Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 314, Fifth Test: Thor's Hammer!

"Exceeded expectations for the fourth test, defeating the Thunderflame Hellbeast!"

"Mission reward: Thor's affinity increases by 15%."

"Excess mission reward: the lifespan of all soul rings will be increased by 500 years."

A surge of pure energy flowed into Tie Li's body, increasing the age of all eight of his spirit rings by five hundred years.

Purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, red, red!

The fourth spirit ring comes from an eight-thousand-year-old Thunder Crystal Armor Beast, and now the spirit ring's age has reached nine thousand years. There is a deep black aura on the purple spirit ring.

The fourth test was to kill the Thunderflame Hellbeast, and the time allotted was six months. However, Tieli succeeded in killing it in less than a month.

The Thunderflame Hellbeast possesses extreme lightning and extreme fire, making it an extremely powerful soul beast.

Tie Li spent half a month understanding its fighting style and weaknesses. With his current strength, dealing with it is no problem at all.

Thor's blood level has reached 40%.

Just as Tieli was pondering the content of the fifth test, the surrounding environment changed once again.

The desolate land, the torn sky ablaze with darkness, is occasionally illuminated by a streak of lightning, the only light in the world.

Tieli stood on the lifeless wasteland, the occasional flashes of lightning illuminating the giant hammer in front of him.

The rusty giant hammer, stained with black blood, appears to be an ordinary abandoned hammer, yet it exudes an oppressive aura that cannot be ignored.

"Thor's Nine Trials, Fifth Trial: Lift Mjolnir!"

"Completion is rewarded!"

Is this giant hammer Thor's hammer?
Is lifting Thor's hammer the reward?

Tie Li recalled the scene in the original timeline where Tang San pulled out the Trident of the Sea God, but he had only gained the Trident of the Sea God's approval and the right to use it.

The phrase "completion is rewarded" is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

After adjusting his own state, Tie Li walked in front of Thor's hammer. This rusty giant hammer was hard to associate with Thor's hammer.

"Let's treat this as an experiment," Tie Li thought to himself.

The moment his right hand gripped the hammer handle, black lightning surged out uncontrollably.

"what?"

Iron Force's pupils contracted. Thor's hammer was very light, even extremely light, and he easily lifted it above his head.

"呲呲"

But then, something unusual happened. A crack appeared on the rusty giant hammer, and the crack began to split. In less than three breaths, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the giant hammer.

The next second, the giant hammer shattered with a crash, as if it had long been unable to withstand the erosion of time. The moment Tie Li grasped it, it marked the end!

The giant hammer disappeared, replaced by Thor's hammer in an energy form.

Its body had endured too many battles and could not withstand the erosion of time; it had long since reached its end. But in order to preserve the soul of Thor's hammer, it had to hold the last line of defense.

Once it loses its physical body, Thor's hammer's soul will grow weaker and weaker until it dissipates from this world.

The appearance of the Zhenlong Hammer martial spirit requires a new body, which brings unimaginable benefits to Tie Li.

But what about the Yin Thunder Demon Dragon King sealed within the Zhenlong Hammer martial soul?

"Roar"

With a dragon's roar, the seal on the Zhenlong Hammer martial soul disappeared the moment the soul of Thor's Hammer entered it. Unable to withstand the immense pressure of Thor's Hammer's soul, the Yin Thunder Demon Dragon King broke free from the Zhenlong Hammer.

"huhu"

Tie Li's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily. He knelt on the ground, the enormous transformation at the Martial Soul level was slightly exceeding the limits of his body. This shocked Tie Li. With his current physical strength, even a level 95 Title Douluo of the Strength type might not be able to contend with him.

Two 100,000-year soul rings, a 100,000-year Thunder Spirit Dragon torso soul bone, a 100,000-year Azure Bull Python right arm soul bone, over 80,000-year leg soul bones, a 70,000-year Yin Thunder Demon Dragon left arm soul bone, plus the external soul bone Thunder Light Bone Wings that have evolved three times.

The increase in physical strength alone reached an astonishing level.

Despite its formidable physical strength, it was now showing signs of collapse.

The soul power within the body is being rapidly depleted, and the soul core is operating at high speed to replenish the depleted soul power.

In this situation, soul power is like the flame in a forging furnace. The fiercer the flame, the fewer impurities the forged weapon will have, and the higher its quality will be. Conversely, once the flame weakens, the quality of the weapon will drop significantly, and the weapon may even become unusable.

The Ultimate Lightning Soul Core is equivalent to the flames specifically used to forge Thor's hammer, continuously enhancing its quality.

The black lightning gradually disappeared, replaced by blue and white lightning, the initial form of lightning.

However, the blue and white lightning is filled with increasingly terrifying destructive power, surpassing the black lightning in this aspect. At the level of ultimate attributes, it is transforming towards a higher level.

The intense physical strain and the rapid depletion of his soul power left Tie Li extremely weak.

Especially with the transformation of his martial soul, his original power is extremely weak. At this moment, even a one-ring soul master could kill Tie Li if they appeared in front of him.

"Roar"

A low growl came from inside Tie Li's body.

what happened?

The appearance of heresy at this time made me extremely uneasy.

Is there a hidden energy within my body? How come I never knew?

This familiar feeling...

It was a dragon pill, but wasn't it absorbed by itself?

At the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Yang Wudi used immortal herbs to help his martial soul evolve. At that time, the Dragon Pill was still in his body, which became the energy driving the evolution of his martial soul.

It was only after evolving from the Purple Thunder Hammer Martial Soul to the Tremor Dragon Hammer Martial Soul.

Tie Li always believed that the Dragon Pill was absorbed during the evolution of his martial soul. Even if he thought about it, he would realize that the malevolent energy in the Dragon Pill carried a hidden energy deep within his body, which even he could not detect.

It has only appeared now because it sensed the weakness of the iron.

Damn it, what should I do?
Tie Li's heart tightened; if it damaged his very essence, it would be fatal.

"Roar"

Oh, and there's also the Yin Thunder Demon Dragon King, whose seal has been broken.

Although it has broken free from the seal of the Dragon Hammer, it is still a part of Iron Force's soul power.

The Yin Thunder Dragon King could not possibly watch as the Dragon Core's malevolent energy severely damaged Tie Li's essence; as a part of Tie Li, it would also be severely damaged as a result.

Moreover, Tieli is currently taking a crucial step, which is tantamount to a leap in its life level.

The dragon's malevolent energy had been hidden within Tie Li's body for so long that it had long been assimilated by Tie Li's soul power and had even gained a small portion of benefits during Tie Li's growth.

For example, one can absorb the pure energy from lightning tribulations to temper one's body; another example is the sacrifice of the Azure Bull Python, from which it also benefits.

In a sense, it can be regarded as another source.

The Yin Thunder Demon Dragon King rushed into Tie Li's body, turning his body into a battlefield. His already weak body became even more vulnerable.

Tie Li's first feeling was that it was like two versions of himself were fighting, but the battlefield was his own body.

His entire body began to turn red, and streaks of blood appeared on his skin. This was a sign that his body was nearing its limit, and Tie Li was about to give up.
