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

Tang San controlled the Blue Silver Grass to reach towards the direction of the sound, while simultaneously releasing some of the sunlight stored up during the day.

Suddenly, the area around the camp became much brighter, and Xiao Wu's figure emerged from the darkness.

The moment Chen Feng saw her, he was surprised to find that Xiao Wu, like Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing before her, had also triggered the Tai Chi Bagua Sword's response.

This sensation corresponded to the Taiji Yin position, which Chen Feng had been completely baffled by.

When Chen Feng awakened his martial soul, he sensed something from the Tai Chi Bagua Sword, including the information that "the Yang sword governs life, and the Yin sword governs death."

In other words, the Tai Chi Bagua Sword has two special forms, Yang and Yin, which correspond to the abilities related to life and death, respectively.

No matter how much Chen Feng studied it, he still didn't know how these two special forms could appear.

Now, Xiao Wu has activated the Yin position on the Tai Chi Bagua Sword, which means that the key to unlocking the Yin form of the Tai Chi Bagua Sword is likely to be on Xiao Wu herself.

Although the key point has been found, Chen Feng is still not quite clear on the specific method to unlock the special form.

He speculated that it might be similar to the restoration of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), requiring the nourishment of high-quality blood.

Whether this guess is correct or not, we'll have to wait until Xiao Wu's martial soul fully evolves into the Taiyin Jade Rabbit to find out.

The light from the Blue Silver Grass allowed Chen Feng and Tang San to see Xiao Wu, and also allowed Xiao Wu to see the two of them.

She walked closer and asked in confusion:

"What are you doing outside, mistress?"

"I was cultivating for a while, and when I saw you hadn't come back for a long time, I came out to check," Tang San said.

"Oh, I see. Don't worry, I'm fine," Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, you were just going to the toilet, why did it take you so long?" Chen Feng asked knowingly.

"Oh right, I was just about to tell you all! I have to say, I had exceptionally good luck tonight!" Xiao Wu's face lit up with joy as she said:

"I was originally planning to go a bit further away to find a place, but I unexpectedly came across a moonstone. I stayed by that moonstone, thinking that I might be able to find a Moon-Attracting Fox. I never thought I would actually find one! And it was an injured Moon-Attracting Fox!"

"So you took the opportunity to get rid of this Moon-Attracting Fox?" Chen Feng dutifully played the straight man.

"Yes, that Moon Fox's hind leg was injured and it couldn't run fast. It took me a long time to catch up with it and kill it," Xiao Wu nodded and said.

"Your luck is just too good," Tang San exclaimed.

I went out to use the restroom late at night and unexpectedly came across a moonstone. Then I happened to encounter a Moon Fox that was absorbing moonlight, and it was only an injured Moon Fox.

This is such good fortune, it's almost unbelievable!

"Yeah, I think so too. But come to think of it, I seem to have had pretty good luck since I was little," Xiao Wu said, tilting her head.

She's preparing for the future by having the excuse of being born lucky, so that she'll be more likely to encounter similar situations in the future.

"So, does that mean our soul-hunting trip has been a complete success?" Chen Feng said.

"Yes, all three of us obtained the spirit rings we wanted, and all within a single day. That's a perfect achievement. Should we go tell Master and Brother Su about this now?" Tang San asked.

"Let's forget about it, it's so late. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning." Chen Feng yawned and said, "By the way, it's about time. Xiao Wu, it's your turn to keep watch now."

"No problem, I'll definitely keep watch tonight," Xiao Wu promised cheerfully.

"Alright, then show us your first soul skill again tomorrow morning." Chen Feng turned and walked into the tent.

"Then I'm going to sleep too, Xiao Wu," Tang San said.

"Go on, mistress, it'll be dawn soon if you don't go to sleep." Xiao Wu waved her hand.

Tang San entered the tent and found that Chen Feng had already huddled under the covers and closed his eyes.

He stepped forward and gently nudged Chen Feng. Chen Feng opened his eyes and asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? Mistress?"

"Don't you think tonight's events are a bit too coincidental?" Tang San said in a low voice, frowning.

"You mean Xiao Wu?" Chen Feng asked in a low voice as well.

"Hmm, although she said it was a coincidence, I always felt that she went out on purpose to find the Moon-Attracting Fox. But what I don't understand is, why would she go out alone at night? This is not a safe place. What if she encounters a soul beast?" Tang San said thoughtfully.

"Maybe she couldn't wait any longer? Look, we both got our first spirit rings today. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing have figured out their paths, but Xiao Wu didn't get anything. She's probably feeling pretty bad."

"Do you remember how Xiao Wu used to fuss about getting her first spirit ring so she could become a spirit master and receive subsidies? Maybe she got angry because she didn't get anything during the day and then went to bed at night. She also felt it wasn't right to trouble us to go out with her overnight, so she just went to find the Moon Fox by herself." Chen Feng tried his best to make excuses for Xiao Wu.

