[Destruction] Dark-Gold Dreadclaw, Xiao Tang, I'm Taking Your Fortuitous Opportunity!
"I'm too tired, you go ahead."
Bai Yuan took two steps back, leaned against a large tree, and looked at Gu Yuena with a smile.
"Go for it, Gu Xiaoyue!"
Gu Yuena's temple throbbed.
She knew it; this jerk was unreliable.
What "Your task is complete," what "Go find the Spirit Ascension Platform Guardian"?
You make it sound like you're so righteous.
When he finally got to the person in question, he leaned against a tree and dumped the mess on her.
What did you call me?
Gu Yuena's voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth.
"Gu Xiaoyue."
Bai Yuan tilted his head.
How welcoming!
Gu Yuena took a deep breath and decided to let it go for the time being.
Because the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear had already spotted her.
A dark golden mountain of flesh, over three meters tall, dragging its giant claws over a meter long, was striding toward her.
Each step sent a tremor through the ground, and his dark golden fur gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen in the sunlight.
Its mouth still held the drool that had dripped from when it was provoked by Bai Yuan.
Those small, ferocious eyes were fixed on Gu Yuena, as if assessing whether the little one was even enough to fill a tooth gap.
"Roar--!!!"
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear let out a deafening roar, the sound waves carrying a stench that swept over us.
Standing upright, it exceeds four meters in height, blocking out the sky and the sun.
The pair of dark golden claws were raised high.
The claw blades gleamed with a chilling sharpness in the sunlight.
Then he swung the sword down fiercely at Gu Yuena, the force tearing through the air and producing a sharp whistling sound.
Gu Yuena didn't move.
She stood there, her long silver hair billowing backward in the gale whipped up by the claws.
The purple pupils reflected the pair of dark gold blades that were drawing ever closer.
He didn't even blink.
Until the claw blades were less than half a meter from the top of her head.
She moved.
She raised her right hand, fingers spread, and pressed it towards the giant bear, which was twice her height.
Fire, ice, wind, earth, light, and darkness—six Elemental Light exploded simultaneously in her palm.
It transformed into a beam of light and slammed into the chest of the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
"Boom--!!!"
The sound wasn't the roar of a bear, but the roar of an elemental explosion.
The three-meter-tall, dark golden mountain of flesh seemed to have been struck head-on by a high-speed Soul Guidance Train, its massive body soaring into the air.
It flew backwards, crashing into and breaking three large trees.
They plowed a long furrow into the soil before finally stopping.
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear lay amidst the ruins, its dark gold fur on its chest charred black and faintly emitting wisps of smoke.
It shook its enormous head, got up from the ground, and its small eyes were full of confusion.
What just happened?
Shouldn't it be swatting that tiny thing flat with its paws?
How did it fly away on its own?
Gu Yuena didn't give it time to think.
With a swift movement of her feet, she closed in like a silver streak of light.
The six Elemental Light swirled wildly around him, transforming into countless elemental bullets the size of fists.
The attack rained down on the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
"Boom boom boom boom boom--"
Elemental Bombardment.
Fireballs, ice blades, wind blades, earth spikes, light spears, and shadow arrows—six attacks were unleashed in succession, forcing the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear to flee in terror.
It wanted to retaliate, so it raised its giant claws and swung them at Gu Yuena.
But Gu Yuena was much faster, and she could easily dodge the claw blades the moment they fell.
Then, in a swift counterattack, an Elemental Bombardment ensued.
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear's roar gradually turned into a wail.
"I'll blow you up! I'll blow you up! I'll blow you up!"
Gu Yuena chased and bombarded as she went.
Her long silver hair flew wildly in the Elemental Storm, and her purple eyes burned with an almost scorching light.
She wasn't fighting; she was venting.
He vented his frustration at being bossed around by Bai Yuan.
He vented his anger at being called "Gu Xiaoyue".
He wanted to vent his frustration at never winning in Simulation battles over the years.
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear ran faster and faster, but it couldn't outrun Gu Yuena.
