Tang San was instantly triggered by Ji Feng's words, his composure shattering.

He glared with wide, furious eyes.

Before he could even speak, Gangzi, standing to the side, pointed a finger at him and barked, "Ji Feng! You actually stole Little San's spirit ring!"

"Gangzi, you can't say it like that. This Datura Snake was just lying there, and I happened to come across it. I thought no one wanted it."

Ji Feng said with a playful expression.

"Liar!" Tang San spat.

His face turned black in an instant.

"Do you have any idea how much effort I put in? I was just about to defeat this spirit beast, and you suddenly swooped in to steal the fruits of my victory!"

Tang San's words were grim.

He stared at Ji Feng with a face full of venomous resentment.

If his strength allowed it.

He truly wanted to tear him apart and swallow him whole!

Ji Feng simply ignored the murderous glares from the master and disciple.

He turned around and said, "Don't be so angry. I've already been expelled from Notting Academy because of you two; what else could you possibly be dissatisfied about?"

"I'm off."

Ji Feng let out a yawn.

He slung his bow over his back.

Waving his hand, he swaggered away.

"Damn you, Ji Feng, you're courting death!"

A ruthless glint appeared in Tang San's eyes.

He was about to unleash his Tang Sect hidden weapons.

At that moment.

Yu Xiaogang, standing nearby, said, "Little San, ignore him. He won't be smug for long. If you train with me, you'll leave this Ji Feng far behind in no time!"

"My Ten Core Competencies of Spirit Masters are the most accurate spirit master theories on the Douluo Continent!"

As he spoke.

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists.

His face was full of confidence.

Seeing this, young Tang San.

Secretly nodded.

"Ji Feng, you just wait."

"The next time I see you, you won't even be qualified to carry my shoes!"

Ji Feng left the outer perimeter of the Soul Hunting Forest.

He headed toward the center.

Having obtained his first spirit ring.

Ji Feng was not granted a new spirit skill by the ring.

Because of his Hou Yi martial soul.

His spirit skills would always consist of one passive and three active abilities.

"Hou Yi's three skills are already enough."

"What I need to do now is find a way to obtain the equipment that only exists on the Honor Continent!"

According to the skill descriptions.

Even though Ji Feng was currently on the Douluo Continent.

He could still utilize orb effects.

And to use orb effects, he needed to obtain the equipment found in Honor of Kings.

"How can I obtain equipment?"

Thinking of this.

A question mark appeared in Ji Feng's mind.

Deep in the Soul Hunting Forest, near the center.

"Puchi!"

Ji Feng carried his recurve bow on his back.

He walked into a dense thicket of thorns.

Twigs snapped beneath his feet.

Suddenly, a bird-type spirit beast lunged at him from ahead.

"Wind-Tail Pheasant?"

"Only a ten-year age, just enough for me to grind levels."

Ji Feng chuckled softly.

He continued walking forward.

As he moved, he reached behind his back and drew his bow.

He nocked an arrow and drew the string.

"Fire!"

Swish!

An arrow wreathed in flames shot toward the flying Wind-Tail Pheasant.

"Hit!"

Following closely behind was a shrill cry: "Squawk!"

He fired one more arrow to finish it off.

Two arrows, done!

"A 10-year white spirit ring."

"My current Innate Soul Power is still far too weak; it takes two arrows just to take down a ten-year spirit beast."

Swish!

Name: Ji Feng Spirit: Hou Yi Spirit Power: Level 11 (110/2000)

He opened his personal panel.

After absorbing his first spirit ring, his spirit power had increased by a full level, reaching Level 11.

Killing one 10-year spirit beast had granted him 100 experience points.

"If I kill another 20 Wind-Tail Pheasants, I'll reach Level 12."

Ever since parting ways with Tang San, Ji Feng had felt a sense of urgency.

He knew that with Tang San's destiny as the Child of the Plane, his opportunities would be endless.

The other party also possessed Level 10 Innate Soul Power.

