From Douluo to Zhe Tian

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: No Pain, No Gain



The Shock Bear and the Violent Magic Ape were locked in a fierce battle, with both beasts growing more bloodthirsty by the moment.

The Shock Bear's body was covered in scratches, with its flesh torn and bloodied from the Violent Magic Ape's sharp attacks. Despite its thick skin and strong defense, the Shock Bear could not withstand the assault.

Similarly, the Violent Magic Ape was in a bad condition. It was coughing up blood, its insides severely injured by the Shock Bear's shockwave powers.

Boom!

At that moment, the Shock Bear forced itself to use its Gravitational Field skill again. It was clear that such a skill couldn't be maintained forever—each activation lasted at most forty seconds.

"The Violent Magic Ape is finished. It's already at the end of its strength," Tang San said.

"The Violent Magic Ape still has a trick up its sleeve," Xiao Wu murmured.

As a ten-thousand-year soul beast, Xiao Wu keen eyes allowed her to understand soul beasts deeply.

Indeed, a golden, transparent protective shield appeared on the Violent Magic Ape's body, effectively blocking the Gravitational Field's effects.

The Violent Magic Ape's blood-red eyes gleamed with fierceness. It took advantage of the moment, activating its ability to dodge. With a few swift leaps, it was right in front of the Shock Bear. Being an ape, it was far more agile than the Shock Bear. It slammed into the Shock Bear with its shield.

The shield lasted for three seconds, and the Violent Magic Ape wasn't afraid of injury. The Shock Bear's Gravitational Field wasn't strong enough to keep it down. The only solution was to either dodge or force the Shock Bear away.

Clearly, the Violent Magic Ape chose the best option, crashing into the Shock Bear and sending it flying. The three of them even heard the sound of the Shock Bear's bones cracking under the impact.

"Such a vicious Violent Magic Ape! Brother Gazi, now you see what soul skill is the best fit for you!" Tang San exclaimed in shock.

He had expected the Violent Magic Ape to be exhausted during the forty seconds of the Gravitational Field and be killed by the Shock Bear, but instead, the situation had taken an unexpected turn.

This only made Tang San more convinced that the Gravitational Field was useless. Its coverage was too limited.

"I can't let that Violent Magic Ape kill my Shock Bear. The soul ring is mine," Qin Tian gritted his teeth. He recalled the last time he absorbed the 900-year-old Shock Bear's soul ring and felt that perhaps he could try absorbing this 4,000-year-old Shock Bear's soul ring.

He was different, and no one knew his situation better than he did.

"What? Brother Gazi, you're crazy!" Tang San and Xiao Wu were stunned by Qin Tian madness. They never expected that Qin Tian would want to snatch the soul ring from under the two beasts' noses.

Moreover, even if he got the 4,000-year soul ring, it would be useless to him!

"Xiao San, I'm different. I know myself. To become stronger, I'm willing to risk my life," Qin Tian looked at Tang San with a determined and calm expression.

At this moment, Tang San was truly shocked. To risk one's life just to become stronger was a mindset he had never encountered before.

Tang San thought back to when he absorbed the 400-year-old Mandala Snake soul ring. He knew that he hadn't reached his limit yet.

Back then, even with a 500-year-old soul ring, he could have tried to absorb it.

But this conflicted with Tang Sect's teachings. In the Tang Sect's manual, such behavior was considered reckless, foolish, and insane.

Xiao Wu looked at Qin Tian with a strange gaze, almost as if she was seeing him for the first time.

"Brother Gazi, I'll help you," Tang San suddenly reacted, speaking anxiously.

"No need, just watch. I have my ways. Later, please guard me and let me absorb the soul ring peacefully," Qin Tian said, then immediately bent down and dashed forward.

They were 500 meters away from where the two soul beasts were fighting, but the Shock Bear was now flying towards them. With Qin Tian speed, he quickly caught up.

The Shock Bear was badly wounded, its soul skill interrupted by the violent collision, and it lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Twenty meters away!

Qin Tian could feel the immense pressure coming from the Shock Bear. This was the farthest distance at which he could use his skill. Without hesitation, he hurled a brick, aiming for the Shock Bear's exposed weakness.

Roar!

The Shock Bear let out an angry roar and suddenly sat up, dodging Qin Tian brick attack.

However, Qin Tian didn't stop. He had already planned to use his second martial soul—the Bronze Coffin.

He could see that the Shock Bear, in its current state, was barely able to avoid the brick attack. Its roar was weak, and blood poured from its mouth.

Taking advantage of its weakness, Qin Tian released the Bronze Coffin martial soul. It was heavy, massive, and when it first appeared, even Title Douluo Tang Hao had suffered a setback. Qin Tian carefully aimed and released the soul.

"Clang!"

With a ground-shaking crash, the Shock Bear only had time to dodge slightly before being crushed by the Bronze Coffin.

However, the next moment, Qin Tian felt something different. He sensed a huge influx of soul power and other energy entering his body. No, it was more like the Bronze Coffin martial soul itself was absorbing the energy, and Qin Tian body passively received some benefits.

What was this?

Was it devouring the soul beast's life essence?

Roar!

A furious roar came from the Violent Magic Ape, which slammed into the Shock Bear, sending it flying over 300 meters, landing near the area where Tang San and the others were hiding.

This saved Qin Tian a lot of time. It was a stroke of luck.

The Violent Magic Ape, though injured, wasn't moving fast. It was thinking about consuming the Shock Bear's flesh to recover.

But halfway there, Qin Tian appeared and took advantage of the situation.

Had it not been for the ancient, majestic aura radiating from the Bronze Coffin, the Violent Magic Ape would have rushed up and torn Qin Tian apart.

Qin Tian mind raced. He recalled his Bronze Coffin martial soul. With his current soul power, he could summon it once more.

Now the biggest challenge was that the Violent Magic Ape looked like a soul beast that would go berserk, risking its life.

If Qin Tian took its prey, he would have to face its fury.

"Brother Gazi, this Violent Magic Ape is also at the end of its strength. We shouldn't fight it head-on. Let's find a way to exhaust it or force it to retreat," Tang San spoke.

Tang San, being a loyal friend, immediately used his hidden weapons. Two bone-piercing nails shot out toward the Violent Magic Ape's eyes.

The downside of its massive body was that it made an easy target. With Tang San precision, if he aimed for the left eye, it wouldn't miss.

The Violent Magic Ape swatted with its huge hand to block the attack, but the bone-piercing nails still pierced its flesh, causing it to scream in pain.

Seeing this, Qin Tian eyes lit up. It seemed that the Violent Magic Ape's soul power had indeed been drained, as it could even be pierced by Tang San hidden weapons.

It was amazing that a 4,000-year soul beast, equivalent to a Soul Sect-level warrior, was being injured by a Spirit Master at a lower level.

Of course, Tang San attack power was certainly at the Great Spirit Master level, but there was no denying that the Violent Magic Ape was truly weak.
