Third Spirit Ring! Blacksmith Level Two

[Ding]

[Mining successful, obtained Iron Ore*10]

Whoosh!

Deep in the jungle.

Ji Feng was blasted out of a cave.

Following him as he was sent flying.

Was a 300-year-old soul beast.

"Cough, cough."

"The materials are finally gathered."

Ji Feng tidied his hair.

He opened his sub-profession interface.

His mining level was still Lv1.

And his blacksmith sub-profession.

Appeared alongside it.

As a profession gifted with mining.

Ji Feng was quite adept at it.

"This piece of Star Pattern Beast Hide should be enough to craft the Boots of Speed, right?"

Ji Feng pulled an arrow from the soul beast.

[You obtained material: Star Pattern Beast Hide*5]

In Honor Continent, there were many pieces of equipment.

The first piece of equipment Ji Feng chose to craft.

Was a pair of boots.

Only with boots could he run fast and increase his evasion.

For a marksman like his martial soul, Hou Yi.

This provided an innate advantage.

"Start crafting!"

He opened the blacksmith panel.

It was also a Lv1 skill: Junior Blacksmith.

Junior Blacksmith.

Could only forge ordinary ironware.

"My current blacksmith level can only forge mortal iron weapons and equipment."

"It is clearly impossible to forge the Rapid War Boots in one go."

Rapid War Boots.

As one of Hou Yi's core items in Honor, they were composed of the Speed War Boots and a dagger.

And these two items.

Given Ji Feng's current forging level.

He could forge both.

As for synthesizing the Rapid War Boots.

He would have to wait until his blacksmith level reached level 3.

Only by becoming a High-Level Blacksmith.

Would he be able to forge them.

Thinking of this.

Ji Feng left the forest.

And arrived at a small town.

There were many soul masters in the town.

And there were also blacksmith shops.

"People in this world need a blacksmith shop to forge equipment."

"But I don't."

With the help of the system.

He possessed forging skills of an equivalent level.

Yet he had no need to light a fire or hammer iron.

The system panel popped up.

"Place materials."

A piece of Star Pattern Beast Hide was placed on top.

[Ding!]

[Materials complete. Begin crafting?]

"Yes!"

Without overthinking it.

Ji Feng focused his mind.

The next second.

The panel interface flashed with a brilliant light.

Following that, a pair of brown boots.

Materialized before his eyes.

[Boots of Speed]

Unique Passive: Gain 30 Movement Speed.

"Put on these straw sandals, feel like the wind."

Without hesitation.

He took off the shoes he had been wearing in this world.

He put on the newly crafted Boots of Speed.

"I instantly feel my footsteps are much lighter."

If one were to say.

Ji Feng's previous walking speed was like running.

Then now, it was like riding a bicycle.

It was both effortless and faster than before.

"Hmm, once I gather the Rapid War Boots and one major item, I can return to Suotuo City and slaughter everyone."

Right now.

Ji Feng was also a level 30 Soul Grand Master.

Once he headed to the Soul Hunting Forest to kill a soul beast.

And absorbed his third soul ring.

He would be able to break through to level 31.

Becoming a Soul Elder!

Before reaching level 30.

Ji Feng had been able to rely on two soul rings and three skills.

To catch Yu Tianheng, a level 39, off guard.

Once he reached level 39, or even level 40.

Equipped with two items.

His combat power would inevitably rise to another level.

Five days later.

Soul Hunting Forest.

The central area.

"Getting closer and closer to it."

Ji Feng had awakened the Hou Yi Martial Soul.

His perception was far more sensitive than that of an ordinary person.

"Roar!"

Suddenly.

A soul beast's roar echoed from the distance, shaking the heavens.

"It has awakened. It is time to hunt!"

Ji Feng let out a sigh.

He took his bow and arrows from his back.

Arrows condensed from soul power.

"Roar!"

The Three-Headed Demon-Devouring Spider made its entrance!

However.

This time.

Ji Feng was not afraid of it!

Swish!

An arrow shot out.

-100

-10

That's right.

