A Single Claw Shattered the Armor! Niu Gao Was Smacked into the Mountain!

Niu Gao reverted from his Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros form.

But he did not withdraw from the fight.

Eight Spirit Rings still floated around him, two yellow, two purple, and four black. Their rhythmic glow beat in time with his heart.

He clenched his teeth as Soul Power surged from his dantian, layer upon layer coating the surface of his skin.

An earthy yellow aura.

At first, it was merely a thin layer of light hovering over his pores.

Then it thickened.

And thickened again.

The light solidified, transforming into armor.

The armor stacked layer upon layer, no different from the technique he used to lay bricks at the mining site.

Seamless, dense, and heavy.

The armor's texture was rough, like a cross-section of rock strata sliced open by a sharp blade. Crystalline grains formed from condensed Soul Power glittered beneath the illumination stones like scattered sand.

A Defensive Soul Douluo.

For twenty years, he had not seriously fought anyone.

But the moment this Soul Power armor covered his body, the sensation from back then all returned.

He had once worn this armor and taken three heavy punches head-on from a Titled Douluo on the battlefield.

Three punches.

The armor had never shattered.

"Come."

Niu Gao spat out a single word, his voice muffled by the thick armor.

"An armor that withstood three punches from a Titled Douluo—let me see whether your summoner's thing is hard enough!"

Su Chen did not answer him.

He merely raised his right hand.

His first Spirit Ring lit up.

Red.

Blood-red.

Hundred-Thousand-Year red.

The instant that color appeared, every illumination stone in the mining site seemed to dim.

It was not that the light had weakened.

It was that everyone's pupils had been robbed of all attention by that bloody hue.

Then came the aura.
