# The Dumbfounded Wang Feng!

Wang Feng felt a third of the Soul Power in his body disappear. More importantly, the paralyzing effect didn't weaken!

For some reason, hearing those words made Wang Feng—still approaching through the woods—wear an utterly exasperated expression.

Perhaps its only drawback was the massive Soul Power cost! Fortunately, he could use the Meteor Tear to compress and purify his Soul Power!

The Star-Moon Fox's strength seemed to be just under three thousand years. Because the difficulty increased by a geometric multiple!

Compressing my Soul Power will make cultivation incredibly difficult. But with my body reborn and the Meteor Tear, my speed won't slow down!

You'd need an auxiliary Soul Emperor at least Level 60 to give effective support to a Soul Douluo! After that, Levels 22, 23... would take even longer!

This time, he moved incredibly fast!

"Take this Star-Moon Fox, for example. I can't double its strength. Maybe I can only increase it by around thirty percent? But the paralyzing effect of the attack doesn't seem to have weakened."

Xiao Chenyu was the son of the Notting City Lord, which struck Wang Feng as odd. He'd forgotten this bit-part character from Douluo Continent so long ago that he couldn't even remember where he'd filed him away.

The higher the level, the greater the multiplier!

"Right, right! Our Dormitory Six's new boss!"

Simply put, he now had a little room to let loose! It was the perfect chance to graduate and head to Shrek Academy to check in!

"Boss, there's something we need to tell you."

"Little girl, your Martial Spirit is a rabbit. If you lose, why not become our boss's pet? Our Boss Xiao is willing to take you in, even if it's a bit beneath him!"

His first Soul Skill was so powerful that Wang Feng was genuinely shocked.

Those two little bastards had learned their lesson.

Yet this time, he'd taken less than two hours to get back to Notting City!

"Wait, what was the name of that older student?" Wang Feng asked in surprise.

To make up for his current lack of offensive skills! Otherwise, he could only rely on his physical strength and fight hand-to-hand with technique!

Layers of electric threads and flashes of lightning coiled around him.

"Don't be ridiculous. Even if I were taking in a pet, I, Xiao Chenyu, wouldn't dare call myself the boss! Only Boss Wang could do that!"

Wang Feng smiled.

"Don't worry. I'll be back soon."

So I've become the boss of these bit-part characters who actually get to appear more than once...

Wang Feng waved at the Star-Moon Fox.

And Wang Feng was looking forward to its second form. Ideally, it would have a powerful offensive effect!

"Besides, this boost should only work at full strength on someone whose level is close to mine."

He was almost as fast as a car speeding down the road back in his previous life!

Wang Feng guessed that his Divinization effect should work on Soul Ancestors around Level 45, at the very least!

The requirements weren't high: another thousand-year Soul Beast. He'd have to wait until he reached Level 20 and see what his second form was before deciding what kind of Soul Beast to seek out.

Before he'd even gotten close, he heard a commotion from a clearing up ahead!

That was completely impossible! It should be Xiao San, right? But now he thought that was unlikely. If an auxiliary Spirit Master at just over Level 10 could casually boost the attributes of a Soul Douluo, the continent would've descended into chaos long ago! Wouldn't that mean a Spirit Master at just over Level 10 could influence the battle of a Soul Douluo above Level 80? Or even a Titled Douluo?

The gatekeeper lowered his voice. "That older student is named Xiao Chenyu. He's very influential at Nuoding Primary Academy, and he's the son of the Notting City Lord. He's strong, too—a true Spirit Master! Your friend went there as well. I'm afraid he might get hurt!"

After leaving Soul Hunting Forest, Wang Feng ran straight for Notting City.

Wang Feng changed his clothes and waved to the Star-Moon Fox.

Following the path along the back hill, Wang Feng quickly entered the woods.

Wang Feng's expression turned strange. Wasn't Boss Xiao the kid I beat up in Dormitory Six yesterday?

Xiao San had gone to Soul Hunting Forest with Grandmaster last night and returned today. He must've obtained a Spirit Ring, too!

"..."

"I'll head back to the academy first, then go to Spirit Hall to have my Soul Power assessed. After that, I'll be a true Spirit Master!"

The Star-Moon Fox barked twice at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng was even confident that the first form of his Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus was the most perfect auxiliary Martial Spirit imaginable!

As he spoke, Wang Feng used Divinization on the Star-Moon Fox.

With his Level 16 Soul Power compressed to twice its normal density, if he wanted to use the skill over a wide area, just three or four people would be enough to leave him completely drained.

After some research and thought, Wang Feng had finally figured out his first Soul Skill.

There was no denying that this trip to Soul Hunting Forest had brought him a great deal! He'd obtained a six-thousand-year Spirit Ring, his physique had undergone a tremendous transformation, and the first form of his Golden Lotus had gained a powerful support skill. His abilities had been fully unlocked!

"All right, little fox. Time to go."

By then, with the strength of a Level 32 Spirit Master, Wang Feng would finally have a foothold on Douluo Continent.

Wang Feng pondered.

It was impossible for an auxiliary Spirit Master just over Level 10 to use a support skill that still worked on a Soul Douluo at Level 80 or 90!

After hearing the gatekeeper out, Wang Feng understood.

That was absurd!

Wang Feng smiled and said a few words.

Although compressing and purifying his Soul Power slowed his cultivation, the higher his level got, the slower he'd progress!

He'd gained nearly sixteen levels in a single morning, but later on, every level would take longer. Level 17 might take him a day or two. Level 18, at least four or five days. Level 19, more than ten days. Level 20 might take over a month! Level 21 would take at least two or three months!

Sometimes, even Wang Feng found it a little frightening when he thought about it.

On the way there, it had taken him the whole morning—six or seven hours—to make the journey at a sprint.

But a Soul Skill this powerful came with a correspondingly high cost.

The Star-Moon Fox was enveloped in golden light. Its body grew slightly larger, its fur shone more brightly, and a more powerful presence washed over him!

Not considering any other factors, when it came to level, a boost applied to a Soul Elder around Level 35 or 36 would be greatly reduced!

But because he'd grown taller and broader, his clothes no longer fit. They clung tightly to him, revealing every sharply defined muscle. It was strangely beautiful!

That made sense, too.

"That's right. I was prepared for that."

"I see."

The gatekeeper respectfully saw him off. "Take care, Boss."

That left Wang Feng feeling a little awkward... From now on, if anything happened at the academy or in Notting City, those two would probably come tell him.

Every ability had improved to some extent!

But beyond that, his Soul Power was too low. The Divinization skill he used probably wouldn't be able to provide an effective boost!

Almost as if it were saying goodbye?

"Yeah, that's what happened. Your classmate from the same village—the one who came with you yesterday—just ran toward the woods behind the school. We asked around and heard that an older student had gotten into a fight with a work-study student. They ran off to the woods behind the hill to settle it... Your friend seems to have heard about it and rushed over there, too. He could be in danger."

Wang Feng waved a hand. "Got it. I'll go take a look."

The older student who'd gotten into a fight with the work-study student was probably Xiao Wu.

But he shouldn't be able to beat Xiao San as he was now.

The Divinization Soul Skill let the Golden Lotus provide almost every kind of support! It could restore Soul Power, heal injuries, raise one's Soul Power limit, and boost hormones. Then Divinization enhanced all sorts of abilities and added attack effects with a control component!

What else was missing?
