Hunting a Ten-Thousand-Year Thunder-Attribute Soul Beast, the Thunder Earth Dragon!

If the Water Spirit Domain made Zhou Tong's mental defense invincible, then the Fire Dragon Transformation made his physical defense invincible.

Moreover, the full power of these two soul skills had yet to be unleashed because Zhou Tong's soul power level was still relatively low.

Only when he reached the Title Douluo rank, or even became a god, would these two terrifying defensive soul skills truly reveal their brilliance.

It could be said that this was an extremely powerful defensive soul skill.

At this moment, as the Water and Fire Dragon King Spirit Bone integrated into his body, Zhou Tong's height increased significantly; at less than ten years old, he already stood at one meter seven.

Furthermore, his physique had become noticeably sturdier.

"Now that my soul power has reached level thirty, it is time to hunt a ten-thousand-year lightning-attribute soul beast."

"I must hunt this time alone, but having someone to protect my path is still acceptable."

Zhou Tong would not allow himself to be put in danger easily.

After all, a ten-thousand-year lightning-attribute soul beast possessed terrifying combat power; with a guardian present, even if he could not win, he could easily retreat.

"Senior, please help me hunt a ten-thousand-year soul beast to serve as my third soul ring!"

Zhou Tong found Dugu Bo and stated his request directly.

Dugu Bo was instantly filled with shock, his gaze fixed tightly on Zhou Tong as if he were looking at a monster.

A third soul ring from a ten-thousand-year soul beast?

Throughout the tens of thousands of years of history in the Douluo Continent's soul master world, perhaps no one had ever seen such a crazy soul master.

A Great Soul Master daring to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring, something only a Soul Ancestor could attempt—this was simply courting death.

"Hmm?"

"You brat, do you know what you are saying?"

"Because you absorbed a thousand-year soul ring, do you think you are quite capable now?"

"You dare to leapfrog levels to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring?"

"Do you know what the limit for an ordinary soul master's third soul ring is?"

"At most, one thousand seven hundred years!"

Although he knew Zhou Tong had exceeded the limit for his second soul ring by absorbing a thousand-year one, Dugu Bo simply could not accept such an outrageous statement from him.

The third soul ring for an ordinary soul master on the Douluo Continent was at most around one thousand seven hundred years; this kid actually wanted to absorb a ten-thousand-year one?

Not to mention whether this kid could even defeat a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

Even if he managed to kill one, if he actually tried to absorb it, wouldn't he just explode on the spot?

This massive leap was very difficult for Dugu Bo to comprehend.

"Teacher, please rest assured, I am not acting on impulse."

"With the strength of my physical body and mental power, I can fully absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring."

"After all, I have consumed so many immortal herbs!"

"If you don't believe me, you can test the strength of my body."

Zhou Tong said with a smile, and the next moment, he extended his right hand.

This body had been strengthened successively by the Blue Silver Emperor, Heaven Lightning, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, immortal herbs, and Whale Glue; its physical strength was no weaker than that of a Soul Ancestor.

As for his mental power, having been bolstered by immortal herbs and a god-level spirit bone, it was extremely formidable; the mental shock of a ten-thousand-year soul beast was something he could fully withstand.

"Kid, don't you go bragging."

Dugu Bo was very serious; he regarded Zhou Tong as his future grandson-in-law and could not let him throw his life away like this.

The next moment, he released a powerful surge of soul power throughout his body and struck Zhou Tong's arm heavily with his right hand.

"Clang!"

Zhou Tong's arm only dented slightly, but it recovered almost immediately.

"Hiss~"

Dugu Bo drew a sharp breath; this kid's body was somewhat freakish.

"Kid, the effects of your body tempering these days are excellent."

"Even this old man is a bit envious."

Looking at Zhou Tong's youthful physique, Dugu Bo felt nothing but envy.

This kid's body was simply terrifyingly strong.

"Senior, you could actually consume some Whale Glue to temper your body; the effect is no less than that of immortal herbs."

Zhou Tong did not hide anything and directly revealed the secret of the Whale Glue.

"Very well, you brat, you always have new ideas."

"After we return from the hunt, I will tell Yan Yan."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo was startled, but he quickly chose to believe him.

Zhou Tong's ideas were always reliable.

He chose to trust his disciple.

Before long, the two of them headed toward the Star Dou Forest.

This was the place with the most soul beasts on the entire continent, especially ten-thousand-year soul beasts, which were most abundant here.

"You brat, this Star Dou Forest is filled with powerful soul beasts."

"Even a Titled Douluo must be careful."

"Because, legend has it that there are many powerful hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Forest."

"Once a soul beast from the core area emerges, even this old man would find it very dangerous."

"Therefore, you must be vigilant this time; if you sense danger, run immediately."

"This old man can stall for some time, and you must leave this place quickly."

Hearing this, Zhou Tong nodded gently. The Star Dou Forest was indeed dangerous, and countless soul masters perished here every year.

He did not want to lose his life just like that.

He was a man who was going to become the Thunder God.

"Don't worry, Grandfather."

Dugu Yan said sensibly. She was also ready to hunt for her third soul ring, so she had come along with the two of them.

Of course, Zhou Tong had not come unprepared for this hunt.

He had sought out Ye Xiyue, a master of medicine, and obtained many medicinal powders that could be used to deal with soul beasts.

Several days later, they arrived deep within the forest.

Dense woods blocked the sunlight from above. Walking through the forest, Zhou Tong could feel the rich soul power permeating the air.

It was no wonder this place could nurture so many soul beasts.

They searched for several days in a row without finding a satisfactory soul beast.

It wasn't until Zhou Tong arrived outside a remote canyon that the clear, cloudless sky suddenly became covered in dark clouds.

Within the dark clouds, vast purple Heaven Lightning rolled, emitting a deafening roar.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a bolt of purple Heaven Lightning descended from the sky, striking into the valley ahead.

"Roar!"

As the lightning fell, a soul-shaking beast roar erupted from the canyon.

"That is the sound of a sub-dragon soul beast!"

"Teacher, I may have found my target."

Hearing this dragon roar, Zhou Tong's eyes lit up, and he quickly locked onto his target.

"Boom!"

Immediately following, the Heaven Lightning seemed to strike the soul beast heavily, triggering a terrifying explosion that could be heard even outside the valley.

"Let's go take a look!"

Dugu Bo said immediately.

Zhou Tong quickly ran toward the valley.

"Roar!"

Before long, a heaven-shaking roar echoed through the valley.

Deep within the canyon, Heaven Lightning fell continuously, illuminating the entire valley.

The Heaven Lightning struck the giant boulders in the canyon, instantly annihilating them and turning them into powder.

Under such Heaven Lightning, a giant dragon over twenty meters long, covered in golden scales, was actually bathing in the lightning tribulation, tilting its head to swallow the lightning descending from the sky.

"Thunder Earth Dragon!"

As soon as he entered the canyon, Zhou Tong saw this giant dragon, and a flash of joy appeared in his eyes.

"This dragon is at least ten thousand years old, and its strength is formidable; it can actually swallow the power of Heaven Lightning directly."
