Dustless Land

"Xiao Hei, come down first."

Chen Feng waved to the black cat frolicking in the tree.

The black cat got down somewhat reluctantly; this was its first time using Soul Ring, and it hadn't had enough fun yet.

Not only was it not satisfied, it also set its sights on the remaining Soul Ring on Chen Feng's body, clearly wanting to test the effects of the other Soul Ring.

However, Chen Feng did not respond to its expectations. Instead, he ruthlessly withdrew his Soul Ring and canceled the Yang Sword state of his Martial Soul.

The light emitted by the Yang Sword also disappeared, and the area around Chen Feng became somewhat dim, with only the flickering light of torches remaining in the forest.

Chen Feng had previously thought that the light emitted by his Yang Sword was just a special effect, and even complained that the light Mingdu.

But what had just happened told him that this was not the case; the light seemed to have some special effect.

Chen Feng guessed that it might be some kind of protective capability.

But at this point, he was no longer able to test the effects of the light, because he didn't have enough Soul Power left.

Maintaining the Yang Sword requires consuming Soul Power. Chen Feng had just used all three of his Soul Skill, so naturally he couldn't maintain the Yang Sword state for much longer.

If Soul Power is exhausted, the other person will faint, which is not good.

In just a short while, Chen Feng had already roughly understood the main abilities of his Yang Sword state.

The first ability is to throw one's own Soul Ring to a teammate, allowing the teammate to gain an extra Soul Ring, even if the opponent is a Soul Beast.

Furthermore, when a teammate uses this Soul Ring, it consumes his own Soul Power Soul Power, not Chen Feng's, which can reduce Chen Feng's burden.

The second ability is a certain degree of protective capability, which Chen Feng has already witnessed, but he does not have enough Soul Power to test it.

When he awakened his Martial Soul, he received the information that "the Yang Sword Governs Life, Yin Sword Governs Death" through Martial Soul.

In retrospect, both its ability to support teammates and its defensive capabilities perfectly align with the characteristics of a "main-support" character.

The former increases the chances of teammates surviving, while the latter increases one's own chances.

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised, but not overly astonished, by the fact that his Martial Soul's special form possessed auxiliary abilities.

Because he possesses both the Bloodline of the Chen Clan and the Bloodline of the Ning Clan, it is not surprising that he has awakened auxiliary abilities.

It's just that this method of assistance is a bit strange.

Conversely, Chen Feng was more certain about what his Yin Sword Form corresponded to; it was most likely the Soul Devouring Demon Sword from before, or some kind of mutated form of it.

It depends on whether Xiao Wu's blood can bring about any changes to Chen Feng's Yin Sword.

The Yin Sword Governs Death, Soul Devouring Demon Sword's killing power is beyond doubt; even if there are some changes, it will not deviate from its essence.

If Chen Feng had chosen the Gui Mei's blood, then the Yin Sword would have definitely become the Soul Devouring Demon Sword. But if he had chosen Xiao Wu's blood, then he could have struggled a bit.

In fact, Xiao Wu was already able to help Chen Feng awaken the Yin Sword at this point, because the amount of blood required for the awakening of the Yin-Yang Position is not much, which is equivalent to acting as a catalyst.

The blood corresponding to the Bagua Position acts as a reactant, allowing the Bagua Position to be repaired.

However, Chen Feng did not ask Xiao Wu for her blood, because he was afraid that once he got her blood, he would not be able to resist using it on his Martial Soul.

If something goes wrong then, it will be difficult to handle.

It would be safer to wait until he reaches the Soul Ancestor and then assess the situation.

In the following days, Chen Feng conducted a special test on the Yang Sword form of his Martial Soul and learned more detailed information about the Yang Sword.

Firstly, regarding support capabilities, Chen Feng can lend his Soul Ring to his teammates, and the two sides' use of Chen Feng's Soul Ring will not interfere with each other.

For example, Chen Feng's Third Spirit Skill, Swift Thunder, has a cooldown period when he uses it.

However, after he uses Swift Thunder, he can lend out his Soul Ring, allowing his teammates to seamlessly use Swift Thunder once more.

However, Chen Feng can only lend each of his Soul Ring to one person. He can alternate between himself and the person he lends the Soul Ring to, but he cannot lend it to a second person after the first person has used it. This prevents him from becoming a "public bus" (someone who uses the same spirit ring as everyone else).

In fact, Chen Feng doesn't need to use his Soul Skill too frequently after activating the Yang Sword form, which is due to the defensive capabilities of the Yang Sword.

