The next day, Lin Feng rarely slept in.
He yawned, looking slightly exhausted.
Fortunately, Qian Daoliu had left early yesterday. Otherwise, if he found out what had happened, who knew what it would turn into.
Lin Feng thought about it. Maybe this room would have been razed to the ground?
"Xiao Feng!"
Seeing that Lin Feng was awake, Qian Renxue came in carrying a bowl of porridge.
Lin Feng looked at the goji berries floating in the porridge, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Taking the bowl and spoon, he helplessly shook his head.
"Xiao Xue, who taught you to put this in porridge?"
"Ling Yuan Jie said that boys become very weak after releasing, so they need to replenish themselves."
Replenish my ass!
His yang energy was abundant and his physique robust. Why would he need something like this?
Lin Feng's face darkened.
"Did she say that after reading some notebook-like book?"
Qian Renxue nodded in surprise.
Lin Feng was rather speechless. What else had Mother Ye written in that guide?
He did not correct Qian Renxue's mistaken way of thinking.
Under Qian Renxue's expectant gaze, he finished the porridge. Having eaten so much Soul Beast Meat yesterday, he was not hungry now and had no need for any other breakfast.
After his daily training and instructions, Lin Feng began constructing his Third Soul Vein.
The spleen belonged to earth.
Earth lay at the center.
It could nurture all things. When earth flourished, the body became strong; sweet fluid qi spread throughout the body, moistening it from within.
"Condense!"
The purple soul ring peeled away from the Innate Treasure Pearl once more and entered the area of Lin Feng's spleen.
It was unlike the explosive energy during the shaping of the Second Soul Vein, and unlike the refreshing sensation when the First Soul Vein had first opened.
All it brought was a solid, weighty feeling. This power was more like flowing non-Newtonian fluid, appearing completely unremarkable.
Yet it contained astonishing power and brought no physical impact to Lin Feng.
From the moment it formed, it simply stayed there quietly.
To Lin Feng, it felt like a shut-in who had been exhausted all day—referring only to the author—finally finding an exceptionally comfortable bed.
Once he lay down, he never wanted to move again.
As though he could sense the thoughts of this Soul Vein, Lin Feng's mouth twitched.
Of course, it was not completely useless.
The moment it formed, the three Soul Veins finally linked together on their own.
The First Soul Vein in his liver released pure vitality, sending it to the Heart Meridian and supplementing it with purification.
The Second Soul Vein possessed the most vigorous energy, granting the strongest driving force when circulating blood and Soul Power.
The Third Soul Vein within the spleen echoed the Heart Meridian. Nourished and supplied by its warmth, it gradually nurtured the energy within Lin Feng's body.
If the wood-aspected First Soul Vein gave Lin Feng an endless supply of vitality and multiplied his Soul Power, then this Third Soul Vein gave him the most solid foundation. From now on, the energy circulation of his Soul Veins had a cornerstone.
Accompanied by a sound like the resonant ringing of a cauldron and bell, Lin Feng's Third Soul Vein fully solidified.
The Soul Power within the three Soul Veins began circulating on its own, gleaming with an unusual radiance inside Lin Feng's body.
The Innate Treasure Pearl floated in the air. Just like the crimson substance that had appeared when the Second Soul Vein condensed, a trace of earthy yellow emerged amid that mist-like material.
A flash of inspiration struck him. The instant Lin Feng raised his hand, three Soul Skills were unleashed at once.
Beneath the faint white glow of Breath of Life, flames and stones floated around his body.
With a stomp of his feet, he sent himself onto a huge boulder, which rose and fell with his thoughts and drifted through the air.
"Does this count as an alternative form of flight?"
Ling Yuan pondered thoughtfully. As everyone knew, on Douluo Continent, one could not fly before becoming a Titled Douluo.
Unless one's Martial Soul possessed the ability to fly, or one had an attached Soul Skill that enabled flight.
Qian Renxue smiled.
"Xiao Feng seems to have become a little more handsome again."
Ling Yuan Jie looked Lin Feng over from head to toe, her gaze seemingly unintentionally lingering on his lower body. Thinking of last night, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she silently nodded.
Lin Feng did not reply.
At that moment, he was still immersed in his insight into the birth of the Spirit Meridian.
