From Douluo to Zhe Tian

Roar!

A furious roar echoed, causing the leaves around them to rustle in the air.

A three-meter-tall yellow-furred bear charged forward on all fours, moving quickly like a high-speed semi-truck, exuding an intimidating presence.

"Lip-charming Ape, go straight in, give it a barbaric kiss!"

Seeing the approaching beast, Leighton sent out two soul rings, one white and one yellow, which wrapped around the Lip-charming Ape.

In the next instant, the Lip-charming Ape transformed into a massive gorilla, using brute force to charge directly at the Thunder Bear.

Qin Tian widened his eyes, feeling a rush of excitement. The Lip-charming Ape could transform!

Boom!

When the Lip-charming Ape collided with the Thunder Bear, a dull thud sounded, and both beasts were forced back a step. The ground beneath them sank into the earth.

Then, the Lip-charming Ape planted its big lips on the Thunder Bear.

The Lip-charming Ape had two abilities: one was transformation, which increased its strength by five times, and the other was "Devil's Kiss," where the kiss had a high chance of stunning the opponent for five seconds.

This meant that there could be some unexpected effects, depending on the mental willpower of the opponent.

Whew!

Seeing that no accident occurred, Leighton breathed a sigh of relief. The Thunder Bear looked to be around four hundred years old, a solid match, with no danger. Most importantly, he didn't have to fight himself and could show off his power in front of his disciples.

"Gazi, now's your chance, take the war hammer and smash its skull!" Leighton shouted.

Qin Tian quickly took the 80-pound black iron hammer from Leighton and charged forward.

Roar!

At that moment, another terrifying roar came from the side, almost in Qin Tian ear, causing his head to spin. A four-meter-tall Thunder Bear charged from the side.

Without thinking, Qin Tian swung the iron hammer with all his might.

With his 2,300-pound strength, the 80-pound iron hammer would be incredibly powerful.

The Thunder Bear came charging without any regard for safety, directly colliding with the hammer's strike.

The hammer smashed into the Thunder Bear's lower body, and the impact ripped through its wound, sending the force deep into its insides. It was as if a bullet had been shot from below, hitting its vital spot, causing it to die instantly.

Before it died, it let out a tragic scream—perhaps from the intense pain.

Boom!

Because the Thunder Bear was so huge, the force of its impact pushed Qin Tian to the ground, pressing him underneath it.

This Thunder Bear probably weighed several thousand pounds, and if it weren't for Qin Tian being a humanoid soul beast, someone like Tang San would've been crushed to death.

Roar!

The five-second stun effect was only the time it took to blink. The 400-year-old Thunder Bear quickly regained its senses and, sensing its companion's death, went berserk.

The Lip-charming Ape's ability had failed, and it couldn't stun the Thunder Bear again.

In an instant, both the Lip-charming Ape and Leighton were in danger, the situation becoming very critical.

The Thunder Bear's initial skill was "Vibration Wave," also known as "Roar of Battle," a very rare ability that didn't suit Qin Tian brick Martial Soul.

With an angry roar, the Thunder Bear sent the Lip-charming Ape flying. It then charged straight at Leighton, who, despite being fully armored, only had about 300 pounds of combat strength, and was sent flying over 20 meters, like an iron can.

As expected, Spirit Masters like Leighton and the master were weaklings, incapable of fighting against creatures at their level. They were utterly outclassed.

Qin Tian, after struggling to escape from beneath the Thunder Bear, saw his teacher being slapped away by the bear's paw.

Leighton flew off into the air, his fate uncertain, and his Martial Soul faded away.

Bronze Coffin Martial Soul!

Seeing this, Qin Tian immediately summoned his second Martial Soul.

He had originally planned to summon his second Martial Soul only in critical moments to smash soul beasts and save his life.

Clearly, this was the best opportunity.

Boom!

A loud crash echoed, seemingly shaking the entire Soul Beast Forest.

The massive Bronze Coffin crashed down, and the Thunder Bear was instantly flattened into a meat pancake, dead beyond recovery.

After the strike, the Bronze Coffin disappeared, as Qin Tian didn't have the energy to maintain it for long.

Wait, what happened to his cheap teacher?

He wasn't dead, was he?

Qin Tian was really not an unlucky star. Tang San and Tang Hao were still fine, right?

"Gazi, what happened? Are you alright?"

Leighton, roused by the sound of the falling Bronze Coffin, woke up, though he never got the chance to see the Martial Soul.

"I'm fine. A powerful being passed by and casually killed the soul beast. It was turned into a meat pancake," Qin Tian quickly replied.

"Good, good, we're really lucky. If not for my special armor, which was made to resist vibrations and crushes, I would've been dead today," Leighton said with lingering fear.

"Teacher, I'm going to absorb the soul ring. Please protect me. The soul ring will dissipate soon," Qin Tian said urgently.

He set his sights on the four-meter-tall Thunder Bear, which was around 800-900 years old.

Given his physical condition, he couldn't waste this opportunity. He was determined to make the most of it.

Without waiting for Leighton to approach, Qin Tian began to channel the soul ring, meditating on the soul power, following the many lessons from the master and Leighton.

As a cyan halo appeared, his brick Martial Soul materialized from his palm, and Qin Tian felt a sense of empowerment, as if the world was at his feet.

In the next moment, the soul ring flew toward him, and he felt an overwhelming pressure. Had he not had such a strong body, his bones might have shattered. Even with his body, the pressure caused his bones to make faint cracking sounds.

Qin Tian gritted his teeth and persisted. He was shameless, but he was also harsh on himself. With the opportunity to grow stronger and become someone important, he was willing to struggle.

The yellow soul ring, as solid as a diamond, attached itself to the cyan brick in his palm.

In that instant, Qin Tian felt that the brick might have something written on it, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it was just a trick of the light.

Soon after, an overwhelming force surged into his body, the heavy, unyielding energy mixed with vibration power flooding through his body, reaching every limb and organ, even his spiritual sea.

In an instant, Qin Tian felt the world spin, his eyes darkening, and his insides burning. This was the sign of dizziness!

But Qin Tian was stubborn. He bit his tongue, a trick he had learned from reading novels in his past life. It was supposed to help him stay awake and could save his life in critical moments.

Absorbing a soul ring was best done while conscious, so he could fully harness its power in the future.

In a sense, this was a process of taming the soul ring. Anyone who backed down was a coward.

Qin Tian was known for his stubbornness. He wasn't going to lose. He wanted to get stronger, become powerful, and prove to himself that he wasn't useless.

At the same time, the soul power from the soul ring surged into his Martial Soul, the cyan brick. If the Martial Soul had been too weak, the soul ring's power would have backfired.

But the cyan brick glowed, and it absorbed the incoming soul power without resistance, seemingly growing stronger with every bit it consumed.

At that moment, Qin Tian had an odd feeling that the brick was no longer just a brick, but The Heavenly Stele of the Great Dao that suppressed the worlds.
