Back Flash and Liu Erlong's Attempt

"What is Derivative Spirit Skill?" Tang San asked, puzzled.

"As the name suggests, it's Soul Skill derived from the Soul Skill in the Soul Ring. You should be familiar with this," Chen Feng explained.

"It's not unfamiliar." Tang San thought for a moment, "You mean the Flash Seed of my Blue Silver Grass?"

"That's right, Flash Seed is a standard Derivative Spirit Skill." Chen Feng nodded. "Actually, I initially wanted to create my Self-Created Soul Skill, but that was too difficult, so I had to settle for a shortcut."

Judging from his failure this time, his initial success with Tai Chi Skill can be attributed to a combination of luck and hard work.

He was fortunate to enter Enlightenment State that is rare and hard to come by. Coupled with years of practice in Heavy Sword, he finally accumulated enough knowledge and skills to create Tai Chi Skill.

Of course, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, as a foundation, is also indispensable. If Chen Feng were to start from scratch to complete a martial arts technique, he would definitely be at a loss.

"Speaking of which, how did your chat with Uncle Hao go?" Chen Feng asked.

"Dad told me what happened back then, Xiao Feng, you guessed right." Tang San didn't continue, but Chen Feng already understood what he meant.

"Then you should cultivate diligently and strive to achieve your dream as soon as possible," Chen Feng said.

Tang San nodded, and the two ended the conversation there.

If others overheard their conversation, they would likely be completely confused and wouldn't understand what they were talking about.

This is precisely why Chen Feng wanted to be a riddle teller.

The topic of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transforming into a human is quite sensitive, and it's best not to discuss it anywhere; this is a necessary precaution.

Even though they are in a small village now, and even though there are only the two of them in the dormitory, they still have to be wary of the possibility of being overheard.

Back then, the Blue Silver Emperor had already broken through to the Soul Saint realm, and his aura was indistinguishable from that of a human. However, his identity was still leaked in the end. It is very likely that Tang Hao was not careful with his words when he was with the Blue Silver Emperor, which led to the final tragedy.

Therefore, Chen Feng paid close attention to this matter. He only discussed the topic of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transforming into a human when he was in the Star Dou Great Forest with the Ape God guarding him.

He rarely talks about these things when he's out in public, and even if he does, he does so in a cryptic and ambiguous way, making sure to leave no openings.

Having been through countless spy thrillers, being a riddle solver shouldn't be a problem for him.

Influenced by him, Tang San also became quite cautious in his speech. Although he was not as good at riddles as Chen Feng, the two could still communicate without any problems.

"By the way, speaking of Flash Seed, I've thought of a way to use them in team battles these past couple of days so that teammates won't be too affected," Chen Feng said suddenly, as if remembering something.

"Oh? What method?" Tang San immediately became interested.

"Back Flash." Chen Feng uttered two words.

"Back Flash?" Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled. "Does that mean after throwing the Flash Seed, everyone should turn their backs? That probably won't work, will it?"

"That won't do," Chen Feng, somewhat amused. "What I meant was for you to throw the Flash Seed behind you, or more precisely, above and behind all your teammates."

Tang San understood, "This way, the Flash Seed can flash to the enemy, but our side won't be affected too much, allowing us to launch an attack."

Chen Feng nodded. "That's right, exactly. Since you're in the command and control role in the team, and your position is relatively far back, it's perfect for using the Back Flash technique in combat."

"That sounds pretty good. I'll try it out when Xiao Wu and I have Two-on-Two Soul Fighting Battle. If it works well, we'll use it in Team Battle." Tang San thought Chen Feng's idea was quite good; at least it seemed plausible in theory.

However, the actual results will only be known after practical application.

The next morning, while it was still barely light.

Chen Feng and Tang San then went to the rooftop to cultivate their Purple Demon Eye.

After they finished absorbing the purple energy, they suddenly heard voices coming from below.

"Good morning, Miss Meng Yiran." It was Oscar's voice.

"Actually, you can just call me Yiran. That's what my family and friends call me," Meng Yiran's smiling voice came from behind.

"Well... let's go explore Suotuo City then." Oscar sounded visibly shy.

Watching the two walk out of the village, Chen Feng and Tang San exchanged a glance, both seeing the smile in each other's eyes.

