Soul Bone, Will Domain
The Frozen Forest seemed to have no sunset, and Wang Feng did not know how much time had passed, but he guessed it had been over a month! His injuries had mostly healed, though not completely.
While he was healing, Yu Yuanzhen and ten elders of his clan had searched extensively through the forest's outskirts for over half a month. But even the outskirts of the Frozen Forest were vast and boundless. How much could they search in half a month? In the end, they could only give up.
Another half a month passed before Wang Feng finally made a full recovery.
This time, although the energy Yu Yuanzhen had left inside him had erupted and nearly cost him his life, it had not been without benefits.
But just how much he had gained would depend on how many levels he could advance after absorbing the Soul Ring.
Wang Feng stood up and looked at the figure in golden armor by the stream. It was as though he had not moved since they arrived. "Elder, I've recovered."
"Good. Then wait to absorb a Soul Ring!"
"Elder, I still don't know which elder you are."
"Qian Daoliu."
"Great Enshrined!" Wang Feng was stunned. He had heard of several people in Spirit Hall's Elder Hall, and Qian Daoliu happened to be one he knew. Not only was he the Great Enshrined of the Elder Hall, he was also a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo.
Along with his shock, Wang Feng was also puzzled. With Qian Daoliu's strength, killing Yu Yuanzhen should have been no problem! Why had he fled with him?
Forget it. Why dwell on it? After all, the strong had their own concerns.
Qian Daoliu's figure flickered and abruptly vanished. Wang Feng tensed, but Qian Daoliu soon appeared before his eyes again, standing in midair with an enormous Soul Beast in his hand.
Qian Daoliu tossed the Soul Beast down, and everything shook with a thunderous crash. Wang Feng was delighted as he looked at it.
It was an enormous rock ox. Although it was already on its last breath, Wang Feng could still sense the presence of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast emanating from it. It was very strong.
Qian Daoliu landed nearby and said indifferently, "This is a fifteen-thousand-year-old Vajra Rock Ox King. Absorb its Soul Ring."
"Thank you, Great Enshrined." Wang Feng bowed to Qian Daoliu, then turned and leaped onto the Vajra Rock Ox King's head. Without hesitation, he drove the Black Feather Ink Dragon Spear down hard.
He then recalled his Martial Soul, jumped to the ground, and sat down cross-legged.
Having done this once before, he found it went even more smoothly this time.
As soon as the Vajra Rock Ox King's Soul Ring fully emerged, Wang Feng began absorbing it.
A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was different from a thousand-year or hundred-year one. For a level-twenty Soul Master, absorbing it took a long time.
Qian Daoliu stood nearby with his eyes closed, motionless as a statue, waiting for Wang Feng to finish.
Time passed quickly, and the ten-day mark came around again. Wang Feng still found it difficult to absorb a fifteen-thousand-year Soul Ring with his physical strength alone. In the end, the demon spirit appeared once more, allowing him to successfully absorb the Vajra Rock Ox King's Soul Ring.
Just then, a light suddenly shone from the Vajra Rock Ox King's body. A bone emerged within the light and flew in front of Wang Feng.
"Vajra Rock Ox King Torso Soul Bone!"
Qian Daoliu opened his eyes and looked at Wang Feng, a trace of surprise appearing in them, though it vanished in an instant.
Wang Feng naturally sensed the Soul Bone as well. He hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at the bone before him, overjoyed. This was something Soul Masters dreamed of obtaining! He had never expected one to appear before him.
But rather than absorb it, he looked at Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu naturally understood what Wang Feng meant and said, "Absorb it! This Soul Bone matches your Soul Ring. It should produce an unexpected effect."
"Yes."
Wang Feng nodded excitedly. He naturally wanted to absorb it, but Qian Daoliu had helped hunt and kill the Soul Beast, so Qian Daoliu should decide who received the Soul Bone.
Without hesitation, Wang Feng began absorbing the Soul Bone.
Absorbing a Soul Bone was much easier than absorbing a Soul Ring. Unlike a Soul Ring, it would not cause a backlash, and the process went smoothly.
Several hours later, Wang Feng finally fused with the Vajra Rock Ox King Torso Soul Bone, obtaining his first Soul Bone.
Although his eyes were closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked very happy.
Once his increased Soul Power had fully stabilized and he had adjusted to it, Wang Feng opened his eyes, stood up, and bowed deeply to Qian Daoliu.
"Thank you, Great Enshrined. If you ever need anything from me in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
He was very happy, because his gains this time had been tremendous.
Qian Daoliu nodded and asked, "What are your Soul Skill and Soul Bone Skill?"
"My Soul Ring Skill is Vajra Indestructibility. It increases my defense by one hundred percent for a certain period of time. My Soul Bone Skill is Will Domain. Anything I want to protect within the domain receives a defensive boost, while enemies are slowed and their Soul Power consumption increases fivefold. If I use Will Domain together with Vajra Indestructibility, enemies within the domain will also take continuous damage."
Wang Feng spoke with immense excitement. Both abilities were defensive, and they could almost keep him invincible, unharmed by any attack.
"Mm, not bad."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, then took Wang Feng straight into the clouds and once again sped toward Spirit City.
Qian Daoliu was so fast that even with his eyes open, Wang Feng could not make out anything before him. It was as though time itself were rushing past, giving him the illusion that he was about to transmigrate again.
Suddenly, the sky went dark, startling Wang Feng. But he immediately realized that they had probably left the Frozen Forest!
By the time dawn came again, they finally slowed down. Wang Feng could already see Spirit City, and in the blink of an eye, he and Qian Daoliu appeared inside Spirit Hall.
Outside Bibi Dong's courtyard, Qian Daoliu set Wang Feng down, turned, and left.
"Thank you, Great Enshrined," Wang Feng said again.
Qian Daoliu suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Wang Feng and said coldly, "Remember, I only saved you for my granddaughter's sake. If you dare let her down, I'll kill you, even if you become a Titled Douluo."
With that, Qian Daoliu turned and left, his figure dissolving into a streak of golden light.
Wang Feng frowned. Qian Daoliu's granddaughter? Who?
He didn't know. He would go in and ask his teacher!
At the thought of his teacher, Wang Feng smiled excitedly. He had not seen her for over a year, and, truth be told, he missed her quite a bit.
"Teacher, I'm back!"
Wang Feng shouted as he rushed into Bibi Dong's courtyard.
There was no one in the courtyard, so Wang Feng rushed straight toward Bibi Dong's room.
