"I'm telling you, this was originally a ten-year spirit ring, and after devouring your evil fire, it broke through to ten thousand years. Would you believe me?"

"I, I don't know. Let's not dwell on it for now. We should head back to Shrek first. Teacher might know more."

"Sister Xiaotao, you go back first. I've decided to return to the village to pay respects to my parents. I haven't been back to see them in a long time and want to say a proper goodbye."

"Okay, but you must be extremely careful. Here's a map and a token. Keep them safe."

After a brief exchange, Ma Xiaotao left first. Lin Feng decided to explore the outer edges of the Star Dou Great Forest for a while longer. He wanted to test if devouring beast fire with the Burning Art would affect his evil fire spirit ring.

Even the trashy Tang Sect techniques could display great power. The Burning Art, in a low-level plane like the Douluo Continent, could only be stronger, not weaker, destined to be an extraordinary existence.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Lin Feng quickened his pace in his search.

An ice-attribute aura?!

And such a majestic life force, not inferior to Scarlet King. It's definitely a fierce beast...

Could I be this unlucky? But among the major fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, there isn't one with an ice attribute...

Lin Feng's nerves tensed to the extreme, cold sweat streaming down his forehead. He retreated stealthily.

"Fire attribute? How unlucky can I get! Mental attributes are still too rare. It's a pity I can't cry, or I'd be in tears! Time is tight and the mission is heavy, so I'll just make do."

Lin Feng was startled by the unfamiliar voice in his mind. He stopped in his tracks, held his breath, and cautiously scanned his surroundings.

Suddenly, the ground trembled violently, and a bottomless fissure appeared, from which a faint golden-white light shone.

It seems my life is ending here today. Sister Xiaotao, how I regret not leaving with you...

Lin Feng's heart leaped into his throat. The extreme cold aura that rushed towards him made his weak legs tremble.

Soon, the ice-attribute fierce beast revealed its true form.

It was actually a super silkworm, seven to eight meters long, its entire body like white jade, entwined with ten golden patterns.

"Transmigrator? Interesting. I've changed my mind."

The silkworm, speaking human language, perceived some of Lin Feng's memories and then launched a terrifying mental attack.

Lin Feng's head felt like it was splitting, blood flowed from his eyes, and he involuntarily knelt on the ground.

"Your physical body and mental strength are both powerful. I'm quite fond of this body. Give up resisting. It will be less painful, and you should consider it an honor to be possessed by me, a million-year spirit beast."

"A million years... a worm?"

"You're bragging!"

"Why don't you go fight Di Tian!"

Lin Feng questioned him three times in a row.

"You're still quick-tongued even when facing death."

I don't want to die!

First Spirit Skill, Fire Phoenix Lotus!

Veins bulged on Lin Feng's forehead, a black spirit ring appeared on his body, and then a fire lotus, black with a hint of red, slowly flew out from his brow.

"You..."

"Have, you, ever, heard, of, spirit, ring, detonation!"

Lin Feng, having recovered slightly, said word by word with great effort.

"Heh heh, the Clear Sky Sect is long gone. Are you trying to scare your Uncle Tian Meng?"

Lin Feng didn't explain, because he wasn't using the Clear Sky Sect's spirit ring detonation secret technique. He had comprehended it from the Burning Art on the way and hadn't had a chance to test it yet.

Now, it was a desperate measure.

"No..."

As the spirit ring detonated, the silkworm instinctively sensed mortal danger.

"Die!"

As the smoke cleared, the silkworm's abdomen was pierced, but its aura remained strong.

As expected, in front of a fierce beast, his spirit power was too low. A fatal blow was wishful thinking. Previously, heavily injuring Scarlet King was entirely due to unexpected rebound damage.

However, a level twenty spirit master injuring a million-year spirit beast was enough to show the terror of the spirit ring detonation secret technique.

This detonation could triple the power of a spirit skill, but it would overdraft one's origin power and instantly deplete spirit power. It was a classic life-risking skill.

