Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 50 is overdue!?

"bump!"

"Huff! Huff!"

The bull-headed soul beast was pierced by the Cero, the dark red Cero instantly robbing it of all its life force, and it crashed helplessly to the ground. Han Feng quickly deactivated his Hollowfication and Flame Dragon Armor. A strong sense of weakness swept over his entire body, causing Han Feng to gasp for breath.

Looking at the enormous corpse in front of him, Han Feng felt incredibly lucky!

Although the battle between the two seemed to end in an instant, in reality, if the soul beast hadn't been careless, if the soul beast hadn't been so unintelligent, and if Han Feng hadn't made a decisive move, Han Feng really wasn't sure if he could have defeated the soul beast without disturbing Tang San!

Han Feng's charged shield strike had already gathered the power of the previous soul beast's attack, reaching the high level of Soul Venerable. However, the feeling of Han Feng hitting the soul beast was like hitting iron. Apart from knocking it away, he probably didn't manage to inflict any damage on the soul beast at all!

Fortunately, Cero has strong penetrating power, otherwise the outcome would have been uncertain!

"Buzz—"

The next moment, Han Feng saw a purple spirit ring float up from the body of that spirit beast.

Han Feng frowned upon seeing this.

Admittedly, this soul beast is very suitable as his third soul ring. Both its strength and defense meet Han Feng's requirements. If it could inherit the soul beast's own soul skills, it might satisfy Han Feng even more.

However, this would mean that Han Feng would also have to protect Tang San. In the perilous Star Dou Great Forest, it would be unwise for both of them to absorb spirit rings.

Secondly, Han Feng didn't know much about soul beasts, and he couldn't even determine the name of this soul beast or its age—Han Feng didn't want to take any risks!

In the end, Han Feng sighed and could only let it dissipate.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

At that moment, Han Feng heard a strange noise. He was startled, but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who it was.

"Teacher Zhao! You've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing Zhao Wuji, Han Feng collapsed to the ground.

Zhao Wuji landed, gave Han Feng a deep look, and ultimately didn't ask the question that had been bothering him. Instead, he asked, "Where is Tang San?"

Zhao Wuji had many questions. What exactly was that dark red light from before? Why was Han Feng's soul power fluctuation so cold and obsessive? Why did Han Feng possess such a powerful attack soul skill but not tell anyone?

Every Soul Master has their own secrets. Zhao Wuji ultimately didn't ask, but only asked why he hadn't seen Tang San.

Han Feng was unaware of Zhao Wuji's thoughts. He simply removed the concealment shield, and Tang San, who was absorbing a spirit ring, appeared before everyone.

"He's absorbing a spirit ring? He's level 30? What kind of spirit beast's spirit ring is it?"

Seeing the purple spirit ring that Tang San had not yet fully absorbed, Zhao Wuji's tiger eyes narrowed. Although he was surprised by Tang San's talent, he was obviously more worried that Han Feng and Tang San might not know their own strength and absorb unsuitable or too powerful spirit rings.

Then Zhao Wuji caught a glimpse of the corpse of the soul beast behind Han Feng and asked, "Is that the soul ring of this soul beast?"

"No! This spirit beast's spirit ring is still there..." Zhao Wuji saw the spirit ring again, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he stared at Han Feng questioningly.

Han Feng rolled his eyes: "Tang San broke through to level 30 under the pressure of the Titan Giant Ape. After that, we encountered the Human-Faced Demon Spider. Tang San said he wanted its spirit ring, so I helped him hunt down the Human-Faced Demon Spider!"

"As for the Human-Faced Demon Spider, it was already eaten by this soul beast. This soul beast seems to have a grudge against the Human-Faced Demon Spider. After the Human-Faced Demon Spider died, it came over. I had no choice but to fight it. After finally killing it, you arrived!"

After hearing Han Feng's explanation, Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Human-faced Demon Spider? How old is this Human-faced Demon Spider?"

Although the Human-Faced Demon Spider is not a top-tier soul beast like the Titan Giant Ape, it is still a powerful soul beast, and soul rings of the same age would be much more difficult for it to absorb.

Han Feng chuckled, half-jokingly saying, "Look at what you're saying! Even Tang San and I couldn't beat a three- or four-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider!"

