"The item is at the Eastsea City branch of the Spirit Pagoda. Here is the password; just go and retrieve it."
The call ended, but Ji Fengyu's agitated heart could not calm down.
The Rouge Soft-Muscle Python!
As Jiang Nannan's spirit, it was not only powerful in combat but possessed an incredibly absurd mechanism: it shared its master's soul skills!
Jiang Nannan's Teleportation, Invincible Golden Body, Soft Bone Lock... the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python could use them all.
Wouldn't you call that overpowered?!
Ji Fengyu had long set his sights on this type of spirit, but being powerful also meant it was highly sought after.
After ten thousand years of being snatched up, such spirits had become extremely scarce.
The person behind him had spent two years searching before finally finding a century-old Rouge Soft-Muscle Python.
Distraction Control was also quite useful.
Although the Rainbow Dragon King was far more enduring than the Rainbow Dragon or the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, planning one's soul power rationally remained crucial.
Ji Fengyu happily headed straight for the Spirit Pagoda.
Only after securing the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python—the perfect first spirit for his Skin martial soul—did he feel truly at ease.
Ji Fengyu arrived at his small repair shop in Eastsea City.
Rainbow Mecha Repair.
He had been a genius when studying auto repair in his past life.
He never expected to be an even greater genius at repairing mechas in Douluo; he had reached Level 3 as a repairman by age nine and was not far from Level 4.
However, this secondary profession was not as important as others, and Ji Fengyu's talent in this area was not quite as eye-catching.
Besides, he wasn't open for business today.
Entering the small shop and locking the door behind him, Ji Fengyu took out the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python he had been longing for.
It was a delicate, rouge-colored little snake, Quietly coiled inside the spirit ball.
Ji Fengyu grabbed it and refined it in an instant!
The skin on his body began to shimmer with a luster as white and jade-like as Hotaru, faintly tinged with the color of rouge.
His face looked powdered, his lips painted with rouge, yet he carried an air of heroism—wait, this configuration... was he becoming Liu Bei?
Yellow! Yellow!
Two new century-old soul rings rose from beneath his feet, terrifyingly potent!
The Rouge Soft-Muscle Python, which had just been quietly coiled in the spirit ball, crawled out and wrapped itself around Ji Fengyu's shoulder.
It had grown significantly, reaching a length of 2.5 meters and the thickness of a wrist, its soft pink appearance masking a fierce aura.
"First soul skill, Dragon-Snake Transformation: increases strength and speed by 100%, defense by 50%, and enhances body flexibility."
Double-A in strength and speed?
"Second soul skill, Snake Molting: a 'cicada shedding its skin' technique; immune to one attack by shedding skin, leaving behind a decoy, removing negative status effects, and granting invisibility."
Ji Fengyu was extremely satisfied with both new soul skills.
The powerful amplification of the first soul skill, Dragon-Snake Transformation, and the utility and survivability of the second soul skill, Snake Molting.
Combined with the combat bonuses of the Skin martial soul itself and the coordinated combat of the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python, He, an auxiliary-type Soul Grand Master, now possessed a "little bit" of combat power.
Skin is one of the most important organs of the human body, And as a Body martial soul, it was of the highest tier.
The Rouge Soft-Muscle Python was also a leader among spirits; the combination of two strong elements naturally yielded a satisfying result.
"I'll call you Rouge."
Ji Fengyu gently stroked the head of the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python and retracted the spirit.
With this century-old spirit sharing his Dragon-Snake Transformation and Snake Molting skills, plus its own constricting ability and venom, It was no exaggeration to say that the spirit alone could solo a Level 29 Soul Grand Master without issue!
After finishing the absorption of the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python spirit for his Skin martial soul, Ji Fengyu took out the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's method of Distraction Control and began to read.
In this era, people already had a comprehensive understanding of spiritual power, making techniques like Distraction Control—which tested and trained one's mental fortitude—incredibly precious.
