Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Dai Mubai
After naming the second soul skill, Wang Feng descended from the sky. He happened to see both the Star-Moon Fox and the Ice Jade Emperor Lizard cub staring at him, a hint of fear still lingering in their eyes. Obviously, the terrifying explosion had startled them. Even now, the ground in the exploded crater was still hissing and burning, with ice crystals lodged in the surrounding trees and soil.
Wang Feng walked over to the cub, giving it a brief inspection. The appearance of the Ice Jade Emperor Lizard resembled the Pocket Monsters' Salamence from his previous life. However, it was entirely ice-blue, and the current cub was only two meters tall, while the mature Ice Jade Emperor Lizard reached ten meters.
"He's too large to take outside, and in the Hunting Soul Forest, he'd be an easy target for Soul Masters. I'll have to come and check on him frequently," Wang Feng contemplated. "I'll visit you guys often."
He addressed the Star-Moon Fox, saying, "When I become stronger, I'll find an opportunity to take you guys out. In the forest, if you encounter Soul Masters or Soul Beasts you can't beat, just run around. Even if you get injured, as long as you're not dead, I can heal you. Got it?"
This message was directed at the Star-Moon Fox, given its higher intelligence. The Ice Jade Emperor Lizard was still quite naive.
"Howl~" The Star-Moon Fox nodded and then called out to the Ice Jade Emperor Lizard behind it, seemingly conveying the information.
After a couple more instructions, Wang Feng left the area. By now, it was already daylight. When he returned to the camp, Si Rong, Old Black, and Ling Jian had all awakened. Their injuries were also mostly healed, except for the missing arms. Wang Feng thought that with his growing strength, he could easily regrow their limbs using the Golden Lotus's healing abilities in the future.
"I know you all have some questions," Wang Feng said as he looked at the three silent individuals. "Both of them are already dead, and I healed your injuries. After leaving the Hunting Soul Forest, leave your current city. That noble miss's family is not simple. If they find out theg both died in the Hunting Soul Forest and hired our team, and yet we survived, they won't let us off."
"However, there are many teams outside the Hunting Soul Forest. Even if they find you, as long as you disband, they won't waste effort looking for you."
"Go to another city."
Wang Feng finished speaking and looked at the three. Lin Shan, being a noble miss from the Fasno Province, which was just one of the many provinces in the Tian Dou Empire. Wang Feng estimated that the strongest individuals there were around level sixty, and he didn't have the certainty or time to deal with them. Moreover, Lin Shan and the old servant had died to the point where nothing remained, and once Si Rong and the others quietly disappeared from the Fasno Province, there would be no way to trace them.
"Alright,"Old Black and Ling Jian nodded without saying much.
"That's good; I've been thinking of leaving the Fasno Province for a while," Si Rong suddenly smiled. "Little Mie, where do you want us to go?"
Both Ling Jian and Old Black were stunned.
Wang Feng was also momentarily surprised. "I won't leave the Fasno Province for now," he said.
He had disguises, and even his name was fake. None of the three had seen his real face, and Lin Shan's family wouldn't be able to trace him.
"But, approximately five years later, I'll return to the Soto City near the nearby Bartok Kingdom," Wang Feng added.
"Alright, let's head to Soto City first. Bartok Kingdom is one of the Tian Dou Empire's kingdoms, but under the current circumstances, it no longer falls under the jurisdiction of the Tian Dou Empire. It only provides tributes every year, and the Fasno Province has no control over it," Si Rong said, a slight smile on her face. "Even though Old Black and Ling Jian lost their hands, it doesn't mean they can't fight. At worst, they won't starve. We'll wait for you in Soto City."
After saying this, Si Rong looked at Old Black and Ling Jian, seemingly seeking their opinions. The two exchanged glances and nodded solemnly.
"Alright, then I'll come to find you in Soto City at that time," Wang Feng took a deep breath, looking at the three individuals with a profound gaze.
He then took the lead and walked out of the Hunting Soul Forest.
By now, it was approaching noon. Outside the Hunting Soul Forest, the sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow on the earth. As Wang Feng walked out of the forest, he felt a peculiar warmth he had never experienced before.
