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

Chapter 234 Dark Oath
Upon returning to the palace, Qian Renxue dismissed all her attendants and went to her room alone.

After a while, the old man-like Bloodthirst arrived silently.

"Young Master," Ci Xue bowed.

"Elder, what do you think of Chen Feng?" Qian Renxue asked.

After pondering for a moment, Ci Xue said, "If he is indeed that scholar, then he must be an exceptional talent. Young Master has always wanted to recruit him, so why is he asking this now? Is something wrong?"

"Sigh, he may have already realized that there is something wrong with my identity." Qian Renxue sighed softly.

"What?" Bloodthirst exclaimed in surprise. "How did he see through our disguise?"

“His martial soul has the ability to sense the attributes of other people’s martial souls, while my martial soul…” Qian Renxue didn’t finish her sentence, but Ci Xue already understood what she meant.

"This is truly... impossible to guard against."

Ci Xue looked at Qian Renxue and asked:
"So, young master, what are your plans? Should I go...?"

"No!" Qian Renxue refused decisively.

She then realized that her tone was a bit hasty and said in a slower voice:
“This person is useful to us, and he is involved with quite a few forces, so we can’t touch him.”

"Yes," Bloodthirst replied.

"I plan to find an opportunity to sound him out and see what his attitude is towards the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Spirit Hall, and then take the next step," Qian Renxue said, revealing her thoughts.

But Bloodthirst wasn't optimistic. "That incident before might affect his perception of the Temple."

"No, it will only affect his perception of the Papal Palace. The Papal Palace cannot represent the entire Spirit Hall, and we don't need to take the blame for the Papal Palace's foolish behavior," Qian Renxue said calmly.

This left Ci Xue speechless, so he could only remain silent.

Qian Renxue remained silent, recalling Chen Feng's earlier words, and sighed softly in her heart:
"Xiao Feng, after you know my true identity, will you still be willing to stand by my side?"

There is a one-month rest period after the qualifiers.

Chen Feng didn't waste this time; he planned to complete a task he hadn't finished before: figuring out exactly what the Yin Sword's advanced abilities were.

Judging from the characteristics of the Yin-Yang Twin Swords, their advanced abilities should belong to the same category as each other's basic abilities.

For example, the advanced ability of the Yang Sword, Light Protection Sword, belongs to the sealing category. By analogy, the advanced ability of the Yin Sword would be the protection category.

Based on this speculation, Chen Feng and his companions began to try it.

The initial attempts were not very successful because the environment inside the Samsara Abyss was completely visible, and apart from Chen Feng, there was only one "enemy," so he couldn't even find the target he wanted to protect.

Even using Tang San as a test subject, and having him create a clone as the target, wouldn't work.

Until an unexpected event occurred: after Chen Feng and Tang San entered the Samsara Abyss, Ning Rongrong, who was playing with the cat nearby, was led by the Dark Soul Cat to approach the light and shadow figures that Chen Feng and Tang San had transformed into.

This wouldn't normally be a problem. Everyone knows that once Chen Feng activates the Samsara Realm, no one can enter. Even if someone dances around the light and shadow area, nothing will happen.

However, this time, after Ning Rongrong approached the light and shadow that Chen Feng had transformed into, Chen Feng, who was in the cycle of rebirth, suddenly felt as if he had a strange connection with someone.

Just when Chen Feng was at a loss for what to do, he quickly seized this connection, and then... he saw Ning Rongrong appear in front of him with a bewildered look on her face.

Outside, the others were initially alarmed when they saw Ning Rongrong disappear, but then they realized what had happened.

"What's going on? Isn't the Samsara Abyss supposed to be inaccessible?" Ma Hongjun said, circling around the light and shadow twice.

"Could this be Feng Ge's new ability? To actively pull outsiders into the cycle of reincarnation?" Oscar speculated.

"That's possible. They could just pull their teammates in and turn it into a two-on-one fight. Goodness, forced one-on-one was already outrageous enough, but this is just too unfair." Dai Mubai exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Wu glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside her, her eyes darting around, and said:

"I just don't know if this ability is something everyone can have, or if it's only unique to Rongrong."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's face visibly darkened.

