Thunder God Divinity Fragment

Seeing that the preparations were complete, Dugu Bo did not doubt him, and Su Ming began the absorption process, utilizing the Creation Qi within the Creation Furnace to enhance the quality of his Thunder God bloodline.

Su Ming summoned his Martial Soul, sat cross-legged, and began to draw in the black, ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. No sooner had he begun refining it than a massive surge of energy instantly flooded his entire body.

Outside, Dugu Bo watched Su Ming's pained expression, prepared to forcibly interrupt the process if Su Ming proved unable to handle it. However, as time passed, the look of agony on Su Ming's face gradually returned to normal. Seeing this, Dugu Bo knew the situation had stabilized; only the final hurdle, the soul shock, remained.

Having been tempered by two Immortal Herbs, Su Ming's body was capable of withstanding the soul power impact brought about by this ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Su Ming immediately began to mobilize the soul power within his body, encircling and suppressing the black-blue soul power originating from the ten-thousand-year Thunder Hell Vine.

As time ticked by, the black-blue soul power within him was continuously dissolved and absorbed under the siege of Su Ming's own soul power. Seeing that only a sliver remained, Su Ming knew that the final stage of absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring was the mental shock.

Sure enough, as the last bit of black-blue soul power was dissolved and absorbed, Su Ming's consciousness was dragged into his Sea of Consciousness.

No sooner had his consciousness awakened in the Sea of Consciousness than a force of thunder struck toward him. Fortunately, Su Ming had been prepared, summoning the Creation Furnace directly in front of him to block the blow.

After blocking the attack, Su Ming immediately drove the Creation Furnace to smash directly into the Thunder Hell Vine. A single strike reduced the remaining soul power of the Thunder Hell Vine to a mere thread. He intentionally left this thread behind to slow down the absorption of the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, thereby gaining enough time to acquire the Thunder God Divinity Fragment.

Seeing the Thunder Hell Vine reduced to a single thread of soul power, Su Ming began to manipulate the Creation Furnace to infuse Creation Qi into the vine to strengthen the Thunder God bloodline.

With the help of his Golden Finger, the Creation Furnace, Su Ming precisely located the thin divine bloodline within the vine. After infusing five chunks of Creation Power (ten strands equal one thread, ten threads equal one strip, ten strips equal one chunk, one chunk equals one thousand strands) into the sparse Thunder God bloodline, it became sufficiently dense, and a tattered fragment indeed flickered in and out of existence within the bloodline.

Su Ming was overjoyed at this sight and hurriedly used the Creation Power to infuse the fragment. After injecting another ten threads of Creation Qi, the fragment finally stopped flickering.

Su Ming then manipulated his soul power to extract it from the Creation Furnace. Once retrieved, his mental projection couldn't wait to touch it. The moment he made contact, the Thunder God Divinity Fragment transmitted a stream of information.

The general content of this information was that the First-Class God, the Thunder God, had fallen, and the divinity had shattered into fragments of various sizes. Some had dissolved into bloodlines, some had been absorbed by others, and some had been consumed by other Soul Beasts. The most complete core fragment of the divinity had fallen into the Thunder Roar Cliff within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Furthermore, the information indicated that this fragment had already recognized Su Ming as its master. Because the energy of this fragment was too low to provide a divinity trial, Su Ming would need to return after breaking through to level sixty to acquire the largest divinity fragment in the Thunder Roar Cliff and have it recognize him as well.

Since the Thunder God had fallen, that largest core fragment had no one to control it; Su Ming would be able to claim it as soon as he made contact.

Once he claimed it, Su Ming would be able to use the authority of the Thunder God Divinity to set up simple divinity trials for himself, thereby rapidly increasing his strength to become the Thunder God.

After processing the information, Su Ming was overjoyed. He knew he had become one of the candidates for the Thunder God. Barring any accidents, once he reached level sixty and had that large core recognize him, he could rapidly increase his strength and become the Thunder God.

Having obtained what he wanted, Su Ming directly manipulated the Creation Furnace to extract the purified divine bloodline from the Thunder Hell Vine, stored it within the internal space of the furnace, and decided to absorb it after returning to Shrek Academy.

After dealing with the divinity fragment, Su Ming dispersed the final thread of the Thunder Hell Vine's soul power. He then used the Creation Furnace in conjunction with his cloud's innate ability to transform his fourth soul skill into two: the first was "Thunder Cloud Heavenly Punishment," and the second was "Rain of Life."

After the modification was complete, Su Ming was extremely satisfied with his fourth soul skill. One area-of-effect damage skill and one area-of-effect healing skill—perfect.

After absorbing the soul ring and rising to his feet, Su Ming sensed the changes in his soul power and discovered he had reached level forty-two.

Seeing Su Ming wake up, Dugu Bo let out a sigh of relief. Dugu Bo had been terrified that Su Ming would be turned into a fool by the mental shock, but his awakening proved the absorption was a success.

Dugu Bo hurriedly asked Su Ming with a look of concern.

"Tell me, Little Monster, looking at you, it seems the absorption was a success. It's good that it was a success."

Looking at the concerned Dugu Bo, Su Ming was quite moved.

"I'm fine, Old Monster. Although this soul ring absorption was a bit risky, the harvest was worth it."

"I'm quite satisfied with my fourth soul skill, 'Thunder Cloud Heavenly Punishment,' an area-of-effect group attack."

"As long as you're satisfied, as long as you're satisfied."

"Alright, Old Monster, let's hurry back to Heaven Dou City."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming summoned his Martial Soul, and the two of them flew toward Heaven Dou City.

It was now the third day since Dugu Yan had returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and all the major powers in Heaven Dou City had learned about the evolution of Dugu Jian's Martial Soul.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, being the first to know, had already investigated the results.

At this moment, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

This was Jade Dragon Mountain, the first mountain of the Nine Dragon Mountain Range occupied by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and it also served as the clan's main council hall.

Inside the hall, Yu Yuanzhen was currently reviewing the information on Su Ming gathered by his subordinates.

"Wang Sheng, Martial Soul is merely an ordinary War Tiger, Innate Soul Power level 2. After seeing Su Ming obtain his first hundred-year Soul Ring, he knelt before Su Ming in public, hoping Su Ming could help him hunt a hundred-year Soul Ring."

"Later, with Su Ming's help, his Martial Soul successfully evolved into a Blazing War Tiger. Afterward, he entered Shrek Academy and reunited with Su Ming over a month ago."

"There is also Dai Mubai, whose Martial Soul has also turned into a Light Attribute White Tiger, as well as Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul."

"Now it is Dugu Yan. It seems this Su Ming has truly obtained a method to evolve Martial Souls."

"However, he now has the protection of the old poison-user, Poison Douluo, and their relationship is extraordinary. It seems we cannot force him now; we can only befriend him."

Thinking of this, Yu Yuanzhen raised his hand and wrote a letter, then sealed it.

"Someone come."

Immediately, a person flew in.

Seeing the person enter, Yu Yuanzhen handed the letter in his hand to the other party and instructed him to deliver it to Yu Tianheng at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Council Hall.

On the north side of the hall, facing south, the main seat was a carved rosewood chair. Sitting upright on the chair was a man; this person was none other than the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi.

He was also looking at Su Ming's file in his hands.