Tang San pondered for a moment and nodded, "It does seem to make sense."

"Right? And so what if she went out for some other reason? The three of us are friends, and harmony in diversity is the right rule for making friends."

“Even if she does have some secret, we don’t need to dig into it. Who doesn’t have their own secrets? As long as she doesn’t intend to harm us or do anything to harm us, we can still be close companions,” Chen Feng said in a low voice.

Tang San was persuaded, because just as Chen Feng said, who doesn't have their own secrets? As long as they don't harm him or his relatives and friends, everyone can still get along well.

Tang San knew very well that, given Chen Feng's intelligence, over the years they had grown up together, Chen Feng had probably already seen through the secrets he was hiding.

After all, Chen Feng would practice with him every morning, and when he was cultivating the Purple Demon Eye and Ghost Shadow Steps, he didn't really avoid Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng never pursued the matter further, which must be what he meant by "harmony in diversity".

Outside the tent, Xiao Wu twitched her ears and a smile appeared on her face.

Chapter 28 Xiao Wu's First Soul Skill

"What? You went out last night and actually encountered an injured Moon-Attracting Fox?"

Early in the morning, when the master and Su Yuntao learned of Xiaowu's experience the previous night, they both showed surprise. Su Yuntao even asked incredulously.

"Yes, I also think I'm very lucky," Xiao Wu said with a grin.

"What was the first soul skill you obtained from the Moon Fox?" The master wasn't surprised for long; he quickly accepted the fact and then asked the crucial question.

"I call my first soul skill Moon Draw. Its effect is that it allows me to absorb the power of moonlight and attach this power to parts of my body to facilitate my combat, like this."

After saying that, Xiao Wu turned and kicked gracefully to the open space beside her.

The instant she lifted her leg, Chen Feng clearly saw that Xiao Wu's feet were covered with a faint silver glow.

As Xiao Wu kicked out to the side, Chen Feng saw a silver-white blade of light emerge from her foot, leaving a deep mark on the open ground beside her.

"Lan, Lan's foot?" Chen Feng looked at this scene with some surprise.

"How about that? Pretty impressive, right? And it's not just on the feet, you can do it on other parts too." As she spoke, Xiao Wu stretched out her thumb and forefinger, pointing them at a nearby tree as if making a gun shape.

"Biu!" Xiao Wu uttered an onomatopoeic word, and at the same time, a silvery-white light shot out from her fingertips, creating a dent in the tree.

"Truly impressive," Chen Feng exclaimed sincerely.

He recalled that, in both the original novel and the comic book version, Xiao Wu possessed extremely high talent in controlling soul power.

Especially in the comic version, she was able to develop her own original soul skill, the Mi Rabbit Shockwave, with a speed far exceeding that of the other Shrek Six Monsters, under the guidance of the master.

However, regardless of the version, Xiao Wu is quite lazy and not very serious about cultivation, so her strength has never been outstanding.

It wasn't until the end of the Soul Master Competition, when her identity was unexpectedly exposed and she was hunted down by the Spirit Hall, taken away by Tang Hao, and separated from Tang San, that she finally realized the importance of strength and began to cultivate diligently for a period of time.

But by then it was too late. While waiting to reunite with Tang San, Xiao Wu also encountered the Spirit Hall's hunting party, and in the end, she had no choice but to sacrifice herself.

Chen Feng clearly wouldn't allow this timeline to happen.

Firstly, his Yin Sword form still needs to be unlocked by Xiao Wu, and secondly, the transformation of a soul beast into a human is an extremely rare, or rather, a unique experimental sample in the Douluo Continent era.

Thirdly, he found the girl quite interesting and had already considered her a friend, so naturally he wouldn't watch her walk down a dead end.

The previous playful bickering was just joking between friends; people who aren't close wouldn't act like that.

Therefore, both logically and emotionally, Chen Feng has to find a way to destroy this timeline.

That's right, he is the Sorcerer Supreme!

As for how to destroy this timeline, or more accurately, how to motivate Xiao Wu to stop being so lazy, Chen Feng already had a preliminary idea in mind.

He felt that the great cause of "Reincarnation and Heavenly Life Technique" was a perfect incentive for Xiao Wu.

Moreover, this pie isn't just a pie; there's a very high chance that Xiao Wu will actually get to eat it. How could Xiao Wu not be willing to go to great lengths for it?

In this way, Chen Feng will be able to happily gain "one more like-minded person".

The Xingluo Dai family were just fish in his pond, used to deal with those unruly old men.

Rather than joining other factions, Chen Feng would much rather build his own if possible. What's the comfort of being in charge when you're living under someone else's roof? He had a whole bunch of wacky ideas in his head.

