"Chu Feng, you're so amazing! What was that soul skill? It was so cool!"
As soon as they stepped out of the Soul Fighting Arena, Xiao Xiao was buzzing around Chu Feng, brimming with curiosity about his soul skill.
Wang Dong stood behind them with her arms crossed, looking haughty, though her ears were slightly perked—clearly, she was just as curious.
"It's nothing special, just a unique ability of my Body Martial Soul." Chu Feng didn't elaborate, brushing it off with a casual remark.
It wasn't that he was intentionally hiding things to act cool; he just feared that if he said too much, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong would feel inferior.
Right now, he possessed Twin Martial Souls, and in the future, he would likely have three, four, or even more. If he had to explain himself every single time, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong would surely be unable to handle it, so Chu Feng decided it was better not to discourage them.
"Oh, it's a Body Martial Soul again... Are Body Martial Souls really that strong?" Xiao Xiao pouted, feeling quite envious.
Someone else's single martial soul was already so flashy and overpowered, and while she had Twin Martial Souls that could even combine to unleash soul skills, compared to Chu Feng, she felt like nothing. It was a bit of a blow to her confidence.
"Right..." Chu Feng suddenly remembered something and took out two Mystic Water Pills, handing them to Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong respectively.
After all, these Mystic Water Pills were useless to him, so he might as well give them to Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong. They were teammates now; while he couldn't easily pass on his cultivation techniques, these pills were no big deal, and letting them go to waste in his hands would be a shame.
"Ah! This is a Mystic Water Pill? No, no, no, this is too precious..." Xiao Xiao recognized the pill at a glance and hurriedly waved her hands to refuse.
"Hmph, with my talent, this pill is useless to me." Although Wang Dong felt a little touched, she maintained her haughty expression.
"I don't need them either. We're teammates now; if your strength is too weak, you'll just hold me back. Every bit of soul power helps," Chu Feng said with a smile.
Chu Feng naturally knew their talents and that taking the Mystic Water Pill wouldn't do much, but the pills did have the effect of increasing soul power. Rather than letting them gather dust, he might as well use them; he didn't feel a shred of regret. After all, Wang Dong had been working for him for days, and Xiao Xiao had helped him quite a bit, so giving them a reward was only right. If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it, right? Otherwise, wouldn't he just look stingy?
"Who's holding you back!" Wang Dong noticed the disdain in Chu Feng's words and grumbled, clearly dissatisfied.
However, the two of them eventually accepted the Mystic Water Pills.
Although Chu Feng wasn't very good with words, the gap in strength between them was simply too vast. Any increase in soul power was better than nothing. Even if it felt a bit wasteful, it was a freebie, so they didn't feel too bad about taking them.
The one who would feel the most pain right now was Xu Sanshi. If he knew that Chu Feng treated such precious Mystic Water Pills as mere soul-power-boosting snacks, he would likely be angered to the point of vomiting blood.
But at this moment, Xu Sanshi's situation wasn't looking too good either.
"Nannan! Wait for me... Why are you walking so fast, Nannan..."
Xu Sanshi hurried to catch up with Jiang Nannan, wearing a fawning expression.
"Get lost." Jiang Nannan shot a cold glance at Xu Sanshi, the look of disgust in her eyes becoming increasingly obvious.
Jiang Nannan Favorability -100.
"Nannan, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Can't I just change?" Sensing Jiang Nannan's unusual behavior tonight, Xu Sanshi's burly frame shuddered; he was nearly scared out of his wits.
Usually, no matter how much Jiang Nannan disliked him, she would never be this rude. But today, she had told him to "get lost" directly—something must have gone wrong!
"Hmph! Are you truly stupid, or are you just playing dumb?" Jiang Nannan's gaze remained icy. "You're a fourth-year student, yet you went to bully a freshman. You've brought shame upon the entire Shrek Academy!"
"I bullied him????" Xu Sanshi was completely bewildered. It was clearly he who had been utterly crushed by the other party, and he had even lost two Mystic Water Pills. He was the victim here! How did he become the aggressor???
"Hmph! Still trying to argue? If you hadn't been so aggressive, why would a freshman have nothing better to do than challenge you?" Jiang Nannan was being completely unreasonable. She had already disliked Xu Sanshi, but now she was truly disgusted.
She had been present at the soul fighting match that evening. What she saw was Xu Sanshi's arrogance, his smugness, and his use of strength to suppress others. Meanwhile, the freshman named Chu Feng had remained calm and composed, facing everything with indifference—that was how a Shrek student should behave.
As for Xu Sanshi losing later on, it must have been because of his own pride and complacency. He deserved to lose.
"Ah, this, I..." Xu Sanshi was completely broken. He had never seen Jiang Nannan be this unreasonable. Why was this happening... where had things gone wrong??
"Don't come looking for me again. I don't want to see you." Jiang Nannan left those final words and walked away without looking back, leaving Xu Sanshi alone in the wind, utterly disheveled.
Exhausted from the day, Chu Feng returned to his dorm and went straight to sleep.
Wang Dong, meanwhile, was rustling about, carefully opening the water valve to prepare for a bath...
Chu Feng's consciousness entered his sea of consciousness, immediately beginning to digest the "Super-God Level Soul Tool Inheritance."
Soon.
An immensely vast stream of information began to wash over Chu Feng's brain, forcibly instilling all sorts of complex knowledge.
It was like having a photographic memory and deciding to memorize the contents of an entire library all at once...
Time passed quickly, and the night went by without incident.
Early the next morning, the morning sun spilled across the earth, dyeing the entire dormitory a golden yellow.
Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes. His head felt heavy and dizzy, as if a ton of trash had been dumped into his brain, almost making it impossible for him to lift his head.
"The content of this soul tool inheritance is truly too much; it almost exploded my brain..." Chu Feng gave a bitter smile, feeling somewhat speechless.
Having accepted the inheritance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was now the number one Soul Engineer on the Douluo Continent—theoretically, of course.
After all, to craft high-level soul tools, the most important thing was the various rare materials required. Currently, he could only craft up to a Level 6 soul tool at most.
Crafting a soul tool required forging the outer shell, which was like blacksmithing; it required immense strength to forge the casing.
Beyond that, engraving the core arrays of a soul tool required powerful spiritual power and precise control over soul power. He had enough spiritual power, but he couldn't yet achieve top-tier precision in soul power control.
The inheritance only provided the methods and training techniques; it couldn't directly improve his crafting level. In the short term, it was somewhat of a white elephant, especially since high-level materials were extremely expensive and had to be imported from the Sun Moon Empire, with prices marked up several times over. With his current net worth, he couldn't afford them at all.
