Absorbing the First Soul Ring, Datura Snake

A bloody scratch appeared on Gangzi's face.

Had that arrow been off by even a fraction of an inch, it would have struck his buzzcut.

A look of shame and annoyance crossed his face.

He glared with wide, angry eyes.

"Teacher!"

Little Tang San ran over.

He stood in front of Yu Xiaogang.

He stared toward the depths of the bamboo forest with a vigilant expression.

Rustle.

The sound of footsteps treading through the bamboo forest echoed.

Soon after.

A figure emerged.

"Ji Feng!"

"It's you!"

The master and disciple spoke in unison.

They recognized the newcomer as Ji Feng at a single glance.

In the distance.

Ji Feng held a bow and arrow.

The arrow in his hand was condensed from Soul Power.

A strange look appeared on his face.

"So it's you two..."

He never expected to run into Tang San and Yu Xiaogang here.

Seeing that the newcomer was that brat Ji Feng, Yu Xiaogang's vigilance vanished, replaced by irritation: "Are you holding a grudge because I had you expelled from Notting Academy!?"

"Ji Feng! You are so vicious, attacking with such malice? You almost killed my teacher!"

Little Tang San reached out and pointed at Ji Feng.

His face was full of condemnation.

"You've got it wrong. I'm level 10 now, and I just came to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a soul ring."

"Since you are here, I will search elsewhere."

After speaking.

Ji Feng turned and walked away.

"What? Level 10?"

Tang San was stunned upon hearing this.

He thought he had misheard.

He was brought here by his teacher to hunt a Soul Beast because his own level was Innate Full Soul Power.

But this Ji Feng, with an ordinary martial soul—

When did his soul power reach level 10?

Just as Tang San was filled with doubt.

Yu Xiaogang spoke up: "San, stay away from people like him in the future. Not only is he vicious, but his character is flawed and he is full of lies."

"This disciple understands!"

Little Tang San bowed in salute.

However, a trace of killing intent flickered in the corner of his eyes.

Having lived two lives.

His mind was nothing if not mature.

This Ji Feng had provoked him twice now.

In his eyes, this person was already walking the path of death!

Next time we meet, I'll make you pay!

Little Tang San thought to himself.

He then followed in Yu Xiaogang's footsteps.

Moving forward.

On the other side.

After Ji Feng left.

He familiarized himself with his bow and arrow in the forest.

Several hours later.

He gradually became proficient in controlling his soul power to draw the bow and shoot.

"Open panel."

Name: Ji Feng
Martial Soul: Hou Yi
Soul Power: Level 10 (100/2000)

The experience points are still moving; could it be that I can level up without absorbing a soul ring?

He looked at the experience bar behind his attribute panel.

It kept jumping as he killed Soul Beast after Soul Beast.

Ji Feng speculated in his heart.

However, there is no rush to look for a suitable Soul Beast for myself right now.

Thinking this.

Ji Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

A playful arc curled at the corners of his mouth.

Accompanied by this subtle expression.

He put away his bow and arrow.

He slipped into the depths of the forest.

Turning back to track the positions of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

Soul Hunting Forest.

Bushy thickets.

"Farts like thunder, Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao!"

Better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

On the battlefield.

Yu Xiaogang unleashed his martial soul.

Taking young Tang San with him, he was locked in a death struggle with a 422-year-old Datura Snake.

Gangzi is truly defying the heavens; he brought his apprentice out to hunt a Soul Beast and almost ended up dying himself.

Next, let's watch Tang San's performance.

Ji Feng sneered.

He hid in the darkness.

Crouching in the grass.

This was the passive ability of the King Template.

As long as the enemy did not enter the grass.

And his vision was not exposed.

No matter how high their level was.

They could not discover his tracks.

Ji Feng stood right there in the grass.

If it were anyone else.

They would naturally spot him at a glance.

But right now, the Datura Snake was shaking the entire forest.

Whether it was Tang San, Gangzi, or the Soul Beast.

