Zhao Yun's body shook slightly as he closed his eyes to digest the information for a moment.
"So it can be done like this. If this method succeeds, this general's combat power will double!"
"Begin," Lin Yuan said indifferently.
"Yes!"
Zhao Yun said no more. After setting up a barrier around them, he sat down cross-legged.
Rumble!
A terrifying aura of thunder began to permeate the room, with countless silver electric arcs transformed from spirit power jumping around Zhao Yun like dancing silver snakes.
Under his control, that vast, sea-like level 99 spirit power began to frantically converge, rotate, and compress at his Dantian!
Time passed second by second.
Fine beads of sweat broke out on Zhao Yun's forehead, his expression tense.
Clearly, even for a super Douluo, attempting to compress spirit power that was massive to the extreme was an incredibly difficult and dangerous task.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yun suddenly opened his eyes and gave a low shout.
"Condense!"
A crystal only the size of a thumb but radiating brilliant silver light completely took shape within his body!
The first Soul Core, the Thunder Soul Core!
An aura more refined and profound than before flashed across Zhao Yun's body.
His strength had already taken a step further beyond the Peak of the Douluo Continent!
Zhao Yun stood up, feeling the continuous flow of power within him, and bowed deeply to Lin Yuan.
"Thank you, My Lord!"
"This general feels that my current strength has increased by at least thirty percent compared to before!"
Lin Yuan nodded. "Tomorrow, I will take you to see Dugu Bo. I need you to protect him as he condenses his elemental soul core."
"As you command!" With those words, Zhao Yun vanished from the spot... Midnight.
As the new day arrived, the System's notification sound rang out on time.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing today's diary entry.]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: "Chaos Godslaying Record" (Fourth Stage)!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Mental Soul Core Condensation Method!]
Lin Yuan looked at the reward information appearing in his mind, a flash of joy crossing his eyes.
Although his current strength wasn't enough to condense a mental force Soul Core, Zhao Yun could. By then, he would have dual Soul Cores.
In terms of combat power, there would be a terrifying increase!
As for the fourth stage of the "Chaos Godslaying Record," he had already obtained the third stage during his month at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
And this fourth stage corresponded exactly to the cultivation of the Spirit Ancestor level, preparing him for after he broke through level 40.
However, the immediate priority was to master the spear technique included in the third stage of the Cultivation Technique.
Lin Yuan's gaze fell on the Martial Skills section of the third stage, which recorded an extremely domineering area-of-effect spear technique.
[Spear Technique Name: Sweeping the Eight Desolations]
[Type: Area of Effect / Burst]
[Description: Channel the spirit power within the body into the spear shaft, launching a 360-degree devastating sweep with oneself as the center.]
[Characteristics: The spear's momentum is like a dragon, heavy as a thousand tons. Once this Move is unleashed, everything within a hundred meters becomes a forbidden zone! It possesses extreme knockback and crushing effects.]
[Ding, congratulations to the Host for completing today's diary entry and receiving rewards: "Chaos Godslaying Record" (Fourth Stage) and the Mental Soul Core Condensation Method.]
...Meanwhile, on the other side.
Inside the girls' dormitory.
[Ding! The person with the highest correlation to today's diary entry is Dugu Yan.]
[Congratulations on obtaining: The supreme poison-type Cultivation Technique, "Ten Thousand Poison True Dragon Scripture"!]
"Hmm?"
Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, looking at the emerald green Jade Slip that had suddenly appeared in her hand.
"Ten Thousand Poison True Dragon Scripture?"
"Is this the Cultivation Technique Lin Yuan mentioned in his diary before? The one said to be different from the Meditation Methods we currently practice?"
She impatiently sank her consciousness into the Jade Slip.
In the next second, a massive stream of information flooded into her mind.
[Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Poison True Dragon Scripture]
[Description: A Cultivation Technique specifically designed for snake-type poison Spirits. It can be cultivated by absorbing all the poisons in the world and devouring the essence blood of high-level dragons.]
[Effect: Upon reaching Major Achievement, one can completely shed the snake body and transform into the legendary Myriad Poison True Dragon Emperor! Immune to all poisons, and all poisons shall submit!]
[Includes: Nine Transformations of the True Dragon (Nine accompanying Martial Skills)]
Dugu Yan's breathing instantly became rapid.
"This... this is simply tailor-made for me!"
Although her current Spirit showed signs of transforming into a dragon, it was not yet a true dragon.
And this technique could greatly accelerate the speed of her Spirit's Dragon Transformation.
Dugu Yan continued reading.
This technique also contained nine accompanying Martial Skills, known as the "Nine Transformations of the True Dragon."
With her current level 38 spirit power, she could just unlock and learn the first three Moves.
Each Move carried a terrifying amplification effect.
[First Form: Phantom Dragon Steps]
[Type: Movement Technique / Speed]
[Description: Figure like a phantom, moving like a roaming dragon. When used, dragon shadows appear around the body to confuse the enemy.]
[Amplification: Once activated, movement speed is instantly increased by 100%! Furthermore, during high-speed movement, there is a chance to be immune to the enemy's lock-on type Spirit abilities!]
Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes widened. She felt that these Nine Transformations of the True Dragon seemed somewhat similar to the Dragon Transformation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, the Dragon Transformation secret method of the Blue Lightning Family has great limitations; it can only be self-awakened after level 30, and the Spirit must be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Once a mutation occurs, the Spirit Master will be unable to activate the Dragon Transformation.
But the restrictions on her technique were much smaller.
Suppressing her excitement, she continued reading.
[Second Form: Soul-Crushing Dragon Claw]
[Type: Melee / Power Attack]
[Description: Condense poison and spirit power into both hands, transforming them into indestructible dragon claws. Every strike carries a toxic corrosive effect.]
[Amplification: Once activated, the attack power of both hands increases by 100%! Additionally, attacks carry a "Shield Break" effect, dealing double damage to defensive barriers!]
Seeing this second form, Dugu Yan had a doubt in her heart. Although her Jade Phosphor Serpent now showed signs of growing dragon horns, it had not yet grown limbs.
Could she still learn this second form?
[Third Form: Dragon Scale Golden Body]
[Type: Defense / Damage Reflection]
[Description: Condense a layer of toxic dragon scale armor on the surface of the skin.]
[Amplification: Once activated, defense is increased by 100%! Moreover, when receiving a physical attack, 30% of the damage is reflected back to the attacker, along with a poisoning effect!]
After reading the descriptions of these three Moves, Dugu Yan was completely stunned.
Speed amplification!
Attack amplification!
Defense amplification!
Setting aside whether she could learn them, just these amplifications alone were something even Ning Rongrong's evolved Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda couldn't achieve right now!
"Lin Yuan, it's all because of you that I have such a change today. How should I repay you?"
Dugu Yan thought of that kiss from today, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
At this moment, she was simply too excited. That feeling of being reborn, along with those three accompanying Moves, made her feel that she was terrifyingly strong right now...