In Lin Feng's perception, once the Spirit Meridian at his spleen was born, the entire Spirit Meridian system seemed to have gained an Anchor Point.
The Spirit Meridians' nourishing and strengthening effects on his body became even more potent.
As for the soul skills contained within the Spirit Meridians, Lin Feng was no longer unable to comprehend their essence as he had been before.
The Law Power contained within them no longer merely influenced him subtly as it once had.
Now, he could independently wield and comprehend the Law Power contained within the Spirit Meridians.
Wood, fire, and earth respectively shaped the powers of origin, drive, and transformation.
They brought Lin Feng into an entirely new realm.
The Soul Power within his body surged like a running river, circulating without end.
His soul skills were like obedient sheep, as easy to command as his own limbs. So long as Lin Feng made the changes himself, they could transform at his will.
They brought limitless possibilities.
A speck of light flickered in and out of existence within his Dantian, seeming to contain a Primordial Chaos Opportunity. It glimmered faintly and indistinctly, unlike anything tangible.
In the end, it still failed to take shape. To Lin Feng, it felt as though something was missing, preventing this newborn thing from being born.
For the moment, he did not dwell on the light in his Dantian.
Lin Feng opened his eyes, which shone as brilliantly as stars.
With a clench of his hand, the fireball that had ruined Qian Daoliu's splendid robes that day appeared in his palm.
He no longer needed to begin with the earth fire and gather Soul Power to condense it.
The omission of this step represented that Lin Feng had already gained a preliminary understanding of the Source Law within this Second Soul Skill.
One foot had truly stepped into the reality of this world.
Amid his excitement, Lin Feng looked at Ling Yuan Jie.
"Ling Yuan Jie, would you like to test out my soul skill?"
Ling Yuan Jie raised her brows slightly.
"Oh? Xiao Feng, you seem to have grown even more confident."
The corners of Lin Feng's lips curled upward.
"Strength is the foundation of confidence. Please enlighten me?"
"Sure."
Ling Yuan Jie smiled, narrowing her eyes.
"But your sister is a Fire Phoenix. Isn't it a little inappropriate to play with fire in front of me?"
With a spread of her delicate hand, a Flame Whip appeared.
Crack.
The Flame Whip lashed across the ground, burning the Blue Silver Grass to ash.
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up as she looked at the Flame Whip in Ling Yuan Jie's hand, clearly tempted.
"Maybe I'll try that another day..."
she murmured softly.
"Come on, stinky little brother~"
Ling Yuan Jie crooked her index finger at him.
Lin Feng did not reply. Four Earth Prisms instantly restrained Ling Yuan Jie's delicate body, and with a flash, he charged toward her.
The fireball in his hand shot forth. His other hand formed a sword gesture, and three condensed Flame Swords flew rapidly toward Ling Yuan Jie.
Surprise appeared in Ling Yuan Jie's eyes. Her body trembled, shattering the Earth Prisms.
With a flick of her whip, she wrapped up the fireball. When the two blazing powers collided, neither showed any sign of dissipating.
Instead, they remained locked in a steady contest. As Lin Feng's fireball was suppressed by Ling Yuan Jie, it bounced violently in all directions, attempting to break free from her control.
Amid the eruption of extreme energy, Ling Yuan Jie's Flame Whip was gradually damaged and began to thin.
As Ling Yuan Jie grew somewhat flustered, the condensed fireball exploded with a boom. Caught off guard, she staggered back several steps.
She shot Lin Feng a glare, dispelled the three Flame Swords in the air, and smoothed out her clothes, which had been thrown into disarray by the explosion.
"Why didn't you tell me this thing could leave your palm and explode?"
Lin Feng gave a light cough. "Accidents are also part of a normal fight."
Ling Yuan Jie waved her hand.
"Fine. But it really is powerful—stronger than it was when you fought the Great Enshrinement."
Lin Feng nodded and looked at Qian Renxue, who seemed lost in thought:
"Xiao Xue, I think I can help you shape your First Soul Vein now.
"Xiao Xue? Xiao Xue?"
"Ah? Oh, right."
Qian Renxue snapped back to her senses and stopped thinking about the whips and chains in her mind.
Lin Feng pressed a hand to his forehead. "What were you daydreaming about just now?"
Qian Renxue's ears reddened as she stuck out her Lilac Tongue. "I wasn't thinking about anything. Don't ask!"
