Rebirth Eye and Soul Rings

"Second Prince! Second Prince!"

The middle-aged man held Chen Hao in his arms and called out to him repeatedly.

Chen Hao slowly opened his eyes and said to the middle-aged man, "Send me back to the Empire. I..."

Before he could finish speaking,

Chen Hao passed out, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

This battle was the first true clash between the two. Although Yu Xiaofeng had won, he had also recognized his own shortcomings. Chen Hao, meanwhile, realized his own weakness: his understanding of repulsion.

In Grandmaster's room at Nuoding Academy, Yu Xiaogang looked at the frail boy and wondered, "His Soul Power is almost completely depleted. Who would be so ruthless toward a child?"

Yu Xiaofeng slowly woke from the bed. Looking at the flat-haired middle-aged man before him, he asked, "Did you save me?"

Yu Xiaogang slowly turned around and nodded. "I found you at the entrance to Nuoding Academy. You were lying on the ground then, badly injured."

Remembering Old Wu's earlier words, Yu Xiaofeng felt somewhat embarrassed. Experience truly came with age.

Old Wu had said this at the time: "Xiaofeng, are you sure you want to use His Holiness the Pope Bibi Dong's connections to find that Grandmaster?"

Without Old Wu's advice, things might not have gone so smoothly. After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaofeng said, "Thank you, Uncle, for saving my life."

Yu Xiaogang said, "You merely exhausted too much Soul Power. Even if I hadn't saved you, you wouldn't have died. I assume you came to Nuoding Academy to study. What is your name?"

"I did indeed come to study. My name is Yu Xiaofeng."

Yu Xiaogang looked at him strangely. "My name is Yu Xiaogang. Everyone calls me Grandmaster. What a coincidence—we both have the surname Yu."

Seeing his awkwardness, Yu Xiaogang immediately changed the subject. "Your Soul Power is very strong. What is your martial soul?"

Yu Xiaofeng slowly circulated his Soul Power, and the Rebirth Eye appeared out of thin air behind him. In an instant, the entire room transformed into an endless starry sky. Yu Xiaogang stared in shock, his eyes dull as he stood rooted to the spot.

"A body martial soul? I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would see such a special body martial soul."

Yu Xiaogang stared at Yu Xiaofeng in astonishment, sensing his martial soul before speaking again. "Your eyes are very special. If you choose your soul rings well, the power they grant after fusion will be even greater."

"Are you willing to become my student?"

Yu Xiaofeng froze for a moment. After all, he had come specifically to find Grandmaster as his teacher. He immediately nodded. "This student, Yu Xiaofeng, greets Teacher."

Yu Xiaogang was extremely excited. To take in a student with a body martial soul truly made him very happy.

As Yu Xiaofeng fully released his Soul Power, a golden soul ring rose from beneath his feet and slowly floated upward.

"A century-limit soul ring?"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened, his face filled with shock. Before he had even recovered from the shock of the body martial soul, the sight of a century-limit soul ring refreshed his understanding once again.

Amid his shock, Yu Xiaogang realized that this child before him might not be as simple as he appeared.

Yu Xiaofeng looked at Yu Xiaogang, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Hearing Yu Xiaofeng call to him, Yu Xiaogang said, "Your martial soul is rather special. I'll handle your enrollment first. Stay here and recover for now. I'll come see you another day."

After Yu Xiaogang left, Yu Xiaofeng devoted himself to cultivation. Over the next three months, Yu Xiaogang came several times. Every visit, he left with a bitter smile amid shock, envy, and sighs.

That day, Yu Xiaogang once again came to Yu Xiaofeng's door. The moment he pushed it open, he found Yu Xiaofeng's aura steady and his Soul Power abundant. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that his Soul Power had actually reached level 20.

"Y-you... What kind of cultivation speed is this? It's only been a few months!"

Yu Xiaogang spoke in astonishment, excitement shining in his eyes.

Yu Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly. "Teacher, you're here. Maybe my martial soul is somewhat special, so I cultivate faster than usual."

Yu Xiaogang smiled. "Xiaofeng, your martial soul is rather special. If you only seek soul rings centered around repulsion and Gravity, those two soul skills may become incredibly powerful, but that would waste the abilities of the soul rings."

"Your first soul ring did not grant you a soul skill. It merely strengthened the abilities your Rebirth Eye already possessed. If you alter your choice of soul rings, your martial soul may not only have the potential to mutate, but you could also gain an additional soul ring skill."

"Spirit beasts that control Gravity and repulsion are not common, but neither are they rare. Though they are what you most urgently need, spirit beasts that attack through their eyes are also an excellent choice for you. Therefore, I intend for your second soul ring to come from a Moon Spirit Beast or a Blood Eye Spirit Beast."

"Moon Spirit Beast? Blood Eye Spirit Beast?"

Yu Xiaofeng murmured in confusion. He thought of the Sharingan. Could Blood Eye Spirit Beasts be spirit beasts similar to the Sharingan?

Seeing Yu Xiaofeng muttering to himself, Yu Xiaogang continued, "Moon Spirit Beasts are relatively small. Their bodies resemble eggplants, with a pair of feathered wings on their backs. Their wings resemble demon wings. Their entire body has only one eye at the front, and that eye has an inner and outer ring."

"The outer eye is golden and can release a beam of golden light. The inner eye is brown and can protrude. When it protrudes, there is a red grain in its center. The protruding inner eye can cause enemies to lose their minds for several seconds, while the grain can release a red mist."

"This Moon Spirit Beast is quite compatible with your body martial soul."

Yu Xiaofeng looked at Grandmaster, his heart surging with excitement. As expected of the person with the strongest spirit beast theories on Douluo Continent. Based on what he had said, his martial soul would likely become even stronger.

Excited, he asked anxiously, "Teacher, what about the Blood Eye Spirit Beast?"

Yu Xiaogang smiled. "Don't rush. Let's talk as we walk."

The two left the room, hailed a carriage, and headed toward the Soul Hunting Forest.

Inside the carriage,

"Teacher, where are we going?"

Yu Xiaofeng asked suspiciously, because this direction differed from the direction of the Star Dou Forest that he knew.

Yu Xiaogang said, "We're going to the Soul Hunting Forest. It has the spirit beasts you need. Once we get there, make sure you don't run around."

An hour later, the two got out of the carriage. Yu Xiaogang took out a token and said, "This token is a pass to enter the Soul Hunting Forest. Once you register as a soul master at Spirit Hall, you can have a token too, though its design will differ from mine."

"The token bearing a dragon design is the exclusive token of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Those without tokens cannot enter the Soul Hunting Forest. Of course, you can also enter as part of a group."

Yu Xiaofeng nodded and did not ask further. After all, he understood all this information.

Yu Xiaofeng followed Yu Xiaogang onward. Many people along the roadside were looking for teams, calling out in twos and threes. The sight was quite novel.

"Teacher, what does a Blood Eye Spirit Beast look like?"

As they walked, Yu Xiaofeng asked Grandmaster.

"Blood Eye Spirit Beasts are rather rare. We'll discuss it after we enter the Soul Hunting Forest."

Yu Xiaogang left him in suspense and walked toward the guards at the entrance.
