For Yu Xiaofeng, helping someone absorb a soul ring was definitely a first. His understanding was simple: as long as the body could withstand the soul ring's power, the soul ring would naturally merge with it.
But while it sounded simple, putting it into practice was extremely difficult. The mental agony involved was not something an ordinary person could endure.
Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma stood nearby, their eyes full of worry. After all, Yiran was the apple of their eye.
Yu Xiaofeng circulated his Soul Power and condensed it in his right hand. Strands of green light wrapped around it.
Seeing that Yiran had drawn the soul ring above her head, Yu Xiaofeng immediately sent the green Spirit Ball gathered in his hand into her body.
A tyrannical yet yin-like force swept through his mind, but to Yu Xiaofeng, it was nothing more than a light drizzle.
"Yiran, relax. Focus on merging with the soul ring. Leave everything else to me."
Yu Xiaofeng's voice rang in Meng Yiran's mind. With no distracting thoughts, Yiran focused entirely on the immense power brought by the soul ring.
Her trembling body and pained expression made Snake Grandma and Dragon Duke clench their hearts tightly.
But in the next moment, Meng Yiran let out a miserable cry, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Just as Dragon Duke was about to use his Soul Power to assist her—
Meng Yiran's soul ring slowly contracted into her body. A dazzling glow flashed, and Meng Yiran opened her eyes.
A faint smile filled her eyes, while a beautiful crescent formed at the corners of her lips. Meng Yiran was fine.
However, Yu Xiaofeng was severely injured and had expended a great amount of Soul Power. His entire face was visibly pale, clearly the result of overexerting his Soul Power.
Meng Yiran got up and asked worriedly, "Brother Feng, thank you. How are you feeling?"
There were faint tears in her anxious eyes. Clearly, she had already fallen for Yu Xiaofeng.
Yu Xiaofeng grinned. "I'm fine. I've just overdrawn my Soul Power a little. I'll be fine once I recover."
He turned to Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma and respectfully said, "Seniors, now that this matter is settled, it's time for me to return to Shrek Academy. If you ever need Xiaofeng's help, simply come to Shrek Academy and find me."
Meng Yiran was somewhat reluctant to see him go, but Dragon Duke had already spoken his thanks and chatted with Yu Xiaofeng, hoping to keep him there. Yet Yu Xiaofeng refused and insisted on leaving, so she could only quietly hide her feelings away.
But who among those present was a fool?
Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma had lived through it all. How could they not know what Meng Yiran was thinking?
Yu Xiaofeng had lived two lives. How could he not know that Meng Yiran liked him?
He wanted to leave because Ghost Douluo was already nearby. He had wanted to hold Meng Yiran's little hand—after all, she was a beauty. With a sigh, he thought, Maybe next time.
After leaving, Yu Xiaofeng sped toward the entrance of the Star Dou Forest. But after traveling only a dozen li, he was stopped by a black figure.
"Old Ghost, why are you here?"
Yu Xiaofeng had changed into a different outfit and wore a Ghost Face Mask as he questioned Ghost Douluo.
Ghost Douluo said, "Old Wu's Soul Power has fallen to level 30. If this continues, he may very well die."
Yu Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat. He had been in quite a good mood, but the moment he heard that Old Wu was in trouble, his mood twisted into a knot of anxious despair.
The two moved faster and faster. Ghost Douluo discovered that despite being a Titled Douluo, he could barely keep up with Yu Xiaofeng in terms of speed.
His astonished eyes were filled with shock, and he could not help wondering whether he had gotten old.
Inside a residence in Suotuo City, when Yu Xiaofeng saw Old Wu's graying hair and his miserable, dying appearance, tears instantly streamed from his eyes.
He rushed to Old Wu's bedside in a single stride and immediately activated the Rebirth Eye. A deep blue night sky instantly enveloped the entire room.
Yu Xiaofeng held his breath and focused his gaze. A gray current of Soul Power was wreaking havoc inside Old Wu's body, leaving devastation wherever it passed. Even stranger, after the gray current moved through, another green current of Soul Power followed behind it.
This green Soul Power carried the aura of life. Wherever it flowed, vitality bloomed anew. Each time the green and gray Soul Powers met, the gray current became thinner, while the green current gradually grew stronger.
Watching this scene, Yu Xiaofeng suddenly laughed. How was this the sign of a dying man? It was clearly an omen of rebirth.
Moreover, Yu Xiaofeng was certain that if Old Wu pulled through this time, then the next time he used Dragon Transformation, he would definitely be able to sustain it longer, and its power would be twice—or even several times—what it had been before.
Old Ghost and Old Wu looked at Yu Xiaofeng in confusion. The meaning was obvious: Old Wu was already in such a state, so why were you crying and laughing?
Yu Xiaofeng did not explain. Instead, he continued examining Old Wu's body. When he saw Old Wu's newly regenerated bones and bloodline, Yu Xiaofeng's pupils contracted as he cried out, "So that's how it is?"
Old Ghost anxiously said, "Xiaofeng, stop keeping us in suspense. Tell me, what exactly is going on with Old Wu's body?"
Yu Xiaofeng smiled. "There are two types of Soul Power in Old Wu's body. One is gray Soul Power that is eroding Old Wu's life force. It is the main reason his Soul Power has dropped, his face has become haggard, and he has aged."
"What?"
Ghost Douluo exclaimed.
Old Wu waved a hand, cutting off Ghost Douluo's cry. He said to Ghost Douluo, "Old Ghost, stop making such a fuss. Let Xiaofeng finish. Isn't there another type of Soul Power? Let him finish before we talk."
Ghost Douluo nodded, and Yu Xiaofeng continued, "The other green Soul Power is the key reason Old Wu has not died. It is constantly transforming his body, making his blood and bones stronger. And whenever the two types of Soul Power meet, the green Soul Power devours the gray Soul Power."
"Furthermore, I'm certain that not only will Old Wu not die, he will become even stronger in the future. It's just that while the two types of Soul Power are devouring each other, Old Wu may become weaker than even a child."
"This may be a side effect of Old Wu's ninth soul skill, Dragon Transformation."
"Compared to the seven-day weakened period caused by other people's Martial Soul Avatars, Old Wu's is clearly much longer. But if his body undergoes this transformation several more times, I think even the aftereffects of the weakened period may eventually disappear."
Hearing Yu Xiaofeng's words, the two of them stared in shock with their mouths wide open. When Old Wu looked within himself, he could only see the two currents of Soul Power moving around, not nearly as much as Yu Xiaofeng had described. Now that he heard Yu Xiaofeng's words, Old Wu could only marvel at the Rebirth Eye's power. It was simply absurdly heaven-defying.
Green light gathered in Yu Xiaofeng's right hand. He wanted to try using Soul Devouring Strike to devour the gray Soul Power, because he had discovered that the green Soul Power was simply too weak.
There was one thing he had not told them: he had discovered that there was far too much gray Soul Power. If things continued like this, Old Wu might die before the green Soul Power had a chance to grow stronger.
