Zhao Wuji's Face Turned Green with Envy! (Please Keep Reading)

"Berserk State!"

Tie Xiong shouted, and his Soul Ring lit up.

In an instant, he felt berserk power coursing through his entire body.

This was a threefold boost.

Tie Xiong stomped his right foot. The force traveled up from his foot to his calf, then his waist and abdomen, finally gathering in his arm.

With a full-force strike, Tie Xiong smashed toward Zhao Wuji.

The powerful bounce from his right foot even made him spin once in midair before he reached Zhao Wuji.

"Clang!"

The collision was deafening.

Yet it was not a dull impact, but a clear, ringing sound.

Golden Soul Power covered the sharp claws on Zhao Wuji's hands, making them immensely hard as they met Tie Xiong's Heaven Breaking Hammer head-on.

Their clash was like weapons of metal striking together.

Zhao Wuji was deeply shocked.

Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, Tie Xiong had mentioned that Berserk State gave him a threefold boost.

He had calculated that Tie Xiong's initial strength for a full-force strike was two thousand four hundred jin.

Now that Tie Xiong had added the power of his right foot, Zhao Wuji felt that his initial strength had reached at least three thousand jin.

Before he could think further, Tie Xiong borrowed the rebounding force and smashed down again.

Tie Xiong noticed something: his right foot had become much more nimble, almost matching the speed of his conscious reactions, allowing him to shed even more force.

Tie Xiong's fighting spirit rose even higher.

Only a series of clangs could be heard from the field.

As time passed, Flender and the others gradually went numb.

Li Yusong in particular, seeing this Bear Paw for the first time, had completely lost his usual lazy expression.

Instead, he watched Tie Xiong solemnly as he continuously swung his hammer.

In the blink of an eye, the tenth hammer arrived, and the accumulated force had reached eight thousand jin.

Each hammer increased the previous hammer's force by ten percent. After ten hammers, it had already reached eight thousand jin.

Zhao Wuji still stood firm, but his expression had turned somewhat grave.

Then two more hammers passed, and the accumulated force exceeded ten thousand jin.

Flender's expression changed as he muttered, "This stacking force is too terrifying!"

Starting with the eleventh hammer, each hammer increased the previous hammer's force by twenty percent. The power rose rapidly, and Zhao Wuji was caught off guard and actually took two steps back.

Tie Xiong threw another three hammers. By the fifteenth hammer, the accumulated force had nearly doubled compared to the tenth, approaching twenty thousand jin.

At this point, Zhao Wuji was using both hands to unleash the Vajra Palm, blocking Tie Xiong's hammer technique.

After swinging the fifteenth hammer, Tie Xiong suddenly felt hollow within.

He hurriedly retreated to shed the force.

His Soul Power was about to run out.

Tie Xiong retreated more than ten meters, spinning several times before he managed to shed all the force.

The Bear Paw on his right foot also lost its support, returning to his body and becoming a mass of energy beneath his foot.

"Little Monster, how do you feel?" Flender, Lu Qibin, and the others gathered around him.

"I'm fine. I've only run out of Soul Power. Using my first soul skill to stack power also requires Soul Power to let my body rapidly shed the recoil. Without Soul Power, I can't shed nearly twenty thousand jin of force through my physique alone, so I can't continue stacking it!"

Tie Xiong said.

Upon hearing this, Flender and the others came to a sudden realization.

Tie Xiong had thought it through even more clearly. Although he had trained since childhood,

less than one-third of the twenty thousand jin of stacked force came from his body alone.

The other two-thirds relied on his soul skill and Soul Power.

That gave his initial strength two thousand four hundred jin.

Adding the roughly thirty-percent boost from the External Soul Bone on his right foot,

his full-force strike came to three thousand one hundred jin.

With this foundation for stacking, the power grew faster and faster the further it went, but it also relied on Soul Power.

"It seems your physical strength is limiting the growth of your current power. I feel your awareness and hammer technique could support you stacking more than twenty hammers!"

Zhao Wuji walked over as he spoke.

"Exactly. After all, I'm still young. My body hasn't fully developed yet!"

Tie Xiong chuckled.

"That final strike should have had nineteen thousand jin of force!" Zhao Wuji said admiringly.

Li Yusong and Lu Qibin looked at each other.

This power was too terrifying. Even Soul Elders were no better than this; some were even inferior to him.

"Teachers, don't be in such a rush to marvel. I suspect this Bear Paw on my right foot is similar to a Soul Bone. It boosts my entire body, and it solves the greatest weakness of us Power-type Soul Masters!"

Tie Xiong teased, keeping them in suspense.

"Speed?" Zhao Wuji immediately understood.

"Teacher Zhao really understands the suffering of us Power-type Soul Masters. When we run into those Agility-Attack Types, flying opponents, or those who control the battlefield and attack in groups, we can't hit them, and we can't outrun them either. This right foot of mine completely makes up for that disadvantage. It not only gives me an advantage in maneuvering within a small area, but it also greatly boosts my running speed!"

Tie Xiong said proudly.

When Zhao Wuji heard that, his face turned green with envy.

"When I break through to Soul Saint, I'm definitely going to absorb a Soul Ring beyond my level! None of you better stop me! Whoever tries to stop me, I'll fight them!"

Zhao Wuji pounded his chest with both fists and shouted.

Flender looked at Zhao Wuji, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Zhao Wuji was immensely strong and looked fierce, but speed was his weakest aspect. He relied heavily on help from his team, and his mentality had completely exploded by now.

Tie Xiong, meanwhile, was delighted beyond measure. Wasn't this damn thing far better than Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track?

No, I need to properly train this Bear Paw before going to Heaven Dou City. Once I reach Heaven Dou City, there'll be so many people around that I might not even have a place to train my External Soul Bone.

"Having just acquired this Bear Paw, I need to use it more before I can master its functions. I'll need the teachers' help!"

Tie Xiong looked at the teachers again as he spoke.

"Don't worry. With us as your sparring partners, we'll definitely draw out every function of that Bear Paw! I remember that last time, you casually jumped three meters high!"

Flender seemed to have thought of something. This was a divine tool for climbing through walls, exploring secrets, spying, and escaping.

For a moment, the look in his eyes as he watched Tie Xiong became rather strange.

This kid isn't going to become some peeping freak in the future, is he?

Tie Xiong did not think that far ahead. He only felt that although this Bear Paw External Soul Bone existed on just one foot, its enhancement to him was already immense.

It also made up for his weakness in speed, allowing him to develop more comprehensively and greatly strengthening his ability to survive.

Tie Xiong took out heavier leg weights and tied them around both calves.

He was about to begin training.

From then on, there was always a child with a Bear Paw growing from one foot running through the nights at Shrek Academy.

Sometimes, as he ran, he would suddenly spring straight up from the ground, soaring five or six meters into the air.

Tie Xiong's figure could also be seen everywhere in the mountains behind Shrek Academy.

From the Training Ground reserved for the teachers, the sound of constant clangs could occasionally be heard.

That was Tie Xiong hammering Zhao Wuji.

This training continued for eight months, and Tie Xiong turned eight years old.

His Soul Power rose two levels to level fifteen, though the increase was not particularly fast.

That was because he had devoted most of his time to developing and utilizing his External Soul Bone.

After training ended one day, Tie Xiong returned to his wooden cabin and placed his clothes and books into the Silver Moon Pendant.

"It's time to leave!" Tie Xiong said with a smile.
