Chapter 235.
If Shui Bing'er is telling the truth, the other two guys are likely to become soul rings of the Soul Hall's soul masters. Wang Feng couldn't tolerate this.
If they didn't become a soul ring, the Soul Hall would still have the upper hand. Either way, it means trouble, going to the Soul Hall main palace for the finals seems to be dangerous for him no matter what.
Suddenly, Wang Feng thought about the system check-in. Going to the Supreme Pontiff/Pope Palace to check in, with no requirements, offers additional rewards. This requirement is different from the previous three check-ins.
"Could the system be trying to warn me about the danger of going to the Supreme Pontiff/Pope Palace? Is it truly without strings attached?"
Thinking back, Wang Feng shook his head. Regardless of the danger, he must go. He entered the competition as Jiu Yikai with another purpose. Unexpected circumstances like this makes his plan even more uncertain.
"I can't harm a Title Douluo...yet. There are only three ways." After discussing with the Grandmaster, Wang Feng went to practice alone. The first is to rely on the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire can kill regardless of the opponent's level. To be honest, the karma of a Titled Douluo level powerhouse is exceptionally heavy. Which Titled Douluo hasn't had hundreds of battles and kills? Once affected by the karmic fire, even if they don't die immediately, their combat effectiveness will drop drastically.
However, there's a serious issue. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire can't be used as a concealed weapon. Not everyone is as unsuspecting as before to let you burn them in illusion.
Normal Titled Douluo would not easily take your attack. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire can't be used as a hidden weapon. Wang Feng urged the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to emerge, but it couldn't be just simply thrown at others. Even if it succeeded once and was discovered, it would be even less likely to succeed the second time.
The second method relied on the God Killing Spear, and Wang Feng dared to conclude that even Titled Douluo could not completely heal from the wounds caused by the God Killing Spear. As long as it inflicted severe wounds, even Titled Douluo would eventually succumb. However, for the same reason, it's not easy for a Title Douluo to harm others.
Er Ming's large body and straightforward nature made him a straightforward fighter. In Wang Feng's first fight with Er Ming, he managed to inflict a lot of damage with the God Killing Spear, but even so, Er Ming's vitality wouldn't fade immediately because the wounds weren't fatal.
These are the two most effective methods Wang Feng has found to kill a Titled Douluo powerhouse so far. But neither is easy!
Even utilizing [Slow World]is quite challenging and doesn't have the effect of an instant kill. The last method, was with the Pangu Axe, but still it can't instantly kill a Titled Douluo unless Wang Feng reaches level 50.
For now, the Pangu Axe can only injure a Title Douluo and consumes a lot of energy.
"Perhaps, I can combine the two," Wang Feng thought.
In order to fully prepare for the trip to the Soul Hall, Wang Feng pondered for two days and finally came up with an idea.
"What if I coat the Armored Black Thorn with Red Lotus Karmic Fire and shoot it out at the speed of the thorn? Even a Titled Douluo might not be able to escape it." Wang Feng thought of combining the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and the Armored Black Thorns.
Armored Black Thorns stab was a significant killer, not inferior to Xiao San's hidden weapons, maybe even stronger. Its ability to break defenses was even more terrifying. If the Armored Black Thorns, as thin as a hair, was blasted out with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, it could cause great damage to those with extremely high soul power, even Titled Douluo.
Though not perfect, this method gave Wang Feng a chance to attack Titled Douluo level powerhouse.
"What's wrong with me? Why do I want to kill Titled Douluo?" Wang Feng pondered, looking a bit gloomy after two days of deep thought. Fortunately, he also found a way to feel better.
"By the way, I remember that Xiao San seemed to be depressed too. I wonder how he's doing?" Wang Feng thought aloud as he walked towards the cabin outside the forest where Liu Erlong was previously.
Losing to SKywater Academy must have been a big blow, especially to Tang San. However, upon arriving at the cabin, Wang Feng didn't see the discouraged Tang San. Instead, Tang San was practicing with Blue Silver Grass, and his mood seemed very stable.
"Huh, this is different from what I expected," Wang Feng remarked, surprised as he looked at Tang San.