One arrow, two waves of damage.

"First soul ring, Datura Snake effect."

Seeing this.

The corners of Ji Feng's mouth curled upward.

The Datura Snake soul ring had granted him a passive ability.

The arrow's poison-coating effect.

"The toxicity isn't high, but it excels in duration!"

Standing his ground and going head-to-head with this four-thousand-year-old soul beast.

That was clearly impossible.

But by utilizing the speed boost from the Boots of Speed.

Combined with the arrow's passive, Split Shot, and kiting tactics.

Plus the fact that every arrow carried a poison effect.

As long as he persisted long enough.

He could grind it to death!

"The Hou Yi Martial Soul may only allow me to possess four soul rings, but as long as they are paired correctly, the power is heaven-defying!"

Ji Feng's face was filled with excitement.

Then, he continued to kite.

And maneuver.

One hour later.

Amidst the final shriek of the Three-Headed Demon-Devouring Spider.

It collapsed with a loud crash.

It was dead!

Whoosh!

A purple soul ring emerged.

Waiting for Ji Feng to absorb it.

"Begin absorbing the soul ring!"

Looking at the purple soul ring before him.

A full 4,000-year soul ring.

Seeing this.

Ji Feng did not hesitate.

He sat cross-legged directly on the ground.

And began to absorb this soul ring from the Three-Headed Demon-Devouring Spider.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Three-Headed Demon-Devouring Spider's age is higher.]

[It is currently competing with the Earth King soul ring for the second soul ring slot!]

"What's going on!?"

The sudden system notification.

Caused Ji Feng's heart to tighten.

Following that, the muscles in his face began to twitch.

Clearly, at this very moment.

Ji Feng himself was undergoing a transformation.

[Ding!]

[Host's spirit ring displacement detected.]

[Correction complete, second spirit ring fusion finished!]

Whoosh!

Ji Feng surged upward as if breaking through the surface of a deep lake.

A sound like crashing ocean waves emanated from his spirit power fluctuations.

The next second.

He landed.

One spirit ring after another appeared.

Yellow.

Purple!

Purple!

There was no difference.

The only change was the order.

Ji Feng could feel the sequence of his second and third spirit rings.

"The Three-Headed Demon-Devouring Spider has actually become my second spirit ring!?"

"And the Earth King has become the third!"

Sensing this subtle shift.

A look of surprise flickered across Ji Feng's face.

The Earth King's age was 2,000 years.

While the Three-Headed Demon-Devouring Spider was 4,000 years old!

Absorption complete.

Ji Feng also sensed the ability granted to him by the Three-Headed Demon-Devouring Spider spirit ring.

"Soul-Piercing Spider Spear?"

"Interesting."

Fully prepared.

Ji Feng did not linger.

He decided to return to the Balaque Kingdom the way he came.

Target destination: Suotuo City!

The return trip to Suotuo City.

Would also take seven days.

Along the way.

He utilized all his metal materials.

To hone his forging skills.

During the journey.

He had already reached level 2.

"Open backpack."

Whoosh!

With a thought.

The system backpack opened.

Inside were all the pieces of equipment he had forged.

[Dagger]: +10% attack speed

[Combat Gloves]: +8% critical hit rate

[Iron Sword]: +20 physical attack

These were all items forgeable at Blacksmith level 1 and 2.

All were common grade.

"Once my blacksmith skill reaches level 3, I'll be able to forge not just the Rapid War Boots, but also the Blood-Sucking Scythe!"

This world.

There are places like auction houses.

After traveling back and forth over a long distance.

The gold coins Ji Feng brought from home.

Had long since been spent.

He also intended to find a way.

To earn some gold coins.

Suotuo City.

Southwest of the city.

The original site of Shrek Academy.

The dilapidated and desolate academy entrance.

On the broken plaque, a few crooked characters were scrawled.

"Ning Rongrong, do not provoke my patience. This is Shrek Academy, not your home. Others may fear your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I, Dai Mubai, do not. If you anger me, be careful, or I will rape you before killing you, then rape you again after killing you!"
