Diary System—Chapter 151: Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python, Exploding Step & Octane Blast!
Dai Yichen said in a deep voice: "This is a Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python. Although it is a hybrid dragon species, its defensive characteristics make it very feared by sub-dragon species of the same level. This horn is about one meter long, indicating it has been cultivated for roughly two thousand years. It is very suitable as Dugu Yan's third soul ring."
Dugu Bo heard this and looked at Dai Yichen with a hint of surprise. They couldn't see the Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python in the distance, but Dai Yichen's affirmation showed that his mental power was not weak; otherwise, he couldn't describe it so accurately.
And he did sense a slight mental fluctuation from Dai Yichen just now. This little guy has a lot of secrets!
As if sensing Dugu Bo's gaze, Dai Yichen glanced at him subtly and raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.
He estimated that Dugu Bo had sensed something. However, it was precisely because of Dugu Bo's good character that he dared to release his mental perception.
"Ahem." Dugu Bo didn't expect his observation to be discovered. Feeling a little embarrassed, he looked at Dugu Yan and said, "Yanyan, Dai Yichen is right. The Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python about 60 meters ahead is indeed very suitable for your third soul ring, but..."
Dugu Bo's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment. Due to the characteristics of the Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python, he couldn't engage in close combat with it. If he tried to poison it from a distance, he was afraid he might accidentally kill the beast.
Although the Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python is resistant to poison, he is a Titled Douluo, and the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison is not something that this two-thousand-year-old soul beast could resist.
Most importantly, the final blow needed to be delivered by his granddaughter. But with her current Jade Phosphor Serpent venom, it probably wouldn't have much effect on the beast. If she used physical attacks, she risked injury again.
This is why the Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python, despite being a mixed dragon species, is feared—it's too troublesome to hunt!
Dai Yichen seemed to perceive Dugu Bo's worries. Now, there's a significant distance from Sunset Forest. If Dugu Bo used his power and caused the toxins in his body to break out prematurely, it would be disastrous.
The reason Dugu Bo had remained safe over the past month and didn't need to rely on the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to suppress his toxins was largely because he hadn't exerted his strength much.
"Let me handle this soul beast, but the final blow still needs to be done by Dugu Yan," Dai Yichen said lightly.
"Yichen, didn't you say that the Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python can counterattack? And it's poisonous, you..." Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Yichen with a bit of worry.
She knew Dai Yichen had long-range attack methods, but his main fighting style was melee physical combat. So, he would inevitably come into contact with the Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python.
"Don't worry, Zhuqing. My martial soul allows me to armor myself. Even if I suffer a counterattack, the poison shouldn't penetrate," Dai Yichen gently touched Zhu Zhuqing's head, causing her face to turn slightly red.
Dugu Bo coughed twice and said: "Just in case, take this detoxification pill first."
A round, green pill appeared in Dugu Bo's hand.
Dai Yichen saw it, nodded, and ate it without hesitation. With the detoxification pill as a safeguard, there was no need to risk being poisoned, right?
Dugu Bo glanced at Dai Yichen with some surprise but said nothing. Did this kid trust him a little?
Seeing Dugu Bo's doubt, Dai Yichen said calmly: "Senior Dugu Bo, I trust your character. Dugu Yan and I are classmates, and I can help you solve this problem. You don't need to poison me now, right?"
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. What kind of character could he have?
Before Dugu Bo could answer, he looked at Dugu Yan beside him: "Dugu Yan, get ready. The battle will be over soon."
Afterward, Dai Yichen stepped forward slowly. With each step, shadows of armor appeared on various parts of his body, enveloping him instantly.
Just watching his back, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes sparkled, and she murmured: "Yichen is so handsome."
Dugu Bo: …
This is a pretentious act—he gives full marks.
However, he also learned a lot about Dai Yichen's armament during this period. When he awakened his martial soul, he needed to shake it before opening the armor. Now, it seemed he could do it instantly with just a thought.
This isn't just showing off but also a display of momentum!
"Let's go too. Follow behind me so we won't be in danger," Dugu Bo said calmly, hands behind his back, walking slowly.
Roar!
When Dai Yichen approached the Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python, it felt a powerful sense of oppression. Its scales instantly tightened, and it stared at Dai Yichen with cold eyes.
Although the Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python has a rare anti-injury trait, it also has a disadvantage: it's very slow. So, generally, when facing enemies, they rarely run away, because they simply can't.
With the current level of powerhouses in the Douluo Continent, even a Soul Ancestor wouldn't be able to kill a two-thousand-year-old Poison Armor Rhinoceros Python because, to kill it, you needed to have a constitution that could resist damage reflection!
Even if you can kill it, you might lose half your life—like killing a thousand beasts and injuring yourself by eight hundred.
In the original work, Dugu Yan wouldn't have been able to absorb its soul ring, since the two-thousand-year-old Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python slightly exceeds the ideal age. Dugu Yan's first two soul rings are control and auxiliary types, which don't greatly enhance her physical attributes.
However, with the whale glue effect, Dugu Yan now qualifies to absorb it.
Faced with the vigilance of the Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python, Dai Yichen merely looked at it coldly. His eyes behind the goggles turned golden.
Spirit Eyes!
Now, he could see every move of the Poison Armored Rhinoceros Python more clearly—as if in slow motion.
Since his White Tiger Armor was worn directly on his body, and he had stronger, more precise control over his martial soul and soul power, he could control and release two martial souls simultaneously without switching.
He didn't learn how to use two martial souls from the system but succeeded through practice.
After all, it still depends on one's control!
Exploding Step!
Octane Blast!
This move involves gathering all the strength in your palms by rushing forward. The motion resembles climbing and scratching a mountain, combining upward lifting and forward collision forces. Now, with a sudden burst of exploding steps, the power of this attack is elevated to a new level!
