Several days later.

The outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Gu Feng crouched on a tree branch, faint flowing wind wrapping around his entire body to cleanly conceal his own scent and sounds.

It was his self-created soul skill: Breath Concealment.

At the same time, beside a clump of bushes a dozen meters away, a Gale Demon Lizard close to two meters in body length and covered in cyan scales was lowering its head to tear apart a wild deer.

Judging by the color of the fleshy crest atop this soul beast's head, its cultivation was around seventeen hundred years, which was a very fitting match for a wind-attribute martial soul.

Gu Feng did not hesitate, cyan flowing wind circulating all over his body, and two yellow soul rings also appeared accordingly. Immediately, he activated his second soul skill.

"Second soul skill, Gale Piercing!"

Cyan-green spiral airflow wrapped around his entire body, boosting his speed and attack power by 70%, and the piercing power of his wind blades by 50% for one hour.

Not only that, as his soul power increased, the effect of the second soul skill was also growing. Once he obtained the third soul ring, these numerical values would increase further.

After using the soul skill, Gu Feng leaped down from the tree, his right hand making an empty grasping motion in the air as wind elements gathered rapidly.

Vacuum!

The air within a half-meter radius of the Gale Demon Lizard's head was rapidly evacuated, forming a brief vacuum zone.

This soul beast had originally been about to open its mouth to spit a wind blade, but with no more manipulable air surrounding it, its chest felt intensely suffocated, and its movements froze directly in place.

Gu Feng seized this brief two-second stagnation, his right palm condensing a heavy, cyan-green large wind blade.

"First soul skill, Myriad-Gap Wind Blade."

The countless previously scattered wind blades converged into a two-meter-long cyan blade radiance, hacking down head-on.

With a puchi sound.

The Gale Demon Lizard's head was neatly lopped off, and it collapsed into a pool of blood.

A circle of purple soul ring slowly rose from the top of the corpse.

Gu Feng felt somewhat emotional that this vacuum sneak attack trick was really not bad; if he were to fight against a soul master, he could just run away using soul skills.

Fortunately, this soul beast was about to spit a wind blade and unable to leave the vacuum zone, otherwise it would have been impossible to so easily slaughter the Gale Demon Lizard.

Immediately, Gu Feng dispersed the airflow around his body, walked briskly to the soul beast's corpse, and sat down cross-legged.

He guided the deep purple thousand-year soul ring into his body and began refining it.

Over an hour later.

Gu Feng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes.

Three soul rings slowly rippled around his body: yellow, yellow, purple.

Feeling the abundant flow of soul power within his body, Gu Feng moved his wrist.

Thirty-fifth rank.

The foundation of the hundred thousand year soul bone plus a seventeen-hundred-year soul ring directly made him leap five consecutive ranks from his original thirtieth rank, stepping into the ranks of a thirty-fifth-ring Soul Elder.

Gu Feng stood up, patted the weeds off his clothes, and turned to walk in the opposite direction of Suotuo City.

Since the soul ring had already been obtained, staying in this forest had no meaning; he would go to Heaven Dou City to check out the situation first.

Half an hour later.

Gu Feng proceeded along the small forest path, the dense bushes gradually thinning, and ahead he could vaguely see the open plains at the outer edge of the forest.

Before he even walked out of the woods, a burst of rustling sounds abruptly came from the bushes ahead, accompanied by a girl's hurried panting.

"Help! Is anyone there?"

A crisp cry carrying a sobbing tone pierced the quietness of the forest.

Immediately following, a small white figure stumbled out from the waist-high grass.

That was a young girl around twelve years old with a very pretty head of long hair, her tender and fair face flushed red from running violently.

The girl wore an exquisite white long dress, the hem of which had several gasps torn by thorns, and the small white leather boots on her feet were stained with mud.

Less than thirty meters behind the girl, a giant wolf over three meters in body length was galloping over.

The wolf was covered all over in grayish-black stiff hair, a dark purple bone spur bulged on its spine, its fangs turned outward, saliva hung from the corners of its mouth, and its speed was extremely fast.

It was a Netherworld Demon Wolf of about twelve hundred years.

On a concealed tree branch at the top of a tree canopy a hundred meters away, two figures stood quietly.

The white-haired elder had his entire head of silver hair combed extremely neatly, his snow-white robe was not stained with a single bit of mud and dust, and sharp vital energy faintly circulated around his body.

Seeing the demon wolf below chasing closer and closer, the elder raised his hand, a sharp sword qi blooming on his palm, and was about to directly strike to suppress that soul beast.

