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

Chapter 209 The desperate situation of reincarnation
After receiving Xue Di's promise, Chen Feng felt a great sense of security.

This means he has a trump card that he can truly use to fight for his life.

Since Xue Di was willing to help him with this, Chen Feng naturally couldn't refuse.

However, for a powerful being like the Snow Empress, there weren't many areas where Chen Feng could truly be of assistance.

After much thought, he realized that the only advice he could offer was regarding breaking through cultivation barriers.

"Your Majesty, Snow Emperor, what are your plans for the upcoming level 70 milestone?" Chen Feng asked.

"I don't have a clear idea yet. Although your Ring-Expanding Technique can slightly reduce the difficulty of my breakthrough, the difference isn't very significant. I still need to prepare for the breakthrough and can't leave the far north to do anything," the Snow Empress said, shaking her head.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and asked:

"Do you know anything about the sea god?"

“Sea God? I know he is a god who became a god overseas by collecting faith, but I don’t know much about him,” said the Snow Empress.

Chen Feng nodded and said:
"That's right. The Sea God achieved his divine status by gathering the power of faith. He was originally a Sea Soul Master. After fighting for 1,001 years, he unified the ocean and was revered as the Sea God by the sea creatures."

"Do you mean you want me to follow the path of the Sea God? But He is human and I am a soul beast, I cannot follow His path," Xue Di said, shaking her head.

"Human titled Douluo don't have a lifespan of a thousand years," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"You mean...?" Xue Di's eyes narrowed.

Chen Feng slowly paced around the hall, pondering as he spoke:
"In this world, the boundary between humans and soul beasts is not absolute. Soul beasts are limited by the inability to become gods, but soul beasts that transform into humans have the hope of becoming gods. What is the real difference between the two? Is it just a change in appearance?"

Xue Di thought for a moment and said:
"After a soul beast transforms into a human, it needs to enter human society and come into contact with humans in order to grow rapidly; otherwise, its growth rate will be extremely slow."

"This is extremely slow. Could it be considered the growth rate of a soul beast?"

"perhaps."

Chen Feng nodded and said:
"In other words, simply transforming into a human is useless; it doesn't fundamentally change the soul beast. Only when it enters human society and absorbs enough 'human energy' can it circumvent the rules that restrict soul beasts."

"Popularity," Xue Di murmured, seemingly understanding something.

"And after you merged your soul power with mine, you felt that the difficulty of breaking through was slightly reduced. Is it possible that this is also the effect of 'popularity'?" Chen Feng continued.

"You mean I can use the Ring-Extending Technique as a bargaining chip to attract humans to this place, and then accumulate enough 'popularity' to circumvent the world's rules that restrict soul beasts?" Xue Di asked.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Snow Maidens and humans are similar, aren't they? You can set up a few trial grounds here, and then spread the word that you can obtain the best age soul ring by passing the trials. When something is challenging and has a generous reward, it is much more attractive than just shouting."

"And if you do this, the quality of the people attracted will be very high. You can also choose suitable people from them as your followers. The leader can simply be called the High Priest. If this develops to a certain extent, the so-called 'popularity' will probably transform into something else."

"What thing?"

"Belief."

Xue Di's eyes flickered; clearly, she was tempted.

Chen Feng continued his narration: "If you can condense a divine position through sufficient faith, that would be best. At the very least, you can use the Ring-Expanding Method to enhance your 'popularity' and reduce the difficulty of breaking through the level."

"Even in the worst-case scenario, where you fail to break through the barrier, having enough reliable human followers will make it easy for you to transform into a human and enter the human world. I think you should have already considered this aspect."

Xue Di paused for a moment, then said:

"The difficulty of transforming a soul beast into a human after 100,000 years is extremely high."

“No matter how difficult it is, it’s still a path, and I think you’ve already prepared for the worst,” Chen Feng said with a smile.

He wasn't sure if the current Snow Emperor had obtained the 100,000-year-old Snow Lotus, but it wouldn't hurt to test the waters. Perhaps the Snow Lotus the Snow Emperor had given him before was a companion herb of that 100,000-year-old Snow Lotus?
As expected, after hearing Chen Feng's words, Xue Di did not refute anything further, which was tantamount to acquiescing.

