"Ahhh..."
Grey Wolf screamed in pain, and Feng Tianyu was not faring much better. The surging Soul Ring energy churned within his body, bringing tearing pain to his internal organs.
Though his life was not in danger, absorbing the Soul Ring felt no different from being tortured.
An eight-thousand-year Soul Ring was not so easily absorbed.
Feng Tianyu's body could at most withstand a seven-thousand-year Soul Ring. The extra thousand years were entirely thanks to Grey Wolf sharing the burden.
The surging energy had swollen Grey Wolf like a balloon. Although Grey Wolf, as a pure energy body, could fuse one hundred percent with the soul beast essence within the Soul Ring energy—
—the energy was far too immense. To return to his original size, he had to compress that energy even further.
Grey Wolf gritted his teeth, his features twisted into a knot. Relying on his indomitable willpower, he began compressing the energy within his body.
Just how strong was his willpower?
After failing time and again despite catching little sheep thousands of times, he still kept fighting after every defeat. With that spirit, he forcibly drove the wind-element energy within his body to begin compressing!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gales howled within him, chaotic, disorderly, and violent. Under Grey Wolf's powerful will, a small portion of the previously uncontrollable wind-element energy was successfully set in motion, spinning fiercely in a single direction.
Once momentum formed, it was like a high-speed train. Any obstacle in its path would be ruthlessly swept away.
At first, Grey Wolf had only set ten percent of the wind-element energy in motion. But gradually, using that ten percent, he slowly moved more and more of it.
Thirty percent!
Fifty percent!
Until... one hundred percent!
At that instant, all the chaotic, disorderly, violent wind-element energy within Grey Wolf's body spun in one direction, compressed into an azure vortex.
And outside!
Qian Duoduo, who had been vigilantly watching the surroundings to prevent a soul beast ambush, suddenly looked toward Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf in stunned disbelief.
An azure whirlwind rose high around Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf. The airflow churned, and its powerful tearing force distorted even the air itself.
Everything nearby—flowers, grass, earth, shattered stones...—was torn into dust by the azure whirlwind!
Qian Duoduo's eyes went blank with shock, and even his body trembled slightly.
"Ultimate Wind!"
"This is Ultimate Wind!"
"Tianyu, Grey Wolf, how did they do it? Even Elder Song, whose Azure Shadow Divine Eagle had reached the level of a Titled Douluo, could not attain Ultimate Wind!"
"And Tianyu and Grey Wolf have only absorbed three Soul Rings, yet they compressed, condensed, and mutated Ultimate Wind!"
"A miracle! Another wielder of Ultimate Wind has appeared at Shrek Academy!"
"The wielders of Ultimate Wind, Ultimate Fire, and Ultimate Wood who once appeared at Shrek Academy all became top experts renowned throughout their era!"
"In the future, Tianyu will become such an expert as well, and he will also become a top Soul Engineer. A top soul master and a top Soul Engineer—over the next hundred years, no one will be able to shake Tianyu's position!"
Excitement gleamed in Qian Duoduo's eyes. He was truly glad that Feng Tianyu had come to their Soul Guidance Department.
As long as Feng Tianyu was there, it would only be a matter of time before the Soul Guidance Department surpassed the Martial Soul Department.
At the same time, beneath Feng Tianyu, the two Soul Rings that had originally been pulsing above and below him—one yellow and one purple—were joined by a third deep-purple Soul Ring that condensed from nothing, reflecting one another.
This absorption of the Soul Ring by Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf had finally come to an end.
Feng Tianyu slowly opened his eyes, surprise flashing within them.
Just as he had expected, after absorbing three soul beast Soul Rings infinitely close to Ultimate Wind, Grey Wolf's control over the wind element had completely reached the level of Ultimate Wind.
Ultimate Wind really was incredibly powerful!
When fully unleashed, that powerful tearing force could even distort space and create black holes out of thin air. With a black hole's ability to destroy all things, even a Titled Douluo could be severely injured by carelessness.
That was terrifying. After all, he was only a three-ringed Soul Elder!
As for the Soul Power within his body, absorbing this Soul Ring had not increased it much. It had only reached around level thirty-two. Ultimate-attribute Soul Power was far denser than ordinary-attribute Soul Power.
