Dugu Feng hid in the distance, watching the Poison Fiend Wyvern clutch its abdomen in agony.

A smug smile curled across his lips.

The same principle applied: no matter how formidable a soul beast's defenses were, its internal organs were always its weakest point.

After all, its organs could not possibly be covered in scales as well.

Every clash of ice and fire inflicted tremendous damage within its body.

The Poison Fiend Wyvern let out a pained roar. The next second, its eyes were scorched by searing flames.

The flames erupted from within its body.

Meanwhile, its meridians and blood were frozen solid.

This process lasted for a long time—nearly three full hours.

There was no helping it. The Poison Fiend Wyvern's physique was simply too powerful.

If it had not opened its mouth on its own initiative,

Dugu Feng would never have had the chance to inject such a large amount of Pill Poison into its body.

If he had merely broken through its scales and injected poison into the wound, it would have been difficult to achieve this effect.

After all, the Poison Fiend Wyvern itself used poison, so its immune system could resist part of the toxins.

Only when a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring condensed from the Poison Fiend Wyvern's body

did Dugu Feng dare approach.

[ Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully defeating the Poison Fiend Wyvern. Soul Power increased by 5 levels ] [ Current Soul Power Level: 85! ]

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Dugu Feng forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He drew the Poison Fiend Wyvern's Soul Ring into his body. This was his first time absorbing a genuine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

It was entirely different from those Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings that had been raised through acquired means.

Throughout the absorption process, the lingering resentment of the Poison Fiend Wyvern constantly assailed him.

After all, the Poison Fiend Wyvern had been tortured to death over the course of three hours. Its resentment was imaginable.

This absorption lasted nearly three days and three nights.

Most of that time was spent with Dugu Feng battling the Poison Fiend Wyvern's lingering resentment.

Fortunately, Dugu Feng ultimately prevailed.

Dugu Feng opened his eyes. His Soul Power Level had now reached level 88.

And he was only fifteen years old.

A fifteen-year-old level 88 Soul Douluo was enough to make many people stuck at the Soul Douluo realm feel ashamed of themselves.

Feeling the abundant Soul Power within him, Dugu Feng struck out with his palm. The force of the blow left a deep handprint in the volcanic rock wall.

Dugu Feng looked at the Poison Fiend Wyvern's corpse and raised his hand, retrieving an object from afar.

His abundant Soul Power condensed into a massive hand and began dismantling the Poison Fiend Wyvern's corpse.

Before long, it extracted a torso bone.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is guaranteed to yield a Spirit Bone. I never expected it to be a torso bone. A torso bone can improve a soul master's abilities across the board."

Dugu Feng then began dissecting the Poison Fiend Wyvern, removing the poison sac from its body.

He decided to feed the remaining parts to the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad King. After all, the flesh of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was an exceptional tonic.

And it contained deadly poison.

To the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad King, it was undoubtedly a rare delicacy.

Dugu Feng then returned to the bottom of the volcano and absorbed the Volcanic Crystals within.

These Volcanic Crystals had formed by gathering the power of several surrounding volcanoes.

[ Congratulations, you have passed God's Second Trial ] [ Affinity with the God of Forging and Volcanoes' divine position has increased to 35% ] [ Reward: One-third of the forging wisdom of Vulcan, God of Forging ] [ Forging Hammer power unlocked to 30% ]

At some point, an additional mark appeared between Dugu Feng's brows. It depicted a burning volcano, with a hammer clearly suspended above it.

Dugu Feng took out the Forging Hammer to test it. To his surprise, the instant it appeared, it crashed straight into the ground.

Dugu Feng tried to lift the hammer, only to find it unimaginably heavy.

At the same time, a memory flooded into his mind. This Forging Hammer had been forged by Vulcan

after he became the God of Forging, using the power of gold and the power of gravity.

In other words, the Forging Hammer was a product formed from two great laws.

It was incomparably hard and indestructible.

At the same time, anyone who had not gained the hammer's recognition could not lift it.

Since the hammer itself had condensed from the Law of Gravity, there was no limit to its weight.

Of course, if you gained the hammer's recognition, it would be as light as a feather in your hand. Otherwise, it would be as heavy as Mount Tai.

Moreover, the hammer's upper limit was the upper limit of the Douluo world.

In other words, it was the limit that Douluo Star could withstand.

To a certain extent, the hammer's weight depended on its user's mastery of the Law of Gravity.

If someone mastered the Law of Gravity to a sufficient degree, they could even surpass Vulcan, the hammer's original owner.

"Only by completely passing the divine trials can I become this hammer's new owner. Still, it has already unlocked 30% of its power."

"Although I can't use it directly, I can use it to ambush people."

After trying it out, Dugu Feng discovered that the hammer could indeed be stored in the system space.

To release the hammer, he also needed to consume a certain amount of Soul Power.

However, storing it directly in the system space consumed no Soul Power at all, and he could retrieve it at any time.

Most importantly, it was much more convenient for aerial attacks.

He was now a Soul Douluo. When the time came, he could fly into the sky and take aim at his opponent.

Then he could use the system space to drop the hammer.

If his opponent failed to escape in time, or chose to take it head-on, they would be in for a world of pain.

No matter how great your strength was, this hammer's weight would always exceed it.

The only result of taking it head-on would be getting smashed into pulp.

Dugu Feng then examined the eighth soul skill he had just obtained.

Earlier, he had been too busy destroying the Poison Fiend Wyvern's lingering soul to inspect his soul skills.

His eighth soul skill possessed two abilities. The first was called Annihilation of All Beings.

It was an area-of-effect attack skill. Upon activation, the Poison Fiend Wyvern's venomous wings would condense behind him.

They would unleash a poisonous whirlwind to attack opponents. This move consumed an enormous amount of Soul Power, but its might was indeed astonishing. The poisonous whirlwind would drag everything around it into the gale; not only did enemies have to face deadly poison, but also the incoming poisonous wind blades.

As long as one was cut by a poisonous wind blade, the poison would invade the flesh. Unless they possessed exceptionally strong immunity and regenerative ability, death was certain.

The second soul skill was called Inferno of the Living.

This move was likewise a wide-area attack skill, capable of making poisonous fire rain down from the sky like meteors.

[ Ding, detected that the host's A Thousand Li in a Flash has reached the perfected realm ] [ Reward: Ten-Thousand-Year Torso Bone (Vermilion Scarlet Six-Winged Golden Centipede) ] [ Ding, detected that the host already possesses a torso bone. You may choose to exchange it for a Spirit Bone from another body part ] [ It may also be exchanged for miraculous pills, or a martial arts manual of equivalent value ]

"What?! System, you actually have miraculous pills too?"

This was truly the first time Dugu Feng had been shocked. He had assumed that his Western Poison Panel system

could, at most, provide a few Spirit Bones. Yet now it was suddenly telling him that he could exchange them for miraculous pills.

But after calming down, Dugu Feng thought, Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach him to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

The Poison Classic recorded how to refine poisons, including some Poison Pills.

Unfortunately, he had never had the opportunity to properly try it.

"System, I want an alchemy manual! I want a manual that can teach me how to refine pills!"

For some reason, Dugu Feng felt his blood surge at this moment. He suddenly wanted to become an alchemist.

[ Very well. The pill compendium has already been instilled into the host's mind in the form of knowledge. The pills within cover every pill in the entire high martial arts world ]

Dugu Feng clutched his head. At that moment, he felt an immense amount of information flood into him like a tide. Fortunately, his spiritual power was strong enough for him to endure it, though he would still need time to digest it.
