Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 95 Setting Off to Hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger

He explained the situation of the Body Sect to Hu Zi's parents, and also to put their minds at ease so they could entrust Hu Zi to him.

"Let's go, Tiger! There will be plenty of time to come back later. Even bringing your parents to Heaven Dou City won't be a problem once you're strong enough!"

Li Fei patted the reluctant Tiger on the shoulder, smiled and said something, then led the two children on their way to other villages.

Perhaps because he obtained Tiger, Li Fei's luck improved. After traveling to all the villages around the Barak Kingdom, he actually found two more children with their own martial souls, namely arms and wings, and their soul power was only level one.

However, Li Fei didn't mind and brought them all back to the Body Sect. When he returned to the sect, he discovered that Qian Renxue had also found three more Body Martial Soul owners through her own channels. With six Body Martial Soul owners in total, Li Fei's Body Sect could be considered truly established.

"Oscar, take this! Afterwards, I'll take you to Sunset Forest to hunt the soul beasts we need!"

Li Fei took out a piece of whale glue from his storage bracelet and handed it to Oscar. This piece of whale glue was one of the few pieces that Dugu Bo obtained after going to Hanhai City. One of the oldest pieces was absorbed by Dugu Yan, and this piece was nearly ten thousand years old, so it was considered a fine piece. It should be enough to make Oscar's soul power reach six hundred years in the first year.

Oscar found a spirit beast of suitable age with a strong recovery ability in the Sunset Forest and asked it to hunt it. Unexpectedly, the spirit power obtained was the same as the first spirit skill in the original work, but the effect was even better.

As for Hu Zi, Li Fei believes that he doesn't need whale glue at all. With his innate soul power at level five, he has enough time to cultivate the theory of absorbing super-limit soul rings, and his future soul rings will be no worse than Oscar's.

After Oscar obtained the spirit ring, Li Fei's life returned to peace, and not much happened. He spent his days teaching disciples, cultivating, and researching spirit tools. Occasionally, he would visit the East Palace to accompany Qian Renxue and deepen their bond. It could be said that the two of them had done almost everything they needed to do, except for the final step.

Li Fei thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful life, and his heart was at peace like never before. He began to calmly reflect on his strength, repeatedly starting his cultivation from scratch to improve the areas where his previous cultivation was lacking.

The six-month-long period of recovery allowed Li Fei to gain new insights into Ming Jin, An Jin, and Hua Jin. His body was also much purer than before, and his skin was still as white as jade, but it was as elastic as rubber when pinched.

The hidden energy completely permeates the entire body, even the groin and buttocks are fully connected, enabling the unleashing of hidden energy. The next step is to embrace the elixir.

However, the realm of "Baodan" is not simple in the conventional sense. It is simple because its cultivation method involves concentrating the body's Qi and blood into a single point in the Dantian. The more extreme the concentration, the stronger the power unleashed during combat.

The difficulty lies in achieving this level of mastery. This step sounds simple, but it is difficult to do and is also accompanied by danger. In his previous life, many people died at this level of martial arts, so Li Fei cannot afford to be careless.

Most importantly, Li Fei did not intend to condense it into a Qi and Blood Soul Ring, but chose to cultivate it himself. The Embracing the Core and the Gang Force are, to a certain extent, the skills of Transformation Force, and have not transcended the scope of Transformation Force.

Another issue is the insufficient quality of his Qi and blood. Although his Qi and blood have been tempered through the three energies of Ming, An, and Hua, he has never had a method for cultivating his marrow.

He needs to prepare to break through his current realm again, but the first thing he needs to do is to condense his fourth Qi and Blood Soul Ring.

When condensing the soul skill of his fourth bloodline soul ring, Li Fei did not choose the "Undying God" realm because he had a feeling that his mental strength was not enough and that he might fail to condense it, resulting in a hybrid soul skill that would lead him down the wrong path.

After careful consideration, Li Fei chose the "Muscles and Bones Resonate, Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound" skill, which is both a combat technique and a soul skill for tempering bone marrow and strengthening blood production.

This will also be very helpful for me to break through to the Dantian stage.

Li Fei could achieve the "muscles and bones resonating together" technique, but he couldn't do the "Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound" technique. Even with his entire body filled with internal energy, Li Fei couldn't do it. He had tried observing tiger-type soul beasts to see if he could learn it, but he found that the soul beasts in this world were more focused on soul power and seemed to lack this ability from birth.

