Inside the Chat Group.
The message Ning Rongrong sent quickly gained the approval of the other group members.
Poison Fairy: [Tang San again!]
Poison Fairy: [Why is every bad thing related to this guy?]
Poison Fairy: [Whether Soul Land is in chaos or not, does Tang San have the final say?]
Dugu Yan lay on her bed, her chest rising and falling constantly.
In the future, Tang San took the Dugu Family's Immortal Herbs and used them to curry favor with the Shrek Academy members.
Not only did her grandfather gain nothing, he even had to feel grateful to Tang San.
Just thinking about it made her furious.
Mute Little Sister: [Tang San still doesn't know the location of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well.]
Mute Little Sister: [As long as we tell Senior Dugu in advance, there is still time.]
Poison Fairy: [That's right.]
Poison Fairy: [Once Grandpa returns, I'll tell him about this.]
Poison Fairy: [Whoever dares set their sights on the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, Grandpa will definitely let them taste the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor Poison!]
Her Holiness the Pope: [Tang San is indeed greedy.]
Her Holiness the Pope: [He takes the most precious Immortal Herbs from someone else's treasure ground, then uses a few sweet words to make the owner grateful to him.]
Her Holiness the Pope: [Ordinary people cannot learn such scheming.]
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong sat upon the Pope's throne, her slender fingers lightly tapping the armrest.
From secretly learning the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques in his previous life to taking Yu Xiaogang as his master after reincarnation.
From concealing his Twin Martial Souls to plotting for Xiao Wu's sacrifice.
And now, the Icefire Yin-Yang Well was involved as well.
Tang San's shadow lay behind every matter.
Bibi Dong narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.
"Tang San."
"If this person continues to grow, he will sooner or later become a great threat to Spirit Hall."
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Qian Renxue looked at the messages in the group, her face full of mockery.
I Have No Mother: [He keeps shouting that others deserve death, yet he doesn't hesitate at all when taking other people's things.]
I Have No Mother: [If outsiders so much as look at something belonging to the Tang Sect, they deserve death.]
I Have No Mother: [Yet he can take away all the Dugu Family's Immortal Herbs.]
I Have No Mother: [What kind of rule is that?]
Little Witch: [Tang San's rule is that only he is allowed to take advantage of others.]
Little Witch: [When someone else takes his things, it's stealing. When he takes someone else's things, it's a fortuitous opportunity.]
My Cat Is White and Big: [How can such a shameless person exist in this world?]
Ice Snow Princess: [The previous future scenes could still be explained as coincidences.]
Ice Snow Princess: [But the Icefire Yin-Yang Well was originally the Dugu Family's treasure ground.]
Ice Snow Princess: [Tang San took the Immortal Herbs but left nothing behind for the Dugu Family to cure their poison. No matter how you look at it, it makes no sense.]
Fragrant Fox: [Hehe, everyone has misunderstood Tang San.]
Fragrant Fox: [It's not like he left nothing behind for the Dugu Family.]
Fragrant Fox: [Wasn't the soil and spring water still there?]
The Chat Group fell silent for a moment.
The next instant, a flood of messages popped up one after another.
Little Witch: [Hahaha!]
Poison Fairy: [Well said!]
Mute Little Sister: [Those Immortal Herbs had grown for many years. Tang San might have even dug up their roots.]
My Cat Is White and Big: [Then that really means only the soil and spring water were left.]
Loves Carrots: [How did Third Brother become like this...]
Shrek Academy.
Xiao Wu sat alone inside a wooden cabin, her expression complicated.
Once could be a coincidence.
Twice could barely be explained.
But the future scenes appearing one after another left Xiao Wu unable to keep finding excuses for Tang San.
Especially after that earlier test.
Even after Tang San learned that Spirit Hall had Titled Douluo guarding it, he still did not let Xiao Wu withdraw from the tournament.
Within those gentle eyes, Xiao Wu saw very little concern for her safety.