Its size was too large; no matter how fast it moved, it couldn't outrun the silver-haired girl empowered by the wind element.
It ran while looking back, its little eyes filled with fear and confusion.
What's wrong with this human?
Isn't she a mage?
Shouldn't mages stand at a distance when casting spells?
Why are you chasing after it and bombarding it?!
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear was filled with questions.
Why are you chasing after me and hitting me?
Its understanding completely collapsed at that moment.
In its mind, human mages always hid behind tanks to deal damage, and would become flustered once they were approached.
But this silver-haired girl chased after them more fiercely than the soldiers and bombarded them more fiercely than artillery emplacements.
It ran, she chased; it turned back, she slammed it.
The mighty overlord of the jungle, the bear among bears.
He was chased all over the mountain by a seemingly frail little girl, completely powerless to fight back.
Bai Yuan leaned against the tree, watching this scene.
The curve of her lips just wouldn't go down.
That Silver Dragon King is so silly, it's awesome!
Gu Yuena unleashed another barrage of attacks, and the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear finally couldn't withstand it.
His limbs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, emitting low, whimpering sounds that sounded like he was begging for mercy.
Those dark golden claws hung limply at his sides.
The claws left shallow marks on the ground.
It stopped running, and couldn't run anymore.
Gu Yuena stood before it, her long silver hair still swaying in the afterglow, her chest rising and falling slightly, her breathing a little rapid.
The lingering excitement still remained in her purple eyes.
Looking at the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear lying on the ground, barely alive.
He stretched out his hand, and a beam of icy blue light condensed at his fingertips.
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear gradually lost their luster.
The massive body lurched forward two steps due to inertia before crashing to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Gu Yuena withdrew her hand, and the icy blue light that had been gathered at her fingertips gradually dissipated.
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear is the guardian of the Spirit Ascension Platform, the core of this Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, and one of Bai Yuan's targets on this trip.
After all, if you know about such a treasure and opportunity and don't take it, that would be truly foolish!
It's not like Dragon Valley or Immortal Herb, opportunities that I can't even touch right now!
The next moment, the corpse of the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear began to glow.
The dark golden fur became transparent in the light, the skin and flesh melted away in the light, and the blood evaporated in the light.
Its dark golden body transformed into countless tiny golden specks of light, which were swept up by the wind, swirling and rising into the air, slowly drifting towards Gu Yuena and Bai Yuan.
Gu Yuena tilted her head slightly, and the golden light spots fell on her silver hair, shoulders, and fingertips, carrying a Sisi warmth.
A faint, indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.
She couldn't explain it clearly, nor did she want to say more; she simply stood there quietly.
He accepted the gift left behind by the dead Soul Beast.
As the light faded, the true treasure was finally revealed.
A section of dark golden bone appeared on the fallen leaves.
The bone was small, shaped like a palm.
Five narrow, sharp blades extend from the finger bones at the front.
Curved like a hook, sharp as a knife.
Each blade is adorned with varying shades of dark gold patterns.
A dark golden halo flowed across the blade like ripples on water.
It shimmered with a faint, lustrous light, as if it were alive.
Gu Yuena stepped forward, bent down to pick it up, and examined the piece of metacarpal bone in her palm.
She could sense the power contained within it.
Violent and pure, surging, colliding, and roaring unabashedly within the bones.
It was a wild, primal power, a power unique to the overlords of the jungle.
"Soul Bone?"
Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to look at Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan stood a few steps away, tilting his head to look at the dark golden palm bone in Gu Yuena's hand.
"The reward for the Spirit Ascension Platform Guardian."
Bai Yuan walked over, his gaze falling on the dark golden palm bone.
He knew where this thing came from.
Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Palm Bone
Soul Bone are extremely rare in the Douluo Continent; theoretically, they only exist in the real world.
The Spirit Ascension Platform, being a virtual space, should not produce physical objects.
However, the Spirit Ascension Platform exists between reality and illusion; the Soul Beast are virtual, but the energy is real.
