"Although my Soul Power is gone, my physical abilities have changed so drastically it's like heaven and earth!"
Wang Feng closed his eyes and listened to the world.
He could clearly sense insects and ants moving more than a thousand meters away.
Even Xiao San, who was now practicing the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, couldn't manage even one-fifth of this.
This must all be due to the Six-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. The changes had come from his body being reforged!
His body had truly been reborn in the flames!
He had been bathed in the life energy within the Meteor Tear, and endured the terrifying pressure brought by the Six-Thousand-Year Soul Ring! On top of that, countless previous workouts, pushing beyond his physical limits as a foundation, and the energy stored in his body-
All of it had brought about his current transformation!
"Hahaha... With my physical abilities alone, I can probably crush most Spirit Masters around level forty now, right?"
A smile appeared on Wang Feng's face.
His body had grown much taller, by about six or seven centimeters, and he looked around eleven or twelve years old.
"As for Soul Power?"
A faint smile appeared on Wang Feng's face. "I wonder what level I can reach after meditating this whole morning?"
He hadn't practiced at all before now.
The Meteor Tear had released energy several times, and his Green Lotus Martial Soul had also supplied some energy. He should have had more than Innate Level 20 Soul Power.
So there had been no need to practice at all.
"Little fox, keep watch for me. I'm going to meditate for a while."
The corner of Wang Feng's mouth curved upward.
He touched the Meteor Tear at his heart.
This time, he would cultivate himself!
The Meteor Tear not only had powerful healing abilities; as his body gradually grew stronger, it could also greatly accelerate cultivation and energy absorption!
And now, with his body practically perfect...
How fast would he cultivate through meditation?
Level ten? Level twenty?
Even without Soul Power, what could possibly be difficult for me?
Wang Feng sat cross-legged and began meditating, using nothing more than the most ordinary meditation method taught at the academy.
However...
In an instant, it was as if the energy of half the Soul Hunting Forest suddenly surged wildly!
And it all rushed in only one direction!
Toward Wang Feng's body!
He seemed to be at the very center of an energy storm!
The Star-Moon Fox watched him, pacing back and forth restlessly.
What was going on with this child?
He'd just started cultivating like that?
Level one, level two...
Level six, level seven...
Level ten!
In less than two hours!
A deep purple Spirit Ring suddenly appeared from Wang Feng's body!
It radiated a dazzling deep purple light!
His First Soul Ring!
Next came-
Eleven, twelve!
Fourteen, fifteen!
Seventeen, eighteen!
Only after another two hours had passed did the Soul Power fluctuations around Wang Feng slowly come to a stop!
In four hours, he had shot straight up to level eighteen!
Wang Feng estimated that his Soul Power had reached roughly level eighteen.
"No, the Golden Lotus's own ability consumes too much. Level eighteen isn't enough! I'll compress my Soul Power!"
Wang Feng thought to himself, "With my current physical abilities, my body can easily withstand compressing my Soul Power to twice its density!"
Even at level twenty, his Soul Power would only let him use the Golden Lotus's first form a few times.
That was why Wang Feng wanted to compress his Soul Power!
Soul Power compression depended on a Spirit Master's physical abilities.
Ordinary Spirit Masters couldn't compress their Soul Power; the strain was too great! And they wouldn't even think of trying!
Wang Feng thought this was also one reason why a Spirit Ring was needed to continue increasing Soul Power every ten levels.
But Wang Feng's body could withstand it now!
"If I can compress my Soul Power to twice its density, that'll be enough."
Wang Feng's eyes lit up, as though he had found a new path.
After Soul Power was compressed, its total amount stayed the same, but its quality changed drastically!
Put simply, he could use a Soul Skill more times!
However, Soul Power didn't increase by equal amounts; it increased progressively, with each level stronger than the one before.
The higher the level, the greater the difference between each level!
Among Titled Douluo of the same Power Attack System, a one-level difference could decide the victor. That showed just how much it mattered.
So compressing Soul Power became even more difficult.
The body could hardly withstand it!
"If I compress level-twenty Soul Power twice, I wonder if it'll match a level-thirty Spirit Master? I wonder if anyone on Douluo Continent has ever done this."
Wang Feng took a deep breath and stopped absorbing Soul Power.
As someone who had crossed into Douluo Continent, he couldn't just follow the usual path. He had to try out some ideas of his own.
After all, a modern perspective, a store of knowledge, and the ability to accept things and imagine possibilities were all powerful advantages!
If the conditions weren't right, so be it. But Wang Feng believed he had the conditions to try this now!
His physical abilities and the Meteor Tear he possessed were all things he could rely on to do this!
He glanced at the sky!
Wang Feng closed his eyes and controlled the Soul Power in his body, guiding it throughout his body before eventually gathering it into his heart and sending it into the Meteor Tear.
The Soul Power flowed into the Meteor Tear. A moment later, it surged back out, purer than before!
