Afterward, both Da Ming and Er Ming looked at Su Ming with newfound respect. Regardless of anything else, Su Ming was indeed a remarkable human.
Da Ming said, "Alright, Su Ming, show us your strength now, focusing primarily on the abilities of your eyes."
Su Ming nodded calmly. He was curious about how long he could maintain Susanoo at his current strength and whether Susanoo could withstand Er Ming's attacks.
After all, Susanoo was not native to this world. Tang San's hidden weapons could kill gods, but Su Ming didn't believe they could pierce Susanoo's defense. Otherwise, it would be as ridiculous as Danzo using kunai to stab Susanoo.
Though the top three hidden weapons of the Tang Sect were far more powerful than a kunai, Su Ming was confident that no matter how strong those hidden weapons were, they wouldn't be able to break Susanoo's defense.
After Ah Yin had her reunion with the other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, she returned to Su Ming's soul ring.
Su Ming gently tapped his foot on the ground, and four soul rings lit up simultaneously. A massive wooden dragon emerged from the ground, its size comparable to Er Ming.
Su Ming said with a calm smile, "Er Ming, this is my wood dragon, enhanced with all my soul skills. Take a look and see the difference from the inferior version I used to restrain you earlier!"
Knowing the vast difference in strength between him and Er Ming, Su Ming didn't hold back this time. He poured 80% of his soul power into this wood dragon. Its strength was now at the level of a Soul Douluo, far stronger than the one he had used against Zhao Wuji.
Under the effects of his second soul skill, Breath of Nature, Su Ming instantly recovered half of his soul power. Additionally, thanks to his third soul skill, Rooted Essence, his soul power regeneration rate increased by 50%, so it wouldn't take long to return to full strength.
Er Ming nodded slightly, intrigued by the wood dragon. The earlier one had only emitted the aura of a Soul Elder, but this one had the aura of a Soul Douluo. That was impressive.
Er Ming wondered if Su Ming had poured all his soul power into it, but looking at Su Ming, he didn't seem exhausted. Unable to figure it out, Er Ming decided not to think too hard—after all, thinking wasn't his strong suit.
Since Su Ming wanted to spar, Er Ming agreed. He threw a powerful Titan fist, intending to smash the dragon into wood chips.
Boom!
Er Ming's punch shattered the wood dragon's head, but when he looked at Su Ming, he noticed Su Ming's lips curling into a smile. The destruction of the dragon didn't worry him in the slightest.
"Er Ming, don't lose focus. Look!"
When Er Ming looked back at the shattered wood dragon, he was shocked. In the blink of an eye, the dragon had fully regenerated. Its recovery speed was unbelievable!
It had only been a moment, and the dragon had completely restored itself?
Su Ming wasn't surprised. The wood dragon was imbued with his life-attribute enhancements and further boosted by his Blue Silver Domain, making its regenerative abilities incredibly powerful.
Unwilling to believe it, Er Ming unleashed several more punches, reducing the wood dragon to splinters. However, each time, it quickly regenerated. This thing was practically indestructible!
Even Su Ming was surprised. He hadn't expected the wood dragon to regenerate so quickly. Unless it was completely annihilated, it seemed capable of regenerating infinitely.
Er Ming, feeling worn out just by watching this dragon, and both Da Ming and Xiao Wu were equally stunned.
Xiao Wu thought, "Brother Su Ming is amazing!"
Er Ming gave up on trying to destroy the dragon and decided to test its offensive power instead. If nothing else worked, he'd obliterate it with a full-force attack.
Seeing that Er Ming wasn't attacking anymore, Su Ming grinned internally. He commanded the wood dragon to wrap itself around Er Ming and bite down hard.
Er Ming didn't feel much pain—after all, his body was extremely tough—but suddenly, he felt his soul power rapidly draining away. The wood dragon was devouring his soul power!
Er Ming, shocked, exclaimed, "Big brother, this wood dragon is not only insanely durable but can also absorb my soul power!"
In the short time that Er Ming spoke, the wood dragon had visibly grown larger and stronger as it absorbed more of Er Ming's energy.
Satisfied, Su Ming nodded. Instead of using the absorbed soul power to replenish himself, he channeled it into strengthening the wood dragon. The results were impressive.
With a wave of Su Ming's hand, the wood dragon released Er Ming and obediently retreated to the side. It was time to test his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Su Ming wasn't going to use any other Wood Release techniques on Er Ming since weaker ones wouldn't work on him.
At his current level, the wood dragon was his most effective tool. He could summon the wood golem, but it consumed far too much of his soul power. The golem's size and strength were comparable to a fully evolved Susanoo, with a dragon wrapped around it. However, summoning it wasn't efficient now, especially since Su Ming could already summon a fully formed Susanoo with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. There was no need for redundancy.
Once his strength improved further, the wood dragon could retire, and he could rely on the wood golem.
Su Ming calmly said, "Now, let me show you the full capabilities of my Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!"
"Activate!"
Before their eyes, a towering blue humanoid energy figure appeared. It had wings on its back and black weapons shaped like Su Ming's eye patterns in its hands. Su Ming himself merged with the figure, standing within a pentagonal frame on its head.
It was Su Ming's first time summoning the complete Susanoo, and as he felt his mental energy drain, he calculated that he could maintain it for about an hour. Of course, using techniques like Kamui during battle would reduce that time, but an hour was more than enough for now!
Looking at the giant shuriken in Susanoo's hands, Su Ming couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.
In Naruto, Sasuke's Susanoo wielded Indra's Bow and dual swords, and Itachi's had the Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror, all legendary weapons. Meanwhile, Obito's had...a regular shuriken.
Su Ming vowed to obtain a powerful divine weapon from the system eventually. While this giant shuriken was powerful when combined with Kamui, it still paled compared to a divine weapon.
