Nine-Section Spine Armor, the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo's New Formation Core
Three days later.
The underground training chamber has reopened.
Ye Lingling confirmed that Dong Jian's back numbness had completely disappeared.
Qin Ming then allowed a second test.
Dong Jian released the Dark Gold Spine Armor.
Nine bone fragments appeared in sequence.
This time.
Do not activate the Dark Gold Vein Suppression.
Only the most basic form is maintained.
Li Man stood behind him.
The Green Jade Dragon Bamboo Martial Soul emerged.
The Fourth Soul Ring did not light up.
She first used her Third Soul Skill Parasitic Bamboo Formation Eye.
Leave a node on the first bone fragment.
The core of the formation has just been attached.
Dong Jian then sensed a plant-based Soul Power completely different from his own.
It did not enter the body.
It only remained on the surface of the Soul Bone.
"Feel?"
Li Man asked.
"Cold."
"Anything else?"
"It's like having an extra landing point."
The second key to the formation landed on the second bone fragment.
The third one.
The fourth one.
Until all nine spine plates were marked with Green Jade Dragon Bamboo.
There were no abnormalities initially.
Li Man attempted to connect nine nodes simultaneously.
The problem erupted instantly.
The Green Jade Dragon Bamboo identified the nine bone fragments as nine independent array cores.
Golden Soul Power flowed simultaneously along nine routes.
Every node wants to send power into Dong Jian's spine.
It's not an attack.
However, this caused pressure to be applied to all nine bone fragments simultaneously.
Dong Jian's body suddenly tensed up.
Warnings about the Divine Dragon Secret Realm have been appearing repeatedly.
"Too many external transmission routes."
"Conflict between the primary and secondary structures of the Soul Bone."
"Increased pressure on the spine."
"Suspension is recommended."
"Withdraw!"
Li Man took the initiative to dissolve the matter before Dong Jian could speak.
All nine array points shattered simultaneously.
Dragon Bamboo Origin Return was not used.
All external Soul Power dissipated immediately.
Dong Jian still experienced a brief stinging pain in his back.
Ye Lingling immediately stepped forward.
No fracture.
"But all nine bone fragments are pressing inwards simultaneously."
Qin Ming asked:
"Reason?"
Li Man looked at the broken golden specks of light on the ground.
I treated them as nine ordinary array nodes.
"The Dark Gold Spine Armor is not composed of nine independent nodes."
Dong Jian nodded.
"They were originally structures on a spine."
The nine bone fragments can disperse the force.
This does not mean they are independent of each other.
The true core of the External Soul Bone.
It remains a complete vertebral armor.
If Green Jade Dragon Bamboo forcibly establishes an independent main path for each bone fragment.
It's like having nine forces vying for the same spine at the same time.
"Change to three groups."
Li Man said.
This is exactly the judgment made after the last test.
The first to the third pieces.
Shoulder support.
The fourth to sixth pieces.
Back turn.
The seventh to ninth pieces.
Release the pressure on your waist.
She no longer allowed the array's focal point to fall directly on each bone fragment.
Instead, a master node is established in each of the three central groups.
The remaining six pieces have only very faint auxiliary patterns.
Three key points in the formation.
Three routes.
It has the same upper limit as the original Dark Gold Spine Armor.
"Do not connect yet."
Li Man said.
You activate the Dark Gold Vein Suppression yourself.
Dong Jian activated his External Soul Bone ability.
Nine spine plates lit up.
Three internal power lines have emerged.
Li Man observed its running rhythm.
The first group lights up first.
The fifth block then underwent the conversion.
The eighth and ninth blocks were released last.
She waited until the cycle was completed.
Only then were the three array eyes connected in sequence.
The first one follows.
The second one follows the conversion.
The third one was released subsequently.
There was no attempt to seize control.
It simply attaches to the existing path of the Dark Gold Spine Armor.
Dong Jian initially only felt a chill in his back.
Then.
The Soul Power of the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo began to synchronize with the black and white power.
It doesn't enter the meridians.
Instead, it forms an external network on the surface of the bone fragment.
Divine Dragon Secret Realm Hint:
"Stable external node detected."
Number of routes: three.
"Soul Bone pressure is normal."
External conduction loss: 41%.
The losses are very high.
This explains when Li Man's Soul Power passed through the Dark Gold Spine Armor.
Nearly half will dissipate due to friction between different properties.
But at least there was no conflict.
"Send a force towards the core of the formation."
Li Man said.
The black Soul Power in Dong Jian's right shoulder sank inward.
A normal impact struck Qin Ming from the front.
The first group of Dark Gold Spine Armor was received.
The force passed through the fifth bone fragment.
Normally, it would be sent to Dong Jian's right leg.
This time.
Li Man changed direction at the second set of nodes.
They did not forcibly seize all the power.
Only a very small portion of them were allowed to enter the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo Formation Path.
Golden Soul Power extended from behind Dong Jian.
It landed on the stone pillar three steps away.
The stone pillar trembled slightly.
It was a success.