"Xiao Ao acted quite decisively," Chen Feng commented.

"Indeed, but I talked to Meng Yiran about drug production before, and Oscar seemed a little unhappy about it," Tang San said.

"The main problem is that he can't get a word in edgewise. You two are chatting away so enthusiastically, but he can only watch from the sidelines. Naturally, he won't feel good about it." Chen Feng could understand the thoughts of teenage boys.

"Then I'd better keep my distance from Meng Yiran from now on," Tang San sighed.

"No need for that. Since Meng Yiran is interested in making poison, you don't need to deliberately ignore her. That would easily damage the relationship between classmates. If she feels ostracized and runs home, that would be troublesome," Chen Feng said, shaking his head.

He was still eager to figure out the secrets of the Serpent Cane, so naturally he couldn't let Meng Yiran leave over such a trivial matter.

"But Xiao Ao will definitely feel uncomfortable if this happens." Tang San was somewhat conflicted.

He naturally wanted someone to discuss poisons with, even if Meng Yiran was just a Scholar, she was still a kindred spirit.

However, this would definitely cause Oscar to misunderstand, so Tang San was in a dilemma.

Chen Feng smiled and said:

"The Xiao San Oscar is uncomfortable is because he can't join your conversation. You just need to bring him in too."

"You mean I should also explain to Xiao Ao how to make poison?" Tang San asked.

"That works too, but don't you think there's a better way?"

Tang San didn't quite understand what Chen Feng meant, so Chen Feng had to remind him:

"Xiao Ao's second Soul Skill can detoxify. Don't you need to test the effects after you make the poison? Wouldn't it be more convenient to test the effects if Xiao Ao helped?"

"Oh right, how could I forget that?" Tang San suddenly realized, "Xiao Ao's Detoxifying Sweet Garlic will be helpful for poison experiments."

This is, after all, another world, and the experience of making poison in my previous life may not be able to be completely transferred here. Therefore, after making poison, there will inevitably be a process of testing its effects.

Having Detoxifying Sweet Garlic would be very convenient at this time.

"However, you should also be careful. Xiao Ao's Sweet Garlic is ultimately only his second Soul Skill, and it's impossible for it to cure all the poisons in the world, so don't go too far," Chen Feng reminded them again.

Tang San nodded and said, "Don't worry about that. Although Meng Yiran's herbs are a bit better than what you see on the market, it's still impossible for her to make a rare poison. So even if I wanted to go all out, I couldn't."

"Okay, that's fine then." Chen Feng was genuinely worried that these two might get carried away with the drugs and wanted to try them himself to experience the feeling.

If Oscar's Sweet Garlic doesn't work at this point, then things will get really messed up.

After filling his stomach at the Cafeteria, Chen Feng went to the dean's office to find Flender, wanting to talk to the dean about the topic of Spirit Power Liquefaction.

After knocking twice, Flender's voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Chen Feng pushed open the door and went inside, where he saw the Golden Iron Triangle all there.

"Xiao Feng, is there something you need?" the Grandmaster asked.

Liu Erlong glanced at Chen Feng, already recognizing him as the renowned Biological Pioneer, and was secretly amazed by Chen Feng age.

"My lords, I have a question I'd like to ask you," Chen Feng said as he entered the office.

"What's the problem?" Flender gestured to the chair next to him, indicating that Chen Feng should sit down.

After Chen Feng sat down, he asked:

"I would like to ask the Dean and Aunt Erlong, in what state does your Soul Power manifest?"

"Status? What does that mean?" Flender was a little confused.

"So you mean your Soul Power is gaseous?" Chen Feng asked, having clarified a bit more.

"Yes, Soul Power is naturally gaseous, what's wrong with that?" Liu Erlong gave an unsurprising answer.

Flender nodded, clearly agreeing with Liu Erlong.

"Two commanders, have you considered making your Soul Power more condensed?" Chen Feng asked.

"More refined?" Flender's expression turned serious. "Tell me your thoughts."

He never treated Chen Feng as an ordinary child. Seeing Chen Feng's serious expression, Flender knew that this genius Scholar had something on his mind again.

As expected, Chen Feng revealed his idea about the Spirit Power Liquefaction.

"Spirit Power Liquefaction..." Flender and the other two began to ponder.

