Chapter 119 Shouldering the Backpack
The trip to the Ice and Fire Two-Eyed Well brought Lin Yun a tremendous improvement.
Just the two god-level Ice and Fire Dragon King soul bones alone were an unimaginable opportunity, not to mention that in just this vacation time, Lin Yun had risen from level forty to level fifty-six.
And this was less than half a month!
Therefore, effort < background < opportunity < cheating!
How much can one achieve through honest cultivation?
To become stronger, one must still shoulder the backpack!
Lin Yun didn't know whether Huo Yuhao had been taken to the Extreme North by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, or if he had taken off even after being taken to the Extreme North. In any case, Lin Yun himself had taken off.
Returning to the Star Dou Great Forest, with the help of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, Lin Yun spent a week completely absorbing the two god-level soul bones. Although these two soul bones did not bring any soul power improvement to Lin Yun, they gave him two additional attributes: ice and fire.
Very strange.
Under the explanation of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, after absorbing these two god-level soul bones, Lin Yun's attribute control ability would continuously improve in his future growth, from the current ultimate ice and fire to the god-level ice and fire that the Ice and Fire Dragon King could control before his death.
Of course, as for how much time Lin Yun would need to raise the ultimate ice and fire to god-level ice and fire, and even surpass the original Ice and Fire Dragon King, that would depend on his own elemental affinity and his talent and comprehension.
These two soul bones were equivalent to a primer, merely opening a door to ice and fire elements for him, who was a Golden Dragon King with nothing but fists.
The skills in these two soul bones were also very simple and crude.
Ice element control, fire element control.
They could help Lin Yun control the corresponding elements. As for what skills he could develop with the well-controlled elements, it still depended on Lin Yun's talent and comprehension.
This made Lin Yun一度 think that these two soul bones were a bit unworthy of the prestige of god-level soul bones. After all, the Mountain Dragon King's torso bone, when absorbed, almost pulled Tang Wulin's physical body to the ceiling level.
Not to mention...
Adding two more ultimate attributes that could grow to god-level, wasn't this really to increase Lin Yun's cultivation difficulty?!
"Fortunately, after gaining the ultimate ice and fire attributes, my cultivation speed only decreased by about one or two tenths compared to before. If it directly tripled my cultivation difficulty, I would consider chopping off these two hands and getting new ones." Lin Yun looked at his right hand, which had transformed into a red golden dragon claw, and heavily sighed in relief.
Looking at this greatly changed right claw, Lin Yun had a feeling of both love and hate.
The Fire Dragon King's right arm bone, as expected, devoured the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone, as well as the Blazing Apricot Delicacy Hand Bone that he had just obtained not long ago, along with Lin Yun's Splitting Heaven Dragon Claw soul skill disappearing.
Although he could still release long-range dragon claws based on his previous feeling, the gold attribute tearing claw shadow he slashed out had become the ultimate fire attribute's Explosive Dragon Claw, and this was no longer considered a soul bone skill, but a self-created soul skill developed by Lin Yun using fire element control.
The gold attribute's armor-piercing effect was completely gone, and instead became a large-range output bomb skill.
Lin Yun didn't know what expression to use.
Even if in the five elements fire overcomes gold, even if the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone's age was a bit lacking, this was too unreasonable, right?
How much growth can devouring this thing give you...
After glancing at the blue-gold dragon claw on his left arm again, Lin Yun helplessly shook his head, retracted the power of dragonization, and restored both arms to normal.
Originally, his dragonization state was a very symmetrical pair of golden dragon claws, with the dragon claws and scales on both arms being a luxurious local tyrant gold color. But after absorbing the Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul bones, his right hand became Phoenix Blood Red Gold, and his left hand became Eternal Blue Gold.
The prominent feature was an asymmetrical beauty, but unfortunately, Lin Yun couldn't appreciate it at all, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder couldn't stand it in the slightest.
As a fellow Dragon King bloodline, Lin Yun truly had no way to change these external appearances, unless he could completely digest these two soul bones to achieve free control.
However, that would probably take a long time.
"That's about right. Myriad Demon King, send Bing'er and me back to Shrek. The good show is about to begin!"
...
When Lin Yun returned to Shrek, about a hundred kilometers away from Shrek, the dust-covered Huo Yuhao was also about to return to Shrek.
To be fair, if he returned to Shrek now, even his former classmates who had been with him day and night would probably not recognize him.
Previously, he was just a thin young man who seemed malnourished and congenitally deficient, with a appearance that could be called delicate. But now, his height had reached two meters, his whole body was muscular, his features were rugged and his face was full of flesh, and the bulging muscles on his arms were even thicker than many girls' legs.
A veritable devil of muscle.
Huo Yuhao himself didn't like his current appearance. Even though the Titan Snow Demon martial soul had brought him extremely powerful power, a new martial soul, a six-thousand-year soul ring, and a six-thousand-year right arm bone, it had directly caused his weak body to grow at an explosive rate.
He no longer had that feeling of weakness from before, and was full of energy every day, able to kill a hundred-year soul beast with a single punch without using his martial soul.
But Huo Yuhao's current appearance was truly too frightening.
Lin Yun's transformation of his claws was a bit better, at most it would torment the obsessive-compulsive disorder of a train carriage, but Huo Yuhao was different.
Wherever he went now, he was met with fearful gazes. Along the way, he had passed through many human cities, but everywhere he went, people kept their distance.
The Titan Snow Demon's change to his appearance was truly beyond evaluation.
'Bastard, you actually dare to mock my appearance. When I break through to become a Title Douluo, you will all have a path to death!' Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, and those fearful, disgusted, or panicked eyes kept flashing through his mind, as he once again recalled this classic quote from the Tang Sect's general principles.
As a member of the Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao had firmly memorized the Tang Sect's general principles.
Especially Dai Huabin, the four words 'path to death' had been carved by Huo Yuhao onto his forehead. As soon as there was an opportunity, Huo Yuhao would definitely not hesitate to kill him.
In the earth-shaking run all the way, the city walls of Shrek City were already in sight.
Because Huo Yuhao had not fused with the Ice Emperor this time, but only a six-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon, the fusion time was much faster than in the original work, and he returned to Shrek Academy three days earlier.
It was just a matter of before and after Lin Yun.
"Heh, just you wait. I, Huo Yuhao, have been completely reborn!" Looking at the distant city walls, Huo Yuhao clenched his sandbag-sized fist, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He still wasn't confident he could defeat Lin Yun, but he was already confident he could take down Dai Huabin!
This time, Huo Yuhao was going to announce to the entire Shrek that he, Huo Yuhao, was a genius with twin martial souls!
