Martial Soul Sublimation, Profound Plans to Defy Heaven and Change Fate

As that warm energy flowed toward the origin of his Martial Soul, a sudden mutation occurred!

The power of light, originally residing within his shadow, seemed to have encountered the most delicious tonic and began to devour that energy frantically.

Ye Feng's Shadow Martial Soul began to fluctuate violently, the shadow itself becoming deeper and more solid, as if it could swallow all light.

And the orb of light within the shadow erupted with an unprecedented, brilliant golden radiance!

That gold was no longer ordinary; it carried a sacred, majestic, and inviolable texture, as if it were the core of the sun itself!

Ye Feng could clearly feel that the light attribute of his Martial Soul had indeed, just as his teacher said, increased by at least twenty percent!

This was truly a divine object!

A long while later, the light retracted, and everything returned to calm.

Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes, a flash of pure gold flickering across his pupils.

"How do you feel?"

Yue Guan asked.

"Better than ever!"

Ye Feng stood up and bowed respectfully to Yue Guan and Gui Mei:

"Many thanks to Teacher and Uncle-Master for bestowing this fortune upon me!"

"Mm."

Gui Mei uttered a single syllable, his figure flickering as he merged back into the shadows and vanished.

Yue Guan waved his hand:

"You are this old man's only disciple; this is all you deserve. Rest well, consolidate what you have gained today, and your teacher and uncle-master will head back now."

"Respectfully sending off Teacher and Uncle-Master!"

Watching Yue Guan leave the small courtyard, Ye Feng finally let out a long breath and returned to his room.

After leaving the small courtyard, Yue Guan and Gui Mei walked side by side along the silent streets of Martial Soul City.

"Chrysanthemum Guan, do you really intend to keep Xiao Feng hidden like this?"

Gui Mei's hoarse voice rang out in the night.

Yue Guan paused his steps, looked up at the high-hanging moon, and let out an almost imperceptible sigh.

"Sigh! Old Ghost, you and I have lost our freedom; do you want Xiao Feng to lose his as well?"

His voice carried a hint of irrepressible loneliness and helplessness.

"Besides, with Xiao Feng's talent, even if he absorbed a thousand-year second ring, he would not gain the attention of His Holiness the Pope."

"Innate level seven—in her eyes, it is ultimately not worth mentioning. At most... he would just be used as a tool for Nana and Xie Yue to study!"

At the mention of "her," Yue Guan's lazy demeanor receded slightly.

Gui Mei's figure fluctuated slightly within the shadows.

"Mm!"

The single word represented his complete agreement.

Gui Mei knew the style of that Pope better than anyone.

"As for the future, we shall take it one step at a time!"

Yue Guan returned to his lazy appearance, as if the heaviness from just a moment ago had been an illusion.

Inside the room, Ye Feng lay on the soft bed, feeling the changes in his Martial Soul while his mind raced with calculations.

The kindness Teacher and Uncle-Master Gui Mei showed him was sincere.

That heavy debt of gratitude had to be repaid!

And the best way to repay them was to change their originally tragic fates!

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

This was the only way to break the deadlock!

But how could he take them there?

Trying to seize it directly was unrealistic; even a rabbit bites when cornered, let alone that Old Poison, Dugu Bo.

If he were pushed too far and decided to burn everything down, destroying all the immortal herbs, Ye Feng would have nowhere to cry.

Talk to Dugu Bo directly?

Ye Feng shook his head; the thought was rejected as soon as it emerged.

That might be difficult! I don't know how to detoxify, and I doubt Teacher could manage it either!

Dugu Bo is suspicious by nature and a recluse; why would he trust a strange kid over his sworn enemy? And why would he share his lifeblood with anyone else?

It seems I can only plan this one step at a time!

First, and most importantly, is to raise the strength of Teacher and Uncle-Master Gui Mei!

As long as both of them reach level 96 or 97, and then unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Polar Static Domain, tsk tsk, the power would be unimaginable!

Even when facing a level 99 Peerless Douluo, they might not be without the strength to fight!

But then another problem arises.

Immortal herbs might not necessarily allow them to break through quickly; at the level of a Title Douluo, every single level is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

They need Soul Bones! And enlightenment! Of course, for the King of Cheats, what need is there for enlightenment? Directly using God Trials to raise levels is no different from eating or drinking!

Adding a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone! That simply doesn't exist for normal people!

But for normal people, it's a different story.

If they can't reach enlightenment, then they must force a breakthrough with high-age Soul Bones!

Furthermore, at the level of a Title Douluo, Soul Bones under fifty thousand years are completely useless.

Unless... it is the kind of Soul Bone that perfectly matches one's own attributes, produced by chance while hunting a Soul Beast to absorb a Soul Ring.

But such things are rare and hard to come by.

Wait!

Rare and hard to come by?

A flash of lightning suddenly streaked through Ye Feng's mind!

He suddenly remembered a type of Soul Beast, a unique and once-in-a-millennium freak of a Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent!

It is powerful, highly intelligent, and most importantly, the probability of it dropping an inner core after death is... one hundred percent!

Hm? Got it, isn't the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger exactly that...

This dark attribute is a perfect match for Ghost Douluo; after eating the immortal herb and adding this thing, even if he can't reach enlightenment, he can force a breakthrough!

As for Teacher! There is also a White-Eyed Demon Tiger King in the Sunset Forest, and it's seventy thousand years old! It seems to have a left or right Soul Bone! That would be a perfect match for Teacher!

As for how to inform Teacher and Uncle-Master Gui Mei about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King in a reasonable and logical way?

This thought swirled in Ye Feng's mind like an inextricable tangle of hemp.

Just say it directly?

"Teacher, I know there is a once-in-a-millennium Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. It has a one hundred percent drop rate for an inner core upon death, and it perfectly matches Uncle-Master Gui Mei's attributes. Let's go kill it!"

"And there's a seventy-thousand-year-old White-Eyed Demon Tiger King in the Sunset Forest carrying a top-tier Soul Bone that is practically tailor-made for you!"

Ye Feng could almost imagine Yue Guan and Gui Mei's reactions at that moment.

The two of them would certainly not be overjoyed; they would only dissect him from head to toe with a gaze that treated him like a monster.

How could a teenager, far away in Martial Soul City, know everything about specific Soul Beasts in two forbidden lands thousands of miles away? How could he even be so clear about secrets like Soul Bones and inner cores?

This is no longer a category that can be explained by talent.

Either there is a terrifying existence behind him that even a Title Douluo cannot reach.

Or, he himself is not human.

Regardless of which guess they make, it would plant an unremovable thorn between them.

Trust would collapse in an instant. Everything he currently possesses, the bond between master and disciple, would all vanish like bubbles.

Moreover, the perversity of the domain belonging to a vicious creature like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is the greatest on the continent.

Even if Tang Hao in his prime encountered it alone, he would only end up regretting it on the spot. Don't look at how arrogant Tang Hao is; if he were reduced to the appearance of a six-year-old! His only end would be death! Not everyone is Tang San who understands hidden weapons and the footwork of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!
