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

Chapter 220 You're really smart
Once outside the school, Chen Feng first took a stroll around the streets near the school.

Along the way, he saw a jewelry store and went in to pick out a bracelet for both Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. The bracelet for Ning Rongrong was purple, and the one for Zhu Zhuqing was black, which matched the colors of their storage soul tools.

Chen Feng planned to give the two bracelets to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as a celebratory gift after the competition. Although they were not particularly valuable, they were enough as a token of his affection.

Moreover, neither Ning Rongrong nor Zhu Zhuqing are materialistic people. They don't care about the value of gifts, which is far better than those idiots in my previous life.

However, after the match is over, doesn't this idea seem a bit like setting a flag? Chen Feng frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

But he didn't show anything unusual, his expression quickly returned to normal, and then he took the bag from the waiter, which contained two wrapped bracelets.

"Welcome to visit again." The waiter bowed slightly and smiled at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng returned a smile, and as he turned around, his gaze swept over the environment inside the shop, but naturally he didn't find anything.

Without pausing, he leisurely walked to the outside of the shop, glanced around briefly, and then headed towards the next shop.

But he didn't buy anything else. He just wandered around the shops, occasionally chatting with the shop assistants.

After wandering around for a while, Chen Feng seemed to get bored, so he picked up his bag and turned back towards the academy.

However, the road back to the academy seemed exceptionally long. After walking for a while, he was still quite a distance away from the academy.

At this moment, Chen Feng seemed to realize that something was wrong. He stopped and looked around warily.

"Hehe, have you noticed something's wrong?" A faint figure gradually became clearer ten meters away from Chen Feng.

It was an elderly man in white robes with purple hair, a playful smile on his face.

"Being able to sense something was wrong means you're already quite excellent. The previous trainees all fell directly into nightmares."

"Who are you?" Chen Feng asked, frowning in confusion, as if he didn't know this person at all.

The one before him was definitely not Shi Nian's true form, and Chen Feng's Purple Demon Eye realm was not enough to break the illusion, but he had his own methods.

In fact, ever since he left the jewelry store, Chen Feng had been able to sense a fairly strong sensation about ten meters to his right, which corresponded to a very rare Tai Chi Yin position.

But he didn't look in the direction he sensed at all. Instead, he cooperated by walking for a long time, just so that Shi Nian would lead him to a sparsely populated place.

It's easier to get things done when there are fewer people.

“Hehe, I am Shi Nian from Canghui Academy, and I will be your opponent in the next round,” Shi Nian said.

"You want to kill me? To eliminate a competitor for your academy?" Chen Feng asked, a look of sudden realization on his face.

"Is that even a question? I'm not here to invite you to dinner," Shi Nian said with a cold laugh.

"To be honest, I didn't want to deal with you right now. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is still a force to be reckoned with. But that person was in a hurry and put Cang Hui and your Hydra together. And you are the student in your academy who likes to go out the most. You can only blame yourself. Remember to run around less in your next life."

“I will remember.” Chen Feng nodded and summoned his martial soul. “Is the one you’re talking about Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall? I don’t like to die in ignorance. Can I die knowing why?”

"It seems you've become aware of your situation. Yes, it's that person." Shi Nian looked at Chen Feng, who appeared calm, and a strange unease arose in his heart.

But he didn't take this feeling to heart, because he was a Soul Saint. How could there be any problems if he condescended to kill a Soul Master?
How could a Soul Saint possibly lose to a Soul Master? No matter how you look at it, there's absolutely no possibility of an unexpected outcome.

The advantage is his.

However, Chen Feng's behavior still aroused Shi Nian's doubts. "Knowing that you are about to die, why are you so calm?"

Chen Feng pursed his lips. "I thought you were going to ask me why I was so serious, and then suddenly burst into laughter."

This way, he can forcefully turn the corners of his mouth downwards, making a dark expression.

"What?" Shi Nian didn't understand what Chen Feng meant.

