Chapter 32 Dragon Armor of Power 7: The Heart-Refining Technique
Qin Xu's body ignited with a spiritual fire, and he was like a furnace, burning fiercely and melting frost and snow.
Starting from his spine, streams of light spread continuously, like the sprouting of grass roots, taking root in Qin Xu's flesh and blood. This great dragon spine was constantly stretching, like a ferocious dragon, tightly connecting Qin Xu's muscles and bones, while at the same time, streams of heat surged into his limbs and bones.
Within Qin Xu's body, the sun blazed forth, his muscles and bones roared, and dragons and tigers howled together, like a tight chain connecting the muscles and bones of every part of his body!
Under the scalding hot water.
His physical form slowly changed. A thin mist rose from his body, and his body became stronger in every way.
In terms of martial arts, the cultivation progress of the spleen earth and lung metal storage has suddenly soared, and the soul power has also increased wildly, easily breaking through the level 40 martial soul bottleneck!
Qin Xu closed his eyes, feeling the surging blood and qi within his body like a mighty river, incredibly powerful. He could vaguely hear the roar of a dragon, and streams of blood and qi were flowing out of his body.
The Flame of Qi and Blood!
This is a flame fueled by vital energy and blood!
This surge of vital energy quickly spread across the body's surface, and golden scales of vital energy rapidly grew on the areas that had been burned.
At the same time, Qin Xu's hands transformed into thick, hard, crimson dragon claws, with scales, hooves, and other features also materializing. His hair changed from pure black to golden-red, and when he opened his eyes, his originally dark and bright pupils transformed into a magnificent and dignified golden color, giving him an aura of majesty and dominance.
Bibi Dong was also extremely surprised that she had to divide her mind into parts.
When she threw the soul bone to Qin Xu, she felt as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.
If she were to give this soul bone to Yu Xiaogang and only then discover his true nature, she would undoubtedly be even more distressed.
Now that it has been given to Qin Xu, I feel somewhat relieved.
This soul bone is extremely precious; even a Super Douluo would be envious of it.
Although its lifespan is only 30,000 years, its special characteristics are obvious to any Soul Master.
If she didn't already possess a torso bone, she would have preferred to absorb it herself.
This bone is the most precious torso bone, but its value has little to do with its location as a soul bone. Rather, it is related to its type—this torso bone comes from the ancestor of sub-dragons, a super dragon-attribute soul beast with ferocious power, the Tyrannosaurus Rex! Moreover, unlike ordinary torso bones, this torso bone seems to have some patterns attached to it, which are formed by golden dragon blood.
These patterns are not found on ordinary soul bones.
The Spirit Hall has very few records about Tyrannosaurus Rex.
For Yu Xiaogang's sake, Bibi Dong once made a special effort to study the knowledge of dragon-attribute soul beasts.
Naturally, he knew that the powerful and representative soul beast, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, possessed soul bones—especially the spine, which had the greatest impact on soul masters. These bones could undoubtedly compensate for Yu Xiaogang's weak body and even allow Yu Xiaogang's martial soul to evolve in one fell swoop.
What Bibi Dong didn't know was that the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the king of earth dragons, had an even more powerful background—it possessed a less-than-pure golden dragon bloodline. Although it was impure, its status was terrifyingly high.
It inherited the pure power attribute of the Golden Dragon.
Ultimate power!
With its noble dragon bloodline and its domineering physique and strength, Tyrannosaurus Rex is not afraid of even the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear of the same age.
In terms of pure strength, the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear is no match for the Tyrannosaurus Rex; it's just that it has greater destructive power.
The dragon's spine, bear's claws, and fox's tail are undoubtedly the most important parts of the corresponding soul beasts, and their soul bones are all astonishing.
Moreover, in Bibi Dong's opinion, this Tyrannosaurus Rex was even more powerful than described in the book.
His strength has reached a level that is simply beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Even though it was only a 30,000-year-old soul beast, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, both level 94 titled Douluo, were not only unable to kill it, but were also overwhelmed by its sheer force.
In the end, he had to take matters into his own hands and fight for several days before he was able to achieve a victory.
And luckily, they obtained this soul bone.
The only downside is its age.
A 30,000-year-old soul bone is a bit low for a Title Douluo aiming for the pinnacle, but its special characteristics are enough to make up for this shortcoming.
Judging from Qin Xu's appearance, it seems that he gained a defensive soul skill after absorbing the soul bone? But soon, Bibi Dong realized that she was wrong.
"Amplification-type Soul Skills".
Qin Xu clenched his dragon claws, which were covered in dragon scales, feeling the surging and abundant power, and a fierce and domineering ambition rose in his heart.
Even without his enhancement, this soul skill was already incredibly powerful; in fact, it was the most exquisite soul bone skill he had ever seen.
"The Soul Bone Skill is called: Dragon Armor of Power."
"When used, a layer of dragon scale armor is generated on the body surface, which can easily withstand his full-force attack. During the release of the soul skill, the user gains a 200% increase in strength, a 40% increase in constitution, and a 60% increase in all other attributes. The duration lasts until the user's health is exhausted."
Besides this, there is another mode. If one chooses to transform into a full-body dragon and activates full power, one can become a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, burning their life force beyond their limits. Except for strength, speed, and constitution, all attributes are increased by 150%. In this state, his strength increases by 600%, speed by 20%, and constitution by 100%. However, full power places a tremendous burden on the body. With Qin Xu's physique, this can only last for a maximum of 23 hours, with a one-hour cooldown period.
