Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 20 Three and a Half Years

"Son... are you really planning to go to that Shrek Academy? Actually, I think a few intermediate academies nearby are pretty good, especially the Heavenly Spirit Intermediate Academy. It has a royal background. With your talent, you could totally get into the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy through Heavenly Spirit Academy!"

Zhang Lingling looked at Han Feng with reluctance. Over the past three and a half years, Zhang Lingling's soul power had not increased much, and her appearance had not changed much either. Time seemed to have stood still for her, and she looked exactly the same as she had three and a half years ago.

Han Feng chuckled awkwardly. Ever since he announced he was going to study at Shrek Academy, Zhang Lingling had been constantly expressing her reluctance to let him go. Today alone was the third time—once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening.

In reality, Soto City and Stan City are not far apart; if you're willing, you can travel back and forth in a day.

Upon hearing this, Han Dang snorted coldly in dissatisfaction and said sharply, "Hmph! I think he just doesn't want to stay at home anymore, he wants to go out and play, and he thinks we're too old and annoying!"

Upon hearing Han Dang's words, Zhang Lingling's beautiful eyes immediately filled with sorrow. She stared intently at Han Feng and asked, "Feng'er..."

Han Feng dared not agree, and quickly shook his head, his hands moving in afterimages as he repeatedly denied it: "I never said that! I've said it before, going to Shrek Academy is a result of my careful consideration! Although Tianling Academy has a royal background, I really can't stand the aristocratic system; there are too many restrictions!"

"Although Shrek Academy isn't very famous, I've heard that anyone who successfully graduates from it is at least at the Soul Master level. The youngest Soul Emperor right now—Qin Ming—wasn't he a graduate of Shrek Academy?"

Han Feng argued vehemently, refusing to accept the blame that Han Dang had placed on him.

Of course, there was another reason Han Feng didn't mention—Shrek Academy has powerful backers!

Zhang Lingling sighed softly. Although she understood the reasoning, the thought of her son, whom she had raised for twelve years, leaving her was still difficult to accept.

Han Dang was even more direct, saying in a low voice, "Do you think your mother and I would have agreed to let you go to Shrek Academy if it weren't for this?!"

"However, I have one request!"

Han Dang changed the subject, staring solemnly at Han Feng, and said, word by word.

Han Feng was taken aback. Seeing Han Dang's seriousness, he naturally dared not joke: "Dad, what do you say?"

"I was young once too. When I was your age, I was very curious and wanted to understand everything about the world. But you must know that everything has its limits. I don't want something like what happened three years ago to happen again!"

Han Feng thought Han Dang was going to say something, but when he heard Han Dang bring up the old matter again, his face immediately fell, and he said with a bitter expression:

"Dad... I've explained this countless times. I didn't run away on my own three years ago. I was bewitched by a ten-thousand-year-old fire spirit cat!"

But Han Dang still didn't believe him: "I don't want to say the same thing again. You'd better watch yourself!"

Han Feng could only shrug helplessly.

Three and a half years ago, when Han Feng returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, he explained it to Han Dang, but neither Han Dang nor Zhang Lingling believed him.

Their reasoning was compelling—what Fire Spirit Cat?! Never even heard of it! Even if it really was a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that kidnapped Han Feng, how did he survive?

Han Feng had no choice but to nod and indicate that he understood. After all, he had promised Sister Qianqian that he would not tell anyone about her affairs, not even Zhang Lingling and Han Dang.

Han Dang then let Han Feng go and continued, "Besides that, I want you to always remember that you are a defensive-type Soul Master!"

"Um?"

Han Feng was somewhat puzzled and made a questioning sound.

Knowing that Han Feng didn't understand, Han Dang explained, "Feng'er, your talent is extraordinary. I even believe that 99% of the titled Douluo in the world don't have as much talent as you, Feng'er!"

When Han Dang said this, a look of pride naturally appeared on his face, and Zhang Lingling did the same.

Han Feng is almost twelve years old, but his soul power has already reached a terrifying level of 30!

