Flender Was Moved!

Limit State was the name Tie Xiong had given it.

It was a mysterious and profound state.

Only by using the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, keeping every strike at Limit Strength, could one enter this state.

In the Limit State, force circulated through borrowed momentum like a perpetual-motion machine.

It greatly reduced the burden on the body, greatly increased attack speed, and greatly lowered Soul Power consumption.

Tie Xiong was currently in the Limit State.

The thirtieth strike—sixty-nine thousand jin!

The fiftieth strike—sixty-nine thousand jin!

Tie Xiong attacked incredibly quickly, as though he were merely swinging his usual two-hundred-jin hammer, Sealing and Closing without a gap.

Such immense strength, combined with such attack speed.

It was simply unimaginable!

Hammer marks had actually been left on that enormous metal pillar.

That metal pillar was used by Liu Erlong to practice her soul skills. Even Tai Nuo's attacks could not leave a mark on it.

The eighty-first strike—sixty-nine thousand jin!

Tie Xiong's final hammer blow crashed fiercely into the metal pillar.

His entire body had turned blood-red, and his sweat evaporated like mist.

"Little Monster, how do you feel?"

Lu Qibin walked over with concern.

The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Tie Xiong had displayed had already surpassed his understanding.

It had begun slowly, with its power constantly stacking, but later, the power had stopped increasing.

Yet its attack speed was comparable to that of an Agility-Attack Type Soul Master.

"He's fine. He's merely exhausted. He has truly mastered the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

Stacking strength is only one part of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. Maintaining that strength and forging without pause is its true essence. He has already achieved it!"

Tai Nuo said approvingly.

Back when he had been a Soul Ancestor.

No matter how he used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, he had been unable to stack its power further.

The moment he tried to stack it, his body would be injured.

Only then had he realized that strength had its limits.

But Tie Xiong had understood that at only nine years old.

And he had accurately found his own limit.

At the sixteenth strike, he had stacked an enormous amount of strength.

Then he had entered the mysterious Limit State.

He had maintained the Limit State from the seventeenth strike all the way through the eighty-first.

That had not been easy.

With his current defense, if he stood there and let Tie Xiong hammer him like that, he would be smashed into pulp.

"Sixty-nine thousand jin! Limit Strength."

"If my body were absolutely immune to injury, or at a near-godly level, then strength would have no limit. Not even a god could withstand my eighty-one strikes!"

A smile appeared on Tie Xiong's pale face. He was very satisfied.

Perhaps once he became a Title Douluo, once his Soul Rings and Soul Bones were fully equipped, he would be able to achieve it.

Zhen Xiong was filled with fighting spirit.

"Tie Xiong is too strong. He is unbeatable!"

For the first time, Tailong had this thought as he stood nearby.

With his strength and Soul Power depleted, Tie Xiong sat cross-legged and began meditating to recover.

After Tie Xiong finished training that morning.

When he walked out of his room, the first person he saw was Flender.

I must be too exhausted from training. I'm hallucinating!

Tie Xiong rubbed his eyes and looked again, but he still saw the four-eyed Flender.

Ah, the hallucination is serious!

Tie Xiong's Heaven Breaking Hammer instantly appeared in his hand, and he swung it at Flender with all his strength.

"Little Monster, what are you doing?!"

With a bang, Tie Xiong was sent flying.

"It really is the Dean! Why are you here? I thought you were a hallucination!"

Tie Xiong's eyes widened.

Flender was speechless.

You were going to hammer me just because I was a hallucination? Looks like you haven't hammered me only once before!

For a moment, the way he looked at Tie Xiong turned rather unfriendly.

"You're about to absorb your second Soul Ring. Of course I had to come take a look!"

Flender said irritably.

"Where are Teacher Zhao and the others?"

Tie Xiong looked behind Flender.

"The academy recruited another genius student. His Martial Soul is the White Tiger, so Zhao Wuji and the others are busy!"

Flender said with some pride.

