Hu Liena twitched her delicate nose, her expression turning grave in an instant.
"Qin Feng, watch out!"
"This mist is strange; it can interfere with mental perception."
As the possessor of a fox-type martial soul, Hu Liena was sensitive to this kind of mental illusion.
Qin Feng stopped in his tracks, his gaze piercing through the layers of fog to lock onto a spot beneath a towering ancient tree ahead.
Lying there was a fox with snow-white fur, save for the tips of its three tails, which were a bewitching red.
"A twenty-thousand-year-old Three-Tailed Spirit Fox—it's just right for you."
Qin Feng chuckled, not even considering this illusion, which would have been a headache for an ordinary Soul Ancestor or even a Soul King, worth his concern.
Hu Liena was just about to warn him that this spirit beast was extremely difficult to deal with.
A brilliant golden light erupted from within Qin Feng's body.
His deep purple first soul ring suddenly lit up, the dazzling radiance dispelling the surrounding pink mist completely.
First Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Body!
Dense, brilliant golden dragon scales instantly covered Qin Feng's entire body, and a formidable draconic pressure swept outward like a physical force.
Following that, his deep black soul ring burst into a blinding glow.
Fourth Soul Skill, Thousand-Jin Dragon Fist!
The muscles in Qin Feng's right arm bulged, and violent power compressed frantically at his fist.
He didn't even use teleportation; relying solely on the terrifying speed of his physical body, he transformed into a golden meteor and smashed toward the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox.
The twenty-thousand-year-old Three-Tailed Spirit Fox hadn't even reacted, its cunning eyes filled with terror.
"Awoo—"
Accompanied by a short, shrill cry, the wind pressure stirred up by the Thousand-Jin Dragon Fist slammed heavily into its forehead.
Without even making physical contact, the eyes of this ten-thousand-year-level mental spirit beast rolled back, and it was knocked unconscious on the spot.
A ten-thousand-year spirit beast just fell asleep like that?
Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing stood not far away, watching this absurd scene with their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.
Qin Feng clapped his hands, grabbed the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox by the scruff of its neck as if it were a chick, and tossed it aside.
A white arc traced through the air.
"Thud!"
The heavy body slammed down in front of Hu Liena, causing the surrounding ground to tremble violently.
The size of a ten-thousand-year spirit beast was naturally not small; it was as large as an adult water buffalo.
Yet, in the hands of Qin Feng, who was bolstered by four ten-thousand-year soul rings and a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, it felt as light as a feather.
Hu Liena looked at the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox foaming at the mouth and passed out at her feet, her face full of shock.
"Qin Feng..."
"Is this your current strength?"
Qin Feng helplessly spread his hands, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"I already held back; I only used ten percent of my power just now."
"I have to be careful with my strength, otherwise, one punch would have turned this little fox into a pile of meat, not even leaving a whole corpse."
Hearing this, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing both gasped in unison.
He could knock a ten-thousand-year spirit beast unconscious from a distance using only ten percent of his power?
Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side, her bright eyes filled with adoration.
This was a true heaven-gifted prodigy!
That prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai, who only knew how to spend his days chasing women and would turn tail and run the moment he encountered danger—how could he compare to Qin Feng?
No!
Dai Mubai wasn't even fit to tie Qin Feng's shoes!
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but picture the group from Shrek Academy in her mind.
If it had been that bunch from Shrek here today, facing this ten-thousand-year Three-Tailed Spirit Fox, they would have likely been confused by the illusion and ended up killing each other.
Or perhaps, lacking even the courage to resist, they would have been chased through the forest by this ten-thousand-year spirit beast, looking utterly pathetic.
They would never be like Qin Feng, who resolved the trouble as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.
Hu Liena took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart, and drew a sharp dagger from her waist.
With a swift motion, she cleanly ended the life of the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox.
A black ten-thousand-year soul ring slowly rose from the fox's corpse.
A bright smile appeared on Hu Liena's beautiful face, her eyes brimming with excitement.
"Thank you, Qin Feng!"
"With this ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, my mental control will definitely undergo a qualitative leap."
As long as she absorbed this spirit ring, her future prospects would be absolutely limitless!
Zhu Zhuqing watched silently from the side, her hands clasped together, her eyes revealing a hint of envy.
Qin Feng glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, seemingly seeing through the little kitten's thoughts.
"Rest assured, I won't go back on my word regarding what I promised to help you with."
"Once Hu Liena finishes absorbing her spirit ring, we will go find a suitable prey for you."
Zhu Zhuqing was pleasantly surprised and nodded repeatedly, a flush of red appearing on her cold, aloof cheeks.
Soon, a day passed.
The three of them searched carefully in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
With Qin Feng, a humanoid tyrannosaurus, by their side, any spirit beast that dared to approach was scared off by that terrifying aura of blood and vitality.
It wasn't until evening that they finally discovered a rare ten-thousand-year Shadow Cat Demon in a dark, gloomy canyon.
This Shadow Cat Demon was extremely fast, shuttling through the shadows like a phantom.
If an ordinary Spirit King were to encounter it, they would likely have their throats torn out by its sharp claws before they could even touch its shadow.
But in front of Qin Feng, no matter how fast it was, it was all in vain.
Without any suspense, Qin Feng easily helped Zhu Zhuqing hunt this spirit beast and used his martial soul pressure to assist her in absorbing it.
When Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged and drew that deep, black spirit ring onto herself, her body trembled uncontrollably.
Her third spirit ring was truly of the ten-thousand-year level!
Night fell.
A campfire cast a warm, flickering glow across the forest clearing.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes and exhaled a long breath of stale air; the spirit power fluctuations within her were several times stronger than before.
She stood up and fixed her gaze on Qin Feng, who was sitting by the fire roasting beast meat.
The firelight reflected off Qin Feng's handsome face, making him appear exceptionally charming.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart skipped a beat.
She truly didn't know how to thank Qin Feng enough.
The grace of saving her life, coupled with this incredibly precious ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
This debt of gratitude was too heavy, so heavy that she had no way to repay it.
She twisted the corner of her clothes with slender fingers, her heart filled with conflict and inferiority.
Qin Feng was so powerful, and he had a charming and moving beauty like Hu Liena by his side.
She was just a down-and-out girl abandoned by her family, someone even her fiancé wouldn't spare a glance; would Qin Feng really look at her?
But it was undeniable that this day had been the happiest and most secure time she had ever spent in her life.
There were no cruel schemes from her family, no cold eyes or abandonment from her fiancé, only this man's solid back shielding her from the front.
This tall, upright figure had been deeply branded into the depths of her soul, impossible to erase for the rest of her life.
The time to leave was almost upon them.
Hu Liena stretched, her graceful curves fully revealed under the firelight.
"It's getting late; it's time for us to leave this place."
