Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

Chapter 23 Chenfeng's First Soul Ring

Chen Feng sat cross-legged in front of the corpse of the heavy mud horse, summoned his martial spirit, and placed it flat on his lap.

Then, he closed his eyes, concentrated his soul power on the Tai Chi Bagua Sword, and drew upon the soul ring of the Heavy Mud Horse.

The shimmering yellow soul ring drifted toward Chen Feng, gradually shrinking until it transformed into a beam of light that entered the Gen position of the Tai Chi Bagua Sword.

The next moment, the Gen position of the Tai Chi Bagua Sword emitted an earthy yellow light, and the material of the entire sword became a little more solid, making it look much heavier.

When Chen Feng absorbed his first spirit ring, Chen Yun also saw the martial spirit he summoned.

This child's surname is Chen, and his martial soul is a sword. Could he be related to Sword Douluo? This thought popped into Chen Yun's mind.

However, he then became somewhat uncertain, because everyone knew that Sword Douluo was a single-lineage disciple and had never heard of any other clansmen, so it was unlikely that Chen Feng and Sword Douluo had any connection; it was probably just a coincidence.

The same thought also came to the master's mind, but because he had read the Spirit Hall's collection of books, he knew more accurate information.

As far as I know, the claim that the Sword Douluo family is a single-lineage family, as widely circulated, is actually somewhat inaccurate.

What can be confirmed is that the Sword Douluo family has had at least two generations of single-line succession.

As for whether Sword Douluo's grandfather had any blood relatives, due to the passage of time, there is no relevant information, so people habitually assume that he did not.

So, could Xiao Feng be a distant relative of Sword Douluo? Grandmaster pondered, stroking his chin.

As time passed, Chen Feng gradually awakened from the process of absorbing the soul ring.

"I did it!" A joyful smile appeared on his young face.

"What kind of soul skill did you acquire? Is it what you wanted?" Dai Mubai asked curiously.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking,” Chen Feng nodded and said.

He picked up the Tai Chi Bagua sword, casually twirled it, and said:

"My first soul skill allows me to consume soul power to increase the weight of this sword. The more soul power I consume, the stronger the weight increase effect. I call this soul skill Heavy Sword."

"This soul skill is quite good," the master commented. "It can greatly enhance your offensive capabilities and give you the ability to confront those powerful and heavy offensive soul masters head-on. Of course, the premise is that you can withstand the increased weight of this sword during battle."

"Yes, after obtaining this soul skill, my own strength has become a problem. It seems that I need to do some strength training next," Chen Feng said after thinking for a moment.

"That's what happens next. Let's continue helping Xiao Wu find spirit beasts. Once we find them, I'll go with Uncle Chen and Zhu Qing to hunt wind-attribute spirit beasts elsewhere," Dai Mubai said as he walked over.

"Brother Dai, have you decided on your path?" Chen Feng asked.

“Yes, I originally came here to hunt the Golden Tiger. My father said that this kind of soul beast can help me obtain the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, but I have just decided to switch to the wind attribute path, so naturally I have to go somewhere else.” Dai Mubai nodded and said.

"Have you given up on the metal-element path? If you take this path, you won't need to go anywhere else; you can solve the problem right here," Chen Feng said.

“No, I’ve figured it out. The metal attribute isn’t for me. I yearn for a free and unrestrained life, and the unfettered wind attribute is more in line with my true nature,” Dai Mubai said with a smile.

"It seems I've made you come all this way for nothing, Brother Dai," Chen Feng said with a smile. "Since you've already chosen your path, Brother Dai, I wish you a safe journey. Let's part ways here."

"Don't you need our help? Xiao Wu hasn't found the soul beast she needs yet, has she?" Dai Mubai asked in surprise.

Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiao Wu and said, "The soul beast that Xiao Wu needs is a bit hard to find, and it probably won't be something that can be done in a short time. Xiao Wu, do you need Uncle Chen and the others' help?"

"No need, no need, Boss Dai, you go find your soul beast target. I have Brother Su and Xiao San to help me." Xiao Wu waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I heard from the master that the Moon-Attracting Fox is very hard to find. If you're unlucky, you might not find it for ten days or half a month."

She was going to condense her own soul ring, so the fewer people around her, the better, to avoid being discovered astonished.

If she weren't in the Sand Gold Valley, but in the Star Dou Great Forest, she wouldn't even need anyone by her side.

Xiao Wu was originally trying to come up with a reason to act alone after discovering the Moon Fox without being noticed by the Soul King.

