Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 200 Holding a Jade Sword, Responding to the Charge

Just as Xue Qinghe was about to speak with a smile, Chen Feng continued:

"Curiosity is something everyone has."

"Brother Xue, aren't you curious about this?"

Xue Qinghe choked for a moment, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

He originally intended to use Chen Feng's curiosity as a basis to expose Chen Feng's identity.

However, if Xue Qinghe were to say something like that again after Chen Feng asked that question, he would seem rather naive.

Because Chen Feng is right, curiosity is something everyone has.

It's possible to become curious after witnessing such a strange phenomenon as Catwoman.

Although Xue Qinghe had no intention of exploring this strange phenomenon, he believed that most people in the world would not be aware of it either.

However, if he continues to use this as a basis to conclude that Chen Feng is Chen Feng, then it is obviously not convincing at all.

It will only make people laugh.

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, knowing that he probably wouldn't gain anything today.

But he was still unwilling to give up, so he asked:

"So, since you're so curious about this, Xiaofeng, have you thought about how to figure out this phenomenon?"

"That's a bit difficult for me. I'm still just a child, and I'm still in the stage of learning knowledge," Chen Feng said with an innocent look.

Seeing his appearance, Xue Qinghe gritted his teeth inwardly. He felt that the kid in front of him was slippery and he couldn't find the slightest flaw.

Having no other choice, he had to end the conversation. "Alright, then you should study hard and try to figure this out as soon as possible."

"Yes, I will." Chen Feng nodded.

He got up to get off the carriage, but suddenly seemed to remember something and asked:

"Brother Xue, I have a favor to ask."

"Oh?" Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up slightly. "It's too formal for us to talk like this. Just say what you need to say."

He wasn't afraid of Chen Feng making demands, because demands would provide an opportunity to test him, and he might be able to use that to confirm Chen Feng's identity.

"Well, I want some of your blood, Brother Xue," Chen Feng said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Blood?" Xue Qinghe was taken aback. "How much do you need? What do you need it for?"

"Just a small bottle is enough. As for its use, it's not convenient to say right now, if you don't want to, Brother Xue."

"It's okay if you can't say. It's just a little blood. Have you prepared a container?" Xue Qinghe waved his hand and said.

“I’ve been preparing for this for a while.” Chen Feng took out a small bottle from the Blood Sky, which he had already added with a potion to prevent blood from clotting.

Chen Feng opened the bottle cap, and Xue Qinghe twitched his nose slightly. He smelled a rather peculiar scent coming from the bottle.

But he didn't say anything. He just took out a dagger and gently cut his wrist, letting the bright red blood flow into the bottle.

After the small bottle was filled, Xue Qinghe also took out a small bottle, opened it, and poured the powder inside onto the wound on his wrist.

The powder quickly stopped the bleeding from the wound.

"This medicine works quite well," Chen Feng said as he put away the small bottle.

"A special supply for the royal family, do you need it?" Xue Qinghe asked.

"No need, my companion has healing abilities."

Xue Qinghe nodded. "I hope this blood can help you."

"I think so, thank you, Brother Xue."

After collecting Qian Renxue's blood, Chen Feng looked at her current male appearance and thought for a moment before saying:
"Brother Xue, you've lost so much blood, you'll need to eat some blood-replenishing foods when you get back, like red dates and longan."

Looking at Chen Feng earnestly explaining blood-nourishing foods to her, Xue Qinghe's lips twitched slightly.

He wanted to say that he knew more about this than Chen Feng did, but in the end he didn't speak. Instead, he waited for Chen Feng to finish explaining before nodding with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to know about this. Don't worry, I'll eat the foods you mentioned."

"That's good, Brother Xue. We'll talk again next time. See you later."

"See you."

After Chen Feng left, an old man appeared silently inside the carriage.

"Young Master, Your Highness, your hand."

"It's a minor issue," Xue Qinghe said casually.

He watched Chen Feng's departing figure, thought for a moment, and said:

"I just smelled a scent. Go and find out which herbs smell similar."

"Yes."

Walking along the path in the academy, Chen Feng wore a faint smile.

He was in a very good mood at the moment, for two reasons.

Firstly, Yang Jian had a glimmer of hope for awakening, something he had longed for for a long time.

Secondly, he successfully cast the fishing hook.

Qian Renxue had always wanted to test Chen Feng's identity, and he knew that.

However, he neither chose to confess directly nor completely dispel the other party's suspicions.

Instead, he used a Tai Chi Cloud Hands move to evade Qian Renxue's probing, and then revealed a perfectly timed opening.

This is called playing hard to get.

