After using Shadow Clone to confirm safety.

Without further hesitation, Tang Zheng, in his Gold Dragon Lord form covered by "Body Armament," flew towards the void where the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's avatar had fallen.

Whoosh!

The red streak of light sped by.

A strong gust of air swept away the faint smoke and dust around the cavity, making it disappear completely.

The headless corpse of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord came into view.

The Obsidian- like, sturdy scales emitted a faint, pale black light, their hard metallic texture gleaming.

Looking at the enormous dragon, which was almost a full size larger than him, Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Judging solely from appearance.

It's really hard to tell that this is actually a fake Dragon Lords.

"No wonder the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord immediately showed great interest in me after he thought the Soul of the Heroic Spirit was Golem."

A thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.

His Soul of the Heroic Spirit is quite powerful, and the combat strength displayed by this Golem completely overwhelms the Soul of the Heroic Spirit, suggesting its level is likely around 80Lv.

Additionally, Wild Magic can be used.

This reminded Tang Zheng of the Platinum Dragon Lord's "Platinum Armor".

"Another Player legacy?"

Tang Zheng's feelings toward these True Dragon Lord grew increasingly solemn.

Over hundreds of years, who knows how many Player ' legacies these True Dragon Lord possess? These must all be considered part of their combat power.

The thought raced through my mind!

While Tang Zheng was thinking, his movements were not slow at all. He quickly raised his strong and powerful dragon claw and pressed it down towards the avatar of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord.

When!

The sharp fingertips touched the black scales, sparks flew, and a crisp metallic clang rang out.

Nothing happened!

Tang Zheng's pupils narrowed slightly; this was the last thing he wanted.

"Since this avatar of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord can use Wild Magic, it must have been enhanced by Wild Magic."

"Even if the profession can't be triggered, nothing should still happen." Tang Zheng knew that if the current situation didn't work, the only option was to retreat quickly.

The True Dragon Lord's strength is comparable to that of a level 100 Player possesses World Item, Deep Darkness Dragon Lord even possesses the World Item "Twenty".

You defeated the opponent's clone.

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord must have been provoked and put on high alert; his next move is difficult to predict.

However, what has happened so far!

At least it caused a change in the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's attitude towards the "future Dragon Race Destruction," so for Tang Zheng, this contact was not in vain.

Looking at the enormous Grey Mother before him.

Tang Zheng was somewhat unwilling to give up, so he moved his arm to touch other parts of his body and continued to try.

He actually wanted to take this Golem with him!

But it's not very meaningful. The Golem has been completely damaged by his attack, and Tang Zheng simply doesn't have the means to repair Golem.

If I remember correctly,

In the Great Tomb of Nazarick, there is a Player named Luci★Fer who has Class Construction with the special class "Golem Master".

The other party possesses the technology to enhance, create, and control Golem. For example, the 72 stone statues in the Great Tomb Nazarick, which are mainly composed of Demon, were made by the other party using the ultra-rare metal, the Seven-Colored Ore.

Although only 67 were ultimately built due to various reasons, none of them were lower than level 80.

after all.

Even the cockroach-type Golem ridden by the Fear has a strength of level 70.

The damaged avatar of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord before him was beyond repair; to Tang Zheng, it was like an immovable rock.

and.

Tang Zheng couldn't be sure if this Golem clone contained any other hidden tricks from the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord. Even if it could be repaired, there was a high probability that the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord would recognize it if it were used later.

Taking it away had little significance for Tang Zheng.

It would be more convenient and promising for him to research techniques for summoning high-level monsters.

Buzz--

Just as Tang Zheng moved his arm, trying to change the point of contact, the Attribute Panel suddenly vibrated.

"Special Class ' Dragonic Overlord ' discovered, requires Racial Class specific to the Dragon Race race, current conditions not met... Unable to trigger."

"Ding, you already possess this profession."

Tang Zheng suddenly paused and let out a soft breath.

It failed...

This isn't the career I wanted!

Although activating a profession through touch worked as I had predicted, it ultimately failed.

"As expected, the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord undertook a primal modification on this Golem, using it as some kind of weapon."

Tang Zheng's anticipation completely vanished, and he sighed inwardly.

Based on his previous research, weapons and equipment used by the original profession have a certain probability of triggering the profession after being touched for a certain period of time.

But one item can only unlock one profession!

"That's enough."

"This harvest is enough." Tang Zheng raised his arm, preparing to leave.

However.

When the sharp fingertips traced the back of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's clone,

Buzz--!

"High-tier Class [Dragon Warrior] discovered, requires Dragon Race Racial Class, current requirements not met..."

"[Dragonic Overlord] triggered," "Gold Dragon Lord's Heart" triggered

Do you Job Advancement this position?

"No." Tang Zheng raised his eyelids, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

It can actually trigger a second profession?

What exactly happened?!

A look of disbelief flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes, a hint of incomprehension, but his eyes also revealed a touch of excitement.

I don't know why this is happening.

But now is not the time to think about this!

Tang Zheng quickly moved his arm, rapidly making contact with other areas.

As for [Dragon Warrior]?

Tang Zheng had no intention of Job Advancement, even though it was a High-tier Class and one that enhanced the strength of Warrior.

Tang Zheng only needs one profession: [World Connector]!

He is not a true Dragon Race; acquiring Wild Magic is his true goal, and he already possesses the titles of [Dragonic Overlord] and [Primordial Chanter].

All that's needed is to acquire the [World Connector] to complete the closed loop of the Wild Magic power.

Even professions like [Soul Blasphemer] and [Soul Adorer], which are equally challenging, held no appeal for Tang Zheng.

