Unlike Yu Tianlong, Qian Renxue and the others were utterly dumbfounded.
From their perspective, in the blink of an eye, a suit of purple armor had appeared over Yu Tianlong's entire body. Faint fluorescence shimmered along its patterns, and it looked exceedingly formfitting.
Its appearance was beyond reproach, too. It looked completely custom-made, so handsome it defied description!
Although Qian Renxue had absolute confidence in her own strength, after Yu Tianlong's successive displays, she began to wonder whether her Angel Martial Soul could still keep pace with him!
This was simply too outrageous!
"Little Brother Xiaolong, is this how you put on clothes?"
At Qian Renxue's words, Yu Tianlong willed it, and the armor covering his head receded like a tide.
Feeling the Void plating writhing over his body, Yu Tianlong kept sensing something slightly unusual, but he could not put it into words.
He could also sense that this layer of Void living armor plating had other uses.
But he could not figure out how to use them.
"Let's talk about clothes later. Big Brother, try attacking me. Let's see how good my defense is now!"
Qian Renxue immediately became interested. After all, she also wanted to see whether this thing produced by Yu Tianlong's latest Martial Soul Evolution was actually useful.
She promptly drew a dagger from her Storage Soul Tool. Then, as Yu Tianlong watched, its edge flashed, and the dagger stabbed straight at his arm.
Hiss-
The instant the dagger touched Yu Tianlong's Void living plating, it actually bounced right off!
Not even a white mark appeared on Yu Tianlong's body.
A flicker of surprise crossed Qian Renxue's eyes at the sight.
She knew that Yu Tianlong's physical body was extremely powerful, far beyond that of Soul Masters at his level.
That was why she had even used twenty percent of her Soul Power when attacking him.
Yet even so, she had failed to hurt him, or even break through his plating.
How could Qian Renxue not be shocked?
"What is this thing? It's actually this tough!"
A trace of a smile appeared in Yu Tianlong's eyes at her words.
"This is Void living armor plating. You could call it a skill derived from my Martial Soul!"
"A Self-Created Soul Skill?"
"That's not a wrong way to understand it, but I think it's better classified as a Martial Soul trait!"
After receiving her answer, Qian Renxue silently put away the dagger, then asked the question she most wanted answered.
"What about your Martial Soul? Didn't it fall asleep along with you?"
Hearing this, Yu Tianlong was also eager to know what Cho'Gath had gained from this evolution.
He immediately summoned Cho'Gath.
Roar-
"Master, are you all right?"
The moment Cho'Gath emerged, he looked straight at Yu Tianlong. At the sight of the Void plating on Yu Tianlong's body, he instantly felt an immense sense of closeness.
"Master, why does that layer of plating on you feel so much like my own presence?"
Yu Tianlong smiled and nodded.
"It split off from your body in the first place. How could it not resemble you?"
"I'll talk to you in a moment. Let me take a look at you first."
Cho'Gath obediently nodded at his words.
How should Cho'Gath's current appearance be described?
His body had grown another few meters. By Yu Tianlong's estimate, Cho'Gath now stood at least eight meters tall and twelve meters long. Although he could not compare to the overlord Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest,
compared to ordinary Soul Beasts, he already qualified as a supergiant beast!
Yu Tianlong looked particularly tiny standing before Cho'Gath.
Moreover, Cho'Gath's carapace had changed as well, and even his bone spikes exuded sharpness.
"Little Cho, what improvements did you gain from this evolution?"
Cho'Gath thought for a moment, but did not know how to describe it, so he simply demonstrated.
As Yu Tianlong and the others watched, Cho'Gath's carapace rapidly softened, then began flowing according to his will.
Under Cho'Gath's control, it shifted into all kinds of shapes: a saber, a sword, an axe. After demonstrating the weapons, Cho'Gath gathered the flowing liquid together again!
It condensed into an enormous shield.
This maneuver nearly left all of them staring dumbly.
He could even use it like that!
Imagine fighting Cho'Gath, only for his four front claws to suddenly whip out a saber and slash at you!
Or suppose an opponent restrained Cho'Gath, only for the carapace all over his body to flow, and a longsword to suddenly emerge from his abdomen and shoot toward you. How would you deal with that?
Thus, after seeing this transformation of Cho'Gath's, even the experienced and knowledgeable Snake Lance and Pufferfish no longer felt like speaking.
They kept feeling that, before a monster like this, their Martial Souls seemed utterly worthless.
It was like cavemen fighting Trisolarans.
His Soul Skills exceeded the limits, his attributes exceeded the limits, his stats exceeded the limits, and now, even where exceeding the limits should have been impossible, he had sprung another surprise on them.
How were they supposed to play against that?
Play, their asses!
"Little Cho, is there anything else besides this?"
In response to Yu Tianlong's question, Cho'Gath directly described all his changes.
"Besides gaining plating like yours, Master, my physical strength has improved tremendously. I can also feel that if I absorb more flying Soul Beasts later, I might be able to grow wings."
At Cho'Gath's words, Yu Tianlong imagined what he would look like with wings!
Unlike teleportation through a Soul Skill, growing wings would rely entirely on physical strength. Even if he ran short of Soul Power in the future, he would have another way to escape.
In the world of Douluo, aside from Martial Souls with an innate ability to fly and those who obtained specific Soul Skills, one could only fly after breaking through to Titled Douluo-and even then, one had to be above rank ninety-five!
Being able to fly meant that some of many Soul Masters' methods would no longer work on him.
"Got it. Then let's work toward that direction for our next evolution!"
Cho'Gath nodded. He did not have many thoughts about this; as long as he could help his master, that was enough.
Seeing this, Yu Tianlong turned toward Qian Renxue.
"Big Brother, could you get me some flying Soul Beasts later?"
"This concerns the direction of the next evolution for me and my Martial Soul!"
Qian Renxue did not refuse Yu Tianlong's request.
After all, she also wanted to see just what Yu Tianlong could evolve into.
"That's a small matter."
"Other than this plating, did you gain anything else from this evolution?"
Yu Tianlong instinctively glanced down, then gave two light coughs.
"My Soul Power increased by three ranks. I'm rank thirty-seven now!"
