Endless Great Power!

Facing Qian Linfeng's interrogation, Flender remained completely unperturbed, calmly stating:

"I know the age limit was exceeded, and Lin Feng himself knew it too. This was his choice; he said he had a Death Escape soul skill to protect his life, so even if the absorption failed, he wouldn't lose his life."

"What! A Death Escape soul skill!"

"He is merely a Soul Grand Master who hasn't even reached the rank of Soul Elder yet, and he can actually master such a heaven-defying soul skill?"

Qian Linfeng's face was filled with shock.

For the past two years, he had been guarding Lin Feng, and he knew Lin Feng's temperament better than anyone. The boy was never one to be impulsive or reckless; he always planned before acting. If he dared to take such a huge risk, there was a high probability he truly had full confidence in his ability to escape.

Thinking of this, he looked at the blood-covered Lin Feng and calmed down slightly. With trembling hands, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered with lingering fear.

"Scared the life out of me. I almost thought this little ancestor was going to meet his end right under my nose."

"No! This little ancestor is too bold; he's simply acting recklessly. I must report this matter to the Young Mistress."

Half an hour later, Lin Feng's chaotic and weak aura finally stabilized bit by bit, slowly beginning to return to its peak state.

Flender and Qian Linfeng both let out a heavy sigh of relief at the same time, their suspended hearts finally settling completely.

When a soul master absorbs a soul ring, the most dangerous part is the initial stage where massive energy surges through the body and the mind is vulnerable. Since he had cleared this hurdle, there wouldn't be any major problems with the subsequent refining and finishing process.

Qian Linfeng focused his mind to confirm Lin Feng's condition once more.

Although he looked a bit terrifying, he was indeed out of danger. His figure flashed, disappearing silently from where he stood, retreating back into the shadows to continue fulfilling his duty as a guardian.

One hour later, As Lin Feng was in the final stage of refining the soul ring, sharp claws slowly grew from the knuckles on his right palm.

The five claw tips shimmered with a chilling cold light under the sunlight, and the breeze that brushed past them seemed to be sliced in two.

"An External Soul Bone!"

Flender's pupils contracted sharply. Almost subconsciously, he stepped sideways to block the front of Lin Feng, his seven soul rings rising instantly. The soul power of a level 76 Soul Saint surged without reservation, ready to erupt at any moment.

"Damn it, I should have brought Old Zhao along this time, and it just had to happen at a moment like this."

An External Soul Bone that could grow alongside a soul master was a hundred times more precious than an ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Once the news leaked, it would be enough to cause the top powers of the entire soul master world to scramble for it, sparking a bloody storm.

His only hope now was that the person sent by Lin Feng's teacher was loyal enough not to harbor any murderous intent to steal the treasure at this moment.

In the shadows, Qian Linfeng looked at the golden, shimmering External Terrorclaw, his eyes filled only with envy; he dared not harbor a shred of greed.

As a member of the Angel Clan, the faith carved into his bones did not allow him to commit the despicable act of betraying his master to steal a treasure.

Moreover, he knew very well the weight Lin Feng held in the heart of the Young Mistress, Qian Renxue. If this little ancestor suffered even the slightest mishap under his watch, he would have no place to hide in the world, even if he fled to the ends of the earth.

Seeing that there was still no movement or any fluctuation of soul power from the shadows where Qian Linfeng was, Flender's tense heart relaxed slightly, and he muttered to himself.

"To be able to resist even this, it seems the person sent by Lin Feng's teacher is a loyal death-sworn of the clan. This kid really has good luck."

Two hours later, The thousand-year soul ring on Lin Feng's body slowly faded into his body, and he opened his eyes.

The moment he opened them, he was startled by his own terrifying appearance, covered in blood scabs, and he exclaimed.

"Hey! What's going on!"

He looked down at the dried, blackened bloodstains on his body and couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss! I lost so much blood, and I actually didn't die?"

