Liu Erlong unfurled a pair of enormous Fire Dragon wings.

Red flames ignited all over her body, and the exposed skin was already covered in dragon scales.

She knew that before Tie Xiong obtained his second Soul Ring, his initial strength had already been nine thousand jin.

Once he entered the Limit State, his strength would increase dramatically, reaching sixty-nine thousand jin.

Bang!

Tie Xiong was sent flying with a single slap.

Liu Erlong's strike had not been weak.

"Three thousand jin of strength!"

Liu Erlong gauged the force of it.

Before obtaining his second Soul Ring, Tie Xiong had two thousand jin of strength without using Soul Skills. Now, it had increased by fifty percent.

"Hehe, now I'm going to use my Soul Skills!"

"Berserk State!"

"Vajra State!"

The yellow Soul Ring and purple Soul Ring lit up at the same time.

Tie Xiong's entire body brimmed with power.

He felt like he could fight even a Title Douluo.

Of course, that was merely the illusion of his strength overflowing.

The External Soul Bone on his right foot activated.

"Full-Power Strike!"

Tie Xiong leaped from the ground, rising a full zhang into the air before smashing down toward Liu Erlong.

He was so fast that the air itself let out explosive booms.

Liu Erlong recalled how Tie Xiong had been courted and how he had acknowledged her as his sister.

He had even flirted with that Little Snake Spirit.

She could not explain what she was feeling, but boundless fury was desperate to burst out.

Soul Power covered Liu Erlong's right dragon claw.

She met Tie Xiong head-on with a fierce strike.

After a thunderous crash, Tie Xiong spun continuously through the air, bleeding off the force.

The instant he landed—

He sprang up as though there were springs beneath his feet and smashed toward Liu Erlong again.

"Today, I'm going to smash you flat, Mother Tyrannosaurus!"

Tie Xiong roared.

That Full-Power Strike had sent his confidence soaring.

His first Soul Skill, second Soul Skill, and External Soul Bone were all enhancement abilities.

Tie Xiong had not known exactly how they would stack.

But after using them just now, he understood.

That strike had carried twenty-eight thousand jin of force.

His initial strength of three thousand jin became nine thousand after Berserk State's enhancement.

His second Soul Skill, Vajra State, likewise tripled his strength.

However, it still enhanced his base strength rather than the strength already enhanced by his first Soul Skill.

That was normal enough. After all, sometimes the second Soul Skill would be used on its own.

Thus, the second Soul Skill also gave Tie Xiong another nine thousand jin of strength.

Together, that amounted to eighteen thousand jin.

But beyond that, Tie Xiong also had the enhancement from the Bear Paw External Soul Bone.

One must not forget that External Soul Bones evolved as Soul Masters grew.

Tie Xiong's External Soul Bone had previously provided a fifty-percent enhancement.

Now, he could sense that after absorbing the second Soul Ring, the External Soul Bone had evolved slightly, and its enhancement had become sixty percent.

Thus, his strength rose from eighteen thousand jin to twenty-eight thousand eight hundred jin.

That was the terrifying part of an External Soul Bone: it enhanced his current state rather than his base strength.

Twenty-eight thousand eight hundred jin!

That was Tie Xiong's power with all his skills and states fully activated.

Tie Xiong shouted and began stacking his strength.

"Nearly thirty thousand jin of strength!"

Liu Erlong was completely stunned.

This Little Monster was going to defy the heavens!

She had not even reacted to Tie Xiong calling her Mother Tyrannosaurus.

Before she could think further, Tie Xiong's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer came crashing down.

A ten-percent stack.

His strength had already reached thirty-one thousand jin.

The greater the base strength, the more absolute power even a ten-percent enhancement added.

Tie Xiong erupted.

Liu Erlong's consecutive strikes were all caught by Tie Xiong.

That was because the External Soul Bone also enhanced his speed and agility by sixty percent, making his reactions faster.

His strength continued to stack.

Though Liu Erlong was furious, she remained rational. She did not use any skills, fearing that if she used too much strength, she might directly injure Tie Xiong.

She wanted to see just how far Tie Xiong could stack his strength.

I'll wait until you've stacked it to the limit, then slap you flying and vent the fire in my heart!

Liu Erlong thought.

Their collisions grew increasingly violent.

By only the tenth hammer, Tie Xiong's strength had stacked to seventy-five thousand jin.

It had surpassed his previous Limit Strength.

The eleventh hammer—the eleventh hammer directly stacked another twenty percent of strength.

Tie Xiong had a feeling that this hammer might reach his Limit Strength.

Because seventy-five thousand jin of strength was already making him feel pressure.

His body was still too small. He was only nine years old, and his Limit Strength was increasing too slowly.

The eleventh hammer was somewhat slow.

During the stacking process, the massive increase in power made Tie Xiong's entire body tremble.

Every muscle in his body exerted force like a source of power.

The eleventh hammer: a twenty-percent enhancement, ninety thousand jin.

Tie Xiong struck out fiercely.

Liu Erlong had begun to grow cautious. If his stacking continued any further, she would have to use a Soul Skill.

She remembered that Tie Xiong would enter the Limit State on the seventeenth hammer.

But what she did not see was—

A wicked grin appeared at the corner of Tie Xiong's mouth.

Limit State!

That was right. He entered the Limit State starting from the twelfth hammer.

It was that fast!

After absorbing his second Soul Ring, Tie Xiong's Limit Strength had reached the ninety-thousand range, increasing by more than twenty thousand jin.

Tie Xiong only felt his entire body grow lighter.

His speed surged again, and in an instant, he arrived before Liu Erlong.

This was precisely the boost from the Limit State.

Power circulated within Tie Xiong's body, greatly increasing his speed while drastically reducing Soul Power consumption.

"How are you so fast?"

Liu Erlong's eyes widened. She had thought Tie Xiong would need several more strikes before entering the Limit State.

Caught off guard, she was actually forced several steps back by that blow.

Tie Xiong pressed his advantage against the dragon.

Another three consecutive strikes followed.

He hammered Liu Erlong to the ground.

Then, with a push from his right foot, he leaped onto Liu Erlong's body.

"I want to ride a dragon!"

"I want to be a Dragon Knight!"

Liu Erlong was stunned.

She had never used any skills. She had not expected Tie Xiong to seize that opening and knock her directly to the ground amid his rapidly growing strength.

Now, she could feel Tie Xiong pressing down on her.

It even seemed that his hands were moving.

She was furious!

Soul Power gathered as she prepared to slap Tie Xiong away!

"Vajra State!"

Tie Xiong roared again.

His hands pressed down on the peaks.

An unusual fluctuation burst from his hands.

"No one can stop me!"

Tie Xiong was resolute.

Liu Erlong only felt her entire body sink, pressed even more tightly against the ground.

"Your second Soul Skill actually inherited the Vajra Bear's gravity?"

Liu Erlong realized.

"Vajra State adds gravity to my attacks. Though it can only target the opponent I attack, I'm already very satisfied!"

This was Tie Xiong's complete second Soul Skill, Vajra State.

It was a single-target enhancement skill that perfectly inherited the Vajra Bear's ability. Once activated, it tripled his Soul Power, defense, and strength compared to their normal state, while adding gravity to his attacks.

Besides the gravity, what pleased Tie Xiong most—

Was the threefold increase in Soul Power.

His actual strength far exceeded his Soul Power Level.

Every battle required careful calculation, because he was always worried that he would not have enough Soul Power.

Now that his Soul Power was enhanced in tandem, other than calling it a "divine skill"—

Tie Xiong truly could not think of anything else that could describe this skill.