Chen Feng didn't explain, he just smiled and said:
"As for why I'm so calm, it's because..."

He suddenly pointed his sword to the right, and the sword in his hand turned black at that moment.

"I won't be the one who dies today."

Before Shi Nian could react, he discovered that everything around him had changed.

He had previously used an illusion to lure Chen Feng into a deserted forest, but after Chen Feng pointed his sword at him, he found himself in an extremely unfamiliar place.

Daytime turned into night in an instant, the sun disappeared from the sky and was replaced by a bright silver moon.

Beneath Shi Nian's feet was a huge and illusory complex pattern, which was attached to the dim earth, and Shi Nian was currently in the center of it.

Although Shi Nian didn't know how Chen Feng had found his true location and brought him to this unfamiliar place, he still felt no tension.

His Soul Saint level gave him enough confidence, and Chen Feng was still in the illusion.

Therefore, Shi Nian believed that as long as he used his seventh soul skill, Nightmare, the boy would die in madness and pain.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did.

However, when Shi Nian used Nightmare, Chen Feng also made a move.

He held his sword in both hands, bowed slightly in a certain direction, and said solemnly:

"Please, Your Majesty the Snow Emperor, possess me."

The moment the words fell, Shi Nian saw a burst of white light emanate from the illusory pattern on the ground, and the figure of a white-haired woman emerged from it, then transformed into light and entered Chen Feng's body.

The next second, Shi Nian was horrified to discover that the nightmare she had created had shattered silently.

"Sword intent!?"

Could it be Chen Xin? But that was clearly a woman just now, and even if it were Chen Xin, he couldn't have broken his nightmare so easily.

He didn't even see the sword.

Could it be that the Chen family has a hidden expert? And that Chen Feng has some means to summon this expert to protect him? At this moment, Shi Nian finally realized that things were out of his control. He tried to escape, but his body seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all.

"To die or to live?" A cold voice echoed in Chen Feng's mind.

Thanks to the dual immunity to ice and fire provided by the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Vegetable, Chen Feng is immune to the power of ice and snow. However, the Snow Empress's excessively powerful soul force still causes Chen Feng pain.

Fortunately, the Snow Empress knew this, so she only sent over a very small portion of her power, which prevented Chen Feng from exploding and dying.

This was thanks to the tests they had conducted in the far north, which allowed Xue Di to know the limits of what Chen Feng could withstand.

While enduring the throbbing pain within his body, Chen Feng stated his request:
"You're going to die."

Once the request was made, his body went out of control, his right hand involuntarily rose and pointed at Shi Nian, then made a light, sweeping gesture.

"cut!"

Countless snowflakes appeared out of thin air in the cycle of reincarnation and quickly attached themselves to Shi Nian, turning him into a human-shaped ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.

Then, with a crisp sound, countless cracks spread across the human-shaped ice sculpture, and it shattered into pieces on the ground.

After doing this, Xue Di's power and consciousness were withdrawn from Chen Feng's body.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Snow Emperor."

"You're welcome. By the way, let me tell you something. I didn't notice it during the previous test, but after I possessed you this time, I feel that my mind has become much sharper. Your brain is quite useful."

After saying this, Xue Di's consciousness departed.

"What the hell is 'good brain'?" Chen Feng didn't even have the energy to complain anymore. Xue Di's attack had drained most of his soul power, and he couldn't even use a single soul skill.

If it weren't for the Snow Empress deliberately leaving him a bit of soul power, he would probably have fainted on the spot, just like during the previous competition.

Fortunately, the problem has been solved, and all that's left is to pick up the soul bone so we can return to the academy.

However, just as Chen Feng was about to walk towards the fragments of Shi Nian, Shi Nian's illusory figure emerged from the fragments and stood stiffly in place, as if bound by some kind of force.

At this moment, Shi Nian looked somewhat bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened.

"What's wrong with me? What did you do to me?"

