Zhou Tong sat cross-legged on the ground and ate the Thunderous Hell Flower in his hand.
As the Immortal Herb went down, a current of electricity instantly enveloped Zhou Tong's entire body.
The golden current shone like the brightest light in the world, illuminating everything.
In the sky, thunderclouds churned as storms raged everywhere.
Thick, dark clouds gathered above Zhou Tong's head.
Bolts of golden lightning turned into serpents of thunder, as if they might strike at any moment.
Zhou Tong focused on absorbing the Thunderous Hell Flower within him. Wave after wave of potent medicinal energy continuously transformed his body, while his Martial Soul shifted toward a higher level.
Zhou Tong's Soul Power also kept increasing.
Level 26, level 27...
After absorbing the Thunderous Hell Flower, Zhou Tong rose all the way to level 28.
His Martial Soul's lightning attribute also advanced to the Heaven Lightning level.
"Whew!"
Zhou Tong let out a long breath and said, "Next, it's time to eat the Immortal Herbs and temper my body."
His gaze fell on two Immortal Herbs.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
A burning determination flashed in his eyes.
These two Immortal Herbs had each been nurtured by the essence of the Yin Spring and Yang Spring. Taking them together and then jumping into the water would allow him to absorb the energies of ice and fire, strengthening his body and laying a solid foundation.
They could also make his body immune to fire and water, and impervious to all poisons.
Next, Zhou Tong went to the edge of the spring. Two purple-gold vines shot out like streaks of silk, flying toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
With a light tug, he plucked both Immortal Herbs.
Then he opened his mouth and stuffed them straight inside.
Buzz!
In an instant, an extreme ice energy and an extreme yang energy collided rapidly within him, making Zhou Tong tremble all over. His body alternated between a fiery red and an icy blue.
Blazing flames and bone-piercing frost wove through Zhou Tong's body. The two extremes of ice and fire tormented him relentlessly, bringing him immense pain.
Splash!
Zhou Tong felt his consciousness growing hazy. While he still had a little awareness left, he took a deep breath and jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Cave.
Dugu Bo absorbed the Earth Dragon Immortal Herb very quickly.
He succeeded in less than a day.
A gigantic phantom dragon appeared behind Dugu Bo.
"Hahahaha, my Martial Soul has shed its old form!"
Feeling the power within him growing stronger by the moment, Dugu Bo shouted in excitement.
He abruptly opened his eyes, and a green flood dragon flashed into view behind him before vanishing.
He was thrilled, because his Martial Soul had truly evolved.
Stimulated by the Earth Dragon Immortal Herb, the bloodline of the Jade Phosphor Snake had awakened and evolved into a Jade Phosphor Flood Dragon. His Soul Power had even risen to level 92.
After his Martial Soul's evolution, he had completely solved the problem of the Jade Phosphor Snake's poison, and its toxicity had grown even stronger.
His granddaughter had also taken the Earth Dragon Immortal Herb, and her Martial Soul was evolving.
Feeling so much stronger, Dugu Bo was in an excellent mood.
"That boy Zhou Tong really kept his word."
"He truly solved the poison problem."
"Looks like I've struck gold."
"I wonder what that boy's up to now."
Dugu Bo walked out of the cave and saw a sight that left him speechless.
Not far away, the figure of a boy floated in the middle of the spring.
"Hiss..."
What in the world is that boy doing?
Dugu Bo looked rather tense.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was extraordinary. Even he, a Titled Douluo, couldn't enter it.
Yet Zhou Tong had gone straight in.
"That boy's got some nerve."
"Will he be all right?"
Dugu Bo stared at the scene in astonishment.
The look of wild joy on his face froze completely.
A red energy and a blue energy emerged from Zhou Tong's body, appearing in turn and making him look to be in great pain.
Dugu Bo recovered from his shock, but hesitated where he stood.
He wanted to save him, but even he didn't dare enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Besides, Zhou Tong seemed to be suffering, but he hadn't actually come to harm.
The next moment, golden light burst from Zhou Tong!
Along with the golden light, a towering phantom hundreds of meters tall appeared behind Zhou Tong.
Before this giant phantom, Dugu Bo felt small for the first time!
"Could that be a god?"
Dugu Bo stared blankly at the colossal figure before him. The hundred-meter-tall phantom was wreathed in golden-purple lightning and looked awe-inspiring, as if a god from the heavens had descended.
As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo had witnessed many things and possessed considerable composure,
but the sight before him made it impossible to stay calm.
It was nothing short of a divine miracle!
What was Zhou Tong doing to summon such a terrifying celestial phenomenon?
What kind of potential could give rise to such a terrifying celestial phenomenon?
Dugu Bo's thoughts raced, and he recalled an ancient god.
The Thunder God!
Legend had it that the Thunder God was a mighty deity who commanded the thunder of heaven and earth and meted out punishment in the Divine Realm.
Didn't the phantom behind Zhou Tong, wreathed in thunder and storms, look just like the Thunder God descending from the heavens?
"Could Zhou Tong have the bearing of a god?"
Zhou Tong's Martial Soul excelled at wielding the power of thunder. Wasn't that the Thunder God's divine ability?
Perhaps that boy Zhou Tong really could become a god!
Dugu Bo felt that this was the greatest opportunity of his life!
"I never imagined I'd meet someone chosen by heaven!"
"I have to keep this boy close."
"For Yan Yan's sake, and for the sake of the Dugu Family."
Dugu Bo was lost in visions of the future. The terrifying spectacle before him convinced him that Zhou Tong had the bearing of a god.
As the sun rose and the moon set,
three days had passed since Zhou Tong jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Yan had also successfully upgraded her Martial Soul and emerged.
But Zhou Tong still hadn't come out.
If he hadn't seen that Zhou Tong was safe and sound, Dugu Bo might have tried to fish him out.
"Grandpa, do you think something happened to Zhou Tong?"
"I haven't beaten him yet. He's not allowed to die."
Dugu Yan was so restless she could barely sit still.
Several days had passed, yet Zhou Tong hadn't emerged or woken up. He just floated on the water, the blue and red energies inside him constantly intertwining, as if he might burst apart at any moment.
"Let's wait a little longer..."
"If he still hasn't come out after another day, I'll go down and fish him out myself."
Dugu Bo was beginning to have doubts too. Zhou Tong had been still for so long. Could he be dead?
Amid the celestial phenomenon, a golden bolt of lightning suddenly split the sky and struck Zhou Tong.
As the golden lightning struck, Zhou Tong slowly opened his eyes.
At that very moment, a pair of wings crackling with golden thunder spread out behind him.
The golden wings weren't physical objects, but Energy Wings covered in golden lightning.
With every flap, the Energy Wings unleashed the power of storms and thunder.
By now, he had completely mastered the powers of ice and fire, and forged a body like steel.
Moreover, the combined stimulation of the three Immortal Herbs and the spring had awakened the Thunder God's bloodline within him, granting him a flying Soul Skill.
Thunder God Wings!
