72: Chapter 71 Changes in Martial Soul

"Okay, I will wait for you!"

Nan Qiuqiu's cheeks held a smile, but a moment later, she suddenly sat up straight and asked with a puzzled look: "Brother, what exactly happened just now... why did we have... that kind of reaction?"

"This... it probably has to do with the ten-thousand-year Whale Glue I consumed. Revered Master took me to the Far North to break through my body's limits, and I ingested a large amount of Whale Glue to replenish my energy. Who would have thought that while the energy was replenished, there were still some side effects that had not been fully cleared out."

Lin Feng scratched his cheek, looking a bit awkward.

"Whale Glue, that thing, is it not... for virility? Eating that can also replenish energy?" Nan Qiuqiu's cheeks flushed red, and she said in a low voice.

"To be precise, what I ate was likely unweathered Whale Glue, so the energy was more tyrannical and intense. Perhaps, just as Revered Master said, it needed to be released to alleviate the physical condition..."

Lin Feng was between laughter and tears. He had originally thought his body was special, which was why he had not made a fool of himself in the Far North, but it turned out he could not escape it after all.

"That explains it then." Nan Qiuqiu realized suddenly. Then, as if thinking of something, she blushed and said coquettishly: "When we are together in the future, do you want me to prepare some for you to try?"

Lin Feng's face darkened. What kind of talk is that? What is that supposed to mean?

He reached out and knocked Nan Qiuqiu on the head, annoyed, and said: "What on earth are you thinking about all day? Speaking of which, it has been so long, why has your Cultivation not moved at all?"

Nan Qiuqiu stuck out her tongue, looking extremely cute.

"This Young Miss is... accumulating strength for a burst of potential. Once the accumulation is enough, I will be able to soar into the sky!" Nan Qiuqiu curled the corners of her lips slightly.

In reality, she was just a lazy dog who had not really Cultivated much at all.

Lin Feng did not believe a single word she said. What 'accumulating strength for a burst of potential'? You have not even accumulated anything, how can you have a burst of potential?

"Alright, stop trying to fool me. Since I have returned, I will prepare special training for you from now on. I will train and hone you with even stricter requirements. Be prepared!"

"Ah—"

Nan Qiuqiu widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief. Is this still that cute brother of hers? How could he speak so coldly and ruthlessly?

"No way! Besides, what do I need strength for? Having Brother Lin Feng protect me is enough; I will just be responsible for being beautiful!"

Lin Feng sighed. "Qiuqiu, you cannot rely on me like this. There will come a day when I am not by your side. Strength is the foundation for you to stand on your own feet."

"Your talent is extremely outstanding, no worse than those top Prodigies on the continent. Cultivate properly; it will be of great benefit to your future!"

"But, Cultivating is really boring..." Nan Qiuqiu still looked unwilling.

Lin Feng was exasperated. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind. He leaned over and whispered something into her ear, which made Nan Qiuqiu blush furiously and swallow hard.

"In short, if your strength does not meet the standard, you will not even have the qualification to face me..." Lin Feng revealed a faint smile, his expression carrying a hint of hidden meaning.

"Cultivate! I must work hard to Cultivate!" In an instant, Nan Qiuqiu shuddered, immediately jumped off the bed, ran back to her room, and began meditating to Cultivate.

"Sigh, I did not expect this to actually serve as motivation. I hope Qiuqiu can settle down and Cultivate. Only by improving her strength will she not be overwhelmed by the tides of the era."

Lin Feng sighed softly, silently feeling worried about the future development of the Earth Dragon Gate.

...

After a long while, he finally collected his thoughts and began to examine the changes that had occurred in his second Spirit.

As Lin Feng summoned the Shadow Fiend Demon Scythe, he slowly closed his eyes and began to try to make contact with the Scythe Spirit.

After a round of discipline from Electrolux, the Scythe Spirit was indeed much better behaved and immediately conveyed all the newly unlocked abilities to Lin Feng.

This Shadow Fiend Demon Scythe added two new Spirit characteristics: Spirit Detention and Command, and Dark Fiend Domain!

This Dark Fiend Domain was actually the predecessor of the Dark Domain. Previously, Lin Feng had used it to devour the Soul and blood energy of Spirit Beasts to nourish himself. Now that it had evolved again, it had become an Innate Domain of his Spirit.

As for the second characteristic, Spirit Detention and Command, it allowed him to control people's minds through Soul chains. Those controlled would unconditionally obey him, and he could even obtain their memories through Soul searching.

This discovery could not help but make Lin Feng's eyes light up. Spirit Detention and Command, a very interesting characteristic. It seemed he would need to focus more on developing his second Spirit in the future.

Both of these abilities could play a crucial role in his growth. Perhaps it would not be long before he could manifest their power!

"Your Spirit is quite interesting..."

Just then, a lazy voice suddenly came from Lin Feng's mind, sounding as if someone had just woken up.

His mind felt like it had been blown apart, and he immediately submerged into his Sea of Consciousness. At this moment, above the Sea of Consciousness, a colorful ball of light suddenly appeared and lazily stretched.

Lin Feng looked at the young girl in front of him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch. "Is this the power you left behind, leaving a strand of Divine Sense directly in my Sea of Consciousness?"

The girl smiled lightly and winked at him. "What, are you not welcoming?"

Lin Feng fell into a long silence. "I regret it..."

"What did you say?"

"I said, I regret it. If I had known that the communication method you left behind was actually a strand of Divine Sense, I would never have let you in..." Lin Feng said, annoyed.

"Do you have that ability?"

The girl looked at him with a smile, then scanned the surrounding Sea of Consciousness, a strange look flashing in her eyes:

"Your Sea of Consciousness is actually so powerful. It seems you really have quite a few secrets..."

Lin Feng sighed helplessly. It is easy to invite a god but hard to send one away. His Sea of Consciousness was going to be lively now; if one more person came, they could play mahjong...

Since the Plane Will was here, he happened to have some questions he wanted to ask her.

"How do you plan to deal with Huo Yuhao?" Lin Feng's expression was serious, and he spoke solemnly.

"I will deal with him as I should. In any case, he is just a lure I placed in the open; I will not possibly give him any more Luck empowerment."

Speaking of this, she rolled her eyes at Lin Feng. Immediately after, the scenery within the Sea of Consciousness suddenly changed, turning into a beach. She slowly reclined on a beach chair, saying lazily:

"Instead of benefiting him, it is better to benefit you. At least, you look a bit more handsome than him..."

Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he suddenly asked: "In your eyes, you actually have a definition of beauty and ugliness? It is truly very surprising."

"Originally, I did not. But after meeting you, I do. Your Soul is very pure; it is the type I like."

The girl's voice was clear and cold, and she smiled faintly.

"How is the suppression of Huo Yuhao going? I guess I am not wrong; he should be on his way to the Far North by now, right?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked casually.

He did not have time to spare to deal with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress yet. To be honest, he was still very covetous of the Heavenly Tribulation energy when the two were Undergoing Tribulation; it would be enough to allow his strength to advance rapidly.

"Rest assured, I have already secretly taken action to damage Huo Yuhao's Luck. The best result should be that he only obtains an Ice-attribute Spirit Beast as his second Spirit, which will greatly limit his future development."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. Thinking about it, that seemed acceptable. At least it avoided the Ice Empress, that Heaven-Defying cheat, from attaching to him.

Without Ultimate Ice, he might not even be able to pass the second-year upgrade assessment!
