70. Absorbing Third Soul Ring

Wang Feng stared sharply at the Voidroot Serpent, which lay weakened before him. The tip of his dagger glowed softly under the sunlight, but the sharp aura from the weapon felt piercing.

With one quick and decisive motion, he thrust the dagger into the creature's vital point. The Voidroot Serpent let out a low roar, its body trembling violently before finally falling silent.

A ring emerged from its lifeless body. The ring was a deep black and caused the space around it to tremble.

Wang Feng gazed at the floating soul ring with fiery eyes. He sat down in a cross-legged position, took a deep breath, and then slowly allowed the ring to descend and merge with him.

As the soul ring began to enter his body, Wang Feng's expression immediately changed. His whole body tensed up. A violet and silver glow wrapped around him, creating a whirlwind of energy that was wild and uncontrollable.

"Arghh...!" Wang Feng groaned, blood starting to seep from the corner of his lips.

Xuan Zi took a step forward, worried, but Mu En raised his hand, stopping him.

"Don't interfere with him," Mu En said calmly. "If Wang Feng has chosen to absorb this soul ring, he must have something that makes him confident he'll succeed."

Xuan Zi frowned but eventually stepped back.

Meanwhile, within the vortex of energy surrounding Wang Feng, his body continued to tremble. The pain felt as though it was tearing at his very nerves, but he endured.

"I... must... succeed...!"

In the sea of his soul, the Voidroot Serpent appeared. But before it could strike, it was immediately suppressed by the Martial Soul, Kaisar Shenlong.

The Voidroot Serpent's soul, initially unwilling and filled with resentment, immediately became tame and allowed its soul ring to be absorbed by Wang Feng.

In the real world, Wang Feng initially felt the pain caused by the violent energy emanating from the soul ring. But when the Voidroot Serpent submitted, the pain lessened, and the violent energy became softer and easier to absorb.

Wang Feng did not miss the opportunity, channeling the energy into the Meteor Tears in his heart and converting it into dense, pure soul power before allowing it to flow into his body.

After successfully absorbing the soul ring, Wang Feng's soul power, which had been stagnant at level 30, finally began to increase.

Level 31... Level 32... Level 33... Level 34.

After reaching level 34, there was still some residual soul power in his body. Wang Feng absorbed it once more and his soul power finally stopped at the peak of level 34. He would need only a few hours of meditation to advance to level 35.

After a while, the whirlpool of energy around Wang Feng slowly dissipated. The air grew calm again, but the scent of the newly awakened power spread in all directions. Wang Feng slowly opened his eyes. A faint violet-silver gleam still shimmered in his irises before eventually disappearing entirely.

Mu En nodded slightly. "He succeeded."

Wang Feng stood up. His breath was still a little heavy, but his body looked sturdier, and his aura was more solid than before.

He raised his hand, and Ethereal Lotus appeared above his palm.

Wang Feng gazed at the Ethereal Lotus in his hand with a sharp expression. Blue lightning crackled between its petals, while the Yin-Yang symbol slowly spun at the center of the flower, emanating a perfect aura of balance.

But what stood out the most was the layer of violet-silver energy now enveloping the entire surface of the lotus – the true manifestation of the Voidroot Serpent's power that he had just absorbed.

Three soul rings also appeared beneath Wang Feng. The colors of the soul rings were purple, black with white patterns, and black with purple patterns.

Mu En stared at the three soul rings slowly floating around Wang Feng and then smiled faintly. "Three rings, each surpassing its limits. You're impressive, Wang Feng."

Curious, Xuan Zi asked, "What abilities are generated from these soul rings?"

"I'll try them." Wang Feng closed his eyes and attempted to activate his newly acquired soul abilities.

Wang Feng's third soul ring shone brighter, and in an instant, a gentle yet powerful wave of energy radiated from his body in all directions. There were no explosions, no dazzling flashes of light. But the air seemed to tremble, as if the world was holding its breath to listen.

The wave spread out for tens of kilometers with Wang Feng at its center.

In Wang Feng's mind, an image of the situation within the radius of tens of kilometers appeared. Wang Feng could sense the changes happening within that area.

"This..." Wang Feng slowly opened his eyes. "This ability allows me to sense the spatial field within a large radius, as if the whole world is part of my body."

"What's the range of this ability?" Mu En asked.

Wang Feng carefully sensed again. "Maybe up to 34 kilometers. It seems that this ability adjusts according to the level of my soul power."

"Moreover, there's another ability..." he murmured, his eyes gleaming with newfound knowledge.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand toward a rock that was tens of meters away from them.

The rock exploded into dust without warning.

Xuan Zi jumped back in surprise. "How did you-"

"Space," Wang Feng explained as he rotated his wrist, causing the dust particles around them to freeze in the air. "I can sense everything within a 34-kilometer radius. Additionally, within a 34-meter radius, I can slightly manipulate the structure of space in that area."

Mu En and Xuan Zi were silent for a moment, digesting what Wang Feng had just shown them. The ability to manipulate the structure of space within such a large radius was not a common skill, even among high-level martial soul masters.

"So, you can control the matter within that radius?" Xuan Zi asked, her voice filled with shock, her eyes shining with awe and curiosity.

Wang Feng nodded. "Yes. But I still need to master it more thoroughly. Right now, I can only alter small parts of the space within that radius, and only with materials that aren't too large or dense."

He released his hand from the dust that had frozen in midair, and with a small motion, the particles began to move again at normal speed. "However, if I can master this completely, I might be able to manipulate larger objects, even more complex structures."

"But, this ability also has its drawbacks. Although I can sense everything within a 34-kilometer radius, I can't see its physical form. I can only sense whether something is within that radius and the intensity of its energy."

"Additionally, my ability to control space won't allow me to directly defeat high-level soul masters. I can only control them for a short period. This ability also consumes a lot of mental energy."

Mu En nodded in understanding. "Of course, no ability is perfect. But with the strength you have now, you've surpassed many other martial soul masters."

Xuan Zi appeared mesmerized. "This power is incredible. If you can master it completely, no one will be able to match your abilities."

Wang Feng looked at both of them with a serious expression. "That's my main goal. To fully master this ability, I must keep training and refining myself. I know this isn't an easy journey, but I can't stop now."

Mu En smiled wisely. "That's the right spirit. With determination like that, you'll grow even stronger. As for the resources, you don't need to worry; the Shrek Academy will provide them for you."