But each time he compressed it, it put varying degrees of pressure on his mind and body!
"It works! It seems the Meteor Tear has the ability to temper and compress Soul Power too!"
Wang Feng felt a little delighted.
And so, Wang Feng absorbed Soul Power while compressing and refining it!
Until noon!
The sun stood directly overhead!
Wang Feng abruptly opened his eyes, a flash of green light passing through them!
He spread his palm, and a Green Lotus quietly blossomed!
Its first form had changed: the lotus seed had turned into a Golden Lotus, as though it had fully matured!
It was extraordinarily beautiful! Each lotus leaf was plump and glistening!
"Twice-compressed Soul Power, complete!"
Feeling the much smaller but purer cluster of Soul Power inside him, a confident smile appeared on his face. "Its amount is roughly equivalent to level sixteen, but when I use it, it lasts even longer than level-twenty-six Soul Power!"
This was a sort of exploit Wang Feng had achieved by combining his physical abilities with the Meteor Tear!
For normal Spirit Masters, the idea of compressing Soul Power didn't even exist!
Because once they cultivated to level twenty, the amount of their Soul Power could no longer increase!
But Wang Feng had forcefully used the Meteor Tear to refine and compress his Soul Power, while his explosively powerful body withstood the strain. That was how he had reached this point!
No one could probably replicate the thoughts and actions of a genius like Wang Feng!
"The farther I go, the harder it'll be to compress Soul Power! But the gains will be enormous too! Twice? Three times?"
Wang Feng thought to himself. "Because the higher I go, the more Soul Power each level will contain... But this is my path of cultivation! When I reach the level of a Titled Douluo, if I can compress my Soul Power twice... Tsk, tsk. I might even be able to destroy a god, right?"
Of course, that was only Wang Feng's guess. He didn't know exactly how things would turn out.
But it was the path of cultivation he had worked out for himself!
"Now, I'll try out the First Form Golden Lotus and Soul Skill empowered by this Six-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Once I've compressed it to level twenty, I should be able to activate the Green Lotus's second form, right?"
Wang Feng murmured.
In fact, another reason he had compressed his Soul Power was that the Green Lotus was too powerful. It would probably take a great deal of Soul Power to activate its second form.
Wang Feng figured that ordinary level-twenty Soul Power probably wouldn't be enough to activate the second form!
He urged the freshly compressed Soul Power he had just cultivated into the Golden Lotus in his palm, and wisps of golden lightning still flickered around it!
The larger Golden Lotus radiated waves of gentle power, but the thunderbolts crackling around it added a few touches of unique divine majesty!
Right after that, the Golden Lotus blazed with light!
A lotus petal drifted gently away, transforming into countless points of light that fell onto Wang Feng.
In an instant!
Surging power burst wildly from Wang Feng!
At the sight of this, a hint of delight appeared on Wang Feng's face:
"Just as I thought. The Golden Light Thunder Leopard's Six-Thousand-Year Soul Ring gave the Golden Lotus a boost to strength, speed, stamina, and all-around attributes!"
"The degree of amplification should be ten tenths-that is, double!!!!"
Wang Feng's entire body gave off a faint golden glow, as if he had been gilded!
"And on top of that, mine is a group buff!"
Looking at the lotus petal that had grown back, even Wang Feng felt it was a little overpowered.
He vaguely remembered that in Douluo Continent, Dai Mubai, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, had a first Thousand-Year Soul Ring whose Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, similarly increased strength, speed, defense, and other attributes across the board by onefold!
But Dai Mubai could only use it on himself, and it could only last half an hour.
But his own...
All he could say was, it truly lived up to being a Soul Skill from a Six-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!
"I feel like it can last at least an hour. My whole body's boiling, and I want to go all out..."
Wang Feng thought it over. "What should I name my first Soul Skill? Berserk? Too low-class! Enhancement? That sounds pretty good..."
Such a terrifying group buff, with such a long duration.
Calling it Divinization wouldn't be an exaggeration!
And that was only the Soul Skill, not to mention the Golden Lotus's own unique abilities! It could restore Soul Power, heal injuries, increase Soul Power, and more! But these abilities consumed a great deal of his Soul Power-far more than the Soul Skill! And the Soul Power the Golden Lotus restored was less than what he consumed, so he couldn't use it to make himself a perpetual-motion machine.
"Wait, does it seem like there are other effects too?"
Wang Feng suddenly froze. He looked at his palm and saw strands of lightning as thin as hair drifting across it!
"Could it be...?"
Wang Feng suddenly reached toward the Star-Moon Fox beside him, which was watching him curiously.
In an instant!
The moment he touched it,
the Star-Moon Fox's whole body bristled as if its fur had been blown up. Its snowy-white coat stood on end!
Its eyes even looked all soft and numb...
"Damn... could it be that this Divinization not only boosts attributes, but also adds a paralyzing attack? And the paralysis effect seems pretty good?"
Wang Feng was stunned.
That's too much!