"Yeah! You didn't die despite all that; it really defies the laws of heaven."

Flender rolled his eyes, then straightened his face and scolded him sternly, "You kid can still laugh? This soul ring was something your body couldn't handle at all; you basically forced it into your body. You were just lucky this time, but luck won't be on your side every time."

"It was indeed perilous."

Lin Feng nodded with lingering fear. Recalling the moments when his meridians were on the verge of snapping and his consciousness was fading, he laughed loudly.

"Several times I almost couldn't hold on against that pressure and nearly gave up... but in the end, I won."

Feeling the anomaly coming from his right palm, he looked down and was filled with wild joy.

"This... this is an External Soul Bone, the claws of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."

He gave a light swipe, passing through a piece of hard granite over three meters tall beside him. He felt no resistance at all as the Terrorclaw passed through, and it didn't even make a sound.

By the time he retracted his claw, the granite block slid slowly to the ground along the cut, the surface as smooth as a mirror.

Lin Feng looked at the Terrorclaw shimmering with a cold light between his palms and couldn't help but gasp.

"So sharp. No wonder the legends say it can tear through the dragon scales of a giant dragon."

After playing with the Terrorclaw for a while, he quickly discovered a serious problem.

There was an inexplicable sense of sluggishness and loss of control when manipulating the Terrorclaw. This situation couldn't help but remind him of the semi-controlled state Tang San was in after first absorbing the Eight Spider Lances in the original story.

Fortunately, the problem wasn't major. His Terrorclaw wasn't as difficult to control as the Eight Spider Lances, and this slight influence could almost be ignored.

Flender, standing to the side, finally let his expression relax completely.

Even if Qian Linfeng were to harbor malicious intent now, with Lin Feng's support, the man would never be a match for him.

"Little Lin, what is your spirit power level now?"

Lin Feng focused his senses for a moment and grinned.

"Level 33 peak. Once I go back and stabilize it, I reckon it won't be long before I break through to level 34."

"To jump nearly four levels all at once, saving a whole year of bitter cultivation—truly, fortune favors the bold."

Watching him, seeing not a shred of lingering fear in his eyes but only excitement, Flender felt as if he were looking at his own younger, daring self, and he chuckled.

"Hahaha, youth is a wonderful thing! The young are never afraid of death."

"Little Lin, your third spirit ability should be an attack-type Godly Gear, right?"

At the mention of this, the smile on Lin Feng's face grew even wider.

"That's right, a pure physical attack Godly Gear."

"Dean, let me let you experience the might of the Infinity buff."

His third thousand-year spirit ring lit up as he chanted softly.

"Infinity Edge!"

His Blessing Gold Pouch spirit manifested in his palm, and as the opening widened, it spat out a gilded gold coin. Engraved on its surface was a razor-sharp war blade that seemed to contain supreme power.

Lin Feng flicked it lightly, and the Infinity Gold Coin turned into a streak of light, instantly merging into Flender's body.

"This..."

Flender was shocked, clearly feeling the power within him surge by 120% without any warning, his entire body brimming with strength.

Thinking of the stacking limit of Lin Feng's spirit blessing, did this not mean that he could increase his power by nearly four times at most?

Lin Feng clearly sensed the pressure radiating from Flender grow significantly stronger in an instant.

He smiled and flicked the three remaining Infinity Gold Coins he had been toying with in his palm toward Flender one after another.

"Dean, this is only the first piece, don't be so surprised. Help me test if I can really only attach three pieces of Godly Gear at once."

"Alright..."

Flender forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, but as the three Infinity Gold Coins merged into his body in succession, his power surged and doubled once more without warning.

With three Infinity Edges stacked, his base power had skyrocketed by a full 360%.

Powerful—unprecedentedly powerful!

Even though he tried to feign calmness on his face, his hands, which he could not stop from trembling slightly, had already betrayed the turbulent waves surging within his heart.