Yu Xiaogang's dream.
Shrek's reputation.
The championship of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament.
All of those came before Xiao Wu.
Loves Carrots: [Great Group Leader, can the Immortal Herbs in the Icefire Yin-Yang Well revive dead relatives?]
Group Leader: [Some Immortal Herbs possess the power to revive the dead and regrow flesh upon bones.]
Group Leader: [However, Immortal Herbs are not omnipotent. Whether someone can be revived depends on the condition of the deceased.]
Loves Carrots: [I understand.]
Xiao Wu looked at the illusory panel, determination appearing in her eyes.
No matter what, the future could no longer follow its original path.
Xiao Wu did not want to sacrifice herself.
She wanted even less for Da Ming and Er Ming to die for Tang San.
Inside the Chat Group, the condemnation of Tang San had yet to stop.
The group's activity level rose rapidly.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The back mountain.
Chen Feng leaned against an ancient tree, watching the constantly refreshing messages with considerable satisfaction.
"Every time the future is revealed, it ends up involving Tang San."
"This guy has contributed quite a bit of popularity to the Chat Group."
"At this rate, Tang San is the group's greatest contributor."
On the system panel, the value representing the group's activity level kept jumping.
Soon, it broke through a new threshold.
A crisp notification followed.
[Ding!] [The Chat Group's activity level has reached the stage requirement.] [Congratulations, Host, you have received an activity reward.] [Congratulations, Host, all Soul Rings have gained three thousand years of cultivation.] [Congratulations, Host, you have received one Martial Soul enhancement.] [Congratulations, Host, you have received one Soul Power Fruit.] [Soul Power Fruit: After consumption, Soul Power will unconditionally increase by one level.]
Seeing the final reward, delight appeared in Chen Feng's eyes.
He had already reached level forty-nine.
This Soul Power Fruit had arrived at exactly the right time.
With a thought from Chen Feng, a green fruit appeared in his palm.
The fruit was only fist-sized, with fine lotus patterns spread across its surface.
Dense Soul Power radiated from it, making the surrounding grass and trees sway gently.
Without hesitation, Chen Feng directly swallowed the Soul Power Fruit.
The flesh melted the moment it entered his mouth.
Pure energy flowed through his meridians into his dantian. His Soul Power, which had been stalled at level forty-nine, immediately surged toward the next barrier.
Boom!
A muffled explosion sounded from within his body.
His dantian rapidly expanded, and the Soul Power in his meridians became even more robust.
Level fifty!
Chen Feng opened his eyes, and a flash of green sword light vanished from them.
"The Soul Power Fruit left behind no impurities."
"My Soul Power foundation has not been affected either."
"The system's rewards truly do not disappoint."
Reaching level fifty meant that once he absorbed his fifth Soul Ring, he would officially enter the Soul King Realm.
Chen Feng did not rise in a hurry.
The Martial Soul enhancement reward arrived immediately afterward.
The Azure Lotus Sword appeared before him on its own.
Its jade-green blade floated in midair as lotus patterns lit up one after another.
The system's power fused into the blade.
The entire Azure Lotus Sword gave a clear, ringing cry. Fallen leaves within dozens of meters froze in midair.
The next moment.
Countless fallen leaves split apart in the middle, their cuts incomparably smooth.
The light on the Azure Lotus Sword gradually faded.
Its blade became increasingly translucent, while its lotus patterns changed from their original green to a faint golden green.
Chen Feng reached out and gripped the hilt.
Robust Soul Power surged into it, and sword qi instantly shot hundreds of meters away.
In the distance, a mountain rock several meters tall split down the middle.
Its cut surface was smooth, without the slightest fracture.
Chen Feng lowered his head and examined the Azure Lotus Sword.
"The Martial Soul's strength has increased by thirty percent."
"Yet it consumes less Soul Power than before."
"The distance of Sword Manipulation by Qi has also increased."