It's all about playing the "tug-of-war" game.

If Qian Renxue isn't clever enough to notice this flaw, it doesn't matter. They'll have many more opportunities to interact in the future, and Chen Feng will continue to reveal some seemingly plausible flaws little by little.

At first glance, he seems to be that genius scholar.

But from another perspective, wait a minute? It doesn't seem like that.

This hazy feeling is very alluring, and Qian Renxue will definitely want to use these flaws to definitively prove Chen Feng's identity.

When she finally confirmed Chen Feng's identity, it was as if she had successfully solved a long-standing problem, which would bring her a great sense of accomplishment.

At that point, Qian Renxue will most likely expose Chen Feng's identity to his face, then watch him show a surprised and astonished expression, and may even take some steps to win him over.

But this was all an opportunity that Chen Feng deliberately gave her. He seemed to be the prey, but in fact he was the hunter.

After returning to the academy, Chen Feng first settled He Yun and her daughter in.

His plan for the two was to enroll them in the academy; his daughter could become a student directly, while He Yun became the dormitory manager for the girls.

The original college did not have dormitory supervisors, and students had to handle everything themselves, while some inspection work had to be done by teachers.

Even ten thousand years later, Shrek Academy still doesn't have dormitory supervisors. Someone like Moon definitely doesn't count; he's at most just a gatekeeper.

Therefore, Chen Feng suggested that Flander add this position to make it easier to manage students in a standardized way, and Flander adopted this suggestion.

Chen Feng didn't rush to study the cause of Catwoman's condition, because Catwoman must be quite sensitive and anxious right now due to what she's been through. It would be inappropriate to ask her to cooperate with any research at this time.

He planned to study the separated beast martial soul and the catwoman together after he awakened the Yin Sword and gained soul-related abilities.

Chen Feng sensed that the two seemed to share some common ground. By then, He Yun and her daughter should have settled down, and with a little more cooperation, they wouldn't resist too much.

After dealing with the catwoman's matter, it was already evening.

Instead of going straight back to his dormitory, Chen Feng first went to a deserted spot in the academy forest.

This was his first attempt at awakening the Yang Sword, and he didn't know what would happen, so he chose a sparsely populated place so that if anything happened, it wouldn't have a big impact.

He sat cross-legged under a tree, summoned his martial spirit, placed the sword flat on his lap, and stuck a torch next to him for illumination.

Then, he took out a small bottle containing Qian Renxue's blood and first tried dripping a drop of blood onto the yang fish of the Taiji diagram on the sword's edge.

The blood was quickly absorbed, just as it had been absorbed from the blood corresponding to other trigrams in the past.

Seeing this, Chen Feng felt relieved and began to drip more blood onto the Yang Fish.

Soon, the bottle of blood was completely absorbed, and Chen Feng also felt that his martial soul was undergoing some kind of change.

With a thought, he followed this feeling and activated his martial spirit.

Then Chen Feng saw that, starting from the Yang fish at the sword's edge, the white color rapidly spread to other areas.

In just a moment, the original Tai Chi Bagua sword transformed into something else entirely.

At this moment, its entire body was dyed white, and the place that was originally a Tai Chi Bagua diagram turned into a ball of light radiating golden light.

The golden light was gentle and not dazzling, illuminating an area of ​​two or three meters around it.

Chen Feng touched the ball of light and found that it had no physical form and seemed to be just a ball of light.

He reached out and gently stroked the sword, discovering that the Tai Chi Bagua Sword, or rather the Yang Sword, was no longer made of metal, but had become as smooth as jade.

In other words, the Yang Sword is now a jade sword.

Chen Feng tapped the Yang Sword in his hand lightly with his fingers and muttered:

"Jade sword. Does this mean I'm to wield a jade sword and lead an army into battle?"

The change in the texture of his martial soul was somewhat unexpected, and it could potentially affect the strength of his martial soul. However, what he was really concerned about was what the awakening of the Yang Sword would bring.

It's impossible that all they could produce was a flashlight for illumination, right? Even if it were meant to be a flashlight, its illumination range wouldn't be up to par.

Chen Feng stood up and began to use his three soul skills to see if his martial soul had changed after transforming into the Yang Sword.

First, there was the light and heavy sword techniques, which were Chen Feng's most proficient combat methods, and there was no difference between them and those before his awakening.

Then came the second soul skill, Sharpness. After using this soul skill, Chen Feng's Yang Sword became even more lustrous, and its ability to slash at the surrounding trees remained unchanged compared to the past.

However, when Chen Feng replaced the test material with metal, he felt a slight awkwardness.

