Third Soul Skill! Thunder God's Second Trial Reward!

"You brat, are you really going to hunt this Thunder Earth Dragon?"

Dugu Bo looked shocked; this giant dragon dared to swallow heaven lightning whole, making it an absolutely terrifying existence among the dragon race.

Moreover, Zhou Tong insisted on challenging a ten-thousand-year spirit beast by himself; against such a dragon, Zhou Tong's strength was clearly insufficient.

"Zhou Tong, this dragon looks too strong. Why don't we pick another one?"

Dugu Yan frowned, her beautiful eyes filled with worry as she also tried to persuade him.

"I came to the Star Dou Forest for this, and I am determined to succeed!"

Facing their well-intentioned advice, Zhou Tong merely smiled calmly.

If he hadn't found it, he would have let it go, but with this Thunder Earth Dragon right before his eyes, he didn't want to miss the opportunity.

A Thunder Earth Dragon this powerful was not easy to come by.

If he missed it, he might never encounter one again in his lifetime.

Furthermore, the more powerful the spirit beast, the more useful the spirit skill it would grant him.

Therefore, Zhou Tong did not intend to retreat; he would face the difficulty head-on.

"You two wait here; I will deal with this Thunder Earth Dragon myself."

Zhou Tong said.

"You brat, are you really sure? Although your talent is great, your cultivation is still a bit low."

"If I'm not by your side and something goes wrong, it will be troublesome."

Dugu Bo said with some concern.

"Don't worry. If there is any danger, I will call for help immediately. Besides, you are a Titled Douluo; at this distance, you can reach me in the blink of an eye."

"I won't have any issues."

Zhou Tong insisted.

In truth, the best method would be for Dugu Bo to beat this dragon half to death so he could land the finishing blow.

However, the content of the second trial of the Thunder God Divine Trial required him to solo a ten-thousand-year thunder-attribute spirit beast, and he had to follow the rules.

Moreover, he also wanted to use the life-and-death struggle to strengthen his own power.

"Fine, be careful."

Dugu Bo had no choice but to stay in place with Dugu Yan, letting Zhou Tong go in alone.

"I will release my martial soul and be ready to support you at any time."

Dugu Bo instructed.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Zhou Tong then crept into the valley and activated his spirit skills immediately.

"First Spirit Skill, Thunderbolt!"

"Second Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Tyrant Emperor Armor!"

"Thunder God Wings, activate!"

"God-level Spirit Skill, Fire Dragon Transformation!"

"God-level Spirit Skill, Ultimate Fire!"

"God-level Spirit Skill, Water Spirit Domain!"

One yellow and one purple spirit ring appeared, and the spirit power on Zhou Tong's body surged instantly.

Surrounded by purple-gold lightning, he charged fiercely toward the Thunder Earth Dragon, which had just finished bathing in the heaven lightning.

This was the moment when the Thunder Earth Dragon was at its weakest after tempering its body with the heaven lightning.

"Ultimate Fire!"

A hundred meters away from the Thunder Earth Dragon, Zhou Tong's body erupted with golden light. A torrent of scorching flames surged from his hands, instantly rushing toward the resting Thunder Earth Dragon.

"Roar!"

The terrifying flames landed on the Thunder Earth Dragon, clinging to it like bone-eating fire, burning wildly upon contact.

Even with its tough dragon scales, the Thunder Earth Dragon was scorched bright red by the Ultimate Fire. Crimson blood gushed out, only to be swallowed by the flames and turned into fuel.

The Thunder Earth Dragon let out an angry roar, and a pillar of lightning as thick as a water barrel erupted from its mouth!

"Thunder God Spirit Skill, Thunder God Wings!"

Seeing this terrifying pillar of lightning strike, Zhou Tong did not attempt to tank it. Instead, he deployed his Thunder God Wings to fly rapidly into the air, nimbly dodging the Thunder Earth Dragon's attack.

In terms of raw combat power, Zhou Tong was certainly no match for a ten-thousand-year Thunder Earth Dragon.

