Self-Created Soul Skill Progress, and the Girl from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!

Creating a new Soul Skill that belonged only to himself was absolutely not something that could be done overnight.

What was more, Dai Chengfeng's standards for the Soul Skill he wanted to create were extremely high.

If it was not top-tier, it had no meaning at all.

Therefore, for the next month or so, Dai Chengfeng traveled by day, and after setting up camp and eating dinner at night, he hurried back to the Tent and read through the records of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer and the Great Sumeru Hammer from beginning to end...

Looking for inspiration.

After all, if he wanted to create a Soul Skill no weaker than the Great Sumeru Hammer, he first had to understand its core mystery: Ring Detonation!

Only now, Even with relatively detailed materials, plus his understanding of the Great Sumeru Hammer from memories of his Previous Life, Dai Chengfeng still had no clue at all.

After all, Ring Detonation sounded simple, but when it came to actual practice, it was riddled with difficulties.

How could he make his Soul Power draw out his Soul Rings?

How could he make a Soul Ring "shine and sublimate" without letting it shatter completely?

How...

There were all kinds of problems, far too many to list.

"No wonder my ancestor failed in his research. It really isn't that simple."

Dai Chengfeng shook his head and looked toward the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

This relatively basic Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, whose key cultivation points had been described in great detail in the Original Work, had already been used by Dai Chengfeng, relying on the "Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer" created by his own ancestor...

To modify it further on that foundation.

An hour later.

"Whew!"

Dai Chengfeng set down the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer in satisfaction. "Now, if nothing unexpected happens, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer I simulated can basically restore eighty to ninety percent of the similarity to the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer in the Original Work..."

"Eighty to ninety percent!"

"That's already enough!"

"Next, there's no need to keep restoring it. Instead, I need to see whether, on this foundation, it can share a different path to the same source as the Great Sumeru Hammer, while also adding my own understanding of martial skills, to create a top-tier Soul Skill that belongs only to me!"

As he thought this, Dai Chengfeng slowly sat cross-legged, Five Energies Towards Origin, and the Innate Skill began to circulate.

He had to create his own Soul Skill, but Dai Chengfeng would not forget to cultivate his own Soul Power either.

Otherwise, Feng Xiaotian would be his cautionary example.

The next morning.

Zhu Fan looked around excitedly, then looked at the Map in his hand and compared the two.

Very soon, he pointed northwest. "Chengfeng, as long as we keep going in that direction now, we can leave the Star Dou Great Forest in a few days at most and fully enter the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Really?"

After traveling through the forest for more than a month straight, dealing with all kinds of mosquitoes and insects, and eating nothing but Rations or roasted Soul Beasts, Now hearing that they were finally about to get out, Dai Chengfeng's eyes lit up.

"Mm!"

Zhu Fan also nodded with an excited smile.

"Then let's set out as soon as possible!"

As Dai Chengfeng spoke, the two of them quickly set off again.

The dense branches and leaves around them blotted out the sky, and mottled patches of light and shadow scattered across the ground.

The wind in the mountains and forest was very strong today, whistling past their ears.

After walking for an unknown length of time, Dai Chengfeng gradually frowned, his face filled with confusion and vigilance.

With the sharp observation of the realm of Microscopic Perception, he discovered that today's journey seemed especially quiet.

In the past, whenever they traveled, even if they were only on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, those fierce or cunning Soul Beasts would always launch attacks on them from time to time, or else set ambushes.

Although in the end, all of them were easily dealt with by Zhu Fan, this Soul Douluo, through his formidable strength...

Still, it should definitely not be as quiet as it was today. There was practically no sign of any Soul Beasts around them.

It was truly strangely eerie.

"Uncle, don't you feel like it's been a little too quiet all along the way today?"

Dai Chengfeng finally could not help speaking up.

Zhu Fan did not stop walking. He only gave a slight nod. "Indeed."

He slowly turned, carefully sizing up their surroundings.

"When we traveled in the past, there were often soul beasts that couldn't hold themselves back and rushed out to harass us. But today, there hasn't been the slightest movement. It's truly abnormal."

"Could there be some powerful soul beast nearby, so all these low-level soul beasts have hidden themselves?"

As Zhu Fan spoke, a trace of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

After all, this was the Star Dou Great Forest, where Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts existed. Even if they were only on the outskirts, no one dared say for certain that they would not happen to run into a powerful soul beast passing through.

If he had been alone, Zhu Fan would not have been too nervous.

After all, if he could not win, he could run.

But now that Dai Chengfeng was with him, he had no choice but to be fully on guard.

When Dai Chengfeng heard this, however, he shook his head. Looking at the faint traces on the fallen leaves around them, a thoughtful look showed in his eyes.

"Hard to say."

"But I'm more inclined to think someone passed through here and happened to draw those soul beasts away—or dealt with them."

As he spoke, Dai Chengfeng pointed at the fallen leaves on one patch of ground.

"This looks like a human footprint..."

"If it's humans, then we need to be even more careful. After all, soul beasts are mostly straightforward, but humans use poison, sneak attacks, schemes..."

Dai Chengfeng nodded. Then the two of them stopped dwelling on it and continued on their way.

Who knew how much longer they walked.

The sun sank westward, and dim yellow afterglow scattered down. The sky in the Star Dou Great Forest had already gradually darkened.

However, Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan still had not seen the party that had left those footprints earlier.

Not until the two of them began setting up camp.

Dai Chengfeng had just put down his pack and was preparing to start a fire when suddenly, faint shouts and the sounds of battle came from not far away.

Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan instantly looked at each other.

"Someone's fighting?" Dai Chengfeng asked.

Zhu Fan nodded, his expression turning serious. "From the sound of it, the battle is pretty fierce. Go take a look?"

"Maybe we can pick up some benefits."

"And besides, it'd be good to confirm whether they're a threat to us."

Dai Chengfeng nodded. "Let's go!"

Immediately, the two of them hurried together toward the direction from which the sounds of battle were coming.

The Star Dou Great Forest under the cover of night was filled with a tense air, as if countless hidden eyes were watching them.

After advancing for about Half Zhuan Xiang, Zhu Fan and Dai Chengfeng stopped.

Not far away, they could already vaguely see a massive Demon Wolf battling a woman who had five Soul Rings beneath her feet and held an iron sword in her hand.

Behind the woman stood a girl dressed in a luxurious silver-white uniform.

At that moment, the girl was holding a pink Begonia Flower in her hands and continuously using Soul Skills to heal the woman fighting the Demon Wolf in front of her.

As the girl's Soul Skills fell, the wounds on the woman's body began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, surprise flashed through Dai Chengfeng's eyes.

He vaguely remembered that the clothes the girl was wearing seemed to be the student uniform of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy from his memories of his previous life.

"A student of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, and her Martial Soul is a pink Begonia Flower..."

"She's clearly only at two rings, yet the healing effect of her Soul Skills is already this powerful?"

Connecting all this together, Dai Chengfeng's eyes instantly lit up. "Does it have to be this coincidental?"
