Chapter 749: Bone Armor, Three‑Star Technique

Transforming Skills into techniques is something that many races have to go through.

Countless methods, different paths but the same destination. In the end, everyone must walk this road.

Perhaps the starting points differ, but the endpoints are hardly any different for everyone.

It's like a rank; no matter how it was called before, there are many names for it.

Beyond the demigod stage comes the true god, a term unified across all races in the Great World.

Technique planets, Planet‑rank techniques, Technique stars, Star‑rank techniques.

Antares knows very well that most people possess the most Technique planets, and the number of their Technique planets is also limited.

No matter who it is during growth, one may master many Skills, but cannot convert all Skills into techniques. Many demigods have only three to five Technique planets; converting ten would be exceedingly rare.

As for Technique stars, one might not have even a single one. Technique stars are the patent of geniuses.

Even a genius usually has only two or three Technique stars.

Antares does not know what the Great World has become now; in its memory, possessing two Technique stars was enough to be called a genius.

Five Technique stars constitute a Heavenly Pride.

Someone like Jiang Chen can be seen to eventually have dozens, even twenty, Technique stars.

Multi‑star techniques will appear as well.

This can no longer be described as a Heavenly Pride. In Antares's memory, none of the monsters in the Great World possessed such, perhaps calling them monsters is more appropriate.

"If one day all of the stinky kid's techniques become Star‑rank techniques, I wonder what a spectacle that would be."

Antares thought this in its heart, and anticipation rose in its eyes.

But recalling the suppression of the Great World's Runes, some worry was unavoidable.

"Tell the stinky kid not to be too arrogant. The Great World is fraught with danger; excessive hubris brings peril."

Jiang Chen never thought about this; he does not know what those invincible strong ones in the Great World are like.

They are far beyond his reach, and he has no right to contemplate them.

Jiang Chen is very clear about what he must do now.

He treads firmly, making each step steady.

The Skill star core, through his effort, left its birthplace and moved to a more comfortable location.

Soul Energy infused, the Skill star core began to emit a dazzling glow, brighter than when it was in the Skill space.

In the Soul World, a star burns, its radiance falling upon the newcomer.

The star's light flickered a few times, as if greeting.

Antares had been waiting for a long time, waiting for Jiang Chen's Soul Power to be exhausted, then it was ready to act.

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, the long‑awaited voice rang out, "Begin."

A swirl of mist rolled, Antares lifted its head high, then slammed it down heavily.

It actually used its own head as a hammer, striking Jiang Chen directly.

While smashing, it said, "How about it? My newly devised killing method, impressive, right."

Antares's head is larger than the combined size of hundreds of Jiang Chen, and its weight is unknown.

In any case, each time it presses down, Jiang Chen is bound to die, no surprise.

The Undying Soul Skill was activated again and again, and after the fourth time, violet light appeared.

Antares also halted at this moment, waiting for the second.

Through Jiang Chen's continual self‑destruction, after three cycles, the Skill star core was finally satiated.

As the rank rose, Soul Power grew stronger. Previously it took nearly four cycles to feed a Skill star core.

Now just over three cycles is enough.

Jiang Chen thought that if he rose another rank, perhaps two cycles of death would suffice.

Antares came to Jiang Chen's Soul World as if returning home, staring intently at the blazing Skill star core.

Boom!!!

Accompanied by an extremely dazzling Explosion, a Technique star was brilliantly born from the Flame.

A tiny black speck in the Flame appeared for half a second before vanishing swiftly.

Antares fell into contemplation again; Jiang Chen does not know what it saw, but it certainly saw something useful.

Such deep‑level things are still beyond his reach.

Jiang Chen thought that he had just begun to grow and discovered many secrets in this world.

The past history is buried; he, driven by curiosity, keeps exploring.

He finally understood what happened in this era, and even encountered artifacts from the previous era.

But upon reaching higher levels, he discovered that there is indeed a Great World, whose secrets far outnumber those of his tiny world by countless multiples.

There are far too many secrets waiting for him to explore.

Through his interactions with Antares, he has already obtained a great deal of information.

He now has a superficial understanding of the Great World.

At the same time, Jiang Chen has realized that Antares's knowledge of the Great World is also not extensive.

The Dragon Race seems overly powerful, disregarding external matters and unwilling to think about them.

They place greater faith in strength; any problem is solved with a single punch.

Although all races revere strength, the Human Race should not be as extreme as the Dragon Race.

The new Technique star formed before his eyes, leaping out from the Flame.

The Flame turned silvery‑white, and Jiang Chen sensed a faint aura of law, the aura of the Undying Law.

Then it kept rotating, not becoming a single entity, but flying straight toward another Technique star.

In the original Soul World there was already a dual‑star technique composed of Bone Fang and Bone Prison.

Now they have welcomed a new member.

The stellar techniques attract each other, linking together exquisitely, forming a peculiar scene where three stars orbit and rotate around one another.

Three‑star Technique! "

Jiang Chen muttered, having long prepared for the possibility of forming a Three‑star Technique.

But when the Three‑star Technique actually materialized, he still felt a bit excited.

"... I don't know what skill that is."

Jiang Chen couldn't wait and examined it. 【Bone Armor (Fusion Rate 100%): summons bones from the Undead World to form armor; the armor's defense depends on the soul tier, and it can also be used on others.】

It turned out to be the Bone Armor skill; now that he thought of it, he hadn't used it for quite a while.

Since his strength kept growing, especially after mastering the Undying Spirit skill, and with the comprehensive Rebirth talent, he basically no longer cared about defense.

Especially against powerful opponents, Bone Armor's defense seemed rather lacking.

Even with talent bonuses, a few hundred thousand points of defense wasn't very impressive.

Especially after using the Concentration skill, his own constitution far surpassed the defense provided by Bone Armor.

Thus he gradually stopped using that skill.

Now it has transformed into a Star Rank technique, and together with Bone Fang and Bone Prison forms a Three‑star Technique, though it's unclear how much it has been enhanced.

Qian Wang's defense, which depends on soul tier, is not clearly known.

"Ah, the Three‑star Technique, not bad!" Antares's voice rang out.

The thing snapped back to awareness from the little black dot's comprehension.

Jiang Chen asked, "Did you gain anything this time?" "So‑so," Antares replied modestly, "You can't expect a harvest every time; after all, that thing is somewhat high‑end."

From its demeanor, Jiang Chen knew there was certainly no real gain.

If there had been any gain, given its personality it would surely flaunt it.

Jiang Chen didn't call it out, "It's fine, you can keep watching."

Antares also stared at the rotating three stars, "Did you see that there's nothing?"

"What?"

Jiang Chen was puzzled, not understanding what it referred to.

Antares said, "Look at the center point of the three stars; what's there?"

Center point?

Jiang Chen looked closely; his soul's perception was far sharper than the naked eye.

Gradually, he saw something out of the ordinary.