"You have successfully angered me! Die!"

Just as the silkworm was about to counterattack, it suddenly felt weak. The wound on its abdomen was igniting with a faint blue flame...

"No, what exactly did you do to me?"

Amidst the silkworm's desperate questioning, its life force rapidly drained until its spirit dissipated, and it died completely.

It turned out that Lin Feng had discovered the nameless faint blue flame sealed within the silkworm long ago, which was why he risked his life to detonate his spirit ring, creating an opportunity to ignite the flame.

A white spirit ring?

Shouldn't it be a red spirit ring? Or perhaps a golden spirit ring.

So much for a million-year-old fierce beast.

Looking at the white spirit ring generated after the silkworm died, Lin Feng couldn't quite make sense of it for a moment.

"That's not right, there are gold patterns; it's not a ten-year spirit ring. It's a rare dual-attribute spirit beast of spirit and ice—I've struck gold! Although its attributes clash with the Fire Lotus, with the foundation of the Water Lotus, it shouldn't be a major issue."

Realizing the extraordinary nature of this silkworm, Lin Feng immediately sat cross-legged to recover his spirit power, striving to absorb it as his second spirit ring as quickly as possible.

"Such terrifying flames, like maggots on rotting bones, striking straight into the depths of the soul. I shall devour you first; that will make it easier to suppress this million-year spirit ring."

Watching the deep blue flames begin to burn onto the spirit ring with increasing intensity, Lin Feng, now recovered, immediately circulated the Burning Art to consume the fire.

After devouring the deep blue flames, Lin Feng began to absorb the spirit ring.

The Far North, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm...

Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow, million-year cultivation...

A chaotic battle, Di Tian...

During the absorption process, the residual memories of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were read by Lin Feng.

It turned out that these deep blue flames were known as the Mystic Ice Spirit Flame, formed within the caves of the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow. After the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm accidentally ingested them, it couldn't digest them and was forced to seal them away.

Hoo—

"Thanks to the Mystic Ice Spirit Flame suppressing this Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the terrifying soul shock didn't occur."

Without any danger, Lin Feng succeeded in his absorption. His level—his level had risen to thirty?!

"A lazy, gluttonous thing. You sought your own path to death."

After cursing, Lin Feng stood up and flew rapidly away from this place of trouble.

Fierce beasts generally did not easily leave the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest. The Scarlet King, who had appeared earlier, was clearly chasing the fleeing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, only to coincidentally run into Ma Xiaotao, who was out for training.

On the road, Lin Feng recalled and reviewed the events; everything that had happened linked together logically.

A million-year spirit ring—the last one like this belonged to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King of Tang San.

However, the spirit bone of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to have been incinerated. What a pity.

Spirit rings, appear!

Two spirit rings, one black and one white, emerged. If Ma Xiaotao were to see this, she would likely be frightened on the spot by the "ten-year spirit ring"—it was pure nonsense.

The black spirit ring was covered in cracks, clearly caused by the ring detonation just now. It seemed this spirit skill could not be used in the short term.

"Second spirit skill, Mystic Ice Spirit Lotus, derived from the Mystic Ice Spirit Flame. No, that's not right—there are two spirit skills. The other is Simulation, derived from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's super mimicry ability."

Someone ahead!

Lin Feng, who had just prepared to release his spirit skill, stopped immediately. By now, he had run over a dozen miles, far from the site of the incident.

Having obtained the spirit ring of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, his vitality was nearly infinite, and his spiritual power had been greatly enhanced. He could use his massive vitality as a carrier to achieve spiritual detection within a certain range.

"Sister Xiao Ya, what is the name of your sect?"

"Tang Sect. Once the number one sect on the Douluo Continent."

"Little Yuhao, have you heard of the Tang Sect?"

The voices of two youths and a young girl drifted over from afar, and Lin Feng heard every word.

"Who is there?"

The youth named Beibei shouted.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm one of your own. I am also a student of Shrek."
