Chen Feng was very worried that he would suffer from qi deviation, so he could only test the waters little by little, and would withdraw his soul power as soon as he sensed something was wrong.
Even so, he still managed to let his soul power flow into the wrong meridians several times.
"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spurted from Chen Feng's mouth. He wiped the blood away expressionlessly and began his probing process once again.
Previously, Chen Feng wanted to completely replicate the Flying Thunder Rat's soul power circulation route within his own body, which was an extremely difficult task, and the risk of going into qi deviation was very high.
The reason he repeatedly misdirected his meridians, to the point of vomiting blood, was this.
This time, Chen Feng changed his approach. He no longer pursued replicating the Flying Thunder Rat's soul power path, but instead focused on generating a weak electric current within his body.
This is much easier, and Chen Feng can take a shortcut, which is to use his external soul bone, Vengeful Wrath.
When the Fury of Vengeance is withdrawn, it transforms into two strange energies that adhere to Chen Feng's shoulder blades, centered on his spine.
Chen Feng planned to let his soul power flow through that area, using the energy of the Wrath of Vengeance to achieve his goal.
This way, even if he doesn't reveal his external soul bone in the future, he will still be able to make partial use of it.
As the second most sought-after soul master, external soul bones are second only to 100,000-year soul rings in value to soul masters, so Chen Feng naturally wouldn't easily take them out to use.
Time passed by, and Tang San pushed open the door and walked in. He had already had a long talk with his father and knew the whole story of what happened back then.
To Tang San's utter surprise, the truth of what happened back then was almost exactly what Chen Feng had guessed.
When he told his father, Tang Hao, about this, Tang Hao remained silent for a long time before finally saying to Tang San:
"Xiao San, you must listen to Xiao Feng's advice more often in the future. You are lucky to have such a friend."
Tang San naturally agreed with his father's words. Having spent so many years with Chen Feng, he had a deep appreciation for his childhood friend's wisdom.
Therefore, Tang San listened to everything Chen Feng said to him when he was serious.
At the end of the conversation, Tang Hao did not instill any hatred in Tang San as Chen Feng had worried. He simply told his son to cultivate diligently and try to help the Blue Silver Emperor recover as soon as possible.
Yes, strictly speaking, the Blue Silver Emperor did not die completely, so she does not need to be truly resurrected; she only needs to restore enough vitality.
The reason Tang Hao wanted Chen Feng to research resurrection abilities was because he didn't want to reveal the situation of the Blue Silver Emperor.
He knew that for this exceptionally talented young man, even the slightest flaw would be enough for him to guess the truth.
Of course, even if Tang Hao hadn't revealed his weakness back then, Chen Feng would still have guessed the truth by now, leaving Tang Hao speechless.
Fortunately, Chen Feng did not show any greed or malice. He not only kept Tang San's secret, but also helped Xiao Wu hide her identity and aura. Moreover, he hid for many years without ever revealing any information. This made Tang Hao know that Chen Feng had no greed for the 100,000-year soul bone.
After a long talk with his father, Tang San's doubts were dispelled, and he also clarified his future goals, which made him feel very good.
But when he returned to the dormitory and saw the blood spilling from Chen Feng's mouth, his heart sank.
Without hesitation, Tang San summoned Blue Silver Grass and wrapped it around Chen Feng's arm. He frowned as he looked at Chen Feng, not quite understanding what Chen Feng was doing.
Why would someone vomit blood when they were cultivating normally?
After a long while, Chen Feng opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"It's finally done, albeit barely."
Unable to fully replicate the Swift Thunder Soul Skill within his body, he had to resort to a clever trick, which ultimately led to his success.
Chen Feng's body is now filled with a weak electric current, which constantly stimulates his cells and slowly improves his physical fitness.
"Xiao Feng, hiss..." Tang San was about to pat Chen Feng on the shoulder and ask him what he was doing when he got an electric shock.
"Huh? Xiao San, you're back?" Chen Feng only then noticed that there was someone else beside him.
"I've been back for a while." Tang San looked Chen Feng up and down. "Why do you have electricity on you?"
Chen Feng gave a brief explanation, and Tang San was immediately surprised, asking:
"Isn't this just creating your own soul skill?"
“No, strictly speaking, this is just a derivative soul skill,” Chen Feng said.
