121: Chapter 121 The First Lifebound Battle Skill 121: Chapter 121 The First Lifebound Battle Skill With the sample in hand, Zhao Guang could not tell whether it was good or bad.
“Forget it, I’ll just take it to Ocoro later to have a look, since we had already talked about making art with this kind of stuff,” Zhao Guang said as he casually tossed the box aside, no longer paying attention to it.
In the following days, Zhao Guang spent every day learning and practicing; his life was incredibly fulfilling.
And on this day, Zhao Guang finally felt that his Combat Energy had completely eroded the entire armor, and his first Lifebound Battle Skill was about to be completed.
Feeling this, Zhao Guang was overjoyed.
His first thought was that he could finally take a good bath.
If he continued , people would soon start seeing him as some kind of freak.
Without a second thought, after taking a painkiller, Zhao Guang dashed to the Otherworld.
He arrived at the Hard-haired Pig’s home and, ignoring the Hard-haired Pig’s protests, he put a cloth over its head and shooed it out the door.
Don’t even think about coming in before I leave, or you can forget about getting any cloth,” he warned.
Chagrined by Zhao Guang’s overwhelming force, the Hard-haired Pig snorted a few times, but had no choice but to stay outside.
At this moment, Zhao Guang was taking the stance for the Micro Light Breathing Method.
After completing two cycles, he began to concentrate according to the method for condensing his Lifebound Battle Skill.
For a warrior, only a Lifebound Battle Skill would have runes, and these were entirely different from those of a Mage’s skills.
In an instant, the essence of Combat Energy within the runes was released by Zhao Guang and instantly permeated the entire armor.
In Zhao Guang’s perception, he could feel something merging into the armor.
Moreover, this something was connected to his consciousness, and he could clearly feel everything about the armor.
Next, Zhao Guang began to slowly circulate the Combat Energy within his body and then absorb the released essence.
However, this time, as he absorbed it, some special substance was adhering to the essence and was pulled back by his Combat Energy.
If someone had been outside, they would have seen Zhao Guang’s armor gradually becoming dusty.
The Titanium Alloy armor was slowly turning into dust, falling off his body.
And this process was accelerating; in less than ten minutes, the entire armor had turned completely to dust, revealing Zhao Guang’s discolored skin and moldy clothes.
A strong smell of stale salted fish began to emanate from Zhao Guang’s body.
The Hard-haired Pig at the door suddenly seemed to sense something, sniffing the air.
But all of a sudden, with a vacant look in its eyes and a scream, it turned tail and ran, not even caring about the cloth anymore.
Luckily, there were no other animals around, or they would have experienced what a biological weapon was.
After a long while, Zhao Guang opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed briefly in them.
“Very good, very good, my Lifebound Battle Skill is finally complete, and my Combat Energy is even purer.
Now, I am invincible.
No one can hurt me again,” Zhao Guang roared with laughter.
But the next moment, Zhao Guang noticed something off about the smell around him.
It seemed that as his strength had increased, his numbed sense of smell had instantly recovered.
Zhao Guang hurriedly covered his nose: “Damn it, what’s this smell?
Is it coming from me?
No way, I need to go wash right now,” he said, no longer caring to test his new power and rushing back instead.
Only after scrubbing himself five times did Zhao Guang stop, convinced there was no more odor on him.
Even with the current toughness of his skin, Zhao Guang still scrubbed until his skin turned red.
If anyone else tried to bathe , they’d probably scrub their skin off.
Having triple-checked that there was no smell remaining, Zhao Guang turned on the ventilation fan, opened all the windows in the house, and then walked out.
“Feeling light with nothing to worry about, I’ve finally finished.
If I ever train in a Defense Type Lifebound Battle Skill again, I’m a pig.”
Zhao Guang planted a flag, then switched to another room to begin testing his transformation.
After all, since he’d trained in Defense Type Battle Skill, some natural changes had occurred.
While bathing, Zhao Guang had already felt that his skin had become noticeably tougher.
Although it felt the same to the touch, the hardness was definitely incomparable to before.
After some thought, Zhao Guang gritted his teeth and took up a needle to start poking himself.
To the unknowing observer, it looked as if he was self-harming.
After a long while, Zhao Guang stopped, “Regular defense is still pretty good, harder than tanned cowhide.
A normal knife slicing into me should only manage to break the skin a bit,” he said, quite satisfied with the result.
Next, Zhao Guang began to stimulate his Lifebound Battle Skill, Solid Wall Armor.
In an instant, a special force burst forth, forming a layer of silvery-grey light over Zhao Guang’s body.
His entire being seemed to have changed color, appearing metallic.
A profound sense of security washed over him in that moment.
Filled with a sense of fortuitous insight, Zhao Guang grabbed a kitchen knife and slashed at himself.
With a “clang,” the knife’s edge chipped, while Zhao Guang remained unharmed.
Only then did he realize what he had done.
“Shit, I must be out of my mind to try this,” he exclaimed.
Looking at where the knife had struck, he knew that if the effect hadn’t been real, he could have lost an arm.
Before he could experiment further, a wave of exhaustion swept over him.
The glow on his body disappeared in an instant, and Zhao Guang collapsed onto the table.
Why do I feel so weak?” His voice was filled with weariness and lethargy, and he felt as if he couldn’t get up for quite a while.
It took a few minutes before Zhao Guang finally managed to get up.
“Does Combat Energy drain this much?
It’s really a matter of life and death,” he said.
Zhao Guang confirmed that while his Lifebound Battle Skill was indeed powerful in defense, it drained too much energy.
Especially since he had only cultivated a little Combat Energy, it was practically depleted in an instant.
“Damn, what good is such a short time?
If I were attacked, I’d be better off just running away,” he thought.
After pondering, Zhao Guang decided, “No, the third version of the Armor must be expedited.”
Zhao Guang took out a notebook filled with dense notes on many adjustments that needed to be made.
He dared to say that after wearing the Armor for a month without taking it off, no one knew Armor better than he did.
If he followed all these notes, his Armor would definitely be the most suitable for him.
Just as Zhao Guang was about to make a call, he let out a frustrated sigh and dropped his lower lip.
“It’s practically innate now.
Forget it, I can’t explain all these issues over the phone; I should go in person.”
The Armor vanished and now that he could drive normally without being caught, he figured he might as well just go there directly.
