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

Chapter 201 Dustless Land
"Little Black, come down first."

Chen Feng waved to the black cat frolicking in the tree.

The black cat got down somewhat reluctantly; this was its first time using a spirit ring, and it hadn't had enough fun yet.

Not only was it not satisfied, it also turned its gaze to the remaining spirit rings on Chen Feng's body, clearly wanting to try out the effects of the other spirit rings.

However, Chen Feng did not respond to its expectations. Instead, he ruthlessly withdrew his soul ring and canceled the Yang Sword state of his martial soul.

The light emitted by the Yang Sword also disappeared, and the area around Chen Feng became somewhat dim, with only the flickering light of torches remaining in the forest.

Chen Feng had previously thought that the light emitted by his Yang Sword was just a special effect, and even complained that the light was too weak to be used for illumination.

But what had just happened told him that this was not the case; the light seemed to have some special effect.

Chen Feng guessed that it might be some kind of protective ability.

But at this point, he was no longer able to test the effects of the light because he didn't have enough soul power left.

Maintaining the Yang Sword requires consuming soul power. Chen Feng had just used all three of his soul skills, so naturally he couldn't maintain the Yang Sword state for much longer.

If one's soul power is exhausted, the other person will faint, which is not good.

In just a short while, Chen Feng had already roughly understood the main abilities of his Yang Sword state.

The first is the ability to throw one's own spirit ring to a teammate, allowing the teammate to gain an extra spirit ring, even if the opponent is a spirit beast.

Furthermore, when a teammate uses this spirit ring, it consumes his own spirit power, not Chen Feng's, which can reduce Chen Feng's burden.

The second ability is a certain degree of protective ability, which Chen Feng has already witnessed, but he does not have enough soul power to test it.

When he awakened his martial soul, he received the information that "the Yang sword governs life, and the Yin sword governs death" through his martial soul.

In retrospect, both its ability to support teammates and its ability to provide protection are very much in line with the characteristics of a "main life" character.

The former increases the survival chances of teammates, while the latter increases one's own.

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised, but not too astonished, by the fact that his martial soul's special form possessed auxiliary abilities.

Because he has the bloodline of the Chen family as well as the bloodline of the Ning family, it is not surprising that he has awakened auxiliary abilities.

It's just that this method of assistance is a bit strange.

Conversely, Chen Feng was more certain about what his Yin Sword form corresponded to; it was most likely the Soul-Devouring Demon Sword from before, or some kind of mutated form of it.

It depends on whether Xiao Wu's blood can bring about any changes to Chen Feng's Yin Sword.

The Yin Sword is associated with death, and the Soul-Devouring Demon Sword's killing power is beyond doubt; even if there are some changes, it will not deviate from its essence.

If Chen Feng had chosen the blood of the ghost, then the Yin Sword would have definitely become the Soul-Devouring Demon Sword. But if he had chosen Xiao Wu's blood, then he could have struggled a bit.

In fact, Xiao Wu was already able to help Chen Feng awaken the Yin Sword at this point, because the amount of blood required for the awakening of the Yin and Yang positions is not much, which is equivalent to acting as a catalyst.

The blood corresponding to the eight trigram positions acts as a reactant, allowing the eight trigram positions to be repaired.

However, Chen Feng did not ask Xiao Wu for her blood, because he was afraid that once he got her blood, he would not be able to resist using it on his martial soul.

If something goes wrong then, it will be difficult to handle.

It would be safer to wait until he reaches the Soul Master level and then see how things go.

In the following days, Chen Feng conducted a special test on the Yang Sword form of his martial soul and learned more detailed information about the Yang Sword.

Firstly, regarding support capabilities, Chen Feng can lend his spirit rings to his teammates, and the two sides' use of Chen Feng's spirit rings will not interfere with each other.

For example, Chen Feng's third soul skill, Swift Thunder, has a cooldown period when he uses it.

However, after he uses Thunderclap, he can lend out his Soul Ring, allowing his teammates to seamlessly use Thunderclap once more.

However, Chen Feng can only lend each of his spirit rings to one person. He can use the spirit ring alternately between himself and the person he is lending it to, but he cannot lend it to a second person after the first person has used it. This prevents him from becoming a "public bus" (someone who uses the same spirit ring as everyone else).

