Although the system itself was a transcendent existence, this ability was truly absurd!
He had previously felt some regret regarding his own Soul Ring configuration, but unexpectedly, there was a silver lining—a twist like this.
Doesn’t that mean that as long as he took in an apprentice with monstrous talent, his own Soul Ring age could instantly skyrocket?
Why keep a low profile now?
It was time to intervene in the plot!
Take an apprentice!
Take an apprentice as soon as possible!
And he couldn’t just take anyone; he had to be selective and find those future monsters!
Good seedlings…
at this point in time, where would good seedlings appear?
Speaking of monsters!
Lin Feng’s gaze involuntarily turned toward the end of the road: Soto City.
“Yo!
Isn’t that a coincidence?”
A meaningful smile curled at the corner of his mouth; the gears of fate were interlocking perfectly at this moment.
“Isn’t this just perfect timing?”
“System, is there a personal panel?
Also, shouldn’t there be some compensation?
Like a big gift pack?”
[Yes, Host, there is.]
[Ding, one Martial Arts Gift Pack, Charm +99 (already in effect)!
Please check…]
Lin Feng moved his mind, sensing the existence of the gift pack.
‘Charm +99?’
He looked down at himself, felt no changes, and decided not to dwell on it for now.
He focused his attention on the Martial Arts Gift Pack, which contained secret manuals from high-martial arts Worlds.
The highest level reached the Grandmaster tier.
After a brief evaluation, he felt its level was roughly equivalent to Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
There were too many of these martial arts to study them all slowly later.
With a thought, he silently pulled up his system panel:
[Name]: Lin Feng
[Age]: 18
[Charm]: 99
[Spirit]: Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed (God-tier)
[Trait]: The Seven-Orifice Lotus Martial Soul grants the host a constant multiplier to base combat power and cultivation speed.
Current multiplier: 7 times
[Level]: Level 79, attack system Soul Saint
[Soul Rings]: Yellow (420 years), Yellow (750 years), Purple (2,000 years), Purple (6,000 years), Black (14,000 years), Black (60,000 years), Black (60,000 years)
(TL: that is most definitely the authors ocd acting up lol)
[Soul Bone]: None
[Soul Skill]: First Soul Skill: Lotus Seed Sky-Splitter: The lotus seed transforms into a green blade, unleashing a treacherous, highly penetrating sword aura slash that possesses armor-piercing and tearing effects against energy-based defensive Soul Skill.
Second Soul Skill: Thousand Lotus Shadow Patrol: Condenses lotus seed phantoms to surround the body, forming a lotus shadow barrier that serves both offense and defense, which can be controlled by thought to block or strike proactively.
(TL: sounds just a bit like rho aias… not very much but basically any flower shield reminds me of it)
Third Soul Skill: Spirit Source Recovery: Stimulates the life source of the lotus seed, released upon a selected target to rapidly heal their injuries and replenish a portion of their Soul Power.
Fourth Soul Skill: Ten Thousand Transformations Lotus Prison: With himself as the center, manifests countless fine lotus petal sword auras; wherever his will points, ten thousand petals launch simultaneously, forming a large-scale sword rain bombardment.
Fifth Soul Skill: Boundless Lotus Tomb: Deploys a unique Lotus Domain.
Within the Domain, tough and sharp lotus stems sprout from the ground, while invisible sword auras and pressure permeate the air, continuously cutting, harassing, and suppressing enemies.
Sixth Soul Skill: One Sword Breaks Spells: Condenses the Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed entity to launch a terminal slash, containing a trace of the ‘Severing Rules’ artistic conception, possessing the Spell-Breaking trait:
Can forcibly sever the energy connection of the target’s active Soul Skill, forcing an interruption of spellcasting.
Can slice through energy barriers, seals, and other defenses.
Can ignore physical defense to deal true damage.
Seventh Soul Skill: Lotus Seed Arrival (Martial Soul True Body): Transforms into the Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed avatar, all attributes surge several times over, and every gesture can draw forth a vast, peerless torrent of sword aura.
