Master and Disciple Spar, Departure, Capture Xiao Wu!

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Tong was enveloped in the power of thunder. A layer of blue-gold armor and a layer of purple-gold armor emerged on his body, with miraculous patterns surfacing upon them, flickering with monstrous lightning.

At this moment, Zhou Tong seemed to have transformed into a Thunder God, a celestial deity in control of the power of lightning.

With the augmentation of so many soul skills, his power was fully unleashed, reaching an unprecedented level of strength.

His defense, in particular, was exaggerated to the extreme, with the dual-layered armor amplifying his defensive capabilities fourfold.

Rumble!

Muffled thunderclaps bloomed around Zhou Tong, causing Sikong Zhen's momentum to climb steadily, the lightning power surrounding him raging like a wild dragon.

"Not bad, brat!"

Dugu Bo stood opposite Zhou Tong, his eyes lighting up instantly as he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Whether it was offense, defense, or movement speed, Zhou Tong was comprehensive and proficient in every aspect.

"With your momentum, you have at least reached the limit of a Soul King, and could even contend with one."

"Teacher, let us spar."

Zhou Tong leaped into the air, his body flickering with lightning as if a god were hovering in the sky.

Streams of lightning power descended from the firmament onto his body, acting like an endless supply of external energy.

At this moment.

"Spirit Avatar!"

Dugu Bo dared not be arrogant any longer. Nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—slowly rose from beneath his feet, and a tyrannical Titled Douluo aura instantly swept across the surroundings.

Behind him, the phantom of a massive Jade Phosphorus Divine Dragon slowly emerged, its enormous serpent eyes staring coldly at Zhou Tong, emitting a terrifying poison mist.

"Brat, your strength is indeed impressive, but compared to a Titled Douluo, you are still far behind."

"You had better be careful."

Dugu Bo said in a deep voice, "This old man will limit his strength to the Soul King limit; feel free to attack."

"Very well!"

Hearing this, Zhou Tong's aura erupted explosively.

"Third Soul Skill, Heavenly Punishment Thunder Pillar!"

The next moment, Zhou Tong raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a millstone descended from the sky, forming a Thunder Beam that surged violently toward Dugu Bo.

Wherever the lightning passed, the air was torn asunder, and the sound of crackling filled the surroundings.

"First Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorus Poison Array!"

"Second Soul Skill, Poison Mist Permeation!"

Seeing this, a look of solemnity flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes; such terrifying lightning power could not be resisted head-on.

He could only summon poison mist to avoid its sharp edge.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~

When the poison mist collided with the Thunder Beam, it emitted a sharp, piercing sound.

The vast poison mist was eroded by the Thunder Beam and instantly turned into nothingness, but in an instant, endless mist condensed again, frantically pouncing toward the beam.

A moment later, the lightning and the poison array gradually dissipated, revealing the master and disciple.

The poison mist was shattered, and the Thunder Beam could no longer continue.

Because the power of lightning naturally restrained the poison mist, Zhou Tong was able to suppress his opponent despite the difference in rank.

However, with Dugu Bo's footwork, dodging the Thunder Beam was still quite easy.

"Thunder God Wings!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Thunder God Whip!"

The next moment, Zhou Tong transformed into a streak of lightning, appearing behind Dugu Bo in the blink of an eye. A thick whip, wrapped in endless lightning, struck directly at Dugu Bo's shoulder.

Dugu Bo merely smiled slightly, his figure flickering as he easily evaded the lethal blow.

"Your speed is decent, but for a Titled Douluo, it is not fast enough."

Dugu Bo said with a faint smile.

Zhou Tong frowned, surprised that such a swift attack had been dodged.

"Again!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Forest Thunder Prison!"

In the blink of an eye, the area within a thousand meters transformed into an ocean of purple lightning.

Thunder cages emerged from the thunderclouds, descending to envelop Dugu Bo.

Seeing this, the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor behind Dugu Bo swept its tail, actually shattering the cages one by one.

The violent lightning gathered together, forming thunderous flood dragons that charged toward Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Divine Dragon form, only to be smashed to pieces one by one.

"Oh?"

Zhou Tong frowned, looking at Dugu Bo with suspicion. "Teacher, you didn't secretly use a higher level of power, did you?"

Dugu Bo shattering his own fourth spirit skill from a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was simply too exaggerated.

Dugu Bo, however, didn't blink or blush as he replied, "No, absolutely not."

"This old man keeps his word."

"How could I?"

"Don't you go accusing me!"

"As the saying goes, ginger is still spicier when it's old. You're still a bit too young; you'll understand when you grow up."

Zhou Tong's thunder power was quite effective at suppressing poison mist, so Dugu Bo had employed a few minor tricks.

Zhou Tong looked skeptical. "Then let's go again."

The next moment, two layers of armor manifested on his body: the Blue Silver Tyrant Emperor Armor and the Thunder Hell Armor. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a humanoid tank, his entire body flashing with purple-gold lightning, appearing indestructible.

He leaped forward, instantly arriving at Dugu Bo's side.

Zhou Tong swung his iron fists directly, turning into a god of thunder, and engaged Dugu Bo in close-quarters combat.

Every punch landed with the force of a thunderbolt, and surprisingly, he held his own against Dugu Bo without falling behind.

Every flash of thunder power caused Dugu Bo a great deal of trouble.

This brat's thunder power really counters this old man.

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes; if he hadn't used stronger spirit power, he likely would have already lost.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was indeed utilizing combat power that exceeded that of an 80th-level Spirit Douluo.

After all, as a teacher, he felt it would be embarrassing to lose to his student, Zhou Tong.

Moreover, he certainly couldn't lose face in front of his granddaughter and the others.

Therefore, while fighting, Dugu Bo pretended to be relaxed and offered pointers to Zhou Tong.

"You brat, your fist technique needs to be faster!"

"Channel all your lightning power out; win with a single strike!"

A long while later, the two finally ceased their sparring.

"Good lad, to have such immense strength while only a Spirit Ancestor."

"You are worthy of being this old man's disciple."

"Cough, cough, cough."

Dugu Bo suddenly began to cough.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Zhou Tong keenly caught onto Dugu Bo's abnormality.

Dugu Yan, standing to the side, also hurriedly asked, "Grandfather, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly returned to a calm state.

"It's nothing. It must be the lingering snake venom in my body; it seems some of the toxins haven't been completely cleared."

Zhou Tong frowned. "Teacher, hasn't your martial soul evolved into a dragon? Has the toxin still not been completely purged?"

Logically speaking, a true dragon bloodline naturally suppressed toxins and should no longer produce any leakage.

"I thought it was completely cleared before."

"But just now, when I used a lot of spirit power to fight, I discovered there were still some residual toxins in my body."

"It seems my bloodline evolution wasn't thorough enough, and the toxin cleansing wasn't complete."

Dugu Bo replied.

"Teacher, it's alright, we can still solve this."

"We just need to find a better divine dragon bloodline."
