Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

This little fox...

Lin Feng shook his head and looked at the crowd below.

"Well then, after today, you will all return to your respective families. There is a banquet tonight at a hotel in the west of Spirit City. It is not mandatory. If you are interested, you can go and participate."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he turned and walked up the mountain.

The gazes of the few women moved slightly, and they also followed Lin Feng towards the Pope's Hall.

Just at this moment, Tang San ignored Yu Tianheng, who wanted to put an arm around his shoulder, and ran in front of Lin Feng.

He cupped his hands very "politely." "Your Highness, Holy Son, I wonder if you have any immortal herbs left?"

Lin Feng looked at him with amusement and spread his hands. "No."

No, my ass!

A black line appeared on Tang San's face. He didn't believe for a second that this fellow could have used up all the immortal herbs. He had already found out clearly that it had been several years since Dugu Bo had come to Spirit Hall. For him to be able to keep the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew until now, he definitely had other immortal herbs left.

"Your Highness, Holy Son, there is something you don't know. This immortal herb has a unique harvesting technique and method of consumption. If it is consumed rashly, I'm afraid that not only will it be unable to exert its true effect, but it may also be harmful to the body," Tang San's words carried a trace of urgency and sincerity as he tried to persuade Lin Feng.

Hearing this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. "Then you guess, how did I collect it? Spirit Hall has plenty of people who understand. Why are you so eager for an immortal herb? The trial before was so simple. Why were you the last one to come out? Why didn't you work hard then? If you had been the first to come out, you might still have had a chance to compete for this Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew."

Tang San was stunned, a trace of annoyance flashing in the depths of his eyes. He didn't even know what had happened. He had inexplicably fainted. Although he had obtained the time-bomb version of the Gold of Life. Spirit Hall has people who understand... is it that Chrysanthemum Douluo Dugu Bo and he, this pair of bickering lovers, have become colleagues directly in this life?

"But, speaking of which, I do have one more plant here."

Tang San's eyes lit up. The other few also looked on with anticipation.

"Little Red."

The Yearning Heartbroken Red floated in Lin Feng's hand. The blood-colored petals seemed to contain endless emotions. As it gently swayed, it emitted a faint, dark fragrance, causing the few people around to unconsciously take a breath.

"Yearning Heartbroken Red."

Tang San's eye sockets were red. He read it out one word at a time.

"You're quite knowledgeable."

Tang San's voice was a little hoarse. "It... who picked it?"

"My partner."

Seeing Tang San was silent, Lin Feng said directly, "I see you have quite an obsession with immortal herbs, so I took it out to see if you are a person of utmost sentiment and nature. This flower is the king among flowers."

"It can distinguish a person's true heart. If one thinks of the person they love deeply, and if it is recognized, it will have a reaction. Of course, it already has a master and will not choose a master again."

Tang San looked at the Yearning Heartbroken Red quietly. He really wanted to snatch it and run away, but he couldn't do it.

Lin Feng continued, "If you can get its approval, then I can give you a chance, set another test. After you pass, you can come to me again to discuss the matter of the immortal herb."

Ning Rongrong and the others looked at each other. They had long heard of Qian Renxue's Yearning Heartbroken Red. All of their eyes were shining as they looked at this immortal herb.

A pleasant surprise flashed in Tang San's eyes. Isn't this a sure thing?

"Come on!"

Tang San closed his eyes, thinking of Xiao Wu's name in his heart, recalling those memories. The red light of the Yearning Heartbroken Red flickered slightly but seemed somewhat illusory.

And in Tang San's mind, the picture continued. Those memories were hazy. Suddenly, Yu Ruyan's name appeared in his heart, making him frown. Following that were the experiences of getting along with Yu Ruyan. These memories were instead clearer. His thoughts were suddenly in a mess, as if two forces were intertwining in his heart, making it difficult for him to choose.

He cursed silently in his heart. When he opened his eyes to look, sure enough, the Yearning Heartbroken Red had long since returned to Lin Feng's palm.

"You can go back now."

Lin Feng shook his head and put away the Yearning Heartbroken Red.

No!—

Why didn't I pass? Why!!!

