Watching the 1,008 curved blades instantly converge into a dragon-shaped metal monster, Thor became even more certain that Zhou Hao had inherited the legacy of the Ancient Civilization Relics.

Nor did he regard Zhou Hao as a four-year-old child any longer.

"You can't beat me. Invincible War God is still ultimately at the War God Level. Perhaps you can defeat warriors below Planetary level 2nd stage, but my physical genetic quality has reached the sixth stage of the Planetary level. You are destined to lose!"

As he spoke.

The genetic energy within Thor slowly circulated, even affecting the surrounding air. A flash of violet glimmered in his eyes, while a purple-black battle saber gradually condensed in his hand.

A smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Hao's little face. "Thor, when sparring with a four-year-old child like me, you aren't planning to use your full strength, are you?"

Thor's expression froze. The urge to unleash his power vanished at once, and he shrugged helplessly. "Kid, you do have a point. If this is only a spar, using my full strength would indeed be bullying you. But don't forget, little guy, you said earlier that if I defeated you, you would acknowledge me as your master. So I think it would be more appropriate for me to use my full strength."

Zhou Hao said without hesitation, "What I said earlier doesn't count. Suppress your strength to the third stage of the Planetary level. If I still can't defeat you, I'll be your disciple from now on!"

The sign-in mission hadn't said he had to defeat Thor at his peak.

Naturally, Zhou Hao would not foolishly let Thor unleash his full strength. That would not be sparring—it would be asking to get beaten up.

Thor really wanted to say, How can this kid's words change like farting? But the words reached his lips and were swallowed back down. If word got out that he was reasoning with a four-year-old child, Hong would definitely laugh at him.

"Fine. Planetary level third stage!" In the end, he agreed.

After all, even a Planetary Level Warrior at the third stage possessed nearly twenty times the explosive physical power of an Invincible War God Mental Power Master. With the eruption of genetic energy and the various boosts of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade added in, his strength would be more than two hundred times that of an Invincible War God!

With such an enormous advantage.

If he still lost, then he truly would not be qualified to teach Zhou Hao.

Excitement immediately welled up in Zhou Hao's heart. Looking at Thor, he shouted, "Watch out!"

As his voice rang out.

Twenty-one streams of pure Mental Power swiftly extended along the surface of the Magic Dragon Form. The complex secret patterns on the 1,008 curved blades instantly lit up and connected into one whole.

Boom!!

The Heaven-Piercing Shuttle in its Magic Dragon Form immediately spun madly, producing a sharp howl in the surrounding air.

"Little guy, you're very strong, but the gap between a Planetary Level Warrior and a War God isn't something you can bridge with external objects!" Thor said with a smile, raising his battle saber. Arcs of electricity flickered at its tip—this was the release of genetic energy.

Once one broke through to the Planetary level, the genetic energy within the body could be released, and one would gain a talent.

"Go!"

Zhou Hao shouted. The wildly spinning Magic Dragon transformed into a streak of golden light. The airflow around it formed a tornado, carrying an incomparably powerful tearing force as it blasted toward Thor.

An ordinary Planetary Level Warrior would basically be unable to dodge such speed.

But Thor had long since caught the point of attack of the golden light. With a low shout, the battle saber in his hand slashed out like lightning.

Like lightning splitting apart a thick tree.

The Heaven-Piercing Shuttle in its Magic Dragon Form was directly cleaved open by his saber. The curved blades scattered wildly in every direction, plunging into the surrounding skyscrapers with puff, puff, puff sounds.

Even Zhou Hao's Mental Power trembled.

"Worthy of the Second Speaker!! Condense!" Zhou Hao smiled faintly, releasing invisible Mental Power and controlling the scattered, chaotic curved blades as they rapidly gathered together.

Thor did not take the opportunity to attack Zhou Hao. He stood where he was with complete confidence.

"Ultimate Form!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The curved blades quickly converged into a semicircular metal form. Yet the surface of that metal was covered in seventy-two distinct golden threads, each of which seemed to control the tiny golden swords formed from the curved blades.

