A complete reversal
"I feel it's better to use my own image; otherwise, it looks a bit strange."
After fiddling with the Fake Chen Feng for a few moments, Tang San transformed it back into its original form.
"But I feel like this ability is perfect for confusing the opponent's judgment in battle, blurring the lines between truth and falsehood," Oscar said.
Tang San shook his head. "There's a very important problem that can't be solved: the clone doesn't have any Soul Ring, which is easy to spot."
"Hmm, right, that's a problem." Oscar nodded.
"However, sometimes you can still fool someone by doing something unexpected," Chen Feng said.
In the heat of battle, everyone is on edge. If an opponent suddenly charges at you, you might not be able to react in time to whether it's real or a feint.
"It might look better if it's paired with my Curtain," Zhu Zhuqing said at this moment.
What she called the Curtain" was her newly acquired Fourth Soul Skill, which could create Darkness Domain within a certain range.
"Indeed, in Team Battle, the Curtain and the clones of the Xiao San can indeed throw the opponent into chaos," Chen Feng nodded slightly.
Thinking about it carefully, the combination of these two Soul Skill is truly a source of horror stories.
In complete darkness, if a group of people suddenly appeared around you, all looking exactly alike and wearing stiff smiles, who wouldn't be afraid?
It's just that this world lacks photography technology; otherwise, using those two Soul Skill to make a horror movie would be even more thrilling than the Ring.
"Speaking of which, Xiao San, your hair has completely turned blue now." Chen Feng glanced at Tang San's head.
"Oh yeah, it was a gradient blue before, but now it's all blue." Ma Hongjun walked around behind Tang San and took a look, then asked, "Why is that?"
"Because my Martial Soul Evolution."
Tang San summoned a Blue Silver Grass again and examined it closely. Since he had been on the path of strengthening his Life Force, this breakthrough was actually just the last step, and the changes it brought him were not particularly obvious.
The original Blue Silver Grass was already almost as thick as a tree trunk, but this breakthrough made it look slightly more translucent. If you look closely, you can even see faint golden patterns within the Blue Silver Grass Blue Silver Grass.
This means that Tang San's Martial Soul has completely become the Blue Silver Emperor, and his Bloodline has been fully activated.
Tang San let out a soft breath. Although he knew that if he followed the path given by Chen Feng, he would eventually awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline.
But when that day arrived, he still felt a little excited.
"Martial Soul Evolution?" The others who were unaware of the situation were somewhat surprised.
Tang San nodded and said:
"Xiao Feng initially speculated that my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul might not be simple, because although my Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, it has Innate Full Soul Power, while the quality of Blue Silver Grass is insufficient to support Innate Full Soul Power."
"Oh, I see. Right, how come I didn't think of that? My Innate Soul Power is only level eight, and I have Phoenix Spirit." Ma Hongjun scratched his head.
"Maybe it's just a fake phoenix," Dai Mubai said, arms crossed.
"Then you're a fake White Tiger too. Your Innate Soul Power isn't even at level ten, is it?" Ma Hongjun sneered.
If it were the old him, and Dai Mubai questioned the authenticity of the Phoenix Spirit like this, he would most likely have exploded.
However, after consuming the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and fully awakening his phoenix Bloodline, Ma Hongjun no longer easily became interested in this topic.
Ultimately, truth and falsehood are in the eye of the beholder; someone as handsome as him must be a true phoenix.
No one paid attention to the bickering between the two; everyone was enlightened by Chen Feng's unique perspective on Tang San's martial soul.
Ning Rongrong murmured:
"In that case, even if I hadn't eaten the Aromatic Silk Beauty, I would still have a chance to upgrade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Eight Treasure, but I doubt I could reach the Nine Treasures level."
After all, her Innate Soul Power was level nine, not level ten.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on the few people with Innate Full Soul Power.
Among these eleven people, Chen Feng, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Oscar are the only ones who are confirmed to have Innate Full Soul Power.
Gu Yue Ling's situation remains unclear.
The Spirit Strength Chen Feng and Oscar's martial souls is undoubtedly exceptional, and they are more than capable of matching Innate Full Soul Power.
