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

"No, this spirit ring is different from ours. Xiao Feng hasn't fully succeeded yet." Tang San's eyes flashed with purple light, and he could clearly see every detail on Chen Feng's spirit ring.

"Is it different?" Ma Hongjun glanced at Chen Feng's spirit rings. "I don't see anything wrong with it."

Tang San walked to Chen Feng's side and released his own spirit ring, "Take another look."

Zhao Wuji compared the differences between the two people's purple spirit rings and said somewhat uncertainly:

"It seems... Chen Feng's is a bit more ethereal?"

Tang San nodded and said, "That's right. Moreover, Xiao Feng only has a thousand-year spirit ring, which means that the process of condensing the spirit ring is not yet complete, so not all the spirit rings appeared at the same time."

"What do we do now? Should we interrupt them? Absorbing a soul ring beyond the required age can cause problems." Zhao Wuji was somewhat undecided.

"If we interrupt him, Xiao Feng will either die or be seriously injured. Let's wait a bit longer." As he spoke, Tang San summoned Blue Silver Grass to wrap around Chen Feng.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Wuji asked in surprise.

Tang San explained:

"Actually, Xiao Feng's purpose in this experiment was only to explore the principles of Soul Master advancement, and it did not involve Soul Rings, so he did not make any relevant preparations."

"However, he had previously made a guess about the nature of spirit rings, believing that in addition to the spirit power of spirit beasts, spirit rings should also contain the life energy and soul energy of spirit beasts."

"I think the reason why Xiao Feng's spirit rings are like that is because they lack these energies. I can't help with soul energy, but I can provide life energy."

Chapter 108 A Disruptive Reality

Tang San couldn't interfere with Chen Feng's process of condensing his soul ring, but he could offer some help within his power.

Back then, Chen Feng led him down the path of strengthening his life force, and now Tang San hopes that this life force can help Chen Feng.

Even if Chen Feng cannot successfully condense a soul ring, at least the Blue Silver Grass's healing will make him feel better.

Xiao Wu had calmed down by now and thought for a moment before saying:

"Even if the Flying Thunder Rat becomes stronger, the increase can't be too great. So even if its lifespan exceeds Xiao Feng's tolerance, it shouldn't exceed it by too much. I believe Xiao Feng can hold on."

Zhao Wuji scratched his buzz cut in frustration. "Tonight has been a really bad night."

Chen Feng was completely unaware of the conversation; he was preoccupied with dealing with the troubles within his body.

He quickly felt the healing effect of the Blue Silver Grass. He knew that Tang San was trying to help him, so he immediately channeled the life energy that had seeped into his body into his new soul ring.

As for the soul power that the Flying Thunder Rat had kindly but unintentionally sent over, Chen Feng had no good solution.

The Flying Thunder Rat's act of withdrawing some of its soul power alleviated his pain, but the remaining soul power was still raging within his body.

He wanted to bring it under his control but couldn't, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Chen Feng's will was not actually that firm. In his previous life, he lived in a peaceful country and had basically not experienced any suffering.

He was adopted by Old Jack and never suffered any hardship in terms of food and clothing. His willpower is probably only slightly stronger than Ning Rongrong's, let alone Tang San's.

So he was almost defeated by the pain many times.

However, the success of his previous experiments gave him hope and the motivation to persevere.

It's like asking a gambler who's hit three aces at the table to leave and go home for dinner—that's absolutely impossible.

So even though he was in so much pain he was almost crying, he still forced himself to endure it because he had already paid the sunk cost and would never give up easily.

Fortunately, while he was enduring the pain, Flying Thunder Rat was also trying its best to recover its soul power. Although it was a drop in the ocean, it still played a little role.

If Chen Feng is like a camel nearing its limit, then Tang San and the Flying Thunder Rat's actions are like ensuring that the last straw never falls on him.

So after enduring a long period of suffering, Chen Feng finally managed to pull through.

But the people around saw that Chen Feng's clothes on his back suddenly bulged, as if something was growing out of it.

"What's going on now?" Zhao Wuji frowned, tore open Chen Feng's clothes without saying a word, and immediately widened his eyes.

"My God, Brother Feng has grown wings!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed.

As he said, two pairs of fleshy wings grew from Chen Feng's back, somewhat similar to the small wings on the back of the Flying Thunder Rat, but instead of being golden yellow, they were blue-black, just like the color of the Thunder Essence Stone after it was charged.

