"Oscar, Boss Dai, it's a day off! Let's go hang out!"
Just as the crowd was cheering, everyone turned their heads toward Ma Hongjun in unison.
With your trio's setup… where exactly are you planning to hang out?
Ma Hongjun immediately froze—oh no!
"Ma! Hong! Jun!" Flender roared. "You're not getting a day off! Come with me for extra training!"
"Ah—"
"Hm? One more word and we start now!"
"AHHH!!!"
Watching Ma Hongjun get "captured," everyone laughed and scattered cheerfully.
Diyi Hong declined Zhu Zhuqing's dual cultivation invitation and Ning Rongrong's offer to go shopping.
He returned to his dorm room.
Lying on the bed resting.
In reality, his attention was on the livestream room—but there were no new messages.
He tapped on [Group Chat: Anti-Tang San Alliance (6)].
Sure enough, they were spamming messages in there.
[["Phoenix God"]: Did the streamer really forget? He still hasn't brought it up.]
[["God of Speed"]: We've been reminding him all along. How could he not get the hint?]
[["Nine-Colored Goddess"]: Bold guess—could it be the streamer has guessed we placed a private bet?]
[["Rakshasa God"]: Not bold enough. Maybe the streamer is watching our chat right now?]
[["Nine-Colored Goddess"]: Huh? No way…]
[["Rakshasa God"]: This is his livestream room. It got upgraded—he's gotta have some admin access, right?]
[["God of Speed"]: …]
[["Phoenix God"]: …]
[["Nine-Colored Goddess"]: …]
Diyi Hong silently nodded.
As a villainess, the Rakshasa God's IQ was still high.
It's just that she was written with "romantic obsession," and fell for trash like Yu Xiaogang.
A complete flaw in character design.
Seeing the time was right—
Diyi Hong suddenly sprang up and slapped his forehead!
"Oh right, all you bigshots."
"Didn't you say if I beat up Tang San spectacularly, there'd be a grand prize?"
"Wasn't my performance worthy of some extra rewards?"
The next moment—
[["God of Speed"]: Hahaha! Streamer, you finally remembered!]
[["Phoenix God"]: I told you to ask for your rewards, remember?!]
[["Nine-Colored Goddess"]: According to the bet, the post-Shrek reward should be from…]
[User ["God King of Destruction 002"] sent gift: [Divine Armor: Mountain Dragon King's Left Arm] ×1]
Even though Diyi Hong had already known the prize, he still couldn't help grinning wide.
Mountain Dragon King!
That's the closest being to—or maybe even already—a God King!
Even just a part of this divine armor was no less valuable than the Angelic Sword and other divine artifacts.
[["God King of Destruction 002"]: This is the divine armor of the Mountain Dragon King, first among the Nine Dragon Kings. I severed his left arm when I killed him, then kept it as a trophy inside my inner world.]
[["God King of Destruction 002"]: You've performed well, and it matches your external soul bone on your left palm, so I'm giving it to you.]
Amid his joy, Diyi Hong keenly noticed a particular phrase—
"Inner world"?
[God King of Destruction 002]was currently in slumber and couldn't communicate with the outside.
Even if he could, he wouldn't go out of his way just to give a livestream tip.
So this "inner world" must be something like a "spiritual world," a personal realm linked to his own being.
Since it's a world, the size must be huge, right?
Then…
How many treasures does it contain?
Given how incredible just the Mountain Dragon King's arm is, everything stored must be of staggering quality.
This isn't just a fat sheep—this is a whole treasure vault!
And the God King of Destruction is asleep, with only this livestream as entertainment.
How could he not find a way to rob it blind?
"Thanks to Big Boss #2 for the tip!"
"Boss #2 is too generous!"
"Boss #2 will live long—no, live for an eternity!"
As he chanted—
Diyi Hong extracted [Mountain Dragon King's Left Arm], a dragon-scaled armguard severed cleanly at the shoulder, its mountainous dragon claws brimming with sheer might.
Clearly not a normal item!
He immediately equipped it.
Like the Phoenix Wings, it didn't require fusion—just equip and use.
Its age was temporarily suppressed to one million years and it granted a total of four soul bone skills!
—Soul Bone Skill: Gravity Suppression!
Controls gravity within range. The stronger the earth element affinity, the greater the control!
Because it was similar to Titan Giant Ape Left Palm's "Soul Bone Skill: Gravity Quagmire," the Mountain Dragon King's Left Arm directly "devoured" that skill, refining it into energy.
But since the arm's age already hit the limit—and its quality nearly matched a God King's—
That refined energy backflowed into the Titan Left Palm, boosting it to 150,000 years.
And the "Soul Bone Skill: Titan Sky Cannon," which also manipulated gravity, got a massive upgrade in power.
Truly an epic boost.
—Soul Bone Skill: Earth's Grace!
As long as he stands on solid ground, he'll receive constant regeneration.
This includes but isn't limited to stamina, soul power, spirit, life force, and willpower—
Anything a living being possesses will be restored!
In theory—
As long as Diyi Hong's usage doesn't exceed the regeneration limit, he'll be in a permanent "full energy" state.
He activated "Gravity Suppression," targeting the ground outside his window.
No consumption at all.
Until the gravity reached 57x normal, only then did it stop due to insufficient soul power cap.
—Still didn't reach Earth's Grace's replenishment limit!
"Holy sh*t!"
Doesn't this make him a stationary turret?
His fourth ring was already too high to spam due to cost—but now he could rapid-fire all day!
Very nice.
—Soul Bone Skill: Mountain River's Protection!
The mountains and rivers will shield you. Can summon earth's power to defend a designated area!
This skill has two modes:
Passive Protection: Like Gaara's sand, the earth itself will shield Diyi Hong;
Active Protection: Large-scale terrain elevation to shield a specific area;
Both defenses have little to do with Diyi Hong himself.
Their power comes from "Earth's Grace," essentially wielding a domain-level "control authority"!
As for the defense ceiling, it's unknown—but the floor is at least Titled Douluo.
Which means—
Even if he just stands there, non-Titled Douluos can't harm him.
Very satisfying!
—Soul Bone Skill: Mountain Dragon King's Blessing!
Immune to and able to control all mountain-type damage. If standing on the earth, half of all true damage will be absorbed by the ground!
Not only immune—he can even redirect it!
"Mountain-type" includes: earth, rock, gravel, sand, flowing soil, earth element…
Like that so-called genius Yan from the Golden Generation—his skills like Granite Blaze and Sandstorm Fury?
They'd be hijacked mid-cast when aimed at Diyi Hong.
As for the latter half—"damage shared by the ground," especially "true damage" after reduction—
Combined with "Mountain River's Protection," even trash-tier Titled Douluos like Poison Douluo might not even scratch him.
In short—
With the Mountain Dragon King's Left Arm, Diyi Hong's defenses maxed out!
Unless some assault-type Titled Douluo—say, Tang Hao—got close and shamelessly detonated his spirit rings.
Otherwise, with so many divine senses watching over him, who in the Douluo Continent could even hurt him?
He could probably blow up Spirit Hall and walk away unscathed!
Diyi Hong grinned so wide his mouth nearly reached his ears.
[["God King of Destruction 002"]: Pleased, streamer? I hand-picked it just for you.]
[["God King of Destruction 002"]: Now you can go stir up trouble worry-free. I want to see some big events.]
"Haha! You got it! Say no more!" Diyi Hong agreed happily.
It's decided!
During the Elite Tournament—let's blow up Spirit Hall for fun!