"That's right. My idea is to compress Soul Power to make it more condensed. Water vapor in the air condenses into water, and I suspect that Soul Power may undergo a similar change."

"However, because my current cultivation level is not high enough and my control over my Soul Power is insufficient, I need to ask my two masters for help," Chen Feng said.

Because he was worried that the Spirit Hall would receive an epic-level enhancement, Chen Feng did not mention the concept of Soul Power solidification, but only talked about Spirit Power Liquefaction.

As for Dugu Bo, Chen Feng wasn't worried that he would spread the news, because Dugu Bo was a very aloof person and not a big mouth.

However, just to be on the safe side, Chen Feng still planned to talk to Dugu Bo later and ask him not to reveal the matter of the Spirit Power Core.

After thinking for a while, the Grandmaster spoke:

"Xiao Feng, your idea is theoretically feasible. After Soul Power Compression, the amount of Soul Power stored in the body will definitely increase. Therefore, under the same level, the Soul Master who has compressed the Soul Power should be stronger."

"However, the problem lies in whether this is even possible. Although Soul Power is in a gaseous state, it is not a true gas, so compressing it would be quite difficult."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Yes, this matter will definitely be difficult, so I would like to ask the two division commanders to try it out first and see what problems arise."

"Then I'll give it a try first," Liu Erlong said.

She was always decisive in matters outside of relationships, so after listening to Chen Feng's explanation, she immediately began to practice without saying a word.

Flender had no objection. "Alright, then Xiao Gang and I will protect you."

Liu Erlong sat cross-legged on the chair, closed his eyes, and began to try compressing his Soul Power.

After a while, fine beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead, clearly indicating that she was feeling the strain.

However, Liu Erlong is a tenacious and stubborn person who will not easily admit defeat. Since the genius Scholar Chen Feng said that compressing Soul Power is feasible, and the Grandmaster also expressed his approval, Liu Erlong is determined to try it with all her might.

So even though she was already feeling the strain, she continued to compress her Soul Power.

At this moment, Chen Feng spoke up:

"It doesn't have to be done all at once; we can proceed step by step. The main thing is to verify whether this approach is truly feasible."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong changed her approach and began to compress her Soul Power in batches, just as Chen Feng had suggested.

As a result, the resistance she felt was significantly reduced.

After some time, Liu Erlong opened her eyes and let out a long breath.

"How did it go? Did it succeed?" Chen Feng asked impatiently.

"It wasn't entirely successful, but my Soul Power has indeed undergone some changes," Liu Erlong said after thinking for a moment. "If I had to describe it, I'd say my Soul Power is currently in a misty state."

"Mist-like?" Chen Feng's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the preliminary state of Spirit Power Liquefaction?

"It actually did change!" Flender exclaimed in amazement. "Since Soul Power can turn into mist, if we continue like this, the accumulated mist can condense into liquid. It seems Xiao Feng's idea is correct. Xiao Feng, how did you come up with this?"

"Just some random thought," Chen Feng said with a smile. "Yesterday, when I was chatting with Poison Douluo, we talked about Soul Power. I learned that his Soul Power became more condensed after he advanced to Titled Douluo, so I was thinking about whether Soul Master could actively accelerate this process. That way, it might even reduce the difficulty of advancing to Titled Douluo."

He wasn't just making this up. The essence of the Soul Core Cultivation Method, which allows one to advance to the Titled Douluo, is to enhance the condensation of Soul Power, thereby enabling one to break through to the Titled Douluo realm with a larger total amount of Soul Power.

By the same token, Spirit Power Liquefaction should also have the same effect, but its effect will certainly not be as good as the Soul Core Cultivation Method.

Without anyone pushing for it, creating the grand spectacle of hundreds of Titled Douluo existing simultaneously, as was the case in the Douluo Dalu 2 era, would likely require a very long period of development.

This not only requires someone with exceptional talent to derive the Soul Core Cultivation Method based on the theory of Spirit Power Liquefaction, but also requires that person not hoard the Soul Core Cultivation Method and to spread it widely. Meeting both of these requirements is no easy task.

Even with theoretical guidance, Dugu Bo might not be able to successfully condense a Soul Core.

This period is Chen Feng's development stage.
