"Lu Feng, what are your plans next?" Dugu Bo asked doubtfully.
After a series of events, some suspicions about Lu Feng had arisen in Dugu Bo's heart. He had a premonition that there was absolutely some shady business between Lu Feng and Spirit Hall.
However, he had no interest in pursuing these.
As long as it didn't involve his granddaughter, even if Lu Feng sold the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Dugu Bo wouldn't care in the slightest.
Lu Feng fished out a map from his Soul Tool. The material of the map was unrecognizable, but it felt like it had been around for some years.
"Next, I plan to obtain my eighth soul ring. Old man, I need your help."
"Eighth soul ring?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes widened instantly. "Kid, you've already reached level eighty!"
Lu Feng nodded. "My seventh soul ring was a God Bestowed Soul Ring, exceeding the limit of one hundred thousand years, increasing my soul power significantly."
Changing the subject, he said, "Of course, having today's achievements, I mainly relied on my own efforts."
Although it was a joke, Dugu Bo didn't refute him, but nodded as if agreeing.
Whether effort or luck.
Sometimes, luck itself is a kind of strength.
Even for Soul Masters who cultivated to Titled Douluo, who among them wasn't a person with deep fortune?
"If I remember correctly, you... you are only twenty years old this year, right?" Dugu Bo tried hard to calm his emotions, but his slightly trembling tone showed that his heart was far from as calm as on the surface.
"Mhm." Lu Feng nodded slightly. "My life has been like walking on thin ice; now finally..."
"Kid, enough. No need to brag between us."
Dugu Bo interrupted Lu Feng and laughed, "You kid still walking on thin ice? Then wouldn't other Soul Masters have to bury themselves alive out of shame?"
"Hehe." Lu Feng smiled and said seriously, "Old man, I have my eye on a soul beast, but it's a bit troublesome. I'll need to trouble you for my eighth soul ring."
Dugu Bo patted his chest and said, "As long as it's not a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, I'm pretty sure about other soul beasts."
"Oh?" Lu Feng's eyes rolled. "That's really unfortunate; what I have my eye on is exactly a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. How about we forget it? I'll go back and think of another way."
"Hmph, kid, you don't need to provoke me. Since it's a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, let's go scout for intelligence first. No matter what, this old man is also a Titled Douluo; protecting you completely is still no problem."
"Senior has high righteousness; junior admires!"
Outside the Blue Silver Forest, on a hillside.
Lu Feng looked down. In the valley ahead, some plants grew sparsely, looking somewhat desolate.
"Eh, is this it?" Lu Feng looked carefully at the map and then peered into the valley again.
This map was found among Tang Hao's relics, recording exactly the location of the Blue Silver Forest.
According to the records of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, after Five Elements and Four Symbols, came Yin and Yang generating each other.
For his last two soul rings, Lu Feng planned to hunt evil and sacred type soul beasts, or life and death attribute soul beasts.
Through the opposition of attributes, he would comprehend the changes of Yin and Yang, and thereby comprehend the Great Dao.
However, the first group of attribute soul beasts were somewhat rare on the Douluo Continent, so Lu Feng could only use them as a backup.
And for the life attribute soul beast, Lu Feng happened to know one, the Blue Silver King.
No, after absorbing Tang San's bloodline, it might have upgraded to the Blue Silver Emperor.
The two quickly arrived at the valley. Dugu Bo sized up the surroundings, eyes full of doubt. "Kid, is this valley what you were talking about?"
"Correct. If the map is right, this should be a Blue Silver Grass forest."
Dugu Bo touched his chin and said, "Could there be some concealment formation? I read in ancient books that some ancient soul beasts can use some innate soul skills like blindfolds."
"Right." Lu Feng clapped his hands, realizing suddenly.
Immediately, a layer of pale blue energy rose from under his feet.
This was after his Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record upgraded, using the Four Symbols Martial Souls as the formation eyes to deploy a barrier, the Four Symbols Formation.
Once this barrier was formed, it became a domain of its own.
Opening up an independent small world outside the time and space of the Douluo Continent.
Seeing this 'soul skill' of Lu Feng again, the corner of Dugu Bo's eye couldn't help twitching.
Back then, Lu Feng used this move to force out his soul bone skill. If he hadn't acted decisively, he might have been trapped to death in this domain move.
With the expansion of the Four Symbols Formation, gradually, ripples appeared in the air.
