Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Empowered by Soul Power, nine short swords shot toward the Blood-Eyed Moon Spirit Beast like lightning. Their terrifying blades tore through the air with sharp whistles.
The nine short swords formed a triangular formation. The instant the Blood-Eyed Moon Spirit Beast released its red light, the first short sword shot straight into its bloody eye.
"Awooo..."
The Blood-Eyed Moon Spirit Beast let out a miserable roar. Its entire eye bulged as a golden beam laced with red light shot toward Yu Xiaofeng and the Grandmaster.
The other eight short swords coming head-on were all knocked away by the golden light. The beam was about to strike the two of them.
Yu Xiaofeng stepped forward and stood in front of the Grandmaster. "Divine Realm Shield."
"Buzz..."
An invisible barrier of Soul Power enveloped them both.
Warmth flickered through Yu Xiaogang's shocked eyes. At such a life-or-death moment, his student had actually used his body to shield him. How could he not be moved?
Then he heard Yu Xiaofeng's voice again. "Divine Realm Shield?"
He felt much more at ease. It seemed his student's abilities were far more than they appeared on the surface.
While the Grandmaster was lost in thought, the golden beam slammed into Yu Xiaofeng's Divine Realm Shield. A thunderous explosion rang out, echoing throughout the entire Withered Wood Forest.
Yu Xiaofeng and the Grandmaster were blasted away. Coughing blood, Yu Xiaofeng was grabbed by the Grandmaster, who fled into the distance with him.
In midair, the Blood-Eyed Moon Spirit Beast had unleashed all its Soul Power into that golden beam the instant its blood-red eye was shattered, intending to perish together with its enemies. Yet in the end, only it crashed unwillingly to the ground.
Dust flew up from the ground. The Blood-Eyed Moon Spirit Beast flapped its wings a few times before dying in unwillingness.
A yellow Soul Ring rose from the Blood-Eyed Moon Spirit Beast's body.
Yu Xiaogang looked from afar and said excitedly to Yu Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, how are you? The Blood-Eyed Moon Spirit Beast is dead. As long as you absorb it within an hour, you can advance to Great Soul Master."
Yu Xiaofeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Teacher, I'm fine."
The Soul Ring circled Yu Xiaofeng's body before merging into him. A tyrannical surge of Soul Power struck him, making his body sway unsteadily.
Trembling, he opened his mouth and let out a roar. His hair sprang upright, and objects continuously flew toward Yu Xiaofeng.
Yu Xiaogang stared at Yu Xiaofeng in astonishment. "Xiaofeng, did your second Soul Ring awaken Gravity?"
After a while, Yu Xiaofeng opened his eyes. A flash of golden light passed through them before he slowly rose to his feet and said to Yu Xiaogang, "My second Soul Ring awakened Gravity. Also, the bloody eye caused some mutation in my Rebirth Eye."
"If nothing unexpected happens, my second Soul Ring skill should be able to evolve into another skill."
Yu Xiaogang smiled. "Good, excellent."
"Let's go back to Nuoding Academy."
Along the way, Yu Xiaofeng kept thinking about Gravity. Before he knew it, he realized that if he gathered enough short swords, he might truly be able to form Sword Rain.
It looked like he needed to visit the Auction House. Fortunately, the old man had given him quite a few Golden Soul Coins.
Elsewhere.
"Your Holiness the Pope, Yu Xiaofeng and Yu Xiaogang have returned from Soul Hunting Forest, and he has obtained his second Soul Ring."
"Yu Xiaogang has not contacted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for the time being. Judging from his attitude, he does not seem anxious to uncover his identity."
"Additionally, Chen Hao attempted to ambush Yu Xiaofeng. The two fought to a draw and left seriously injured."
Ghost Douluo gave his report. Qian Daoliu nodded, then asked suspiciously, "Chen Hao fought Yu Xiaofeng to a draw?"
"Could he be hiding some secret?"
Ghost Douluo said, "He was a level twenty-one Great Soul Master at the time. I don't think a draw is anything worth discussing."
Qian Daoliu frowned. "That boy Yu Xiaofeng looks honest and simple, but I always feel that something is off about him."
"Keep a close watch on his movements. I want to see exactly what secrets he has."
Yu Xiaofeng was currently planning to head to Suo Tuo City. There was an Auction House and a Martial Arena there, and he intended to use another identity to hone his Eight Trigrams Palm: Heavenly Rotation Sixty-Four Palms.
But a knock at the door interrupted his thoughts...
The door opened, and Yu Xiaogang entered with a handsome young boy. Yu Xiaogang said to Yu Xiaofeng, "This is my new student. His name is Tang San. He is younger than you, so take good care of him from now on."
Yu Xiaofeng got out of bed and met Tang San's gaze, excitement in his eyes. This was the idol of countless people from his previous life.
I didn't expect to overlap with the historical timeline so quickly. I wonder whether that was good or bad.
He immediately laughed heartily. "My name is Yu Xiaofeng. From now on, you can follow me."
He then placed a hand on Tang San's shoulder. Tang San had not expected Yu Xiaofeng to be so easygoing, and he replied, "Brother Feng, hello."
After the three chatted for a while, Yu Xiaogang left the room with Tang San.
Tang San had arrived late, so according to the academy's rules, he was supposed to live in the communal dormitory with the teachers and students.
Two nights later, Yu Xiaofeng was preparing to find Tang San for a spar. Who would have thought that, halfway there, he would see Little San fighting a girl.
The girl had a small face and a pair of pink rabbit ears. Yu Xiaofeng immediately understood. So this was that part.
"Little San, he's going to sneak attack you."
Yu Xiaofeng warned him.
Hearing Yu Xiaofeng's reminder, Tang San spun backward and slid away, dodging Xiao Wu's strike.
Xiao Wu asked angrily, "Who are you?"
Yu Xiaofeng said, "Who I am isn't important. Can't you tell that Little San has been letting you win the entire time?"
"Your braid is pretty nice. They say rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. Little San, you'd better be careful."
Having her identity exposed, Xiao Wu stomped the ground in anger and leaped into the air. Her figure flashed as she charged straight at Yu Xiaofeng.
Tang San said with a bitter smile, "Brother Feng, go easy on her."
Yu Xiaofeng nodded. Just as he was about to make a move, a familiar voice sounded from his left.
"Who are you to hit my person? You think you can hit even a stupid idiot? You ugly hag, you're courting death!"
Hu Liena charged out from the distance and struck at Xiao Wu with a palm.
Xiao Wu was instantly sent flying back by Hu Liena's palm. Yu Xiaofeng and Tang San exchanged a glance, then each stepped forward to stop Hu Liena and Xiao Wu.
Yu Xiaofeng said in utter confusion, "Damn it, why are you here?"
Hu Liena shot him an unhappy glare. "Can't I come? You were about to get beaten up. If I hadn't come, people would think you were easy to bully."
"Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. If she dares hit you, she's disrespecting me."
Yu Xiaofeng nearly spat blood. "What do you mean, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner? Since when did I become a dog?"
Tang San held Xiao Wu back at the side. After explaining for quite a while, he finally persuaded her not to attack again. Yet the looks she and Hu Liena exchanged made it clear that neither intended to let the matter rest.
Yu Xiaofeng shook his head, grabbed Hu Liena's hand, and said, "Nana, come on. I'll take you out for a walk. I heard there's a beautiful place nearby, and fireflies happen to be out around this time."
Hu Liena became interested the moment she heard that. She instantly forgot about Xiao Wu and left with Yu Xiaofeng.
Xiao Wu drooped her ears in a huff and said to Tang San, "I want to see fireflies too. Hmph!"