In fact, Chen Feng doesn't need to use his soul skills too frequently after activating the Yang Sword form, which is due to the defensive capabilities of the Yang Sword.

The protective capabilities were somewhat different from what he had expected.

Chen Feng believed that the light emitted by the Yang Sword was a protective shield with a certain ability to withstand damage and block external threats.

However, this light is actually more like a domain. During the duration of this domain, no attack from the outside world can penetrate it, including mental attacks. This was discovered through Gu Yueling's Lion's Roar soul skill.

When the light domain is activated, Lion's Roar has no effect on Chen Feng.

At this point, the only way to attack Chen Feng is to enter the light domain and engage in a real hand-to-hand combat with him.

Alternatively, one could wait until the duration of the light domain ended, since maintaining the Yang Sword consumes soul power, and this consumption is not small; external attacks would also accelerate the consumption of soul power.

If he only activates the Yang Sword and does nothing else, Chen Feng can only maintain the Yang Sword for ten minutes. If he is attacked from the outside or uses a soul skill, the time will be different.

This is one of the shortcomings of the Yang Sword, but its protective capabilities in the light domain are astonishing.

Chen Feng tested this, and even specifically sought out Tang Hao as a test subject.

After a series of tests, Chen Feng discovered that the protective capabilities of the light domain were virtually limitless, and attacks outside the range would only accelerate the depletion of Chen Feng's soul power.

However, as long as the light domain continues, Chen Feng does not need to worry about being affected by anything outside the light domain.

During the test, Chen Feng's light domain once blocked a hammer blow from Tang Hao, which was enhanced by five spirit rings, at the cost of consuming all of his spirit power.

Two days later, in another test, when Tang Hao unleashed a hammer blow while fully empowered by his spirit rings, the light domain successfully withstood the blow, but the result was that Chen Feng's spirit power was completely depleted.

Through these two tests, Chen Feng summarized a characteristic of the Yang Sword Light Domain: no matter how strong the attack is, the light domain can withstand at least one hit.

This is naturally inferior to Xiao Wu's invincible golden body, but it is enough for Chen Feng.

After all, support is just a side job for him; his main job is still a warrior, and offense is the best defense.

The protective ability of the light domain only means that when Chen Feng activates the Yang Sword, he doesn't have to be as afraid of being attacked as other support-type soul masters.

In addition, the protective ability of the light domain is also area-of-effect, which allows Chen Feng to protect his teammates, which is an advantage compared to the invincible golden body.

For this reason, Chen Feng even gave the light domain a special name, "Dustless Land," as a tribute to a similar ability in a certain work.

After Chen Feng figured out the characteristics of the Yang Sword, everyone else became very interested. Ning Rongrong kept pestering Chen Feng to use the Dustless Land, saying that this ability was simply a divine skill for her.

As long as that field of light remains, standing inside gives one a very sense of security.

Oscar actually wanted to give it a try, but he knew it wasn't convenient for him to get involved, and his support style wasn't suitable for standing still, because he needed to get close to his teammates to a certain distance in order to hand out the food.

So, except at the beginning, Oscar needs to constantly move around.

Ning Rongrong, however, does not need to. Her positioning during battle is mainly to avoid attacks. If no one attacks her, she can stand still in place without any impact on her support abilities.

Therefore, the appearance of the Dustless Land broadened Ning Rongrong's thinking. She felt that she could try to acquire a similar soul skill in the future, but she didn't know if there were any soul beasts with this ability.

As for the other Soul Masters in the team, they were more interested in Chen Feng's ability to lend out his Soul Ring.

Being able to use an extra soul skill for free is something any soul master would be eager to do.

Not to mention that he can get an extra spirit ring. Putting everything else aside, it's really cool just to look at.

However, since Chen Feng's soul skills each have their own characteristics, it is impossible for everyone to be able to use his soul skills.

In response, everyone discussed and came up with a distribution plan.

First is Chen Feng's third soul skill, Swift Thunder. This powerful dash soul skill is useful for any warrior, but the one who needs it the most and can maximize its effect is undoubtedly Gu Yueling.

As a very powerful warrior in the team, her attack ability is beyond doubt, but she has a big weakness: short legs, and no ability to quickly close the distance to her opponent.

While the ranged attack effect of her fourth soul skill somewhat compensates for this weakness, it is not enough.

