Di Jie's Challenge

Li Fei took a bottle of pills from his Soul Guide Ring.

He had refined them purely from materials.

"This is the pill I refined."

"I named it... the Peiyuan Pill."

Li Fei said as he shook the bottle in his hand.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he opened the cap and poured one into each girl's palm.

"So this is a pill. It smells so good, and it's so pretty."

Since it was their first time seeing pills, they found them incredibly novel.

Their eyes continuously examined the Peiyuan Pills in their hands.

Li Fei continued explaining, "After I took this pill, it did improve my body quite a bit. However, only the first pill has the greatest effect. Starting from the second, the effect is halved. The more you take afterward, the weaker the effect becomes, until there is none at all."

"That piece of Whale Rubber is in there too?" Enjing asked curiously.

"Yes." Li Fei's eyes shifted as he said, "That piece of Whale Rubber was just as I expected. Refining it together with Medicinal Herbs can improve a Soul Master's physique. However, I still overestimated its effect. The improvement isn't that great. If it's your first time taking it, it'll only add a few decades at most..."

He lied here. He did not want these people to know Whale Rubber's true effects.

Better safe than sorry.

"I see..." The women nodded in realization.

"Try them. I've already taken one, so taking another now won't do anything." Li Fei said.

"Alright."

The women had no reservations. They trusted Li Fei, so they opened their mouths and swallowed the pills.

The pills melted the moment they entered their mouths.

They began sitting cross-legged and cultivated with the Soul Power Guiding Method.

Very quickly, the girls sensed a surging force emerge from within their bodies.

After roughly half an incense stick's time, they had finally digested the pills.

They could all clearly feel that their bodies had indeed grown considerably stronger than before.

"We've been here for so long. Let's go out for a walk. To repay you, we'll treat you to a meal."

Enjing suggested.

"Mm-hmm." The rest of the women nodded.

No one could cultivate endlessly, since it was far too dull and tedious.

They also admired Li Fei. He was simply beyond ordinary.

"Alright, then let's go out for a walk."

Li Fei thought about it and nodded.

Now that his Soul Power had reached the Soul Grandmaster realm, his progress had become increasingly slow.

It was a good time to relax and see whether he might encounter another opportunity.

If he stayed here all the time, he would never come across an opportunity.

After putting the pill furnace into his Storage Ring, the group left the Mongolian Yurt and headed out of the forest.

Suddenly, a commotion came from the dormitory area.

Li Fei and the others happened to pass by while chatting and laughing, and they ran into it.

"I already told you Li Fei isn't here. He's never come to the dormitory. If you're looking for him, look somewhere else! How would we know where he went?"

"From beginning to end, he's never attended class with us!"

"I don't even know what he looks like!"

At that moment, a young man standing before the dormitory door said irritably.

"You could check the library. Rumor has it that he loves reading so much he forgets to eat and sleep." The young man suddenly thought of something and told the taller young man standing before him.

"The library..."

The young man nodded and was about to leave.

He was Di Jie. Having just returned from the Jadeite Forest after obtaining his Second Soul Ring, he had immediately come to challenge Li Fei.

To avenge the humiliation of being bound before, he had decided to let Li Fei see what he was capable of!

"Di Jie!"

At that moment, a calm voice called out.

The two men froze and followed the source of the voice.

Very quickly, they locked onto Li Fei.

"Those are Third Year Senior Sisters. They're all so beautiful." The first-year freshman standing at the dormitory entrance said.

His gaze turned toward Li Fei.

A look of envy appeared on his face.

Why did Li Fei get to be with such a group of beauties?

"Teacher Li..."

For some reason, when Di Jie saw Li Fei, a trace of fear rose in his heart.

That address of teacher came from his admiration and acknowledgment of Li Fei's theoretical knowledge.

But when it came to martial soul combat, he still did not accept it.

Unless Li Fei could defeat him this time as well.

"He's Li Fei? A freshman like us?"

"Why are you calling him teacher?"

The young man was confused.

"You don't know?" Di Jie was stunned.

"I don't. Could you explain in detail?" The young man shook his head.

Di Jie gave him a brief explanation.

"He's that incredible?!"

"The Headmaster personally appointed him as a Theory Instructor? And he's still a student..."

The young man's face filled with shock.

"Then why are you looking for trouble with him?" He was still confused.

Di Jie said calmly, "I acknowledge his theories, but I don't acknowledge his combat strength. I want to challenge him."

"I think you've got rocks in your head. He's only serving as a Theory Instructor, not a combat instructor. So what if you don't acknowledge him?"

"Besides, he's a freshman like me. His Soul Power can't be much higher, probably only in the teens at most."

The young man looked at Di Jie as though he were an idiot.

"Mind your own business!"

"Who said he's only in the teens? He's already a Twenty-Two Level Soul Grandmaster, with two Yellow Century Soul Rings. Most importantly... he's only eight years old..."

As Di Jie spoke, admiration appeared on his face.

An eight-year-old Two Ring Soul Grand Master—who would believe that if he told them?

"What!? An eight-year-old Two Ring Soul Grand Master?! Isn't that absurd!?" The young man was stunned.

Di Jie ignored him and walked straight toward Li Fei.

The young man followed behind, intending to watch the show.

The other freshmen inside the dormitory also came out and followed cautiously. They were all extremely curious.

Gossip was human nature.

"You've grown stronger. Looks like you've finished obtaining your Second Soul Ring."

Looking at the young man approaching him, Li Fei spoke calmly.

"Yes, I came back to find you right after obtaining my Second Soul Ring."

"I'm here to fulfill my previous promise!"

Di Jie said. The next moment, Soul Power erupted from his body.

Two Yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet.

Gold Green vine armor covered his body.

"Looks like you followed my advice and obtained a Four Hundred Years Gold Vine as your Second Soul Ring."

From the color of the Soul Ring, the aura it emitted, the color of the vine armor, and various other details, Li Fei immediately determined Di Jie's Second Soul Ring. He was even remarkably specific.

"You could tell all that!?"

"Amazing! As expected of Instructor Li. I'm impressed!"

Di Jie was shocked.

"That's right. I did follow your advice and absorb a Four Hundred Years Gold Vine as my Second Soul Ring. It gave me powerful metal-like defense and formidable offensive ability!"

"The color of my vine armor has changed too!"

"I truly have to thank you. Otherwise, I might not have absorbed the Gold Vine and gained such benefits!"

"I'm now a Twenty-One Level Soul Master, only one level below you! I refuse to believe I still can't defeat you!"

Di Jie said, clenching his fists.

Back in class, he had asked Li Fei which Soul Beast would be suitable for his Second Soul Ring.

The best answer Li Fei gave was the Gold Vine.

He had also explained how much the Gold Vine could help the vine armor, and how it would lay the foundation for becoming a stronger Soul Master in the future!

Di Jie's First Soul Ring was a Hundred Years Green Vine.

If Li Fei had not given him that advice, he would still have chosen a Green Vine of around Four Hundred Years for his Second Soul Ring.
