Ma Xiunuo did not know why, but hearing Yun Feng say that made him feel it was rather improper. Yet he had no proof.
Still, as the master of a branch hall, he quickly regained his composure.
His gaze at Yun Feng was filled with burning enthusiasm.
"Quick, quick, test the power of this soul skill of yours."
Yun Feng nodded. He also wanted to see the effect of replacing the Purple Blood Vine soul skill with one from the Sea Porcupinefish.
The Pufferfish was actually the martial soul of a Title Douluo from Spirit Hall, while the traits of this soul beast were poison and expansion.
Yun Feng had not taken its poison. What he had valued was its ability to expand.
Magnifying and expanding Blue Silver Grass to overwhelm others through sheer force would definitely be quite effective!
Ever since receiving the reward Tang San had triggered last time, Yun Feng had been pondering hard.
As someone who loved browsing online, he had actually considered many different builds.
After all, the power system of Douluo Continent seemed like a game to Yun Feng.
And in a game, naturally, one had to build a skill set and focus on skill combinations.
Bleed builds, kiting builds, torment builds, burst builds.
Who knew how many kinds there were? In any case, with the reward of Soul Ring modification, he could achieve all of them.
He had even considered an infection build, treating Blue Silver Grass as a pathogen and spreading it continuously.
But he ultimately abandoned that idea.
There were still things he cared about, so he did not want to do something so utterly deranged.
After much consideration, Yun Feng settled on his future path.
Prove the Dao through strength, crush everything with sheer size.
He wanted his Blue Silver Grass to grow until it could cover the entire world!
With that thought, Yun Feng immediately summoned his Blue Silver Grass. More than ten enormous vines lashed out toward the ancient trees in the distance.
Empowered by the momentum of those massive vines, a single strike made the ancient trees vanish from where they stood, leaving more than ten broad cracks across the ground.
A tremendous roar resounded throughout the forest.
"Boom—"
Ma Xiunuo tugged at the corner of his mouth when he saw this, completely at a loss for words.
Was this really power that Blue Silver Grass could produce?
That blow could probably beat the shit out of a Soul Grandmaster!
It was simply too terrifying!
There was no technique involved, only overwhelming force!
After withdrawing his martial soul, Yun Feng sensed the Soul Power consumed within him. It had actually reached nearly a tenth of his reserves. He frowned slightly. The power was great, but the Soul Power consumption was also severe!
"Ahem."
Just as Yun Feng was considering this issue, he suddenly heard Ma Xiunuo cough and instinctively looked over.
"Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, what's wrong? Were you injured just now?"
Ma Xiunuo shook his head and became serious, as though he were about to say something important. It made Yun Feng unconsciously straighten his back as well.
As Yun Feng waited, Ma Xiunuo grabbed his shoulder and said earnestly:
"Xiao Feng, I need to tell you something!"
Yun Feng nodded and asked, "What is it?"
"Have you named your soul skill yet?!"
Yun Feng nearly failed to keep it together when he heard that. What the hell was this?
But in the next moment, Ma Xiunuo offered an explanation. After letting out an embarrassed chuckle, he slowly said:
"Your theory succeeded, after all. Though the process was rather tortuous, it is still something that will become famous across the continent. Everything about you will surely be recorded in the future, so..."
How could Yun Feng not understand what Ma Xiunuo meant by then? He smiled and said:
"Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, I'm not good at naming things. Why don't I trouble you to come up with a name for my first soul skill?"
Sure enough, as soon as Yun Feng finished speaking, Ma Xiunuo became excited.
Though it was only a simple naming right, for an old man, it was a way to leave his name behind on this continent!
Who would not want to be remembered in history?
Especially in this era, he lacked the strength to leave his mark in the history books. So having even a small entry elsewhere would be good enough!
"Alright, alright! I will definitely give Xiao Feng the coolest and most stylish soul skill name!"
Yun Feng twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing that, not knowing what to say.
Though he currently looked like a child, that did not mean he was truly a child!
Still, if someone handed him a belt right now, Yun Feng might instinctively perform a little combo and shout, "Transform!"
He complained, but his body was honest—such was Yun Feng.
Yun Feng actually cared quite a bit about the name Ma Xiunuo would choose. He wanted to see what name he could give this soul skill that had yet to be displayed.
Under Yun Feng's expectant gaze, Ma Xiunuo pondered for a while before excitedly saying to him:
"Xiao Feng, your first soul skill shall be called this!"
"Your soul skill is big and long, so let's call it Giant Root Lash!"
Yun Feng's face filled with question marks. Why did that sound so strange? Something felt off, but seeing Ma Xiunuo's wrinkled face full of smiles, he could only force himself to agree.
It was strange, but it fit rather well, did it not?
So be it. Yun Feng could not be bothered to think about it anymore.
There was no point, and whenever he thought about how these soul skills were all named by people themselves, he wanted to laugh.
In any case, he would never shout the name when using the soul skill. That would be far too embarrassing!
"Alright! Thank you, Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo!"
After Yun Feng thanked him, Ma Xiunuo felt somewhat pleased with himself and said a few more words.
"Xiao Feng, what are your plans from here on?"
Yun Feng looked into Ma Xiunuo's eyes. He knew that was probably not what he was really asking, but he still pretended not to understand and said:
"Nothing much. I'll continue cultivating at the academy, and while I'm at it, see if I can study this martial soul further and find some books. I don't want to stop here!"
Overall, Ma Xiunuo was rather satisfied with Yun Feng's answer.
But after learning that Yun Feng had no other plans, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He truly liked this child.
Though Spirit Hall appeared to many people as an organization of justice,
as a member of Spirit Hall, how could Ma Xiunuo not know that there was filth behind the scenes? Or perhaps it could not be called filth. It was merely something every major power possessed.
That was, it was best to eliminate any threat that did not belong to them in advance.
But Yun Feng was now a member of Spirit Hall. Though he had no intention of going to Spirit Hall, at least he had not left, had he?
Yun Feng had also begun to sense some of this world's rules.
Without a faction, one truly could not get anywhere. And even beyond that, he did not have a single backer.
That was what made things most uncomfortable. In the original story, Tang San encountered benefactors wherever he went, with a whole group of people behind him to protect and support him.
But Yun Feng had nothing. He could only be careful, then even more careful!
That was why he had not answered Ma Xiunuo's question directly.