Moreover, these fleshy wings are relatively small compared to the dust blades, and look more like decorations than wings that can make people fly.

"What's going on? Teacher Zhao, how come Xiaofeng has grown wings that look so much like a flying rat?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Zhao Wuji shook his head. “Perhaps his spirit rings have mutated.”

"Tang San, have you done similar experiments before? Has this happened before?" Ning Rongrong asked Tang San.

"No, all the previous experiments failed. Tonight is the first time we've succeeded... I guess you could call it a success?" Tang San said somewhat uncertainly.

"Won't these wings be harmful to him?" Ning Rongrong asked, her eyes filled with worry.

"Probably not." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "Xiao Feng doesn't seem to be in as much pain as before, so his condition should be improving. However, whether his wings can be retracted is still a question."

“If we can’t take it back, how will Brother Feng face people in the future?” Ma Hongjun said.

“I don’t care what he becomes,” Ning Rongrong said firmly.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement, "Actually, I think it's even cuter with wings."

Time passed second by second, and it wasn't until dawn that Chen Feng's condition gradually stabilized, and the purple soul ring on his body began to solidify.

Tang San was the first to notice this. He kept his Purple Demon Eyes on so he could react quickly if his friend was in danger.

Tang San was the first to notice the change when Chen Feng's spirit rings became more solid.

"Xiao Feng should be waking up soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Tai Chi Bagua Sword appeared beside Chen Feng, and the purple soul ring on his body turned into a purple light, which was injected into the Zhen trigram position on the Tai Chi Bagua Sword.

The next moment, the Zhen trigram lit up with a silvery-white light.

This means that Chen Feng has successfully obtained his third soul ring and entered the Soul Master realm.

When Chen Feng opened his eyes, he saw a crowd of people looking at him with concern, with Tang San and Zhao Wuji standing beside him.

"Thank you, Xiao San, you've been a great help to me," Chen Feng said to Tang San.

"Why are we thanking each other?" Tang San said, pointing to the Blue Silver Grass on Chen Feng's body.

"It seems your previous speculation was correct; the formation of a spirit ring does indeed require life energy."

Chen Feng looked down and saw that the Blue Silver Grass on his body had become withered and dry, as if its life force had been drained.

He raised an eyebrow. "But my speculation isn't entirely correct. At least soul energy isn't necessary for a spirit ring, and the life energy required for a spirit ring shouldn't be much either. It probably just acts as a kind of adhesive; otherwise, it wouldn't have just caused these few Blue Silver Grasses to wither."

"That's true." Tang San nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Feng, are you alright? The Flying Thunder Rat's sudden advancement caused you to cough up blood, which really scared us," Ning Rongrong asked with concern.

"So it was because of the promotion? No wonder this happened... Don't worry, I'm fine now," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"I knew you could do it, Xiao Feng," Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile.

"Congratulations on your advancement to Soul Master, Chen Feng, you have made history." Zhao Wuji was the first to applaud.

Others followed closely behind, and applause rose and fell throughout the woods.

Chen Feng was also very happy at this moment, but he quickly sensed that something was wrong and touched his back.

"This is......"

"These suddenly grew out of your body just now, and they look a bit like the wings of the Flying Thunder Rat. We don't know what's going on," Zhao Wuji said.

"It looks somewhat like the wings of the Flying Thunder Rat?" Chen Feng subconsciously thought of a possibility.

External Soul Bone! An external soul bone like the Eight Spider Lances!

But then a deep sense of disbelief washed over him.

Chen Feng knew that the soul was not a necessary component of a soul ring or soul bone; for example, the soul of the Blue Silver Emperor was not in his soul ring or soul bone.

But he never expected that he would be able to obtain a soul bone from a living soul beast, and it was the most precious external soul bone.

As everyone knows, no matter what kind of soul bone it is, it only appears after a soul beast dies. This is common knowledge for both humans and soul beasts.

Today, Chen Feng not only successfully obtained a spirit ring while the Flying Thunder Rat was alive, but also obtained an external spirit bone, which is simply a revolutionary achievement.

Chen Feng looked at the still-alive Flying Thunder Rat on his back with curiosity, and for a moment he was unsure how to react.

He had no clue about this external soul bone for the time being, so he could only try to retract the small wings on his back.

He didn't mention the external soul bone either. Firstly, it was a very important matter, so it was better not to talk about it for the time being. Secondly, he was afraid that it would shatter everyone's worldview.