If it were a regular Soul Master's stats, a 30,000-year-old Soul Bone Skill with such an effect would only be considered a powerful Soul Skill, not a top-tier one.
But Qin Xu is a martial arts system and a soul master system, where one can cultivate both paths simultaneously!
His base stats far surpass those of ordinary Soul Masters!
In his normal physical state, Qin Xu's blood and qi martial arts techniques, unleashed through bursts of energy, are comparable to the soul skills released by others through their martial souls. Therefore, he essentially possesses an independent multiplier for amplifying his basic strength.
This is very scary.
Qin Xu guessed that if someone else had absorbed this soul bone, they wouldn't have obtained such amazing soul skill effects. The reason they were able to obtain such top-grade soul skills was inseparable from their physical martial arts and their own abundant blood and qi.
Furthermore, his physique is extremely abnormal, possessing the supreme original technique of refining blood into qi. The side effects of the Dragon Armor of Power are almost negligible for him.
Other Soul Masters would likely not last five minutes at full power, but for him, who has unlocked the Great Secret of the Human Body, he can fight for twenty-three hours.
"Awesome! That's amazing!"
Qin Xu was extremely satisfied and immediately took the matter of resolving Bibi Dong's current situation to heart.
"Evil thoughts, emotions, mind... these have nothing to do with mental strength, but they are related to the mental will in the concept of martial arts." Qin Xu recalled the process of deducing martial arts. The black seal had given him feedback, believing that the path of martial arts requires the simultaneous advancement of three aspects, of which the martial will is one.
The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm in the Mysterious Heaven Skill also has this kind of charm.
The will to fight can also be seen as a kind of mental will.
"Mental willpower is unrelated to spiritual strength. A person with strong spiritual strength may not necessarily have a strong mental will! Some people clearly have a spiritual attribute martial soul, so in theory they should have a strong spirit, but their style of doing things is very weak, hesitant, and fickle!"
Some people, though their mental strength may be average, possess an iron will and must have some method to temper their mind and will.
Qin Xu recalled a saying from his past life: "Whenever Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, exhaust their body, leave them destitute, and thwart their endeavors, so as to strengthen their resolve, temper their character, and increase their abilities."
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xu used this as a basis and wrote the eight characters "Initial Thoughts on the Seven Emotions Refining the Heart Method" on a roll of paper.
He wondered if he could use the negative emotions of the Rakshasa's divine power to refine his heart and turn waste into treasure?
Using the Black Seal to enhance deduction is merely a matter of content and assumption; it is impossible to deduce the path to cultivation, or it would require consuming a massive amount of good fortune.
Otherwise, Qin Ruins would have already deduced the "method of immortality".
Everything must have a beginning.
Furthermore, the more realistic the content and the more reasonable the goal, the less luck is consumed.
Qin Xu currently has only 5 points of good fortune left. If he wants to deduce the "Seven Emotions Refining Heart Method", he will undoubtedly need to collect more materials.

"Are you sure?" Bibi Dong stared intently at Qin Xu, hearing such a request for the first time.
"Come on. I want to experience that feeling again." Qin Xu placed the braised beef with blood and pork chops in a thick sauce on the table and carefully compared it with the host's dish.
Upon hearing Qin Xu's words, Bibi Dong subconsciously clenched her fists tightly. She had considered that Qin Xu might help her, but she hadn't expected him to use such an extreme method.
"Yesterday, I withdrew my power in time. If you come to bother me again..."
"I'll be back tomorrow, so please hurry," Qin Xu said earnestly. "I've been planning and researching this for a long time; it's not something I did on a whim."
Bibi Dong remained silent for a moment before finally agreeing to Qin Xu's request. However, a sliver of her attention remained focused on Qin Xu.
"This is for you." Qin Xu handed the lunchbox to Bibi Dong.
Although his martial soul is not a pure food-type martial soul, the first and third soul rings he absorbed both have the characteristics of food-type martial souls. After being strengthened, the vines of the Sun-Chasing Blood Vine have acquired certain medicinal properties, and their value exceeds that of ordinary medicinal herbs.
It will only slow down one's cultivation speed.
After being strengthened, it can play a significant role in treating Bibi Dong's injuries.
After Bibi Dong ate it, her complexion instantly became much rosier, but she didn't say anything.
Qin Xu didn't care. He knew that Bibi Dong had encountered a problem in her cultivation. In his opinion, this was called "going into a state of demonic possession," which was a very normal thing, so he didn't deduct points from her score.
That evening, Qin Xu arrived once again. This time, he brought lotus seed porridge to calm the nerves and cooked with blood-growth vine.
"Why withdraw your divine power?"
"You'll have nightmares." After a moment of silence, Bibi Dong looked at Qin Xu, whose face was serious but full of fatigue and whose eyes were bloodshot. Then, as if remembering something, her body stiffened again.
She clenched her fists again.
"You don't understand genius," Qin Xu said to her.
Bibi Dong drove him away and did not infuse him with the power of the Rakshasa.
So, from that day on, Qin Xu would visit Bibi Dong every day, asking her to give him the power of the Rakshasa god.
While Bibi Dong remained calm despite Qin Xu's seemingly haggard and erratic demeanor, her gaze lingered in a particular direction after Qin Xu left.
