The first Soul Skill was a little too powerful; it had genuinely taken Wang Feng by surprise.
However, such a powerful Soul Skill also came with a considerable cost.
With Wang Feng's Level 16 Soul Power compressed to twice its density, if he wanted to use it over a large area, just three or four people would probably be enough to leave him completely drained.
"Besides, this enhancement should only have its full effect on someone whose level isn't too different from mine."
Wang Feng pondered.
As he spoke, Wang Feng used Divinization on the Star-Moon Fox!
The Star-Moon Fox was enveloped in golden light. Its body grew slightly larger, its fur became even more lustrous, and an even more powerful aura swept over him!
Layers of electric arcs and flashes of lightning also swirled around its body.
"For example, I can't double this Star-Moon Fox's strength. Maybe I can only increase it by around thirty percent? But the paralyzing effect of its attacks doesn't seem to have weakened."
Wang Feng sensed that one third of the Soul Power within him had vanished.
The Star-Moon Fox's strength should be just under three thousand years.
If nothing else was taken into consideration, in terms of level, it was equivalent to a Level 35 or 36 Soul Elder. The effect of Divinization would be greatly reduced on it!
That was perfectly normal.
Support Spirit Masters could enhance Spirit Masters in various ways, but it depended on the circumstances.
It was impossible for a support Spirit Master of just over Level 10 to use a single support skill that would still be effective on a Soul Douluo of Level 80 or 90!
Wang Feng didn't know whether Douluo Continent had such a rule. He could only be certain if he had the chance to find out later.
But he didn't think it was likely. Just imagine: if a support Spirit Master of just over Level 10 could casually enhance a Soul Douluo's attributes, the continent would probably already be in chaos! Because that would mean a Spirit Master of just over Level 10 could influence the battle of a Soul Douluo above Level 80? Or even a Titled Douluo?
That was too outrageous!
It was completely impossible!
At the very least, it would take a support Soul Emperor of Level 60 or higher to provide effective support to a Soul Douluo!
Wang Feng guessed that his Divinization effect could at least work on a Soul Ancestor around Level 45!
It would still provide some enhancement! But beyond that, his Soul Power was too weak, and the Divinization skill he used probably wouldn't be able to provide an effective boost!
As for Spirit Masters whose level was close to his, their strength would be doubled completely!
Most importantly, the paralyzing effect wouldn't weaken!
That was already outrageous enough!
After a thorough study and some thought, Wang Feng had finally figured out his first Soul Skill. He had to admit, this trip to the Soul Hunting Forest had brought him great benefits! He had obtained a six-thousand-year Spirit Ring, his physical constitution had undergone a complete transformation, and the first form of his Martial Spirit, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus, had gained a powerful support skill. It could be said that its abilities had been fully developed!
Wang Feng was even confident that the first form of his Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus was the most perfect support Martial Spirit!
The Divinization Soul Skill had filled in almost every gap in the Golden Lotus's support abilities!
It could restore Soul Power, heal injuries, increase the upper limit of Soul Power, and raise hormone levels. Then the Divinization Soul Skill could enhance a Spirit Master's various abilities, while its added attack effects gave it the ability to control opponents!
What was it missing?
Perhaps its only drawback was its huge Soul Power consumption! Fortunately, he could use the Meteor Tear to compress and purify his Soul Power!
At the same level, the further he advanced, the more his Soul Power would surpass that of other Spirit Masters at the same level!
"All right, little fox. Let's go."
Wang Feng took a brand-new set of clothes from his bundle and put them on. After his body had burst apart last night, his clothes had long since been destroyed. Fortunately, Wang Feng had brought a change of clothes. At least he wouldn't have to go out completely naked!
However, because he had grown taller and quite a bit sturdier, the clothes didn't fit well. They were stretched tight across his body, revealing lines of incredibly well-defined muscles, giving him a peculiar kind of beauty!
Wang Feng felt a little awkward...
"Compressing my Soul Power will make my cultivation path exceptionally difficult. But after this rebirth-like transformation of my body, and with the Meteor Tear, my speed won't be slow."
After changing, Wang Feng waved at the Star-Moon Fox.
Awooo~
The Star-Moon Fox called out to Wang Feng twice.
As if it were saying goodbye?
"Don't worry. I'll be back soon."
