Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

"This must be the location of the lingering resentment of the ancient war god."

Jiang Ming looked at the mountain peak that soared into the clouds and was filled with endless fighting spirit, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He greatly admired this fighting spirit, especially this invincible fighting spirit, because he himself had followed a similar path.

Moreover, it is clear that the ancient war god has gone much further than him in cultivating this fighting spirit.

If he could communicate with the ancient war god, it would greatly benefit his fighting spirit.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the current God of War, Dai Mubai, can't enhance his fighting spirit. It's just that the ancient God of War has obviously gone further down this path and has a much broader range of communication with him.

Whoosh!
Jiang Ming flew directly towards that mountain peak. He could strongly sense that the lingering will of the God of War was within that mountain.

But as he approached the mountain peak, an immense pressure instantly pressed down upon him!

This pressure wasn't generated by divine power, but by a fighting spirit that had almost solidified into a tangible form—a suppression even purer than divine power!
However, given Jiang Ming's current fighting spirit, the suppression of fighting spirit on the outer edge of the mountain was clearly not enough to stop him.

He walked step by step toward the summit of the mountain, his pace slowing down, but his steps never stopped.

A day later, he arrived at the mountainside. Looking at the mountain peak that had already soared into the clouds, Jiang Ming had no intention of giving up, even though his fighting spirit had reached a point where it was extremely difficult to suppress.

Having advanced another quarter of the way, Jiang Ming was still a quarter of the distance from the summit, where the fighting spirit was at its strongest, but he was already finding it difficult to move forward.

The ancient war god's fighting spirit was so intense that even he could not advance amidst it.

"War God Domain, activate!"

Jiang Ming let out a deep shout, his eyes flashing with golden light as he released his Golden Body Martial Soul.

With the flashing of spirit rings, the possession of the Martial Soul True Body, and the activation of the War God Domain, Jiang Ming's aura surged, instantly breaking through the suppression of the battle intent in the mountain peak, and his body quickly moved forward a great distance!

close!

Closer!
With the outbreak of the War God Domain, Jiang Ming was able to see the situation on the mountaintop.

It was a ball of platinum-gold light, slightly dim, as if its own energy was insufficient to support it in releasing a greater light, but the extremely powerful fighting spirit made this slightly dim light look incredibly dazzling!
Seemingly sensing Jiang Ming's gaze, the white-gold light emitted an even stronger glow.

boom!
The already powerful fighting spirit was amplified to an even greater level!
Jiang Ming's face fell. If he was absolutely certain he could quickly reach the ball of white-gold light just now, things might be a bit risky now.

Moreover, he didn't know if this white-gold light would continue to change, especially if the fighting spirit became even stronger.
Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Ming's mind, but he quickly put these chaotic thoughts behind him.

He is already in the ninth trial of the two gods. He has only one goal: to gain the recognition of the ancient war god and the ancient sun god!
In this situation, he can only move forward; there is no possibility of retreating!
Jiang Ming gritted his teeth and moved step by step toward the platinum-gold light at the mountain peak.

boom!
The terrifying pressure bent his back.

boom!
He was completely hunched over.

boom!
His knees began to tremble, and they even bent, showing a tendency to kneel down.

But when has Jiang Ming ever knelt in his entire life?
"Hold on!"

With a thought, Jiang Ming took out the Sky-Piercing Spear from his small world!

He now possesses three divine artifacts: the Tower of War, the Sun Wheel, and the Sky-Piercing Spear!
The Tower of War and the Sun Wheel are newly acquired artifacts, but these two artifacts are obviously not very effective in dealing with battle intent, since Jiang Ming has just acquired them and is not yet proficient in using them.

While the Sky-Piercing Spear may be of a lower level than the previous two, since its materials are only at the demigod level, it barely meets the standard of a divine weapon only because it has the spirit of the War God Panlong Spear.

But the Sky-Piercing Spear is the weapon he is most familiar with, or rather, his destined weapon!

A spear appeared in his hand, man and spear became one!
boom!
The spearhead of the Sky-Piercing Spear pierced the ground, providing Jiang Ming with a supporting force.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

Jiang Ming gripped the Sky-Piercing Spear with both hands, panting heavily, and slowly moved forward.