Tang San roared in the bottom of his heart. Damn it! I should have had Yu Ruyan come! Her feelings for me would definitely have been able to take this immortal herb!

Yu Tianheng comforted, "Tang San, don't be discouraged. In the end, at our age, what do we know about love? It's fine if you didn't pass the test."

Tang San gave Yu Tianheng a cold look, snorted, and turned to leave.

"Hey—"

Yu Tianheng frowned. Is this fellow really about to have a marriage alliance with my own family or not? I haven't even gotten tangled up in the matter of him not truly loving Yu Ruyan, yet he's throwing a tantrum?

Yu Ruyan... forget it. It's fine if it's not true love. Yu Tianheng shook his head, looking at the departing Tang San with some pity.

"What are you all following me for? Aren't you going to cultivate?" Lin Feng was somewhat surprised.

The few girls had been staring at Lin Feng's storage belt all along. Although their hearts also wanted Little Red to give them a "test," what if they weren't approved? They couldn't afford to lose face.

Dugu Yan pulled Ye Lingling and said, "We still have questions to ask the teacher."

Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, rolled her eyes and said with the air of a little old woman, "Father said that Teacher Lin Feng also promised to research my martial soul problem. Last time you said you had some clues and then disappeared without a trace. This time I'm staying."

Lin Feng pointed at Ning Rongrong. "My original words were to 'research it'. It wasn't to 'completely solve it'. How can you come to collect a debt? Forget it, I'll let you see some results. It can also be considered the first handover. Let's go to the library first."

In a room of the library, Lin Feng handed the Innate Treasure Pearl to Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong tilted her head. "Teacher, why are you showing me your martial soul? Although it's very pretty, and very 'rua'-able."

Lin Feng rolled his eyes at Ning Rongrong. "All of you, take a good look."

Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong looked left and right, both somewhat at a loss. On the other hand, Ye Lingling said softly, "A very strange feeling. My martial soul has the domain of purification, so my perception of aura is very sensitive. Brother Xiao Feng's this martial soul, it doesn't seem to be a physical object..."

"Not a physical object? How is that possible!?"

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan both cried out in surprise. That Lin Feng's Innate Treasure Pearl was a tool martial soul was something they had known for a long time. Now it wasn't a physical object? Could it be that it was condensed from pure energy?

But was this reasonable?

Ning Rongrong reached out and tapped the Innate Treasure Pearl, making a crisp sound. Several question marks appeared above her head. I can even touch it. And you're telling me it's not a physical object?

"This is a projection of my martial soul," Lin Feng explained. "It is not a true entity. Setting other things aside for now, didn't Rongrong want to solve her martial soul's limitation of not being able to advance to Titled Douluo?"

"Here, is the solution. Look closely at its form. Compared to the five colors of the past, isn't there a trace more of a chaotic color?"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong once again focused her gaze to look closely at the Innate Treasure Pearl. Sure enough, she discovered that in the originally clear and distinct five colors, there seemed to be a wisp of an indescribable chaotic color mixed in, making the entire treasure pearl look even more profound and full of the unknown.

"It's really there! This... what does this mean?" Ning Rongrong asked with confusion, her heart both surprised and curious.

Lin Feng smiled faintly and patiently explained, "Because that chaotic color is the final form of my Innate Treasure Pearl. You can also understand it this way: it is now evolving."

"Evolving!!!"

Ning Rongrong and the others cried out in surprise. The two words "evolving" exploded like thunder in Ning Rongrong's mind. Among the three here, besides her, the martial souls of the others were all evolved. She had been envious for a long time.

Now hearing Lin Feng say this, and plus he was clarifying it for her, it was clearly saying that this was the path for her martial soul's limitation to be lifted. Her gaze moved slightly. She delightedly ran behind Lin Feng and began to massage his shoulders.

"Teacher~ how much longer until you can help me?~~"

"When you are a Soul King."

"Ah?!"

Ning Rongrong was stunned, pouting, but the movements of her hands did not stop. "That's too long..."

