Chapter 3506: Chapter 1724: I Wish to Mourn Shennong, Near Death Can Sacrifice the Rampaging Body_2

It’s said to be a pity, but Xu Xiaoshou does not feel it’s a pity. He is quite satisfied with this second awakening of Bizarre Magic.

In fact, every passive skill given by the Passive System until today has never left Xu Xiaoshou dissatisfied.

At unexpected times, he always finds that the usefulness of certain passive skills is greater than he imagined.

There are no small passive skills, only worthless users.

“Continue.”

The Nine Death Thunder Calamity is still ongoing.

Of course, the second awakening frenzy mustn’t be stopped either.

Now, there’s only one Extended Passive Skill on his body that hasn’t had a second awakening.

Xu Xiaoshou is obviously keen to see what surprise he can experience after Absolute Refusal, Infinite Silence, and Bizarre Magic.

“Toughness…”

“Resilience, you’ve waited long enough, your ruler is here.”

Toughness is extremely resilient, giving a sense of trying times borne with endurance, often suppressing the desires to burst forth without releasing them.

In crucial moments, it can make one desire to reach for the divine and refuse to retreat.

Even Ai Cangsheng wouldn’t escape from this difficulty.

Toughness’s first awakening is Acalanātha, Xu Xiaoshou doesn’t feel the need to recall how useful that is.

“So, how many times?”

At this last point, Xu Xiaoshou is quite generous.

Even if Toughness needs five times, ten times, he’ll give it, no need to say anything more… Passive Points, plenty!

…

“Second awakening failed.”

“Second awakening failed.”

“…”

Luck seems to have turned around?

However, after six attempts, on the seventh, Xu Xiaoshou welcomed the concluding hymn of his second awakening spree.

“Second awakening successful.”

“Toughness (Awakening: Acalanātha).”

“Toughness (Second Awakening: Raging Golden Body).”

Xu Xiaoshou is an extremely sensitive person.

To this day, his micro-manipulation and examination of his power are exceptional.

This new second awakening appeared, yet there wasn’t time to test it.

All the power within him suddenly vanished, as if extracted by something!

A single thunderbolt struck, leaving Xu Xiaoshou nearly dead under its wrath.

Fortunately, his physique had a strong foundation, and the Nine Death Thunder Calamity was weak, allowing him to resist and recover.

“What’s going on?”

“Who’s messing with me?”

After recovering, Xu Xiaoshou quickly tried to identify his mysterious opponent.

He swiftly realized that his internal abilities from Breathing Technique, Eternal Vitality, High Spirits, Transformation, and other sustainment or maneuver passive skills…

The “amount” they provided seemed less.

Though it was just a tinge less, compared to before the second awakening to “Raging Golden Body,” it felt like a negligible thread cut from his clothing.

Yet, becoming less means it’s less.

The power loss went unnoticed, making Xu Xiaoshou feel a slight fear, was it some unspeakable malice!

“What the heck, so mysterious?”

“Toughness? Is it you? But you’re just ‘Toughness’, did you not find your position, still want me to ‘rage’?”

“Ultimate Giant, isn’t it sufficient to rage!”

While transcending the tribulation, he complains, realizing his opponent might truly be the “Raging Golden Body” after searching for the immobile enemy.

His intent activated, ready to test this technique.

He had developed a good habit of testing a newly awakened form right away by activating the passive skill, hence his previous run during Divine Descending Technique at Hallmaster Dao Qiongcang had as much success as failure.

But this time…

“Raging Golden Body!”

Under Nine Death Thunder Calamity, Xu Xiaoshou shouted aloud, met with silence.

He paused for a breath, pointing to the sky with one hand and to the earth with another, his expression growing more intense:

“Come on!”

“Raging Golden Body!”

Still no response.

Neither the first awakening nor the second awakening had introductions, only the special passive skills followed this routine.

So the effect of the former needs to be trialed and tested.

But at this moment, after calling twice without result, Xu Xiaoshou realized something, fully engaging his mind with the second awakening’s “Raging Golden Body.”

In his mind, an understanding surfaced:

“Prerequisite: Extract one ‘pinnacle.’

“Cycle: During normal activities, extract some passive power to maintain ‘pinnacle.’

“Sacrifice ‘Self’ when dying, recover ‘pinnacle,’ enter ‘Raging Golden Body’ status, lasting five breaths.”

“Time is up, if ‘Raging Golden Body’ is forcefully deactivated, death;

“Time is up, if ‘Raging Golden Body’ is deactivated early, retain a sliver of consciousness.”

“When consciousness is restored to ‘pinnacle,’ extract once more ‘pinnacle,’ reactivate ‘Raging Golden Body,’ re-enter ‘Cycle.’

“Note: Raging Golden Body, automatically activates when dying.”

“Note: Second true body, equivalent to one ‘Self,’ equivalent to one ‘pinnacle.’

…

After meticulously, repeatedly digesting all information about the “Raging Golden Body,” Xu Xiaoshou was dumbstruck, unable to regain his bearings.

“Toughness…”

Is this Toughness’ second awakening?

Isn’t it too tough?

Raging Golden Body, just from the name, Xu Xiaoshou can already somewhat imagine its strength.

It even has to extract a pinnacle!

In daily activities, it constantly steals his power to maintain the pinnacle, isn’t this akin to gathering sand to make a tower?

Finally, when this Raging Golden Body explodes before death, it can only be maintained for a brief “five breaths”…

If it weren’t time-limited, Xu Xiaoshou might not think much of it.

But it has a time limit, even just a mere five breaths, with stringent prerequisites and unable to initiate voluntarily, only activating at death, making this second awakening akin to a special passive skill needing an introduction instead of trials…

Special!