In other words, she may have already obtained the 100,000-year-old snow lotus and intends to use it as her last trump card.

"Of course, if the worst-case scenario occurs, you will become extremely vulnerable after transforming into human form, so you must carefully consider your choice of followers," Chen Feng reminded him one last time.

Human nature is very complex. There are great and noble saints as well as shameless and despicable villains. If there is a problem in the selection of personnel, then a magnificent betrayal will inevitably occur.

Who knows, maybe another painting will leak out later, something like "The Last Supper".

"I understand, your suggestion is very comprehensive," Xue Di said earnestly.

Chen Feng had considered everything for her, from the best-case scenario to the worst-case scenario, which was like feeding her.

If she still can't get any, then she can't blame anyone but herself.

"This is also to thank you for your help." Chen Feng clasped his hands in a salute again.

He had no regrets about the fact that the Snow Emperor could not leave the far north.

Indeed, if Xue Di could move freely, it would be much easier for Chen Feng to implement the Tuo Huan Fa.

However, this raises a big question mark about who is the primary and who is the secondary partner in the cooperation between humans and spirit beasts.

Chen Feng does want to improve the living environment of soul beasts and change the relationship between humans and soul beasts, but that doesn't mean he wants soul beasts to ride on top of humans.

Moreover, the large-scale activity of ferocious beasts will also attract the attention of the divine realm, bringing unnecessary trouble.

This is good as it is. The ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are not very mobile, and the Snow Empress in the far north cannot come out for the time being. Although the difficulty of Chen Feng's operation will be much greater as a result, the room for operation will also be much wider.

Back in the side hall, Chenxin saw his disciple enter and asked:
"Xiao Feng, what does Xue Di want with you?"

"We talked about some things related to spirit beasts, and I also asked her for help with my martial spirit," Chen Feng replied.

"About your martial soul?" Chen Xin's expression changed. "Your martial soul... could it be that it's already..."

“That’s right, my martial soul has awakened the Yin Sword, which is a sword that is entirely black,” Chen Feng said, summoning his martial soul.

He wanted to ask his master about the situation. When Chen Xin told him the story of their ancestor, he focused on the experience of the ancestor Chen Yang and didn't go into much detail about the Demon Sword.

"What about the entirely black hilt?" Chen Xin asked hurriedly. "It's a black gemstone," Chen Feng replied.

Chen Xin breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Did you see anything strange?"

"for example?"

"Like the moon?"

"I saw it."

Chen Xin immediately tensed up, but Chen Feng then said:
“Master, don’t worry. I know there’s something wrong with that red moon, but the red moon I saw eventually turned into a silver moon.”

"It turned into Silver Moon?" Chen Xin was stunned for a moment. This was a situation he was completely unaware of.

"Master, what do you know about the Demon Sword? Tell me everything," Chen Feng said.

"Actually, I don't know much. It's all from what my parents told me. All I know is that the Red Moon can bring out the darkness in people's hearts, and that devouring souls can drive people crazy. By the way, Xiao Feng, you haven't devoured any souls, have you?" Chen Xin asked seriously.

"Of course not, I haven't killed many living beings yet, so I can't even devour souls," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"That's good. Xiao Feng, your Yin Sword is a little different from the Demon Sword recorded in the family. I can't quite explain why, but it seems to be a bit better than the Demon Sword. You must pay attention to your mental state in the future," Chen Xin earnestly advised.

He's the only son in the Chen family, so he absolutely cannot have any problems.

“I know, Master. The reason I want to acquire the Snow Maiden’s soul skills is for this,” Chen Feng said.

Thinking of his disciple's fourth soul skill, Chen Xin felt a little more at ease. Since it was an ability of a legendary race, it must be reliable.

In the following days, Chen Feng tried using the Yin Sword again.

He discovered that when using the Yin Sword, he could actively and forcibly pull a living target into that special scene, and this pulling was independent of his cultivation level.

