“No, it’s too dangerous!
This Red Tincture Python is highly poisonous.
If you get bitten and don’t receive immediate treatment, you could die!”
However, the next second, Ling Feng decisively refused.
He couldn’t let such a promising talent be lost before even entering the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School just because he failed to protect him.
He would be devastated if that happened.
He would also feel guilty!
Before Huang Wei could say anything, the Red Tincture Python charged straight toward them.
“Watch out!”
Huang Wei’s expression changed.
He hurriedly summoned his Martial Soul, the Bronze Spear, and threw it directly at the Red Tincture Python’s head.
Bang!
The force was immense.
Enhanced by the millennial Soul skills, the Bronze Spear was clearly many times more powerful than it had been just moments ago without the Soul skills.
“Hiss, hiss.”
The Red Tincture Python let out a miserable shriek, instantly becoming enraged.
Seeing this, Ling Feng wanted to move, but Huang Wei stepped forward first, taking his position.
“You kid!
Be careful!”
Ling Feng’s face flushed with anger, but since he couldn’t stop him, he could only defend the surrounding area in case other Soul Beasts attacked.
‘First Soul skills, Flame Burst!’
Huang Wei’s aura surged, and the light purple millennial Soul Ring attached itself to the Bronze Spear.
It caused the Bronze Spear to grow a size larger.
A powerful flame spread from the spearhead, eventually setting the entire spear ablaze.
Huang Wei’s eyes emitted a fiery aura, and his strength increased instantly.
He thrust the spear straight at the Red Tincture Python!
The fierce attack power and formidable explosive force erupted at that very moment!
With a loud boom, the Red Tincture Python let out a shriek and was sent flying dozens of meters away, snapping several trees.
Its skin was broken, and flames were scorching its body.
However, Huang Wei did not kill it, choosing to spare its life instead.
“Roar!”
But just then, a sonic boom came from the side.
Huang Wei’s pupils instantly constricted.
“Xiao Wei, watch out!” Ling Feng turned his head, his expression extremely anxious.
He didn’t know when this attacking Soul Beast had appeared, leaping into the air.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
‘Golden Skin!’
Instantly, his body was covered in a layer of golden elements.
Bang!
“Ugh.”
The next moment, he was sent flying by the sneak attack.
Fortunately, he had used the Bronze Spear at the last moment to block some of the damage.
Thud!
Huang Wei crashed through a tree.
He stabbed the Bronze Spear into the ground, carving a long crack before stabilizing his body.
His defense had now been elevated to a very high level.
He immediately checked his body.
Fortunately, he hadn’t sustained any injuries, though he had felt some pain for a split second.
However, at that moment, a very strange sensation surged within his body.
He felt the Nine-Fold Body Forging Art working inside his body.
The pain dissipated rapidly, feeding back into his flesh.
‘This Body Forging Art is truly magical.
I’ve really struck gold this time!’ Huang Wei thought, feeling incredibly excited.
The Golden Skin skill hadn’t been broken.
On the contrary, the opponent’s attack had slightly increased his physical strength.
He looked up and saw a black afterimage vanish into the air.
What kind of Soul Beast was that afterimage?
However, it didn’t leave but was moving frantically, merging into the darkness around them.
“Xiao Wei, are you alright?” Ling Feng, having missed his attack, immediately rushed to Huang Wei and saw his Golden Skin, looking astonished.
“This is… Why is your skin golden?”
Hearing this, Huang Wei said, “I don’t know.
This is one of the abilities brought by the Soul Ring I just absorbed.”
Naturally, he couldn’t tell Ling Feng about the Nine-Fold Body Forging Art; it was one of his secrets.
He paused and continued, “However, I’m fine.
This Golden Skin ability instantly increased my overall defense by eighty percent.
My physical strength has now reached a very special level!”
Hearing this, Ling Feng gasped, “What a magical auxiliary ability!
Such a skill is truly unparalleled!
And it increases it by a full eighty percent!”
It was only the beginning; once his physical strength improved further, that eighty percent would become terrifying!
By the middle or later stages, this would be displayed to its fullest potential!
“How long can this state be maintained?” Ling Feng asked.
Based on my current stamina, if I just maintain this state without fighting or blocking damage, I can keep it up for about twenty-five minutes.
But if I include combat and blocking damage, the stamina consumption increases drastically, so I should only be able to maintain it for about four to five minutes.
Of course, the greater the stamina consumption, the shorter the duration.”
“That’s enough!
Good, good.
Your stamina will improve in the future!”
“Enough talk, let’s resolve the current situation first!”
Ling Feng was incredibly happy; the surprises Huang Wei had given him today were simply too many!
“Teacher, what exactly was that that attacked me just now?
And it’s still lurking around,” Huang Wei said, scanning the surroundings.
It was clear that a black afterimage would occasionally dart out and then vanish, hiding in the darkness of the night.
The two looked over, and the Red Tincture Python had disappeared at some point.
“If I’m not mistaken, the one that attacked you just now must be a Ghost Demon, and it’s likely reached the two-thousand-year level.
This type of Soul Beast is extremely rare.
It seems it came out to save that Red Tincture Python from earlier.”
Ling Feng had already unleashed his Martial Soul and Soul Ring, intending to use them to deter the Ghost Demon that was still darting around.
Seeing that the Red Tincture Python had successfully escaped, the Ghost Demon didn’t linger; after all, it didn’t want to engage in a meaningless fight.
The next second, the afterimages around them vanished and did not appear again.
“Let’s go quickly!”
“Don’t linger here.
Once we reach the outer area, we’ll be safe!”
Ling Feng took Huang Wei’s hand and ran rapidly toward the outer area, using the only Soul skills he possessed that could increase movement speed.
On the way, a pack of centennial wolves emerged, wanting to hunt them, but they were broken through by a single Soul skills from Ling Feng.
Some of the lower-level wolves died instantly.
This was enough to deter the pack.
Seeing that their opponents were so powerful, they chose to leave.
Soon, Ling Feng brought Huang Wei back to the outer area, which was still some distance from the entrance.
But just then, they saw a campfire burning ahead.
“Teacher, there’s a campfire over there.
Should we go take a look?
Maybe it’s one of our own!”
Huang Wei’s eyes darted; he recalled the original story.
It was currently night, which happened to correspond with the plot involving Tang San and Yu Xiaogang from the original story.
“Alright!” Ling Feng nodded and quickly headed forward.
Right there, Tang San, who was currently cleaning Yu Xiaogang’s wounds, heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
He immediately became vigilant!