After the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear was killed.
The energy that had not yet been recovered by the system condensed, compressed, and solidified in the void.
Ultimately, it became this actual piece of Soul Bone.
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear is one of the top-tier Soul Beast; a hundred-year-old soul beast can rival an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Even dragons are wary of the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw of this race.
The chances of them producing Soul Bone after death are extremely low, and the chances of producing palm bones are even more negligible.
The essence of the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear lies in its pair of sharp claws.
After a bear dies, its most valuable treasure is not its fur, its flesh, or its bones.
Rather, it is the metacarpal bones formed from the claws that contain all of its innate abilities.
The other parts of the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear's Soul Bone mainly enhance its defensive capabilities, but only its left and right arm bones and metacarpal bones inherit its terrifying offensive power.
The metacarpal bones have the lowest probability of appearing, and the associated Soul Skill are also the strongest.
The bone in Gu Yuena's hand was not an ordinary arm bone, nor was it a left metacarpal bone.
It is the most powerful, rarest, and most precious right metacarpal bone of the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
It grows along with the Soul Master, possesses limitless evolutionary potential, and does not affect the fusion with other Soul Bone in the same part.
But Bai Yuan's gaze fell on the palm bone in Gu Yuena's hand.
"Sorry, Xiao Tang, I've taken your opportunity!"
He snapped out of his thoughts and fixed his gaze on Gu Yuena's face.
"This is the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Palm Bone."
The most precious type of Soul Bone produced by the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear, its innate Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear Dark-Gold Dreadclaw is its inherent talent.
Its power is enough to tear apart a dragon, and it can even grow stronger as you grow.
Gu Yuena listened quietly, her expression remaining unchanged, only turning the dark golden palm bone over and over to examine it several times.
A moment later, she raised her head and handed the metacarpal bone to Bai Yuan.
"You absorb it."
"It doesn't suit my Martial Soul."
Bai Yuan stared at Gu Yuena's purple eyes.
He smiled, did not refuse, and reached out to take the dark gold palm bone.
I am the noble Silver Dragon King, how could I absorb something like this?
No matter how strong the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear, it is still just a mortal beast.
The blood of the Dragon God flows in her veins; it is the blood of the spirit of all things.
Let her absorb the bones of a bear.
Even the king of bears, even the bear among ten thousand bears.
He's not good enough for her.
Not to mention.
Gu Yuena's gaze secretly drifted towards Bai Yuan, who was preparing to absorb the Soul Bone.
This wretched human is so weak and incompetent.
Without this Soul Bone, how can I serve as her henchman in the future?
She wanted to exploit him for a few more years.
We can't let him die out there.
Bai Yuan held the dark golden palm bone in his hand, and could feel the violent and pure power surging in his palm.
He closed his eyes, pressed his palm bones against his chest, and guided that power into his body.
A dark golden light shone from his chest, like a spark being ignited, and then spread along his meridians to his limbs and bones.
He could feel those dark golden specks of light moving across the surface of his bones.
Searching for the most suitable place, the most suitable home.
Dark golden light converged from all parts of his body toward his right hand.
Like countless golden streams flowing into the sea, it enveloped the entire right hand in a warm, slightly scorching light.
He felt his palms changing, his bones reorganizing, his muscles stretching, and something taking shape beneath his skin.
Finally, the light faded.
Bai Yuan opened his right hand, revealing faint, dark gold lines remaining between the lines on his palm.
He clenched his fist, and his bones cracked slightly.
He spread his five fingers, and his sharp claws extended.
Five sharp blades extended from his knuckles, the dark gold claws curved like hooks.
Each one was several inches long, its blade gleaming with a dark golden light in the sunlight.
The air itself seemed to tear apart, emitting a faint hissing sound.
Bai Yuan stood in the sunlight, his dark golden claws slightly open at his sides.
The light flowed along the claw blades, as if they were alive.
He looked at his right hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Dark-Gold Dreadclaw, obtained.