This level of protection was somewhat different from what he had expected.

Chen Feng believed that the light emitted by the Yang Sword was a Protective Shield with a certain degree of damage resistance and the ability to block external threats.

However, this light is actually more like a domain. During the duration of this domain, no attack from the outside world can penetrate it, including mental attacks. This was discovered through Gu Yue Ling's Lion's Roar Soul Skill.

When the Light Domain was activated, Lion's Roar had no effect on Chen Feng.

At this point, the only way to attack Chen Feng is to enter the Light Domain and engage Chen Feng -to-hand combat.

Alternatively, one could wait until the duration of the Light Domain ended, since maintaining the Yang Sword consumes Soul Power, and this consumption is not small; external attacks would also accelerate the consumption of Soul Power.

If he only activates the Yang Sword and does nothing else, Chen Feng can only maintain the Yang Sword for ten minutes. If he is attacked from the outside or uses Soul Skill, the time limit will be different.

This is one of the shortcomings of the Yang Sword, but its protective capabilities within the Light Domain are astonishing.

Chen Feng tested this, and even specifically sought out Tang Hao as a test subject.

After a series of tests, Chen Feng discovered that the protective capabilities of the Light Domain were virtually limitless, and attacks outside the range would only accelerate the depletion of Chen Feng's Soul Power.

However, as long as the Light Domain continues, Chen Feng does not need to worry about being affected by anything outside the Light Domain.

During the test, Chen Feng's Light Domain once blocked a hammer blow from Tang Hao, which was enhanced by five Soul Ring, at the cost of consuming all of his Soul Power.

Two days later, in a retest, when Tang Hao unleashed a hammer blow while fully empowered by his Soul Ring, the Light Domain successfully withstood the attack, but Chen Feng's Soul Power was completely depleted.

Through these two tests, Chen Feng summarized a characteristic of the Yang Sword Light Domain: no matter how strong the attack, the light domain can withstand at least one blow.

This is naturally inferior to Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body, but it is enough for Chen Feng.

After all, support is just a side job for him; his primary role is that of a Warrior, and offense is the best defense.

The protective ability of the Light Domain only means that when Chen Feng activates the Yang Sword, he doesn't have to be as afraid of being attacked as other Support System Spirit Master.

In addition, the protective ability of the Light Domain is also area-of-effect, which allows Chen Feng to protect his teammates, which is an advantage compared to the Invincible Golden Body.

For this reason, Chen Feng even gave the Light Domain a special name, "Dustless Land," as a tribute to a similar ability in a certain work.

After Chen Feng figured out the characteristics of the Yang Sword, everyone else became very interested.

Ning Rongrong kept pestering Chen Feng to use the Dustless Land, saying that this ability was simply a divine skill for her.

As long as that Light Domain remains, standing inside gives one a very sense of security.

Oscar actually wanted to give it a try, but he knew it wasn't appropriate for him to get involved, and his support style wasn't suited for standing still, because he needed to get close to his teammates to distribute the food.

So, except at the beginning, Oscar needs to constantly move around.

But Ning Rongrong doesn't need to. Her positioning during battle is more about dodging attacks. If no one attacks her, she can stand still in place without her support abilities being affected in the slightest.

Therefore, the appearance of the Dustless Land broadened Ning Rongrong's thinking. She felt that she could try to acquire a similar Soul Skill in the future, but she didn't know if there were any Soul Beast with this ability.

As for the other Battle Spirit Master in the team, they were more interested in Chen Feng's ability to lend out his Soul Ring.

Being able to use an extra Soul Skill for free is something any Soul Master would be eager to do.

Not to mention the extra Soul Ring he gets; putting everything else aside, just looking at it is incredibly satisfying.

However, since Chen Feng's Soul Skill each have their own characteristics, it is impossible for everyone to be able to use his Soul Skill.

In response, everyone discussed and came up with a distribution plan.

First is Chen Feng's Third Spirit Skill, Swift Thunder. This powerful dash Soul Skill is useful for any Warrior, but the one who needs it the most and can maximize its effect is undoubtedly Gu Yue Ling.

As a very powerful Warrior in the team, her attack ability is beyond doubt, but she has a major weakness: short legs, and no ability to quickly close the distance to her opponents.

While the ranged attack effect of her Fourth Soul Skill somewhat compensates for this weakness, it is not enough.

