Tie Xiong felt that in Douluo World, one could only absorb a soul beast as a Soul Ring after killing it personally.

There had to be a reason for that.

If he completely defeated this bear and learned the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's fighting methods during the process of conquering it,

wouldn't it be easier to absorb the Soul Ring and use its power to the fullest?

That was why he planned to do it himself.

"Are you sure, Little Monster? This is a Blood Demon Berserk Bear over eight hundred years old. Even a level-twenty Soul Grandmaster might not be able to beat it!" Zhao Wuji froze for a moment.

"Don't worry, Teacher. I will defeat it!" Tie Xiong licked his lips.

The Heaven Breaking Hammer had already appeared in his hand.

While they were speaking, the Blood Demon Berserk Bear suddenly charged at them.

You're pretty wild, Big Bear. Don't you see there are a Soul Saint and a Soul Emperor here?

A Blood Demon Berserk Bear, violent and bloodthirsty to the bone. I like it!

"Heaven Breaking Hammer!" Tie Xiong shouted.

The hammer doubled in size.

Its handle was sixty centimeters long, while the hammerhead was forty centimeters across. Tie Xiong gripped it and charged forward.

Seeing a skinny human rush toward it, the Blood Demon Berserk Bear braced itself on all fours and swatted at him with its Bear Paw without hesitation.

Tie Xiong gathered his Soul Power, drove off with his calves, channeled the force gradually into his arms, and unleashed his full-power strike!

With Tie Xiong's current level-ten Soul Power, combined with his physical training,

this all-out blow carried a force of four hundred jin.

Bang!

The Bear Paw collided with the Heaven Breaking Hammer. Tie Xiong's arms and legs trembled slightly as he borrowed the force to retreat more than ten steps, just like when Zhao Wuji suddenly canceled the gravity and sent him flying.

He spun three times during his retreat.

Then his feet dug into the ground, his calves exploded with force, and he charged forward once more.

Bang! Another hammer blow, stronger than the previous one.

That was right—Tie Xiong was using the Tie Family Hammer Technique.

If he had been facing a person, anyone who recognized the technique would never have given Tie Xiong time to build up force.

But his opponent was a bear, and that was different.

Tie Xiong's blood boiled. Today, I'm going to smash you to pieces!

The Blood Demon Berserk Bear was savage and bloodthirsty. It would never retreat; it only knew how to fight.

They clashed ten times in a row. Each time, Tie Xiong had to retreat many steps to disperse the force before striking again.

By then, Tie Xiong's strength had increased to over a thousand jin.

In terms of strength, he could now barely contend with the Blood Demon Berserk Bear.

However, Tie Xiong could clearly feel that he had been injured. After all, such continuous impacts inflicted tremendous damage on his body.

Every strike from the Blood Demon Berserk Bear carried more than a thousand jin of force.

Tie Xiong bit through a Sugar Bean. A warm current spread through his entire body, and his injuries gradually recovered.

"Big Bear, I'm going to smash you to pieces!"

Three more hammer blows followed.

Tie Xiong continuously stacked his strength. Just as he thought he could keep accumulating force and defeat the Blood Demon Berserk Bear,

the Blood Demon Berserk Bear suddenly pounded its chest wildly with its paws, and its entire body began to glow blood-red.

Bang.

Another hammer blow, and Tie Xiong was sent flying.

"Little Monster!" Flender immediately took flight and caught Tie Xiong.

Zhao Wuji used Gravity Enhancement, directly pinning the Blood Demon Berserk Bear in place. No matter how it roared and struggled, it could not break free.

If the Blood Demon Berserk Bear could speak, it would surely curse them for fighting without honor.

"Good, very good. This must be the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's Berserk skill. That strike carried more than two thousand jin of force!"

"I'm fine, Teacher. Let me recover a little, then I'll fight again!"

Blood streamed from Tie Xiong's mouth, but his eyes remained bright as he smiled happily.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and began recovering his Soul Power while digesting the medicinal effects of the Sugar Bean.

Although the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's attack had been sudden, Zhao Wuji, that old schemer, often launched surprise attacks against him as well.

He had managed to disperse some of the force. Otherwise, he would have been slapped to death on the spot.

Very good, you berserk bear. The stronger you are, the more I like you!

Zhao Wuji, Lu Qibin, and Shao Xin all watched Tie Xiong with concern, while also feeling gratified by his fighting spirit.

They had never seen a Soul Master at level ten fight this desperately.

Half an hour later, Tie Xiong had fully recovered and fought the Blood Demon Berserk Bear again.

This time, he was prepared. When the Blood Demon Berserk Bear used its skill, he did everything he could to disperse the force.

By the time he stacked his strength to the sixteenth hammer strike, its force had exceeded two thousand jin.

The Blood Demon Berserk Bear used its skill three times, yet Tie Xiong blocked every one of them.

Tie Xiong knew the outcome had been decided, unless the Blood Demon Berserk Bear possessed another skill.

At that moment, some grief and indignation appeared in the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's bloodthirsty eyes. I can't do anything to this little runt!

Then Tie Xiong suddenly noticed that beneath the big bear's grief and indignation was a trace of clarity! This big bear showed no intention of fleeing at all.

Oh? This bear has Wisdom?

Then Tie Xiong felt the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's final madness. Blow after blow came at him as it fought without any regard for its injuries.

At last, covered in blood, the Blood Demon Berserk Bear collapsed to the ground with a crash.

"He really did it!"

Flender looked at Tie Xiong. For a moment, he almost could not bear to let Tie Xiong absorb this Soul Ring. He feared that if Tie Xiong failed to absorb it, the backlash would kill him.

But he knew perfectly well that Tie Xiong would never give up.

What did Tie Xiong sense? He actually sensed the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's valiant will to die? It made him seem like the great villain.

I have to eat your Bear Paw!

Dark yellow specks of light began gathering above the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's body, gradually forming a yellow Soul Ring. With more than eight hundred years of cultivation, the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's yellow Soul Ring was exceptionally distinct. A yellow halo radiated around it, revealing the immense energy contained within.

Tie Xiong knew that he was not currently in condition to absorb the Soul Ring. He hurriedly sat down, ate the Sugar Bean Shao Xin handed him, then meditated for a while until he returned to his best state.

"Teachers, I'm going to absorb the Soul Ring. I'll have to trouble you all!"

Tie Xiong took a deep breath and spoke to the teachers.

"Little Xiong, begin!"

Flender spoke solemnly, then called Zhao Wuji and the others over. They surrounded Tie Xiong from four directions to prevent him from being disturbed during the absorption process.

He raised his right hand. The Heaven Breaking Hammer Martial Soul glowed with Soul Power as it slowly appeared in Tie Xiong's palm.

"Come, my bear!"

Guided by Soul Power, the yellow Soul Ring of the Blood Demon Berserk Bear rapidly flew above Tie Xiong's right hand amid violent yellow energy. It became a suitably sized ring and descended over the Heaven Breaking Hammer.

Then the violent, scorching energy seemed to find an outlet and surged into Tie Xiong's body without pause.

Yellow light enveloped Tie Xiong. The powerful Soul Power fluctuations startled Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others.

This was only the absorption of a first Soul Ring!

Yet these Soul Power fluctuations were even stronger than those caused by a second Soul Ring.