Even Chen Feng, who is usually quick-witted, was somewhat bewildered by the soul bone obtained from the living soul beast. It was even more difficult to say how the natives of Douluo Continent would react.

Tang San might be the only one whose reaction is less severe, but everyone else's values ​​will definitely be shaken to some extent. Chen Feng cannot let this happen.

Even if something is going to collapse, it should collapse gradually.

Following the method Tang San used to retrieve the Eight Spider Lances in the original story, Chen Feng retracted the small wings on his back and then said:

"I'm not entirely sure what's going on with these wings either. I'll take a look when I get back."

He looked at the Flying Rat opposite him and said calmly:

“You just said that I made history, but that’s not quite accurate. This history was created by me and it together, and it also has a part in this achievement.”

He spoke from the heart; if this story were to be passed down to future generations, it would certainly be included in textbooks.

If future generations begin to emphasize cultural education, then students might still see various questions related to this momentous event on their exam papers.

For example, "In which year did the Biological Pioneer first successfully condense a Soul Ring?"

Or something like, "What was the first spirit beast to help a biological pioneer condense a spirit ring?"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Xiao Wu in the crowd revealed a genuine smile.

Chen Feng didn't take full credit for today's events, but also mentioned the Flying Thunder Rat's contribution, which shows that he respects soul beasts and that he didn't misjudge them.

The Flying Thunder Rat looked at Chen Feng with some confusion, unable to understand the human's words.

Chen Feng didn't mind and continued to speak with a smile:

"Although you may not understand what I mean or the significance of what we are doing today, I still want to thank you for cooperating with me in this experiment."

He reached out his hand to the Flying Thunder Rat, which hesitated for a moment before tentatively extending its paw into Chen Feng's hand.

The sight of a man and a mouse clasping hands signifies the arrival of this historic moment.

After shaking hands in a daze, the Flying Thunder Rat looked at the Thunder Stone next to it, which had turned black, and sighed somewhat humanely.

Seeing this, Chen Feng took out a bag, filled it with the empty Thunder Stones, and placed it in front of the Flying Thunder Rat.

He then took out a piece of paper that he had prepared beforehand, covered with drawings, and pointed to the drawings, explaining:

"Look, these Thunderstones can be recharged multiple times. Just place them in a high place during thunderstorms so they can come into contact with lightning. But be careful not to let yourself or your kind get struck by lightning."

This piece of paper was a manual he had prepared specifically for the use of Thunder Elemental Stones by the Soul Beasts, and now it came in handy.

The Star Dou Great Forest covers a vast area and includes various terrains, including high mountains. Finding a place to recharge the Thunder Essence Stone shouldn't be too difficult.

Even if there are no high mountains near the habitat of the Lightning Rat clan, it doesn't matter. Chen Feng will come to the Star Dou Great Forest again in the future. When that time comes, he can ask the Ape God to take him to find the Flying Thunder Rats and give them Thunder Stones again.

The Flying Thunder Rat clearly understood the instructions for using the Thunder Stone. It immediately barked happily, hugged the bag on the ground to its chest, waved goodbye to Chen Feng, and then disappeared into the forest.

After watching it leave, Chen Feng turned to the crowd and said:

"This experiment was actually more than successful. Once I get back and summarize it, I should be able to come up with a procedure for condensing spirit rings, and everyone can try it out."

Ma Hongjun glanced at the others, chuckled, and said:

"Looks like I'll be the first to try it. It seems like it'll be quite interesting."

"Fatty, what level are you?" Dai Mubai asked.

"Level 28, I just advanced to that level a few days ago. Among the Great Soul Masters present, I currently have the highest level," Ma Hongjun said proudly.

"Tch, what's so great about him? Zhu Qing is also level 28, and he's been promoted for a while now." Xiao Wu couldn't stand the fat guy's arrogance and retorted.

Ma Hongjun waved his hand and said:

"That's because I didn't cultivate diligently before. I have the Phoenix Martial Soul, and the Fire Cloud Rock to assist me. I will definitely advance to Soul Venerable first."

"How about we have a competition?" Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyebrows, unconvinced.

"Let's have a competition. The loser has to eat a pound of Oscar's stinky tofu," Ma Hongjun said with a wicked grin.

But before he could finish speaking, Oscar grabbed his neck.

Oscar's sinister voice rang in Ma Hongjun's ear, "Fatty, do you still want to fly in the future?"