With the addition of Swift Thunder, Gu Yue Ling, this little lion, can unleash her full potential, and in Team Battle, she might even be able to charge into the enemy's backline and wreak havoc.

Secondly, there's Chen Feng's second Soul Skill, Sharpness. This Soul Skill is very versatile and useful for Dai Mubai, Meng Yiran, and Zhu Zhuqing.

However, Meng Yiran's fighting style is gradually changing. Close combat is no longer her main fighting style, while Dai Mubai has the White Tiger Ripping Wave Claw and the Self-Created Soul Skill he learned during his special training.

Therefore, the Soul Skill "Sharpness" was assigned to Zhu Zhuqing, which can further enhance the lethality of her claws.

As for Chen Feng's last Soul Skill, the Heavy Sword, there aren't many people who can use it, and even fewer who can use it well.

Because no one had received the same targeted training as him, and no one understood the principles of weight and lightness, this Soul Skill became Chen Feng's signature Soul Skill.

This also gives him some combat ability in his Yang Sword form.

Combined with the characteristics of the Dustless Land, even if someone were to actually intrude into the Light Domain, Chen Feng could handle it completely.

Because those who can cut through the back row are mostly melee fighters, and these are the opponents that Chen Feng fears the least.

After the auction, Chen Feng's life returned to normal.

The power granted by the Yang Sword greatly excited him, and he became even more interested in the Yin Sword.

However, due to the characteristics of the Yin Sword, Chen Feng dared not easily attempt to awaken it, even though the conditions for awakening had been met.

Therefore, he could only transform this interest into motivation for cultivation, and began to put aside everything else to concentrate on cultivation, wanting to reach Level 40 as soon as possible.

Those who hadn't reached the Soul Ancestor Realm, like Oscar, Bai Chenxiang, and Ning Rongrong, also worked hard, cultivating almost non-stop.

Finally, with three months to go before the Spirit Master Tournament, Oscar, Chen Feng, and Ning Rongrong all successfully reached Level 40.

Bai Chenxiang has also reached level 36, which is considered a decent combat strength.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall's investigation into the missing members of the Holy Dragon Sect has also yielded results.

Although Tang Hao covered up the scene after killing the person to avoid causing trouble for his son, a subsequent rain further erased the traces.

However, since the Holy Dragon Sect group did not conceal their tracks when they came to Sunset Forest, people saw them along the way. Therefore, the Spirit Hall still managed to find out where they went before they disappeared, which was Sunset Forest.

After confirming that the Holy Dragon Sect group had disappeared in Sunset Forest, the Spirit Hall sent people to investigate in Sunset Forest and also began investigating who had gone to Sunset Forest during that period.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall also inquired about information from Xue Qinghe, who was actually the undercover agent Qian Renxue.

After all, the Holy Dragon Sect was a subordinate of the Spirit Hall, and the disappearance of Tuoba Xi and his group was clearly not an accident, meaning that someone was offending the Spirit Hall's authority.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall must find out the truth, both for its own and public reasons.

Regarding the inquiry from the Spirit Hall Headquarters, Qian Renxue's attitude was...

"Elder Ci Xie, did anyone from Heaven Dou City go to Sunset Forest at that time?" Qian Renxue asked her guard Elder.

Ci Xie nodded and said:

"Yes, according to my investigation, at that time Nine-Headed Serpent Academy..."

"Really?" Qian Renxue's tone became more forceful.

Ci Xie paused for a moment, then said hesitantly:

"Have"

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes.

"... or... nothing?" Ci Xie began to realize what was going on.

"I don't think so, Elder Ci Xie, what do you think?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I don't think so either," Ci Xie said without hesitation.

"Hmm." Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction. "Then send a message to the Main Hall, saying that everything was calm and normal in Heaven Dou City at the time, and no powerful forces went to Sunset Forest."

"Yes."

"Also, regarding those herbs I mentioned earlier, have any results been found?"

When Chen Feng asked her for blood, Qian Renxue smelled a peculiar herbal scent in the bottle. She then asked Ci Xie to find some herbs to identify them. In the end, Qian Renxue selected several herbs with similar scents and asked Ci Xie to investigate them.

The Ci Xie also revealed some information. "Young Lord, among the herbs you selected, only one is related to blood. After investigating, I found that this herb has the effect of preventing blood clotting."

"Anything else?"

"Furthermore, not many people know about the effects of this herb; only highly skilled pharmacists are aware of it."

"Perhaps he might not be a pharmacist," Qian Renxue gently tapped the table, "But could also be a poison master."