At this moment, Chen Feng was unaware that a certain rabbit spirit was causing trouble outside; he was researching his newly discovered ability.

The Cycle of Despair forces him into a 1v1 duel with his opponent, while this advanced ability allows him to pull in friendly units, creating an unbalanced 2v1 environment.

The premise is that this friendly unit has established some kind of connection with Chenfeng.

This connection was spiritual, which Chen Feng had not noticed until he accidentally pulled Ning Rongrong into the cycle of reincarnation. Only then did he realize that he had undergone some unknown changes after that illusion.

After several attempts, Chen Feng quickly mastered this special connection and could actively establish or dissolve it.

As for how he established contact with Ning Rongrong, he quickly figured it out. It was probably the result of Ning Rongrong waking him up in the illusion while he was asleep, which happened by chance.

When Chen Feng shared his speculation, Ning Rongrong was overjoyed:
"Xiao Feng, then we can fight together from now on. Let's keep this connection going."

"Hmm, that works too. You're a support-type Soul Master, so this way I can protect you," Chen Feng said after thinking for a moment.

In team battles, this ability has great tactical value. Bringing in a support-type Soul Master to fight alongside you in a 2v1 is much better than leaving her outside to be surrounded and attacked.

However, this presents another problem: Chen Feng has no way of knowing when Ning Rongrong is in danger and needs protection, and when she doesn't.

The fact that one cannot see the outside world from the cycle of reincarnation is a problem.

Unable to think of a solution immediately, Chen Feng had no choice but to put the problem aside and consider the next one.

That is, since he can bring people in, can he also let them out?

With this in mind, Chen Feng re-established contact with Ning Rongrong and then began his experiment through this connection.

After a while, Ning Rongrong suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and her body became ethereal.

Tang San, worried that something had happened, hurriedly tried to pull her back with his Blue Silver Grass, but the Blue Silver Grass passed right through Ning Rongrong's phantom body.

The next second, Ning Rongrong disappeared from the cycle of reincarnation.

Outside, the group discussed Chen Feng's new ability for a while, and were just about to wait for Chen Feng and the other two to come out before continuing their conversation when they saw Ning Rongrong's illusory figure appear in front of them.

Then, in front of everyone, Ning Rongrong appeared behind the Dark Soul Cat as if by teleportation, startling Little Black so much that it bristled and transformed into a Spinosaurus. "What, what's going on? I can teleport?" Ning Rongrong was still a little confused.

At this moment, Chen Feng released the Cycle of Reincarnation and came out with Tang San, a smile on his face, as if he had solved some key problem.

Upon seeing him come out, Ning Rongrong quickly recounted what had just happened.

Chen Feng was not surprised by this. "It's not that you can teleport, but that the Yin Sword has spatial attributes, so after I send you out, you can adjust your landing point by teleporting."

As for the source of the spatial attributes, it's naturally Xiao Wu.

The reason why the Yin Sword was able to awaken was because it used Xiao Wu's blood. Although it seemed that the Ghost's blood could also work, Chen Feng did not choose it for various reasons.

Looking back now, it was a wise choice.

The Yin Sword already possesses terrifying abilities and negative effects related to the soul; if it were awakened using the blood of a ghost, the outcome would be unpredictable.

Using Xiao Wu's blood would be different. Although there was no specific target for comparison, Chen Feng felt that Xiao Wu's blood should have weakened the negative effects of the Yin Sword to some extent.

Most importantly, it gave the Yin Sword spatial abilities.

From Xiao Wu's soul skill combinations in the original work, we can see that Invincible Golden Body, Flash, and Void are all space-type soul skills, indicating that she has a high spatial talent.

The Cycle of Despair is also a spatial ability, so it's hard to say that Xiao Wu's influence wasn't involved.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng glanced at Xiao Wu with some gratitude, but found that for some reason, she seemed a little guilty.

Is something wrong? Chen Feng was a little confused.

After Chen Feng's explanation, Ning Rongrong finally understood, and she soon had the same question as Chen Feng had before.

"If you can't see outside, it's very difficult to judge the situation."

"That problem has already been solved," Chen Feng said with a smile.

