Cat Hawk

"No matter how powerful I am, I'm still not as powerful as Brother Ye Feng. You're almost Level 30, while I'm only Level 20." Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Ye Feng and spoke resentfully.

She had already worked so hard, yet the gap between her and Ye Feng only kept growing wider.

If Ye Feng had not often comforted her, she might have lost confidence long ago.

"Haha, our Rongrong is very impressive too. Ordinary people can't become Soul Grandmasters this quickly." Ye Feng rubbed Ning Rongrong's little head and comforted her.

"Hehe, I'm a genius, so of course I'm impressive too."

Ye Feng's teasing made Ning Rongrong beam with delight, and she no longer had the heart to feel resentful.

"Hurry and tell Teacher this good news. Let him be happy too."

"Mm, I'm going right now." Having broken through in level, Ning Rongrong could not wait to obtain her Second Spirit Ring.

Sure enough, Ning Fengzhi was extremely happy about Ning Rongrong's breakthrough. Early the next morning, he took Ning Rongrong out to hunt for a spirit ring.

This time, Ye Feng did not accompany them, because he had something more important to do.

By his calculations, his Martial Soul could evolve today. There would certainly be major changes then, so he did not bother joining in on the excitement.

"Ding! After diligent cultivation, your Martial Soul's Evolution Progress has reached its maximum value. Bloodline ascension has begun..."

"Ding! Your Martial Soul has successfully evolved into a Cat Hawk Martial Soul."

As the notification sounded, Ye Feng's body underwent enormous changes.

Before Ye Feng could summon it, his Martial Soul automatically possessed him. A pair of grayish-white wings extended from his body, while patches of feathers emerged across him.

As time passed, the wings became broader, and the originally grayish-white feathers gradually turned pitch-black.

The black wings made Ye Feng's temperament even colder and sharper.

Especially those piercing eyes of his—they were like blades, filled with aggression.

At the same time, Ye Feng felt the blood in his entire body boiling, and his physique received an immense boost.

"I never expected my Martial Soul to evolve into a Cat Hawk. It seems the direction of Martial Soul Evolution has a great deal to do with spirit rings!" A gleam flashed through Ye Feng's eyes, as though two sharp rays of light shot forth.

His Second Spirit Ring had come from a Cat Hawk. In fact, when he absorbed that Cat Hawk spirit ring, his Martial Soul had already shown certain signs. Ye Feng had simply assumed it was normal. After all, his Martial Soul had constantly been evolving, so it was only natural for it to differ from others.

But now that his Martial Soul had evolved into a Cat Hawk, he had a new guess.

That meant that the next time he hunted for a spirit ring, he could not only consider the spirit skill's effects. He also had to take the spirit beast's bloodline into account.

"Ding! Stimulated by your Martial Soul, your Accelerate Spirit Skill has been stimulated. With the aid of Wind Riding Flight, it has broken through its rank and undergone fusion evolution."

"Ding! Your Accelerate Spirit Skill and Wind Riding Flight have fused into one, becoming Swift Flight."

In an instant, Ye Feng felt the knowledge in his mind begin to churn. His insights into the Accelerate Spirit Skill and Wind Riding Flight collided and merged, eventually becoming a brand-new spirit ring skill.

The new skill focused on acceleration, with Wind Riding Flight as support. By controlling airflow, it greatly increased his own speed.

Previously, the Accelerate Spirit Skill could increase movement speed and attack speed by one hundred percent. Each level gained afterward would increase speed by one percent.

Ye Feng was currently Level 28, so it could increase his speed by one hundred and twenty-eight percent.

But after fusing with Wind Riding Flight, Swift Flight could increase movement speed and attack speed by two hundred percent, with speed rising by one percent for every level gained.

In other words, after using Swift Flight, Ye Feng could increase his speed by two hundred and twenty-eight percent—more than tripling it.

"It can actually fuse too? That's incredible!"

Ye Feng stared blankly at the status panel, not even knowing what to say.

He had not expected his system to be capable of automatic fusion evolution. It seemed that he would need to collect more spirit skills in the future.

But spirit skills were not so easy to collect.

Even the wealthy Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessed only one Heart Separation Control spirit skill. Including Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword Style, that only made two.

From this alone, it was clear just how rare Self-Created Soul Skills were on Douluo Continent.

Over the following days, Ye Feng began testing the changes brought by his evolved Martial Soul.

He discovered that after his Martial Soul evolved into a Cat Hawk, its former lack of offensive power had completely disappeared.

With the enhancement of the Cat Hawk Martial Soul, his speed, strength, and even defense were boosted.

Among them, the change in speed was not particularly great, roughly the same as the original Sharp-tailed Swallow.

However, his strength and physique had improved immensely. After using Martial Soul Possession, those sharp eagle claws could actually tear through stone.

After experiencing the effects of his Martial Soul Evolution, Ye Feng hurriedly found Bone Douluo and reported that his Martial Soul had evolved again.

"Bone Grandpa, this is bad. My Martial Soul has mutated again."

The matter of Martial Soul Evolution could not be concealed. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Feng chose to report it proactively.

"What?" Bone Douluo's hand froze as he stroked his beard, leaving his already sparse beard even thinner.

"How did it mutate again? Hurry up and show me."

Ignoring his heartache over his beard, Bone Douluo hurriedly rose to his feet and stared at Ye Feng with a solemn expression.

"Bone Grandpa, take a look!" Ye Feng used Martial Soul Possession and released his Cat Hawk Martial Soul.

"It mutated into a Cat Hawk?" Bone Douluo was extremely knowledgeable and recognized Ye Feng's Martial Soul at a glance.

"Then is there anything wrong with me?" Ye Feng asked worriedly.

"It's fine. It doesn't seem to be a serious problem. Let me examine you again." Bone Douluo reassured Ye Feng before beginning a careful examination.

Yet after examining him for a long time, he found nothing at all.

It was as if Ye Feng's Martial Soul had always been a Cat Hawk, with no abnormalities whatsoever.

Bone Douluo had become numb to it by now.

This was not the first time Ye Feng's Martial Soul had mutated. It had already mutated several times.

Since he could not find any issues, Bone Douluo simply stopped worrying about it.

For Ye Feng, having his Martial Soul mutate into a Cat Hawk was actually a good thing.

Compared to the Sharp-tailed Swallow Martial Soul, the Cat Hawk Martial Soul was no slower, and it did not share the weakness of lacking offensive power. After the mutation, Ye Feng had instead become even stronger.

"Xiaofeng, don't worry. This is a good thing. Your physique is probably special, which is why your Martial Soul keeps mutating. But they are all beneficial mutations. They bring you nothing but advantages, no harm at all."

Afraid that Ye Feng would worry, Bone Douluo instead began comforting him.

"Then I'm relieved." Ye Feng let out a breath. It seemed he had gotten through this hurdle.
