Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 103 Ancient Banyan Tree: So your name is Han Feng?

In the two months since Dai Mubai returned to the academy, Tang San and Oscar have both advanced to level 40, while Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun have reached level 39 and will likely break through to level 40 soon.

Because Ning Rongrong is still in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, no one knows her exact level. However, from the letters Ning Rongrong sent back, everyone can tell that even if she hasn't reached level 40, she's close. Only when she breaks through to level 40 will Ning Fengzhi and the others be willing to let Ning Rongrong leave the sect.

In the past two months, Han Feng's enthusiasm for cultivation has suddenly waned after successfully breaking through to level 40. Even if he didn't eat or drink for a year, he might not be able to accumulate one level of soul power.

Dai Mubai seems to have made new progress with Zhu Zhuqing recently, so he rarely hangs out with Han Feng. Under these circumstances, Han Feng has a lot more time to study his soul skills.

After two months, although he had not developed any new self-created soul skills, Han Feng had successfully expanded the teleportation range of his second soul skill, Fixed-Point Guardian, so that the embarrassing situation of being unable to teleport due to being too far away from his teammates during the battle against the Berserker Team would no longer occur.

Secondly, Han Feng also developed the second transformation of the Immovable Flame Demon. Of course, this inevitably increased the soul power consumption of the Immovable Flame Demon. For Han Feng now, it can only be used as a trump card.

However, Han Feng's cultivation plan has been interrupted these past few days.

That day, Han Feng was holed up in his dormitory, holding the first letter Qian Renxue had sent in the past six months, flipping through it listlessly.

It's not that Han Feng doesn't want to go out, it's just that he hasn't been able to leave the house at all these past few days!

Because Valentine's Day only comes once every seven years in mainland China, as soon as he goes out, he is guaranteed to see countless couples being all lovey-dovey in front of him, oblivious to everyone else. There are also many female students trying to give him candy in various ways, which annoys him to no end. According to Ma Hongjun and the others, even Xiao Wu has tried her best to trick Tang San into eating some kind of 'love candy' these past two days!

Although Han Feng really wanted to complain about the fact that Douluo Continent also has Valentine's Day, in order not to make himself feel uncomfortable, Han Feng decided that it would be better to stay in the dormitory for a few days, just to give himself a vacation.

"Fengzi! I knew you were here!" But clearly, someone didn't want to give Han Feng a break. Han Feng didn't even hear his footsteps before Dai Mubai pushed open the door and ran in.

Han Feng quickly put away the envelope and yelled at Dai Mubai, "Aren't you childish?! You walked around without making a sound?! Just to scare me?! And how many times have I told you?! Can't you knock before coming in?!"

Dai Mubai laughed and didn't deny it. He had indeed deliberately lowered his footsteps just now, and as for knocking... Han Feng hadn't knocked when he came to find him either!

Seeing Han Feng frantically tidying up the envelopes, Dai Mubai scoffed disdainfully, "Reading the letters your sister Qianqian sent you again?! You must have a lot of free time!"

Han Feng rolled his eyes: "If I don't read Qianqian's letter, am I supposed to go out and see you two lovey-dovey couples?!"

Back in the village, Dai Mubai already knew of Qianqian's existence, since he and Han Feng shared a dormitory. However, he never asked Han Feng who Qianqian was, nor did he read the letters Qianqian sent to Han Feng, just as Han Feng never asked Dai Mubai about the Star Luo Empire.

"Don't say that! Do you think everyone is like you?!" Dai Mubai chuckled twice, speaking without a care in the world.

Han Feng just gave a cold laugh.

"By the way, didn't Rongrong write you a letter?" Dai Mubai asked again, but quickly, as if he had just realized something, he exclaimed, "That's right! Rongrong probably wouldn't dare, and who knows if you'd even read it!"

Hearing the obvious teasing in Dai Mubai's words, Han Feng felt a strange unease, a hint of disappointment flashing through his mind, but he still stubbornly retorted, "Tch! Why would she write to me!?"

Dai Mubai merely gave a cold laugh in response.

Based on his understanding of Han Feng, he could roughly guess what Han Feng was thinking, and couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).

Big progress!

"But why did you come to find me? It's Valentine's Day, why aren't you bothering Zhu Qing? Why are you here looking for a scolding?!" Han Feng didn't want to talk about Ning Rongrong with Dai Mubai, so he asked Dai Mubai instead.

Speaking of Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai's expression darkened, and he sighed helplessly, saying, "She was fine just two days ago, but today she suddenly told me that she wanted to break through to level 40 as soon as possible, so she went into seclusion. What can I do..."

"So what? You came here just to chat?" Han Feng rolled his eyes and sneered.

"How could that be!" Dai Mubai suddenly perked up, excitedly saying, "Let me tell you, Tang San got into a fight! Not just a ring battle, but a real fight! He even brought out someone's elders! Don't you think we, as brothers, should lend Tang San a hand?!"

"Tang San got into a fight?" Han Feng frowned. Tang San wasn't the type to cause trouble, so it was quite a surprise that he got into a fight with someone in the academy!