Sunlight hit Wang Feng's black robe, creating scattered rays, as if trying to penetrate the black robe and bestow radiance upon the young figure beneath.
Wang Feng turned his head, looked at the magnificent Hunting Soul Forest in the distance, and felt a ripple in his heart.
After a glance, Wang Feng turned around, lifted the black robe gently, and slowly disappeared into the crowd...
---
Five years later.
Bartok Kingdom, Soto City.
Tian Dou Empire had four major kingdoms, each with its own military force. Among them, Bartok Kingdom was the most powerful. In Bartok Kingdom, apart from the main city of Bartok, another city was equally famous. Situated in the fertile Central Lema Plains within Bartok Kingdom, it was called Soto City, known as the granary of Bartok – an area guarded by a strong military force.
At this moment, inside the well-defended Soto City, within the luxurious Rose Hotel.
In the lobby.
Two figures were engaged in a battle, their movements intertwining in the air like a dense web, making the atmosphere unusually heavy and cold.
"Brother San, come on!"
Beside the counter, a girl in a pink dress shouted loudly. However, the concern in her eyes betrayed her inner nervousness.
Shortly afterward, the battle seemed to conclude. One of the men was wrapped in countless tough and deep-green Blue Silver Grass, rendering him immobile, like a zongzi.
This man was quite tall, with dazzling golden long hair and deep blue pupils. Even though he was bound, a faint smile still lingered on his face.
"For a Level 29 Spirit Master to force me, Dai Mubai, into this situation using Blue Silver Grass, I have to admit, you're quite formidable. Unfortunately, if we were at the same level, I would have truly lost today," he said.
After speaking, the other man standing opposite him frowned slightly and said, "What are you trying to say?"
The man was about 1.7 meters tall, dressed in blue armor with a belt adorned with twenty-four jade stones. His figure was well-proportioned, his appearance not particularly handsome but giving off a warm and approachable feeling.
"So, it's a pity," the handsome man who called himself Dai Mubai smiled.
Suddenly, his laughter ceased!
"White Tiger Diamond Transformation!"
A cold voice resonated from Dai Mubai's mouth, followed by a purple soul ring rising from beneath him!
His entire body started to slightly expand, and his aura became incredibly powerful. Even those remaining guests hiding in the distance felt the surging force, as if a ferocious tiger was roaring and rushing towards them.
With a slight shake of his arms, he shattered all the Blue Silver Grass binding his body!
Explosive powder scattered around, creating a hazy atmosphere in the lobby.
Witnessing this, Tang San and Xiao Wu in the distance were both stunned.
"This is the soul skill of the thousand-year soul ring?" Tang San took a cold breath.
Dai Mubai, under the possession of the Martial Soul, had increased in size by one circle, appearing extremely intimidating.
"Your absolute strength and level perception are something your Blue Silver Grass can't compensate for," Dai Mubai said lightly. "The White Tiger Diamond Transformation allows me to double my strength, speed, and all other aspects within half an hour. Under such amplification, the toxins in your Blue Silver Grass won't affect me, and you can't win against me."
Tang San remained silent, just sighing inwardly.
He thought, indeed, there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.
No wonder the teacher asked us to come to Soto City, to Shrek Academy. There are indeed many geniuses and powerful individuals outside.
Five years of cultivation, although he had grown a lot and obtained a second Martial Soul, reaching Level 29, he was still far ahead in the Nodding Academy.
But unexpectedly, upon arriving in Soto City, he encountered someone who was outrageously strong with just a casual encounter.
"Why are you showing off..."
At this moment, Xiao Wu walked over, supporting Tang San and said indignantly, "If Brother Three were also Level 37, you definitely wouldn't be able to beat him."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai laughed dumbfoundedly. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw these two people, their eyes lighting up as if they had spotted something.
"Brother Feng, over here!"
Waving their hands at Dai Mubai's back door, Xiao Wu and Tang San, especially the more lively Xiao Wu, shouted, "We're here. There's a guy here relying on his level and soul rings to bully us! You must teach him a lesson for us!"
Dai Mubai couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking, these two guys are relentless.
Thinking this, Dai Mubai turned around to look...