After putting away the Azure Lotus Sword, the three thousand years of Soul Ring cultivation began to fuse into his body.
Four Soul Rings appeared in succession.
The power from the enhanced Martial Soul flowed through the Soul Rings, and the first two Soul Rings changed at the same time.
The yellow that had remained on them rapidly faded, replaced by noble purple.
The three thousand years of Soul Ring cultivation was also distributed among the Soul Rings by the system's power.
Purple light flashed one after another.
Three purple, one black!
The four Soul Rings continuously revolved around Chen Feng.
The Azure Lotus Sword hung above his head, its golden-green lotus patterns flickering as they resonated with the Soul Rings.
Level fifty Soul Power surged through his meridians.
Chen Feng slowly clenched his hand, carefully feeling the changes from this improvement.
His Soul Power had risen by one level.
The Azure Lotus Sword had been enhanced.
The cultivation of his Soul Rings had increased once more.
Even without a fifth Soul Ring, his current strength far surpassed what it had been before.
Chen Feng withdrew the Soul Power around his body, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
"This reward was quite fruitful."
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The back mountain.
Chen Feng had just put away his Soul Rings when a light set of footsteps sounded from the forest.
Purple hair fluttered in the wind.
Dugu Yan passed through the woods and finally saw the white-clad figure beneath the ancient tree.
"Chen Feng!"
Hearing someone call his name, Chen Feng turned around.
Dugu Yan quickly approached him, her chest rising slightly as a trace of sickness still lingered on her fair cheeks.
Her purple leather outfit clung tightly to her body, outlining her full and alluring curves.
Her long, straight legs clad in black stockings stepped over the leaf-covered path, making her especially eye-catching.
Chen Feng gave Dugu Yan a once-over.
The Jade Phosphor Snake Poison had already seeped deep into her meridians.
Although Ye Lingling had just treated her, faint bluish-green poison still drifted beneath her skin.
"Did you need something from me?"
Dugu Yan nodded lightly.
Remembering the Chat Group leader's guidance, she did not hide much.
"I heard you can identify Immortal Herbs."
"And that you know the secrets of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well."
Chen Feng's expression remained calm.
The group leader's identity was not suitable for exposure yet.
Dugu Yan did not know that the person before her was the Chat Group leader who knew the future.
"Where did you hear that?"
Dugu Yan had already prepared an explanation for the question.
"I can't tell you that."
"But the person who gave me this information would never lie to me."
Chen Feng did not press further.
"I do recognize the Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Yin-Yang Well."
"And your Jade Phosphor Snake Poison can be cured there as well."
At those words, Dugu Yan's breathing caught.
"Really?"
"You're not lying to me?"
Chen Feng raised a hand and lightly placed two fingers on Dugu Yan's wrist.
Pure Azure Lotus Soul Power slowly flowed into her through her meridians.
Sensing the foreign soul power, the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison immediately gathered around it.
A thread of azure sword qi swept through her meridians, scattering every trace of poison that came near.
Dugu Yan's expression shifted slightly.
The agonizing pain that had plagued her for years had lessened considerably in just a few breaths.
The Azure Lotus Soul Power had not neutralized the poison.
But it could suppress the poison temporarily.
That alone was enough to prove that Chen Feng had spoken the truth.
"Your poison has already fused with your bones and marrow. Ordinary medicine can only delay its onset."
"To resolve it completely, the poison must be drawn into a Soul Bone, then Immortal Herbs must be used to cleanse your marrow and reshape your body."
"If handled properly, your Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul may even evolve."
Chen Feng withdrew his fingers.
The warmth on her wrist vanished with them.
Dugu Yan lowered her head to look at her fair wrist, her eyes filled with delight.
"A Martial Soul can evolve too?"
"Of course."
After receiving that confirmation, Dugu Yan could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart.
The Jade Phosphor Snake Poison had tormented the Dugu Family for generations.