The condensation of the Qi and Blood Soul Ring went very smoothly. After activating the Soul Power, a muffled thunder-like sound would be emitted from the body. The Qi and Blood throughout the body, the bones, internal organs, fascia and other organs would vibrate at a special frequency. During combat, the explosive power would be increased by more than three times. When not fighting, the enhancement of the body would also be obvious. Moreover, the Qi and Blood could also drive the Soul Power to penetrate the bones and integrate into the bone marrow, enhancing the hematopoietic function.

With the help of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, Li Fei's training efficiency became even stronger, and his blood began to thicken and turn bright red.

Another year passed, and Li Fei's soul power reached level sixty, successfully achieving the Core Formation stage. Not only his blood and qi, but also his soul power, were also at the same level.

"With the foundation of Core Formation, I am absolutely confident that I can successfully condense a Soul Core when I reach the Soul Saint level."

Slowly opening his eyes, Li Fei murmured with a smile on his lips.

He got out of bed, pushed open the door, and looked at Tiger, Oscar, and the others laughing and playing in the yard, and smiled with satisfaction.

In front of the sect, Qian Renxue reverted to her original identity, wearing the Ruyi Treasure Armor given to her by Li Fei, which transformed into a yellow long dress. Combined with her golden hair, she appeared dignified and sacred.

"Sister Xue, you've arrived!"

After Qian Renxue entered, Oscar, Hu Zi, and the others ran over excitedly and jumped into Qian Renxue's arms, acting coquettishly.

"Xiao Ao, Hu Zi, Nong Zhi, are you all doing well?!" Qian Renxue patted the children and asked with a smile. After speaking, she took out a lot of snacks from her storage ring and distributed them to the children.

"Thank you, Sister Xue!"

Oscar and the others thanked him, grabbed their snacks, and scattered to enjoy their food in the distance.

"You! Every time you come, you bring them delicious food, and now they've become picky eaters. They don't even enjoy the food made with ingredients transformed from their martial souls!" Li Fei said with a hint of reproach, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"I'd love to!" Qian Renxue rolled her eyes, then her expression turned serious. "When are we leaving?!"

"Tomorrow! Spend the day with me today, and we'll set off tomorrow!" Li Fei thought for a moment and said, "Have you made all the arrangements?! Don't let your identity be exposed so soon after we set off!"

"Don't worry! I've already arranged everything; it won't arouse suspicion!"

"That's good!"

Li Fei nodded, stepped forward, grabbed Qian Renxue's hand, and ran towards the back mountain of the sect. Before they even arrived, Li Fei started to touch her, which made Qian Renxue roll her eyes and glare at him angrily.

Behind the Body Sect's mountain stands a sizable villa, Li Fei's private territory. No one can enter without his permission.

After entering the villa, Li Fei held Qian Renxue in his arms and whispered, "Xue'er, are you confident about condensing your soul core next?!"

After Qian Renxue broke through to level 60, Li Fei began to work on the condensation of the soul cores of the two of them at the Soul Saint level. For this purpose, he even sought out the elders and enshrined members of the Spirit Hall to learn from them the process and method of soul core condensation when breaking through to the Title Douluo level.

It's still the first era of Douluo Continent. There's no systematic way to condense soul cores, and it's difficult to control. Most Title Douluo break through by instinct, and most of them are of low quality or even completely unsuitable for themselves.

Instead of consciously condensing the most suitable soul core for oneself, like in the era of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, such as the Poison Undying of the Body Sect who condensed a highly poisonous soul core, it was precisely because of this soul core that the hidden danger of poisoning was solved and the combat power was greatly increased.

With the help of the elders and the deities who provided the soul core condensation process, Li Fei and Qian Renxue also created their own soul core condensation method, but they didn't know if it would be successful.

Qian Renxue's soul power has now reached level 68. At her cultivation speed, it will take her at most half a year to reach level 70 and condense her soul core. She needs to prepare in advance.

"No!" Qian Renxue shook her head and said in a deep voice, "Although you said that a Soul Saint can condense their first Soul Core, I've tried many times and used many different methods, but I still feel like I'm far from it. Even after breaking through to Soul Saint and narrowing the gap, it still feels a bit lacking!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fei stopped what he was doing and frowned. He didn't share Qian Renxue's feeling, especially after successfully forming his core. He even felt that he could have succeeded before reaching level seventy. What was the difference between them? So he asked, "Xue'er, what do you think is the reason?!"

