Bang!
Tie Xiong was sent flying more than ten paces without any suspense.
He immediately sensed the gap in strength between them.
The Vajra Bear possessed roughly twenty thousand jin of strength, while his initial strength was only nine thousand jin.
Good. The stronger, the better!
As Tie Xiong retreated, he pushed off with his right foot.
He charged at the Vajra Bear once more at even greater speed.
A strange scene appeared in the arena.
Tie Xiong was continuously swatted away.
Yet he would rapidly charge back in again.
Only after six or seven exchanges did Tie Xiong begin stacking his strength.
After mastering the hammer technique, Tie Xiong could freely wield the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
Just now, he had merely been adapting to the Vajra Bear's strength and fighting style.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
This time, the collisions ringing through the arena were even louder.
Dugu Bo waved his right hand, shielding Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling behind him.
The piercing screech of those impacts had already made the two girls cover their ears.
This showed just how fierce the clash between Tie Xiong and the Vajra Bear was.
Tie Xiong's strength stacked up quickly.
And it did so smoothly.
By the eleventh hammer strike, it had reached twenty-eight thousand jin.
His strength had already surpassed that of the Vajra Bear.
Yet Tie Xiong did not dare relax in the slightest.
He wielded his hammer technique slowly, keeping some strength in reserve in the soles of his feet.
He was waiting, waiting for the Vajra Bear to erupt.
Sure enough, the Vajra Bear was completely enraged.
Human cub, you have angered me!
The Vajra Bear threw its head back and roared.
It stomped its grounded bear paw, and Tie Xiong immediately felt his entire body sink into a swamp.
This was gravity!
At the same time, golden patterns spread across the Vajra Bear's body, making it seem like an indestructible vajra.
"I've been waiting for this, Big Bear!"
Tie Xiong roared, pushing his entire body's strength to the limit and no longer daring to hold anything back.
Clang!
A thunderous sound rang out.
The noise was incredibly sharp, and Tie Xiong felt as though he had struck a metal pillar.
After the Vajra Bear erupted—
Not only could it impose gravity upon its opponent, its own strength had at least doubled, reaching a full forty thousand jin.
Its defense was even more terrifyingly powerful.
But Tie Xiong still stacked up the twelfth hammer strike!
He had stabilized it!
Outside the arena, Tai Tan revealed an excited expression. As expected of someone who had mastered the hammer technique—it was smooth, natural, and completely at his will!
Tie Xiong, I was not wrong about you. Only Master can truly teach you.
Several more collisions rang out in the arena.
The fourteenth hammer strike—forty-eight thousand jin!
The situation had completely reversed. Tie Xiong's strength had caught up to and surpassed that of the Vajra Bear.
The Vajra Bear began getting hammered backward step by step.
A small figure was utterly inconspicuous before the massive bear.
Yet the one taking the blows was the giant bear.
Everyone around them found it unbelievable. This was a three-thousand-six-hundred-year Vajra Bear.
In the blink of an eye, the seventeenth hammer strike arrived, and Tie Xiong's state changed.
He entered the profound and mysterious Limit State.
Every hammer strike carried sixty-nine thousand jin of force.
Tie Xiong erupted and entered pummeling mode.
His strength was immense, and his speed was fast.
"Why does this state feel like a domain?" Meng Shenji muttered.
Bai Baoshan was even more shaken.
Tool Martial Souls were Martial Souls with the greatest offensive power.
Once one trained their Tool Martial Soul to the extreme, its power would become unimaginably great.
Legend had it that gods had refined their own Martial Souls into divine artifacts.
And Tie Xiong's hammer technique was clearly following a path toward the extreme as well.
Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes flickered at this moment.
Little Monster, Little Monster!
You are only at your second Soul Ring, yet you are already this strong. It seems this big sister needs to work harder too!
Fear had already appeared in the Vajra Bear's eyes.
It even began fleeing toward the hill.
