Soul Bones and Attitude, Luo Guixing's Misfortune

"Amazing! Truly amazing! I've witnessed the emergence of a future peerless powerhouse!"

Long Zhan slapped the table in praise, his expression excited and exhilarated, filled with admiration for Feng Zaixing.

"I share that view. Brother Mu has taught an excellent disciple. He will surely become a new Sky-Supporting Douluo." The Xuanming Patriarch supported Xu Miao as he voiced the highest recognition for a junior.

Mu Ye had no time to respond to the two of them. He leaned over the Storage Cover with a tense expression, carefully lifted out the unconscious Feng Zaixing, and gently placed him on the sofa.

Then, he took out several small bottles whose fragrance filled the room, removed their stoppers, and fed their contents to his beloved disciple.

In an instant, the life energy throughout the hall became incredibly dense.

Shortly afterward, Feng Zaixing's consciousness returned from the darkness, and Mu Ye's face gradually came into focus.

Pulling at the corners of his mouth, Feng Zaixing gave a hoarse laugh.

"How are they, Teacher? I didn't disgrace you or Teacher Hua, did I?"

A gleam flickered in Mu Ye's eyes as he shook his head heavily.

"Of course not! You did exceptionally well. You are the greatest pride of your teacher and the Primal Body Sect. When we get back, I'll make you lots of delicious food. Rest up properly."

Han Tianyi let out a breath and said, "Fortunately, your foundation is strong. If another one-ring Soul Master had gone through this, waking up so quickly would be impossible. Sleeping for Ten Days to Half a Month would not be unusual."

"Zaixing, you have an endless future ahead of you. Don't push yourself this hard again."

"Rest assured, Grand Uncle-Master. Aren't I fine?"

Feng Zaixing moved his arm, which was gradually regaining feeling, then glanced at Xu Miao, who was standing unsteadily nearby. Smiling, he said, "Besides, I promised my brother that we would give it everything we had. How could I quit halfway?"

Xu Miao gave a simple, honest smile and waved his hand. "If I'd known you were this capable, brother, I wouldn't have dared act like some big brother from the start. Thinking about it now is embarrassing."

"What Young Genius Ranking? It's just some wild ranking. We can discuss it among ourselves."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Long Zhan walked over to Feng Zaixing with a broad smile and said,

"Your talent is the greatest I have ever seen, young friend. You are also Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua's outstanding disciple, a great fortune for our Soul Master world. If there is ever anything my Long Family can do for you, seek me out without hesitation. These are not polite formalities. They are my sincere words."

Han Tianyi smiled faintly and handed Feng Zaixing a Federal Soul Tool Card. "Zaixing, this is from the Long Family Patriarch, to support your advancement in forging."

Han Tianyi secretly sent a telepathic message. "There are five hundred million Federal Coin on the card. He also covered today's admission fees and Xu Miao's second Soul Spirit. He's quite generous."

Feng Zaixing most enjoyed dealing with intelligent people. He accepted the Soul Tool Card, rose to his feet, and smiled at Long Zhan.

"Patriarch Long is truly generous beyond measure, and your two friends are both outstanding talents. Zaixing looks forward to interacting with them more often."

Long Zhan immediately beamed with delight. After offering a few encouraging words, he signaled for his two juniors to step forward.

Long Zhen's former arrogance had vanished without a trace. With a solemn expression, he bowed. "Brother Feng's combat strength is astonishing. Long Zhen admires you. I apologize here for what happened before, and I hope you will not hold it against me."

Long Chen bowed alongside Long Zhen. Raising his head, he said, "Thank you, Brother Feng, for teaching me how a true genius should fight. From now on, I will study diligently and no longer view the world from the bottom of a well."

As he spoke, undisguised admiration showed in his eyes.

The bloodlust and battle awareness Feng Zaixing had displayed in the final battle were things he lacked. The gap between them was far too great.

Feng Zaixing had not expected to become so popular after coming out. Even the Long brothers, who had previously shown some hostility toward him, had taken the initiative to befriend him. This suited him perfectly. He did not put on airs and exchanged a few polite words with them, making the atmosphere exceptionally harmonious for a time.

This is what a normal social environment should be like. Society has modernized, after all. How could it be full of lunatics like Shrek? Feng Zaixing thought happily.

With a wave of Han Tianyi's hand, two dark-golden orbs appeared before him. Smiling, he said,

"Zaixing, Xu Miao, these are the Soul Bones dropped after those two Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bears died. They are also their energy cores. Now that they have been killed, take these Soul Bones."

As he spoke, he guided the two Soul Bones outward with Spiritual Power. They were not among the conventional six great Soul Bones, but rather the Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bears' palm bones. Feng Zaixing's was a Right Palm Bone, while Xu Miao's was a Left Palm Bone.

The Xuanming Patriarch could not help asking, "Illusion Brain Your Excellency, isn't this against the rules? The Spirit Pagoda doesn't seem to have such a precedent."

Han Tianyi shook his head, his expression turning serious.

"No, it is within the rules. After Soul Masters enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, everything they obtain from killing belongs to them, including Soul Bones."

"Actually, when the Spirit Pagoda first used Soul Bones to create powerful Soul Beasts and placed them in the Spirit Ascension Platform, the intention was to encourage talented Soul Masters to kill them and obtain the Soul Bones. It is simply that too much time has passed, and the number of geniuses in history who obtained Soul Bones has been vanishingly small. Gradually, no one mentioned this rule anymore."

"In that case, I don't need mine. Give it to Brother Feng."

Xu Miao suddenly spoke, politely refusing the thousand-year Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear's Left Palm Bone floating before him.

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Han Tianyi was somewhat surprised. Not just anyone could resist the temptation of a Soul Bone.

He had given the Soul Bone to Xu Miao partly out of selfish considerations as well.

