Mad Slaughter! Electrolux, Appear!

At this very moment...

The instant he stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest, the scent of rotting vegetation in the air rushed straight into the nostrils of Ning Feng.

The expression on Ning Feng's face was extremely vigilant.

He knew full well that this was the most dangerous place on the entire Douluo Continent; any slight negligence could lead to his immediate demise.

Therefore, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

He advanced cautiously, keeping a sharp eye on his surroundings while beginning to search for a soul beast suitable for himself.

As for his third soul ring, he had long since formed a clear plan in his mind.

In fact, this could already be seen from the selection of Ning Feng's first two soul rings—

The soul rings he had chosen for his first two were always those that could provide self-enhancement.

This was because Ning Feng had figured it out long ago.

He could completely replace those offensive soul skills through self-development.

For example, ten thousand years ago, if Tang San had not absorbed the Mandala Snake soul ring, would his Blue Silver Grass really have been unable to "Bind"?

Ning Feng believed that was impossible; such a thing could be mastered with practice.

Moreover, the potential of a Self-Created Soul Skill was actually very high. During the era of Douluo II, whether it was the self-created soul skills of Huo Yuhao or those of Ji Juechen, they were not the least bit weaker than the soul skills obtained from soul beasts.

However, there was one thing a self-created soul skill could not do: it could not provide the kind of self-enhancing abilities that soul beast soul skills offered a soul master.

Therefore, Ning Feng did not intend to absorb any "offensive soul rings."

His plan was to use all of his soul rings exclusively for "self-enhancement."

In this way, during actual combat, he could use soul beast soul skills to boost his stats, and then use his self-created soul skills to fight.

This would maximize his potential.

So...

Ning Feng's target was currently locked onto a few specific types of soul beasts—

The Explosive Tiger, the Mountain-Moving Ape, or the Berserk Lion.

These soul beasts were renowned in the soul beast world for their strength and explosive power, and their bloodlines contained genes for violent enhancement.

If he could absorb their soul rings, there was a high probability of obtaining a buff-type soul skill that could continuously increase his overall attributes or strength.

"It's just that they are somewhat rare..."

"I hope it goes smoothly."

Ning Feng moved slowly through the dense forest.

He kept his six arms slightly spread, maintaining a state where he could erupt into action at any moment, while also doing his best to keep his footsteps quiet.

However, the vastness of the Star Dou Great Forest exceeded his expectations.

He had lingered in the outer perimeter for several days; although he had encountered many soul beasts, most were either too low in cultivation or completely incompatible with his needs.

The process of finding a suitable soul beast was far more tedious and dangerous than he had imagined.

Until the evening of the fifth day, just as Ning Feng was preparing to find a hidden tree hollow to spend the night, a cold, fishy wind blew over from the bushes ahead.

He stopped in his tracks, his body instinctively tensing up.

Pushing aside the dead branches blocking his path, Ning Feng's pupils suddenly constricted.

Less than thirty meters in front of him was a massive, low-lying pit.

Surrounding it were over a dozen Shadow-Stalking Wolves, each with several hundred years of cultivation, their pitch-black bodies and eyes glowing with an eerie green light.

What was worse was that his position happened to be downwind, and his scent had already been exposed.

The dozen Shadow-Stalking Wolves turned slowly, and low, guttural growls began to resonate.

"Awoo—!"

The lead Shadow-Stalking Wolf let out a shrill howl.

In the next second, the pack moved.

They quickly dispersed, fanning out to surround Ning Feng.

The giant wolf in the lead was the fastest; its paws hit the ground without a sound, turning into a black blur as it lunged straight for Ning Feng's throat.

"It seems there is no avoiding this."

Ning Feng's gaze darkened, and the soul power he had been accumulating for a long time exploded instantly.

"Three Heads and Six Arms, activate!"

Accompanied by the violent surge of soul power, Ning Feng's figure changed instantly.

Two new heads bulged out from the sides of his shoulders, their eyes snapping open to lock onto the blind spots on his left and right.

At the same time, four arms burst out from under his armpits, maintaining a fierce stance alongside his original arms.

"First Soul Skill, Three Saints Suppress the World!"

"Second Soul Skill, Six Paths Control Heaven!"

One yellow and one purple soul ring spun wildly beneath his feet, their brilliant radiance illuminating the previously dim corner of the forest.

Under the amplification of the dual soul skills, the muscles of Ning Feng emitted a teeth-grinding friction sound; his overall attributes increased by forty percent, followed by an additional eighty percent boost to his strength.

"Get lost!"

In an instant, the lead wolf had already pounced to within close range, its foul, fishy stench washing over him.

Ning Feng let out a cold snort, meeting the attack head-on with both arms punching simultaneously.

The first punch struck with precision against the wide-open maw of the Shadow-Stalking Wolf.

With a crisp "crack," the teeth of the Shadow-Stalking Wolf, capable of snapping steel, were pulverized by the violent force.

Immediately following, the second punch landed heavily on its forehead.

The powerful force of the punch passed through its body; the lead wolf didn't even have time to let out a howl before its head exploded like a shattered watermelon, its broken carcass sent flying several meters away.

But this did not scare off the wolf pack.

Several other Shadow-Stalking Wolves seized the opportunity, leaping from the flanks.

Ning Feng's two side arms swung left and right, each punch containing the momentum to collapse a mountain, shattering the bodies of the wolves lunging at him with pinpoint accuracy.

Just then, a cunning Shadow-Stalking Wolf used its companions as cover, silently circling behind Ning Feng and opening its blood-red maw toward the back of his neck.

An ordinary soul master might struggle to react in time to such a sneak attack from behind, but Ning Feng possessed three heads.

Therefore, at this moment, the head located at the rear clearly captured the opponent's movements.

"Six Extremes: Collapse Fist!"

The two arms behind Ning Feng whipped backward, his fists carving an eerie arc through the air.

The force of the punch was restrained, making no loud sound, but the moment it made contact with the chest of that Shadow-Stalking Wolf, the energy erupted completely from within.

The wolf's body shrank inward strangely in mid-air, and then every bone in its body shattered, causing it to collapse limply to the ground.

The battle reached a fever pitch.

Ning Feng was like a precision killing machine, his six arms striking in turns, his fist intent sweeping through the forest.

He made no wasted movements, each punch pursuing the highest efficiency.

The ground was soon carpeted with wolf corpses, purple-black blood staining the weeds.

A few minutes later, the last Shadow-Stalking Wolf breathed its last under the heavy fist of Ning Feng.

Ning Feng retracted his martial soul, standing amidst the sea of wolf corpses, his chest rising and falling slightly.

Although the battle had not lasted long, the high-intensity soul power output and mental concentration still left him feeling a hint of fatigue.

Finally, it's over...

No, I need to leave immediately.

He exhaled deeply, immediately preparing to depart from this blood-soaked ground to find a new place to rest.

However, at that very instant, an unexpected change occurred.

The sky above the previously bright forest suddenly darkened without warning.

An indescribable pressure descended from the heavens, and immediately following, an ethereal and grand voice of an old man boomed directly into the ears of Ning Feng.

"Holding the sun and moon in my hand, plucking the stars, there is no one in this world like me!"

"To think that I, Electrolux, still have a wisp of a remnant soul lingering in this world?"

"Hahahaha!"