Therefore, Zhou Tong chose a kiting strategy.

Relying on his agile mobility, he constantly maneuvered around, using Ultimate Fire to burn the dragon to death.

"Ultimate Fire!"

With a thunderous boom, a massive amount of terrifying flames slammed into the Thunder Earth Dragon, causing the fire already upon its body to burn even more fiercely.

"Roar!"

The terrifying flames burned blood-filled holes the size of millstones into the Thunder Earth Dragon's body.

At this moment, Dugu Bo, watching from above the valley, stared at the scene with a face full of shock: "This brat Zhou Tong actually possesses such formidable strength."

"That ball of fire is truly too terrifying; there is simply no way to block it."

He could tell that this ball of fire was definitely a terrifying soul skill, though he had no idea where Zhou Tong had obtained it.

It seemed that this lad, who possessed the potential to become a god, had hidden quite a few things.

However, Dugu Bo felt no jealousy; after all, this boy was destined to become a son-in-law of the Dugu family.

The stronger this boy was, the better it would be for the Dugu family.

A long while later, Zhou Tong's agile kiting tactics finally burned away more than half of the Thunder Earth Dragon's life.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the Thunder Earth Dragon was being scorched by the terrifying flames to the point where its bones were exposed, the intense pain forcing it to let out waves of angry roars.

Crimson blood gushed frantically from the millstone-sized holes, staining the Thunder Earth Dragon's entire body red.

The heavily wounded giant dragon, its eyes bloodshot, reared up on its hind legs.

Its massive body, which blotted out the sky, struck fear into the hearts of those who beheld it.

Bolts of golden lightning erupted from the Thunder Earth Dragon's maw as it unleashed its innate soul skill—Heavenly Punishment Thunder Pillar!

But with a light flap of the Thunder God Wings on his back, Zhou Tong quickly evaded the attack of the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Pillar.

"Ultimate Fire!"

He activated his soul skill once more, and streaks of flame struck the Thunder Earth Dragon's head, burning it deep enough to expose the bone.

"Roar!"

After struggling for half an hour, the Thunder Earth Dragon let out a roar of resentment and unwillingness before its massive body collapsed with a crash, its life completely extinguished.

A black soul ring emerged from the Thunder Earth Dragon's body, hovering before Zhou Tong.

"Good, the ten-thousand-year soul ring is mine!"

He sat cross-legged on the spot and began to absorb his third soul ring.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan quickly arrived at Zhou Tong's side.

Not long after, as Zhou Tong absorbed the third soul ring, the figure of the Thunder God appeared in his mind once again.

"Zhou Tong, congratulations on passing the second trial of the Thunder God Divine Trial."

"You have been awarded a god-level martial soul: the Thunder God Hammer!"

"Remember, do not show the Thunder God Hammer to others lightly."

"To unleash the power of the Thunder God Hammer as a divine artifact, you must attach soul rings of one hundred thousand years or more."

"The higher the age of the soul ring, the better."

"If you can attach more than one million-year soul ring, you might be able to break through the limits of a first-rank deity and elevate the position of the Thunder God to the realm of a God King!"

"Remember, the god-level martial soul, the Thunder God Hammer, is the foundation that will determine whether you become a god in the future and how powerful your divine power will be. Cultivate the Thunder God Hammer well; its potential is no less than that of any God King's divine artifact."

As soon as the voice faded, the Thunder God pointed his finger at the center of Zhou Tong's brow.

In an instant, Zhou Tong felt a large, purple-gold hammer appear within his body, radiating a terrifying soul power that was clearly extraordinary.

"God-Bestowed Martial Soul Thunder God Hammer; I have become a twin martial soul soul master!"

Twin martial souls, in terms of potential, were absolutely the strongest on the Douluo Continent.

This was because a twin martial soul soul master could wait until they reached the Title Douluo rank before attaching soul rings to their second martial soul.

All nine soul rings could be ten-thousand-year or even hundred-thousand-year soul rings, and in this way, the power of this martial soul would be extremely formidable.