Although his Soul Power Level had only reached level thirty-two, his total Soul Power was enough to rival that of other level-thirty-six soul masters.
Mutating an ultimate attribute brought countless benefits, but its only drawback was that after an ultimate-attribute wielder reached the Soul Elder realm, their cultivation speed would decline.
That would inevitably affect Feng Tianyu's plan to break through to Soul King before the age of twelve!
Fortunately, cultivating together with Grey Wolf still gave him double cultivation speed. Even if ultimate attributes slowed cultivation somewhat, it would at most reduce him to the level of someone with Innate Full Soul Power, allowing him to increase only three or four levels of Soul Power per year.
His foundation was excellent. He had already broken through to level thirty-two Soul Power at seven years old. At three levels per year, he would gain fifteen levels in five years. At four levels per year, he would gain twenty levels in five years.
No matter how he calculated it, breaking through to Soul King before the age of twelve was still very possible!
At that moment, Grey Wolf burst into triumphant laughter.
"Hahahaha, this king is going to be invincible!"
"This king's third Soul Skill, Gale Six Wings, not only allows flight, but can also increase speed by three hundred percent, strengthen wind-element power by one hundred percent, and double this king's attack range!"
"Second Soul Skill, Wolf Soul Possession!"
"Third Soul Skill, Gale Six Wings!"
An azure phantom of a wolf soul condensed amid the violent wind and merged into Grey Wolf's body, increasing his attack by one hundred percent and his speed by one hundred percent.
Azure light spread across Grey Wolf's back, condensing three pairs of azure wings. Airflow churned over the six azure wings as gales wrapped around them, increasing his speed by three hundred percent.
With a whoosh, Grey Wolf shot into the sky. He moved so fast that he could not be seen clearly, leaving behind only streaks of azure afterimages.
"Gale Demon Wolf 108-Strike Combo!"
Feng Tianyu had taught Grey Wolf this Self-Created Soul Skill created by Feng Xiaotian long ago, but without the ability to fly, Grey Wolf had never been able to use it.
"First strike!"
"Second strike!"
"Third strike!"
"..."
Grey Wolf's azure afterimage continuously glided, charged, circled, and gathered strength in the sky, stirring the winds between heaven and earth until an azure tornado gradually took shape.
About half an hour later!
Grey Wolf's Gale Demon Wolf 108-Strike Combo had accumulated to the seventy-second strike. By then, his body could no longer endure it and had reached the brink of collapse.
He was still not strong enough to unleash the final one hundred and eight strikes!
But even seventy-two strikes had pushed the tearing force of Ultimate Wind to its limit!
The destructive power of Ultimate Wind and the accumulated force of Gale Demon Wolf 108-Strike Combo complemented each other perfectly.
The azure tornado in the sky had turned into a black tornado. Its powerful tearing force distorted space and created a massive black hole!
The next instant!
Grey Wolf fell from within the black hole. The enormous black hole descended upon the ground without a sound, without any earth-shattering noise, and completely swallowed everything on the surface.
Soil, ancient trees, rocks... everything was thoroughly devoured by that black hole!
Only a giant crater one hundred meters in diameter remained on the ground!
The power of this Self-Created Soul Skill was too great. The backlash at that instant caused Grey Wolf's body to collapse immediately, forcing him to return to Feng Tianyu's body.
After all, Feng Xiaotian had only developed this Self-Created Soul Skill to one hundred and eight strikes after breaking through to Titled Douluo.
If one's body was not strong enough, the backlash from the accumulated power would destroy one's body and soul first.
Grey Wolf was a pure energy body, immortal and indestructible. Even if he collapsed, he could recover within Feng Tianyu's body.
Qian Duoduo's mouth hung open as he stared at Feng Tianyu as though looking at a monster.
What had that just meant?
As long as Grey Wolf had enough time to gather strength, he could forcefully kill any Soul Saint. Even a Titled Douluo, if swallowed by that black hole, would probably lose a layer of skin!
Was this Ultimate Wind? It was far too terrifying!
And that Self-Created Soul Skill had simply brought Ultimate Wind's destructive power to its absolute limit...
