Chapter 190 - 46

Chapter 46: Soaring Combat PowerYe Feng was delighted by the second awakening of his Body Martial Soul, but deep down, he felt a bit disappointed.After all, he had consumed a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone and top-tier herbs, yet he still hadn't awakened his blood and qi power.However, that trace of disappointment vanished when he sensed his own strength, leaving only shock and excitement in his eyes.Ye Feng had initially thought that the 100% increase in combat power from the silver-level awakening would stack on him like the Spirit Ability of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.At most, it would add another 100% combat power boost on top of the 500% all-around enhancement.Unexpectedly, this 100% combat power increase was directly added to the Spirit itself.It wasn't additive with the percentage increases from Spirit Abilities, but multiplicative!In other words, his actual combat power increase was 1000%!A tenfold increase in combat power truly startled Ye Feng, and what followed was sheer ecstasy.On second thought, it made sense, since the second awakening of a Body Martial Soul directly elevated the quality of the Spirit, unrelated to spirit rings, so such an increase was normal.But understanding and knowing were one thing; he still couldn't help but feel excited.Feeling the surging power within him, Ye Feng couldn't help but clench his right fist.He assumed a stance ready to throw a punch, muscles bulging, showcasing streamlined contours.Then, with force from his feet, he thrust his right fist toward the sky.His right fist, carrying immense power, shot out like a slingshot, producing a whip-like crack. The fist wind swept through the valley, momentarily dispersing the ice and fire energy before it converged again.After throwing that punch, Ye Feng felt much more relieved and didn't throw a second one.After all, he was at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; if he accidentally destroyed any Immortal Herb, it would be a great loss.He adjusted his breathing for a moment, and seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to meditate instead of sleeping.He had gained a lot during this period: he had condensed his spirit power core, awakened his Spirit to silver level, and even passively increased his spirit power by two levels, reaching level 55.Counting the time, a month had already passed; it was time to leave.As for the mental force core and blood and qi power, the former was hindered by insufficient mental force, and the latter could only be pursued gradually.The night passed quickly. Before leaving, he deliberately took a bath in the springs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.For Ye Feng, who had consumed the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs, neither the extreme yin cold spring nor the blazing yang spring could harm him.Instead, bathing in the alternating cold and hot springs felt novel to him.After bathing, he changed into clean clothes.Ye Feng again chose a black outfit with golden patterns. He needed to rush back to Heaven Dou City, and this outfit was most suitable.Before leaving, he went to check on Ah Yin. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, she was growing extremely well, yet there was still no sign of awakening.Ye Feng buried the lusterless Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone into her roots. The spirit power and life force within the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone had completely dried up, leaving only a useless shell.Since it was of no use to Ye Feng, he simply returned it to Ah Yin, hoping it might accelerate her growth.Ye Feng turned and left. Soon after, Ah Yin's roots coiled around the entire Spirit Bone. As a blue-gold light emerged, the Spirit Bone softened and merged into the roots.Ah Yin's leaves swayed, faintly emitting a blue-gold glow. Could it be that she was growing even better?The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located in a valley, surrounded by peaks, with a poison formation made of Bi Lin Qi Jue Flowers outside.Ye Feng leaped onto the mountain peak in a few steps and charged straight into the poison formation, ignoring the green poisonous mist.Now that he was immune to all poisons, most poisons in the world had no effect on him.After leaving the poison formation, Ye Feng immediately used the Sky Dance Technique, soaring through the air, and flew toward Heaven Dou City.While traveling, he didn't forget to practice his self-created Spirit Ability.Within half a day, Ye Feng arrived outside Heaven Dou City. He returned to the ground and entered the city like an ordinary person.Heaven Dou City prohibited Spirit Masters from flying. Although Ye Feng didn't care about such rules, he also didn't like attracting attention.He walked along the streets and arrived at Heaven Dou Academy.Just as he reached the academy gate, he sensed a sharp aura unlike any before, similar to when he first faced Dugu Bo.But it was even stronger than Dugu Bo's.Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and he had a bad feeling.He hurried to his residence in the teacher's dormitory. It was noon, so Jin Ling should be having lunch at home.At that moment, outside Ye Feng's residence, a young man with a face like jade and a gentle, refined appearance stood at the door. Beside him was a white-haired youth with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and behind them followed a beautiful young girl.The girl wore a light blue long dress, with long hair cascading like a waterfall to her waist. She was extremely beautiful, but the impatience and annoyance in her brows marred her beauty.Ning Rongrong tugged at Ning Fengzhi's hand and said coquettishly:"Dad, let me go back, okay? I still have to go to the Great Spirit Arena to compete with my friends."Ning Fengzhi rubbed Ning Rongrong's head and said earnestly:"Rongrong, you are the heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the future Sect Master. You must consider the Sect's future.This time, I'm introducing you to two peerless geniuses, and they are master and disciple. If you build a good relationship with the master and keep him in the Sect, it will ensure the Sect's safety for a hundred years. Then, I'll let you return to Shrek."Ning Rongrong pouted and muttered softly:"What peerless geniuses? They can't compare to Third Brother."Ning Fengzhi was, after all, a high-level Spirit Saint, and he heard every word Ning Rongrong said.Ning Fengzhi sighed. Although letting Ning Rongrong run away from home and join Shrek Academy had indeed tempered her arrogant and willful personality,it also made her determined to stay at Shrek Academy and form the Shrek Seven Devils with other students.Even though he wanted her to attend Heaven Dou Academy for better education and resources, she refused to leave.But seeing that the Shrek Seven Devils all had decent talent, he let her be.It wasn't until a month ago that he heard news of Ye Feng again.After two years of silence, he reappeared in Heaven Dou City with a disciple.His disciple, at just six years old, defeated the genius Yu Tianheng of the younger generation in the Spirit Master's world.Moreover, according to a certain Dream Committee member who wished to remain anonymous, Ye Feng's cultivation had broken through to Spirit King.A 14-year-old Spirit King was unprecedented in the history of the continent.This also made Ning Fengzhi determined to win Ye Feng over to the Sect and make him the future guardian Douluo.Ning Fengzhi knocked on the door and waited for a moment. The door opened a crack, revealing a brilliant golden head.Jin Ling poked her head out from the crack, looked at the visitors, didn't recognize them, and slammed the door shut with a bang.Ning Fengzhi was about to speak but was met with a closed door. His smile stiffened, and behind him, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but burst out laughing before quickly suppressing it.Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, then called out to the door:"Little girl, is Ye Feng home?"After a moment, footsteps approached, and Jin Ling poked her head out again."Are you looking for my master? He left days ago, saying he had to fulfill an important promise. Please go back."Ning Fengzhi was momentarily stunned, a flash of surprise and disappointment crossing his face.Ye Feng usually kept a low profile and rarely interacted with others, so information about him was scarce, which meant Ning Fengzhi didn't know Ye Feng had already left.Even though he knew Ye Feng wasn't there, Ning Fengzhi didn't leave.Instead, he discreetly sized up Jin Ling, his gaze lingering on her ears, tail, and pupils for a moment.Ning Fengzhi slightly bowed and gave Jin Ling a warm smile."Little girl, your name is Jin Ling, right?"However, Jin Ling wasn't buying it. Seeing that they showed no intention of leaving, she frowned slightly, looking wary, and was about to close the door whena crisp voice came from afar:"Yes, she is Jin Ling, my disciple."