Passing back and forth.

None of them discovered him!

"Oh no, poisoned."

Yu Xiaogang used his Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao, his farts sounding like thunder.

After being struck by the Datura Snake's poison, he was instantly knocked unconscious.

He passed out instantly.

This left Ji Feng truly unable to hold back a grimace.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track! Purple Demon Eye!"

Next, it was little Tang San's turn to strike.

It must be said.

As the Child of the Plane, Tang San.

Indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.

Although only ten years old, relying on his Tang Sect secret manuals.

He was actually barely holding his own against this 422-year-old Datura Snake.

"Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!"

In a flash.

Tang San seized the opportunity.

He yanked the snake's head.

"Mysterious Jade Hand!"

Tang San thrust out the short sword in his hand.

"Good chance!"

Tang San was a genius.

It had to be said, he was excellent at seizing opportunities.

However.

Ji Feng, hidden in the shadows.

Having awakened the Super Martial Soul Hou Yi.

Was no pushover either.

He had even staked out the spot in advance.

Beating Tang San to the punch, he kept his eyes locked on the opening.

Ji Feng nocked an arrow.

His eyes in the pitch-black jungle were like torches.

"Praise the Sun!"

In the dim jungle.

A voice that seemed to come from the primordial era.

Rang out from behind Tang San.

Followed by the shrill cry of a Golden Crow.

Immediately.

A long rainbow swept through the air.

"What the hell is that!?"

Tang San had no time to turn around.

He was startled.

It was in this momentary lapse of focus.

Snap!

The sound of the Arrow of the Scorching Sun striking the Datura Snake's body.

Resounded through the forest.

"Wah!"

The Datura Snake shrieked in agony.

After a bout of thrashing, a yellow spirit ring.

Emerged.

"Ji Feng!"

Already wounded and on the verge of passing out, Tang San.

Saw Ji Feng walk out.

Holding a bow and arrow.

His eyes widened.

His gaze was filled with murderous rage.

The venomous resentment in his heart could not be concealed.

"Tang San, it's fortunate that I arrived in time, otherwise you would have been beaten to death by this beast."

Ji Feng laughed.

He spoke with an eager expression.

"Pfft!"

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything.

Upon hearing Ji Feng's words.

Young Tang San completely lost his composure.

Overcome with rage, his heart gave way.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Clutching his chest, he collapsed to the ground.

He fell into an unconscious slumber.

"Dead?"

Ji Feng was taken aback.

On second thought, that shouldn't be the case.

He was likely just asleep.

"Young people have such robust bodies, falling asleep the moment they hit the ground."

Leaving that remark behind.

The corners of Ji Feng's mouth curled upward.

He turned and walked toward the Datura Snake he had shot dead.

His first move.

Stealing the kill was a success.

This left Ji Feng quite pleasantly surprised.

It further bolstered his confidence.

"422 years."

"I recall that the maximum age limit for a first spirit ring is 423 years."

"First spirit ring, it will be you."

Having said that.

Ji Feng's lips curved into a smile.

He sat cross-legged on the spot.

He began to absorb the spirit ring.

The process of absorbing a spirit ring was a long one.

As it was his first time absorbing a spirit ring.

Ji Feng was also very nervous.

Time holds no meaning in cultivation.

It was only when Ji Feng heard a sound by his ears.

That he opened his eyes.

By then, his first spirit ring had been fully absorbed.

He looked up.

An old man and a youth.

Were walking toward him.

However, they were not offering a friendly greeting.

Instead, their expressions were dark and uncertain.

"Tang San, you're awake?"

Ji Feng laughed.

Crack!

Looking at Ji Feng's punchable expression.

Tang San clenched his fists, the sound of his knuckles faintly audible.

He never would have imagined.

This Ji Feng.

He had actually changed his usual demeanor.

He no longer carried that overbearing, arrogant air from before.

Instead, every word out of his mouth was dripping with sarcasm.

To the point of being infuriating.

That damn Ji Feng!