"There shouldn't be much difference in terms of physique. After all, I've been using the soul power tempering method you created to train my body, and now I'm no worse than an ordinary titled Douluo. I think it's the degree of soul power refinement. I've encountered many Soul Douluos who couldn't break through to level 89, and their soul power purity was much stronger than mine!" Qian Renxue pondered for a moment and expressed her guess.

So that's how it is. After being reminded, Li Fei instantly understood the problem. The problem wasn't with soul power, but with mental power. All manifestations of soul power are closely related to the physical body and the mind, with mental power being particularly important because it controls the condensation of soul power. It was precisely because of insufficient mental power that Qian Renxue's soul power condensation was not high enough.

Huo Yuhao was able to successfully condense his first spirit-attribute soul core at the Soul Saint level precisely because his mental strength was abnormally powerful.

He quickly sensed it and found that, just as he had thought, Qian Renxue's spiritual power was only one stage stronger than her cultivation level, merely at the level of a Soul Saint, far from reaching the level of condensing a Soul Core. He had actually forgotten the most important factor in condensing a Soul Core.

This is understandable, as his mental strength reached the level of a Title Douluo after successfully forming the Golden Core. In addition, his mental strength, the purity and control of his soul power had long been up to standard, so he overlooked this most important factor.

"Xue'er, it's probably because your mental strength isn't up to par. Before reaching level 70, you can't stop improving your mental strength. You need to raise it to the level of a Soul Douluo. Then, for your seventh soul ring, you should choose a Holy Griffin with both divine and mental attributes. The combination of the two should allow your mental strength to break through to the level of a Title Douluo. After that, condensing a soul core shouldn't be a problem," Li Fei said seriously.

"Improving mental strength! It's so boring!" Qian Renxue complained slightly, but that was all she complained about. Her pursuit of strength was no less than Li Fei's.

Improving mental strength is the most tedious part of cultivation, far more painful than improving soul power and physical fitness. Most people would rather endure inhuman torture to train their body and soul power than sit there and tediously improve their mental strength.

"Alright, I'll cultivate with you from now on, okay?" Li Fei comforted her softly, and his hands began to explore Qian Renxue's body again.

He also taught Qian Renxue the cultivation method of the Purple Demon Eye, which has the effect of improving mental strength.

……

The next day, early in the morning, Li Fei gave instructions to Shen Chenyan and Dugu Bo, and then took Qian Renxue to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Following behind were two elders, Serpent Spear and Porcupine. Li Fei's target this time was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest. He wanted to choose it as his sixth soul ring.

Not only that, Li Fei also wanted its inner core, to see if he could devour it to increase his own strength.

This is also why Li Fei called Qian Renxue over. With the presence of the Angel Domain of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's innate domain cannot be used. According to Li Fei's estimation, its combat power will decrease by at least 30%.

The group's cultivation levels were all quite high, and their speed was even faster than the sports car in their previous lives. They quickly arrived within the range of the Star Dou Great Ginseng Forest.

Once inside the forest, the group suppressed their powers and began searching for traces of the Dark Demon God Tiger.

As a soul beast that cultivates by devouring, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is a creature feared by all beasts in the forest. Finding it is not too difficult; just go to where it is quiet and still, and it is likely to be there.

Through his senses, Li Fei quickly located places filled with deathly silence, where the life force and soul power of both plants and soul beasts had been completely devoured, trees were withered, and the ground was littered with the bones of soul beasts.

A very thick gray fog still filled the air, making Li Fei and the others feel a chill.

"Is this the power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?! It's terrifying!" Crushing a massive, withered bone, She Long stared in disbelief at the surroundings. Could a soul beast really cause such destruction?!

"Be careful, everyone. The Dark Demon God Tiger is just as intelligent as a human. Watch out for its sneak attacks!" Li Fei warned.

Within the range of his Soul Perception Skill, Li Fei could not sense any Soul Power, but he felt a strange palpitation. It was this palpitation that made him realize that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was in this forest.

This is an instinctive feeling that Li Fei had when he reached the Transformation Realm. Although it was triggered very rarely, he had great faith in this feeling and accurately predicted the presence of danger every time.
