"Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng unleashed Thunder Dragon Claw. A dragon claw formed from lightning shot out instantly and struck Qin Qi.

But in that instant, golden light automatically shielded his body, protecting Qin Qi.

"Seems like... I don't feel anything."

Qin Qi lowered his head to look. The spot that had been hit was completely uninjured; he did not even feel the slightest numbness.

"Again!"

Seeing Qin Qi standing completely still, Yu Tianheng grew frustrated. He gathered power and launched another attack.

"Still nothing. Are you sure you used any strength?"

Qin Qi looked at Yu Tianheng. He truly was not trying to provoke him—he genuinely felt nothing.

"Again!"

"Second Soul Skill!"

"Again!"

"Again!"

Yu Tianheng kept attacking until his soul power was completely drained, yet he failed to harm Qin Qi in the slightest. He stared blankly at Qin Qi, his face full of disbelief.

"Am I dreaming?"

Yu Tianheng stared at Qin Qi and muttered blankly.

"Probably not. The golden light on my body apparently gives me more than just powerful physical defense."

"It's also greatly boosted my elemental resistance. Well, I'm not sure whether it applies to every element yet, but my lightning resistance is definitely maxed out right now."

"If even you, the number one attack-type martial soul, can't move me at the same rank, then no one else can either."

Qin Qi thought of the physique Tang San had forged in the original story after consuming the Ice and Fire immortal herbs, granting him immunity to ice and fire.

He was not sure whether he was immune, but at the very least, his resistance was extremely high. More precisely, his resistance was extremely high while the golden light shielded his body.

"That's impossible. I'm a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon! I have the number one attack-type martial soul in the world! I..."

"Alright, alright. Keep muttering to yourself. I need to go test some other things."

Qin Qi looked at Yu Tianheng, who seemed to have lost his soul entirely, patted him on the shoulder, and then went to find his older brother.

Qin Ming had a fire attribute. Qin Qi asked Qin Ming to control his strength while attacking him, starting with an attack at the Great Soul Master level.

The flames struck Qin Qi without leaving behind the slightest trace—not even a scorch mark.

"Nothing. Raise the level a little."

Qin Qi spoke.

"Alright."

Qin Ming slowly increased his soul power, then attacked again. Level twenty-five, level twenty-six... level thirty, level thirty-one.

"I can feel it a little now. It's getting a bit hot."

Qin Qi could finally feel something, though it was only a slight warmth.

"The golden light didn't grant me immunity to elemental attacks. Instead, it directly strengthened all sorts of resistances."

"At the same rank, I can basically ignore attacks entirely. Even attacks from someone a full major rank higher will be greatly weakened."

"Why does this feel so familiar?"

Qin Qi suddenly thought of the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear among soul beasts. According to the records, whenever it was attacked—

golden light would emerge from its body's surface to resist the attack, giving it powerful resistance against both elemental and physical attacks.

And the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear's ability came from the trace of Behemoth bloodline within its body.

"A humanoid Golden Behemoth?"

Qin Qi looked at the faint golden glow surrounding his body. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that even his body hair seemed to have turned golden!

"So it wasn't just you who got a new skin—I got one too."

Qin Qi looked at the golden Strength-Eating Immortal Gu. He had always thought only the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu had received a new skin.

Unexpectedly, he had changed as well. The golden light from before might truly have been a cocoon, and after emerging from it, he had been completely reborn.

"Big Brother... I might turn into a blondie in the future. You won't break my legs over that, right?"

Qin Qi touched his hair. He felt that it might turn golden in the future too. When that happened, a little hair gel would let him cosplay a Super Saiyan.

"Blond hair isn't a problem. If you like it, you can dye your hair."

Qin Ming was quite easygoing, though he had misunderstood Qin Qi's meaning.

"Alright, Big Brother. With those words, your little brother can rest easy."

"I know you're confused about my current condition. To be honest, I'm pretty confused myself."

"Let's discuss and figure it out together."

Qin Qi spoke.

Over the next while, Qin Qi explained the situation to Qin Ming, and the two discussed it together.

By the time they finished discussing it, it was lunchtime. This time, Qin Ming prepared some soul beast meat for Qin Qi and the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu.

"This is ten-year soul beast meat. Let Little Green Worm... Little Gold Worm? Give it a try and see whether it can digest it."

Qin Ming looked at the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu, which had completely changed color, hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Thanks, bro. As expected of high-grade meat—it really tastes better than ordinary meat."

Qin Qi and the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu had already started eating. After it had eaten its fill, the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu began converting the energy to strengthen Qin Qi's body.

At the same time, Qin Qi could feel the golden light on his body steadily increasing. If he could look inside himself—

Qin Qi would have discovered that the gold in his blood and on his bones was also increasing.

"So changing your skin comes with special effects too? I thought you'd just gotten dyed a different color."

Qin Qi rubbed the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu's head. Turning gold had increased its strength and defense.

After turning gold, the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu had gained the ability to increase its defensive golden light by eating.

One Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, two ways to use it—this was absolutely amazing!

That afternoon, Qin Qi went to have tea with Dugu Yan and the others.

"Qin Qi, what did you do again? This morning, I saw Yu Tianheng talking to a blade of grass in the woods."

Dugu Yan looked at Qin Qi and asked.

"I didn't do anything. Old Yu just has a weak mentality. He makes a huge fuss over the smallest things."

Qin Qi sat down and looked at the food in front of him. Though he had just eaten, he still felt hungry.

He ate while speaking.

"Boss, have you been out on the streets lately?"

Shi Mo asked.

"No. I've been really busy lately—where would I find the time to stroll around?"

"What happened? Did something happen on the streets?"

Qin Qi took a sip of tea, then picked up two stone balls in his left hand and began spinning them. Playing and training at the same time—truly wonderful.

"Recently, people from Godwind Academy have been looking for you all over the streets. They said their boss wanted to avenge his sweetheart."

"They said they wanted to challenge you to a one-on-one duel and told you to find them on the commercial street."

Shi Mo spoke from the side.

"A one-on-one duel? That's hilarious. Do they think I'm free? I'm busy to death every day—where would I get time to duel them?"

Qin Qi could not help laughing. Why should he accept a duel with Godwind Academy? There was no benefit if he won, and he would lose face if he lost.

He was not going.

"Um... I have a letter here."

Ye Lingling hesitated at the side for a long while before finally gathering her courage and speaking softly.

"A letter? A challenge letter from Godwind Academy? I can't be bothered reading that. Just throw it away."

Qin Qi said.

"No, it's not. It seems to be from Huo Wu, addressed to you. There's even a heart symbol on it."

As Ye Lingling spoke, she took out the letter and placed it on the table.

"Eh! This... could it be the legendary love letter? Did Huo Wu get beaten into submission after Qin Qi beat her up?"

Dugu Yan was curious. She immediately reached out and began opening the letter. She really wanted to see what Huo Wu had written.
