Thunder Dragon Claw!
Yu Tianheng unleashed the Thunder Dragon Claw. A dragon claw formed from lightning shot out in an instant and struck Qin Qi.
But at that very moment, golden light automatically protected his body, shielding Qin Qi.
"Seems like... I don't feel anything."
Qin Qi lowered his head to look. There was not the slightest injury where he had been hit; he did not even feel numb.
"Again!"
Yu Tianheng watched the utterly unmoving Qin Qi and grew annoyed. He gathered power and attacked again.
"Still nothing. Aren't you putting any strength into it?"
Qin Qi looked at Yu Tianheng. He truly was not trying to provoke him; he genuinely could not feel anything.
"Again!"
"Second soul skill!"
"Again!"
"Again!"
Yu Tianheng kept attacking until he had completely exhausted his Soul Power, yet he had not harmed Qin Qi in the slightest. He stared blankly at Qin Qi, his face filled with disbelief.
"Am I dreaming?"
Yu Tianheng looked at Qin Qi and asked blankly.
"Probably not. It's just that the golden light on my body doesn't merely provide powerful physical defense."
"It also greatly increases my attribute resistance. Well, I'm not sure whether it applies to all attributes yet, but my lightning resistance is definitely maxed out now."
"You, the strongest attack-type Martial Soul, can't even hurt me at the same level. That makes it even more impossible for anyone else."
Qin Qi thought of the physique Tang San had tempered after consuming the Ice-Fire Immortal Herb in the original story, one that was immune to ice and fire attributes.
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 protected by the golden light.
"That's impossible! I'm a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon genius! 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. He patted him on the shoulder, then went to find his older brother.
Qin Ming possessed the fire attribute. Qin Qi had him control his Strength Path and attack him, starting with attacks at the Soul Grandmaster level.
The flames struck Qin Qi without leaving a single mark, not even a blackened spot.
"No feeling. Raise the level a little."
Qin Qi said.
"Mm."
Qin Ming slowly raised his Soul Power and attacked again. Level twenty-five, level twenty-six... level thirty, level thirty-one.
"I can feel it a little now. It's getting a little hot."
Qin Qi felt something now, but only a little heat.
"So the golden light didn't grant me immunity to attribute attacks. Instead, it directly enhanced all kinds of my attribute resistance."
"At the same level, I can basically be immune. Even attacks from someone a whole major realm above me get 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. It possessed powerful resistance to all kinds of elemental and physical attacks.
And the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear's ability came from that trace of Behemoth Bloodline within its body.
"A humanoid Golden Behemoth?"
Qin Qi looked at the faint golden light covering his body. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that even his body hair seemed to have turned golden!
"So it wasn't just you getting a new skin. I got one too."
Qin Qi looked at the now-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. That golden light earlier might truly have been a cocoon. Having emerged from it, he had been completely reborn.
"Big brother... I might turn into a blond 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. At that point, 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 open-minded, though he had misunderstood what Qin Qi meant.
"Alright, big brother. With those words from you, your little brother can rest easy."
"I know you're confused about my current condition. Honestly, I'm pretty confused too."
"Let's discuss and figure it out together."
Qin Qi said.
For the rest of the morning, Qin Qi explained the situation to Qin Ming, and the two discussed it together.
As they talked, it became time for lunch. 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 the Little Green Worm... little golden 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. He hesitated briefly before speaking.
"Thanks, big brother. As expected of higher-grade meat—it really tastes better than ordinary meat."
Qin Qi and the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu had already begun eating. Once the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu was full, it began converting the energy to strengthen Qin Qi's body.
At the same time, Qin Qi could feel the golden light around him continuously increasing. If he could look inside his body—
he would discover that the gold in his blood and on his bones was also increasing.
"So changing your skin gave you a special effect too. I thought you'd just gotten a simple recolor."
Qin Qi rubbed the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu's head. Turning golden had increased his own strength and defense.
The Strength-Eating Immortal Gu, after turning golden, had gained the ability to increase the 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 by himself 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 every little thing."
Qin Qi sat down and looked at the food before him. Though he had just eaten, he still felt hungry.
He spoke while eating.
"Boss, have you been out on the streets recently?"
Shi Mo asked.
"No. I've been busy lately. How would I have time to go shopping?"
"What happened? Did something occur on the streets?"
Qin Qi took a sip of tea, then spun two stone balls in his left hand. Playing while training—truly wonderful.
"Recently, people from Godwind Academy have been looking for you all over the streets. They said their boss wanted to avenge his beloved."
"They said they wanted to challenge you to a duel and told you to find them on the commercial street."
Shi Mo spoke from the side.
"A duel? That's hilarious. Do they think I'm that free? I'm busy to death every day. Where would I find time to duel them?"
Qin Qi could not help laughing. Why should he duel Godwind Academy? Winning brought no benefits, while losing would only be humiliating.
He was not going.
"Um... I have a letter here."
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Lingling finally gathered her courage and spoke softly.
"A letter? A challenge letter from Godwind Academy? Then I can't be bothered reading it. Just throw it away."
Qin Qi said.
"No, it's not. It seems to be from Huo Wu, and there's even a heart symbol on it."
As Ye Lingling spoke, she took out the letter and placed it on the table.
"Huh! This... couldn't be a legendary love letter, could it? Did Huo Wu get beaten up by Qin Qi and end up submitting to him?"
Dugu Yan was extremely curious. She immediately reached out to open the letter, desperate to see what Huo Wu had written.