As Chen Feng planned for the future, he watched Xiao Wu continue to demonstrate the effects of her soul skills.

Yes, her presentation wasn't over yet.

"Besides being able to shoot out moonlight to hit people, I can also keep it on my body, which can provide some protection for my body parts." Xiao Wu covered her hands with a layer of bright moonlight.

She looked at Chen Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, summon your Tai Chi Bagua Sword."

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and summoned his martial spirit as instructed.

Then, Xiao Wu did something that shocked everyone: she reached out and grabbed at the Tai Chi Bagua sword with her bare hands.

"Watch out!" The master and Su Yuntao tried to stop them, but they were too far away to do so in time.

Although Tang San and Chen Feng were close by, they didn't think of stopping them because they had noticed something.

As expected, Xiao Wu grabbed Chen Feng's sword with her bare hands and even deflected the blade.

When she released the Tai Chi Bagua sword, everyone saw that her hand, covered in a bright white light, was completely unharmed.

This is... the Mysterious Jade Hand? Tang San looked at this scene with some surprise, but he quickly realized that he was wrong.

The Jade Hand makes the palm itself tough and can even block some toxins, but Xiao Wu's technique is to cover her hands with moonlight energy to protect them.

The principles behind these two are different, much like the difference between an invincible shield and wearing armor.

"Hmph, Xiao Feng, your sword can't hurt me," Xiao Wu said smugly.

"Is that so?" Seeing that Xiao Wu was getting a little cocky, Chen Feng decided to make her face reality. "You're only not injured right now because you're holding onto my sword without any force. If I were to actually swing the sword, are you sure your thin layer of protection would be effective?"

He didn't believe that Xiao Wu could have the ability to withstand the slashes of cold weapons after absorbing only a few hours of moonlight; it was probably just a bluff.

As expected, after Chen Feng ruthlessly exposed her, Xiao Wu's smug expression immediately became unnatural.

Chen Feng guessed correctly; Xiao Wu did indeed want to take the opportunity to bluff him, but she didn't expect to be seen through so quickly.

Xiao Wu stomped her foot angrily, "Anyway, I'm never calling you Brother Feng again."

She, the dignified Little Dance Sister, has dominated the Star Dou Great Forest for so many years. Da Ming and Er Ming are all her little brothers. If people knew that she called others "brother" in human society, would she still be able to get along with them in the future?

She, Xiao Wu, is also a person who cares about her reputation.

So that's what it was about. Chen Feng chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, from now on we'll call each other by our own names. I'll call you Xiao Wu, and you'll call me Xiao Feng. Is that alright?"

Anyway, even if his age from both lifetimes is added together, it's still less than a fraction of this rabbit spirit's age. It's not really appropriate to force the old rabbit to call him Brother Feng. There's really no need to be too concerned about how he addresses people.

But Xiao Wu was a bit too eager to push her luck. She said with a grin, "Then can you call me Sister Xiao Wu? I promise I'll protect you from now on."

"Heh, get lost." Chen Feng rolled his eyes. What kind of pipe dream was he having?

Chapter 29 Soul Power Test

"Hmph! Fine, I don't care if you don't want to call me that." Xiao Wu was clearly unhappy that her request had been rejected.

She deliberately turned her head away from Chen Feng, giving him a "I'm ignoring you" look.

Chen Feng glanced at her, as if deep in thought, "Speaking of which, I also have some thoughts on your choice of spirit rings."

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Wu's attention was immediately drawn to it.

But Chen Feng sighed, "Sigh, because no one calls me Brother Feng anymore, my memory has suddenly weakened, and I can't remember it for a moment."

"You, you're taking advantage of someone in distress!" Xiao Wu said angrily.

"Really?" Chen Feng looked puzzled and asked Tang San, "Little San, did I take advantage of someone in distress?"

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu, suppressing a laugh, "Xiao Wu has just obtained her first spirit ring. We'll have to consider the second spirit ring when she reaches level 20. Strictly speaking, it's not taking advantage of her vulnerability."

"Look, even the mistress says I didn't take advantage of her in her vulnerable state," Chen Feng said to Xiao Wu with a bear-like shrug and an innocent look on his face.

"You... Hmph! Anyway, I'm not even level 20 yet, I won't let you coerce me." Xiao Wu said angrily.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about it when we get back. Our Soul Hunting trip has come to a successful end. This isn't a good place anyway, so let's go back as soon as possible," Su Yuntao said, trying to smooth things over.

Then he sighed, "Come to think of it, I don't think I was of any help at all this time with the Soul Hunt."

At first, Chen Yun was her bodyguard, but after he left, Xiao Wu dealt with her own soul beast on her own. Su Yuntao was just there to make up the numbers.