Soon!

As Tang Zheng continued to touch different locations, he discovered that different professions would be triggered accordingly.

for example.

Touching the abdomen will trigger the [Dragonic Overlord] class, the back will trigger [Dragon Warrior], and the neck will trigger [Primordial Chanter].

This made Tang Zheng think to himself, "If only I had directly confronted the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's avatar back then."

Of course, this is obviously unrealistic.

Without the "Gold Dragon Lord's Heart," he wouldn't have obtained Dragon Race's profession, nor would he have even considered Wild Magic.

Still nothing?

A hint of urgency appeared in Tang Zheng's eyes; he had already wasted a lot of time here.

The use of a class skill to instantly defeat the Golem Clone alerted the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord to the danger, making him hesitant to act rashly.

But how long can this situation last?

Continue touching more areas, such as the limbs, tail, etc.

Tang Zheng further discovered that there were many locations that, no matter how he touched them, could not activate any professions, which clarified his inner doubts.

"No wonder Golem Clone, modified by Wild Magic, could trigger multiple classes!"

Tang Zheng stared intently at the Obsidian- like, sturdy scales covering Golem's entire body, a look of understanding appearing on his face:

"Fourfold Slash of Light - Break Through!"

Boom!

The sharp dragon claws blurred into afterimages, condensing into a terrifying cold light in mid-air, instantly striking the gap between two scales.

A blinding spark rang out!

A black scale the size of a washbasin flew out and landed in Tang Zheng's palm.

"So that's how it is! These scales are all real!"

In "YGGDRASIL", there is a type of premium item called "Avatar" called Golem, which can be customized to create the appearance required by the user.

Tang Zheng originally thought that the Golem Clone in front of him was a similar item, which had been enhanced by the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's technology.

But the current situation is clearly not like that!

The scales on the surface of Golem Clone are not a single piece, but rather all come from the dragon scales on the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord himself.

"Different locations can trigger different professions... Ha."

Tang Zheng grinned, somewhat admiring the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's act of plucking his own scales and attaching them to Golem.

"This is because the dragon scales from different regions were likely installed at different times, which resulted in this unusual situation."

For example, the scales on the back and abdomen may take several years, or even decades, to cover each other.

I thought of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord, and the scene when he plucked out his own dragon scales.

That's ruthless!

As for why Healing Magic wasn't used...

Bone Lord and others had already experimented with this; for example, after chopping off a finger, using Healing Magic to heal the regrowth finger would result in a finger that had just been chopped off.

This is why Demiurge built ranches to raise large numbers of humans for skinning, and then repeated the process once the humans' injuries had healed naturally.

Tang Zheng's eye twitched as he looked at the empty space where Golem Clone's head was. "Could we be that unlucky?"

He had touched the entire body of the Golem clone, but still hadn't triggered the [World Connector] class.

If there's still one spot that hasn't been touched.

That leaves only the dragon head part that Tang Zheng burned.

Tang Zheng stared at the dragon's neck, which was now only half intact, and an indescribable emotion welled up inside him:

"Wipe...!"

kindness?

A faint, deeper black light flickered, originating from a spot where the dragon's neck connected to its torso.

Reverse scale!

Similar to the spot on a snake's seven-inch mark!

With a sudden swing of his arm, he slammed it into the abdomen of Golem Clone.

Boom!

With a loud bang.

The immense force flipped Golem Clone, which was stuck in the mud in the pit, onto its side, its entire abdomen facing upwards.

Look at the Achilles' heel.

This is a scale that is a deeper black than the surrounding dragon scales, and the entire scale is also placed differently; it is an upside-down scale.

Tang Zheng was able to notice it immediately because, after transforming into the Dragon Lords, he also possessed the weakness of a "reverse scale".

A flash of red light!

Tang Zheng's arm swiftly touched that unique and unconventional "reverse scale."

Buzz--

The Attribute Panel vibrated again.

"Special Class [World Connector] discovered. This profession requires..."

"Career analysis in progress!"

"World-Class Class... original profession..."

"Career analysis in progress!"

"Requires a prerequisite profession/ Special Class: [Dragonic Overlord]"

"Required Prerequisite Occupation/ Special Class: [Primordial Chanter]"

"Ding! Prerequisites met. Do you wish to Job Advancement?"

Tang Zheng opened his towering jaw, revealing a row of sharp, sturdy teeth characteristic of the Dragon Race, his excitement and exhilaration barely contained.

"After the darkest hour comes the dawn!"

This is Tang Zheng's true emotion at this moment.

"Job Advancement!"

Tang Zheng let out a shout in his heart.

Successfully Job Advancement!

"World Perception Cognition": Enhancing the ability to perceive the world allows for a clearer understanding of the world and its changes.

"Wild Magic - True": Mobilizes the primordial energy of the soul to infuse high-level Wild Magic with a "World-Class Protection" effect.

(PS: The "Primordial Majesty" of the [Primordial Chanter] is different; it can be understood as a difference in the addition of attack and defense. For example, the Platinum Armor created by the Platinum Dragon Lord has the ability of "World Protection".)

"Soul River Amplification": Increases the damage of all Primal Magic by 20%, has a certain chance to trigger "World Resonance", doubling the area of effect of the magic, and adds 30 SE points for each level.

(For each level gained in this profession, all attributes increase by 20 points.)

Introduction: The world...???

Upon seeing that he had successfully Job Advancement, Tang Zheng didn't have time to examine the job details before quickly extending his dragon claws and pressing them onto Golem Clone.

"Absorb!"

Tang Zheng would naturally not give up the opportunity to absorb these real scales.
