"Dragon Bone?"
Wang Linchi was a little puzzled. This item was a Natural Treasure, known as a Dragon Bone. It was, quite literally, the bone of a dragon. The problem was that there were no such creatures as dragons in the Beast Garden Secret Realm. Even if there had been, they wouldn't be special creatures formed due to reproductive isolation from other beasts.
Was it more likely a relic from the world that existed before the Beast God?
This item had only one function: to be offered as a sacrifice to the Secret Realm itself in exchange for sufficient time to stay.
Furthermore, the Dragon Bone Wang Linchi had obtained wasn't complete. It was merely a dragon's head, yet it was so enormous that digging it out had almost exhausted the Saint Master. The Dragon Bone itself was incredibly hard; the Saint Master's claws left no mark on it.
How am I supposed to carry this thing? Wang Linchi was somewhat speechless.
It was difficult enough just to move it, let alone fit it into his Storage space, which wasn't even as large as the dragon's skull.
After a thorough inspection, Wang Linchi finally found the most crucial component: the Dragon Ball. It had transformed into a stone-like object, firmly embedded within the skull.
Seeing this, Wang Linchi reached out to try. The dragon's skull shouldn't be the main point; this Dragon Ball is what matters. I need to find a way to remove it... take it off?
Wang Linchi looked at the Dragon Ball he had so easily pried off, now resting in his hand, his expression one of utter disbelief. He had never imagined he could remove it so simply. Logically, it should have been impossible.
Instantly, the entire massive dragon skull crumbled, disintegrating so quickly that Wang Linchi, who was still inside, didn't even have time to escape before it turned to dust.
As his hand touched the remains, the analysis from his Thought Field revealed that the calcium, which had originally contained some form of energy, had now completely lost it. This was just a pile of ordinary bone dust; at most, its structure was unusual.
Wang Linchi carefully separated the soil from the bone dust, then collected about a ton of it. He didn't collect a large volume, mainly because the bone dust itself was very dense.
The Dragon Ball, it seemed, had absorbed the power of the Dragon Bone, transforming from a Natural Treasure into a Soul Device.
[Dragon Ball]
[Quality: Legendary Level]
[Dragon Vein: Luck +50%]
[Stabilize Luck: When Luck fluctuates downwards, it will not fall below your base Luck.]
[Rebirth: Long-term wear increases spiritual Potential, limit 10 (0/10)]
[Bone Change: Long-term wear increases physique Potential, limit 10 (0/10)]
[Easy Tendon Change: Long-term wear increases cultivation Potential, limit 10 (0/10)]
[Marrow Washing: Long-term wear increases soul Potential, limit 10 (0/10)]
[Unparalleled: When all Potentials are fully enhanced, for a Soul Resemblance with a base Potential of less than 8, Potential positions +1 (0/1)]
This thing is quite interesting, Wang Linchi couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. A nurturing Soul Device that increased Potential and could also add Potential positions. He had already given up on matters related to Potential positions, so he hadn't expected to encounter such an item again.
So, did I get this because I'm lucky, or did the Beast God deliberately leave it for me? Wang Linchi felt his Luck was excessively good... well, perhaps it was quite normal. He possessed at least five hundred strands of Blessing, augmented by the Stabilize Luck effect, so he had been consistently lucky since entering the Secret Realm.
If I add the Dragon Vein effect to this, won't I have over seven hundred strands of Blessing?
Even if Luck and Blessing weren't the same attribute, they could amplify each other, much like speed and agility; attributes enhancing agility also correspondingly increased speed.
Isn't this Dragon Ball an excellent vessel for the Beast Soul I possess?
Although the Dragon Ball was a Soul Device, it was essentially a raw material from a beast. Before the Beast God, this dragon might have been of a dragon attribute, but within the Beast Garden Secret Realm, it was classified as a beast attribute. That was the rule.
Therefore, if he combined the Roaring Beast Soul in his possession with this Dragon Ball, the resulting Beast Armour Technique would undoubtedly be extraordinary.
It's just that I'm a bit reluctant to settle.
If there hadn't been the Dragon Ball, Wang Linchi would have just made do with Screaming to the sky. But now that he had the Dragon Ball, he felt it would be a waste to just make do.
I feel like I've been schemed against by the Beast God, Wang Linchi's eye twitched.
If Screaming to the sky was already this powerful, what about The Most Ancient Beast? Combined with the Dragon Ball, the Beast Armour Technique it formed would undoubtedly be top-tier.
So, did the Beast God actually die... or not? Wang Linchi sighed.
I might as well go all in. If I don't fight for it now, I'll die in five years anyway.
There was a 90% chance the matter of the Great Ruins was true. The remaining 10% was likely the Beast God deceiving him. However, considering the Heavenly Demon's frenzied actions after entering the Great View, Wang Linchi couldn't see why the Beast God would bother to deceive him for no reason.
