Chapter 3 Dark Blue Silver Grass
Chapter 3 Dark Blue Silver Grass
Lin Feng strode over to Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and the other two.
Since he hadn't received his Shrek uniform yet, he had to take out the token given to him by Ma Xiaotao to prove his identity.
The young woman smiled gently and said, "Hello, young man. My name is Tang Ya, this is Bei Bei, and this is Huo Yuhao. What's your name?"
"Hello, my name is Lin Feng."
Lin Feng looked at Tang Ya, who appeared to be sixteen years old, with a long black ponytail and a still very youthful face. It was hard to imagine that she was the current sect leader of the Tang Clan.
"Brother Xiaofeng, it's fate that we've met. How about joining our Tang Clan? It might be a bit small, just the three of us, but we still have a lot of powerful martial arts techniques."
Tang Ya asked with shining eyes, looking very confident after just taking Huo Yuhao under her wing.
"It's not impossible."
Lin Feng readily agreed, not because he was interested in those worthless martial arts techniques and hidden weapons.
The main reason is that when entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, having the identity of a Tang Sect member will prevent you from being attacked by the powerful soul beasts inside, and you can also get a lot of free opportunities.
After Tang Ya introduced the Tang Clan and its members, the initiation ceremony began, which was quick and simple.
When Lin Feng heard that Huo Yuhao's martial soul was of the mental attribute, he thought that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's target was precisely a mental attribute soul master, and he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had gotten there first and seized this great opportunity.
"Let's go, Xiaoya, let's go find the Mandala Snake. Xiaoyuhao and Xiaofeng, you two come along too, you can observe the Tang Clan's martial arts later."
Beibei spoke up, explaining the upcoming itinerary.
It turns out that Tang Ya had already cultivated to level 30 and urgently needed a third soul ring to advance to the Soul Master level.
These ever-flowing blue silver grass and the unyielding mandrake snake have truly made no progress in ten thousand years...
Lin Feng thought to himself, but he still sincerely admired Tang Ya.
Without the Blue Silver Emperor as its parents, Blue Silver Grass is almost impossible to generate soul power, and even if it does, its level is very low.
Tang Ya was able to cultivate to this level using ordinary Blue Silver Grass; how much blood and tears must she have shed behind the scenes?
After searching all the way, Lin Feng finally discovered a thousand-year-old Datura snake by relying on his excellent mental detection ability.
Lin Feng gently reminded her, "A two-thousand-year-old Mandragora Serpent is very old. It would be very dangerous for you to absorb it, Sister Xiaoya."
Tang Ya narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "What our ancestors could do, I, Tang Ya, can also do."
Beibei quickly advised, "Xiaoya, don't be rash. I understand your strong desire to revive the Tang Clan, but that's not your responsibility alone."
Tang Ya said, "My mind is made up. Xiao Feng, Bei Bei and I will lead the attack, and you and Xiao Yuhao will provide support."
"Alright then, let's begin!" Beibei ordered, immediately getting up.
Two yellow and one purple spirit rings appeared on his body, a very standard spirit ring configuration. Blue-purple electric currents coursed through his body, his right arm swelled up and became covered with dragon scales, completing the initial dragon transformation.
Tang Ya, standing to the side, revealed two yellow spirit rings, both of which were of good quality, with blue vines wrapping around Lin Feng and Huo Yuhao behind her.
The mandala snake, not far away, sensed their presence and hissed, a warning sound.
The war is about to start.
The Thunder Dragon Claw tore through the air. Beibei used Ghost Shadow Stalking, her figure as fast as lightning, rushing to the side of the Mandala Serpent, and slamming out her right claw wrapped in dazzling lightning.
However, the next moment, his expression changed drastically—that attack, brimming with soul power, failed to even break through the Mandala Serpent's defense.
"Be careful, this Mandragora Snake has mutated! Its defense is extremely strong!" Bei Bei shouted sharply, then activated her soul skill, and a thunderous roar fell in response.
But just as the electric grid enveloped him, the datura snake suddenly twisted its body, its fangs bared, and bit his un-dragonified left arm.
"Ah—my arm!" Beibei cried out in pain.
"Beibei!" Tang Ya hurriedly pulled away the long vine when she saw this. With a flick of her wrist, the green vine wrapped around Beibei's waist like a snake and pulled him back.