Ten thousand years ago, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had backed the wrong side, leading to their home being raided and their clan exterminated; only a tiny remnant had escaped to the other two continents.
The method of Distraction Control on the Douluo Continent had long been lost.
Its difficulty of acquisition was even greater than that of the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python.
"My mental power is at 108 points, within the Spirit Connection Realm, just enough to bear two-hundred-year soul spirits."
"To stably increase my mental power, I must start with Distraction Control."
After committing the cultivation method of Distraction Control to memory, Ji Fengyu closed his eyes and began to meditate.
The realms of Distraction Control are divided into:
Three-Orifice Control Heart, Four-Orifice Constant Heart, Five-Orifice Dispersion Heart, Six-Orifice Wishful Heart, and Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart.
With his current mental power, the first realm, Three-Orifice Control Heart, was easy to grasp, but advancing further would not be simple until his mental power improved.
Yet, even the Three-Orifice Control Heart provided a considerable boost for Ji Fengyu.
Previously, he relied on the Rainbow Dragon King for sustained, comprehensive coverage; now, he could release three soul skills simultaneously, precisely distributed among three teammates.
"I can only monitor three ordinary teammates, but if they are dragon-attribute teammates, I can precisely monitor five."
"What exactly is the origin of my Rainbow Dragon King martial soul?"
"It's too much of an expert on dragon attributes; its strength is more than a notch above an ordinary Rainbow Dragon!"
Ji Fengyu remembered the setting from the second installment: the Rainbow Dragon was the Queen of the Dragon Clan, and every Rainbow Dragon was destined to be the wife of a Dragon King.
Then what of the king of the Rainbow Dragon clan?
His other half would at least be at the level of the Nine Great Dragon Kings.
Moreover, he dared to say that his Rainbow Dragon King martial soul could absolutely rival the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda; if his teammates were dragon-attribute, it would be far stronger than the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Level 24..."
Having fused with the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python, this level of soul power increase came as naturally as water flowing into a channel.
Ji Fengyu exhaled softly.
He activated a specialized Soul Tool to check the weather in Eastsea City, researching where a rainbow might appear.
His martial soul was the Rainbow Dragon King, and his soul spirit, the Seven-Colored Crown, could absorb the power of rainbows; for him, a rainbow was an excellent mimetic environment.
Ever since he awakened his martial soul, Ji Fengyu had been chasing rainbows.
Unfortunately, the weather in Eastsea City had been very clear lately, providing no conditions for a rainbow to appear.
It seemed he would have to wait for the typhoon in the plot to pass and try his luck then.
Ji Fengyu put down the Soul Tool and focused on meditation.
For the next period, he spent his time in meditative cultivation, practicing Distraction Control.
It was not until the opening ceremony was imminent that Ji Fengyu returned to school.
"Hi, Brother Ji!"
Seeing Xie Xie again, the guy's face was filled with irrepressible frustration and annoyance.
Originally, he and Ji Fengyu were both in Class One.
As a result of fighting Tang Wulin, he had been kicked to Class Five; Xie Xie was practically depressed to death.
"Xie Xie, how have you been lately?"
Seeing Xie Xie's dejected and wilted appearance, Ji Fengyu guessed what had happened, but still asked while suppressing a laugh.
"Don't even mention it!"
"That detestable Tang Wulin, he got me moved from Class One to Class Five!"
"I spent tens of thousands of dollars to find him for a fight, but instead, I got beaten up twice. That kid is weird!"
Xie Xie poured out his grievances.
At this moment, Tang Wulin also arrived at the playground, but hearing Xie Xie talking about him, he stood far away and did not approach.
Tang Wulin was not angry.
After all, he was the victor; he had not only won Xie Xie's money but also dragged Xie Xie from Class One to Class Five, winning both face and substance.
He would let Xie Xie have his say.
But Tang Wulin still felt he deserved to be scolded.
"Detestable city boy, how dare you speak ill of me?"
"You have already invited the path of death!"