It's not three or four thousand years... but two thousand years, just past the limit.

Zhao Wuji nodded, agreeing with Han Feng's assessment. He turned to the bull-headed spirit beast, examined it for a moment, and muttered, "A 1,500-year-old Scaled Bull... that Human-Faced Demon Spider can't be more than 1,700 years old. The Human-Faced Demon Spider... would be quite suitable as Tang San's third spirit ring!"

"So this spirit beast is called a Scaled Bull!" Han Feng suddenly realized.

"Hmph!" Zhao Wuji snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said to Han Feng in an annoyed tone, "You brat, go back and learn some knowledge about soul beasts!"

Han Feng gave an awkward smile.

Seeing Han Feng's reaction, Zhao Wuji didn't say anything more. He pointed to the Scaled Bull's spirit ring and said to Han Feng, "Since you killed this Scaled Bull and its spirit ring attributes are suitable, do you want to absorb it?"

Although the priority now is to save Xiao Wu, Zhao Wuji believes that being captured by the Titan Giant Ape means that she is probably doomed—anyway, Tang San is busy absorbing spirit rings and probably won't wake up for a while.

Han Feng thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright then!"

Although the Scaled Ox didn't completely meet Han Feng's expectations, he was still satisfied overall. Since Zhao Wuji said the age was suitable, he couldn't be too picky. After all, with Xiao Wu's incident, the others probably weren't in the mood to continue hunting soul beasts.

After saying that, Han Feng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down cross-legged to begin absorbing the soul ring.

With Zhao Wuji protecting them, there was indeed nothing that could threaten them on the outskirts of the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest. While Zhao Wuji and the others were still thinking about Xiao Wu, Han Feng was completely relaxed. He knew that Xiao Wu would be back on her own soon.

Han Feng originally thought that Tang San would need to resist the attacks of external soul bones to absorb soul rings beyond his current age, while his own soul power was pure and his soul rings were of a lower age, so he would definitely be faster than Tang San.

But that's not actually the case.

Even after the sun had fully risen, Han Feng had not successfully absorbed the energy. Xiao Wu had returned, and Tang San had finished absorbing it, but Han Feng still hadn't woken up!

The first thing Tang San saw when he woke up was Xiao Wu, and they were naturally filled with affection for each other.

Afterwards, Tang San inquired about Han Feng's situation—Han Feng had been kind to him, and given Tang San's character, even if Xiao Wu was safe and sound, he wouldn't pretend nothing had happened.

When Tang San heard that Han Feng had protected him by killing a '1,500-year-old scaled ox', he couldn't help but feel moved. But when he saw the so-called scaled ox, he was shocked!

"Teacher Zhao! Han Feng is absorbing its spirit ring!?"

Tang San pointed at the bull-headed soul beast and asked anxiously.

Zhao Wuji was taken aback. Although he didn't understand why Tang San was reacting so strongly, he still nodded: "Yeah! What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San's pupils contracted!

"Teacher Zhao! This isn't a 1,500-year-old Scaled Ox! It's a variant of the Scaled Ox, the Immovable Crocodile-Scaled Ox! And this Immovable Crocodile-Scaled Ox doesn't have a cultivation level of 1,500 years, but rather 2,200 years!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji's eyes narrowed, and he asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"That's right..." Tang San's tone was solemn, but unlike Zhao Wuji, he wasn't panicked: "This spirit ring exceeds the limit for a spirit master's third spirit ring!"

"What should we do then!?" Zhao Wuji's face darkened. Han Feng was his student, and if Han Feng died because of his mistake, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life—more importantly, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family might kill him!

Tang San seemed rather calm. After all, he had absorbed a spirit ring beyond his age limit and successfully subdued an external spirit bone. If he could do it, there was no reason why Han Feng couldn't.

In Tang San's eyes, Han Feng was a true genius!

After all, he was only able to barely keep up with Xiao Wu's cultivation level by relying on the Xuan Tian Gong and his diligent cultivation day and night, while Han Feng not only surpassed Xiao Wu's cultivation progress, but his soul power was also excessively pure!

"Teacher Zhao, there's no need to worry! Han Feng's soul power quality is comparable to that of a Soul Master. A difference of three to five hundred years in soul power shouldn't be a problem for Han Feng..."

"I hope so!"