The Mandala Serpent was not about to sit idly by and wait to die; it turned and attacked Tang Ya, whose cultivation was slightly weaker.
At this critical moment, a figure swept in like a meteor.
Lin Feng strode forward like thunder, unleashing an aura of intertwined ice and fire from his body. Then, his fists flew like dragons, the first punch striking the snake's vital spot, the second shattering its venomous fangs, and the third piercing its lower abdomen.
Each strike carried the force of a collapsing mountain; wherever the fist landed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the mandala snake was pierced through.
Such a ferocious fighting style left Huo Yuhao, who was watching from the sidelines, horrified; he couldn't even get a chance to assist.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei were also stunned, staring at the brutal figure, momentarily speechless.
"Sister Xiaoya, hurry up and finish it off!" With Lin Feng's urgent shout, Tang Ya suddenly came back to her senses, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.
With a flick of her finger, a thick vine, like a sharp sword, pierced through the snake's wound and went straight to its head.
As the battle ended, the purple spirit ring slowly rose.
Tang Ya disregarded the spirit ring and rushed towards Bei Bei.
After confirming that Beibei was alright, they turned back to ask Lin Feng about his condition, and Lin Feng said that he was fine.
Tang Ya was finally able to relax, and a feeling of indescribable surprise and admiration arose within her.
He was almost the same age as Huo Yuhao, and his combat performance was even stronger than that of Bei Bei, a three-ring Soul Master.
"Sister Xiaoya, you go absorb the spirit ring. I'll take care of Senior Brother Bei's poison injury; I'm good at that."
Lin Feng spoke gently as he approached, bending down to carefully examine the blackened wound on Bei Bei's left arm.
"Thank you... I'll leave Beibei in your care then."
Tang Ya nodded, then sat down cross-legged and began to guide the soul ring of the thousand-year-old Mandala Serpent.
Seventeen hundred years is the absorption limit for most Soul Masters' third Soul Ring, but this Soul Ring is over two thousand years old.
Soon, Tang Ya's face gradually turned pale, her lips were bitten until they bled, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and her body began to tremble slightly.
"It's still too much of a stretch."
Lin Feng sighed softly, quickly moved behind Tang Ya, gently placed his palm on her back, and slowly infused her with a gentle yet vibrant life force.
Feeling the flow of life force, Tang Ya's tense expression eased slightly, but she quickly fell into an even deeper struggle.
"No... Mom and Dad!"
She seemed to have fallen into an endless nightmare, with the blue silver grass around her surging wildly and uncontrollably, and wisps of black mist spreading out, then tightly binding the two of them in an airtight vine cage.
"The Iron Blood Sect? I'll remember that."
Through the mental connection, Lin Feng read the painful memories buried deep in her heart: the Tang Clan's foundation was seized by the Iron Blood Sect, and Tang Ya's parents died in battle defending the sect.
"Don't leave me..."
Tang Ya murmured unconsciously, clinging tightly to Lin Feng beside her as if grasping at a lifeline.
"I've always been here."
Lin Feng responded softly, not struggling, but continuing to channel soothing soul power. Gradually, her disordered breathing calmed down, and the black energy on the Blue Silver Grass quietly dissipated.
Phew...did it work?
With the complete fusion of the soul ring energy, Tang Ya's life force surged, and when she opened her eyes, they shone brightly, and her entire aura was refreshed.
Having crossed the threshold of level 30, from now on she is a true Soul Master, a true Soul Master powerhouse.
The vine cage receded like the tide, and Tang Ya looked up to meet Lin Feng's gaze, which was inches away from hers. She was still in his arms, and a blush rose to her cheeks.
"Congratulations, Sister Xiaoya, on successfully advancing to the Soul Master level," Lin Feng said with a smile.
He knew very well that Tang Ya's uncontrollable dark power had only subsided temporarily and would erupt again at any time.
Tang Ya didn't get up immediately. Instead, she reached out and gently wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering in his ear, "Thank you, Xiao Feng."
The way he called out "Xiaofeng" was so natural, carrying an indescribable sense of intimacy.
Seeing the two embracing, Bei Bei blushed and immediately coughed lightly, saying, "Now that the soul rings have been absorbed, we shouldn't stay here any longer. We should get going."
"Okay, let's go." Tang Ya reluctantly let go of Lin Feng and stood up. Three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, slowly appeared under her feet.
