Chen Feng took one look at the delicate and charming Tang Ya, then stopped staring.
A glance was an appreciation of beauty; staring nonstop would have been impolite.
Chen Feng had spent the past few years alone outside, and his temperament was far beyond that of ordinary people. Naturally, he would not become unable to walk straight just because he saw a beautiful woman.
As the four of them met face-to-face, Chen Feng heard the charming girl speaking to the Blue-Haired Youth.
"Bei Bei, don't tell me you're jealous." Tang Ya giggled and looked at Bei Bei openly.
"Are you tired of always putting on that sanctimonious act?"
"Xiaoya, that's called refinement!" Bei Bei's face darkened as he shifted his gaze back to Chen Feng.
Tang Ya put her hands on her hips and said with a serious expression, "Call me Teacher Xiao Ya!"
"Alright, alright, Teacher Xiao Ya." Bei Bei looked helpless.
Bei Bei watched Chen Feng and thought, Wandering around the Star Dou Great Forest alone... without a teacher or companions. He seems quite formidable. I need to stay on guard.
However, Chen Feng's gaze passed over the two of them and fixed on the ordinary-looking, medium-built, undernourished black-haired youth behind them.
Because that black-haired youth was none other than Huo Yuhao.
Chen Feng's heart stirred slightly, and he met Bei Bei's scrutinizing gaze.
The two looked into each other's eyes, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Chen Feng said, "Is there something you three need? You've been staring at me for quite a while."
Bei Bei, who had been observing Chen Feng, was slightly embarrassed. After all, staring at someone in the Star Dou Great Forest really was not appropriate. Especially when they were strangers, it could easily cause misunderstandings.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, one needed to beware not only of the inherently dangerous soul beasts, but also of the humans who entered the forest.
Perhaps the other party was a predator who specifically hunted suitable prey in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"My name is Tang Ya, and this person beside me is Bei Bei. We're both students of Shrek Academy."
Before Bei Bei could speak, the girl beside him smiled sweetly and said, "It's because you're so handsome that I couldn't help taking a few extra looks. Sorry for causing you to misunderstand."
After saying that, she stuck out her tongue somewhat sheepishly. Her adorable appearance made Huo Yuhao beside her stare blankly.
When Chen Feng heard the lively, cheerful, naturally spirited, delicate and lovely Tang Ya call him handsome, he smiled faintly as well.
In an instant, the somewhat tense atmosphere became harmonious.
Bei Bei, however, could not help tugging at Tang Ya, and his gaze toward Chen Feng gained a trace more vigilance.
Of course, he did not regard Chen Feng as an enemy out of jealousy. Rather, revealing their identities so casually in the Star Dou Great Forest was simply a very foolish thing to do.
Under their gazes, the smile on Chen Feng's face deepened.
"So it's Senior Sister Tang and Senior Brother Bei. Actually, I'm one of this year's New Students at Shrek Academy. My name is Chen Feng, and I'm from the Heaven Dou Empire."
"You're one of this year's New Students at Shrek Academy? And you're from the Heaven Dou Empire?" Upon hearing this, Tang Ya's lively eyes immediately lit up.
"That's wonderful. Bei Bei and I are from the Heaven Dou Empire too. We're all fellow countrymen."
After that, the group began chatting casually. Although Chen Feng chatted with Tang Ya and Bei Bei, he kept part of his attention on Huo Yuhao.
Just then, a sudden change occurred. A strange Spiritual Power Field enveloped Chen Feng and the others.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei immediately felt dizzy.
Huo Yuhao fared even worse and dropped straight onto the ground on his backside.
Only Chen Feng remained completely unaffected, thanks to his resilient and powerful spirit, as well as the protection of the furnace around his soul.
Chen Feng directly released his Spiritual Power. That was right—after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had expanded his Sea of Spirit and he had fused with part of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Origin, his Spiritual Power had already reached the level where only Soul Masters above the rank of Soul Saint could release it externally.
Chen Feng's Spiritual Power immediately locked onto a soul beast hidden in the woods.
It stood two meters tall and measured three meters long. It looked somewhat like a wolf, though its body was even smaller than that of an ordinary wolf. Aside from its strikingly bright purple fur, its extremely narrow eyes looked rather lecherous. Its front legs in particular were so short that they could barely support its body.
It was a three-hundred-year Purple Spirit Wolf. Purple Spirit Wolves were spiritual-attribute soul beasts, and their innate ability was Weakness. Through spiritual fluctuations, it could affect the central nervous system of those it struck. It would not weaken their Soul Power, but it would cause symptoms such as dizziness, weak legs, and a lack of strength.
When the Purple Spirit Wolf's lecherous eyes saw that one human was actually unaffected by its ability, it immediately panicked and tried to flee.
Chen Feng took a single step and Teleported in front of the Purple Spirit Wolf. Although the Purple Spirit Wolf possessed decent Spiritual Power, its tiny front legs made it abysmal at close combat. How could it possibly be Chen Feng's match?
Chen Feng gripped the Soul Breaking Blade. A beautiful Blade Glow tore through the air, and with a swift lift and fall of his hand, Chen Feng heavily wounded the Purple Spirit Wolf. The accompanying spiritual damage caused the Purple Spirit Wolf to faint.
By then, Bei Bei and Tang Ya had already escaped the Purple Spirit Wolf's control after being affected at the beginning. They also charged toward it.
However, Chen Feng had already dealt with the Purple Spirit Wolf.
Tang Ya's face immediately lit up when she saw that it was a Purple Spirit Wolf.
She said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, you were the one who seriously wounded this Purple Spirit Wolf. Can I buy it from you with Gold Soul Coins?"
Chen Feng looked at Tang Ya and understood her intention. Clearly, she intended to give it to Huo Yuhao.
Chen Feng said, "Since Senior Sister has asked, just take it. It's only a hundred-year soul beast, so there's no need to speak of compensation."
In Chen Feng's view, even if he had not acted, this Purple Spirit Wolf would not have been a match for Bei Bei and Tang Ya. Besides, he had no use for it. Rather than let it dissipate, he might as well earn them a favor.
"Little Yuhao, hurry up and act. This Purple Spirit Wolf's Spirit Ring will definitely suit you very well." Having received Chen Feng's permission, Tang Ya waved Huo Yuhao over from behind her.
"Thank you."
Only then did Huo Yuhao react, thanking Chen Feng.
His mother had taught him since childhood to be a polite person. Yet when facing the handsome and powerful Chen Feng, he could not help feeling a trace of inferiority.
They were both New Students of Shrek Academy, yet he still needed the help of Senior Disciple Brother and Teacher Xiao Ya to obtain a Spirit Ring. Meanwhile, someone else could easily kill a powerful hundred-year soul beast alone.
The enormous gap made Huo Yuhao feel dejected.
"Yuhao, from here on, absorbing the Spirit Ring will depend on you alone. You must keep your consciousness clear."
"Thank you, Senior Disciple Brother." Huo Yuhao nodded, adjusted his condition slightly, then used his Soul Power to draw in the Spirit Ring and took the first step on the path to becoming a Soul Master.
While Huo Yuhao absorbed the Spirit Ring, Bei Bei came to Chen Feng's side. He was no longer as wary as before.
However, because men naturally repelled one another, he became even more "guarded" toward Chen Feng, who was both more handsome than him and extremely powerful, afraid that Xiaoya might take a liking to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng smiled at Bei Bei. "Is there something you need, Senior Brother Bei?"
