Chapter 18: Chapter 18
Chapter 18: No Matter How Strong He Is, the Breeze Blows Across the Hills
"Okay, Master." Ye Feng replied.
Ye Feng walked to the side of the violent gorilla, holding a dagger in hand. He hesitated for a moment. What he was about to kill was a spirit beast, one that resembled humans in many ways.
Ye Feng hesitated, and Chen Xin did not urge him. After all, everyone has their first time.
After pausing for five or six seconds, Ye Feng quickly swept the dagger across the neck of the violent gorilla.
Roar!
A miserable cry came from the violent gorilla's throat. Blood splattered onto Ye Feng's clothes. The violent gorilla covered its throat with its palm and struggled for more than ten seconds before it stopped moving.
Ye Feng imitated Chen Xin's gestures and formed seals with his hands. A faint light flew out from the body of the violent gorilla and condensed into a halo above its body.
"Sit down and absorb it. I will protect you so you won't be disturbed in any way," Chen Xin ordered.
"Um."
Ye Feng responded and sat cross-legged. The halo flew above his head and suddenly shrank rapidly, becoming the size of a bracelet, before being placed on the Nine Hearts Mysterious Tang spirit in the palm of Ye Feng's right hand.
Ye Feng felt as though his right hand had been submerged in hot water. A surge of hot energy rushed into his body wildly, making his body tremble slightly.
"Let him be as strong as he can be, let the breeze blow over the hills. Let the energy flow into the body, let the spirit guard the sea of consciousness."
In Ye Feng's ears, the guiding voice of Chen Xin came.
Ye Feng followed Chen Xin's words and allowed the hot energy to flow into his meridians and internal organs. His consciousness stayed in his brain, keeping him aware and awake.
After an unknown period of time, when everything returned to calm, Ye Feng realized that each petal of his Nine Hearts Mysterious Tang had developed a red pattern. In the center, a core had turned red.
Success!
Ye Feng was ecstatic.
Ye Feng had never imagined that obtaining a spirit ring would be so refreshing. No wonder everyone wanted to become a spirit master, and why spirit masters sought out more spirit rings. This exhilarating sensation could only be felt, not described.
"What about spirit skills? What is your first spirit skill?" Chen Xin asked curiously.
Ye Feng's mind moved, and the yellow spirit ring around him lit up. At the same time, the red lines on the Nine Hearts Mysterious Tang spirit in his hand, especially the one among the ten cores that had turned red, lit up brightly.
A red light enveloped Chen Xin's body.
Chen Xin closed his eyes and opened them again, muttering in a calm tone, "The blood flow in my body has increased by 30%, and my speed and strength have also increased by 30%."
"Yes."
Ye Feng nodded proudly and smiled, "I named the first spirit skill of Nine Hearts Mysterious Tang Boiling Blood of Beasts. This is a growth-type spirit skill. Every time my spirit power increases by one level, my speed and strength can increase by one percent. My current spirit power level is level 30, so the increase is 30%. The range of action is fixed at 40 meters around me."
"For every level increase in spirit power, the effect increases by one percent. Such auxiliary ability, if not limited by range, is enough to rival Rongrong's first and second spirit skills." Chen Xin smiled rarely and patted Ye Feng's shoulder gently.
For a spirit beast with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit, every time the spirit master's spirit power increases by ten levels, the auxiliary effect will increase by ten percent. In this regard, Ye Feng's auxiliary ability was not inferior to that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. If it weren't for the range limitation, Ye Feng's auxiliary ability would surpass that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
That said, the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda was one-way, while Ye Feng's support was range-based.
"Master, what type of spirit beast do you think I should choose for my second martial spirit?" Ye Feng asked with concern.
"Control system!" Chen Xin replied.
"Is this really okay?" Ye Feng asked, sounding unsure.
"Of course. Assistance can be divided into three directions. The first is gain-type assistance, enhancing the abilities of teammates; the second is weakening-type assistance, weakening the opponent's abilities; as for the third, it is control-type. Controlling the opponent to assist teammates in attacking the enemy. No matter which one, it's about assisting teammates in their attacks," Chen Xin explained.
"But... aren't spirit masters divided into auxiliary and control types?" Ye Feng asked doubtfully.
"It's better to have no books than to believe in them blindly. The auxiliary system and the control system have their intersections. You cannot simply treat them differently. Moreover, you have the Xuanyuan Sword, a strong attack system martial spirit. If you can control your opponent, then what's the difference between that and cutting a scarecrow?" Chen Xin patiently answered Ye Feng's question. He had already decided to train Ye Feng to be an unprecedented individual spirit master.
The Soul Hunting Forest was vast, with many spirit beasts. However, only a few caught Chen Xin's attention. Along the way, Ye Feng and Chen Xin encountered some spirit beasts of the control system that were of the right age, but none met Chen Xin's requirements.
"Huh?" Chen Xin murmured.
"What's wrong, Master?" Ye Feng asked.
Out of curiosity, Ye Feng used his third martial spirit, the Eye of Hell, and his vision improved greatly. He looked in the direction Chen Xin was focused on and saw a giant snow-white eagle flying toward them.
The giant eagle flew through the forest. The spirit power around it was yellow, and its age was about one hundred years. Its feathers were as beautiful as ice crystals, and as it flew, it left a long snow trail behind.
"Snow Eagle," Chen Xin blurted out, looking at the giant eagle. "You've found your second spirit ring."
Bang, bang, bang!
Chen Xin flew with his sword. As a Titled Douluo, he could defeat the Snow Eagle in seconds. It was another one-sided battle. Soon, the Snow Eagle was defeated by Chen Xin, who grabbed its wings and tossed it in front of Ye Feng.
"It's rumored that the Snow Eagle has a trace of Ice Phoenix blood. This Snow Eagle is seven hundred years old, just right for your second spirit ring," Chen Xin ordered.
"Master, it's a spirit beast with an ice attribute!" Ye Feng reminded.
"It is indeed an ice-attributed spirit beast. However, your Nine Hearts Mysterious Tang martial spirit is a mutated martial spirit. Your spirit power is the same as Feng Zhi's—attributeless. The biggest advantage of attributeless spirit power is that it does not reject spirit rings of various attributes. Therefore, you can absorb the soul rings of ice-attributed spirit beasts without any issue," Chen Xin explained, referencing the records he had seen in an ancient book.
"Oh." Ye Feng nodded in understanding.
"Start absorbing its spirit ring. Your master will protect you," Chen Xin urged.
"Okay, Master." Ye Feng nodded.
Ye Feng took out a dagger from the storage soul guide. He squatted down and was about to end the Snow Eagle's life when a slightly hoarse shout came from the front.
"Stop!"