At that moment, Tang San was practicing his control skills, reaching the four-stage of the Heart Separation Control technique, able to control four strands of Blue Silver Grass simultaneously to perform different tasks. When he saw Wang Feng approaching, he looked surprised.
"Brother Feng, what brings you here?" Tang San retracted the Blue Silver Grass and walked over.
"I heard from the master two days ago that you were feeling down... I just wanted to check on you," Wang Feng said, noticing that Tang San had just finished training, full of energy, and not at all depressed.
"I was wondering about that too..." Tang San smiled. "I came back that day feeling a little down... because I always thought that I and the others were the top and strongest among people our age. Even with my soul rings, unless if its you, I thought we're the strongest. But I didn't expect to encounter so many strong opponents in this qualifier."
Tang San sighed, "I won't even mention Jiu Yikai, even Skywater Academy managed to beat us, and when Shui Bing'er faced us, she didn't even use her fourth soul ability. In that icy environment, I couldn't find any way to break through. I could only watch my teammates lose their effectiveness one by one. In the end, I also failed... I felt really lost at that moment."
"It wasn't until then that I suddenly realized that my Blue Silver Grass... is just a waste of a martial soul." Tang San shook his head lightly. "No matter how powerful the soul rings are, it won't change a thing."
Wang Feng nodded and said, "There's a concept called the barrel effect, meaning how much water a barrel can hold doesn't depend on the longest stave, but on the shortest."
Wang Feng gestured towards the wooden barrel in the vegetable garden outside the wooden house.
'But Xiao San, your Blue Silver Grass, is the Blue Silver Emperor...' Wang Feng thought to himself.
Tang San was taken aback. "That's true, my Blue Silver Grass is inherently too weak. No matter how strong my soul rings are, they can't bridge the huge gap with high-quality martial souls!"
"So after that battle, I was very disheartened. I even thought about cultivating my second martial soul... Feng'ge, you know? My second soul is the Clear Sky Hammer. At least, this was given to me by my father. It's a powerful martial soul. But after thinking about it for two days, I didn't choose that path... because the master advised me that I shouldn't start until I reach the 70th or 80th level, and the effect would be greater then."
"But for a while, I was in a lot of pain and hesitation... so..."
"So what?" Wang Feng asked.
Tang San clenched his fists, his face filled with excitement. "So, I turned my pain into motivation and continued to practice!"
"Xiao San, your energetic appearance is quite different from what I imagined."
Tang San said. "Brother Feng, don't be surprised," he continued with a smile. "Ever since a few years ago, Xiao Wu and I have been sparring with you, and we've hardly won, even after joining Shrek Academy. The seven of us have never defeated you. We've failed many times."
"In the past two days, whenever I was struggling with pain, I thought about all those failures. What's a little pain compared to that? After being defeated by you, I just need to cheer up, right?"
"I also believe that no matter how weak the Blue Silver Grass is, it will eventually become extremely powerful!" Tang San's words made Wang Feng pause. It made sense.
Wang Feng looked at Tang San, who was full of vitality, and sighed deeply in his heart. It seemed that they had both changed a lot. For a moment, Wang Feng was speechless.
"Hahahaha, the little monster speaks well!" a familiar laugh interrupted the moment. "I haven't seen you in a few months, and I didn't expect you to become even more energetic, little monsters."
Tang San and Wang Feng recognized the voice immediately. Dugu Bo.
After Dugu Bo had taken Dugu Yan to let Tang San detoxify, he left the academy a few months ago, his whereabouts unknown.
A green light flashed, and Dugu Bo's figure slowly emerged in the distance. After a few months, his complexion had improved a lot, and the green hair, once filled with toxins, had become black and beautiful. His face was rosy, and his eyes sparkled.
"Old poison?" Tang San exclaimed in surprise. "Why are you back? Where have you been all this time?"
Dugu Bo smiled without a word, walking in front of the two of them. He placed his hands on their shoulders and used his soul power to sense them slightly before expressing his surprise.
"Wow, you guys have improved so fast? It seems like you haven't been slacking off in the past six months!"
More than half a year ago, he remembered they walked out of the eyes of Ice and Fire Duality Lake, and they hadn't reached the 40th level yet!
But now…
