After a period of nonstop day-and-night cultivation, Yang Feng's Soul Power had risen from level 38 to level 45.

He was only one level away from unlocking the level-30 Martial Soul enhancement ability and an additional Martial Soul storage slot for copying.

Just one final level remained.

"Why hasn't it reached level 46 yet?!" Yang Feng's tone began to carry a hint of impatience.

A familiar voice sounded beside his ear.

[Current Soul Power has broken through to level 46.] [The host has now unlocked the level-30 Soul Power bonus.] [Additionally, the third equipment slot for copied Martial Souls has been unlocked.] [The Martial Souls currently stored by the host are the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, and an empty Martial Soul copy slot.] [Please carefully choose which Martial Soul to bind to the level-30 Soul Power bonus. If the Martial Soul enhancement effect is switched multiple times within a certain period...] [The enhancement ability will enter a dormant state.]

"What? Why is there even a negative effect now?!"

Yang Feng watched as the system explained it and felt that it was not much of a problem.

As long as he did not use high-level Martial Souls when switching Martial Souls rapidly, this negative effect could be ignored.

Against opponents at the same level, he could repeatedly switch Martial Souls and combine them to unleash unexpected moves.

When facing Soul Masters with even a slight Martial Soul gap, he would need to crush them with high-level Martial Souls enhanced by the Martial Soul enhancement.

"Mm, that's what I'll do!"

However, within the academy, the only suitable candidate with a high enough level whose Martial Soul could be copied at level 76 was Zhao Wuji!

Yang Feng scratched his head and said:

"Where would Teacher Zhao be right now?"

"But thinking about borrowing some of his Unmoving Bright King abilities next makes me a little excited!"

"Although Zhao Wuji's strength is still far from enough when compared to Titled Douluo like Tang Hao, Ning Fengzhi, and Bibi Dong!"

"Still, he's more than capable of giving Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar a beating right now."

In the end, Yang Feng found Zhao Wuji in a corner of the academy, where he was responsible for training some students.

Yang Feng quickly walked over to Zhao Wuji and began asking him about ways to increase Soul Power faster.

He wanted to stall for time and give himself enough time to copy the Martial Soul.

"Teacher Zhao, can I take a look at your Martial Soul?"

"I'm not here to spar this time. I just want to understand how great an impact the gap in Soul Power Levels has on Soul Masters."

Zhao Wuji felt there was nothing objectionable about Yang Feng's request, so he prepared to summon his beast Martial Soul, the Mighty Vajra Bear.

Soon, Zhao Wuji threw back his head and roared. His body was enveloped in black light, and all seven of his soul rings appeared at once!

After using Martial Soul Possession, his height and muscles rapidly swelled, exaggerated as though he had activated some colossal transformation.

At the same time, his skin became covered in thick fur, and his entire body transformed into an enormous bear of astonishing size.

The surrounding students were also shocked by Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul.

"The pressure from that Martial Soul is so strong. I can barely breathe."

"Teacher Zhao is so powerful! I want to work hard and become a strong person like Teacher Zhao someday too!"

At that moment, Yang Feng secretly summoned the initial form of his Imitation Martial Soul Mirror and began recording Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul against it.

[Zhao Wuji's Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul is currently being recorded. Please wait patiently...] [Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul recording complete!] [Specific usage must remain within the safe limits of the host's own strength.]

Meanwhile, after Teacher Zhao had displayed all of his strength, he withdrew his Martial Soul and returned to his usual human form.

"Did everyone see that? This is what happens after a Martial Soul's Soul Power is raised. Doesn't it look incredibly exaggerated to all of you?"

"Yang Feng! If you keep working hard and raising your Soul Power, your strength may very well surpass mine. Keep it up!"

After Zhao Wuji emphasized that Yang Feng could reach his level if he continued cultivating,

he also affirmed that Yang Feng would inevitably become a Soul Master stronger and more talented than himself in the future.

He might even reach the level of a Titled Douluo, Zhao Wuji said before slowly leaving Yang Feng's side.

After Zhao Wuji left, Yang Feng went to an unoccupied part of the academy and repeatedly confirmed that there was no one nearby.

Then he began trying to summon and use Zhao Wuji's beast Martial Soul.

"Mighty Vajra Bear! Come out!"

After Yang Feng said those words, the Martial Soul in his right hand showed no reaction at all.

Yang Feng was dumbfounded. "No way! Could it be that the level difference is too great, so I can't use it?"

"But I've already reached the required level!" Just as Yang Feng was feeling confused,

[The system is officially activating the Martial Soul enhancement ability. Current enhancement level: 30.]

Yang Feng finally understood that his summoning method had not been wrong; the system's enhancement ability simply had not taken effect yet!

Once everything had been sorted out, Yang Feng summoned the Martial Soul in his right hand. The Imitation Martial Soul Mirror, which had originally been in its initial state, transformed into a Mighty Vajra Bear just like Zhao Wuji's!

After continuous effort, Yang Feng had finally succeeded in summoning Zhao Wuji's Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul.

After summoning the Vajra Bear, Yang Feng could also feel a very obvious increase in his own defense.

"Although my abilities have improved, this thick coat of fur is really annoying."

Still, Yang Feng had at least gained mastery over some of Zhao Wuji's abilities.

After taking care of everything, Yang Feng now planned to analyze what kind of chaos might arise within Spirit Hall.

In particular, he wondered whether Qian Daoliu would completely fall out with Bibi Dong because of Tang San, further splitting Spirit Hall's forces,

or whether he would take Bibi Dong's position as Pope into consideration and join forces with her to help Spirit Hall regain its dignity.

Yang Feng began wondering just how much further he still had to improve before Qian Daoliu's Six-Winged Angel could compare to his current Mighty Vajra Bear.

But at present, he only possessed a portion of Zhao Wuji's level-76 strength.

If he encountered Qian Daoliu head-on, with his level-99 assault-type Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, he would still be ground into the dirt.

It seemed he still had to make greater use of the Fate Diary System and change the current situation through continuously writing diaries.

Inside Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong looked at Tang San's bedraggled appearance after Yang Feng had defeated him at Shrek Academy.

Bibi Dong's expression was exceptionally cold.

Seeing the Pope like this, Tang San did not even dare to breathe loudly.

As Bibi Dong ordered Tang San expelled from Spirit Hall, she also left a few words in his ear.

After Spirit Hall issued the order expelling Tang San,

they did not demand that he leave immediately.

It could be considered that they had given Tang San a brief buffer period, leaving him some time to think about what to do next.
