...
However, everything comes at a price.
Looking at the earth-shaking scene in the distance, Gu Rong shook his head.
"Maintaining the Martial Soul True Body state consumes an extremely high amount of energy and spirit from a Soul Master.
Once the state is broken, the resulting weakness is very troublesome, requiring at least several days, or even half a month, to recover.
Therefore, most Soul Masters above level 70 would rather use the mana-intensive eighth or even ninth Soul Skill than easily activate their Martial Soul True Body.
In the ironclad rule of the Soul Master world—once the Martial Soul True Body is activated, in most cases, it can be considered a life-or-death struggle!"
At this point, Gu Rong's eyes became extremely complicated: "However, the power amplification that Xuan Hao is currently unleashing... has clearly far exceeded the 100% limit of a top-tier martial soul!"
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and speculation about what kind of heaven-defying soul skill Xuan Hao had obtained, Na'er, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly spoke in a calm tone.
"Actually, the basic amplification brought by his seventh spirit ring is only one hundred percent."
Na'er blinked her clear purple eyes, looking at the hundred-meter-long golden dragon in the distance, and methodically dismantled Xuan Hao's trump card:
"However, while activating his Martial Soul True Body, brother also secretly activated his Golden Dragon Body."
Amidst the instantly wide-eyed stares of everyone, Na'er gave that utterly outrageous answer:
"These two states are perfectly compatible, resulting in a cumulative amplification.
In other words, his current power increase is almost equivalent to doubling again on top of the doubling of his Martial Soul True Body!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, Ning Rongrong, and the others were all dumbfounded.
The entire scene fell into a deathly silence, with Na'er's words echoing wildly in everyone's minds.
On top of doubling... doubling again?!
That means a critical hit four times the base strength?!
What the hell is this rogue algorithm?!
Just as everyone was stunned by this rogue algorithm that "doubles and doubles again," Dugu Yan seemed to suddenly remember something, and her already shocked expression changed drastically.
Her emerald green eyes widened, her voice even becoming shrill with shock:
"Wait! If I remember correctly... Xuan Hao's fourth soul skill, that Golden Dragon Rampage Domain, that thing seems to be an extremely abnormal group and single-target amplification soul skill, right?!
Na'er, the amplification brought by that domain, it can't be... stacked on so recklessly, can it?!"
Faced with Dugu Yan's ghost-like gaze, Na'er nodded calmly, giving her an affirmative answer:
"Yes, you can."
"hiss--!"
Upon hearing this, even the well-informed Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and Yu Yuanzhen, who stood not far away with a gloomy face, were all completely dumbfounded.
Are you kidding me?!
In the common knowledge of the Soul Master world, any attribute-enhancing skill is an extremely dangerous double-edged sword for the Soul Master's body! While bringing great power, it will inevitably place an extremely terrifying burden on the Soul Master's physical body and meridians.
The reason why Soul Masters experience an extremely weak and prolonged recovery period after activating their Martial Soul True Form is due to the severe aftereffects of this sudden 100% increase in all their attributes!
The greater the increase, the greater the load!
This is an irrefutable truth.
A top-tier Soul Master who receives a 100% boost will undoubtedly become extremely powerful in combat.
However, if this surge in power exceeds the limits that the body can withstand, the Soul Master's physical body will collapse directly!
The principle is simple, just like the ironclad law of physics that Xuan Hao used to often mention—forces are reciprocal.
Your strength has doubled with the amplification of your soul skill, but your bone hardness, muscle density, and the resilience of your internal organs will not increase proportionally and infinitely with your strength!
When you unleash a terrifying punch far exceeding your own limits to strike someone, the recoil from that force will also strike you hard!
When you hit someone else, you are essentially hitting yourself.
If you forcibly amplify your power by several times or even multiple times, and the force you unleash completely exceeds the limits of your own body, then before you kill your enemy, your own arm will shatter into pieces because it cannot withstand the terrifying backlash, ultimately leading to the complete collapse of your physical body!
Therefore, no Soul Master would dare to recklessly and excessively stack various top-tier amplification Soul Skills onto themselves.
That's not killing the enemy, that's pure suicide!
However, seeing the incredulous expressions on the faces of the three Title Douluos, Na'er tilted her head slightly and, in the most matter-of-fact tone, ruthlessly shattered their common sense:
"Everyone, don't worry about your brother suffering a backlash.
Because the strength of your brother's physical body cannot be measured by human standards."
Na'er looked at the raging hundred-meter-long golden dragon, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes:
"Even with this kind of completely unreasonable geometric amplification, my brother's body can easily withstand it!"
At this point, Na'er turned her head and even glanced at Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong beside her.
"Not to mention, with my brother currently in his Martial Soul True Body state, his blood and bones are in an extremely powerful and ferocious state.
Even at this moment... if the top-tier support-type Soul Master were to unleash all their amplification skills on him, his body would still be able to absorb them all perfectly without any risk of collapse!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the entire edge of the valley fell into a deathly silence.
Ning Fengzhi opened his mouth, his hand gripping the scepter tightening slightly, but he couldn't utter a single syllable.
Gu Rong and Dugu Bo looked at each other, their shock completely replaced by numbness.
Even Yu Yuanzhen, who was not far away, had his eyes and mouth twitching wildly.
What the hell kind of freak is this?!
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the crater that had been smashed open, the mighty level 88 Soul Douluo Yu Luomian was still fighting back with all his might.
Unfortunately, all resistance was in vain.
Size suppression, strength suppression, plus that unreasonable and absolute bloodline suppression!
At this moment, under Xuan Hao's claws, which had transformed into a hundred-meter-long golden dragon, Yu Luomian was just like a three-year-old child whose head was being held down by a strong adult man, completely powerless to resist.
The feeling was like the king of beasts, the tiger, casually slapping a ruffled kitten.
No matter how much the kitten bared its teeth and howled furiously, it appeared so comical and hopeless in the face of the absolute difference in size and strength.
Watching helplessly as his sect's second-in-command was being rubbed and tortured like an eel in a pit, looking utterly pathetic, Yu Yuanzhen, standing at a distance, finally couldn't hold back his emotions any longer.
His rage was almost bursting forth uncontrollably.
He abruptly turned his head, his bloodshot old eyes fixed on Ning Fengzhi, and said through gritted teeth, word by word, "Sect Master Ning, I really can't stand by and watch any longer.
If I were to personally step in today and 'spar' with this junior Xuan Hao, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... wouldn't forcibly stop me, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze lingering on the dark golden dragon in the distance for a moment.
Then, he smiled elegantly, made a "please" gesture, and said in a gentle but impeccable tone:
"Sect Master Yu is too kind.
Since this is an elder 'instructing' a junior, we, as guests, naturally have no reason to interfere. However...
Xuan Hao is still young after all, and we hope that Sect Master Yu will be careful when he makes his move."
In fact, the reason Ning Fengzhi agreed so readily was because they were also eager to know just how strong Xuan Hao's current combat power was!
This 100-meter-tall Martial Soul True Body, which is an anomaly in size, and the "rogue superposition algorithm" that Na'er just mentioned, which completely defies the laws of physics and is inconceivable, are all things I have never seen before.
If we don't find a sufficiently powerful test to examine him, no one will know what kind of terrifying monster this kid really is.
And the level 95 Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen is undoubtedly the most perfect touchstone at present!