Chen Feng's eyes were a little red at this moment. He looked at Shi Nian's illusory soul and a deep-seated longing arose in his heart.

Swallow him! Swallow him! This soul is a fine tonic; just eat it.
Chen Feng realized something was wrong. He tried to suppress his inner desires, but he couldn't.

He knew that the Yin Sword had the ability to devour souls, and he also guessed that after using the Yin Sword to devour souls, he might develop some kind of addiction to soul devouring.

However, he never expected that the souls extracted after killing with the Yin Sword would have an extremely strong allure for him.

Back then, Chen Feng was able to easily give up the souls of the Heavy Mud Horse and the Golden Blade Mantis because he had the Ice Heart Soul Skill protecting him. However, now he simply doesn't have enough soul power to unleash his soul skill.

Shi Nian's soul noticed that Chen Feng's gaze was becoming increasingly strange, and a genuine fear arose in his heart, a sense of panic as if he had encountered a predator.

"Spare me, please spare me! If you let me go this time, I can assassinate anyone for you. I can kill silently, and it will be hard for others to find out." Looking at the terrifying eyes of the boy in front of him, Shi Nian frantically demonstrated his value in an attempt to escape the misfortune that was about to befall him.

However, this was all in vain. If Shi Nian did not have the strength of a Soul Saint, nor was he a Soul Master who specialized in cultivating the spirit, then his soul might not have been so attractive to Chen Feng, and Chen Feng might have been able to resist it with his willpower.

However, as a Soul Saint who specialized in spiritual cultivation, Shi Nian's soul quality was exceptionally high.

For Chen Feng, who was in poor condition at the moment, this soul was like a feast placed in front of a starving person. Chen Feng simply couldn't resist eating it.

Most importantly, Shi Nian was the one who actively came to kill Chen Feng, which made it impossible for Chen Feng to find an excuse that the other party was innocent.

So after persisting for a while, Chen Feng finally reached out to Shi Nian's soul. Devouring the enemy's soul didn't seem like such an unacceptable thing.

"No! No! Let me go, please let me go!" Shi Nian's soul became terrified. He felt himself being pulled forward by an invisible force, as if he was slowly falling into an abyss.

The Snow Emperor acted too quickly just now, and he hadn't even experienced what death felt like. Now, his soul was forcibly extracted and bound by the Yin Sword, and he was about to be pulled toward an unknown end. Shi Nian finally felt immense fear.

Sudden death is not actually scary, but the feeling of waiting to die is terrifying, enough to break a person.

But no matter how much Shi Nian cried and begged for mercy, his soul was gradually and resolutely pulled toward Chen Feng.

During this process, Shi Nian's illusory soul was pulled and deformed, and finally, like a noodle, it was sucked into Chen Feng's mouth.

After Chen Feng completely devoured Shi Nian's soul, the influence from the soul on him disappeared, and his mind became much clearer.

But before he could react, everything went black and he completely lost consciousness.

When Chen Feng opened his eyes again, he saw a white roof and some familiar medical equipment.

"Hospital? Oh right, I fell off a cliff earlier." Chen Feng looked around at his surroundings, his consciousness gradually returning.

He tried to move his body and felt that he was not seriously injured, so he sat up and pressed the call button next to the hospital bed.

"Speaking of which, I fell off a cliff but wasn't seriously injured, which is quite lucky. However, I always feel like something is not quite right." Chen Feng pondered silently.

But even when the nurse came to the ward, he still couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he temporarily suppressed the thought in his mind.

"Bed 16, you're awake? You're pretty lucky. You fell off a cliff and were caught by a tree, and your colleagues found you quickly and brought you here," the nurse said as she walked in and looked Chen Feng up and down.

"So, I'm fine?" Chen Feng's voice was a little hoarse.

"Yes, we've already examined you, and you have a mild concussion."

"Can I be discharged from the hospital?"

"It should be fine, I'll go ask the doctor." The nurse turned and left.

Soon, Chen Feng completed the discharge procedures and returned home by car.
