I collect fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 36 Wood and Fire Fusion

Warm and comfortable—that was Lu Feng's first impression.

Completely different from the feeling when absorbing the first spirit ring, the moment the energy from the spirit ring entered his body, Lu Feng felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, his entire body enveloped in a warm aura.

Every 36,000 pores on my body opened up, greedily breathing in the wonderful air.

The meridians thrive under the influence of this energy, the bones are tempered, and the muscles throughout the body become stronger.

Lu Feng could even clearly feel that his body was growing taller!

In recent years, because he has been in contact with Soul Masters, the quantity and quality of the fragments Lu Feng has collected have improved significantly.

Thanks to the attribute points he picked up, even though Lu Feng didn't train himself regularly, his physical strength was much greater than that of an average Soul Master.

Lu Feng felt that, in terms of physical fitness, he was on par with Su Yuntao, a great soul master.

For Lu Feng, the Flame Pig's spirit ring was no longer a life-or-death test, but a benevolent blessing.

Even though the lifespan of this spirit ring exceeds the theoretical limit.

Lu Feng slowly opened his eyes. Only half an hour had passed since he began absorbing the soul ring.

"Absorbing a spirit ring feels like cheating! No wonder people on Douluo Continent mature so early!"

"When Dai Mubai was fifteen, he spent every day in Soto City chasing girls and being a groom every night. Ma Hongjun probably started frequenting brothels when he was eight or nine years old in order to suppress his lustful desires."

Lu Feng shook his head, banishing these sordid thoughts from his mind.

Although I'm not exactly a saint myself, I started learning this in the third grade of elementary school... um.

Lu Feng looked at his body. After absorbing the spirit ring, he had grown to about 1.6 meters tall, with broad shoulders and strong muscles.

It's hard to believe that anyone would guess that he's still an eight-year-old child.

After cleaning up the 'crime' scene, Lu Feng found a secluded spot and began to meditate.

However, Lu Feng stopped after only one cycle of cultivation.

"Why does it feel a little different from usual, but then again, it doesn't seem that different?"

Lu Feng frowned, calmed his mind, and tried to circulate his soul power several more times.

This time, he finally noticed a change. The spiritual energy circulated one more cycle than usual as it passed through his liver and heart.

"What's going on? Could there be a problem with the technique?"

Lu Feng dared not cultivate any further and calmed down to think silently.

Both the meridians and internal organs are very fragile, and the number of times they can be tempered each day is limited. Therefore, Soul Masters cannot cultivate continuously for all twelve hours of the day.

The practice of Xuan Tian Gong involves absorbing spiritual energy through acupoints on the body's surface, which then flows through the meridians, nourishes the five internal organs, and finally converges into the dantian.

The order in which spiritual energy nourishes the body is from the surface of the body, through the meridians, through the five internal organs, and finally accumulates in the dantian.

Hence the saying: "Externally train muscles, bones, and skin; internally train one's breath."

"In the Five Elements, the liver belongs to wood, which governs the free flow of qi and the storage of blood; the heart belongs to fire, which governs blood vessels and consciousness."

"According to the general outline of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, absorbing wood and fire attribute soul rings can indeed strengthen the liver and heart."

"But."

Lu Feng frowned. Although his body had become stronger after absorbing his first spirit ring, his liver had not changed in any other way.

"With only one wood attribute, there's no cycle; a single tree can't support a forest?"

Lu Feng recalled the general outline of the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" in his mind, lost in thought.

"After absorbing the Flame Boar's soul ring, the wood and fire attributes can be mutually reinforcing. Wood is warm, and fire lies dormant within it, achieving harmony among the five elements, with wood and fire blending together."

"If all five elements are gathered, spiritual energy will circulate naturally among the five internal organs. Wouldn't that make my cultivation speed much faster than that of an ordinary Soul Master?"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared in Lu Feng's eyes.

The five elements generating each other should indeed be so.

What a magnificent "Mysterious Heaven Skill" and "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record"! They truly deserve to be the supreme mental cultivation method of Taoism!

Thank you again to my brothers for their selfless dedication.

"call!"

Lu Feng held the stick in his right hand, spun the tip of the stick half a circle, and thrust it forward.

[Black Iron Rod] Second Soul Skill: Assault.

The attack range of the Black Iron Rod is increased by half, it deals double damage to enemies, and ignores 20% of their defense.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a thick tree trunk was smashed into several pieces of varying sizes.

The stick, as a weapon, requires not only powerful swinging but also skill. Similar to a gun, it allows one to concentrate their strength at a single point and deliver a fatal blow.

"This black iron rod martial soul seems to have room for improvement. Make its first soul skill harder, and its second soul skill longer; it'll definitely hurt a lot when it stabs someone!"

With a thought, Lu Feng put away his iron rod.

Then, a flash of white light appeared, and a pair of brass knuckles appeared in Lu Feng's hands.

As his soul power surged, Lu Feng felt a raging fire ignite within his body. Beneath his skin, a scorching red light appeared, like fiery serpents writhing within his body.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

A plume of steam emanated from his nostrils, mouth, and ears, making him look like a train poised to burst forth with the slightest force.

The next moment, Lu Feng moved.

He was incredibly fast, his body creating a fierce gust of wind that knocked down the blue silver grass by the roadside.

A burst of fire covered his fist as Lu Feng swung his right fist and smashed it towards a large rock that was more than three people tall.

A deep fist-shaped mark was punched into the surface of the stone, and spiderweb-like cracks gradually spread out.

"Bang." Lu Feng uttered a single word softly.

"Snap!"

The next second, a cracking sound came from inside the stone.

First, a small piece of stone fell off, then a large piece broke off and fell away. Finally, the stone, which was as big as half a room, shattered into several pieces and rolled in all directions.

"Crack." A tree as thick as a calf was crushed by a rock and snapped in two.

[Tiger Finger] Second Soul Skill: Fire Fist!

When activated, it increases the Soul Master's speed and attack power by 40%. Three seconds later, the fire-attribute energy injected into the enemy will erupt, dealing massive damage.

Lu Feng looked at his work and nodded in satisfaction.

A rapid swing unleashes a torrent of energy, resulting in an explosive burst.

Most importantly, this move is impossible to defend against!

Even if a Soul Master can withstand their own punch, they cannot stop the intrusion of energy unless the opponent uses a Soul Skill such as an energy shield beforehand.

"Come out, Luo Wupao!"

Lu Feng's soul power surged, and a small yellow dog appeared in front of him.

"Luo Luo!"

Luo Wupao swaggered over to Lu Feng's feet, its two little ears drooping, its big eyes blinking, and it affectionately rubbed its big head against Lu Feng's trouser leg.

"Five Cannons, let me see your strength!" Lu Feng petted the puppy for a while, then gave the order.

"Hey!" Luo Wupao said seriously, staring intently at the large bear in front of him.

The bear was over four meters tall, with a thick, muscular body. Its entire body was covered in black fur, with a white stripe on each shoulder, resembling two suspenders. Its paws, when spread out, looked just large enough to hold a basketball.

Black bear, 600 years old!

"Luo Wupao, it's you I've chosen!"

"His farts are like thunder, deafening and earth-shattering, Luo Wupao!"
