Douluo Continent: Invincible Physical Body, I Became a God with a Mortal Form

After leaving Notting Academy, Wang Shuo headed straight for the Falling Wind Soul Beast Forest, the closest forest to human towns on the edge of the continent, without any hesitation.

He knew better than anyone that he had only defeated Tang San by virtue of his physical strength and the advantage of the Eight Extremes Heaven.

However, with his current strength as a mere one-ring Soul Master, he is still utterly vulnerable in the real world of Soul Masters.

He had already set a goal in his mind: before breaking through to the level 20 Great Soul Master, he must thoroughly master all the basic moves of the Eight Extremes Heaven.

Only in this way can he have the resources to challenge thousand-year-old power-type soul beasts that far exceed the limits of ordinary people, and equip his physical body and martial soul with the most top-tier second soul ring.

The second ring of the millennium—this will surely shock the entire continent!

The depths of the Fallen Wind Soul Beast Forest are rarely visited by humans, making it an ideal place for solo training.

The age of the soul beasts in it is not high, and the number of them is not as large as that of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After several months, Wang Shuo finally arrived in this forest.

So Wang Shuo settled down there, using the sky as his blanket and the earth as his bed.

When hungry, they hunt low-level soul beasts to eat; when thirsty, they drink from the clear springs in the forest. They keep company with soul beasts day and night, treating life-and-death trials as the best form of training.

During the day, he engaged in extreme physical training while frantically honing his Bajitian moves.

From the explosive speed of the Explosive Foot, to the fierce burst of the Sword Flash, and then to the unparalleled power to shake mountains.

Every move and stance was honed through life-and-death battles with century-old soul beasts. His old wounds had not healed and new ones had been added, but this only allowed his physical body and techniques to continuously refine and grow.

As night fell, Wang Shuo would sit cross-legged, absorbing the soul power of heaven and earth, as well as the power contained within his muscles. He wanted to gradually solidify his foundation and lay a solid groundwork for his future path.

Wang Shuo has become very proficient in the practice and application of the Eight Extremes Heaven techniques. At the same time, he has developed new techniques by combining his own understanding of the Eight Extremes Heaven during his practice.

Based on the Bursting Foot technique, a new skill, Sky Chaser, has been developed. This skill allows for brief flight at high speeds and can be combined with the Sixth Style, Flower Drawing, to enable brief aerial combat.

The development of this new skill allowed Wang Shuo to move freely in the Falling Wind Forest, no longer affected by the terrain.

Wang Shuo, through his first soul skill, provided an additional 20% armor penetration bonus from Swift Shadow, and developed a new form of the fourth move of Eight Extremes Heaven, Trembling Blade.

The damage of the Tremor Blade has been elevated to a new level by shifting from enhancing destructive power through muscle control to a powerful penetrating force.

The seventh move of the Eight Extremes Heaven, Fallen Listening, was constantly honed and improved in the Fallen Wind Forest, enhancing Wang Shuo's perception and enabling him to make quick judgments and predict enemy attacks and positions.

The remaining two techniques, Devouring Evil and Escaping Breath, were also continuously improved as Wang Shuo gradually grew stronger.

Wang Shuo's cultivation was conducted without the guidance of a teacher or the assistance of resources, relying solely on the trials of life and death, which allowed him to grow at a speed far exceeding what ordinary people could imagine.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, deep within the Fallen Wind Soul Beast Forest, a terrifying roar resounded, and a violent power swept in all directions, causing the hundred-year-old soul beasts around to flee in terror.

"Phew! It's finally over!"

Wang Shuo slowly withdrew his fist, having already mastered the six basic moves of Bajitian.

The air exploded where his fist struck, and his soul power broke through to level 20 at that moment.

After two years of arduous training, Wang Shuo finally reached the threshold for obtaining his second spirit ring.

Feeling the surging soul power within his body and the explosive power contained within his physical form, a sharp look appeared in his eyes.

"It's time to leave!"

Without lingering, Wang Shuo packed his simple belongings and turned to head towards the Star Dou Great Forest, the most central and dangerous place on the entire continent, home to the continent's top-tier soul beasts.

Wang Shuo had already planned the soul beast he needed to hunt for his second soul ring, which was the Thousand-Pound Ant, known for its extreme strength and defense.

This kind of spirit beast perfectly matches the strength and defense of his physical body, making it the best choice for his second spirit ring.

However, the ferocity and power of a thousand-year-old soul beast are far beyond those of a hundred-year-old one. Even though he had cultivated the Eight Extremes Heaven for two years and his physical body and combat power far surpassed those of other soul masters of the same level, this journey was still extremely dangerous.

There was no fear in Wang Shuo's eyes; he had long since disregarded his own life and death.

From the moment he defeated Tang San in the back mountain of Notting Academy, he embarked on the path of becoming an ultimate powerhouse, no longer satisfied with the hundred-year soul rings of ordinary soul masters.

The dangers of the Starry Sky Forest were not obstacles for him, but rather necessary trials on his path to the summit.

They sped along the road, and several days later...

The vast and dense Star Dou Great Forest finally came into view. Ancient trees reached for the sky, and spirit beasts roamed everywhere. From time to time, terrifying roars could be heard from the dense forest.

Wang Shuo stood at the entrance of the forest, looking up at the vast, shady forest, a confident smile curving his lips.

"The Thousand-Year-Old Ant, my Second Soul Ring, here I come."

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step, simultaneously activating the Swift Shadow Soul Skill and the Eight Extremes Heavenly Explosive Foot, his figure transforming into an extremely fast green shadow and disappearing into the dense forest.

Wang Shuo resolutely stepped into this extremely dangerous place, embarking on a new round of life-and-death trials.

The moment Wang Shuo stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest, he felt a terrifying sense of oppression that was completely different from that of the Falling Wind Soul Beast Forest.

The soul beasts here are at least a hundred years old, and the aura of thousand-year-old soul beasts is hidden deep in the dense forest. Any one of these rampaging soul beasts is beyond his current ability to confront head-on.

Wang Shuo dared not be careless in the slightest, pushing his Shadow Strike Soul Skill and Eight Extremes Heavenly Burst Foot to their limits throughout, his figure moving like a ghost through the shadows of towering ancient trees.

Whenever he senses a powerful soul force fluctuation far exceeding the level of a hundred years, he immediately conceals his aura, crawls close to the ground to hide, or uses the dense foliage to quickly detour.

Wang Shuo narrowly avoided several thousand-year-old or even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that were capable of instantly killing him along the way.

He relied on his keen sense of the aura of power-type soul beasts to traverse the perilous forest.

When hungry, they would kill lone, hundred-year-old soul beasts to fill their bellies; when tired, they would climb tall trees to rest and recuperate briefly.

After a full two weeks of searching, a dull, heavy scraping sound of carapace finally reached his ears.

Beneath a wide expanse of stone forest ahead lies the nest of the ants.

The entrances to the densely packed ant nests were covered with dark red patterns, and the air was filled with a strong earthy smell.

Countless ants, some decades old and others centuries old, surged in and out like a tide, carrying their prey. And deep within the nest, three or four powerful auras of millennia-old soul beasts emanated, enough to make the air tremble.

Wang Shuo hid behind a boulder, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Even though his combat strength far surpasses that of his peers, he has no chance of directly confronting the entire Thousand-Pound Ant Swarm. If attacked by the swarm, he will only end up with nothing but bones.
