Fierce Battle with the Thunder Tiger King, Part Two

"Human, I will make you pay for your blood debt!"

The Thunder Tiger King roared. As its wings swept through the air, a bolt of lightning tore across the sky!

It condensed into a thunder spear.

Watching the thunder spear bear down on him, Dugu Feng leaped into the air and dodged the attack.

After missing its target, the thunder spear slammed straight into the ground, sending arcs of electricity flashing forth!

A scorching smell immediately filled the air!

Though the Thunder Tiger King's attack had missed, the vicious gleam in its eyes did not lessen in the slightest.

Countless threads of lightning burst from its wings, forming a massive electric net.

Seeing this, Dugu Feng gathered Soul Power into his palms.

He unleashed it with force, and the fierce palm strike instantly tore through the electric net.

He then swung another palm, sending palm force straight at the Thunder Tiger King.

The Thunder Tiger King twisted aside to evade, but the next second, Dugu Feng had already appeared before it.

After A Thousand Li in a Flash reached the perfected realm, Dugu Feng had become elusive, appearing and vanishing without a trace.

Within two hundred paces, Dugu Feng could arrive almost instantly.

He condensed icy energy in his right hand and swung after gathering strength.

The powerful palm force instantly struck the Thunder Tiger King on the head.

With a single blow, he smashed the Thunder Tiger King's head straight into the ground.

But in an instant, several arcs of lightning erupted from the Thunder Tiger King's body.

Like razor-sharp blades, those arcs spread wildly in every direction.

Using A Thousand Li in a Flash, Dugu Feng immediately pulled away.

The Thunder Tiger King yanked its head out of the ground and let out an earth-shaking roar.

Blood was flowing from all seven of its orifices. It was already at the end of its rope.

Yet as it stared at the enemy before it, the Thunder Tiger King resolved that even if it died, it would drag Dugu Feng down with it.

"Even if I die, I won't let you off easy!"

"You want to self-destruct? Do you think you still have the chance? Why do you think I've been keeping you occupied for so long?"

"Look at your body!"

The Thunder Tiger King looked over its body. At some point, it had already been frozen solid!

"Did you really think my Sixth Soul Skill, Ice Toad Poison Prison, was just a joke?"

The Thunder Tiger King wanted to make one last desperate struggle, but it was already too late. As its entire body froze over, it became an ice sculpture.

Dugu Feng raised his hand, and the Spatial Claw was instantly summoned.

"Spatial Severing!"

Dugu Feng unleashed three strikes at once. The claw marks tore through space and slammed into the Thunder Tiger King's body, instantly splitting it into several pieces.

A hundred-thousand-year red Soul Ring slowly rose into the air.

Dugu Feng sat cross-legged on the ground and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Although the absorption process still brought soul tremors, familiarity made things easier.

With the experience from last time, Dugu Feng could now skillfully use his spiritual power to resist.

The Thunder Tiger King's Soul Power was extremely violent.

After entering Dugu Feng's body, it began rampaging wildly. Fortunately, Dugu Feng had already cultivated the Indestructible Vajra Body.

No one knew how much time passed. Then, a thunderclap erupted from Dugu Feng's body.

It shot directly toward a slightly scorched boulder a hundred meters away.

The instant the boulder was struck by the thunderclap, it was reduced to dust.

Dugu Feng slowly rose to his feet, and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared beneath him.

His Soul Ring configuration was five black and four red.

Soul Power surged around him before slowly settling at Rank 92.

Most of the Thunder Tiger King's Soul Power had been used to condense an ice-attribute Soul Core.

That was why he had only risen two ranks.

"Looks like I still need to make a trip to the Extreme North. Only with the Extreme North's environment can I completely condense the Ice Soul Core."

Dugu Feng then looked at his back. A pair of wings had grown there—the Thunder Tiger King's Wind-Thunder Twin Wings.

He now possessed three External Soul Bones. Ordinary Soul Masters would be fortunate to obtain even a single Spirit Bone, let alone an External Soul Bone.

Yet he possessed three External Soul Bones. These Wind-Thunder Twin Wings had two skills.

The First Soul Skill was called Wind-Chasing Ten Thousand Li. It could increase his speed tenfold, allowing him to fly continuously as long as his Soul Power had not run dry.

The second Soul Skill was called Thunderous Fury, allowing him to release lightning through the wings to attack.

After Dugu Feng examined the information on the Wind-Thunder Twin Wings, the voice of the god rang out in his mind once more.

As his strength broke through into the realm of Titled Douluo,

the third divine trial had also been successfully passed.

A vast amount of forging knowledge instantly flooded into Dugu Feng's mind.

[Third Divine Trial passed. Forging Hammer power unlocked to 50%.]

[Godhood affinity increased to 50%.]

[Fourth Divine Trial issued: Lift the Forging Hammer using your own strength.]

[The Forging Hammer currently weighs 800,000 jin.]

[This was the limit that Vulcan, the God of Forging, could lift through pure physical strength before becoming a god.]

Hearing that number, Dugu Feng felt immense pressure.

Although his physical body was not weak, his martial soul was primarily control-oriented.

Dugu Feng directly took the Forging Hammer out of the system space. The next second, it smashed a bottomless crater into the ground, and cracks began spreading across the surrounding earth.

This had not happened before, because the Forging Hammer originally did not affect anything around it.

Only when someone touched it would it become unimaginably heavy.

If no one touched it, it had no weight at all.

However, now that the trial had begun, the Forging Hammer's weight had been fixed at 800,000 jin.

Converted into tons, 800,000 jin was a full 400 tons.

"Wait, are you saying I have to rely solely on physical strength, without using Soul Power?!"

[No. The trial-taker may use Soul Power. Vulcan, the God of Forging, possesses the bloodline of both human and dragon and is no ordinary mortal. His physical strength is exceptionally formidable. You are a mortal and cannot compare to him, so you may use Soul Power.]

The moment Dugu Feng heard that he could use Soul Power, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, a full 400 tons was no small amount.

After gods descended upon Douluo Star, their strength would be restricted. Their maximum force was no more than one million jin.

Of course, that did not mean gods possessed only one million jin of strength, because they did not rely on pure physical power, but on their divine power.

They specialized more in magical attacks.

After all, in real combat, greater strength did not necessarily mean greater power.

Dugu Feng then walked over to the Forging Hammer and tried to lift it. He gathered strength and circulated Toad Style.

When he placed both hands on the Forging Hammer and tried to raise it, he found it incomparably heavy. Even after exhausting all his strength, he could only barely lift it. According to the trial's requirements, he had to raise the Forging Hammer above his head.

Dugu Feng forcibly condensed Soul Power into both arms. Just as the Forging Hammer rose past his chest,

the hammer's gravity instantly spread throughout his entire body. In that moment, the Forging Hammer in Dugu Feng's hands crashed back to the ground. The earth shook violently as though an earthquake had struck.

He spat out a mouthful of blood!

Dugu Feng felt his entire body trembling.

"The hammer's gravity can actually transfer onto my body!"

"I concentrated all my strength in my arms, so once the gravity transferred to my body, every other part of me instantly lost balance."

If the gravity had simply remained on the hammer, he could have forcibly lifted it with Soul Power. But he had not expected that halfway through, the gravity would transfer from the hammer onto his body.

"Looks like it's time to make a trip to the outer sea. Whale Rubber is a pretty good supplement too."

As far as he knew, the Whale Rubber of Douluo Continent could temper a Soul Master's body. It was not merely used as an aphrodisiac.