The middle-aged man standing beside him, however, reached out and pressed down on his wrist.

The middle-aged man wore a moon-white robe, black long hair draped behind his head, and his temperament was scholarly and gentle.

"Uncle Jian, there's no need to rush."

Ning Fengzhi gently stopped Chen Xin.

"Rongrong is spoiled too much in the sect usually, and her temper is arrogant, so letting her suffer a little is good. Besides, isn't there a little fellow ahead."

Hearing this, Chen Xin withdrew his soul power and calmly looked down below.

"A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, what use could he be."

However, a moment later, Chen Xin was surprised,

"What! That kid is a Soul Elder?"

On the ground below.

Ning Rongrong also spotted Gu Feng standing by the road.

She stumbled underfoot, almost falling into a mud puddle, and hastily steadied her figure, shouting at Gu Feng.

"Hey! That handsome guy! Save me quickly! There's a big wolf chasing me from behind!"

Gu Feng looked the other party up and down twice.

Chin-length short hair, a white dress, an arrogant tone, and that air of nobility.

The little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong.

Calculating the time, she indeed sneaked out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at this node, preparing to go to Shrek Academy in Suotuo City.

As for the hidden...

Gu Feng did not look up, but he knew in his heart that when the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect went out, Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi could never be too far away.

Since she delivered herself to his doorstep, it was indeed a good opportunity to test his third soul skill.

Just right to use you to test my third soul skill.

Gu Feng whispered, stepped with his feet, and rushed toward Ning Rongrong head-on.

Cyan-green airflow rapidly swirled and rose around his body.

Yellow, yellow, purple.

Three soul rings slowly rose from the soles of his feet.

Ning Rongrong, who had been running desperately, abruptly halted her steps and froze in place.

"Purple? A third ring Soul Elder?"

Ning Rongrong was somewhat dazed.

The boy in front of her looked not much older than herself, and the clothes he wore even looked somewhat washed out to a pale color, yet he was actually a Soul Elder over level thirty!

In the gap where Ning Rongrong was dazed, the Netherworld Demon Wolf had already leaped over her head and directly pounced toward the incoming Gu Feng.

"Watch out!" Ning Rongrong could not help but scream out.

Gu Feng's expression was as usual, and the second yellow soul ring on his body suddenly lit up.

"Second soul skill, Gale Piercing."

Cyan-green spiral fierce wind instantly wrapped around his limbs and torso, and his movement speed suddenly soared.

The moment before the demon wolf pounced over, Gu Feng raised his right hand and fiercely grabbed toward the demon wolf's head with his palm.

Self-created soul skill, vacuum.

The air within a half-meter area around the demon wolf was instantly and completely evacuated.

The demon wolf, which was originally opening its bloody maw and preparing to bite and tear, suddenly bore huge negative pressure in its lungs, its entire body stiffening for a beat in midair, and the action of its pounce completely distorted.

This short moment of stagnation was already fatal enough for an agility-type soul master.

The third purple soul ring on Gu Feng's body shone brightly.

"Third soul skill, Eye of the Storm!"

With a roar, centered on the demon wolf, an airflow vortex rotating at high speed was generated out of thin air within a range of eight meters in diameter.

Rampant wind blades frantically cut inside the vortex.

The demon wolf let out a miserable and painful howl, its huge body being swept into midair by the violent wind, completely unable to borrow any force to land.

Countless tiny cyan wind blades densely and closely swept across its fur, and fresh blood continuously splattered out.

Gu Feng stood at the edge of the wind vortex and quietly observed the effect of the soul skill.

The control power and tearing damage of Eye of the Storm were very strong, but for a tough-skinned, force-type soul beast with a cultivation of twelve hundred years, it was difficult to achieve a direct fatality in a short time.

Three seconds later.

The power of the storm vortex was completely exhausted, and after emitting a muffled sound, it dissipated in the air.

The Netherworld Demon Wolf, covered all over with bloodstains, heavily smashed onto the ground, smashing the fallen leaves on the ground to fly all over the sky.

The demon wolf crawled up from the ground, its whole body stained with blood and covered in wounds, emitting a whimpering low growl, and the look in its eyes as it gazed at Gu Feng was full of fear.

It tucked its tail, tumbling and crawling as it turned around to rush into the bushes, running for its life without looking back.

Gu Feng did not chase.

He already had a clear idea of the new soul skill's power, and there was no need to waste soul power on a soul beast with no value.

Immediately, he put away his martial soul, and the swirling currents of wind around his body slowly dissipated.