Lin Feng shot an annoyed glare at Ning Rongrong. "Do you know how difficult it is to implement this kind of thing? I myself haven't even completely perfected the method yet. A Soul King is a level of cultivation I can achieve myself. If it were you, a Soul Sage would be about right!"

"Ah—"

Ning Rongrong pouted, somewhat not wanting to speak anymore.

Lin Feng was amused. She's already shut down?

"Ahem, when it's time to let you know, I will let you know. That this method will allow your martial souls to transform into the form they should be is a certainty. Of course, the process will still require another kind of power of mine. Yanyan, spit out a pool of poison."

Dugu Yan's breath caught. "Brother Lin Feng, what do you take me for?"

"Er, release your poison?"

Dugu Yan unwillingly released her soul skill. A cloud of purple mist was controlled by her into a ball, floating before the few of them. Lin Feng flicked a finger, and a speck of golden light entered it. In an instant, the poison mist disappeared without a trace, leaving only the speck of golden light, slightly dimmer.

Dugu Yan opened her mouth wide, looking at the speck of golden light in shock. She knew very well the power of her poison. Even a soul master of the same level would have a headache if they were touched by it. But now it had been so lightly dealt with by this speck of golden light?

"This is the thing that will be used in the future," Lin Feng sent this speck of True Qi into Ning Rongrong's palm. "Take it back and report to your father first."

"Oh oh!—" Ning Rongrong looked at the True Qi in her palm strangely. What majestic and pure energy. She could almost feel the infinite possibilities contained within it.

Dugu Yan blinked her eyes. "Brother Lin Feng, have you done a lot more research? You just haven't released it yet?"

"Guess?"

"Then you must have! Teach us~~"

"Teach us~"

"Teach~"

Lin Feng was being shaken by Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong. He said helplessly, "It's not perfected yet. Don't ask. Right now, it will only be harmful to an ordinary soul master. Stop shaking. Look at Lingling. She is very quiet."

Ye Lingling silently withdrew the two fingers that were pinching Lin Feng's clothes, her face red.

"Alright, I should go. See you at the Spirit Hall academy. Don't follow me this time. I'm going back to the small wooden house," he waved his hand, and his figure disappeared in a flash, not giving them a chance to track him.

Dugu Yan's footsteps paused. She snorted. "Brother Lin Feng has gone to accompany Sister Xue'er again. I'm so envious of the two of them."

Ye Lingling said weakly, "And Sister Ling Yuan..."

Dugu Yan stroked her chin. "By the way, Auntie Ye Zixin said your mother has a strategy guide. Is it true?"

Ye Lingling's face turned red. She stammered, "Of... of course not."

"A strategy guide? What strategy guide?" Ning Rongrong interjected.

"Little children shouldn't ask about this!"

"Tsk, how much older are you than me, little poison snake!"

"You're asking for a beating!" For a time, this library was filled with laughter. The few girls frolicked into a group, adding a bit of life to the originally solemn library.

And in the study at the back of the Pope's Hall.

"Bang bang bang—"

"Enter."

"Teacher."

Bibi Dong put down the booklet in her hand, looking at the direction of the door with some surprise.

"Nana? Weren't you supposed to go to the Weiyu Grotto-Heaven with Xiao Feng? You're already back?"

Hu Liena closed the door, lay on the edge of Bibi Dong's desk, and looked at her with resentment. "Mmm, I'm back. But Teacher, have you forgotten something?"

"Forgotten what?"

Bibi Dong was stunned, frowning as she thought. Did I forget something? Looking at the little fox's resentful appearance, did I promise her something? Er...

Bibi Dong opened her mouth, only then did she recall. It seemed she had promised to let her assist her. Let her be a master-rushing disciple. Mmm...

She coughed awkwardly. "Did I? Teacher doesn't remember."

"Teacher, you're trying to go back on your word!" Hu Liena squatted down, gently tapping on Bibi Dong's thigh, and said with some dissatisfaction, "How can Teacher be like this..."

Bibi Dong stroked Hu Liena's head and sighed. Back then, when she had a dispute with Qian Renxue, she had inexplicably wanted to find a helper. Besides Ah Yin, she had also found Hu Liena in advance.