This human cub was too powerful.
Tie Xiong was somewhat surprised. As expected of a three-thousand-six-hundred-year Vajra Bear—it had already developed Wisdom.
"You are my Soul Ring. How can I let you run away?"
Tie Xiong's immense force of sixty-nine thousand jin smashed into the Vajra Bear once more.
But the Vajra Bear truly deserved the word vajra in its name.
In its erupted state, its Soul Power was abundant, and it was as indestructible as vajra.
Even with Tie Xiong's enormous strength, his blows could not inflict fatal damage upon the Vajra Bear.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for getting ruthless!"
For strength-type Soul Beasts, the heart was the point where force originated.
Vibration Force!
Collapsing Force!
Penetrating Force!
Breaking Force!
Tie Xiong continuously unleashed the hammer forces with the greatest killing power.
And he precisely avoided the Vajra Bear's bear paws.
He violently hammered the giant bear's chest.
After several blows, the giant bear staggered back a few steps.
Entangling Force!
Piercing Force!
Sealing Force!
Tie Xiong pressed his advantage without sparing the bear.
He freely unleashed his hammer technique, incorporating it into the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
And every strike landed precisely upon the Vajra Bear's chest.
The Vajra Bear's gaze gradually became unfocused, and blood began flowing from its seven orifices.
After another fierce hammer strike from Tie Xiong—
The Vajra Bear's hill-like body crashed to the ground.
Tie Xiong planted the Heaven Breaking Hammer against the ground.
He was drenched in sweat. Beads of blood seeped from his arms, and a sweet taste rose in his throat. He had likely suffered internal injuries.
Those injuries had come from his countless collisions with the Vajra Bear.
But when he saw a violet-yellow energy ring rise from the Vajra Bear's body, Tie Xiong smiled.
This energy ring looked heavy and majestic.
It was many times larger than the energy ring of the Blood Demon Berserk Bear.
"Lingling, hurry and heal Tie Xiong!"
Dugu Yan said.
"Mm!"
The Nine Heart Begonia appeared, and white petal-like light fell upon Tie Xiong.
Tie Xiong sat cross-legged on the ground and began meditating to recover from his injuries.
As he felt the healing light of the Nine Heart Begonia once again—
He still felt that this Martial Soul was simply too overpowered.
No wonder it was restricted. Only two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters could exist at the same time. Only after one died could another possibly appear among their descendants.
At this moment, all the internal and external injuries he had suffered in battle with the Vajra Bear were rapidly recovering.
If Ye Lingling became a Title Douluo and treated others, it would truly be difficult even to die.
Half an hour later, Tie Xiong had recovered his strength.
"Teacher, seniors, I'm going to absorb the Soul Ring!"
Tie Xiong took a deep breath.
"Little Monster, begin. We'll watch the surroundings for you!"
Meng Shenji said solemnly.
They all wanted to see whether Tie Xiong could truly absorb it successfully.
If he succeeded, the theories of the Soul Master world would be completely overturned. The limit for a second Soul Ring would leap from seven hundred years to three thousand six hundred years.
Tie Xiong looked around, then nodded to everyone.
He raised his right hand, and the Heaven Breaking Hammer appeared in his palm, radiating yellow light.
"Come, Vajra Bear!"
Guided by Soul Power, the yellow energy ring found an outlet and surged toward the Heaven Breaking Hammer in Tie Xiong's right hand like All Rivers Run to the Sea.
Tie Xiong felt as though he had suffered a heavy blow.
Pwah!
Tie Xiong spat out a mouthful of blood.
The energy of a three-thousand-six-hundred-year Vajra Bear was simply too great.
The sudden impact injured him at once.
"Little Monster!"
Liu Erlong, Flender, and Lu Qibin all stared anxiously. At this moment, no one could help him.
Liu Erlong clenched her silver teeth tightly, not even daring to blink.
So this was how worried she was about Little Monster!
