"Aaaah..."
Grey Wolf shrieked in agony, and Feng Tianyu was faring no better. The surging energy of the spirit ring rampaged through his body, tearing at his internal organs with excruciating pain.
Though his life was not in immediate danger, the process of absorbing a spirit ring was nothing short of torture.
An 8,000-year spirit ring was not easily absorbed.
Feng Tianyu's body could withstand a 7,000-year ring at most; that he could endure an extra 1,000 years was entirely thanks to Grey Wolf sharing the burden.
The surging energy had bloated Grey Wolf like a balloon. Although Grey Wolf, as a pure energy entity, could achieve 100% fusion with the spirit beast essence within the ring's energy, the sheer volume was overwhelming. To return to its original form, it had to compress that energy further.
Gritting its teeth, Grey Wolf's face twisted into a knot. Relying on its indomitable willpower, it began to compress the energy within.
How strong was its willpower?
Just look at its spirit: having failed to catch the little sheep thousands of times, yet still fighting, losing, and fighting again—that same spirit now forcibly drove the wind-attribute energy within to compress!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gales howled inside its body. Chaotic, disorderly, and violent—under the drive of Grey Wolf's iron will, the previously unconstrained wind energy was successfully nudged, a small portion beginning to spin violently in one direction.
Once momentum formed, it was like a high-speed train; any obstacle in its path was mercilessly swept away.
At the start, Grey Wolf had only nudged 10% of the wind energy, but gradually, using that 10% as a lever, it slowly moved more and more.
30%!
50%!
Until... 100%!
In that instant, deep within Grey Wolf's body, all the chaotic, disorderly, and violent wind energy revolved around a single axis, compressing into a cyan cyclone.
And outside!
Qian Duoduo, who had been vigilantly guarding against sneak attacks from spirit beasts, suddenly looked at Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf with a stunned expression.
A cyan wind vortex rose high around the pair, the airflow churning with such powerful tearing force that the very void seemed to distort.
Everything nearby—grass, soil, gravel—was shredded into fine powder by the cyan cyclone!
Qian Duoduo's eyes were vacant, his expression one of shock, his body trembling slightly:
"Ultimate Wind!"
"This is Ultimate Wind!"
"Tianyu, Grey Wolf, how did they do it? Even Elder Song, who has reached the level of a Title Douluo, cannot make her Azure Shadow Divine Eagle reach the level of Ultimate Wind!"
"And Tianyu and Grey Wolf, having only absorbed three spirit rings, have compressed and mutated their power into Ultimate Wind!"
"A miracle! Shrek Academy has produced another wielder of Ultimate Wind!"
"Those who possessed Ultimate Wind, Ultimate Fire, or Ultimate Wood in Shrek Academy's history were all top-tier powerhouses who shook the world in their time!"
"Tianyu will become such a powerhouse in the future, and a top-tier Soul Engineer as well. A top-tier Soul Engineer combined with a top-tier Soul Master—no one will be able to shake Tianyu's position for the next hundred years!"
Excitement flashed in Qian Duoduo's eyes. He felt incredibly fortunate that Feng Tianyu had joined the Soul Guidance Department.
As long as Feng Tianyu was there, the Soul Guidance Department surpassing the Martial Soul Department was only a matter of time.
Meanwhile, beneath Feng Tianyu, where only one yellow and one purple spirit ring had been pulsing, a third deep-purple ring condensed from nothingness, shimmering in harmony with the other two.
The absorption process for Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf was now complete.
Feng Tianyu slowly opened his eyes, a look of pleasant surprise in them.
As he had expected, after absorbing three spirit rings that were infinitely close to Ultimate Wind, Grey Wolf's control over the wind element had reached the level of Ultimate Wind.
This Ultimate Wind was truly powerful!
With their full exertion, the intense tearing force could even distort space, creating black holes out of thin air. Given the black hole's nature to destroy all things, even a Title Douluo could be severely injured if caught off guard.
This was terrifying, considering he was only a three-ring Soul Elder!
As for his Soul Power Level, the increase from this absorption was modest, reaching only about level 32. Ultimate Soul Power was far more condensed than ordinary spirit power.