The Most Ancient Beast is indeed a tough challenge.
Wang Linchi knew its location, but it wasn't close. Even if the Saint Master carried him day and night, it would still take a month. That creature lived in the sea, and he was traveling from the interior. The large-scale Secret Realm was already vast, and while the Saint Master could fly, it wasn't its specialty, so the journey would be long.
Subsequently, Wang Linchi began learning the Beast Armour Technique while diligently focusing on his Cultivation to elevate his spiritual power to the first transformation of Black Iron as quickly as possible. He also continued to study the Dragon Ball.
All this was done atop the Saint Master. The Saint Master's body was already immense, large enough for Wang Linchi to sit cross-legged on its shoulder to cultivate. Its primary development was its Physique, so its size would naturally increase with Growth. Unless Wang Linchi found a method for the Saint Master to shrink or adjust its size, it wouldn't likely remain limited to its current dimensions.
Wang Linchi wasn't worried; once stored in the Book of Soul Resonance, the Saint Master would just be a Ghost Pattern anyway.
Multitasking like this is a bit of a brain-drain, Wang Linchi thought as he continuously stacked various auxiliary Soul Devices and stuffed all sorts of resources into his mouth as supplements.
There were three paths to becoming stronger: using Plug ins, Charging Money, and patient accumulation. Protagonists used Plug ins, major factions used Charging Money, and those at the bottom could only accumulate slowly.
Wang Linchi was different; he was pursuing all three concurrently. His Plug ins were the Soul Kind, the Soul Forging Method, and other techniques he had created. This, combined with the accumulation from 'Charging Money'—investing vast resources—made his rapid progress natural.
When carried, the Dragon Ball releases a certain power that can further improve the carrier's Potential. Once the transformation is complete and all conditions are met, all this Potential will be compressed to form the so-called 'Potential position.' Therefore, I don't need to let the Dragon Ball enhance my Potential step-by-step; instead, I need to analyze this ability and clearly understand the compression process.
The reason for this was simple: relying solely on the Dragon Ball's enhancement would, at most, increase his Potential positions from 4 to 5. However, if he could understand the underlying principle, he could potentially increase his Potential positions from 4 to 8. The only drawback was the need for sufficient resources, as the Dragon Ball definitely couldn't sustain such consumption.
Doing so would likely render the Dragon Ball's last five abilities useless. But it was all worth it. As for whether disabling the last five abilities of the Dragon Ball would affect the Beast Armour Technique, it wouldn't. This 'disabled' state meant the enhancement caps for the last five abilities would be maxed out because he was extracting their core essence, even though he wouldn't experience their gradual Potential-enhancing effects. This was inherent to their function; he was simply extracting their power prematurely.
Is something missing from the Dragon Ball? Could it be the Dragon Soul? If so, a complete Dragon Ball should be Mythology Level.
As Wang Linchi delved deeper into his research of the Dragon Ball, he began to notice many things.
The Dragon Vein and Stabilize Luck are the Dragon Ball's original abilities. The latter five abilities likely arose because the absence of a Dragon Soul to suppress its power caused energy to leak. This leaked energy, once the Dragon Ball was assimilated as a Soul Device, was then channeled to the carrier, granting the abilities to enhance Potential and Potential positions.
With further in-depth analysis, Wang Linchi quickly pieced together the relevant information. Aided by his Thought Field, Soul Vision, and sufficient spiritual power, he finally began to unravel some of the operational principles of the Dragon Ball Soul Device.
Wang Linchi attempted to block the Dragon Ball's energy leakage using a Soul Shield.
Indeed, after blocking it, the Dragon Ball's latter five abilities became disabled. Wang Linchi once again inspected the Dragon Ball, now a Soul Device, through his Soul Resemblance. The word 'disabled' appeared directly for the last five abilities.
The energy within the Dragon Ball is limited; it cannot indefinitely enhance an Awakener's Potential. I'm its first owner, which is why it has the ability to enhance Potential positions for me. After I've fully absorbed its power, the Dragon Ball's quality will downgrade to Epic Level. It seems I can't extract too much energy for research. Otherwise, once it downgrades to Epic Level quality, it will affect the Dragon Vein ability.
Wang Linchi highly valued the Dragon Vein ability. As for Stabilize Luck, that ability wasn't crucial because his Saint Master's Substitute also possessed it. An additional affix might strengthen the suppression effect, but it would merely be icing on the cake, not adding fuel to the flames.
With such a high amount of Blessing, can I find the Dragon Soul?
If he could find the Dragon Soul and complete the Dragon Ball, restoring not just Dragon Vein and Stabilize Luck but also the other potential effects, it would undoubtedly become an incredibly powerful Mythology Level Soul Device—precisely the kind of raw material Wang Linchi coveted.
