Dual Traits: Insight Weakness, Absolute First Strike

"Xiao Feng, try attacking me."

Manyi activated the defensive Fourth Soul Skill.

Since this was only a test of the soul skill's power, she did not need to worry about Tang Feng breaking through her defenses, so she took no extra precautions.

Otherwise, even Manyi, a Titled Douluo, would have found it quite troublesome.

Tang Feng's first two soul skills had caused her no small amount of suffering.

Especially the First Soul Skill, which could ignore differences in rank, break any defense, and remove Soul Tools.

Originally, if Manyi had acted first, she could have neutralized it by shattering the Blue Silver Grass.

Unfortunately, she had encountered an absurd Second Soul Skill as well.

Tang Feng's Second Soul Skill was called Spider Web Restraint. It had the same name as Tang San's Third Soul Skill, but its effect was completely different.

In terms of attack speed, even powerful Titled Douluo could not match Tang Feng's spider web.

What was even more infuriating was that after Spider Web Restraint struck an enemy, it could also strip away all defenses.

Ever since becoming a Titled Douluo,

Manyi had never felt so stifled, even when fighting other Titled Douluo.

"Grandma Manyi, be careful."

Tang Feng held the Blue Silver Battle Spear.

In his eyes, Manyi, the Star Cloud Douluo, had become completely different.

If it had been before, when facing Manyi's Fourth Soul Skill, Star Cloud Barrier, he would have had no other method besides using the Armor Removal Trait.

But now, the Soul Power structure of the Star Cloud Barrier appeared in his mind like a 3D schematic.

Most remarkably, he could see the details of the Soul Power flowing through the Star Cloud Barrier and locate its weak points.

Even the Star Cloud Douluo herself had never discovered such special nodes.

That was because the Star Cloud Barrier's weaknesses shifted with the starlight every time.

Not to mention outsiders—even Manyi herself would have great difficulty deducing their exact locations.

"Blue Silver Overlord Thorn!"

Tang Feng gripped the Blue Silver Battle Spear tightly.

He circulated all his Soul Power, locked onto the weak point where the barrier's energies intertwined, and hurled it straight out.

In an instant, the Blue Silver Battle Spear became an afterimage and stabbed directly into the Star Cloud Barrier.

It was the Fourth Soul Skill of a Titled Douluo.

Yet it only held out for a few breaths before being forcibly shattered by the Blue Silver Battle Spear.

Tang Feng had broken through a Titled Douluo's defense with the strength of a Soul Elder.

"Hiss—"

Giant Strength Douluo and Heavenly Fiend Douluo both involuntarily sucked in a cold breath.

They could hardly imagine how miserable someone at the same realm as Tang Feng would be when sparring with him.

With this special method of piercing through the Star Cloud Barrier alone, Tang Feng could suppress his peers until they could not lift their heads.

"Did you use your First Soul Skill?"

Manyi asked in disbelief.

She knew that Tang Feng's First Soul Skill possessed the miraculous effect of forcibly removing armor and breaking all defenses.

As long as he imbued his First Soul Skill into the Blue Silver Battle Spear, it would become an unstoppable weapon of destruction.

"This is a characteristic of my Third Soul Skill."

"It can keenly detect an enemy's weaknesses and choose the best method of attack."

Tang Feng shook his head.

After breaking through to Soul Elder, he had activated another Conceptual Trait called [Insight Weakness].

[Insight Weakness]: Once a target's weakness is seen through, they will inevitably choose to yield, and the attack will deal a critical hit with a one hundred percent chance.

Tang Feng had pierced the Star Cloud Barrier with Blue Silver Overlord Thorn because the Star Cloud Barrier had "yielded."

Even a defense at the level of a Titled Douluo had been shattered by its critical hit.

More importantly, Insight Weakness was a Conceptual Trait. It did not work only on soul skills.

As long as Tang Feng found an enemy's weakness, he could even manipulate their heart and make them yield one hundred percent of the time.

"Xiao Feng, I'm afraid I can't beat you anymore."

Xu Jiujiu suddenly felt so weak.

The Star Crown Martial Soul had once shone brilliantly across Douluo Continent.

