Ling Feng's Soul Skill

In a small soul fighting arena within Spirit City.

Yu Xiaogang dawdled, finally stepping onto the stage.

A purple-robed bishop whispered a reminder: "Ling Feng, do not actually kill him!"

"Although our Spirit Hall does not fear the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he is, after all, the son of their clan leader. If he were to die in Spirit City, I fear it would incite the Upper Three Sects to harbor rebellious intentions."

"Bishop, I understand. I will spare his life!" Ling Feng nodded.

Ling Feng also stepped onto the small arena, looking at Yu Xiaogang opposite him without the slightest sense of tension.

After all, he knew Yu Xiaogang's soul skills like the back of his hand, yet Yu Xiaogang knew absolutely nothing of his own.

"Yu Xiaogang, you slandered me as a fraud; I had no need to prove anything to you!"

"But I, Ling Feng, act with integrity. Now, I will let you witness the power of my third soul skill!"

"You claim the soul fight is unfair? Very well, I shall yield one soul skill to you. Let's see what you have to say then!"

As soon as Ling Feng finished speaking, he activated his martial soul avatar, and the phantom of a Demon Spider appeared behind him.

The ten-thousand-year third soul ring at his feet lit up, and the Demon Spider phantom immediately erupted with an intense surge of soul power.

The phantom opened its maw and spat, a ray of black soul power condensing into a line, shooting straight toward the open ground of the arena.

With a 'boom,' the ray struck the ground and immediately triggered a violent explosion, with the Light of Death spreading outward.

This soul skill was named Light of Death; it contained the venom of the death spider, and upon striking an enemy, it would immediately trigger a soul power explosion.

Anyone hit by this skill, even if they managed to withstand the force of the explosion, would be engulfed by the death spider venom, their flesh rotting and bones dissolving.

"This power... is it truly a ten-thousand-year soul skill? Even if I were to break through to become a Soul Elder or even a Soul Ancestor, I wouldn't be able to withstand this move, would I?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the large crater in the ground, his clothes soaked in cold sweat.

He felt the threat of death within this soul skill.

"However, he is only a Soul Elder. After unleashing a ten-thousand-year soul skill, how much soul power can he have left?"

"He is too arrogant and underestimates his opponent. Next, I might have a chance to win!" Yu Xiaogang thought with a clear head.

This soul skill was cast with extreme speed, making it impossible to guard against, so Ling Feng did not mind exposing it.

After casting the skill, Ling Feng looked at Yu Xiaogang and said, "Yu Xiaogang, I will let you make the first move. Summon your martial soul!"

"Hmph, it's not yet decided who will win or lose!" Yu Xiaogang regained his bravado.

He summoned his martial soul, and a large purple dog with the appearance of a fat pig appeared.

Ling Feng took one look and felt his eyes burning.

"What a fat pig; it really suits its master!" Ling Feng mocked.

"Hmph, don't get cocky too early!"

Yu Xiaogang focused his mind, and the soul ring at Luo Sanpao's feet lit up. He chanted, "Farts like thunder, shaking the heavens and splitting the earth, Luo Sanpao!"

"You still need to chant a mantra? In that time, I could have killed you three times over!" Ling Feng sneered.

Ling Feng focused his mind, and the second yellow soul ring at his feet lit up.

[Demon Spider Sting]

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish chanting his soul skill, more than a dozen spider stings suddenly appeared at Luo Sanpao's feet, firmly wrapping around him.

These spider legs were like sharp scythes, the black bristles on them like steel needles.

The spider stings coiled around Luo Sanpao and twisted with force, instantly shredding the defensive light on his body.

The spider legs pierced into Luo Sanpao's body, and his form withered in an instant.

Just as Yu Xiaogang finished his chant, he saw Luo Sanpao transform into a ray of soul power and return to his body.

He suffered the backlash from Luo Sanpao, who brought the damage and the death spider venom back into his body.

"Pfft!" Yu Xiaogang spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning a bruised purple—he had been poisoned by the death spider venom.

Ling Feng's second soul skill was derived from a Crypt Demon Spider.

The Crypt Demon Spider's skills excelled in being impossible to guard against, with an extremely fast casting speed; how could Yu Xiaogang's external martial soul possibly defend against it?

This soul skill originally had little toxicity, but after Ling Feng absorbed his third soul ring, his Demon Spider martial soul seemed to have become tainted with some death spider venom.

Thus, this second soul skill also benefited, its power increasing significantly.

"Hmph, you couldn't even withstand one of my soul skills. What a piece of trash!" Ling Feng said with disdain.

Ling Feng still had a first soul skill, named [Demon Spider Rage], obtained from a Mutated Demon Spider.

This soul skill could increase all his stats by fifty percent, but against Yu Xiaogang, there was absolutely no need to use it.

Hearing the word "trash," Yu Xiaogang was overcome with rage, and combined with the death spider venom in his system, he immediately fainted.

"This... what a fine soul skill!" the purple-robed bishop praised.

"I didn't expect your soul skill to be so perfectly suited to your martial soul. I wonder which master taught you?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment; Bibi Dong could probably be considered his teacher.

If not for her sacrifice, the power of this spirit skill of his would not have reached such a magnitude.

Therefore, Ling Feng replied, "Bishop, my teacher was indeed a powerhouse, but she has already passed away!"

Is this guy talking about me? Hmph! How dare he curse me?

Bibi Dong realized Ling Feng was referring to her and felt somewhat displeased, even though she truly had died.

However, Bibi Dong was also astonished; she had not expected Ling Feng to be able to cultivate and develop his spirit to this extent entirely on his own.

It seems I underestimated him before. I shall have a good discussion with him about spirit theory later to see how he cultivates!

As for Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong did not speak up to ask Ling Feng to save him.

Because she knew that this purple-robed bishop would not let anything happen to Yu Xiaogang here.

The purple-robed bishop sighed with regret, "Such an expert has passed away? What a pity. If only they could have joined Spirit Hall!"

"Very well, your grievances are settled. I shall take you to report to the Spirit Academy!"

The purple-robed bishop had people take Yu Xiaogang away for treatment, while he personally took Ling Feng to handle the enrollment procedures at the Spirit Academy.

"Ling Feng, what spirit beasts did you absorb your first and second spirit rings from?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.

In her past life, her spirits were the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor, both of which were top-tier spirits.

Possessing such spirits, she had no need for any reservations when absorbing spirit rings.

In any case, the quality of those spirit beasts could not compare to her spirits; they would all be assimilated and influenced by her spirits, making her path of cultivation smooth and unobstructed.

Thus, she never needed to study much spirit theory; this was what a true genius was.

Yet, the spirit Ling Feng awakened was merely a Demon Spider. If he were to cultivate like Bibi Dong, he would likely end up like Yu Xiaogang, stuck at a certain realm.

"Senior, my first two spirit rings came from a Mutated Demon Spider and a Crypt Demon Spider, respectively," Ling Feng answered truthfully.

"Oh? Why must you insist on absorbing the spirit rings of Demon Spider-type spirit beasts?" Bibi Dong had noticed a pattern.

In truth, Ling Feng was cultivating his own spirit as if it were a spirit beast.

Since he wanted to progress, he naturally had to move toward the bloodline of a Spider Emperor; absorbing the spirit rings of Demon Spider-type beasts was, of course, to supplement his origin.
