As the energy from the Soul Ring surged in, Yang Xiong's body felt as if it were about to collapse at that very instant.
Not only did his skin seem to be struck by lightning, but all of it appeared to be cracking slightly.
Thunder permeated his entire body, like an extreme electric shock. His bones, blood, and even bone marrow seemed to have completely lost control in that moment.
Yang Xiong felt his entire body was on the verge of collapse, especially as a massive Crimson Blood Thunder Dragon appeared in his mind, as if it wanted to devour his entire consciousness. In the face of that terrifying thunder, the original Silver Giant seemed incredibly small.
At this critical moment, a blue light emitted from his right leg, gradually beginning to envelop his entire body.
Yang Xiong's entire body seemed to be constantly collapsing and then healing, back and forth, as if being torn apart.
Especially the feeling of thunder, it was like returning to the final moments of his previous life, a moment that seemed filled with despair.
At the crucial juncture, the soul power within Yang Xiong's body unexpectedly began to circulate on its own, like a massive Tai Chi. Even when facing endless thunder, it seemed completely unaffected, and his body gradually began to stabilize.
The same was true in Yang Xiong's mind. The entire Silver Giant was like the eye of an array, and his entire mind formed a massive Bagua diagram, with the Silver Giant positioned in the very center of the Bagua diagram.
Even when facing the enormous Crimson Blood Thunder Dragon, which was like thunder, the Silver Giant appeared tenacious and unyielding. The figure roared up at the sky, as if defying fate.
Lin Gong, watching Yang Xiong's appearance from the side, was also extremely worried. At this moment, Yang Xiong looked incredibly miserable. Not only was he bleeding from his seven orifices and his skin was cracked, but his entire body was charred black like charcoal. The moment blood flowed out, it was turned into charred ash by the thunder, as if there was a smell of roasted meat.
What was even stranger to Lin Gong was that even though Yang Xiong was in mortal danger at this moment, the soul power in the surrounding air showed some unusual fluctuations.
With Yang Xiong's body as the core, the surrounding ten meters seemed to form a massive Bagua diagram, as if merging into one with the entire world.
It took several days for the soul power on Yang Xiong's body to gradually calm down, and the energy of the Soul Ring also gradually began to stabilize on Yang Xiong's Body Martial Soul.
Only when Yang Xiong opened his eyes again did Lin Gong breathe a sigh of relief.
Yang Xiong only felt incredibly comfortable in his body at this moment, as if he had undergone electrotherapy. Every cell seemed to have become much stronger.
Lin Gong looked at Yang Xiong with an extremely strange gaze, always feeling that this guy was not normal. At least, a normal person's fifth Soul Ring would not reach this level of intensity.
Yang Xiong quickly spoke, "Teacher Lin, how long did it take me to absorb the Soul Ring this time? Why do you look a little off?"
Lin Gong snorted coldly, "Seeing how happy you are, I think you should first take a look at yourself."
Yang Xiong quickly took out a mirror to look at his body. Indeed, his appearance at this moment was very unsightly. The hair on his head seemed to have been struck by lightning, actually resembling steel needles.
And Yang Xiong's entire body was charred black at this moment, as if carrying a hint of roasted meat aroma.
Especially, Yang Xiong felt his body seemed to have grown taller. He should now be over 1.9 meters, and the muscles on his body seemed to have shrunk a little, not as swollen as before, but his strength seemed to have undergone a qualitative improvement.
Yang Xiong was also speechless looking at his appearance. He quickly took out some clean water from his Soul Tool to wash his body and changed into a brand new set of clothes.
After cleaning up, Yang Xiong and Lin Gong quickly dissected the corpse of the Crimson Blood Thunder Dragon.
When the dissection was completely finished, Yang Xiong was also pleasantly surprised. This Crimson Thunder Dragon actually had a blood-red right arm Soul Bone.
However, Yang Xiong didn't have much interest in this thunder-attribute Soul Bone, and it seemed that none of the people around him were thunder-attribute Soul Masters.
Finally, Yang Xiong put away the Soul Bone and prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest with Lin Gong.
This absorption of the Soul Ring took a full two days. His soul power increased to level 53, and he also gained a soul skill that Yang Xiong had dreamed of.
Body Martial Soul Fifth Soul Ring Skill: Crimson Blood Thunder Sword. Using the soul ring skill can condense a treasure sword. This treasure sword is over 1.5 meters long, entirely blood-red, and surrounded by terrifying thunder energy.
Especially, the weight of this Crimson Blood Thunder Sword is not fixed. It can increase with the growth of Yang Xiong's strength and the improvement of his soul power. Currently, Yang Xiong is only level 53, but the Crimson Blood Thunder Sword already weighs over two thousand jin, and the Crimson Blood Thunder Sword possesses the thunder energy of the Crimson Blood Thunder Dragon, and is extremely sharp. Its attacks can ignore the enemy's defense and even have the effect of paralyzing the enemy.
Yang Xiong was very satisfied with this soul skill. Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, soul skills that could transform into weapons were extremely rare, possessed only by Tang San and Qian Renxue, which was due to their Martial Souls themselves.
Yang Xiong's insistence on choosing the Crimson Blood Thunder Dragon as his fifth Soul Ring also had this consideration. According to the records of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Crimson Blood Thunder Dragon not only had a powerful bloodline but also exceptionally outstanding strength.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had previously produced Soul Masters who absorbed the Crimson Blood Thunder Dragon's Soul Ring and obtained weapon-type soul skills, but that person was one of the Sect Leaders in the history of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
After the two left the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Gong appeared exceptionally serious.