With the support of the Sky-Piercing Spear at first, Jiang Ming was able to move forward a distance, but when he was only a hundred meters away from the platinum light, he simply couldn't hold on any longer.

boom!
People and guns alike fell to the ground.

The lingering resentment of the ancient war god unleashed his fighting spirit on this divine battlefield, which was never designed for mortals; this is the realm of gods!

It was already extremely astonishing that Jiang Ming was able to persist until he was only 100 meters away from the platinum light.

But once you get to this point, even just wanting to take another step forward is incredibly difficult!

No, ascending to heaven is not difficult, but for Jiang Ming to take a single step forward is incredibly difficult!
"Holy crap, are they playing a trick on me?!"

Jiang Ming collapsed to the ground, already starting to doubt whether the difficulty of the assessment was a bit too great!
Just reaching the lingering resentment of the ancient war god is already more difficult than the eighth trial, which involves fighting two gods!

Is this really reasonable?

If the ninth test is this difficult, then the chances of him passing it are really slim!

"Om~"

Suddenly, the Sky-Piercing Spear, which had fallen beside Jiang Ming but was still held in his hand, emitted a buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ming seemed to sense something and perceived some kind of information.

"You mean, I should first sense the battle intent of the ancient war god here?"

Jiang Ming looked at the Sky-Piercing Spear beside him. He could sense the information conveyed by the spirit of the War God Panlong Spear within the Sky-Piercing Spear.

"Om~"

The Sky-Piercing Spear hummed once more.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming struggled to sit up.

Sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, Jiang Ming, his body suppressed by an incredibly terrifying fighting spirit, began to release his own fighting spirit to probe outwards.

boom!
In an instant, the already powerful fighting spirit seemed to be provoked by the fighting spirit released by Jiang Ming, and directly shattered Jiang Ming's fighting spirit!

"puff!"

Jiang Ming spat out a mouthful of golden-red blood and was sent flying backward more than ten meters by the impact!
"Depend on!"

Jiang Ming quickly steadied himself and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. There was simply no way to stop it.
wrong!

Jiang Ming's expression changed, and he sat down cross-legged on the spot, continuing to unleash his fighting spirit.

boom!
His fighting spirit was crushed once again, but Jiang Ming could clearly feel that his fighting spirit had become stronger in the collision with the fighting spirit that was suppressing him!
Fighting spirit, fighting will!
How do you strengthen your fighting spirit? Of course, you strengthen it by fighting against others!
Fighting against stronger opponents will boost your fighting spirit.

This is why, after Jiang Ming became the number one Soul Master in Douluo Continent, he stopped cultivating the Battle Intent and War God Domain skills.

There's no way to improve this skill; you have to find a stronger opponent!

At the very least, the opponent must be an evenly matched one; only in this way can the fighting spirit be enhanced during the battle.

After becoming the strongest person on the mainland, no one was qualified to make Jiang Ming go all out.

In recent years, only the eighth test just now made Jiang Ming truly give it his all!

However, the eighth test, the God of War and the Sun God, had also suppressed their own strength, and the test ended too quickly, so Jiang Ming's fighting spirit had not yet fully erupted.

Now, under the lingering will of the ancient war god, and under the suppression and collision of this extremely pure and intense battle intent, Jiang Ming's battle intent can be completely enhanced through this collision!

especially.
The longer he endured this clash of fighting spirits, the more he adapted to the suppression, thus getting closer to the platinum-white light at the mountain peak.

"So that's how you play it. I almost became a reckless brute."

Jiang Ming muttered to himself, then took the Sky-Piercing Spear and retreated.

The suppression of fighting spirit in this place is too strong. Although it can enhance fighting spirit, he cannot sustain this level of fighting spirit for long, which is not conducive to the enhancement of fighting spirit.

As time passed, Jiang Ming gradually adapted to this suppression of fighting spirit, and even took the initiative to withdraw his Martial Soul True Body.

When one's fighting spirit is not strong enough, one needs to use the Martial Soul True Body to support the strength of the body. However, when one can withstand the attack with just one's fighting spirit, there is no need to use the Martial Soul True Body.

Pure combat spirit is the fastest way to boost one's fighting spirit!