Who could have predicted that before the shura field had even started, the match would be killed by the Gu Yuena who had descended from heaven? Hu Liena didn't even have the qualification to enter the field.

Later, she had been going back and forth between the small wooden house and the Pope's Hall. Her relationship with Qian Renxue had already eased and had even become closer. She had forgotten about Hu Liena.

Now, she had a bit of a headache.

Bibi Dong pondered for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, Hu Liena grabbed the hand that Bibi Dong had placed on her head, looked up at her, a couple of teardrops on her pretty face, and said gently, "Teacher, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

"Mmm."

This time, Bibi Dong was somewhat in a predicament. She looked at Hu Liena's expectant eyes, and a trace of guilt rose in her heart. Indeed, she had promised Hu Liena that she would let her participate. But now, the development of events had far exceeded her expectations. She had almost forgotten this little fox.

"Alright, Nana. Teacher admits that this time, it was my negligence," Bibi Dong sighed lightly, her tone full of helplessness. "But you also know, too many things have happened recently, I..."

"Teacher, you don't have to explain," Hu Liena shook her head, interrupting Bibi Dong's words. "I just know, Teacher, you won't abandon me, right?"

"Nana!"

Bibi Dong's tone suddenly changed, becoming somewhat serious. "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Hu Liena shot up with a "tseng," her heart apprehensive. But she still spoke, "Nana wouldn't dare. It's just that Nana really wants to contribute a force for Teacher. Sister Ah Yin is not enough!"

Not enough my ass... Bibi Dong's face was a black line. If you had ever seen Gu Yuena, you would be ashamed of yourself. Only she and Xue'er can fight. She's even thinking now, should she discuss it with Xue'er, to team up once and make Xiao Feng sink under their hands? Although it's unknown if Xue'er would agree...

I still remember the first time, the feeling of making Xiao Feng call me 'mama'. It was quite exciting...

Bibi Dong shook her head, shaking the strange thoughts out of her mind. She took Hu Liena's hand and said with a straight face, "Don't worry, Nana. I have always kept your matter in my heart."

"Really?" Hu Liena had a strange look. Didn't you just forget about it?

"Of course. I am your teacher. Would I lie to you? It's just that you can't enter the field yet. When I mediate a bit more, I will soon let you get what you wish for. After all, helping you is also helping me."

Hu Liena's eyes lit up. Her small mouth pouted, as if with both surprise and some disbelief at Bibi Dong's words. "Teacher, is what you said true? You won't forget me again, right?"

Bibi Dong chuckled lightly and continued to draw a pancake.

"Naturally not, Nana. Teacher promises you, this time I will absolutely not forget. You are one of my most proud disciples. How could I possibly ignore your existence? When the time is right, I will surely let you participate in my plan. We will work together to achieve our goals."

"Look at that forceful appearance of Qian Renxue. She obviously won't let you succeed easily. Leave it to me. Don't worry."

Hu Liena, listening to Bibi Dong's words, the unease in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a joy of being valued. She tightly held Bibi Dong's hand, her eyes sparkling with a firm light. "Teacher, thank you! Nana will surely work hard and will not disappoint you!"

Bibi Dong gently patted the back of Hu Liena's hand and said softly, "Nana, although we are master and disciple, I have always regarded you as half a daughter. With me here, I can surely make Xiao Feng accept you."

"Mmm mmm mmm!!!"

Hu Liena went back with a satisfied heart.

Bibi Dong put a hand to her forehead and shook her head. A leader who can't draw a pancake is not a good leader, especially one who can coax their subordinates into a daze. Although she felt a little guilty, Nana, you still have to wait a little longer...

Bibi Dong sighed. It was estimated that this girl would not be able to fancy anyone else in the future. When will be a troublesome time to take Xiao Feng to the secret room again? she thought in her heart.

Forget it. I'll see when the time comes. She took out the latest version of the Innate Soul Evolution Art from her soul tool. The Ring Condensing Method and the Meridian Shaping Method were impressively recorded on it.

Her gaze moved. It was time to have Xiao Feng help her cultivate. Her own Martial Soul True Body could not remain in that state anymore.