Wang Feng said with a smile. Although compressing and purifying his Soul Power slowed his cultivation speed, it would get slower and slower the further he advanced! He had risen nearly to Level 16 in a single morning, but later, each small level would take longer. Level 17 might take him a day or two. Level 18 would take at least four or five days, Level 19 at least ten days, and Level 20 might even take more than a month! Level 21 would take at least two or three months!
After that, Levels 22, 23... would take even longer!
Because the difficulty increased exponentially!
But at the same time, with every level he gained, he would be at least twice as powerful as a normal Spirit Master of the same level!
The further he advanced, the greater the difference in strength!
Sometimes Wang Feng found the thought terrifying!
However, he was confident he could reach around Level 25 within a year, and around Level 32 within six years!
By then, with the strength of a Level 32 Spirit Master, Wang Feng would have some standing on Douluo Continent.
Simply put, he'd have a little capital to go wild! He'd also be able to graduate from the academy and check in at Shrek Academy!
And Wang Feng was looking forward to the second form, hoping it would have powerful offensive effects!
That would make up for his current lack of attacking methods! Otherwise, he could only rely on his physical constitution and fight with technique and brute force!
Wang Feng waved at the Star-Moon Fox.
The next time he came to the Soul Hunting Forest, he might be looking for his second Spirit Ring.
His requirements weren't high: another thousand-year one. He would also have to see what his second form was like once he reached Level 20 before deciding what kind of Soul Beast to look for.
"First, I'll head back to the academy, then go to Spirit Hall to have my Soul Power assessed. Once I do, I'll be a true Spirit Master!"
After leaving the Soul Hunting Forest, Wang Feng ran straight for Notting City.
This time, he was incredibly fast!
On his way there, he had spent the whole morning running, six or seven hours.
Yet this time, he took less than two hours to return to Notting City!
His speed was almost on par with the cars that raced along in his previous life!
Before he had even entered Nuoding Academy, the Gatekeeper smiled respectfully and said to Wang Feng:
"Little Lord, there's something we'd like to tell you."
"What is it?" Wang Feng asked.
"Well, that fellow student from your village who came with you yesterday just ran to the woods behind the academy. The two of us heard that an upper-year student and a Work-Study Student got into a fight. They went to the woods behind the academy to settle it... After your friend came back and heard the news, he hurried over too. He might be in danger."
The Gatekeeper spoke in a low voice. "The upper-year student is called Xiao Chenyu. He has a lot of influence at Nuoding Primary Academy and is the son of the Notting City Lord. He's also very strong-a true Spirit Master! Your friend went too, so he might get the worst of it!"
After hearing the Gatekeeper's words, Wang Feng understood.
It should be Xiao San, right?
The Work-Study Student who got into a fight with the upper-year student should be Xiao Wu.
"Wait, what did you say the upper-year student was called?" Wang Feng asked in surprise.
"Xiao Chenyu."
"..."
Wang Feng's expression turned strange. Wasn't Boss Xiao the kid he had beaten up in Dormitory Six yesterday?
But he shouldn't be able to beat Xiao San now.
Xiao San had gone to the Soul Hunting Forest with Grandmaster last night and had returned today. He must have obtained a Spirit Ring too!
"Got it. I'll go take a look." Wang Feng waved his hand.
"Then take care, Little Lord." The Gatekeeper respectfully saw him off.
Wang Feng smiled.
Those two bastards had learned their lesson.
If anything happened at the academy or in Notting City, those two would probably tell him.
Xiao Chenyu was actually the son of the Notting City Lord, which struck Wang Feng as a little strange. This bit-part character from Douluo Continent was someone he'd long since forgotten, and he couldn't even remember where he'd buried him in the back of his mind.
Following the path behind the academy, Wang Feng quickly entered the woods.
Before he had even reached them, he heard a commotion coming from an open space ahead!
"Little girl, your Martial Spirit is a rabbit. If you lose, why not become our boss's pet? Our Boss Xiao will make an exception and take you in!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Even if I were taking a pet, I, Xiao Chenyu, wouldn't dare call myself the boss! It would have to be Boss Wang!"
"Right, right! The new boss of Dormitory Six!"
For some reason, hearing those words made Wang Feng, who hadn't yet reached them in the woods, break out in a cold sweat...
It turned out that I'd become the boss of these bit-part characters who still had a role to play...
