels in power and defense to begin with, so an all-around improvement in physical abilities was expected. I wonder, what is your first soul skill?" Grandmaster asked.

Lu Yuan smiled. "My first soul skill is called Golden Dragon Fist. It increases power by one hundred percent, and speed and defense by fifty percent. Moreover, as my level rises, every ten levels will increase power by another ten percent, and speed and defense by another five percent!"

"Doesn't that mean that once you reach the level of a Titled Douluo, your first soul skill alone will triple your power and double your speed and defense?" Grandmaster was stunned.

"That's right." Lu Yuan nodded. Though Golden Dragon Fist was an offensive skill, it could also increase speed and defense. Aside from the Golden Dragon Martial Soul's own strength, that was also due to the Sky-Supporting Demon Ape.

As a top-tier Soul Beast second only to super Soul Beasts, the Sky-Supporting Demon Ape stood just beneath Soul Beasts such as the Titan Giant Ape and Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear, those at the pinnacle of the Soul Beast hierarchy.

Grandmaster was somewhat shocked. Golden Dragon Fist was clearly an offensive soul skill, yet it also possessed the effects of a buff-type soul skill. He had never heard of anything like it. Was the Golden Dragon really that powerful?

"Can you let me see its effect?" Grandmaster steadied himself and asked.

"Sure!"

"Golden Dragon, Avatar!" Golden scales crept up the sides of Lu Yuan's face, while the muscles in his arms suddenly swelled. Diamond-shaped dragon scales covered both of his arms.

A yellow soul ring streaked with hints of purple floated around Lu Yuan's body!

After finding a large tree more than ten meters tall, Lu Yuan raised his right arm. "First soul skill, Golden Dragon Fist!"

A golden dragon head emerged around his small fist, and Lu Yuan slammed it into the tree trunk!

"Bang!"

His fist struck the tree with a deafening crash, sending wood chips flying everywhere!

"Crack!" The towering tree, more than ten meters high, crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

"This!" Grandmaster stepped forward and carefully examined the broken section of trunk on the ground. A clear fist mark was visible on it!

Under that single punch, every grain within the trunk had shattered. The entire trunk had broken into tiny fragments of wood. One could only imagine the terrifying force contained in that punch.

Grandmaster sucked in a cold breath. "Judging by how thoroughly the trunk was pulverized, that punch carried at least five thousand jin of force!"

What did five thousand jin mean? If such force struck a human body, it could instantly render a non-defense-type Soul Elder unable to fight. Someone with a weaker constitution might even die on the spot.

Of course, that did not mean Lu Yuan could defeat a Soul Elder now. If he truly encountered one, they would not foolishly stand still and let him hit them.

It could only be said that Lu Yuan possessed the ability to severely injure a Soul Elder. Having attack power capable of harming a Soul Elder while still in the Soul Master realm was already extraordinarily rare.

Before gaining a soul ring, with the Golden Dragon Martial Soul's enhancement, Lu Yuan could at most throw a punch with around two thousand jin of force. But after obtaining his first soul ring, his physical abilities had improved drastically. With Golden Dragon Fist's enhancement, he had already surpassed the five-thousand-jin threshold.

Tang San could not help narrowing his eyes. Honestly speaking, could he withstand that kind of force if it struck him? The answer was no!

Although Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls, even the Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer combined could not compare to the Golden Dragon in terms of enhancing physical abilities. If Tang San wanted to surpass Lu Yuan in the future, there was no possibility unless he fully equipped both Martial Souls with soul rings.

"Not bad!" Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. The rewards brought by the Sky-Supporting Demon Ape's soul ring were indeed plentiful. With his current strength, he was invincible within the Soul Master realm!

That was the confidence he possessed!

That was the power of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul of Ultimate Power!

Grandmaster turned his gaze toward Lu Yuan. "Not bad. It seems the Sky-Supporting Demon Ape's soul ring has brought you enormous benefits. I imagine your Soul Power should be above level eleven now as well!"

"After absorbing the Sky-Supporting Demon Ape's soul ring, my Soul Power rose significantly. It should be around level fourteen now," Lu Yuan said.

Considering the power contained within the Sky-Supporting Demon Ape's soul ring, it was not strange at all for Lu Yuan's Soul Power to jump three levels!

Seeing Lu Yuan's powerful soul skill, Ferros felt deeply satisfied. The more outstanding Lu Yuan was, the happier he felt. He immediately smiled. "Since both of you have finished absorbing your soul rings, it's time for us to return to the academy!"

"Yes, it is time to head back," Grandmaster agreed.

Naturally, Lu Yuan and Tang San had no objections. After packing their things, they followed the two of them back to the academy.
