Shrek Academy, morning.

Early in the morning, Zhao Wuji got up and planned to go to Sunset Forest to find two soul beasts for Yang Feng's Soul Rings.

Yang Feng did not care what kind of Soul Rings they were, because his main goal was to increase his Soul Power and unlock his own soul skills.

No matter how many Soul Ring abilities he acquired now, they would only be transitional.

By the late game, once he reached Level 90 or above, he could choose two top-tier Titled Douluo Martial Souls and replicate them. It was hard to imagine how he could possibly lose.

Now, Zhao Wuji went to the dormitory to find Yang Feng.

Zhao Wuji planned to take him there first and obtain his second, or even third, Soul Ring in Sunset Forest.

"I plan to take you to Sunset Forest and help you increase your Soul Power."

"After all, now that you're at Shrek Academy, Star Dou Great Forest is still too far away. A longer journey also means greater risks."

"What do you think of going to Sunset Forest to obtain Soul Rings?"

Yang Feng readily agreed to his proposal.

"Good. We'll set out for Sunset Forest now."

After saying that, Zhao Wuji had Yang Feng stay close behind him. He led the way ahead, avoiding the risks and accidents they encountered along the road.

The two headed toward Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest.

Ancient trees blotted out the sky, and scattered patches of light fell through the canopy.

Rotting leaves carpeted the ground, soft and soundless beneath their feet, while a faint fishy smell hung in the air.

Compared to Star Dou Great Forest, this place was neither as bright nor as lively.

From the moment one stepped into Sunset Forest, it made one's chest feel tight.

The light could not penetrate inside, sounds seemed buried beneath the rotten leaves, and even the wind felt sticky.

Yang Feng followed Zhao Wuji all the way here and entered Sunset Forest.

The forest air was thin, almost like that of a tropical rainforest.

"My chest feels a little tight. I can barely catch my breath."

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji hurriedly told Yang Feng to rest.

"Sit down quickly and rest. If you're tired, just say so!"

"I just wanted to see how much of a gap there still is between Teacher Zhao and me for me to catch up!"

Zhao Wuji said with a smile:

"Hey, kid, I'll definitely find you a top-tier soul beast to serve as your Soul Ring."

There were traces of soul beasts everywhere in the forest. Finding their exact locations from the sounds and tracks they left behind

was obviously no easy task.

Suddenly, a Soul Devouring Flower burst out of the soil.

Yang Feng noticed it immediately and quickly told Zhao Wuji beside him.

"Teacher Zhao, look! I found a Soul Devouring Flower. It seems to be over a thousand years old, right?"

"Not bad. Conservatively speaking, it's a thousand-year plant-type soul beast."

"But judging from its roots and stem, it looks closer to two thousand years old."

"All right, then we'll choose it as your second Soul Ring."

After saying that, Zhao Wuji moved behind the Soul Devouring Flower, intending to kill it with one strike.

Zhao Wuji quietly moved from Yang Feng's side and approached the Soul Devouring Flower from behind without making the slightest sound.

The Soul Devouring Flower suddenly turned toward Zhao Wuji behind it. From the decaying dead leaves beneath the ground, seven vines shot out of the holes like pythons.

Before Zhao Wuji could react, they wrapped around his limbs and neck.

At the same time, its petals opened, revealing densely packed barbs in its flower core that viciously stabbed toward Zhao Wuji's head.

Zhao Wuji instantly broke free from the Soul Devouring Flower's vines and raised his right hand to block.

"Unmoving Ming King Body."

In an instant, Zhao Wuji's yellow Soul Ring appeared. The vines wrapped around his body seemed to have encountered blazing fire.

Thick smoke billowed out, and then they snapped into fragments that fell to the ground.

The flower core was ultimately sent flying by the force of his right hand.

Seriously injured by Zhao Wuji, the Soul Devouring Flower desperately sent its roots bursting from the ground to entangle Zhao Wuji's ankles, intending to fight to the death.

Boom—

Zhao Wuji stomped the ground hard with his right foot. The earth, originally covered in decaying leaves,

instantly split apart.

Finally, Zhao Wuji grabbed the Soul Devouring Flower's core in his right hand and exerted force.

"Crush!"

Unable to withstand Zhao Wuji's powerful Soul Power, the Soul Devouring Flower turned into petals that filled the sky and fell to the ground.

Then, a yellow Soul Ring slowly rose from the earth.

Zhao Wuji hurriedly shook the Soul Devouring Flower petals off his hand, then turned to look at Yang Feng, who was still resting.

"What are you standing there for? Come over and absorb your first Soul Ring."

"Once you finish absorbing it, we still need to find you a second Soul Ring!"

Yang Feng hurriedly stood up. "That was way too fast! Teacher Zhao, you're incredibly strong!"

"Am I really that strong? There are still many hidden experts in this world. Compared to them, I'm still far behind!"

After hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Yang Feng more or less guessed who those powerful figures were: Tang San's father Tang Hao, Ning Rongrong's father Ning Fengzhi, and Spirit Hall's Bibi Dong.

Then, Yang Feng began absorbing the Soul Devouring Flower that had been killed.

He closed his eyes, held his breath, and focused his attention as he absorbed the one before him that had been

"How is it? What changes do you feel in your strength now?"

Yang Feng began releasing his own Soul Rings.

The next moment, a silver-white Soul Ring lit up around Yang Feng, like a reflective mirror.

Then, the Soul Ring of the Soul Devouring Flower Zhao Wuji had just killed also changed after being absorbed into his body.

The entire Soul Ring turned a translucent glazed color.

At the same time, under the sunlight,

it also provided a certain boost to the Soul Ring's power.

A familiar system voice sounded by Yang Feng's ear at that moment.

[Ding!] [The host's Soul Power has now risen to Level 36. The time-limited Martial Soul replication ability has been unlocked.] [New condition for Martial Soul replication: the host must reach a Soul Power level 30 levels higher than the current Soul Power level.]

"In other words, Zhao Wuji's Soul Power is exactly Level 76. Once I increase my Soul Power by another ten levels to Level 46, I'll be able to tap into the strength of his Level 76 'Unmoving Bright King.'"

"That should be roughly what you mean, right?"

[Correct. Your understanding is accurate. You are currently short by the corresponding ten levels.] [Please cultivate diligently, raise your Soul Power, and become a god in the world of Douluo Continent as soon as possible!]

Yang Feng saw the two words "become a god" in the system's message.

For a moment, he imagined himself after becoming a god, holding Xiao Wu in his arms, with Zhu Zhuqing on his left and Ning Rongrong on his right.

Yang Feng's smile was harder to suppress than the recoil of an AK.

Afterward, the two left Sunset Forest and returned to Shrek Academy.

Headmaster Flender heard that Zhao Wuji had taken Yang Feng to Sunset Forest to unlock his Martial Soul and was going to unlock two Soul Rings in succession.

He was somewhat worried whether Yang Feng's body could adapt to it all at once.

If anything went wrong, he would be prepared.

If Yang Feng could fully absorb them and improve his strength, Flender also wanted to indirectly help this young man.

Before long, the two appeared before Flender.