Her grandfather, Dugu Bo, appeared to command awe across the continent, yet whenever the skies turned overcast and rain fell, he still had to endure the agony of countless poisons devouring his body.
Now, not only could the poison be cured, but her Martial Soul could continue to evolve.
Such a favor was far more precious than any amount of gold or silver.
Dugu Yan raised her eyes to Chen Feng.
"As long as you can save Grandpa and cure my Jade Phosphor Snake Poison, any condition can be discussed."
"Even if you want the entire Icefire Yin-Yang Well, the Dugu Family can give it to you."
Chen Feng shook his head slightly.
The Icefire Yin-Yang Well was indeed precious.
However, Dugu Bo had managed that medicinal garden for many years, and he was one of the continent's rare Titled Douluo.
Taking possession of the entire treasure ground directly would only hinder future cooperation.
"The Icefire Yin-Yang Well will remain with the Dugu Family."
"Immortal Herbs have extremely strict requirements for their growing environment. Once removed from there, they will struggle to survive."
"I'll select the Immortal Herbs I need. The rest will remain with the Dugu Family."
Dugu Yan froze for a moment.
She had already prepared herself to give up the entire treasure ground.
Yet Chen Feng only intended to take some of the Immortal Herbs.
Compared to Tang San in the future, who would sweep away every treasure without leaving even a single Immortal Herb leaf for the Dugu Family, the man before her was far more honorable.
"You'll really only take the Immortal Herbs you need?"
"As long as I have enough."
Chen Feng looked toward the distant forest.
"More Immortal Herbs aren't necessarily better."
"Their medicinal properties can clash. Taking them carelessly will only damage your foundation."
"The one that suits you is the best one."
The final trace of concern in Dugu Yan's heart completely vanished.
"Thank you."
"Grandpa is still outside. Once he returns, I'll take you to the Icefire Yin-Yang Well."
After saying that, Dugu Yan did not leave.
Those jade-green eyes remained fixed on Chen Feng's face.
His white robes were clean and immaculate.
Gold-and-azure Azure Lotus Sword patterns were hidden between his sleeves.
When he had defeated Yu Tianheng earlier, Chen Feng had already displayed strength far beyond others his age.
Now, he was even willing to help save the entire Dugu Family.
Dugu Yan clasped her hands behind her back and stepped closer.
The distance between them quickly narrowed.
The faint fragrance of the young woman drifted over on the breeze.
"There's one more thing."
"What is it?"
Dugu Yan lifted her pretty face.
"This is an advance token of my gratitude."
As the words fell, Dugu Yan rose onto her tiptoes, her black silk-clad calves tensing slightly.
Her full figure leaned forward.
Her soft red lips gently pressed against Chen Feng's cheek.
After that brief contact, Dugu Yan immediately retreated two steps.
A rosy flush quickly spread across her fair cheeks.
She had been decisive when making up her mind.
But after truly kissing him, Dugu Yan no longer dared to look directly at Chen Feng.
"Don't misunderstand."
"I'm only expressing my gratitude."
Chen Feng raised a hand and touched his cheek.
The faint, warm softness had yet to fade.
"Is this how the Dugu Family gives its gifts of thanks?"
Dugu Yan pursed her red lips.
"Of course not."
"Only you can receive this gift."
The woods fell silent.
The autumn wind brushed through her purple hair.
Her slim waist was wrapped in tight leather, and her long black silk-clad legs crossed slightly, outlining a mature, seductive beauty.
Just as Chen Feng was about to speak, the sound of a branch snapping suddenly came from afar.
Both of them turned toward it at once.
Yu Tianheng stood at the end of the forest path.
Blue arcs of lightning crackled continuously around his right arm.
He had seen everything that had just happened.
"Yan'er."
"What were you doing just now?"
The blush on Dugu Yan's face rapidly faded.
"This is Yan Yan's own business."
"It has nothing to do with you."