Now that Chen Feng has given her such a great opportunity, Xiao Wu naturally has to seize it.

Hearing her say that, Dai Mubai hesitated.

He's already level 20. Although he can continue meditating without acquiring a spirit ring and the resulting spirit power won't be wasted, he definitely wants to absorb a spirit ring and break through as soon as possible.

Dai Mubai originally thought that the soul beast Xiao Wu needed wouldn't be hard to find, and that it would only take half a day or a day at most. That's why he thought of helping her before leaving, as a way of thanking Chen Feng for helping him break free from his cage and for enlightening Zhu Zhuqing.

But now that he heard it would take ten days to half a month, Dai Mubai suddenly didn't want to linger here any longer.

Xiao Wu noticed his hesitation and immediately added fuel to the fire: "Hey, don't hesitate, Boss Dai, don't you want to get a spirit ring and break through to become a Great Spirit Master? We can do it here, it just takes a little time."

“That’s right, Brother Dai.” Chen Feng also began to persuade, “You really don’t need to waste time here with us. The Moon Fox is a rare and timid soul beast, and it’s not something that can be dealt with in a short time.”

Having said that, Dai Mubai nodded in agreement.

"Then we'll be leaving now. I hope you can find the soul beast that Xiao Wu needs as soon as possible."

"Then I'll take your good wishes, Boss Dai. By the way, have you decided which soul beast you want to choose to obtain your second soul ring?" Chen Feng asked.

"I have some ideas. I plan to choose a soul beast that can enhance my attack power and destructive power. I've tentatively decided on the Gale Tiger," Dai Mubai replied.

“The Gale Tiger won’t work,” the master suddenly said.

"Why?" Dai Mubai asked the master, puzzled.

But the master looked at Chen Feng and said:

"Xiao Feng, you explain it. After all, this is the theory you proposed."

Under Dai Mubai's curious gaze, Chen Feng nodded and said:

"Your White Tiger is a biological martial soul, and the biggest characteristic of biological martial souls is that they have growth potential. So I suggest you first acquire a soul skill that allows you to control the wind, so that your White Tiger can evolve into a wind-attribute martial soul."

"As for the specific choice of soul beast, I recommend the soul beast known as the Wind Demon, the Kamaitachi."

Chapter 24 Xiao Wu, who defies the Heavenly Gang

"Kamaitachi?" Dai Mubai seemed to be hearing this name for the first time.

"What are the characteristics of this kind of spirit beast?"

"Its unique feature is that it is almost a manifestation of the wind element," Chen Feng explained. "This kind of soul beast is born with the ability to control the wind and can use the wind element to increase its speed."

"When it grows to a certain extent, it will be able to attach wind elements to its claws, allowing them to easily tear through enemy defenses and split mountains and rocks."

"The most powerful Kamaitachi can even transform into the wind. At that time, it is the wind and the wind is it. It will no longer be afraid of any physical attacks. Only mental attacks can hurt it."

Dai Mubai's eyes lit up. "This is it! This is exactly what I want. It perfectly meets my requirements. The Wind Demon Weasel, right? I've got it!"

"Xiao Feng's recommendation is good. The Kamaitachi is indeed very suitable as Dai Mubai's first spirit ring after changing his path." The master agreed. "Besides the Kamaitachi, I also have some spirit beasts to recommend. You can consider them when you choose spirit beasts in the future."

Then, he shared his opinion with Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

"No need to thank me. This theory on acquiring spirit rings wasn't proposed by me, but rather by Xiao Feng. I'm just recommending spirit beasts to you based on his theory. He's the one you should thank," the master said calmly.

"The theory of acquiring spirit rings?" Dai Mubai asked curiously, "What is that?"

"Oh, it's a summary of some issues that Soul Masters need to consider when acquiring Soul Rings. I plan to write it into a paper later, and you'll be able to see it in the newspaper then." Chen Feng kept it a secret.

"Oh..." Dai Mubai nodded as if he understood, then thought for a moment and said:

"Why don't you just submit your paper to our Xingluo Weekly? That way I can see it as soon as possible."

"Star Luo Weekly? That's certainly an option," Chen Feng said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

He hadn't actually considered submitting his paper to any particular newspaper, because he was worried that his paper might be shelved for some reason, and then he wouldn't be able to use it to promote the evolution of martial spirits in this world.

Chen Feng wouldn't underestimate people's selfishness, nor would he ignore the reactions of those in power to emerging theories and doctrines; he certainly didn't want to become like Bruno.

However, the earlier one starts the evolution of martial spirit, the better, especially now, which is the critical stage of development for those prodigies in the original work, making it the perfect time to publish papers.

