Chapter 493 - Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth (2/2)

“Okay.” Tang Wulin urged his blood essence. Golden scales manifested on his body and two golden rings appeared around him. “Take a look.”

His first soul ring lit up and the golden scales became finer and more lustrous. Then he lit up the second ring. Tang Wulin was helpless to activate the skill any other way, stuck using Golden Dragon Body first, which increased his blood essence consumption significantly.

The scales on his body shone with a dazzling light, miniature mirrors each and every one of them. Two seconds later, the shining faded.

“That’s it. All it does is make me shiny for a couple of seconds. And it consumes a lot of blood essence. I have no idea how I’m supposed to use it. Nothing happens to my blood essence or soul power apart from them being consumed. I can’t attack with it either.”

After some thought, Na’er said, “What about defense? Did anything change about your defense?”

Tang Wulin’s eyes went blank as he searched within himself. Defense? I never thought about that! He had been too focused on improving his attack power. That was natural, since even his bluesilver grass’ functionality was mainly crowd control. Maybe it really is a defense skill?

“I didn’t feel any changes to my defense though.”

“Well, let’s test it out first,” Na’er said.

“Alright.” But Tang Wulin’s interest was waning. Even if it were a defense skill, he couldn’t see how it would be useful or increase his combat power.

He roused his blood essence once more and used the second blood essence soul skill. Again, his scales shone brightly.

Na’er summoned her spear into her hand in a flash of light. She swung the spear at his stomach without any hesitation.

Tang Wulin’s lit scales flashed. As soon as that happened, Na’er felt a sucking force on her, the blood essence within her raging as it rushed out to be absorbed by Tang Wulin. After absorbing the blood essence, Tang Wulin shone even brighter. He felt the whole action keenly, the energy behind Na’er’s attack being drained to empower him, his own blood essence boiling with strength in the process.

A dragon roared deep within him and he subconsciously directed a palm of Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens toward the sky. The roar thundered, a phantom dragon head on the cusp of being tangible bursting out his open palm. Tang Wulin noticed the radiance of his body dim, but this Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens he released was four times more powerful than normal. W-what happened? Na’er’s attack didn’t hurt at all!

Na’er examined him pensively. “It looks like it’s more than just a defense skill.”

It occured to Tang Wulin after finishing Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens that not only was it far more destructive, it also consumed less energy and was released faster than usual. Is it some sort of support skill?

“Big Brother, can you use it again?” Na’er asked.

“Yeah. I should be able to.”

“Okay. Let’s try it again then.”

“Got it!” Tang Wulin’s second golden ring lit up on command.

Instead of swinging her spear this time, Na’er thrust it hard. It pierced through the air like a lightning bolt, straight for Tang Wulin’s right arm where the scales were thickest.

Upon impact, Tang Wulin’s scales flashed brightly once more. Rather than facing the sky this time, he spun around and stomped on the ground. Eight phantom dragons burst from below him. Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth.