Tie Xiong fell thoughtful. Dai Mubai must have arrived.

"Is he as talented as me?" Tie Xiong asked seriously.

Flender choked on his words.

Lu Qibin also laughed from the side.

"Come on. Let me see what is so great about this Blue Tyrant Academy that you all don't even want to return!"

Flender changed the subject, his tone tinged with bitterness.

Tie Xiong did not rub it in.

The three of them ate in the cafeteria together, then toured Blue Tyrant Academy.

Flender was so jealous!

"Dean, you and Sister are both part of the Golden Iron Triangle. Why is there such a huge difference between the academies you founded?"

Flender burst into tears, unable to respond.

Er Long's academy really was excellent!

He himself wanted to stay and be a dean here.

No wonder Little Monster did not want to go back.

That afternoon, the three returned to the wooden cabin.

Tie Xiong took out five sheets of paper from the Silver Moon Pendant.

<On the Age Limit of Soul Beasts Absorbable as a Soul Master's First Soul Ring>

This was Tie Xiong's work from this period.

He had revolutionarily proposed that the age limit for a first Soul Ring was eight hundred years.

Why eight hundred years? Because Tie Xiong himself had absorbed an eight-hundred-year one.

Then came Tie Xiong's summary of the requirements for absorbing high-age Soul Rings.

It included three aspects: physique, willpower, and combat strength.

Using himself as an example for physique, Tie Xiong listed his height, weight, strength, tolerable gravity, and intensity of muscle and bone training from the age of one until he absorbed his Soul Ring at seven.

For willpower, he described how Illusion Realm skills could improve a Soul Master's willpower.

For combat strength, he described his power before absorbing his first Soul Ring. Having trained hammer techniques since childhood, a level-ten Soul Warrior could rely on the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to defeat an eight-hundred-year Blood Demon Berserk Bear.

Finally, Tie Xiong wrote about his feelings during the absorption process, and it was extremely genuine.

Flender and Lu Qibin read it carefully. Everything in it was training Tie Xiong had undergone right before their eyes at Shrek Academy.

Yet as they read it now, they could still feel how much Tie Xiong had given.

Until they saw the signature at the end.

Shrek Academy Dean Flender, teachers Zhao Wuji, Lu Qibin, Li Yusong, Shao Xin, student Tie Xiong.

Both Flender and Lu Qibin's eyes reddened.

"Dean, Teachers, when I joined Shrek Academy, I said that if I absorbed a Soul Ring beyond the age limit, Shrek Academy's name would become famous across the continent. I'm about to achieve that very soon!"

Tie Xiong said with a grin.

Lu Qibin rubbed Tie Xiong's head. "You brat!"

"My dream in founding Shrek Academy was to nurture geniuses for the Soul Master world and shock the entire Soul Master world. Little Monster, you have done it. You are Shrek's most talented student!"

Flender was moved!

Once this theory was published, Shrek Academy would become the brightest star in the Soul Master world.

Tie Xiong chuckled. This counted as his repayment to Shrek Academy!

"Little Monster, Shrek Academy no longer has much to teach you. But I, along with the other teachers, still have some influence in the Soul Master world. We will definitely protect you until you grow strong!"

Flender and Lu Qibin exchanged a glance. They both knew that once this theory was made public, Little Monster would become famous throughout the land as well.

"Thank you, Dean, Teachers!"

Having a Soul Saint and a Soul Emperor as sparring partners and protectors was pretty great.

"Dean, I plan to have my parents and two older brothers open a Blacksmith Shop beside Blue Tyrant Academy. Compared to Suotuo City, it is safer here!"

Tie Xiong said solemnly.

"Your concern is justified. I will arrange it. Everything will be settled before you break through to Soul Grandmaster and register at Spirit Hall!"

Flender immediately understood Tie Xiong's concern.

Tie Xiong smiled faintly. It would be best if Flender was willing to help.

Then he could focus fully on cultivating to level twenty before absorbing his Soul Ring.