Xu Miao waved his hand and asked, "Didn't you say that the Soul Bones belong to whoever killed the beasts, Senior?"

He spoke loudly, "Everyone saw it clearly. Brother Feng killed both bears. I had nothing to do with it."

Upon hearing this, Han Tianyi immediately praised him in his heart. Smart. With a faint smile, he guided the Soul Bone toward Feng Zaixing.

"Zaixing, it seems you must accept both Soul Bones. Since he means well, there is no need for you to decline."

"Ah, this isn't good, not good at all. With my meager cultivation, I've accepted so many favors. It seems I'll have to become a Divine Craftsman even if I have to give it everything I've got."

Feng Zaixing shook his head jokingly, then clasped his hands toward Xu Miao from afar, committing this favor to memory.

As long as someone demonstrated ability and value, countless angel investors would naturally appear. The two families were treating him so well not merely because of the youngsters' spirit, but because they had recognized his potential.

Of course, that was a good thing. He would need to accomplish many things in the future, and the more people he could unite, the better.

Since Feng Zaixing and Xu Miao had not fully recovered, the attendees from the three families were in no hurry to leave. They exchanged what they had learned and even discussed their insights into cultivation. Han Tianyi soon joined in as well.

Of the four great experts present, everyone except Mu Ye was a Super Douluo. Each had unique experience, and now Feng Zaixing and the other three juniors were benefiting from it.

Feng Zaixing, Xu Miao, and Long Zhen's eyes shone brightly as they constantly compared the four experts' words with their own understanding of cultivation. Long Chen looked bewildered. He took out a recorder and pen and paper, hurriedly taking notes.

After some time, Feng Zaixing and Xu Miao recovered.

"Ring ring ring~"

At that moment, Han Tianyi's Soul Tool Communicator rang again. After answering it, a strange look soon crossed his face.

"Luo Guixing, son of God-tier Mech Master Luo Yun, has awakened a Space Element Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power, and wants to purchase a top-tier spatial Soul Spirit? Let them come down directly."

After giving the instruction, Han Tianyi smiled at Mu Ye. "Another acquaintance of yours has arrived. It seems you have a grudge with him too. Didn't you break his Mecha during a spar?"

"He just wasn't skilled enough."

Mu Ye rubbed his nose and said with curiosity, "Your place is really lively today."

"It certainly is."

The elevator doors opened, and a jubilant middle-aged man strode out, leading a spirited young boy by the hand. The boy was quite handsome and refined, with a confident faint smile on his face.

Seeing this, an unusual glint flashed through Feng Zaixing's pupils and vanished.

Luo Guixing. Another member of the original Young Genius Ranking. It seems his character isn't very good?

"I didn't expect there to be so many experts here. Mu Ye, you're here too?"

Luo Yun was startled by the sight as soon as he entered. He restrained his expression and introduced Luo Guixing to Han Tianyi, unable to conceal his pride.

"My son was fortunate enough to awaken the Space Element. I ask Illusion Brain Your Excellency to select the most suitable Soul Spirit for him."

"Very well."

Han Tianyi's expression remained calm as he selected a natural four-hundred-year spatial Soul Spirit and began the fusion ritual.

He had seen too many powerful Martial Souls today. Space Element did not rank particularly highly among them.

Once his son received a suitable Soul Spirit, Luo Yun could not help looking toward Mu Ye. He said mildly, "Mu Ye, my son's future is boundless. How capable is your disciple? It would be a pity if your skills were lost to history."

Elemental Martial Souls had always been synonymous with high-grade or even top-tier Martial Souls. Space Element was the most mysterious and unfathomable of them all, and Luo Yun had placed great hopes on his son.

Mu Ye merely smiled without answering. Luo Guixing's potential was incomparable to Feng Zaixing's, and his cultivation was even less comparable to A Ruheng's. The senior and junior brothers could send Luo Guixing on his way with a single punch.

Luo Yun's face immediately turned ugly.

Moments later.

A pale yellow Soul Ring appeared beneath Luo Guixing's feet, making his smile even more confident.

Looking at Feng Zaixing, he said proudly, "As Sect Master Mu's disciple, perhaps my father falls somewhat short of your teacher, but I believe this situation will be reversed in our generation."

"Perhaps you do not understand how profound the Space Element is, but within five years, my name will be on the Young Genius Ranking."

Feng Zaixing's expression immediately turned astonished. Kid, is there something wrong with your head? You want to challenge me?

Before Feng Zaixing could speak, Long Chen did. "What are you babbling about? If you want a fight, I'll accompany you."

Long Chen flashed in front of Luo Guixing. His face displayed an even more arrogant expression as he looked down at him.

"The one you want to challenge is my big brother. My name is Long Chen. My Martial Soul is the Bright Holy Dragon, and I also fused with a Soul Spirit today. If you want to challenge my big brother, get past me first."

"I entered the Spirit Ascension Platform one more time than you did, so I'll let you make the first three moves. How about it?"

Luo Guixing's expression stiffened, and the corner of his eye twitched incessantly. "..."

A Bright Holy Dragon Soul Master recognized someone else as his big brother? Was he dreaming?

Long Zhen said coldly, "I can tell that you're hiding a knife behind that smile. You don't look like a good person. By the time you reach my age, you will most likely not even measure up to me."

Luo Guixing's expression turned ashamed and angry as he demanded, "Who are you? What right do you have to act like an elder?"

"Don't you want to enter the Young Genius Ranking? I'm ranked twelfth. Is that qualification enough?"

Long Zhen said with a cold face, "Within five years, he will definitely surpass my rank. As for you, you may not even be able to catch up to me in this lifetime!"

Provoking Feng Zaixing in front of the two brothers—how was that any different from looking down on them? They absolutely could not tolerate it!