After he sent Ning Rongrong away, a forest scene appeared in the originally gloomy Reincarnation Abyss.

Chen Feng quickly realized that it was the scene Ning Rongrong was seeing at that moment.

"In other words, after establishing this connection with you, you are essentially my eyes outside the Samsara Barrier, allowing me to assess the situation outside at any time," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Wow, that's amazing! I wish my martial soul had so many abilities," Ma Hongjun said with envy.

"Because of this martial spirit, I've suffered a lot of trouble and worry. It's a trade-off," Chen Feng said.

Ma Hongjun envied him, but he envied those who started with the Xuanyuan Sword and the Heaven-Opening Axe. His martial spirit looked flashy, but they could break through all laws with sheer force.

But he wasn't destined for it, so what could he do?

Just as Chen Feng was feeling pleased with his discovery of the new ability, Gu Yueling suddenly interjected from the side:
"I just heard Xiaowu ask, I wonder if this kind of connection you establish with people can be with everyone or only with Rongrong?"

Xiao Wu looked at Gu Yueling in shock. She never expected to be betrayed by this person. However, all she saw was a pair of innocent big eyes.

For a moment, Xiao Wu couldn't figure out whether Gu Yueling did it on purpose or by accident.

"Xiao Wu!" As soon as Chen Feng heard Gu Yueling's words, he understood Xiao Wu's sinister intentions and was immediately furious.

Well, no wonder you seemed so guilty earlier. So you were plotting against me behind my back.

Seeing that things were not going well, Xiao Wu immediately turned and ran, hiding behind Tang San.

While dodging her, she didn't forget to fan the flames, saying, "Zhuqing, I'm asking this question for you."

"Stop trying to sow discord here. This kind of connection is under my control. I will choose who to establish a relationship with based on my needs," Chen Feng said with a dark face.

Xiao Wu peeked her head out from behind Tang San and asked, "When Zhu Qing and Rong Rong are both present, who will you connect with?"

"You die!" Chen Feng charged forward, sword in hand.

"I'm getting anxious, hehe." Xiao Wu started circling around Tang San and the Qin King pillar, while Tang San stood in the middle looking helpless.

He felt like he was back in Nottingham, when his two friends would use him as an obstacle when they fought.

"Alright, alright, stop it." Tang San simply tied them both up and forcefully broke up the fight, otherwise these two would have been fighting for who knows how long.

"Xiao Feng has figured out his new ability, which is something to be happy about. Let's put everything else aside for now."

As Tang San spoke, he tapped Xiao Wu on the head. Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue, looking obedient.

The others quickly tried to smooth things over, and the atmosphere finally became harmonious.

After being released, Chen Feng glared at Xiao Wu, then looked at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, and said:
"I call this connection the Dark Oath because Rongrong, as a support-type Soul Master, needs to be protected first, so I usually give the Dark Oath to her. However, if there are special tactical needs, this move can also be used to pull back assassins who have penetrated deep into the enemy's encirclement."

He wanted to consider the feelings of both girls, but tactical needs were the top priority, and he couldn't possibly treat them equally in this matter.

Whether the tactics can be successfully implemented now is related to the outcome of the game, and in the future it will be a matter of life and death. This is not something to be taken lightly, so he could only give this answer.

Fortunately, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were not unreasonable fairies. They nodded in understanding, which made Xiao Wu feel a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things." Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, but finally apologized.

Chen Feng knew she meant no harm and just wanted to joke with him, so he waved his hand and said:
"Actually, it's nothing. It's better to put it clearly. Dark Oath is just a tactical ability. Don't think it has any other meaning."

"Then what about your ability to pull people into the cycle of reincarnation and then send them out? What do you plan to call it?" Dai Mubai asked curiously.

Chen Feng thought for a moment, "Let's call it 'the call of fate,' that's exactly five words."

And the Light-Sealing Sword also has five characters, well, five characters is quite good.

After figuring out the advanced abilities of the Yin Sword and Yang Sword, Chen Feng turned his attention back to the basic abilities of the Yin Sword.

He had been thinking about how to organically combine Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. Since he couldn't find Ilex, after much thought, he realized that only the ability of his Yin Sword could be a breakthrough.
