Chapter 13: Chapter -13 The Strongest Talent in the Continent.
Chapter -13.
Chen Feng stretched out his limbs, feeling a bit stiff, and then activated the Yin Yang Technique. He could feel a surge of soul power flowing through his meridians, much more abundant than before. This energy coursed through his sternum, ribs, and spine, giving them a lovely greenish glow.
As the Ice Emperor merged with him, Chen Feng's soul power broke through the level 30 barrier! Even after absorbing the third soul ring, he could feel his power continuing to grow. Not only did his cultivation level rise, but his physical strength also multiplied; after absorbing the Ice Emperor's torso bone, he felt like a whole new person.
Where he once felt just a bit stronger than other soul masters at his level, he now felt like a humanoid beast! Chen Feng was confident he could handle a ten-thousand-year soul ring for his third one.
Suddenly, a dazzling ring of colors appeared beneath his feet, glowing a striking blood-red, noble and cool like a sea of blood, radiating an air of majesty. On this blood-red halo, four golden patterns sparkled, creating a stunning contrast against the white snowy landscape.
This magnificent blood-red soul ring, adorned with four golden patterns, was the first soul ring of his second martial soul, the Ice Emperor, and it was an impressive four hundred thousand years old! Yes, you heard that right—four hundred thousand years! During the fusion, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm helped the Ice Emperor break through its bottleneck, boosting the soul ring's age from three hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred to four hundred thousand.
While it might seem like just a hundred years difference, the quality was immense! It represented a leap from three golden patterns on a hundred-thousand-year soul ring to four golden patterns.
As this soul ring appeared, Chen Feng's aura shifted dramatically, radiating a wild energy that felt ancient. His body didn't change much on the outside, but a huge tattoo emerged on his back, shimmering with vibrant colors, showcasing the impressive pincers and the enchanting green tail of the Ice Emperor Scorpion.
This tattoo was massive, nearly covering his entire back, with six long legs wrapping around his ribcage and a pair of pincers resting on his shoulders, while the long tail curled down his spine, resting on his right hip.
But the most exciting change was in Chen Feng's arms, which were now covered in a layer of diamond-like particles. These particles were dense, about the size of mung beans and shaped like hexagons, giving his arms a brilliant shine that contrasted beautifully with the huge tattoo on his back.
"Wow, is this the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion? What an incredible beast martial soul! It really boosts my physical abilities and has this amazing ultimate ice power," Chen Feng marveled at the strength of the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion martial soul.
"Chen Feng, from this day forward, you are the most talented person on the Douluo Continent! Our plan has worked!" exclaimed the tired yet thrilled voice of the Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Thanks for all your hard work, Dream! How's the Ice Emperor doing?" Chen Feng asked.
"The Ice Emperor is doing well and will wake up soon," replied the Dream Ice Silkworm.
"After merging with the Ice Emperor, I've broken through the level 30 barrier. With my current strength, I can handle a ten-thousand-year soul ring. This means my soul ring setup will be quite impressive," Chen Feng explained.
Understanding what he meant, the Dream Ice Silkworm replied, "Leave it to me! My Ice Silkworm clan has a natural ability for simulation, and I'm the best at it. Just watch!"
"Do you want me to attach my million-year soul ring to your third soul ring?" the Dream Ice Silkworm asked.
Chen Feng shook his head. "That would be too wasteful! Since you don't need to transform into my soul ring and can stay in my Sea of Spirit, let's wait until I reach level 70. Then, you can become my seventh soul ring. At that point, I'll have an incredible million-year soul ring martial soul true body!"
After a moment of thought, the Dream Ice Silkworm excitedly said, "The strength of a soul master's seventh soul skill, martial soul true body, is directly linked to the age of the soul ring. If my million-year soul ring becomes your martial soul true body, it will be extraordinarily powerful!"
"It could even let you, a Soul Sage, challenge a Title Douluo! Wow, that's just too strong! Hahaha! When you reach Title Douluo, who on the continent could stand against you? Hahaha!"
In Chen Feng's Sea of Spirit, the Dream Ice Silkworm was bouncing around with excitement, nearly soaring into the sky.
"Let's do it your way, Chen Feng! My million-year soul ring will transform into your seventh soul ring. For now, we can go with a ten-thousand-year Ice Silkworm for your third soul ring."
Three hours later, the voice of the Ice Silkworm God—Dream Ice Silkworm—echoed in Chen Feng's Sea of Spirit, "Chen Feng, over there! That's it! There's a ten-thousand-year Ice Silkworm! Its cultivation is just right for you. Hahaha, trying to simulate in front of my ancestor? You've got a long way to go!"
With a swift move, Chen Feng easily defeated the ten-thousand-year Ice Silkworm, which had no offensive capabilities. A circle of black soul rings rose from it.
Chen Feng picked up the Ice Silkworm and found a safe spot to absorb its soul ring. This Ice Silkworm granted him a soul skill called Illusory Blade. With the power of the Breaking Soul Blade, Chen Feng could create illusions at will, making it tough for others to tell what was real and what was fake.
Not only could he use it to hide himself, but it was also fantastic for confusing enemies. After absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring, Chen Feng's soul power reached level 33, and the first and second soul rings were upgraded to ten-thousand-year levels by the Dream Ice Silkworm.
As a result, his soul skills became even more powerful. The first soul skill, Blade Sharpening, which initially only enhanced his attack power and the sharpness of the Breaking Soul Blade, now also significantly increased its penetration power. Chen Feng's Breaking Soul Blade was now even more formidable!
The second soul skill, Teleportation, was upgraded from five meters to an impressive fifteen meters.
At that moment, Chen Feng felt a strong urge from his cultivation method, as if it was guiding him to seek something out. With his breakthrough to Soul Master, his cultivation method progressed from being just a concept to reaching the threshold of entry.
The Yin-Yang Technique has four layers: the first layer is entry, the second layer is minor success, the third layer is major success, and the final layer is great perfection. The Yin-Yang Technique requires a steady supply of yin energy from the start to keep it going.
As the saying goes, "Lonely yin does not give birth, solitary yang does not grow; all things bear yin and embrace yang, and the vital energy is harmonized." Without this balance, the cultivation method can't improve, and progress will slow down. If the necessary yin energy isn't provided for too long, there's even a risk of madness.
Unless the Yin-Yang Technique is cultivated to major success, reaching the realm of "yang extreme gives birth to yin," it will always need to replenish yin energy.
