Bone Douluo's Challenge

"Do you recognize this flower?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Feng Hao in surprise. He had already felt that Feng Hao was no ordinary person.

Now, it seemed that he truly was anything but ordinary.

Qian Renxue was equally surprised. Looking at Feng Hao, she said, "My worthy brother is truly well-informed. You actually recognize this flower? Tell us about it."

"This flower is called the Twelve Moon Season. It is an immortal herb. It is not actually black—or rather, not entirely black."

"The petals of the Twelve Moon Season constantly change. But once they settle into black, it means the Twelve Moon Season is about to wither."

Feng Hao calmly explained the flower's name and origins to them.

After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly asked, "Then you said it could be preserved forever. How would that be done?"

After all, this was an immortal herb!

If such an immortal herb were allowed to wither, it would be far too regrettable.

"Keeping it alive forever is actually not difficult. It only requires Yin-Yang Harmony," Feng Hao said.

"Yin-Yang Harmony?" Ning Fengzhi was somewhat curious. What kind of Yin-Yang Harmony was that?

"It needs to absorb the blood of a man and a woman to recover. Of course, it would be best if they were two people in love. The effect would be better that way," Feng Hao said.

"Is that so? Then Qinghe, take it and restore it together with your Crown Princess," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Teacher, since this is an immortal herb, such an important gift is something I cannot accept," Qian Renxue said solemnly.

"I gave it to you, and you accepted it. How could you return it now?" Ning Fengzhi said sternly.

"This... yes!"

Qian Renxue merely felt that this immortal herb was too valuable. How would she be able to make a move against Ning Fengzhi in the future?

But it truly was not appropriate to keep trying to return it now.

Ning Fengzhi then looked at Feng Hao and asked, "Feng Hao, I wonder who you trained under? For such a remarkable young talent as yourself, I had actually never heard your name before."

"I trained on my own and just fumbled my way through it. I only know of the Twelve Moon Season because I got lucky and once read about it in a book," Feng Hao continued to spin his nonsense.

"A true hero rises in his youth. Forgive my boldness, but what is your martial soul?" Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.

"The Three-legged Golden Crow," Feng Hao said.

"The Three-legged Golden Crow? What kind of martial soul is that?" Ning Fengzhi discovered that standing before Feng Hao made him seem especially ignorant.

"The sun in the sky is the Three-legged Golden Crow," Feng Hao explained.

"The sun? That can become a martial soul too? The world truly is vast, filled with all manner of wonders." Ning Fengzhi had genuinely broadened his horizons.

"The sun is a martial soul? Little friend Feng Hao, I would like to witness this martial soul of yours. Would that be possible?" Bone Douluo asked at that moment.

"Uh? Senior, is that appropriate?" Feng Hao had not expected to arouse Bone Douluo's interest.

He was reluctant because he had just obtained his Third Spirit Ring, a 100,000-Year Soul Ring. It was simply too conspicuous—enough to drive these people mad.

"Rest assured, I will suppress my Soul Power to the same level as yours," Bone Douluo said seriously.

At that moment, Feng Hao suddenly received a system prompt.

"Ding! Bone Douluo has challenged you. You will..."

"Option One: Refuse Bone Douluo's challenge. Reward: one suit of armor capable of defending against a Soul Douluo."

"Option Two: Accept Bone Douluo's challenge. Reward: Heavenly Mystery Eyes!"

The first reward was quite straightforward.

Armor capable of defending against a Soul Douluo was still extremely valuable.

As for the Heavenly Mystery Eyes from the second option, he had no idea what they were.

The words "Heavenly Mystery" alone sounded far from simple. He could choose to take a gamble.

This was the first time he had been somewhat conflicted over a choice. The reward for the first option was already quite good.

The second reward was uncertain, and he would also have to reveal his Spirit Rings.

After hesitating for a long while, Feng Hao thought to himself, So be it if they're exposed! I can't keep hiding forever, never using my own Spirit Rings. Then what would be the point of obtaining these Spirit Rings in the first place?

Seeing that he had not answered for so long, Bone Douluo asked, "Is there something inconvenient about it? If so, then forget it."

"It is not inconvenient. I simply suggest that, Senior, you raise your Soul Power to ten levels above mine," Feng Hao said seriously.

After accepting Bone Douluo's challenge, he immediately received the system reward.

Heavenly Mystery Eyes: At their highest level, they could peer into heavenly secrets; they could perceive the trajectories of others' movements, appraise treasures, and see through disguises.

With his current Soul Power, he could not use them to peer into heavenly secrets.

However, he could use them to assist in battle.

Appraising treasures, seeing through disguises, and the like were all extremely powerful support abilities.

"Raise it by ten levels? Young people truly are confident. How about this? As long as you are capable, I will use even stronger Soul Power to fight you."

"Senior Bone Douluo, worthy brother, if you wish to fight, please go outside. There is not enough room to do so here," Qian Renxue suggested.

She was also very curious about what Feng Hao's martial soul actually looked like.

Although Feng Hao had saved her last time, she had not seen him use his martial soul then.

She only remembered Feng Hao's terrifying flames.

"Alright!"

Feng Hao and Bone Douluo nodded, and the two walked outside first.

Qian Renxue and Ning Fengzhi followed them out to watch the battle.

Once outside, Bone Douluo first suppressed his Soul Power to level 30. Three Spirit Rings slowly rose beneath his feet.

Yellow, yellow, purple.

He introduced himself to Feng Hao. "Gu Rong. Martial soul: Bone Dragon. Level 95 Titled Douluo."

Feng Hao returned the introduction. "Feng Hao. Martial soul: Three-legged Golden Crow. Level 30 Soul Elder."

Under normal circumstances, at level 30, someone without a Third Spirit Ring was a Soul Grandmaster.

After acquiring a Spirit Ring, one could generally advance to level 31.

Therefore, a level 30 Soul Elder should not exist. Soul Elders were all level 31 and above.

Just as Bone Douluo and the others were wondering about this, three Spirit Rings slowly rose beneath Feng Hao's feet.

Black, deep black, red.

"This..." As the master of a sect, even Ning Fengzhi could no longer remain calm.

He rubbed his eyes, wanting to know whether he had seen things incorrectly.

Qian Renxue covered her small mouth, utterly shocked. At that moment, she had completely revealed her feminine mannerisms.

However, whether it was Ning Fengzhi or Bone Douluo, all their attention was on Feng Hao. Neither of them would notice her at that moment.

She murmured, "The first is a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring, and the third is one hundred thousand years. Is he even human? How did he do it? Where did he hunt those soul beasts? How did he hunt them?"

Countless questions made Qian Renxue wish they would stop fighting.

She wanted nothing more than to drag Feng Hao away immediately and interrogate him thoroughly.

When Ning Fengzhi looked again to confirm it, it was still the same.

The first Spirit Ring was ten thousand years old, while the third had directly reached one hundred thousand years.

This was no longer a matter of whether anyone had heard of it before. It was something no one would even dare imagine.

How could this possibly be done?

Could it be that once he became strong enough, soul beasts simply ran up to him, obediently allowed him to kill them, and let him absorb them?

Bone Douluo's body was trembling at that moment. A 100,000-Year Soul Ring!

Even he, a Titled Douluo, did not possess one, yet Feng Hao had one at only level 30.

He also understood that he had to use level 40 Soul Power against Feng Hao, or he would lose in an extremely ugly fashion.
