The Azure Dragon Staff Had Such an Ability?!

The Azure Dragon Staff Had Such an Ability?!

"Xiaofei, congratulations on finishing the absorption. Come test how many levels your Soul Power has increased!"

"This was a 1,999-year Soul Ring for your first ring. It's even higher-grade than what a Soul Elder would absorb, so your Soul Power must have increased considerably!"

Flender and Zhao Wuji could barely contain their impatience, while Li Yusong took out the Soul Testing Ball and placed it before Li Fei.

Li Fei was also curious about how far his Soul Power had risen. He reached out and touched it.

Buzz!

As light lit up,

two numbers appeared.

Level eighteen!

"Level eighteen?!" The three of them were shocked.

His Soul Power had risen by a full eight levels!

Normally, absorbing a Soul Ring of around a hundred years would only raise one's Soul Power by one level, two at most.

If the Soul Ring was under a hundred years old, it would not even raise it by a single level.

Seeing the result, Li Fei showed only brief surprise. He was not too taken aback, since he had already been prepared for it.

"Xiaofei, would it be convenient for you to tell us what your first soul skill is?" Li Yusong asked.

Flender and Zhao Wuji were also looking forward to hearing it.

After all, the three of them had spent a week helping him search for it, so Li Fei intended to tell them. "My first soul skill is called Nine Strengths of the Azure Dragon. Once activated, all my attributes receive a major boost. Every swing counts as one strike, one force. The amplification stacks based on my base strength, and it also unleashes powerful dragon might that intimidates Soul Beasts and Martial Souls. Every force doubles the full-attribute burst of the previous force! In other words, my first soul skill can ultimately increase the power of all my attributes by nine times! That's a total amplification of nine hundred percent!"

First Force · One hundred percent full-attribute amplification!

Second Force · Two hundred percent full-attribute amplification!

Third Force · Three hundred percent full-attribute amplification!

Fourth Force · Four hundred percent full-attribute amplification!

Fivefold Force · Five hundred percent full-attribute amplification!

Sixth Force · Six hundred percent full-attribute amplification!

Seventh Force · Seven hundred percent full-attribute amplification!

Eighth Force · Eight hundred percent full-attribute amplification!

Ninth Force · Nine hundred percent full-attribute amplification!

"What?!"

"Nine hundred percent?!"

"Isn't that ridiculously overpowered? And this is only your first soul skill!"

Li Yusong, Flender, and Zhao Wuji all looked as though they had seen a ghost.

Flender then said sternly, "Xiaofei, you must never tell anyone else about this. Let's pretend we never heard it. If others learn that your first soul skill has such heaven-defying amplification, they'll either try to recruit you or find a way to eliminate you! Your existence is far too extraordinary. Even a Soul Saint's Martial Soul Avatar usually only provides a two-hundred-percent increase!"

"You won't need to tell us about your soul skills in the future, either."

He added that at the end.

"I understand."

"But it isn't so easy to complete all of it. Every force consumes an enormous amount of my energy after I use it!"

"Still, once my cultivation is a little higher, this move will indeed be a terrifying nine-strike staff technique."

Li Fei explained.

"It's already dark. Let's leave the forest quickly."

Originally, they had planned to test the strength of Li Fei's soul skill, but they feared causing too much commotion and attracting unnecessary trouble, so they could only abandon the idea.

The four quickly left. Unlike when they had been searching for a Soul Beast, their objective was now clear and singular. As long as they found the right direction and kept moving forward, they could get out. Naturally, it would not take another week.

After all, they had spent the past week wandering in circles for a long time.

When they reached the outer region, they suddenly encountered a Black Bear blocking their path.

Judging from its aura, it was at least around five hundred years old.

"Get lost."

Flender had originally intended to act and frighten it away.

However, Li Fei stopped him at that moment.

"This is the outer region, very close to the forest's edge. I want to get some practice," Li Fei said. He had already summoned the Azure Dragon Staff, erupted with Soul Power, and charged at the Black Bear ahead.

"Fine. The three of us will stand guard, watch the surroundings, and be ready to act at any time."

Flender nodded.

Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong skillfully spread out.

The battle between Li Fei and the Black Bear began as well.

Li Fei planted the Azure Dragon Staff into the ground and used it to propel himself forward. His entire body shot into the air as he swung the staff down!

Bang!!!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!!!!!

The two sides fought fiercely!

It was Li Fei's first time fighting a Black Bear, so he was unfamiliar with it and needed time to adapt.

The Black Bear, meanwhile, was suppressed by the dragon might and could not unleash its full strength.

It found the human before it strange and feared that azure staff. If it did not leave, it might very well die here, so it decided to flee.

"First soul skill · Nine Strengths of the Azure Dragon!"

Li Fei's first Soul Ring lit up. The purple thousand-year Soul Ring was especially eye-catching. With a low shout, azure flames ignited around the Azure Dragon Staff in his hand. Li Fei's overall strength surged in an instant, and he rushed toward the Black Bear at extreme speed, bringing the staff down on its head!

The first strike increased his original base strength by one hundred percent!

If this strike hit the Black Bear's head, it would surely die beyond doubt!

The Black Bear roared furiously and struck out with one paw, powerful and forceful!

Bang!

Crack!

Even though the Black Bear's body was tougher than that of an ordinary Soul Master, after taking the Azure Dragon Staff barehanded, every bone in its paw shattered.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere as it howled in agony.

The next second, darkness fell over its vision. It looked up and was instantly terrified.

The Azure Dragon Staff had already smashed down onto its head.

Its entire head caved in. The Black Bear's body was blasted away, crashing through tree after tree and rock after rock.

"Damn, that's strong!"

Flender, Li Yusong, and Zhao Wuji, who had been watching, all sucked in a cold breath.

The Black Bear's body turned into a yellow Soul Ring.

"One strike killed it. What a pity to waste such a fine five-hundred-year Soul Ring."

Flender and the others walked over, sighing.

Suddenly, Li Fei felt something stir within him.

He circulated the Azure Dragon Art.

The Azure Dragon Staff flew from his hand.

It flew over and absorbed the yellow Soul Ring into itself.

The next second, Li Fei's first Soul Ring rose to 2,499 years!

This discovery filled Li Fei with delight.

"Xiaofei, what is going on? Why did your staff absorb that Soul Ring?"

Li Yusong asked in confusion.

"I don't know either, but my Soul Ring seems to have increased in age somewhat." Li Fei shook his head, feigning ignorance.

"What a strange mutated Martial Soul. It can even absorb Soul Rings to increase the age of an existing Soul Ring?"

Flender's expression turned serious again. "No one must ever learn about this. Never do this in front of outsiders again. Otherwise, people may regard you as an evil Soul Master, and your situation will become dangerous."

They had not expected the student they had recruited this time to be so troublesome.

Old Li's grandson was simply inhuman. He was far too monstrous.

"I understand, Uncle Flender. I also hope Uncle Flender and Uncle Zhao will keep this secret for me and not tell anyone else, including that theory Grandmaster you mentioned before." Li Fei nodded.

"Don't worry. I understand." Flender nodded.

"Rest assured, my mouth is tighter than anyone's," Zhao Wuji said as well.

"Alright, let's leave quickly." Li Yusong felt somewhat troubled. Having a grandson who was too outstanding was not necessarily a good thing.
