Singular Velvet Sky Shadow Transformation and Singular Velvet Sky Armor Transformation, Image Clone and Mirror Shadow Illusion

External soul bones were already exceedingly rare.

And a hundred-thousand-year external soul bone was a rare treasure among rare treasures!

Even Titled Douluo like Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had never seen one in all their years.

They had never even heard of one!

"Little Hao... that luck of yours really is..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes reddened, his heart filled with both excitement and happiness for Lin Hao.

"Whatever the case, as your teacher, I'm proud of you!"

"Since your singular velvet sky chrysanthemum martial soul absorbed this Mirror Shadow Beast's soul ring as its fifth soul ring..."

"You should hurry and fuse with this hundred-thousand-year external soul bone too."

Chrysanthemum Douluo urged him excitedly.

"Don't refuse!"

"A soul ring and soul bone from the same soul beast will resonate, enhancing the power and effects of both their soul ring skills and soul bone skills!"

"You're the best person to absorb this hundred-thousand-year external soul bone!"

Under Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's urging and insistence...

"Teacher, Uncle Ghost!"

Deeply touched, Lin Hao accepted the heartguard-like external soul bone that his teacher, Chrysanthemum Douluo, had picked up and handed to him.

However, he had yet to absorb the Mirror Shadow Beast's soul ring.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Hao first put the external soul bone into his Storage Soul Tool, the Golden Chrysanthemum Bracelet.

Then he turned to look at the crimson hundred-thousand-year soul ring hovering in the air.

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Hao summoned his singular velvet sky chrysanthemum martial soul and began circulating the soul power within his body.

Soon, the Mirror Shadow Beast's soul ring was drawn toward him.

It slipped over his singular velvet sky chrysanthemum martial soul in an instant.

An immense surge of soul power poured into Lin Hao's body like floodwaters bursting through a breached dam.

Lin Hao felt every meridian in his body swell with excruciating pain under that violent soul power, as though they might be torn apart at any moment.

At the same time, copper skin and iron bones activated automatically. A soft bronze sheen swiftly spread across his skin, and his muscles tightened to withstand the impact of that violent soul power.

But the energy within a hundred-thousand-year soul ring was simply too vast!

Even with copper skin and iron bones, Lin Hao struggled to endure it.

Before Lin Hao could reach his limit, however...

His right leg suddenly erupted with dazzling blue-silver light.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone's soul bone skill, Wildfire Cannot Burn It Away; the Spring Breeze Brings It Back to Life, activated automatically!

Under the effects of the soul bone skill, Wildfire Cannot Burn It Away; the Spring Breeze Brings It Back to Life...

The soul power within Lin Hao's body was continually transformed into streams of warm, pure life energy, which flowed from the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone into every limb and bone like gently trickling streams.

Wherever the life energy passed, it nourished Lin Hao's injured body, rapidly healing his wounds.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Lin Hao finally finished fusing with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and opened his eyes.

Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately approached.

Filled with excitement and anticipation, Chrysanthemum Douluo asked...

"Little Hao, how did it go? What soul skills did your fifth soul ring give you?"

Lin Hao rose and stretched, a confident smile appearing on his face.

"Teacher, Uncle Ghost, it's just as I thought!"

"This hundred-thousand-year fifth soul ring from the Mirror Shadow Beast gave me two soul skills: Singular Velvet Sky Shadow Transformation and Singular Velvet Sky Armor Transformation!"

"Mirror Shadow Transformation works like this: another soul master only needs to drip a drop of blood onto the Mirror Shadow Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum I create with my fifth soul skill."

"Then anyone who consumes that Mirror Shadow Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum can temporarily gain that soul master's martial soul, along with soul skills at eighty percent of their original power."

"Of course, they have to be at the same cultivation level to gain the same number of soul rings."

"If their cultivation is lower than the soul master who supplied the blood, they'll only gain soul rings corresponding to their own level."

Lin Hao explained.

"As for Mirror Armor Transformation..."

Lin Hao smiled and continued.

"Its effects aren't quite as perfect. It simply creates a Mirror Armor Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which grants a suit of mirror armor when consumed."

"Not only does this mirror armor have astonishing defensive strength, capable of withstanding attacks from hundred thousand year soul skills, it also reflects thirty percent of the physical and energy damage the wearer suffers back at the enemy!"

After hearing Lin Hao's explanation, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both sucked in a breath of cold air before their faces lit up with wild delight.

"Little Hao, these soul skills are incredible!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke with irrepressible excitement.

"With Singular Velvet Sky Shadow Transformation..."

"You only need to copy soul masters with top-tier beast martial souls, and combined with your own physical abilities, you'll be unstoppable!"

"And Mirror Armor Transformation's damage reflection leaves your opponents caught between striking you and not striking you!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Finding that everything had turned out just as he had expected, Lin Hao was also deeply satisfied and spoke with a smile.

"Now, once I fuse with this hundred-thousand-year external soul bone, the Mirror Shadow Beast Heartguard..."

"I'll see whether the resonance between the soul ring and soul bone further improves my fifth soul skill, Singular Velvet Sky Shadow Transformation!"

With that, Lin Hao took the heartguard-like external soul bone, the Mirror Shadow Beast Heartguard, out of his Storage Soul Tool, the Golden Chrysanthemum Bracelet.

After sitting cross-legged, Lin Hao pressed the external soul bone, the Mirror Shadow Beast Heartguard, against his chest over his heart.

Then he slowly infused it with soul power.

The external soul bone, the Mirror Shadow Beast Heartguard, instantly erupted with dazzling silver light. It seemed to become a mass of liquid light that seeped into Lin Hao's skin, gradually merging with the flesh, bones, and meridians around his heart.

At the same time, an immense surge of soul power was released, strengthening his body while also merging with the soul power within him.

Lin Hao continuously refined the soul power released by the external soul bone, the Mirror Shadow Beast Heartguard.

Nearly an entire day passed.

Lin Hao finally succeeded in absorbing the external soul bone, the Mirror Shadow Beast Heartguard.

A round, mirror-like silver mark remained on his chest, as though a miniature mirror had been embedded beneath his skin.

At the same time, two streams of information flowed into his mind.

They contained information about the external soul bone, the Mirror Shadow Beast Heartguard's two soul bone skills.

Based on the effects of those soul bone skills...

Lin Hao considered for a moment before naming them Image Clone and Mirror Shadow Illusion!

Image Clone allowed him to copy himself or an enemy, producing a clone with eighty percent of the original's strength that could be used in battle or to confuse opponents.

Mirror Shadow Illusion could create lifelike reflected illusions, which could be used to mislead enemies or made solid by expending soul power, mingling the illusory with the tangible until truth and falsehood became indistinguishable.

Beyond that, after fusing with the external soul bone, the Mirror Shadow Beast Heartguard...

Lin Hao made another discovery that filled him with excitement and surprise.

Both soul skills from his fifth soul ring, Singular Velvet Sky Shadow Transformation and Mirror Armor Transformation, had improved considerably!

Setting Singular Velvet Sky Armor Transformation aside for the moment...

Originally, Singular Velvet Sky Shadow Transformation could only copy a soul master's martial soul and soul ring skills, not soul bones or domains, and its soul skills only possessed eighty percent of the original owner's power.

But after he fused with the external soul bone, the Mirror Shadow Beast Heartguard...

This soul skill could now copy an enemy's soul bones and domains as well.

Moreover, the effects of the soul rings, soul bones, and domains had all increased to ninety percent of the original owner's!