To be precise, it was level 32. Originally, Han Dang intended to help Han Feng hunt for a spirit ring, but Han Feng refused. Han Feng's thinking was simple: he could still cultivate even without hunting for a spirit ring. Once he arrived at Shrek Academy, why not use the free labor?

Our family's money didn't come from thin air. Although Han Dang just broke through to the Soul King level last year and was in charge of the entire Soul Arena in Stan City, we are, after all, thrifty and hardworking kids!

Han Feng felt a little guilty upon hearing Han Dang's words.

Upon careful calculation, after absorbing the Overactive Rhinoceros's spirit ring, his spirit power had already reached level twenty-one, approaching level twenty-two. Adding the automatically increased spirit power of eight levels, in the past three years, he had actually only increased his spirit power by about two levels on his own.

Of course, Han Feng is not without achievements. At this moment, his soul power is at level 32, but the quality of his soul power is approaching that of a Soul Master. Even a Soul Master like Zhang Lingling, who is not good at fighting, has a soul power quality that is not as good as Han Feng's!

He has now created four soul skills. In addition to Sunfire and Concealment Shield, he has added a charged shield bash attack soul skill and an ultimate move that Han Feng named "Flame Dragon Armor."

To be honest, if it weren't for the limitations of his own martial soul and soul power, Han Feng would be a Soul Master, with an even greater number of soul skills!

"but!"

Han Dang's tone suddenly shifted, and he said sternly, "I want you to remember that you are a defensive-type Soul Master. Leave the show of bravado to offensive Soul Masters. You are a genius, with an external Soul Bone, self-created Soul Skills, high-quality and strong Soul Power. Even I would find it troublesome if you unleashed your full power. But you must know that the world of Soul Masters is full of dangers; only those who grow into true geniuses are truly exceptional!"

"With your talent, you are destined to become a Title Douluo. You will surely have a place in this world. Don't let momentary pride get you nowhere!"

Despite Han Dang's earnest advice, Han Feng merely curled his lip: "Two large shields, of course they're troublesome..."

"Snapped!"

Zhang Lingling frowned, gently patted Han Feng's head, and said reproachfully, "Listen to your father!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Han Feng nodded and stopped talking. While listening to Han Dang's insightful opinions, his thoughts drifted away. In fact, he had considered going to Tiandou Academy, after all, Sister Qianqian was a member of the royal family, but Sister Qianqian had rejected his idea in a reply.

—Even after parting ways in the Starry Sky Forest, Han Feng and Qian Renxue did not lose contact and maintained correspondence.

Of course, from beginning to end, Han Feng thought that his sister Qianqian was just a princess or county princess of the Tiandou royal family, and never thought of her as Qian Renxue.

When Han Feng thought of Qian Renxue, he naturally thought of his external soul bone and sighed inwardly.

After he discovered the anomaly of the external soul bone, he secretly studied it for a period of time, but ultimately made no progress.

Han Feng only knew that when his emotions fluctuated greatly, it would activate his soul power and enhance his strength to a certain extent. However, at the same time, his external soul bone would also become extremely active with the agitation of his soul power, which in turn would affect his emotions. If he could not control himself, he would easily fall into madness.

Han Feng had considered using control of it as a trump card, but emotions are something that can't be controlled just by wanting to.

Furthermore, this external soul bone of mine is quite unique; it doesn't accept positive emotions like joy and happiness, only negative emotions like rage and resentment can attract its attention.

This left Han Feng only able to sigh in frustration—even his deliberate attempts to vent his anger couldn't reach the required level of extreme volatility!

"Alright, alright! Dear Mom and Dad, I'm setting sail tomorrow! Don't worry about me, I have the oars of happiness and wisdom~"

Seeing that Han Dang had finished speaking, Han Feng sang happily. Although Han Dang and Zhang Lingling didn't understand the jokes, Han Feng had always been like this since he was a child, and he would say a few words that they didn't understand from time to time, so they got used to it.

At this moment, Han Dang was only thinking that his son was so talented that he would surely reach the top and look down on all the mountains in the future!

Zhang Lingling's thoughts were much more realistic: "My son is so handsome, I wonder how many daughters-in-law he'll bring back this time!"