With the addition of Thunder, Gu Yueling, this little lion, can unleash her full potential, and in team battles, she might even be able to charge into the enemy's backline and wreak havoc.

Secondly, there's Chen Feng's second soul skill, Sharpness. This soul skill is very versatile and useful to Dai Mubai, Meng Yiran, and Zhu Zhuqing.

However, Meng Yiran's fighting style is gradually changing. Close combat is no longer her main fighting style, while Dai Mubai has the White Tiger Wave Claw and the self-created soul skill from his previous special training.

Therefore, the Sharpness Soul Skill was assigned to Zhu Zhuqing, which can further enhance the lethality of her claws.

As for Chen Feng's last soul skill, the Heavy Sword, there aren't many people who can use it, and even fewer who can use it well.

Because no one had undergone targeted training like him and had no understanding of the principles of weight and lightness, this soul skill became Chen Feng's signature soul skill.

This also gives him a certain combat ability in his Yang Sword form.

Combined with the characteristics of the Dustless Land, even if someone were to actually intrude into the Light Domain, Chen Feng could handle it completely.

Because those who can cut through the back row are basically melee fighters, and these are the opponents that Chen Feng fears the least.

After the auction, Chen Feng's life returned to normal.

The power brought by the Yang Sword greatly excited him, and he became even more interested in the Yin Sword.

However, due to the characteristics of the Yin Sword, Chen Feng dared not easily attempt to awaken it, even though the conditions for awakening had been met.

Therefore, he could only transform this interest into motivation for cultivation, and began to put aside everything else to focus on cultivation, wanting to reach level forty as soon as possible.

Those who hadn't reached the Soul Master realm, like Oscar, Bai Chenxiang, and Ning Rongrong, also worked hard, cultivating almost non-stop.

Finally, three months before the Soul Master Competition, Oscar, Chen Feng, and Ning Rongrong all successfully reached level 40.

Bai Chenxiang has also reached level 36, which is considered a decent combat strength.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall's investigation into the missing members of the Holy Dragon Sect has also yielded some results.

Although Tang Hao covered up the scene after killing the person to avoid causing trouble for his son, a subsequent rain further eliminated the traces.

However, since the Holy Dragon Sect group did not conceal their tracks when they came to Sunset Forest, people saw them along the way. Therefore, the Spirit Hall still managed to find out where they went before they disappeared, which was Sunset Forest.

After confirming that the Holy Dragon Sect group had disappeared in Sunset Forest, the Spirit Hall sent people to investigate in Sunset Forest and also began investigating who had gone to Sunset Forest during that period.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall also inquired about information from Xue Qinghe, who was actually the undercover agent Qian Renxue.

After all, the Holy Dragon Sect was a subordinate of the Spirit Hall, and the disappearance of Tuoba Xi and his group was obviously not an accident, which meant that someone was offending the dignity of the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall must find out the truth, both for its own sake and for public reasons.

Regarding the inquiry from the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue's attitude was...
"Elder Thornblood, did anyone from Tiandou City go to Sunset Forest at that time?" Qian Renxue asked her guard elder.

Bloodthorn nodded and said:
"Yes, according to my investigation, it was from Hydra Academy at the time."

"Really?" Qian Renxue's tone became more forceful.

Ci Xue paused for a moment, then said hesitantly:
"Have"

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes.

"...or...nothing?" Ci Xue began to realize something.

“I don’t think so. What do you think, Elder Ci Xue?” Qian Renxue asked.

“I don’t think so either,” Ci Xue said without hesitation.

"Hmm." Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction. "Then let's send a message to the main hall, saying that everything was calm and normal in Tiandou City at the time, and no one from any major power went to Sunset Forest."

"Yes."

"Also, regarding those herbs I mentioned earlier, have you found anything?"

When Chen Feng asked her for blood, Qian Renxue smelled a special herbal scent in the bottle, so she asked Ci Xue to find some herbs to identify. In the end, Qian Renxue selected several herbs with similar scents and asked Ci Xue to investigate them.

The bloodletting also revealed some information: "Young Master, among the herbs you selected, only one is related to blood. After checking, I found that this herb has the effect of preventing blood clotting."

"anything else?"

"Furthermore, not many people know about the effects of this herb; only highly skilled pharmacists are aware of it."

“Perhaps he might not be a pharmacist.” Qian Renxue tapped the table lightly. “He could also be a poison master.”