The War God Domain remained open for three full days before Jiang Ming returned to the position closest to the platinum-gold light.

But Jiang Ming's physical condition at this time was completely different from when he first arrived here.

Although he still felt the powerful and terrifying suppression of the battle intent, he was now able to stabilize himself and fight back and forth with the battle intent that was suppressing him!

He took another step forward!
Another step!
Stop every ten meters, sit cross-legged to adjust to the intensity of the battle.

This continued for a full month until Jiang Ming finally arrived in front of the platinum-gold light.

At this moment, he felt no heavy feeling of being suppressed by his fighting spirit. Instead, he felt extremely excited, as if his fighting spirit had been completely ignited!

Jiang Ming looked at the platinum-gold light, slowly reached out his hand, and tentatively touched it, imbued with his own fighting spirit.

The next second, the brightness of the platinum-gold light gradually increased.

With a flash of light, the dark golden light transformed into a human figure!
"This is... the Ancient God of War!"

Jiang Ming had seen the ancient war god once in an illusion, so when the platinum-gold light transformed into this human form, Jiang Ming recognized it immediately.

Soon, the ancient war god opened his eyes.

Almost the instant he opened his eyes, the entire mountain trembled!

Boundless fighting spirit converged from all directions of the mountain, entering the body of the ancient war god and making the light he emitted even more dazzling!
"you"

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the ancient war god.

But soon, he seemed to remember something, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"You arrived even faster than I expected."

Although Jiang Ming did not enter the ancient battlefield of gods in his true form last time, he was able to enter the war of gods back then through the illusion. That was because he manipulated things inside. Otherwise, Jiang Ming would not have been able to see the real ancient battlefield of gods through the illusion!

The ancient war god looked Jiang Ming up and down and continued, "You came here to upgrade the war god deity back to a first-level god, right? Hehe, you do have a good chance."

As he spoke, the ancient war god waved his hand, and all the fighting spirit on the entire mountain disappeared.

"However, your fighting spirit is still lacking."

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying fighting spirit pressed Jiang Ming down!
"Back then, I stood on the side of the Dragon God during the War of Gods. The Dragon God was defeated and perished, and so was I. Even the God of War was weakened to level two. Alas, because of my personal reasons, I weakened the God of War's status to level two, which is truly a disservice to the God of War who came after me."

He sighed and said in a deep voice, "However, it is extremely difficult to rise from a second-level deity back to a first-level deity. Even in your current situation, there is no guarantee of success. All I can do is help you become stronger here!"

The God of War is different from the God of the Sun. The Dragon Gods are the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, born from the essence of the sun and moon. The God of the Sun is already bound to the Dragon God to a certain extent, but the God of War is not bound in this way.

He only sided with the Dragon God back then because he had a good personal relationship with him.

However, he did not regret it. That super artifact, the War God Dragon Spear, was the super artifact he upgraded by combining the War God artifact with a dragon soul given by the Dragon God!

Without the Dragon God, his God of War would only be an ordinary peak level one deity, and it would be difficult for him to reach the level of a God-King.

He just felt bad that his actions had lowered the divine status of the God of War.

Fortunately, Jiang Ming arrived!
He had met the previous God of War, so to speak.
Whether it's talent or anything else, it's impossible to raise the God of War back to his original state, but Jiang Ming has that possibility!

What he needs to do now is to keep expanding this possibility!
Jiang Ming's fighting spirit had already reached a high level after the recent trials and clashes, but that was not enough.

If Jiang Ming wants to upgrade the God of War from a level two god to a level one god, he will need even greater power!

After all, this process has to go through the hands of the five great god-kings of the God Realm Council.

If you're too weak, you're not even qualified to talk to those five about raising your godhood.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ming gradually adapted to the ever-increasing suppression of the ancient war god's battle intent, and even began to fight the war god's battle intent to a standstill.

At one point, the ancient war god's fighting spirit vanished, and he directly flew with Jiang Ming to a certain place on the ancient god's battlefield.

Jiang Ming asked in confusion, "Senior, where are we going?"

The ancient war god said in a deep voice, "Go find the remnant of the Asura God, defeat him, and you'll be done with me." (End of this chapter)
