First Kill

Feng Tianyu was thrilled. A thousand-year soul beast like the Gale Two-Headed Wolf, capable of challenging ten-thousand-year soul beasts, would undoubtedly make an excellent first Soul Ring for Grey Wolf's martial soul if its cultivation age was suitable.

With an affinity infinitely close to Ultimate Wind, the Gale Two-Headed Wolf's Soul Ring would surely greatly enhance Grey Wolf's control over the wind element.

Under Mu En's lead, Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf followed closely behind. Before long, they arrived at an open clearing eight hundred meters away.

They immediately saw a pack of Gale Demon Wolves, some standing and some lying down, leisurely basking in the sun as though they had just eaten their fill.

There were around fifteen or sixteen Gale Demon Wolves in the pack. Most had gray fur and were no more than two meters long. Only the one surrounded by the other wolves exceeded three meters in length, its entire body covered in cyan fur, with two vicious, terrifying heads.

Gale Two-Headed Wolf!

Mu En withdrew his spiritual power, and the keen-nosed Gale Demon Wolves finally noticed Mu En, Feng Tianyu, and Grey Wolf standing right nearby.

The Gale Two-Headed Wolf, whose eyes had been half-closed, instantly had all its fur bristle. Its muscles tensed, and both heads let out low growls.

The Gale Two-Headed Wolf was intelligent. It was shocked to discover that someone had silently crept right beneath its nose without alerting it.

That was undoubtedly a terrifying existence!

Even though Mu En did not emit the slightest powerful aura, the Gale Two-Headed Wolf felt a chill run down its spine.

It was like a person lying in bed scrolling through lewd pictures and getting ready to take off, only for a ghostly face to suddenly pop out of one of them—enough to scare anyone limp.

"Awooo!!!"

The Gale Two-Headed Wolf let out furious howls, and the surrounding Gale Demon Wolves swiftly entered combat formation. Under its command, they formed a simple wedge-shaped formation.

Faint cyan light burst from their bodies and gathered together, condensing into a massive wolf head in midair. A raging gale howled, tearing through the air with explosive booms and bringing immense pressure upon Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf.

The Gale Two-Headed Wolf's intelligence truly could not be underestimated. It had actually relied on its many kin to produce an effect similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Even ordinary Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors would likely fare poorly against a pack of Gale Demon Wolves led by the Gale Two-Headed Wolf. One careless mistake, and they would become food for the wolves.

Unfortunately for them, the one they faced today was one of the continent's strongest experts: Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo, who possessed the strength of a rank 99 Limit Douluo.

Mu En still wore that kind and benevolent expression as the cyan wolf-head phantom, controlled by the Gale Two-Headed Wolf, suddenly pounced toward him.

A fierce gale swept outward like countless sharp blades, shredding the surrounding flowers, grass, trees, and leaves to pieces. Even the ground was plowed with long, narrow grooves.

Faced with such an attack, Mu En merely shifted his thoughts. An invincible force erupted forth and tore the wolf-head phantom apart in an instant.

As whimpers rang out, the dozen or so Gale Demon Wolves in battle formation were all crushed to the ground. Their bones and tendons shattered, blood and mangled flesh splattering everywhere as they died cleanly and swiftly.

Yellow Soul Rings then condensed from their bodies. These Gale Demon Wolves were all hundred-year soul beasts.

The Gale Two-Headed Wolf, the wolf king, was likewise crushed to the ground, its bones and tendons broken and blood flowing freely. However, because Mu En had deliberately held back, both of the Gale Two-Headed Wolf's heads were still breathing.

Huff! Huff!!

The Gale Two-Headed Wolf bared its fangs in agony. The severe injuries covering its body made it feel its life force gradually draining away.

It would not be long before its life came to an end.

"Whimper..."

The Gale Two-Headed Wolf gave a pained whine, its voice low, as though it were trying to please them—or perhaps begging for mercy.

Mu En carefully examined the Gale Two-Headed Wolf. Judging by the density of its fur and the sharpness of its claws and fangs, this Gale Two-Headed Wolf had roughly five hundred years of cultivation.

Mu En's expression darkened slightly, and his eyes narrowed.

"Tianyu, this is troublesome. This Gale Two-Headed Wolf has five hundred years of cultivation, already exceeding the four-hundred-and-twenty-three-year limit that ordinary soul masters can absorb."