Zhou Hao's eyes gleamed as his immense Mental Power divided into seventy-two streams and rapidly extended outward.

Sizzle, sizzle!

The golden threads on the semicircle suddenly blazed brightly, radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

Thor's expression immediately turned grave. He directly charged forward with his saber, intending to blast away the semicircular metal form made up of countless blades!

But clearly, he was already too late!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

As the patterns on the blades' surfaces linked together, the seventy-two golden threads immediately separated, forming seventy-two tiny golden swords that shot toward the charging Thor with the sharpness of bullets.

Bang, bang, bang!

The battle saber in Thor's hand swung frantically, like lightning flashing through dark clouds, cleaving apart the tiny golden swords stabbing toward him.

Yet every tiny golden sword carried an impact force of three to four million kilograms, equivalent to the full-force strike of an ordinary Planetary Level Warrior.

And the seventy-two tiny golden swords attacked with extreme speed, leaving Thor no time even to catch his breath.

Clang, clang, clang!

The friction between the battle saber and the tiny golden swords sent countless sparks flying.

Thor's body kept retreating.

By the time he had cut apart the fifty-first tiny golden sword, his wrist was nearly numb.

Boom!

Seeing the remaining twenty-odd tiny golden swords about to strike, Thor could not help but unleash the strength of the fourth and fifth stages of the Planetary level.

Very soon.

The Ultimate Form, like Peacock Spreading Feathers, was completely blocked by Thor.

The rooftop of the skyscraper looked like a sieve, pierced through by hole after hole. The light streaming in illuminated the entire building.

Zhou Hao waved his hand.

Every curved blade swiftly gathered together.

Then he looked at Thor, whose expression was rather awkward, and said happily, "Thor, you lost."

Thor opened his mouth. At this point, how could he not realize that he had been played by Zhou Hao? This set of secret attack techniques clearly had an amplification stronger than his self-created Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. The attack power of the full set absolutely exceeded the full-force strike of a fourth-stage Planetary Level Warrior.

Especially its speed.

It was simply terrifyingly fast. Unless he used his full strength to dodge, he might not actually have been able to evade it.

"Kid, this time, count it as your win. But once you break through to the Planetary level, let's spar again. At that time, I definitely won't go easy on you anymore!" Thor's face was full of unwillingness. Losing to a four-year-old child made him feel extremely stifled.

But there was nothing he could do. He had indeed agreed to Zhou Hao's demand earlier.

And he was not someone who could not accept defeat, so he could only obediently admit it.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the special sign-in mission. You have obtained 'Nine Tribulations Secret Codex, First Tribulation.'"

A voice rang out in Zhou Hao's mind. His little face revealed irrepressible excitement. Although the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex was on Earth, finding it would have been extremely difficult. Yet now, after defeating Thor, he had directly obtained this heaven-defying technique.

"Sure, I agree." Zhou Hao was in an excellent mood and found Thor much more pleasing to the eye. After putting away the advanced Heaven-Piercing Shuttle, he walked over. "Thanks! Of course, I'd be even more grateful if you could take my sister as your disciple."

Thor said irritably, "You're far too cunning, kid. I won't be deceived by your appearance again in the future. As for your sister, staying at the training camp is still the most suitable option for her right now. But I can promise you that once she reaches the War God Level, I'll take her as my disciple."

Though he was displeased inside.

Thor was still deeply shocked. Zhou Hao had reached such a level at only four years old. Once he grew up, his strength would likely become even more terrifying. More importantly, he had definitely inherited the legacy of the Ancient Civilization Relics. With such resources, his future achievements would surpass even Hong's.

Having come into contact with the Ancient Civilization Relics, he knew very well that the universe contained countless powerful beings. If Earth were discovered someday, their fate might no longer be in their own hands. Thus, the greater Zhou Hao's potential, the happier he actually felt.

"Thank you!" Zhou Hao expressed his gratitude once again.
