Transforming into Human, Shrek City

"The human world? Didn't you say human soul masters are all treacherous, cunning, and evil? Why go to such a dangerous place?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted its head, its mind full of confusion.

"That may be true, but avoidance isn't a solution. Only by understanding human soul masters can we find their weaknesses," Chu Feng continued to bluff.

Sensing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's anxiety, Chu Feng feared this creature might impulsively use a Human Transformation Card to enter the human world. Given the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's naive and goofy nature, he worried it would be butchered for its soul bone in a heartbeat. Chu Feng quickly comforted it: "Don't worry, I won't be gone for long. I'll definitely be back within three years. By then, once I've gotten the hang of the human world, I'll be able to bring you with me."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, previously quite sad, saw its golden eyes light up instantly upon hearing this: "Really! You aren't lying to me, are you..."

"Of course it's true. I swear, if I'm lying to you, I'll..."

"Awoo~ That's great~ I believe you~ slurp slurp slurp~"

Before Chu Feng could finish his sentence, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion pounced on him, frantically licking his face with its tongue.

"Alright, alright, stop it... You're the Emperor Auspicious Beast, after all. Can't you be a bit more reserved?" Chu Feng wiped the saliva off his face, his forehead covered in black lines.

"Hehe~ I was just too happy~"

"By the way, what does 'reserved' mean?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion quickly rolled off Chu Feng, shrank its neck slightly, and asked curiously.

" 'Reserved' means... you have to live up to your status and position. You are the Emperor Auspicious Beast; all soul beasts must bow down before you. You need to be more imposing..."

Chu Feng didn't know how else to explain it, so he could only say this.

Although the feeling of being licked wasn't bad, he still had to correct it.

"But you're different from them! You also have the bloodline of an Auspicious Beast in your body. Both you and I are favorites of heaven and earth, and besides..." As the Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke, it lowered its head, muttering something unintelligible, but it looked quite nervous.

Chu Feng glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said nothing more.

After all, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was too simple-minded. It had barely had any contact with humans and had always been well-protected by the great fierce beasts.

No matter how many years it had lived, its mind remained as simple as a child's. In human terms, it was just a goofy simpleton, very easy to trick.

However, this was a tradition on the Douluo Continent that hadn't changed in a million years...

A certain rabbit, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Silver Dragon King, the Ice Empress, and so on—the moment they encountered humans, they would be tricked into a limp.

Three days later.

A youth dressed in exquisite animal hide walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The youth was about 1.7 meters tall with a straight, upright figure. A mop of black, shaggy hair fell casually over his forehead. His skin was fair yet retained a masculine edge, and his smile gave people a feeling of a spring breeze—a truly sunny, cheerful boy.

This person was none other than Chu Feng, who had transformed into human form.

Chu Feng checked his system attribute panel and was very satisfied:

[Name: Chu Feng]
[Bone Age: 12 years old]
[Level: 30]
[Innate Abilities: Luck, Acting Cute]
[Cultivation Methods: God and Demon Body Tempering Art (LV1), Star Contemplation Method (LV1)]
[Martial Soul: Body]
[First Soul Ring (Purple) Soul Skill: God and Demon Body]
[Second Soul Ring (Black) Soul Skill: Glory of the Stars]

When a soul beast transforms, its cultivation is wiped clean.

Back then, after Wang Qiu'er transformed, it took her over five years to reach level 60.

Chu Feng, however, had the system-rewarded "Human Transformation Card." He converted a small portion of his cultivation into level 30 soul power; after all, if his cultivation were too low, he might not be able to cause trouble at Shrek, which would be troublesome.

Immediately after hunting two soul beasts to obtain his soul rings, he injected the remaining cultivation into the rings. The first soul ring was nearly 9,999 years old; after activating the soul skill, it increased his physical strength by 999.9%, nearly 10 times, perfectly matching the God and Demon Body Tempering Art.

The second soul ring was nearly 88,888 years old; after activating the soul skill, it could release mental pressure within a radius of 8,888.8 meters, equivalent to mental interference, only with a range that was a "billion" times larger and an effect that was a "trillion" times stronger, perfectly matching his Star Contemplation Method.

As for why he chose his own body as his martial soul, it was because he practiced the God and Demon Body Tempering Art. Although he had only just entered the threshold, his physical body would be his most powerful asset in the future, so naturally, choosing a Body Martial Soul was the most advantageous path.

Moreover, don't let his level 30 fool you; his physical strength should be around level 50, and his mental strength was in a similar range.

Part of this came from his cultivation method, and the other part from system rewards.

As for the "Black and White Bear" martial soul... it was trash; even a dog wouldn't want it.

Besides that, in the system's storage space, he still had the Ultimate Wood Core and the Ultimate Fire core. These two cores could also be used as martial souls after absorption, but he didn't have time to obtain soul rings for them now; he would deal with that later if the need arose.

If he wanted to, he could be a triple-martial soul user.

However, in Chu Feng's view, having more martial souls was useless. Improving the quality and level of his soul power was the path to invincibility. Of course, he would eventually have to comprehend the laws to become a god, and all of this could be handled by a high-level cultivation method. Practicing cultivation methods was the correct path.

Tang San was able to span several eras with just one martial arts world internal energy technique, the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Chu Feng, on the other hand, was practicing a cultivation method from a high-level fantasy plane. While it might be a bit difficult to practice, it was absolutely a dimensional strike on the Douluo Continent.

If I were granted one hundred Ultimate Attribute Martial Souls, while I reached the level 99 Limit Douluo within five years of cultivating my technique, how would you respond to that, Your Excellency?

After emerging from the Star Dou Great Forest, Chu Feng encountered a few rogue Spirit Masters and quickly ascertained the location of Shrek Academy.

The next morning, at the first light of dawn.

After trekking across mountains and rivers, Chu Feng finally caught sight of a massive city.

Shrek City was established on the Lima Plain, covering an incredibly vast area. It was situated roughly at the intersection of the Three Great Empires, yet it was not required to pay any taxes to them; furthermore, it could levy its own taxes, holding a transcendent status.

With Chu Feng's talent, he certainly met the requirements to enter Shrek Academy.

However, to join Shrek, one still needed a credential: a City Lord's Recommendation Letter or higher.

This was primarily to prevent spies from the Sun Moon Continent from infiltrating...

Chu Feng was not worried, though; as long as one had money, this sort of thing could definitely be obtained. Where there is light, there is shadow, though it would take some time to inquire about it.

When he left the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had scrounged up over three hundred Gold Soul Coin for him. Many of the Gold Soul Coin were stained with blood and gave off a strange odor; one look told him they had been scavenged...

Just as Chu Feng was preparing to enter Shrek City, the Survival System, which had been playing dead for a long time, suddenly sprang to life:

[Survival System: Detected that the host has discovered Shrek City. It is recommended that the host join Shrek.]

[Temporary Item: City Lord's Recommendation Letter, 10 Gold Soul Coin]

Seeing the item provided by the system, Chu Feng laughed on the spot.

"Good fellow, this Survival System has finally wised up~"

To say this Survival System was useful... compared to the Shock System, the former was worth less than a fart.

To say it was useless... sometimes it would suddenly pop up to assert its presence and provide a small surprise.

With the recommendation letter, Chu Feng could save himself quite a bit of trouble.

PS: That is how the Douluo setting works; when a Spirit Beast takes human form, its cultivation resets to zero.
