Douluo—Chapter 56: Shock! The Second Ability of the Painted Halberd is Activated, and the Strange External Soul Bone Appears
Facing the domineering spear light that seemed capable of destroying mountains and rivers, the thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, despite its limited IQ, instinctively sensed the immense power contained within. A solemn expression flashed across its originally ferocious eyes.
Aww! The bear roared to the sky, its voice shaking the four fields. Its massive body suddenly rose, with two thick front paws raised high. In an instant, the dark golden light on its claws surged, resembling burning dark gold flames.
It used all its strength to strike the golden-red spear light.
Boom!
A deafening roar erupted. The ground beneath their feet trembled slightly, and billowing smoke and dust rose, obscuring everyone's sight.
A powerful shockwave radiated outward from the collision point in all directions.
Nearby trees snapped in half like fragile straws, startling countless flying birds.
At the same time,
Starting from the point where Dai Chengfeng's halberd tip struck the ground, a deep crack spread like a winding dragon toward the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
"Hiss!"
Ye Renxin, standing beside him, looked at the fissure blasted by pure power. He subconsciously inhaled a cold breath, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
'I've never truly understood Dai Chengfeng, the Fourth Prince!'
'I thought he was powerful before, but facing a terrifying soul beast like the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, even if he eventually wins, it must involve cooperation with Lingling, and a tragic, bitter battle, surviving a near-death ordeal to emerge victorious.'
'But now…'
'First, the second soul ring of the thousand-year-old, and now this terrifying halberd…'
At this moment, Ye Renxin's mind drifted to Tang Chen, whom he had met that year. He thought: Even Tang Chen, known as the invincible on land—whose martial soul was the world's number one weapon martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, the symbol of absolute power—
When he was young, he didn't possess such terrifying strength, right?
Is this domineering, powerful self-created soul skill that can split mountains truly a spear art?
Ye Renxin doubted his understanding of everything he'd learned over the past decades.
'The hammer represents strength... Could it be that my understanding over the past few decades has been wrong?!'
Behind Dai Chengfeng, Ye Lingling's expression was complicated, her eyes filled with admiration.
'The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, which was originally extremely terrifying in my heart, no longer seems invincible in front of him…'
For a moment,
Ye Lingling's heart surged with admiration as she looked at Dai Chengfeng's back.
Only Zhu Fan remained unphased.
He looked at Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling's shocked expressions, lifted his head proudly, and chuckled.
"Chengfeng, just now I thought you meant to resolve the battle within a minute, but I didn't expect you to say one move!"
Hearing this, Dai Chengfeng shook his head slightly, still serious, eyes fixed on the smoke-filled battlefield.
"It's not over yet, so it doesn't count as a move."
After saying that, he raised the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his right hand.
With a slight wrist movement, the halberd tip drew a beautiful arc in the air, all in one go.
Instantly, a strong gust of wind swept up from him, quickly dispersing the surrounding smoke and dust.
What appeared before everyone was the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, which had just been extremely violent.
But now, it has lost its previous majesty.
The once dark gold fur was stained dark red with blood, and a shocking wound stretched across its back, running through its body.
Blood trickled out, pooling beneath it, dyeing the ground a deep crimson.
Lying on the ground, dying.
Dai Chengfeng looked at the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear with a calm expression and slowly approached.
As he moved step by step, the dim light in the bear's eyes suddenly ignited with a trace of violence and anger.
It struggled weakly, trying to get up, but was powerless, only managing a feeble roar.
Dai Chengfeng paid no attention, walking in front of the bear. He slowly extended his left hand, pressing it on the beast's head. There was no arrogance in his eyes—no victorious aura.
"You are a good opponent. I've almost played all my cards..."
Hearing Dai Chengfeng's words,
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, which had been so violent moments ago, seemed to understand. It roared weakly in response.
The ferocity in its eyes gradually faded, replaced by a kind of relief, and it closed its eyes with exhaustion.
"Although you are a soul beast, dying in battle is also a kind of honor... Let me send you off!"
Dai Chengfeng's voice was low. As he spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand, lifting the Fangtian Painted Halberd high, then used all his strength to pierce it fiercely into the bear's heart.
Instantly, a gush of blood erupted.
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's vitality was completely extinguished.
At this moment, something strange happened.
The Fangtian Painted Halberd in Dai Chengfeng's hand suddenly flashed red, dazzlingly bright.
Immediately afterward, the blood of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, as if pulled by an invisible force, continuously gathered toward the halberd.
Simultaneously,
Mysterious red runes lit up on the broken moon blade of the Fangtian Painted Halberd.
Dai Chengfeng was surprised to see that the broken moon blades seemed to slowly recover, grow, and heal as the dark gold blood flowed into them.
'Absorbing blood to repair?!'
Dai Chengfeng's eyes lit up.
He thought that after this battle, the Fangtian Painted Halberd might change, but witnessing this scene made him feel even more surprised.
'Is this the second core ability? Self-blood-sucking repair.'
'If the broken parts of the painted halberd are fully repaired in the future, does that mean…'
'The other two cores can be activated?'
A strong anticipation surged in Dai Chengfeng's heart.
Previously, he had always guessed that the reason he couldn't figure out how to study the Fangtian Painted Halberd was because of its broken and incomplete state.
Only the core of the halberd handle, which was relatively intact, could be used.
And if the second core's ability was self-blood-sucking repair, then theoretically, it could repair other cores by blood-sucking!
Such a semi-artifact—future prospects are truly exciting!
Dai Chengfeng smiled, shook his head, and his eyes burned with passion.
Soon, the dark gold Fear Claw Bear in front of him had been reduced to only bones—flesh and blood completely gone—turning into ashes.
A gentle breeze blew, dispersing the ashes into the air like quicksand.
In the place where the beast had fallen, a lavender soul ring and a dark golden glowing bone remained...
"External soul bone!"
Dai Chengfeng's eyes widened with surprise.
As the prince of the Star Luo Empire, he had a deep understanding of soul bones.
He was certain that the soul bone before him was not an ordinary arm, leg, or torso bone, but an extremely rare external soul bone.
However, what puzzled him was...
This was not an arm soul bone!
"If the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear didn't drop an arm soul bone, then what is it?"
Dai Chengfeng frowned slightly, eyes full of curiosity.
But he soon relaxed, recalling that he planned to give this first external soul bone to Ye Lingling.
He turned his head to speak—
But Ye Renxin took the lead.
"Your Highness Chengfeng, do you remember what I said before I left the city?"