Chapter 130 Backflash and Liu Erlong's Attempt
"What is a derivative soul skill?" Tang San asked in confusion.
"As the name suggests, it's a soul skill derived from the soul skills in the soul ring. You should be familiar with this," Chen Feng explained.
“Not unfamiliar…” Tang San thought for a moment, “You mean the shimmering seed of my Blue Silver Grass?”
“That’s right, Flash Seed is a standard derivative soul skill.” Chen Feng nodded. “Actually, I originally wanted to create my own soul skill, but that was too difficult, so I had to settle for a shortcut.”
Judging from his failure this time, his initial success with Tai Chi can be attributed to a combination of luck and hard work.
He was fortunate to enter a state of enlightenment that is rare and hard to come by. Coupled with years of practice in both light and heavy swords, he finally accumulated enough knowledge and skills to create Tai Chi Kung Fu.
Of course, the Xuan Tian Gong, as a foundation, is also indispensable. If Chen Feng were to start from scratch to complete a skill, he would definitely be at a loss.
"Speaking of which, how did your chat with Uncle Hao go?" Chen Feng asked.
"Dad told me what happened back then, Xiaofeng, you guessed right." Tang San didn't continue, but Chen Feng already understood what he meant.
"Then you should cultivate diligently and strive to achieve your dream as soon as possible," Chen Feng said.
Tang San nodded, and the two ended the conversation there.
If others overheard their conversation, they would likely be completely confused and unable to understand what they were talking about.
This is precisely why Chen Feng wanted to be a riddle teller.
The topic of a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforming into a human is quite sensitive, and it's best not to discuss it anywhere; this is a necessary precaution.
Even though they are in a small village now, and even though there are only the two of them in the dormitory, they still have to be wary of the possibility of being overheard.
Back then, the Blue Silver Emperor had already broken through to the Soul Saint realm, and his aura was no different from that of a human. However, his identity was still leaked in the end. It is very likely that Tang Hao was not careful with his words when he was with the Blue Silver Emperor, which led to the tragedy.
Therefore, Chen Feng paid close attention to this matter. He only discussed the topic of a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforming into a human when he was in the Star Dou Great Forest with the Ape God guarding him.
He rarely talks about these things when he's out in public, and even if he does, he does it in a cryptic and ambiguous way, making sure not to give any clues.
Having been through various spy thrillers, he's not a problem being a riddle solver.
Influenced by him, Tang San also became quite cautious in his speech. Although he was not as good at riddles as Chen Feng, the two could still communicate without any problems.
"By the way, speaking of Flash Seeds, I've thought of a way to use them in team battles these past couple of days so that teammates won't be too affected," Chen Feng said suddenly, as if remembering something.
"Oh? What method?" Tang San immediately became interested.
"Backstab." Chen Feng uttered two words.
"Backflash?" Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled. "Does that mean after throwing out the flash seed, everyone should turn their backs? That probably won't work, will it?"
“Of course that won’t work.” Chen Feng was somewhat amused and exasperated. “What I meant was that you should throw the Flash Seed behind you, or more precisely, above and behind all your teammates.”
Tang San understood, "In this way, the Flash Seed can flash to the people on the other side, but our side will not be affected too much, and we can take the opportunity to launch an attack."
Chen Feng nodded. "That's right, that's exactly it. You happen to be in the command and control position in the team, and your position is relatively far back, which is very suitable for using the backflash technique in battle."
"That sounds pretty good. I'll try it out when Xiao Wu and I have a two-on-two Soul Battle. If it works well, we'll use it in team battles." Tang San thought Chen Feng's idea was pretty good; at least it seemed plausible in theory.
However, the actual effect can only be determined after practical application.
……
The next morning, while it was still barely light,...
Chen Feng and Tang San then went to the rooftop to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye.
After they finished absorbing the purple energy, they suddenly heard voices from below.
"Good morning, Miss Meng Yiran." It was Oscar's voice.
"Actually, you can just call me Yiran. That's what my family and friends call me," Meng Yiran's smiling voice came from behind.
“Well… let’s go explore Soto City.” Oscar sounded visibly shy.
As the two walked out of the village, Chen Feng and Tang San exchanged a glance and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
"Little Ao was quite decisive in his actions," Chen Feng commented.
“Indeed, but I talked to Meng Yiran about drug production before, and Oscar seemed a little unhappy about it,” Tang San said.