The Green Jade Dragon Bamboo borrowed the Dark Gold Spine Armor for the first time.
A shock truly belonging to Dong Jian was conveyed.
The cost is equally obvious.
Li Man's face turned slightly pale.
Cracks appeared in the second set of array eyes.
"The strength attribute is too heavy."
She said.
"The bamboo formation can't catch them all."
"Just keep the direction."
Dong Jian answered.
If Li Man tries to make the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo bear all the power of the Dark Gold Spine Armor.
The core of the formation will inevitably break.
Truly reasonable cooperation.
The Dark Gold Spine Armor handles most of the weight.
The bamboo formation only takes over the parts that need to change direction.
Round two.
Qin Ming attacked from the left.
Dong Jian took over.
The Dark Gold Spine Armor divided the impact into three layers.
One layer runs downwards along the spine.
Li Man only slightly deflected the array's core when the force passed through the fifth bone fragment.
The final release point shifts from the right leg to the left foot.
The ground cracks changed direction.
Conductive losses decrease.
Divine Dragon Secret Realm Hint:
External conduction loss: 29%.
The third round.
Qin Ming attacked from both the front and the rear simultaneously.
The two impacts entered different spinal cord groups.
Dong Jian is in charge of maintaining stability.
Li Man only handled one of the routes.
They did not covet complete control.
The two forces separated successfully.
Four breaths.
Five breaths.
The sixth breath.
The Dark Gold Vein Suppression has reached its safe limit.
Li Man immediately deactivated all the array points.
Dong Jian simultaneously retrieved the External Soul Bone.
The seventh breath has not yet been reached.
Ye Lingling's examination is over.
"The strain on my back is less than last time."
"But Li Man's mental state was clearly depleted."
Li Man sat to the side, recovering.
"Because I've been feeling his three routes."
"It's more difficult than controlling a regular array eye."
Qin Ming asked:
"Can it be used for fusion?"
"Theoretically, yes."
Li Man answered.
"Not yet."
What else is needed?
"The Martial Soul itself."
Today, only the External Soul Bone and the Parasitic Bamboo Formation Eye are connected.
The Yin-Yang Iron-Eating Beast did not actually enter the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo Formation.
The Green Jade Dragon Bamboo did not contribute to the fusion framework.
This is just a temporary connection between the two conductive structures.
Distance from Martial Soul Fusion.
There is still a long way to go.
Internal records of Dong Jian's exit from the Divine Dragon Secret Realm.
In the Simulation scene.
The nine spine plates were no longer nine chaotic points of light.
It was divided into three stable regions.
A prompt appeared.
"The new transmission model has been recorded."
Shoulder: Support.
Back: Change.
Waist area: hair.
Naming suggestion: None.
The Divine Dragon Secret Realm did not name this structure for them.
Because it's not a skill yet.
It was simply a path that Dong Jian and Li Man had found together.
After training.
Li Man re-examined the diagram of the vertebrae she had drawn.
The fifth piece is still the most important.
Dong Jian said.
"The weakness of the Dark Gold Earth Vein Bear is also the fifth piece."
"Therefore, it is both the core of the transformation."
"It's also the position most likely to lose control."
Li Man made a mark next to the fifth piece.
"During future fusion..."
"This place cannot be the sole focal point of the battle."
"Why?"
"Once the enemy hits..."
"Both our paths will be severed."
She looked up.
"An alternative route must be prepared."
"Ten Thousand Bamboos Return to the Veins?"
"Right."
Li Man said:
"The Dark Gold Spine Armor only has three stable routes."
"The Green Jade Dragon Bamboo can provide an additional exit for each route."
"Main road blocked."
"Secondary route."
"The secondary road is also closed."
"Dissolve the fusion immediately."
Dong Jian nodded.
"Can't we force ourselves to endure it?"
"Cannot."
"And the seventh breath?"
"No, not either."
Li Man rolled up the record.
"The Divine Dragon Secret Realm will remind you."
I will immediately withdraw the troops.
Dong Jian looked at her.
"Can you actively dissolve the fusion?"
"Not before."
Li Man said:
"Now, Ten Thousand Bamboos Return to the Veins."
"As long as the outer defenses remain in my control."
"Then we can cut the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo first."
This means...
What if Mountain-Suppressing Dragon Bamboo gets out of control next time?
This provides at least one more way to terminate the process.
It is not absolutely safe.
But the ending is no longer limited to the two of them exhausting their Soul Power together.
Before leaving the basement.
Dong Jian asked:
"Today, place the three array cores on the Soul Bone."
Does it hurt?
Li Man was taken aback.
Why am I in pain?
"When the recoil passes the fifth block."
Your expression changed.
"It stung my spirit."
Li Man answered.
"Not the body."
Dong Jian remained silent.
Li Man saw through his thoughts.
"Of course, there will be a backlash in the connection."
"They don't want me to suffer."
"Don't let the fifth piece get out of control."
"What kind of solution is this?"
"The most direct."
Li Man walked up the stone steps.
"You're responsible for keeping things quiet inside."
"I'll handle things outside."
"This is true integration."
