"Chu Feng, you're amazing! What Soul Skill was that? It was so cool!"
The moment they left the Soul Fighting Arena, Xiao Xiao started chattering excitedly at Chu Feng, brimming with curiosity about his Soul Skill.
Wang Dong walked behind them with her arms folded, looking haughty, but her ears had perked up slightly. Clearly, she was curious too.
"It wasn't anything special. Just a special ability of my Body Martial Soul." Chu Feng didn't elaborate, brushing her off with a casual answer.
He wasn't deliberately keeping secrets to show off. He was just worried that if he said too much, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong would feel inferior...
He had two Martial Souls now, and in the future, he might have three, four, or even more. If he had to explain every time, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong probably wouldn't be able to take it. So Chu Feng decided not to make them feel any worse.
"Oh, it's the Body Martial Soul again... Is the Body Martial Soul really that strong?" Xiao Xiao puffed out her cheeks, feeling deeply envious.
With just one Martial Soul, he was already so insanely flashy and powerful. She had Twin Martial Souls, and the two could even work together to release Soul Skills, yet compared to Chu Feng, she was nothing. It was a little discouraging...
"By the way..." Chu Feng suddenly thought of something and took out two Mystic Water Pills, handing one each to Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong.
After all, the Mystic Water Pills were no use to him. He might as well give them to Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong; they'd be teammates from now on. He couldn't pass on his cultivation method, but these pills were no big deal. Letting them go to waste on him would be pointless.
"Ah! These are Mystic Water Pills! No, no, these are too precious..." Xiao Xiao recognized the pills at a glance and hurriedly waved them away.
"Hmph, with my talent, I don't need these pills." Wang Dong felt a little touched, but still wore her usual haughty expression.
"I don't need them either. We'll be teammates from now on. You're both so weak you'll hold me back, so you might as well raise your Soul Power a little." Chu Feng said with a smile.
Chu Feng knew their talents, and the pills wouldn't do much for them. But the Mystic Water Pills could still raise their Soul Power. Better to use them than let them gather dust in his possession. He didn't mind at all. Wang Dong had worked for him for so many days, and Xiao Xiao had helped him plenty, so a little reward was only fair. If you wanted your horses to run, you had to feed them grass. Otherwise, wouldn't he look stingy?
"Who's holding you back!" Wang Dong grumbled, catching the disdain in Chu Feng's words.
In the end, though, they both accepted Chu Feng's Mystic Water Pills.
Chu Feng might not be very tactful, but the gap between their strength and his was enormous. Any increase in Soul Power was better than none. It was a bit of a waste, but the pills were free, so neither of them minded.
At that moment, no one was more heartbroken than Xu Sanshi. If he knew Chu Feng regarded such precious Mystic Water Pills as mere pills for raising Soul Power, he would probably have been so furious he'd cough up blood.
But Xu Sanshi wasn't doing too well just then, either.
"Nannan! Wait up... Nannan, why are you walking so fast..."
Xu Sanshi hurried after Jiang Nannan, wearing an ingratiating smile.
"Get lost." Jiang Nannan shot Xu Sanshi a cold glance, the disgust in her eyes growing more pronounced.
Jiang Nannan's Favorability: -100
"Nannan, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong? I'll change, all right?" Sensing how strange Jiang Nannan was acting that evening, Xu Sanshi shuddered so violently he nearly wet himself.
Usually, no matter how much Jiang Nannan disliked him, she would never speak so crudely. But today she had actually told him to "get lost." Something had definitely gone wrong!
"Hmph! Are you really stupid, or are you pretending?" Jiang Nannan's gaze remained icy. "You're a fourth-year student, and you went and bullied a new student. You've disgraced the entire Shrek Academy!"
"I bullied him????" Xu Sanshi was completely dumbfounded. He was the one who'd been utterly crushed by the other guy and had even lost two Mystic Water Pills. He was clearly the victim, so how had he become the bully???
"Hmph! Still trying to make excuses? If you hadn't kept pushing him, why would a new student have gone out of his way to challenge you?" Jiang Nannan was making no effort to be reasonable. She had already disliked Xu Sanshi, and now she loathed him.
She had been at the Soul Fighting match that evening. What she'd seen was Xu Sanshi acting high and mighty, pleased with himself, and using his strength to bully others. Meanwhile, the new student named Chu Feng had remained calm and composed. That was how a Shrek student should act.
As for Xu Sanshi losing later, it had to be because he'd grown arrogant and complacent. He'd deserved it.
"Ah, I..." Xu Sanshi was utterly devastated. He had never seen Jiang Nannan act so unreasonable. What was going on... Where had things gone wrong??
"Don't come looking for me again. I don't want to see you." Jiang Nannan left him with those final words and walked away without looking back, leaving Xu Sanshi standing there in a daze.
Exhausted after a long day, Chu Feng returned to the dormitory and immediately collapsed into bed.
Wang Dong, meanwhile, rustled around quietly and carefully as she went to take a bath...
Chu Feng's mind entered his sea of consciousness, and he immediately began digesting the "Super-God Level Soul Tool Inheritance."
Soon.
An immense torrent of information surged through Chu Feng's mind, forcibly pouring in all kinds of complex knowledge.
It was like having perfect photographic memory and deciding to memorize the contents of every book in an entire library...
Time passed quickly. The night went by without incident.
Early the next morning, the sunlight spread across the land, bathing the entire dormitory in gold.
Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes. His head was groggy, as if his brain had a ton of junk crammed inside it. He could barely lift his head.
"There's so much information in this Soul Tool inheritance. It nearly blew my head apart..." Chu Feng gave a bitter laugh, feeling rather speechless.
Now that he had received the inheritance, it wouldn't be wrong to call him the greatest Soul Engineer on Douluo Continent. Of course, he was the greatest in theory...
After all, making high-level Soul Tools depended most of all on the various rare materials needed to craft them. For now, he could only make Level Six Soul Tools at best.
Making a Soul Tool required forging its outer shell, much like working as a blacksmith. It took great strength to make the shell.
Besides that, engraving the Soul Tool's core formation required powerful spiritual strength and precise control over Soul Power. His spiritual strength was more than sufficient, but his control over Soul Power still wasn't precise enough to be first-rate.
The inheritance only provided methods and training techniques; it couldn't directly improve his crafting ability. In the short term, it was only of limited use. High-level materials were especially expensive, and they all had to be imported from the Sun Moon Empire at several times the price. With his current wealth, he simply couldn't afford them.
