"Sever the connection between their spirits? How could that possibly be done?" Dai Mubai found it hard to believe.

Besides, the one saying this was a seven-year-old child. Although Chen Feng had displayed considerable knowledge along the way, it still was not enough to earn Dai Mubai's trust.

After all, obtaining spirit skills was a matter that could affect one's entire life. How could he casually trust someone else's advice?

The White Tiger Spirit's original path might not have been perfect, but at least generations of Dai Family ancestors had proven it viable. Meanwhile, Chen Feng did not even have any presentable research results, so how could Dai Mubai believe him?

Zhu Zhuqing was also doubtful. Although she did not want to take part in any heir's duel, she could not simply place her future in the hands of a seven-year-old child either.

At the very least, Chen Feng had to show her some actual results.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing did not quite believe Chen Feng's words, but Grandmaster had indeed seen Chen Feng's abilities. After thinking for a while, he gradually understood what Chen Feng meant.

"Xiao Feng, are you saying that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing should obtain spirit skills with other attributes, using that to alter their spirits' attributes and sever the connection between them?"

"Yes, and no." Chen Feng nodded, then shook his head. "The only one who can truly make a change is Big Brother Dai, because Zhu Zhuqing's spirit is the Hell Spirit Cat. It can only be of the darkness attribute. Not only can she not take another path, she needs to go even deeper down the path of darkness.

"Of course, the connection between spirits is inherently very delicate. As long as one of them changes, that connection may very well be severed. At that point, they will lose the possibility of forming a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, as well as their qualifications to compete for the Star Luo Empire's succession."

He said to the two of them:

"I know you have doubts about what I'm saying, and that's normal. But I want to tell you that Xiao San's first spirit skill was chosen on my recommendation, and his spirit is Blue Silver Grass. You can see how Xiao San fares after obtaining his First Spirit Ring before deciding whether to follow my advice."

After saying that, he looked toward Tang San and quietly waited.

The reason Chen Feng wanted to change the paths of the Tiger Cat pair was only partly to free them from their predicament of a life-or-death duel.

The main reason was that Chen Feng sensed Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Spirit Cat spirit corresponded to the Kun Hexagram within the Tai Chi Bagua Sword.

The Kun Hexagram was a hexagram of pure yin, and the most representative image of yin was "darkness." It made sense for the Hell Spirit Cat to belong to the Kun Hexagram.

However, like Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing corresponded to the Kun Hexagram, but neither of them was pure enough.

Therefore, Chen Feng wanted to alter Zhu Zhuqing's path and make her darkness purer, rather than having it become such an awkward mismatch that it would quickly fall behind.

"Blue Silver Grass? You're saying Tang San's spirit is Blue Silver Grass? Blue Silver Grass can actually cultivate?" After hearing Chen Feng's words, Dai Mubai and the other two were all astonished. Chen Yun directly voiced the question.

"The world is vast. There are all kinds of wonders in it," Chen Feng said calmly.

"His First Spirit Ring was really recommended by you?" Zhu Zhuqing silently appeared beside Chen Feng and asked.

"That's right. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao San after he wakes up." Chen Feng nodded.

"Then I'll wait and see. If Tang San's first spirit skill is truly outstanding, I'll let you arrange my spirit skills, as long as you can resolve my current predicament." Zhu Zhuqing spoke softly, her tone carrying a trace of anticipation.

"Of course." A faint smile appeared on Chen Feng's lips. "If only you make a change, I have a fifty-percent chance of solving your problem, because Big Brother Dai may strengthen the light attribute of his own spirit to maintain compatibility with you. But if Big Brother Dai changes as well, then I'll be completely certain."

Dai Mubai frowned and said unhappily, "I won't do that!"

How could he rush to cling to Zhu Zhuqing after she had made a change?

Chen Feng shook his head. With a single sentence, he turned Dai Mubai's displeasure into helplessness:

"Big Brother Dai, as a prince of the Star Luo Empire, some matters are not governed by your own will. Do you truly wish to fight your elder brother for the throne?"

"Of course not! Who gives a damn about that lousy throne? All I want is freedom." Dai Mubai said indignantly.

"But you have no choice but to fight, all because you and Zhu Zhuqing have the possibility of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. It is both heaven's gift to you and your shackle."

Chen Feng sighed softly. His tone carried a strong note of temptation as he said:

"Right now, you are like birds in a cage and fish in a net. Only by actively giving up this gift and this shackle can you possibly obtain true freedom.

"At that time, birds will soar into the blue skies and fish will plunge into the sea, never again bound by restraints!"

"Never again bound by restraints." Zhu Zhuqing softly repeated those words, and her resolve gradually hardened.

"Birds soaring into the blue skies, fish plunging into the sea..." Dai Mubai clenched his fists, a trace of struggle appearing in his eyes.

"That's right. That will be true freedom." Chen Feng's voice slipped into Dai Mubai's ears like an evil whisper.

"True freedom..." Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and was about to make a decision when he suddenly came to his senses.

"No, you still haven't proven what you can do! At the very least... at the very least, we have to see the effects of Tang San's first spirit skill first!"

Dai Mubai had already made up his mind. As long as Tang San's first spirit skill was not too weak, he would take a gamble and do as Chen Feng said!

At the side, Chen Yun quietly watched everything unfold without saying a word.

His family had served the Dai Family for generations. He liked both Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai and did not want the two children to engage in a life-and-death duel.

But tradition was powerful. The Chen Yun of the past had been powerless to change it. Now that there was a glimmer of hope, Chen Yun was naturally glad to see it happen.

Not long after Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing made up their minds, Tang San happened to finish absorbing the spirit ring and wake up.

"Xiao San, how do you feel? What effect does your first spirit skill have?" Chen Feng asked, slightly nervous.

Although he felt that his theory was unlikely to be wrong, he was not one hundred percent certain.

Tang San's first spirit skill was the test case for verifying his theory. If it succeeded, everything would be fine.

But if its effect was poor, Chen Feng would not only lose hope of repairing his own spirit, he might also receive a Clear Sky Hammer warning from Tang Hao.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's question, Tang San let out a heavy sigh, his expression gradually darkening.

"Did something go wrong?" Even Chen Feng's voice trembled slightly.

In the distance, Tang Hao's expression gradually darkened.