"What a pity. We finally found a soul beast with an attribute suited to you, but its cultivation age is not right. It seems we can only look elsewhere."

Feng Tianyu pursed his lips, furrowed his brow, and clenched his fists, looking deeply unwilling.

He truly could not bear to give up this first Soul Ring that was nearly within his grasp.

His thoughts raced as he sorted through his advantages one by one, hoping to find the confidence to absorb a five-hundred-year first Soul Ring.

Feng Tianyu stared at the Gale Two-Headed Wolf without blinking, his tone resolute and voice low.

"Elder Mu, I want to try!"

"I have Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls. My second martial soul is even a Body Martial Soul. Even without using it, my body is tougher than that of ordinary soul masters!"

"I think I can absorb this five-hundred-year Gale Two-Headed Wolf Soul Ring. No matter what, I want to give it a try!"

Mu En did not wish to see Feng Tianyu take such a risk. Yet when he saw Feng Tianyu's determined face, he still extended a hand and placed it on Feng Tianyu's shoulder. A wisp of immensely powerful Soul Power carrying a sacred, radiant aura entered Feng Tianyu's body, made a circuit within him, and was then withdrawn by Mu En.

Mu En's expression relaxed somewhat, and he even revealed a smile of admiration.

"That is indeed true! It seems that your Body Martial Soul has made your body sturdier than that of ordinary soul masters. With your physical strength, you truly can attempt to absorb a five-hundred-year Soul Ring."

"However, this Gale Two-Headed Wolf is no ordinary five-hundred-year soul beast. With its affinity infinitely close to Ultimate Wind, it would have no trouble challenging a five-thousand-year soul beast."

"There is still a certain degree of risk in absorbing its Soul Ring. I will ask you one more time: are you sure you want to absorb this Gale Two-Headed Wolf's Soul Ring?"

"Even if you do not absorb this Soul Ring, I will find you another one with suitable cultivation age and attributes!"

Feng Tianyu smiled faintly, his gaze upon the Gale Two-Headed Wolf filled with determination.

"This is the one. The Gale Two-Headed Wolf was the martial soul of my ancestor, Feng Xiaotian. I believe no other soul beast could be more suitable for me than this one."

Mu En hesitated briefly before finally nodding in agreement.

"Very well, then give it a try. With me here, even if something goes wrong, I can ensure your life is not in danger. Even if your meridians and dantian are injured, Shrek Academy has methods to treat you."

"Go kill it. Under my suppression, the Gale Two-Headed Wolf will not be able to resist in the slightest."

Feng Tianyu touched the wolf-head Storage Soul Tool on his finger and pulled a dagger from within. Taking a deep breath, his gaze gradually became firm as he walked toward the Gale Two-Headed Wolf, whose bones were broken and whose blood continued to flow.

Feng Tianyu acted decisively. He drove the dagger through one of the Gale Two-Headed Wolf's eyes, then twisted it hard, turning one of its brains into pulp.

Then, using the same method, Feng Tianyu turned the Gale Two-Headed Wolf's other brain into pulp as well.

"Huff... huff..."

The stench of blood continuously flooded his nostrils. Feng Tianyu felt somewhat nauseated, and the urge to vomit churned in his chest, but he forcibly suppressed it.

After the Gale Two-Headed Wolf completely stopped breathing, powerful energy burst from its body. Because of its affinity infinitely close to Ultimate Wind, gusts of violent wind rose around its corpse, forcing Feng Tianyu to stagger backward again and again.

Only after quite some time did the fierce winds subside. At the same time, as powerful energy surged over the Gale Two-Headed Wolf's corpse, a yellow Soul Ring condensed above it.

Compared with the yellow Soul Rings of the other Gale Demon Wolves, this yellow Soul Ring was denser, darker in color, and far more oppressive.

Joy filled Feng Tianyu's eyes. The nausea and urge to vomit vanished completely the moment he saw this Soul Ring.

"Grey Wolf, come here!"

"Let's absorb the Soul Ring together!"

"If we circulate our meditation methods at the same time, we can greatly increase the chances of successfully absorbing the Soul Ring!"

This was Feng Tianyu's second trump card. Besides his sturdy body, he could have Grey Wolf circulate its meditation method and share the pressure of absorbing the Soul Ring with him.

When he and Grey Wolf cultivated together, their cultivation speed could double. Then the pressure of absorbing the Soul Ring could surely be split in half as well.