…
(TL: im trying out a slightly different format for showing the system panel since the author does it slightly different from other authors id thought id follow along let me know if youd rather see it bolded or in the format I just usually use)
Lin Feng quickly scanned the panel information; the content was indeed incredibly detailed.
“Hm, having this panel is convenient; it allows for a more intuitive quantification of my own state.” He nodded to himself.
Although he was aware of his own strength, the data-driven presentation was indeed clearer.
His gaze turned back toward the direction of Soto City, a strong sense of anticipation surging in his chest.
With his current level, approaching a Soul Douluo, plus the amplification of the Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed and numerous powerful Soul Skills, he should no longer fear that old schemer hiding in the shadows.
Although they had never truly fought, he was confident he could handle it.
Moreover, he faintly felt that the bottleneck for breaking through to Soul Douluo seemed to be right in front of him!
In a great mood, Lin Feng was strolling leisurely along the forest path.
Suddenly, a panicked, fleeing black figure entered his line of sight.
That figure had a graceful posture, and her stunning curves were even more heart-stopping during her high-speed flight.
Even just a fleeting glance was enough to leave a deep impression.
The black clothes on the woman were torn in many places, revealing hideous bloodstains underneath; she was clearly heavily injured, her steps stumbling.
With this unique attire and prominent features, a name instantly leapt into Lin Feng’s mind.
“Eh?
Could this person be Zhuqing?”
(TL: hey I just thought of something… isn’t this very similar to that other teacher in douluo fanfic… the only difference here is that that guy had a 9 leaf sword grass instead of a lotus seed… hell even the base multiplier was the same, so was the +99 charm, and the system… maybe im reading a Chinese knockoff of a Chinese ff… never thought id see that happen one day… oh well that one was dropped early on so considering this one is still going its a lot better)
A hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes.
“Looks like she’s in trouble.”
“Did she just escape from the Zhu family?
Running thousands of miles to this Tian Dou Empire, probably to find that fiancé she’s barely met…”
As if to confirm his conjecture, the moment the thought arose, several murderous figures darted past in the direction where Zhuqing had disappeared.
Having roughly confirmed the other party’s identity, Lin Feng immediately had a plan in mind.
This was indeed suitable to be his first apprentice candidate!
With her deep in crisis right now, wasn’t this a god-given opportunity?
Even though he knew full well that according to the original trajectory, without his interference, Zhuqing would escape and her life would not be in danger.
But who asked her to be targeted by him, Lin Feng?
“Hehe, you and I had no fate, all because of the big and round; the first apprentice, it’s you!”
His figure flashed, and he followed silently.
Zhuqing was indeed clever, knowing how to utilize the advantages of her own Martial Soul.
During the chase, she had already dived into a dense jungle.
Here, the trees were towering and the terrain was complex and ever-changing, serving as an excellent natural barrier that greatly hindered the pursuers’ line of sight and speed.
In the original script, she might have relied on this cover to escape.
Lin Feng, however, followed unhurriedly behind, acting as a spectator.
With his strength, killing those few Soul Elders and the leading Soul Ancestor would be as easy as turning over his hand.
But he was not a warm-hearted hero; what’s the point of doing good deeds without leaving a name?
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly accelerated.
His figure bypassed the group and quietly appeared on the path Zhuqing had to take, leisurely blocking her way.
“Young lady, why are you in such a sorry state?”
He wore a faint smile and continued to ask: “Do you need help?”
This sudden voice exploded on Zhuqing’s highly strained nerves!
She slammed on the brakes, her chest heaving violently, magnificent and breathtaking.
The sound of her rapid panting spoke of her agitation.
A pair of vigilant eyes stared fixedly at Lin Feng.
She was secretly shocked; she hadn’t even seen how this man had appeared!
Her heart began to beat wildly out of control—not the kind of feeling from seeing a lover, but purely from being scared.
“You, who are you?
Why are you blocking my way?”
