Chapter 304.
Tang San nodded lightly. Yes, Brother Feng had many secrets. Even though he grew up with Brother Feng, Tang San realized he hadn't fully understand him. In the Pope's Palace, watching him fight two Titled Douluo alone, Tang San found the familiar Brother Feng so strange. So strong!
Was that the power a teenager should have?
"Alright, don't think too much. You'll have a chance to meet him. From now on, I will answer your questions while training you…"
Listening to his father's words, Tang San's mind slowly settled.
...…
After escaping from Qian Daoliu, Wang Feng rushed all the way. By the early morning of the next day, his injuries had almost healed. A night of meditation had also replenished his soul power fully, and he found that after this battle, his soul power level was about to break through. This was good news. However, Wang Feng wasn't very happy. The power Soul Hall have had given him a clear and profound understanding of the top forces in this world. Wang Feng knew he had to do everything possible to improve his strength next.
Although the next check-in location was in the Slaughter City, Wang Feng suspected that the system required him to check in at the deepest part of the city. He couldn't go to the Slaughter Capital recklessly, his soul power level and soul rings were insufficient. Most importantly, Wang Feng didn't know the location of the Slaughter City. He knew very little about this mysterious place and had never heard anyone speak of it.
"First, let's head to the far north," Wang Feng decided. The extreme north, more precisely. There was no specific place in this world like the far north, it was just the soul beast forest in the north. He decided to go because Shui Bing'er had mentioned meeting Yaya on the periphery of this forest. However, Wang Feng did not sense the presence of the little blue bird in the Soul Hall, indicating it was likely still in this icy cold soul beast forest in the north.
It was an opportunity to practice while looking for news about Qingqing (the birrrb).
"It's a pity I didn't take Hu Liena with me… otherwise, I could have asked about the Xingxing(Starlight Fox)," Wang Feng sighed. But he would return to the Soul Hall.
"I must train to at least level fifty in this far north, obtain the fifth soul ring, and activate Chaos Green Lotus fifth form!"
Wang Feng thought to himself, "I need the ability to go to the Slaughter City. This time, I'll use the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to temper my brain and soul bone, that'll surely improve my strength."
But even so, he couldn't go to the Soul Hall for revenge alone even after that. Strength would come step by step. The far north location was actually good, he just had to keep going north. The ice-cold soul beast forest in the north was vast! It wasn't a restricted area for humans yet but was a well-known soul beast forest.
As he traveled, Wang Feng thought about his strength. The battle in the Pope's Palace had demonstrated the strongest combat power he could display besides using the Pangu Axe, but killing Titled Douluo was very difficult. Each form of Chaos Green Lotus could only switch once, Wang Feng couldn't call out all four forms simultaneously, so the power of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire couldn't be exerted fully. Once the Red Lotus was switched, the effect of his soul-eating blood wing would disappear, causing a critical decline in strength, and he would be severely injured by the two Titled Douluo.
"I need to learn more fighting skills," Wang Feng mused, recalling the details of the battle with the two Titled Douluo. Possessing soul masters of the same level or even twenty levels higher, Wang Feng could crush them, which he considered his most proud fighting achievement till now.
It was developed on the same side. The self-made soul ability soul ability [Reversasl] had a much smaller effect. Using the God Killing Spear, the [Soul Devouring Blood Wing] was just a special increase in combat status, not an attacking soul ability, it all depended on himself.
"I need to summarize a set of techniques for using spear, not just rely on the simple use of the sharpness to attack. Otherwise, it would waste the powerful combat state of [Soul Devouring Blood Wings]. If I had such techniques, the two Titled Douluo would have lost faster!"
Wang Feng had already determined the direction and thought process to become stronger. This technique, similar to the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer method, required developing special spatial awareness.
Soon, as the temperature in the air dropped, Wang Feng knew the far north was approaching. Standing on a big tree more than ten meters away, with a vast expanse of whiteness in the distance, Wang Feng's eyes became slightly firm. In the next few years, he might be immersed in this ice and snow soul beast forest… until he became stronger!
At the far northern forest, Wang Feng felt the temperature drop day by day as he journeyed to the north. He knew he was now in the outer forest of the far north, although he didn't know his exact location. The temperature was extremely low, making it an excellent cultivation environment for soul masters with ice-type martial souls. However, living conditions here were –harsh.