Space was squeezed by two different formations, and gradually, a layer of grass appeared.
Lu Feng looked along where the small grass spread and saw an endless expanse of Blue Silver Grass ahead, with thick branches intertwined, looking like a forest.
"Go!" Lu Feng's eyes sharpened, stepping directly into the forest.
Dugu Bo followed closely, looking around vigilantly.
Walking on the path, Lu Feng seemed to feel the emotions of the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. They seemed to be cheering, welcoming him.
"Guest from afar, please come here."
Suddenly, an old voice sounded in Lu Feng's heart.
Lu Feng and Dugu Bo looked at each other; obviously, the other party also heard this voice.
Following the path, the two traveled fast for more than ten minutes and arrived in front of a vine in the center of the forest.
The vines were intertwined, looking like a big tree, thick enough for five or six people to encircle. In the center of the vines, at the condensation point, there was a trace like a human face.
At this moment, its expression seemed to be smiling.
"Guest from afar, welcome to the Blue Silver Forest."
The human face in the center of the vines moved, revealing a very human-like expression, opening its big mouth and actually speaking human language.
Dugu Bo was greatly surprised. One must know that the cultivation of plant-type soul beasts was full of difficulties.
And the soul beast in front of him obviously had reached a hundred thousand years of cultivation.
"Guest, for what matter have you come to the Blue Silver Forest?" The vine said with a smile.
"Uh..." Lu Feng was momentarily speechless.
"Little brother, you being so polite makes it difficult for me. Could it be I have to say directly that I came to kill you?" Lu Feng pondered inwardly.
He instantly gathered his thoughts, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Greetings, Senior Blue Silver Emperor. I heard the Blue Silver Clan has a special ability to gather energy to help Soul Masters condense soul rings without damaging the Blue Silver Grass?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was greatly surprised instantly.
Such a magical ability, wouldn't that mean Soul Masters wouldn't have to worry about soul rings in the future?
The vine turned into a smiling face and said, "Correct. I wonder which one needs a soul ring?"
"Hmm? So smooth?" Lu Feng wondered secretly in his heart.
The vine spoke again, "According to my perception, the soul ring you need is between sixty thousand and one hundred thousand years. The energy required for this age is just a drop in the bucket for us."
Lu Feng touched his chin, surprised: "So amazing?"
"Mhm." The Blue Silver King smiled. "I feel an aura of light on you, so you are the best friend of our clan. It is right to sacrifice a little for a friend."
Lu Feng nodded, summoned the [Knuckle Duster Martial Soul], sat cross-legged, held his breath, and concentrated.
At this time, Dugu Bo patted his shoulder. "Kid, wait a moment. Why do I feel things seem too smooth?"
Lu Feng whispered, "It's okay. Old man, aren't you a Titled Douluo? Just protect me later."
Dugu Bo nodded, then stared vigilantly at the vine.
Gradually, a blue energy rose, slowly gathering into Lu Feng's body.
This energy poured out from every Blue Silver Grass, gathering like a blue ocean.
Dugu Bo looked at everything in front of him in shock. Immediately, a word inexplicably appeared in his mind: Sacrifice.
However, after ordinary soul beasts sacrificed, they would die. But now, every Blue Silver Grass only paid a tiny bit of energy, which presumably shouldn't have much impact on themselves.
However, the next moment, a sudden change occurred.
Two vines flew out and pierced into Lu Feng's skin. The gathered energy was quickly recovered, gathering into the Blue Silver Emperor's body through the vines.
"What are you doing!" Dugu Bo raged.
The Serpent Emperor Martial Soul possessed him instantly, nine soul rings rose, and a surge of soul power oscillated outward.
"Hahaha, foolish humans!"
The Blue Silver Emperor laughed loudly. "Actually believing that the Blue Silver Clan would give energy to outsiders for free?"
"Too late! Too late! Once the soul ring absorption starts, it cannot stop! This Soul Master's Martial Soul is already crippled. His body will serve as nourishment to feed my people."
As he spoke, Lu Feng's [Knuckle Duster Martial Soul] became more and more transparent, the black light attached to it gradually dissipated, and his whole aura gradually withered.
A layer of anger appeared on the Blue Silver Emperor's face as he said to Dugu Bo, "And you! Although your body is full of fishy smell, as fertilizer, it is barely acceptable."
