The narration was light and casual, but to Yue Guan, it sounded no less than a thunderclap.

Venturing into the Star Dou Great Forest alone for a first soul ring?

And encountering a beast stampede?

Yet, he had somehow managed to successfully hunt a soul ring and survive?

Yue Guan's heart hammered against his ribs, and the way he looked at Ye Feng changed completely.

This kid's courage and luck were simply heaven-defying!

Even the three little ones from the Golden Generation of Martial Soul Hall, hailed as once-in-a-century geniuses, were guarded by several Soul Emperor powerhouses and carefully selected their rings in the outer perimeter of the Soul Hunting Forest when obtaining their first.

The disciple before him... was simply a madman who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

"Xiao Feng, you've suffered."

Yue Guan's voice softened involuntarily, tinged with a hint of heartache.

"From now on, with this teacher here, you can leave all matters regarding soul rings to me!"

Now that is what you call a teacher!

Look at Chrysanthemum Douluo! Then think back to that Gangzi who only knew how to draw empty cakes and was useless when it mattered most!

Yu Xiaogang had taken Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest, and they had nearly capsized while hunting a mere hundred-year soul beast. If not for Tang San's martial arts foundation from his past life, the master and disciple would likely have both perished there.

Furthermore, aside from providing some long-outdated theories, what substantive help had Yu Xiaogang offered on Tang San's path of cultivation?

Absolutely nothing!

"Alright! Then this disciple will have to trouble you from now on, Teacher!"

Ye Feng felt moved, a look of admiration and affection appearing on his face.

"By the way, Teacher, my second soul skill is called 'Condensed Light Soul Healing'."

"It is a zero-cost soul skill. Upon activation, a beam of light descends to empower me, instantly restoring twenty-five percent of my soul power, healing twenty-five percent of my injuries, and purging twenty-five percent of the negative effects inflicted by enemy soul skills. However, this skill can only be used once per day."

"Hiss..."

After hearing this, Yue Guan couldn't help but gasp.

Instant soul power restoration, injury healing, and negative effect purging!

To have all three effects combined into one, and a zero-cost activation at that!

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Feng, this soul skill of yours is a true divine skill! It will absolutely be your greatest trump card for survival in the future! Even when you reach the realm of a Title Douluo, it will still be of immense use!"

Yue Guan said with envy.

The rarity of such recovery-type soul skills even surpassed some top-tier offensive soul skills!

"Hehe, that's only because I have you, Teacher!"

Ye Feng scratched his head and gave an honest, simple smile.

"If it weren't for you, Teacher, how would this disciple have had the chance to find such a good soul skill? I had already planned to give up."

"As you often say, life and death are fated, and wealth is determined by heaven."

Yue Guan sighed with emotion.

"Your future is destined to make you a true powerhouse!"

"Perhaps... you will even surpass this teacher and reach that realm!"

As he spoke, a look of longing and yearning appeared on Yue Guan's face, and his posture became somewhat... effeminate.

Ye Feng instantly broke out in goosebumps.

This teacher... the way he acted like a woman was simply too much to look at!

He quickly changed the subject:

"Teacher, are you heading back to Martial Soul Hall now?"

"Yes, that is correct."

Yue Guan nodded, then his tone shifted.

"However, Xiao Feng, you seem unwilling to join Martial Soul Hall. But you must understand, as I am an elder of Martial Soul Hall and you are my disciple, the label of Martial Soul Hall will inevitably fall upon you. That is something that cannot be changed."

Ye Feng nodded; he had long been prepared for this.

"Teacher, this disciple understands. Returning to Martial Soul City with you is fine, but... could you refrain from revealing this disciple's identity to others in Martial Soul Hall for now?"

Meeting Yue Guan's inquisitive gaze, he spoke frankly:

"The path this disciple must walk, you know it well, Teacher. The honor and constraints of Martial Soul Hall would only become shackles on my path forward. I wish to remain free until I truly possess the power to protect myself."

Yue Guan fell silent.

Looking at the young man before him, he seemed to see himself from many years ago.

Back then, didn't he also wish to be a free and unfettered soul master?

But back then, did he have a choice?

There was no choice at all.

Since he now had a successor, one whose character and perseverance far surpassed his own, he naturally didn't want the other to walk the same old path.

"Good."

Yue Guan finally nodded:

"Xiao Feng, your teacher will arrange a secluded residence for you in Martial Soul City. You can cultivate diligently there, and I will visit from time to time to guide you."

"Thank you, Teacher, for your understanding!"

Ye Feng was truly moved this time.

Yue Guan was a true man, no doubt!

From now on, if anyone dared to mock his teacher as effeminate in front of him, once he grew strong, he would be the first to twist their head off!

"I saw your previous battle with that Ghost Tiger."

Yue Guan took out a yellowed booklet from his Soul Tool and handed it to Ye Feng.

"You are on the path of the Assault System, and so am I.

This booklet contains my cultivation insights and some combat techniques accumulated over the years. It should be of great help to you. Take it back and study it well."

Ye Feng accepted it with both hands.

The booklet felt warm and light in his hands, but in his heart, it weighed more than ten thousand pounds.

This was far more precious than any Soul Bone or Gold Soul Coin!

This was the cultivation insight of a Title Douluo!

With just this insight, countless veteran Soul Douluos stuck at level eighty-nine of the Assault System would go mad with envy!

"Thank you, Teacher!"

"Let's go."

Yue Guan nodded with satisfaction, waved his large hand, and a gentle soul power lifted Ye Feng. The two transformed into a golden light and instantly vanished from their spot.

A moment later, they had already left Sunset Forest.

Yue Guan casually rented a spacious carriage and slowly drove towards Martial Soul City.

Half a month later, the carriage slowly entered a city so magnificent it was suffocating.

Martial Soul City.

In the carriage, Yue Guan carefully reiterated the key points of cultivation, especially regarding soul power control and the development of combat awareness. Afterward, he returned to Martial Soul Hall alone.

Upon returning to the solemn and majestic Elder Hall of Martial Soul Hall, he did not announce his arrival but entered the archives alone.

He browsed through Xiao Feng's information and quickly found the file from Nuoding City.

"Ye Feng, Martial Soul: Light and Shadow (Mutated Body Martial Soul), Innate Soul Power: Level seven."

Yue Guan's slender fingers gently brushed across the paper, and he let out a long sigh.

If his Innate Soul Power were just one level higher, even just level eight, with my lifelong teachings and meticulous guidance, coupled with Xiao Feng's reckless determination and extraordinary perseverance, reaching Title Douluo in the future would almost be a certainty!

Alas, level seven Innate Soul Power, this talent is ultimately limited.

Without a heaven-shattering fortuitous encounter, even if I poured all my resources into cultivating him, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to break through the heavenly chasm of Title Douluo in the future.

No!