"Little Xiong, are you really planning to go to that place now? It's full of dangers. Legend has it that basically anyone who goes there never returns. In the past hundred years, only two people have managed to come out alive."
Yang Xiong nodded: "Teacher, I plan to go to Slaughter City immediately. From now on, whether it's the Body Sect or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I'll trouble you to look after them first."
"If a major change really occurs, you should take those people and hide. Everything can be discussed after I come out of Slaughter City."
Lin Gong sighed: "I know I can't stop you, but Slaughter City is extraordinary. You don't even have a head Soul Bone now. Aren't you afraid of getting completely lost inside Slaughter City?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "Teacher Lin, would I still care about that little interference in Slaughter City? Yang Wudi should have told you that my current body is immune to all poisons. Even Dugu Bo's Poison Array can't do anything to me. I can absolutely guarantee that I will come back alive from Slaughter City."
Lin Gong looked a bit helpless: "Why bother? Both the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are developing very well now. Dragon Duke and I are confident that we can break through to Titled Douluo within two years."
Yang Xiong's expression also became extremely solemn: "Teacher Lin, I have always regarded you as a true family member. I have a reason to go to Slaughter City, and I must go as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid something unexpected might happen."
"As for the issue of you and Dragon Duke obtaining Soul Rings, when the time comes, all five of your Grand Elders will take action together. If you add one of my two teachers, Soul Rings below one hundred thousand years should be easily hunted."
Lin Gong smiled: "You really think of us as a bunch of ordinary old men. Do you really need a child like you to help with this kind of thing?"
"Actually, I've been prepared for Soul Beasts for a long time. That guy Dragon Duke also has a target already. Now it just depends on who can break through to Titled Douluo first."
"However, have you told your family that you're going to Slaughter City? You should know they are very worried about you."
Yang Xiong shook his head: "I only told my teacher, Sword Douluo, about this. He also supports me going to Slaughter City. Besides, I haven't been cultivating in vain this year. This year, my attack and defense have both improved to a certain extent. With my current strength, there should be no one below the Soul Saint level who is my opponent."
"If I use all my means, perhaps even some weak Soul Masters who have just entered the Soul Saint level are not my opponents."
"In the next few years, I'll trouble Teacher Lin to help protect my family. I don't want to come out of Slaughter City and find that I don't even have a home anymore."
Lin Gong directly flicked Yang Xiong's forehead: "Isn't it just protecting your few family members? Don't worry, this old man can still do that much."
After more than ten days of traveling, the two kept walking west from Heaven Dou City and finally arrived at the legendary black town.
This was the entrance to Slaughter City. There were many such entrances in the two great empires, and most of them were people fleeing there. Very few people actually returned.
Lin Gong's face showed a hint of worry: "I can only see you off here. You have to walk the rest of the way yourself. Remember, in Slaughter City, no one is trustworthy. The people inside are the most evil people in this world, and they will stop at nothing to survive."
Yang Xiong smiled: "Teacher Lin, you should know that I am still relatively cautious in how I act. It's good enough if I don't trick others; would someone else even think of tricking me?"
After some communication, Yang Xiong strode towards the only tavern in the center of the town. His originally calm face became extremely serious, even carrying a hint of killing intent.
This was the result of two years of hard training. The two teachers, Sword Bone Douluo, gave Yang Xiong the most brutal training methods. Whether it was attack or defense, he had no opponents within the Soul Emperor level, especially with more attack methods.
He often engaged in close combat with Soul Beasts. In this process, it was like cultivating instinct, especially the brutal killing, which made people extremely fierce.
Just as Yang Xiong was about to enter Slaughter City, in a hidden place in Fasinuo Province of the Barak Kingdom, there was also a huge waterfall, and the surrounding environment was sparsely populated. If not for Soul Masters, it would be impossible to reach this place.
Below the waterfall, Tang San was holding a wooden hammer and desperately swinging it in the water flow, but his cultivation speed was extremely slow.
Compared to the original work, Tang San lacked Ice Fire Body Tempering, and his physical fitness was much worse. In addition, he also lacked the head Soul Bone rewarded by the Soul Master Competition, which was a top-grade head Soul Bone coveted by countless people.
Whether it was physical fitness or other aspects, the gap was still quite large.
It took Tang San a full eight months to be able to use the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique with an iron hammer, reaching eighty-one strikes.
After switching to a wooden hammer, even getting started was difficult, let alone completing all eighty-one strikes.
Tang Hao couldn't help but shake his head. In his eyes, Tang San's talent was still unparalleled, but because the Clear Sky Hammer hadn't absorbed any Soul Rings, its power was probably quite limited at this stage.
However, Tang San's Soul Power increased quite quickly while training under the waterfall. In just one year, he had advanced a full six levels, reaching level forty-seven.
Tang Hao was relatively satisfied with Tang San's Soul Power increase, but he wasn't very satisfied with Tang San's use of the Clear Sky Hammer. At least, based on the current situation, it would take at least three years to meet his requirements.
One day, after Tang San finished training, Tang Hao called him over to the side of the pool.
"Little San, you've worked very hard this past year, but you need to put more thought into the application of the hammer technique. The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique is the culmination of the Clear Sky Hammer techniques. Although you've made some progress, your body is still somewhat lacking. After all, you're only fifteen years old."
Tang San quickly said, "Father, I will definitely work harder to understand the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. I will not disappoint you."
Tang Hao nodded. "You've always made me feel at ease. In comparison, you need some other things more."
Tang Hao took out an item and handed it to Tang San. Even though Tang San's mental age exceeded thirty, his heart was incredibly excited.