The area was deserted and uninhabited. Along the way, Wang Feng occasionally saw small settlements like bazaars near the outer forest. These places sold various items needed for entering the icy forest, such as warm clothes and snow tools. However, such settlements were rare, as few soul masters ventured into such harsh environments. The consumption of soul power and the physical burden in this cold were immense, making it more troublesome than the Star Dou Great Forest.
"The average temperature in the outer forest is around minus forty degrees..." Wang Feng thought as he walked through the icy woodland, looking around. Most ice-type soul beasts in the periphery were not strong. Some milder ones would look at Wang Feng from a distance, while bolder ones would come out and roar. Wang Feng's body, –refined by the Red Lotus industry, was dust-free and close to nature.
Despite being human, he exuded a special breath that had a natural affinity for living beings. If he tempered his brain and sternum, they would become one, creating a pure and innocuous body, unscathed by the world's impurities. Wang Feng was curious about what changes this would bring.
This was one of Wang Feng's training goals in the far north. He noted that the outer soul beasts were not strong and it was even rare to find even a thousand years old one soul beast. As he stepped on the slightly soft snow, he realized he was about a thousand meters deep in the periphery and decided not to move forward. Instead, he planned to establish a base here.
Using the Armored Black Thorns, Wang Feng cut down surrounding trees and split them into numerous planks. He intended to build a small wooden house for his usual life practice, as he did not want to live like a savage. If he planned to cultivate in this icy land for a long time, so he needed a proper shelter.
The efficiency of the Armored Black Thorn was impressive. Wang Feng marveled at its versatility, especially now that he had sufficient soul power. He watched several black blades in mid-air cutting down the large ice and snow trees. These trees, covered with snowflakes, added a unique style to the white, silver-clad world. With a flash of light and shadow, a large icy tree fell to the ground. Wang Feng, holding a pair of knives, carefully cut the tree into boards of equal length.
Halfway through, Wang Feng paused, realizing something. He had always used soul power to control the Armored Black Thorn, changing its trajectory to a certain extent. But he had never tried controlling it purely with mental power, which he now thought might achieve the effect of imperial objects. Wang Feng had a mental skull that was more than 100,000 years old, so he decided to give it a try.
"Using my mental power to control the Armored Black Thorns... instead of relying on physical effort," Wang Feng thought, feeling a surge of excitement. This would be like Magneto. Previously, he had used the Armored Black Thorns to change its form in battle, causing unexpected attacks. But using mental power would take it to another level.
Putting down the black blade, Wang Feng stared at it, focusing his mental power. Using soul power only to change the form of the Armored Black Thorns, he now attempted to control it directly with his mind. The skull given by the system was evidently stronger than he had imagined, evident from his ability to resist Bibi Dong's pressure in the Pope's Palace.
Mental power was a mysterious force. In the context of cultivation, it was similar to divine sense. In the Douluo World, there were no known spiritual cultivation methods, and spiritual power typically increased with meditation practice. High-level soul masters often had high spiritual power, but how to cultivate and use it was complex.
Wang Feng concentrated intensely on the sharp blade of the Armored Black Thorns, meditating on it. This was similar to making arrows turn using mental power and soul power, but now he aimed to make the blade move on its own. His skull glowed slightly, indicating the running of mental power. Wang Feng felt his brain like a storm, the sharp blade breaking into countless particles, reorganizing into the original blade.
To his amazement, the blade moved. Wang Feng's pupils shrank as he realized he hadn't moved at all, purely using mental power. The blade floated slowly in mid-air, swaying slightly. Feeling a bit dizzy, Wang Feng's skull emitted a clear breath, making him feel better.
"It worked!" Wang Feng thought, excited but cautious. This wasn't about using soul power or specific skills but pure mental power. It was similar to Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand, achieving simple imperial effects at a high level. While high-level soul masters could use deep soul power to control things, Wang Feng had never seen pure mental power control.
The sharp blade fell as his excitement distracted him. Wang Feng murmured, "This is the real use of spiritual power." He understood the potential of this new ability and the strength it could bring.
