Meanwhile...
The moment that dignified, ancient voice echoed through his mind, Ning Feng's body went rigid.
He knew exactly who the voice belonged to.
Electrolux!
He was no ordinary figure!
He possessed immense ability and unfathomable means. He was known as the Holy Necromancer.
In Ning Feng's memories, Huo Yuhao's later achievements in the original story were due not only to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's initial assistance, but, most crucially, to the help of this great figure.
Without Electrolux, whether Huo Yuhao could have reached the heights he did in the original story was anyone's guess.
So now, Ning Feng stood rooted to the spot, his eyes alight with excitement.
He knew exactly what his situation was.
He was a transmigrator, a "genius youth" who had yet to grow into his potential.
His talent was indeed excellent.
But what if, on top of that, he could also receive the help of a powerful figure like Electrolux?
Wouldn't that make him invincible?
So at that moment...
Ning Feng asked himself silently,
"Do I have a chance of catching Electrolux's eye?"
The answer came even faster than he'd expected.
Electrolux's phantom swept through his mind, as if conducting a thorough examination of him from the inside out.
A few seconds later, Electrolux's voice rang out again, tinged with surprise and approval:
"Oh? This boy's soul is quite strong, and his body has decent potential, too."
Before Ning Feng could react, a gentle yet immense force entered his mind.
Electrolux's remnant soul sank into a deep slumber in the depths of his mind.
A moment later.
The scene before Ning Feng returned to normal, but his spiritual world had undergone a profound transformation.
He'd struck gold.
That was the only thought on his mind.
Although he'd searched the Star Dou Great Forest for ages without finding a suitable Soul Beast...
Compared to gaining an ally of Electrolux's caliber, all his earlier bad luck was insignificant.
He carefully examined his mind and found Electrolux's remnant soul sitting in silent meditation, completely still.
But Ning Feng wasn't in a hurry. He knew Electrolux was still weak. Once he recovered a little, or Ning Feng found the Gold of Life, Electrolux would become a powerful ally!
So he truly wasn't worried at all.
Over the next two days, Ning Feng continued searching the forest.
He searched for Soul Beasts with far greater composure than before.
Now that he had a plan, his mindset had changed completely.
He was no longer tense over finding a Soul Ring. Instead, he moved forward step by step at his own pace.
The forest's terrain was complicated.
Sometimes he encountered dense thickets; other times, dark swamps.
After two more days of searching, Ning Feng still hadn't found a Soul Beast he was satisfied with.
But he wasn't discouraged, nor did he feel even the slightest bit of frustration.
He still got up early every day to practice his boxing, keeping himself in peak condition.
He knew that opportunities couldn't be rushed.
However, on this day...
Just as he was about to change direction and continue searching, a commotion came from the woods off to one side.
It was close.
Ning Feng immediately stopped and held his breath.
Soon, he saw what was happening.
Up ahead, a huge thousand-year Soul Beast was charging toward him like a madman.
Its fur was dark brown, and the earth trembled slightly beneath its pounding steps.
Two women and a man were racing after it.
The man was middle-aged, and the two girls with him looked to be in their teens.
Even from a distance, Ning Feng could sense that the three had solid auras. They were clearly no weak Soul Masters.
At that moment, they were chasing after it while shouting, "Run! Friend up ahead, get out of the way! The beast's gone berserk!"
Hearing them, Ning Feng glanced at the thousand-year Soul Beast charging straight at him, then at the three pursuing it.
He had no intention of dodging.
A mere thousand-year Soul Beast wasn't enough to scare him off.
Ning Feng exhaled. Under the horrified gazes of the three, he made no move to evade and instead activated his Martial Soul.
"Three Heads and Six Arms!"
At Ning Feng's low shout, his shoulders bulged, two more heads opened their eyes, and four arms extended from beneath his armpits.
Facing the charging thousand-year Soul Beast, Ning Feng didn't retreat. He charged toward it instead.
His Soul Power erupted at that moment.
His first Soul Skill, "Three Saints Suppress the World," activated. His muscles swelled in an instant, and all his attributes increased.
Then came his second Soul Skill, "Six Paths Heaven-Opening." Soul Power surged violently around his six arms, whipping up a gale.
Finally, Ning Feng gathered all his strength into a single point and unleashed his Self-Created Soul Skill, "Six Extremes Heaven-Collapsing Force."
The thousand-year Soul Beast was already in a frenzy. Seeing someone in its way, it didn't slow down. It opened its bloody maw, intent on tearing Ning Feng to pieces.
But the one it collided with was Ning Feng's fist.
All six fists struck with pinpoint precision at the same time, hitting the Soul Beast's forehead and chest.
"Boom!"
A heavy, muffled impact rang out.
The thousand-year Soul Beast, which had been charging at Ning Feng with such ferocity, suddenly stopped in its tracks under that blow.
Then its huge body seemed to have been struck by a giant hammer. Its teeth flew out, and the sound of cracking bones rang clear.
Its massive form traced an arc through the air before slamming into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust. It didn't move again.
As the dust settled, the thousand-year Soul Beast lay sprawled on the ground, badly injured and too weak to struggle.
The three who had caught up stopped dead when they saw this.
Their expressions shifted from alarm to shock, then to disbelief.
The middle-aged Soul Master was dumbfounded.
He was a Five-Ring Soul King and knew exactly what it meant to face a thousand-year Soul Beast in a frenzy.
Yet this boy had badly injured it in the blink of an eye?
How much strength did that take?
And his Martial Soul was pretty outrageous, too!
If it was a Body Martial Soul, then three heads and six arms hardly looked normal!
But if it wasn't a Body Martial Soul, then weren't his head and hands part of his body?
The Five-Ring Soul King looked as if he'd seen a ghost.
The two girls were just as shocked.
But there seemed to be a difference in status between them.
After taking a look at Ning Feng, one of the girls turned to the other.
"Your Highness..."
The beautiful girl who had been addressed as the princess nodded.
She gazed at Ning Feng with blazing interest and took the initiative to extend her hand in greeting. "Hello, friend. I'm Vina, princess of the Heaven Dou Empire. Thank you so much for helping us just now. May I ask your name?"