Otherwise, the Star Luo Imperial Family would still have belonged to the White Tiger Duke's lineage, rather than the Star Crown Sect's.

The Star Crown Sect's contributions to the Star Luo Empire back then had been so immense that the Dai Family had even yielded the throne.

Even though Xu Jiujiu was now a Soul King, she believed she could not last more than three exchanges against Tang Feng.

"Then I'll be the big brother from now on. Big Brother will be responsible for protecting Sister Jiujiu."

Tang Feng rubbed Xu Jiujiu's hair.

This golden fur felt so good to touch. The only problem was that after being angered, she might bite him.

"Why does your Life Blue Silver Grass always develop such strange attributes?"

"Yet my Star Crown Martial Soul never changes at all."

Xu Jiujiu rolled her eyes at Tang Feng.

She had long grown accustomed to Tang Feng's lively personality.

He was clearly several years younger than her, yet he was always trying to make her call him big brother. It had nearly become an obsession.

"Sister Jiujiu, even if you smashed the Star Crown Martial Soul to pieces, it still wouldn't change into anything else."

Tang Feng's mouth twitched.

He had these special attribute enhancements only because of One Realm, One Entry.

Whether it was the Life Blue Silver Grass or his first three soul skills, all of them benefited from the empowerment of Conceptual Traits.

When he advanced to Soul Grandmaster, he had obtained a Conceptual Trait called [Absolute First Strike].

[Absolute First Strike]: No matter when the attack is launched, it can always strike the enemy one step ahead.

This absurd soul skill had caused the three Titled Douluo present no small amount of suffering.

Whenever they sparred with Tang Feng in actual combat, their defenses became practically useless, and they would always suffer a humiliating beating.

"It's getting late."

"Let's leave the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible and return to Star Luo City first."

Xu Jiujiu decided to leave first.

Even with three Titled Douluo at their side, the Star Dou Great Forest was still not safe enough.

"Let's go."

Tang Feng did not want to stay any longer either.

With the Goddess of Life's inheritance, he did not need to fear those Fierce Beasts.

The problem was that some Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts were fucking brainless and insisted on risking their lives to eat him.

Within the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Feng was walking Tang Monk's Flesh. Many Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts wanted to devour his Life Essence to increase their strength early.

"Finally, we can go back."

Xu Jiujiu could finally relax, no longer needing to worry about spirit beasts suddenly appearing.

Under normal circumstances, she was responsible for protecting Tang Feng at close range, while the other Titled Douluo dealt with the attacking spirit beasts.

At the most outrageous point, hundreds of spirit beasts had charged at them without regard for their lives.

Manyi alone could not possibly handle them all, but fortunately, three had been dispatched this time.

The group returned to Star Luo City.

Before Xu Jiujiu and Tang Feng could return to the Princess's Mansion, guards summoned them to the Imperial Palace.

"Why does His Majesty want to see us?"

Tang Feng was completely baffled.

If His Majesty was curious about his soul skills, he could simply ask Xu Jiujiu and the three honored Titled Douluo. There was no need to summon him specifically.

"I don't know."

Xu Jiujiu shook her head.

After the two entered the Imperial Palace, the route they followed gradually began to deviate.

Normally, when Xu Jiawei summoned Tang Feng, it was either for a family banquet in the Imperial Garden or to discuss official matters in the Main Hall.

Yet this path led neither toward the Main Hall nor the Imperial Garden.

"The Treasure Vault?"

Xu Jiujiu observed their route.

She discovered that they were actually heading toward the Treasure Vault.

The royal Treasure Vault stored the vast majority of the Star Luo Empire's treasures.

Other than the Star Luo Imperial Family, few outsiders were qualified to enter it.

"You two, come in with this old woman."

Wang Xian'er beckoned to them.

They did not see Xu Jiawei. Instead, they saw the Immortal Doctor Douluo.

She was usually extremely busy and rarely seen, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

"Grandma Xian'er, why has Imperial Brother summoned us to the Treasure Vault?"

Xu Jiujiu was puzzled.

Even she, his own younger sister, could not understand her Imperial Brother's unusual behavior.

Much less Tang Feng, who knew little about the Star Luo Imperial Family. That boy only knew her, after all.