Gu Yue Ling's talent is well-known for its strength, and she was the first in the team to obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Ring.
"Ling'er, how much Innate Soul Power do you have?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
"Level 10," Gu Yue Ling said.
Although she was twelve years old when she transformed into a human, the Innate Soul Power of Soul Beast Transformation into Human is level ten, so she also mentioned level ten.
"Then we'll have five Innate Full Soul Power." Ning Rongrong looked at the five people, her gaze falling on Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, your Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul seems to be a bit..."
Xiao Wu chuckled, "That's right, my Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul doesn't actually match my Innate Full Soul Power, so Xiao Feng thinks my Martial Soul also has the potential to evolve."
"You'd better work harder. You haven't eaten Immortal Herb yet, and if you don't work harder, it might be difficult to advance to Soul Ancestor before the Spirit Master Tournament," Chen Feng reminded him.
"I know, I know, I just don't want to eat the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, you've nagged me about it so many times," Xiao Wu muttered.
Chen Feng shook his head helplessly; he truly couldn't understand Xiao Wu's refusal to eat the Immortal Herb.
In the Original Work, Xiao Wu kept the Lovesick Heartbreak Red because she needed it to conceal her Immortal Herb. However, now that Xiao Wu can hide her aura, it would be unwise for her to keep the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and not eat it.
Although the Lovesick Heartbreak Red saved Xiao Wu's life in the Original Work, it was ultimately because of her confusing actions that she ended up in danger.
In the Original Work, Xiao Wu was repelled by the light from Ning Fengzhi's healing of Tang San, causing her to fall to the ground and spill the Lovesick Heartbreak Red from her arms, thus revealing her aura and discovering her identity.
Putting aside the question of how Xiao Wu's clothes were constructed so that the flowers could fall out of her arms just from a fall, the fact that she knew how important the flowers were to her yet didn't hide them properly is a big problem.
If all else fails, you can just put a rope around your body.
Even more absurdly, the flower didn't fall out when Xiao Wu was attacked by the Cave Demon Spider in Sunset Forest, nor did it fall out during the intense Spirit Master Tournament, or when she was attacked by the Spirit Hall. Finally, it just fell out when she was bounced down and fell to the ground.
To be honest, when Chen Feng saw that scene, his face showed the same expression as an old man using a cell phone on the subway.
This is far too forced and incomprehensible.
The Manga version is slightly more plausible; Xiao Wu recognizes the Spiritual Wisdom Skull, one of the prizes, as belonging to her former friend, the Sacred Illusory Demon Ape.
Then, Salas, of all people, gave a narration, telling everyone that this Soul Bone was a trophy that the Pope had obtained while hunting for his ninth Soul Ring.
At that moment, Xiao Wu realized that Bibi Dong was her mother's killer. Losing all sense of composure, she charged forward, only to be slapped away by Salas.
The flower then fell out.
To be fair, this is still quite reasonable, at least more reasonable than sitting down on the ground and having flowers fall.
Regardless of whether the falling flowers are reasonable or not, Chen Feng will definitely not let Xiao Wu follow the same path as in the Original Work and Manga.
He has already resolved the issue of breath control. As long as Xiao Wu doesn't act recklessly and manages her emotions a little, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Of course, the most important thing is to improve one's strength. Chen Feng believes that it would be a better choice for Xiao Wu to consume the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
He had brought this up before, but Xiao Wu had never been too keen on it.
Now that Tang San has successfully awakened as the Blue Silver Emperor, Chen Feng felt this was a good opportunity to bring up the matter again, and he also came up with a very good reason.
After Tang San obtained his Fourth Soul Ring, the Illusion Demon Tree planned to transfer itself to him.
"Wuxiang, what method do you intend to use to move yourself to our Academy?" Chen Feng asked.
"I plan to gather all of myself into this clone, and then go back with you all," Wuxiang said.
"Is this even possible? Won't it cause you any harm?" Chen Feng asked in surprise.
"There will be some loss of power, but as long as my foundation remains intact, I can recover quickly," Wuxiang replied.
"Tsk, you're quite honest. You trust us that much? Aren't you afraid we'll rip you off?" Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Will you trick me?" Wuxiang asked blankly.