Therefore, Chen Feng's idea was to submit a copy of the paper to both the Martial Soul Weekly and the Heavenly Battle Weekly after it was written, in order to minimize the possibility of the paper being shelved and at the same time earn himself some prestige.

In the current era of Douluo Continent, reputation can still play a certain protective role. Neither the Spirit Hall nor the Heaven Dou Empire would risk offending all the Soul Masters in the world to kill Chen Feng.

As for why Chen Feng didn't consider the Star Luo Empire at first, it's because he had no contact with anyone from the Star Luo Empire before.

Does he really expect him to travel across borders to the Star Luo Empire to submit a paper to a newspaper? Of course not.

But things are different now. After getting to know Dai Mubai and the others, Chen Feng has connections in the Star Luo Empire, which makes things much easier.

"Since you put it that way, Boss Dai, I'll send you a copy of my paper when I'm done, and you can help me publish it in your Star Luo Empire's newspaper," Chen Feng said after thinking for a moment.

Speaking requires skill. Originally, Chen Feng wanted to publish in the Star Luo Weekly but couldn't find a way, but now that he said it this way, it became that he was willing to publish in the Star Luo Weekly because of Dai Mubai.

Put it another way, and it feels completely different.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Feng's words, Dai Mubai patted his chest and said:

"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll handle this perfectly! Anyone who dares to cause trouble, I'll cut their head off..."

"Cough cough!" Chen Yun suddenly coughed twice.

"Well, anyway, I'll definitely get this done for you." Dai Mubai didn't mention those less-than-harmonious methods again, and simply made a promise.

"Then thank you very much, Brother Dai," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"It's nothing." Dai Mubai and Chen Yun turned to leave. "Remember to write to me when you get back! Fill in the Star Luo Empire Imperial Palace as the address!"

"Okay!" Chen Feng replied.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then came to Chen Feng, lowered her head, and remained silent.

“Uh, Miss Zhu, you…”

"Just call me Zhuqing," the black-haired little girl said softly.

"Oh... Zhuqing, is there something you need?" Chenfeng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Um... thank you, I'll remember you." After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing turned and ran away.

Chen Feng was stunned for a long time, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.

"what?"

No, what do you mean? Do you mean what I think it means?

You're only six years old, little girl. Are people in this world so precocious?

Chen Feng was completely bewildered; he didn't know how to react.

After thinking about it for a while without success, he had no choice but to put the matter aside and turn around to help Xiao Wu find the Moon-Guiding Fox.

However, just as he looked at Xiao Wu, she suddenly covered her face, acted coy, and said in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"Just call me Zhu Qing~"

Chen Feng: ...

"Pfft!" Tang San couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The master's expression was also somewhat strange, and Su Yuntao laughed without any attempt to hide his laughter.

Chen Feng, expressionless, summoned the Tai Chi Bagua Sword and said to Xiao Wu:

"Let's duel! Only one of us can live today!"

"Help me, Tang San!" Xiao Wu quickly hid behind Tang San, while still sticking her head out to continue her provocation:

Thank you, I'll remember you~

"You little brat, prepare to die!" Chen Feng shouted and charged towards Xiao Wu.

"Hahaha! You bullied me before, now I've caught you red-handed! Let's see if you dare to mess with me again!" Xiao Wu laughed triumphantly as she circled around Tang San to avoid Chen Feng's pursuit.

Previously, she had been bullied by Chen Feng, unable to gain the upper hand verbally, and had to endure Chen Feng's mockery of her intelligence, which was extremely frustrating.

Now she can finally vent her anger.

With Chen Feng's weakness in her hands, Xiao Wu will have a way to verbally retaliate against him, instead of getting so angry at a few words that she wants to hit him, which would be a very bad move.

Speaking of verbal rebuttal, Xiao Wu immediately recalled Chen Feng's past mockery of her.

She peeked out from behind Tang San, flashing a smile:

"I'm getting anxious, hehe."

Chapter 25 Thinking about the Future

After a fierce battle, Chen Feng and Xiao Wu finally stopped fighting.

With Tang San as a witness, the two shook hands and made peace, and signed a non-aggression pact between Feng and Wu.

The agreement stipulated that Chen Feng must not make any disparaging remarks about Xiao Wu's intelligence, and Xiao Wu must not make fun of Chen Feng about Zhu Zhuqing anymore.

The two must uphold the principles of unity and friendship, help each other, and work together to achieve the great ideal of deepening the research on martial spirits.