"The main problem is that he can't get a word in edgewise. You two are chatting away so enthusiastically, but he can only watch from the sidelines. Naturally, he won't feel good about it." Chen Feng could understand the thoughts of teenage boys.
"Then I'd better keep my distance from Meng Yiran from now on," Tang San sighed.
“No need for that. Since Meng Yiran is interested in making poison, you don’t need to deliberately ignore her. That would easily damage the relationship between classmates. If she feels ostracized and runs home, that would be troublesome,” Chen Feng said, shaking his head.
He was still eager to figure out the secrets of the serpent staff, so naturally he couldn't let Meng Yiran leave over such a trivial matter.
"But Xiao Ao will definitely feel uncomfortable if this happens." Tang San was somewhat conflicted.
He naturally wanted someone to discuss poisons with, even if Meng Yiran was just a beginner, she was still a kindred spirit.
However, this would definitely cause Oscar to misunderstand, so Tang San was in a dilemma.
Chen Feng smiled and said:
“The reason Oscar is uncomfortable is because he can’t join your conversation. You just need to bring him in too.”
"You mean I should also explain to Xiao Ao how to make poison?" Tang San asked.
"That works too, but don't you think there's a better way?"
Tang San didn't quite understand what Chen Feng meant, so Chen Feng had to remind him:
"Xiao Ao's second soul skill can detoxify. After you make poison, don't you need to test its effects? If Xiao Ao helps, wouldn't it be more convenient to test the effects?"
"Oh right, how could I forget that?" Tang San suddenly realized, "Xiao Ao's antidote garlic can help with poison experiments."
This is, after all, another world. The experience of making poison in my previous life may not be able to be completely transferred here. Therefore, after making poison, there will inevitably be a process of testing its effects.
If you have sweet garlic to help with detoxification at this time, it will be very convenient.
"However, you should also be careful. Xiao Ao's sweet garlic is ultimately only a second soul skill, and it's impossible for it to cure all the poisons in the world, so don't go too far," Chen Feng reminded them again.
Tang San nodded and said, "Don't worry about that. Although Meng Yiran's herbs are a bit better than what you can find on the market, it's still impossible for her to make a rare poison. So even if I wanted to go all out, I couldn't."
"Okay, that's fine then." Chen Feng was genuinely worried that the two of them might get carried away with the drugs and wanted to try them himself to experience the feeling.
If Oscar's sweet garlic doesn't work at this point, then things will get really messed up.
……
After filling his stomach at the cafeteria, Chen Feng went to the dean's office to find Flander, wanting to talk to the dean about the topic of soul power liquefaction.
After knocking twice, Flander's voice came from inside.
"Please come in."
Chen Feng pushed open the door and went inside, where he saw the Golden Iron Triangle all there.
"Xiao Feng, is there anything I can help you with?" the master asked.
Liu Erlong glanced at Chen Feng, already recognizing him as the renowned biological pioneer, and was secretly amazed by his age.
"My lords, I have a question I'd like to ask you," Chen Feng said as he entered the office.
"What's the problem?" Flander pointed to the chair next to him, gesturing for Chen Feng to sit down.
After Chen Feng sat down, he asked:
"I would like to ask the Dean and Aunt Erlong, in what state does the soul power within your bodies manifest?"
"Status? What does that mean?" Flander was a little confused.
"So you mean your soul power is gaseous?" Chen Feng asked, having clarified a bit more.
“Yes, soul power is of course gaseous, what’s wrong with that?” Liu Erlong gave an unsurprising answer.
Flanders nodded, clearly agreeing with Liu Erlong.
"Two commanders, have you considered making your soul power more condensed?" Chen Feng asked.
"More condensed?" Flander's expression became more serious. "Tell me your thoughts."
He never treated Chen Feng as an ordinary child. Seeing Chen Feng's serious expression, Flander knew that this genius scholar had something on his mind again.
As expected, Chen Feng revealed his idea about the liquefaction of soul power.
“Soul power liquefaction…” Flander and the other two began to ponder.
"That's right. My idea is to compress soul power to make it more condensed. Water vapor in the air condenses into water, and I guess soul power may also undergo this change."
“However, because my current cultivation level is not high enough and my control over my soul power is insufficient, I need to ask my two masters for help,” Chen Feng said.