There are two conditions that can be determined now: either Chen Feng's own spirit is completely exhausted, or his martial spirit is released from his hand.

So even if it's possible to pull people out regardless of their cultivation level, those powerful individuals, such as Chen Xin and Xue Di, can still come out whenever they want.

Furthermore, when Chen Feng uses the Yin Sword alone, his mental energy is rapidly depleted.

However, once he brings in a target, his mental energy consumption will decrease significantly, and the duration of the scene can be extended by about twice, reaching about ten minutes.

According to Chen Xin and Xue Di's feelings, their spirits would begin to deplete little by little after entering that scene.

In other words, after Chen Feng brings people in, the damage to this scene will be shared by the two of them.

Upon discovering this, Chen Feng immediately began trying to pull more targets, but he failed; he could only pull one target each time he used the Yin Sword.

This means that the special scene became a gladiatorial arena where those who entered had to engage in a 1v1 battle, and only those who stood could leave early.

However, since the enemies who are pulled in need to suffer mental damage, while Chen Feng can rely on the power of the possessed soul beast, it is obviously difficult for any enemy whose strength is not a level above Chen Feng to defeat Chen Feng and get out early.

Based on these characteristics, Chen Feng specially named this special scene "Reincarnation Abyss".

After dealing with the matter of the Martial Soul, Chen Feng and Chen Xin bid farewell to the Snow Emperor, who then sent people to escort them all the way to the outskirts of the far north.

With Chen Xin's strength, he can easily lead Chen Feng out of here without any unexpected incidents.

The two arrived in Winter City and found Tang Hao and his group, who had been waiting for them, at the hotel where they had stayed before.

"Why did it take you so long? I was about to go in and check on them." Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the master and apprentice both safe and sound.

"We met the Snow Empress this time and stayed with her for a few days," Chen Xin began to recount the events of the past few days, from his perspective, of course.

Ning Rongrong stepped forward to check on Chen Feng's condition, and only after confirming that he was alright did she feel relieved.

"You haven't come back for several days. I thought something had happened to you," she said, her eyes slightly red.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to get into trouble with." Chen Feng smiled and ruffled her hair.

After Chen Xin recounted his experience, everyone learned about the master and disciple's experiences over the past few days, and they were all very surprised.

"You actually encountered the Snow Emperor, a ruler even more terrifying than the Titan Snow Demon King!" Dugu Bo couldn't help but exclaim.

"Actually, judging from appearances, the Titan Snow Demon King is more intimidating, while the Snow Empress doesn't look much different from a human woman," Chen Xin said. "Speaking of which, how are things on your side?"

"Things are going smoothly on our side too. This kid has successfully obtained his fourth spirit ring, and the effect is very good," Tang Hao said, patting Oscar on the shoulder.

"So, Feng, do you want to see my new soul skill?" Oscar said with a smile.

"Alright, let me see what your fourth spirit ring is like, and whether it tastes good?" Chen Feng said with some anticipation.

This is a soul skill that does not belong to the original work or the comics, because the map of the far north in the first era of Dou Yi was not yet available, so Oscar naturally could not obtain the soul rings from there.

Therefore, Chen Feng was very curious about this, as it was a very obvious effect caused by his butterfly wings.

"Hehe, just you wait and see." Oscar made his signature gesture as usual, then recited the incantation for his fourth soul skill:
"Refreshingly cool, making my heart soar!"

As the incantation was uttered, a short, pale blue icicle appeared in Oscar's hand.

"This is my fourth soul skill, the Refreshing Popsicle. Its effect is to immediately restore half of your mental strength and 30% of your soul power after eating it, but you will feel extremely tired after half an hour, and you can only eat one a day."

Chen Feng licked his lips. "It can restore mental energy? And only half of it?"

“That’s right.” Oscar nodded.

"You're amazing, Xiao Ao," Chen Feng said sincerely.

His Cycle of Despair consumes mental energy. If he has a popsicle in hand, the duration of the Cycle of Despair can be extended by fifty percent.

Even with a half-hour limit, this can drastically change the course of the battle.