Therefore, he wanted to crush the protagonist group in levels first.

At the very least, he needed to reach Level 40 and fill all four spirit ring slots.

Swish, swish, swish.

Throughout the afternoon, Ji Feng lost count of how many spirit beasts he had slain.

10-year, 100-year, 200-year, even 300-year spirit beasts—he had hunted them all.

He opened his personal panel.

Name: Ji Feng Spirit: Hou Yi Spirit Power: Level 15 (120/6000)

"In just one afternoon, my spirit power has reached Level 15. It looks like breaking through to a Level 20 Spirit Master by tomorrow is well within reach!"

As long as I farm wild monsters, I can gain soul power.

Compared to everyone else on the Douluo Continent who needs to cultivate their soul power, this method of increasing my own strength is a hundred times faster!

BOOM!

Night fell.

Just as Ji Feng was preparing to call it a day and find a place to sleep, a sound of the earth splitting echoed from afar.

It's the roar of a soul beast.

Hearing this sound, Ji Feng became alert.

He followed the commotion.

He parted the tall grass.

In the distance, in an open clearing:

"A plant-type soul beast of at least 500 years!?"

Looking at the enraged soul beast before him, Ji Feng's expression shifted.

He didn't even have the courage to solo a soul beast of this caliber.

However, a girl wearing a purple dress, with short purple hair and stockings, was currently fighting it.

"Hey!"

The girl let out a delicate cry.

It would be more accurate to say she was fleeing rather than fighting, because she was an auxiliary-type soul master.

"An auxiliary-type soul master, actually alone in the Soul Hunting Forest, facing this Jade Begonia of at least 500 years by herself."

"Kill!"

Seeing the young girl in such precarious danger, Ji Feng couldn't bear to watch such a beauty meet a tragic end.

He struck directly.

SWISH!

Purple-skirted girl: !!?

Clearly, Ji Feng's sudden appearance caused her cold eyes to widen in surprise.

She didn't speak, but allowed herself to be shielded behind Ji Feng, assuming a defensive stance.

"Shoot!"

Ji Feng didn't say a word, immediately manifesting his Hou Yi martial soul.

BOOM!

The bow and arrow appeared behind him.

One arrow struck the Jade Begonia, drawing a miserable shriek.

"Shoot again!"

WHOOSH!

The sound of the arrow piercing the air rang out.

Ji Feng moved constantly.

The girl in the purple dress behind him hesitated for a moment the instant Ji Feng released his martial soul.

Clearly, she was stunned by his divine martial soul.

However, she seemed naturally indifferent.

Her eyes brightened for only a fleeting moment.

Before returning to their calm state.

"Damn it!"

"This soul beast is a full 700 years old! It's incredibly troublesome!"

"Run!"

Ji Feng performed a roll.

Looking rather disheveled.

He entrusted his back to this girl.

The girl was taken aback by his words.

She stood there, momentarily stunned.

She couldn't fathom why this person would want to save her.

She bit her lip lightly.

Seeming somewhat conflicted.

At the most critical moment.

She released her martial soul.

"Nine-Heart Begonia!"

Swish!

As she acted.

The Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul appeared.

A wave of healing energy.

Was cast upon Ji Feng.

"Holy crap, you have healing, why didn't you use it earlier!"

Ji Feng was shocked.

Only then did he realize.

This quiet, cold, and cool-looking girl.

Was actually Ye Lingling!

Subjected to Ji Feng's complaint.

Ye Lingling's eyes grew even colder.

She did not respond.

But Ji Feng was back to full health.

Following that.

"Punishing Shot!"

"Multiple Arrows!"

"Sunset Glow!"

As the three skills struck the soul beast.

With a whimper, this 700-year-old plant-type martial soul.

Was down to its last drop of health.

"Ye Lingling, attack!"

Ji Feng shouted.

Ye Lingling looked up at his words, stunned for a brief moment.

How does this person know my name!