Although his level was only 32, his total volume of spirit power was comparable to other level 36 Soul Masters.
Mutating into an ultimate attribute had many benefits, but the only drawback was that after reaching the Soul Elder realm, the cultivation speed of an ultimate attribute wielder would decrease.
This would inevitably affect Feng Tianyu's plan to reach the level of a Soul King before the age of 12!
Fortunately, by cultivating together with Grey Wolf, he could still maintain double the cultivation speed. Even with the slower progress of the ultimate attribute, he would at least match a normal person with Innate Full Soul Power, gaining three or four levels a year.
He had built a solid foundation; reaching level 32 by age seven was excellent. Gaining three levels a year for five years would add 15 levels, and gaining four levels a year would add 20.
No matter how he calculated it, reaching the level of a Soul King before age 12 was highly probable!
At this moment, Grey Wolf laughed triumphantly:
"Hahahaha, This Great King is going to be invincible!"
"My third spirit skill, Gale Six Wings, not only allows flight but also boosts speed by 300%, strengthens wind-attribute power by 100%, and doubles my attack range!"
"Second spirit skill, Wolf Soul Possession!"
"Third Soul Skill, Gale Six Wings!"
A cyan wolf spirit phantom condensed within the gale, possessing Grey Wolf's body and granting a 100% boost to attack and a 100% boost to speed.
Cyan light spread across Grey Wolf's back, coalescing into three pairs of cyan wings. Air currents swirled around these six wings, entwining with the gale to enhance speed by 300%.
With a sharp whistle, Grey Wolf leaped into the sky, moving so fast that he was impossible to track, leaving behind only streaks of cyan afterimages.
"Gale Demon Wolf 108-Strike Combo!"
Feng Tianyu had long ago taught this Self-Created Soul Skill, originally created by Feng Xiaotian, to Grey Wolf, but he had been unable to execute it until now due to his lack of flight capabilities.
"First strike!"
"Second strike!"
"Third strike!"
"..."
The cyan afterimage transformed by Grey Wolf glided, charged, circled, and gathered momentum in the sky, whipping the surrounding winds into a frenzy and gradually forming a cyan tornado.
About half an hour later!
Grey Wolf's Gale Demon Wolf 108-Strike Combo had accumulated to the 72nd strike. At this point, Grey Wolf's body was struggling to bear the strain, reaching the brink of collapse.
He was still not strong enough to unleash the final 108-strike combo!
Yet, even at 72 strikes, the tearing force of the Ultimate Wind had been pushed to its absolute limit.
The destructive power of the Ultimate Wind combined with the momentum of the Gale Demon Wolf 108-Strike Combo was a perfect match.
High above, the cyan tornado had transformed into a black one, its intense tearing force distorting space and creating a massive black hole!
In the next instant!
Grey Wolf plummeted from within the black hole. The massive void descended upon the ground, silent and devoid of any earth-shattering noise, yet it completely devoured everything in its path.
Soil, ancient trees, boulders... everything was thoroughly consumed by the black hole!
All that remained on the ground was a massive crater with a diameter of 100 meters!
The power of this Self-Created Soul Skill was too great; the backlash in that instant caused Grey Wolf's body to disintegrate, forcing him to return to Feng Tianyu's body.
After all, even Feng Xiaotian had only been able to refine the Self-Created Soul Skill to the 108-strike combo after breaking through to become a Title Douluo.
If one's physical constitution is insufficient, the backlash from the accumulated power would result in one's own total annihilation.
Grey Wolf was a pure energy construct, immortal and indestructible; even if he disintegrated, he could recover within Feng Tianyu's body.
Qian Duoduo's mouth hung agape as he stared at Feng Tianyu as if looking at a monster.
What kind of concept was that just now?
As long as Grey Wolf was given enough time to build momentum, he could forcefully kill any Soul Saint. Even a Title Douluo, if swallowed by that black hole, would likely be stripped of a layer of skin!
Is this the power of the Ultimate Wind? It is simply too terrifying!
And that Self-Created Soul Skill... it truly pushed the destructive power of the Ultimate Wind to its absolute peak.