Clearly, this change in texture has had some impact on Chen Feng's martial soul, at least making it a little duller.

Chen Feng also tested the strength of the Yang Sword's material. After colliding with stone and metal, no marks were left on the sword, indicating that the jade sword was still quite strong.

But he's not entirely sure where the real limit is, and there aren't any good testing methods available yet.

After getting a general idea of ​​the Yang Sword's strength, Chen Feng used his third soul skill again.

With a roar and flash of lightning, Chen Feng appeared at another location some distance away, his expression strange.

"It seems no different from before. Could it really just be a flashlight? And the sharpness has even decreased. This is really..."

Just as Chen Feng was starting to doubt his life and felt that all his expectations had been dashed, a dark figure silently appeared not far away.

"Who?" Chen Feng pointed his sword at the figure, only to find that it was Dark Soul Cat Xiao Hei.

Although Chen Feng named it Dawn, he still preferred to call it Little Black.

When Chen Feng saw that the visitor was Xiao Hei, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that the commotion he made while testing his martial soul had attracted Xiao Hei.

At this moment, seemingly because of Chen Feng's earlier action of pointing his sword at Xiao Hei, the spirit ring on his body suddenly moved and actually detached from his body.

Chen Feng was shocked and instinctively tried to retrieve his spirit ring, which obediently returned to him.

Chen Feng was momentarily stunned as he looked at the three soul rings around him that were moving slowly and rhythmically as usual.

He asked Xiao Hei:

"Just now, didn't my spirit ring fly towards you?"

"Meow." Xiao Hei nodded and walked over to look curiously at the soul rings on Chen Feng's body.

It had never seen this situation before. Could it be that this human had learned some new ability?

Chen Feng looked at his soul ring for a moment, then took a few steps back and pointed his jade sword at Xiao Hei again.

He felt that this must be the power brought by the Yang Sword. Although there was a possibility that the soul ring could not be returned once it was gone, he still planned to give it a try.

After all, the Yang Sword, which he had been longing to awaken for so long, couldn't really be used as a flashlight.

As Chen Feng pointed his sword at Xiao Hei and focused his attention on it, his three spirit rings flew towards Xiao Hei.

"Three is a bit too many." Chen Feng tried to retract two of them, releasing only his first spirit ring.

Even if he really can't get his spirit ring back, he won't lose too much.

A yellow spirit ring flew from Chen Feng to Xiao Hei and was then placed on its body.

Looking at the spirit ring that had appeared on its body, Xiao Hei tried to take two steps to the side, and the spirit ring moved with it as if it had always been there.

It looked at Chen Feng with a puzzled expression. Chen Feng understood and shook his head, saying:

“I had no control over it.”

Xiao Hei looked at the yellow spirit ring on its body again. It was a wonderful feeling that it had never experienced before, and it felt very novel.

Chen Feng then suggested:
"Why don't you try to activate it?"

Now that the spirit ring has been transferred to Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei might be able to use it.

However, Xiao Hei looked completely bewildered by Chen Feng's suggestion, clearly having never used a spirit ring before as a spirit beast.

Fortunately, with Chen Feng's guidance, it finally managed to grasp the knack.

As Xiao Hei attempted to activate its spirit ring, the yellow spirit ring on its body suddenly lit up, and Xiao Hei's body visibly sank.

Seeing this scene, Chen Feng finally understood something.

"Am I now a support-type Soul Master? But this support method seems a bit weird."

When a normal support-type Soul Master is providing assistance, why would they throw their own Soul Rings onto someone else? And why would they directly lend their Soul Skills to someone else to use?

The reason it's called a loan is because Chen Feng sensed that he could still get the spirit ring back; it wasn't a permanent gift.

Even more bizarrely, the spirit beasts could also use the spirit rings he provided.

Xiao Hei might be the first soul beast in the world to possess and use soul skills at the soul beast stage. If this scene were seen by others, it would definitely shock many people.

But no matter how unorthodox this method may be, the fact remains that Xiao Hei can now use Chen Feng's soul skills.

It felt exceptionally excited, running around on the surrounding trees, wantonly tormenting the poor trees, and experiencing the wonderful feeling brought by the soul skill enhancement.

Branches and leaves kept falling from the tree; those were all Xiao Hei's handiwork.

Some branches flew towards Chen Feng. Although they didn't hurt when they hit him, Chen Feng still instinctively tried to block them.

However, before he could make a move, the flying branch fell to the ground at the edge of the light emitted by the Yang Sword, as if it had hit an invisible wall.

Seeing this, Chen Feng turned his gaze to the area of ​​light around him and suddenly a possibility came to mind.
