Greed

As Ling Feng was lost in thought over the soul bone, his keen senses detected a faint disturbance nearby.

"Come out!"

His gaze sharpened. Without hesitation, he swiftly put away the soul bone, turned around, and looked behind him.

Two middle-aged men were slowly walking toward him. The five soul rings on each of them emitted a faint glow, and their ring configurations were identical.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple.

Ling Feng recognized their strength at a glance—Soul Kings. However, he felt not the slightest concern.

With his current strength and the powerful soul skills at his command, he was completely confident in dealing with these two Soul Kings, whose soul ring configurations were relatively poor. It would take no great effort at all.

"Hand over the soul bone, kid, and we'll spare your life."

The moment the two men drew near, they made no attempt to hide the greed in their eyes as they stared at Ling Feng.

Clearly, they had seen exactly what happened when Ling Feng obtained the soul bone.

In their eyes, soul bones were supreme treasures. No matter what type of soul bone it was, obtaining one would allow their strength to undergo a qualitative leap.

Although they still did not know what kind of soul bone it was, that did nothing to lessen their desire for it.

"You want the soul bone? That depends on whether you have lives to take it." Ling Feng replied with a face full of disdain.

To him, these two Soul King-level soul masters were nothing more than clowns. They actually dared to dream of stealing a soul bone from him. It was pure wishful thinking.

"Kid, you really refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. In that case, once we kill you, that soul bone will naturally fall into our hands."

Hearing Ling Feng's arrogant words, the two men glared furiously, their eyes flashing with ferocity.

They spoke no further. The light of their soul rings suddenly intensified as they released their respective martial souls and charged fiercely at Ling Feng, carrying powerful waves of Soul Power.

They intended to use their numerical advantage and their Soul Power to take Ling Feng down in one stroke and seize the soul bone.

"Overestimating yourselves."

Ling Feng uttered the four words calmly, as though he did not care about their attacks at all.

Immediately afterward, the Void Mirror Martial Soul burst forth in dazzling radiance, and his unique, powerful soul ring configuration appeared.

Purple, purple, black.

The three astonishing soul rings radiated an aura that sent chills down one's spine.

"Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring? How is that possible?"

The instant those powerful soul rings appeared, the two middle-aged men ahead of him turned pale in shock.

They had never expected this seemingly young soul master to possess such a formidable soul ring configuration.

They immediately realized something was wrong. They knew they might have provoked an enemy they should never have provoked.

But at this point, they were already riding a tiger and could not dismount. With the arrow on the string, they had no choice but to fire. They could only grit their teeth and unleash their strongest attacks, hoping for a sliver of survival.

"Perfect. I'll use you to test my newly acquired soul skill."

Ling Feng seized the moment, a flicker of excitement flashing through his eyes. His second Five Thousand Year Soul Ring shone brilliantly as he decisively unleashed the Void Domain.

In an instant, a powerful force of Space Power spread outward from him, as though it merged him with the surrounding space.

With the enhancement of the Void Domain, the power of his soul skill would be amplified without limit. This was the perfect chance to test its might.

"Second Soul Skill: Space Folding."

As Ling Feng gave a low shout, the light released by the Void Mirror Martial Soul became even more dazzling. A mysterious and powerful force surged like a tide into his right hand.

Ling Feng lightly pressed his right palm toward the empty space ahead. The motion appeared gentle, yet it contained power enough to overturn heaven and earth.

Violent Space Power poured forth like a raging flood. Everywhere it reached, space seemed to be ruthlessly kneaded and folded by an invisible giant hand.

The two middle-aged men, who had been charging toward Ling Feng with overwhelming momentum, immediately sensed the disturbance in the surrounding space.

To their horror, the space around them seemed to become a massive cage, mercilessly squeezing the two of them tighter and tighter.

"No!"

They struggled desperately, trying to break free from the terrifying Space Power, but it was all in vain.

Their bodies were completely frozen in midair, unable to move. They could only watch helplessly as the Space Power drew closer and closer, their faces filled with terror and despair.

"Damn it! What did you do to us?"

The two men frantically channeled all their Soul Power, trying to break through the strange confinement.

But no matter how hard they tried, they could not change the situation. They could only roar in fury, their voices full of unwillingness and helplessness.

"Go ask the King of Hell."

Ling Feng's eyes were cold and merciless. He slowly exerted force with both hands again, and the Space Power instantly intensified to its peak.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under the crushing force of that terrifying Space Power, the two middle-aged men ahead were directly squeezed apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist as a heavy rain of blood splattered across the ground.

Seeing this, Ling Feng's expression did not ripple in the slightest. He slowly withdrew his martial soul.

In his eyes, they had brought this upon themselves. If they wanted to kill and rob for treasure, they had to be prepared to bear the consequences.

In the law-of-the-jungle world of Douluo Continent, there was no absolute right or wrong—only the difference in strength.

The Second Soul Skill he had just used—Space Folding—gave Ling Feng a deeper understanding of his own strength.

The ingenious aspect of this soul skill was that it allowed him to fold the surrounding space to a certain extent at will, creating tremendous crushing force and dealing fatal damage to his enemies.

Just like before, he had merely controlled the space around the two men and folded it, easily crushing them to death.

Moreover, Space Folding had far more uses than that. It could be combined with other offensive skills to create even more powerful and difficult-to-resist attack combinations.

For example, when using Space Blade, he could fold the space in front of an enemy, shortening the distance of the attack and striking them with greater speed and power.

Of course, while Space Folding was powerful, it was not invincible. Against truly powerful opponents, the effect Space Folding could produce would be negligible.

As for the soul ring of the Azure Scale Serpent Emperor that he had absorbed earlier, the soul skill he gained was—Space Mirroring. He had not yet had the chance to use it.

Yet merely from the description of the soul skill, Ling Feng could sense its power.

It used Space Power to condense an indestructible barrier.

Not only could this barrier effectively block an enemy's attacks, it could also reflect them to a certain extent, creating an opportunity for him to counterattack.

Ling Feng could not help but marvel inwardly. As expected of a God-tier Martial Soul: the Void Mirror.