"... No." Chen Feng said, rubbing his forehead.
Although he knew that Soul Beast were generally simple and honest, unlike humans who were cunning, Wuxiang's straightforwardness still left him somewhat at a loss for words.
This is because he encountered people like Chen Feng; if it were anyone else, Wu Xiang would Wuxiang have been completely humiliated.
Of course, ordinary people wouldn't be interested in Wuxiang, so it naturally wouldn't choose to show itself, making the question of whether it's a trap or not irrelevant.
"How long will this process take?" Chen Feng asked again.
"I don't know either. I've never done this before. It will probably take a few days," Wuxiang said.
"A few days..." Chen Feng glanced at the others, then looked at Flender and asked:
"Dean, why don't we cultivate here for a few days?"
"This is a bit dangerous." Flender frowned. "Sunset Forest isn't that dangerous, but it's not exactly a safe haven either. Why don't you children go back first, and the four of us adults will stay here and wait for Wuxiang?"
"What do you guys think?" Chen Feng asked the others.
"I don't care."
"Me too."
"You can cultivate anywhere."
"I like being in the forest."
Most people didn't care much about the suggestion to stay and cultivate, Tang San even expressed his support directly.
The Grandmaster pondered for a moment, then asked Wuxiang:
"If you had one night, could you roughly estimate how much time you would need to complete the entire transfer?"
"It should be possible," Wuxiang said.
"In that case, let's stay here for the night. We'll make a decision tomorrow after Wuxiang determines the time it will take," the Grandmaster said.
"Yes, that's fine too." Flender agreed to the suggestion.
It was already approaching evening, and since they couldn't find their way out, they decided to stay there for the night.
After making the arrangements, it was time to set up the campsite.
This was something that everyone was already very familiar with.
However, Flender made some adjustments to the selection of those on night watch. Tonight, the students will no longer be on night watch; instead, he and Zhao Wuji will take turns keeping watch.
Those who couldn't understand the arrangement were puzzled but didn't ask, while those who did understand tacitly agreed.
The reason is actually quite simple: they are currently camped next to a ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Although this Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is very friendly and has provided Tang San with considerable assistance, it is still necessary to take precautions.
When they went to the Onix's lair, they also took precautions, and they did not set up camp there that time.
This time was different; they were essentially sleeping with a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so they couldn't afford to be careless.
Before long, the camp was set up, Wuxiang remained seated cross-legged in front of his true form throughout the process, without making any movement.
No one disturbed it; instead, they began preparing dinner according to their own plans.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone gathered around the campfire to chat.
It was at this moment that Chen Feng said, seemingly casually:
"I suddenly remembered that Xiao San and Xiao Wu once tried Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill? The two of them?" Flender asked with some surprise, and Grandmaster and Liu Erlong also showed expressions of surprise.
"Did it succeed?" Liu Erlong asked curiously.
"No." Tang San shook his head, then briefly explained the situation back then.
However, he didn't mention anything about concealing his aura, but instead used the excuse of exploring the Soul Ring Condensation Method.
"So you started exploring the Ring Expansion Method so early?" Dai Mubai asked in surprise.
"Yes, but we kept failing in the early stages." Xiao Wu said, looking at Tang San. "Xiao San, you've broken through to the Soul Ancestor now, and your Martial Soul has successfully evolved. Why don't we try again?"
"Okay." Tang San nodded. He was also very curious about what would happen now that he and Xiao Wu's Martial Soul Fusion.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the two effortlessly sat cross-legged facing each other, then placed their hands together to begin the process of merging their Soul Power.
The Chen Feng scene reappeared, but this time the Blue Silver Grass phantom had changed and should be called the Blue Silver Emperor phantom.
As the phantoms of the Blue Silver Emperor and the Soft Bone Rabbit slowly approached a certain distance, the Soft Bone Rabbit phantom quietly shattered, and Xiao Wu's body went limp and she was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately Tang San caught her in time.
Chen Feng sighed softly, "The situation is completely reversed from before. This time, it's Xiao Wu's Martial Soul that's not of enough quality."