"Isn't it Valentine's Day recently? Tang San is also a steel structure, and no matter how Xiao Wu coaxed him, he wouldn't eat love candy. As a result, Xiao Wu got angry and asked, 'Who wants to eat my love candy?' Then some idiot stepped forward, and then you know..." Dai Mubai shrugged and said with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng immediately understood. So it was the Power Clan!

Han Feng glanced at Dai Mubai, still unwilling to go out, and waved his hand listlessly: "You go if you want! That person's elder is probably a Soul Douluo. If we go, we'll just be easy prey. Anyway, don't worry, even if you die, Tang San won't!"

Dai Mubai's eyes widened: "Contra!?"

Dai Mubai originally thought that Tailong's elder was at most a Soul Emperor, and that he, Han Feng, and Tang San might be able to put up a fight against him head-on—he was itching to show his skills.

This is not Dai Mubai's fault. Firstly, the Power Clan has been in seclusion for many years, and secondly, Dai Mubai has long been far away from the center of the Star Luo Royal Family. Where would he get so much information?

Upon hearing this, they were immediately astonished to learn that it was actually a Soul Douluo!

"Then shouldn't we help Tang San even more?! Fengzi! Are you really crazy?! Hurry up and inform the dean and the others!" Dai Mubai was a little anxious. That was a Soul Douluo! Even Liu Erlong, the strongest in the entire Shrek Academy, was only a Soul Saint!

Han Feng glanced at Dai Mubai, sighed helplessly, knowing that Dai Mubai would not stand idly by, so he had no choice but to stand up. Just as he was about to nod, he saw a grim old man who was almost nothing but a skeleton appear at the door!

The old man squinted, his aura completely concealed, and stared at Dai Mubai and Han Feng with a strange expression. Seeing that Han Feng had noticed him, he grinned, revealing his teeth, and asked with a sly smile, "Going!? Where are you going!?"

"Who are you!?"

Han Feng was shocked, his whole body tensed up instantly, and Dai Mubai's expression also changed, his evil-eyed white tiger instantly possessing him, staring at the old man warily.

The old man did not answer Han Feng's question. Instead, he looked the two of them up and down, a hint of satisfied appreciation flashing in his eyes. Finally, his gaze fell on Han Feng, and a chilling malice emanated from him, making Han Feng shudder!

"So your name is Han Feng!?"

Han Feng didn't even see the old man move. In the blink of an eye, the old man teleported in front of him. His thin, bony body exuded a terrifying pressure, and he asked in a voice that revealed neither joy nor anger.

Han Feng's eyes narrowed. He wanted to escape, but he found that he couldn't move at all. It was as if an invisible hand was grabbing him, or perhaps the space around him was frozen!

"Damn it! What did you do to Fengzi!?" Seeing Han Feng remain motionless, Dai Mubai, who was standing to the side, knew exactly what the old man had done. His heterochromatic eyes flashed with rage, and he activated his first, third, and fourth soul skills, unleashing his berserk body. He then slammed down two Gengjin Heavenly Fiend Halberds!

"Oh!? A ten-thousand-year soul ring!? Interesting!" A strange light flashed in the old man's eyes, but he showed no sign of panic. With a casual slap, he directly broke through Dai Mubai's true body armor, which had undergone three transformations.

"boom!"

The power of this palm strike was far more than that. Dai Mubai's eyes narrowed, the Gengjin Heavenly Fiend Halberd shattered, and a large hole was smashed into Han Feng's dormitory. Dai Mubai flew out of that hole.

And this is all without the old man using his martial soul and soul rings!

Han Feng was deeply shocked, constantly trying to recall when and how he had offended this powerful figure!

"Big Brother Bai! Go find the Dean and the Master!" Han Feng couldn't understand it no matter what, but he knew that the only people who could possibly contend with this unknown powerhouse were probably Flander and the others with their Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique!

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth as he got up from the ground. He knew that even if he and Han Feng joined forces, they would not be a match for the man in front of him. Without hesitation, he turned around and left!

The old man did not stop Dai Mubai, and Dai Mubai was able to leave smoothly.

Looking for Flanders?

Go ahead and look for him! The old man's search for Han Feng is, to some extent, a family matter!

After Dai Mubai left, Han Feng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Senior, I really don't know how I offended you, but I still apologize for the trouble I've caused you!"

When it comes to arrogance, no one in the entire Shrek Academy is better at pretending than Han Feng; similarly, when it comes to admitting defeat, no one in the entire Shrek Academy knows better than Han Feng how to assess the situation!

If Han Feng had even the slightest chance to defend himself, those few breaths would have been enough for him to verbally abuse the old man until he was driven to the brink of madness. But the problem was, Han Feng was utterly powerless to resist.

If he didn't even have this much self-awareness, how could Han Feng, with his terrible breath, have survived until now?!

"Excellent!" To everyone's surprise, the old man, upon hearing Han Feng's words, not only wasn't angry, but instead smiled appreciatively and praised, "To remain calm in the face of great calamity shows exceptional character; at less than thirteen years old, your cultivation has already reached level forty, your soul power is pure, comparable to a Soul King, and your talent is equally top-notch!"
