Chapter 38 Ling Luochen, who wanted to repay his kindness with his body
"puff-
—
The flaming lion, which was charging forward, suddenly stiffened, and its momentum carried it several meters further.
Then, its massive body was neatly split into slices, the cuts were smooth, and hot lion blood gushed out, staining the ground red.
"There's another Tiger Demon Cat in the treetop to the left rear, with a cultivation level of about seven thousand years, that's been following us. Wang Dong, shall we try your third soul skill?"
Lin Feng retracted his claws, glanced to his side and rear, and spoke to Wang Dong, who had just finished absorbing the power and needed to practice in real combat.
"Understood, watch me!"
The wings of the Goddess of Light behind Wang Dong suddenly fluttered, and his figure instantly transformed into a streak of light, rushing at an astonishing speed to the canopy of an ancient tree to his left rear.
In the shadows, a pair of eerie green cat eyes just began to show fear.
"Third Soul Skill, Winged Guillotine!"
Wang Dongqing shouted, and the edges of the pair of beautiful butterfly wings behind him suddenly shone with a cold, dark gold light. The wing blades cut through the air, their sharpness flashing by!
"Whoosh!"
A hideous cat head flew off with a thud, the cut surface perfectly smooth.
The headless cat's body fell from the treetop due to the impact, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"This soul bone and soul skill—the Terror Claw—truly lives up to its reputation!"
Chen Zifeng couldn't help but admire how clean and efficient the two of them were. Especially Lin Feng's pair of dark gold claws, even he had to avoid their sharpness.
Ling Luochen nodded slightly in agreement.
However, the true power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's claws has only been revealed to be the tip of the iceberg.
There was a rumor that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Clan Emperor, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, used his signature move, "Sky-Tearing Claw," to severely injure the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, in his normal state.
Ultimately, this forced the Lord of Soul Beasts to unleash his ultimate technique, "Dragon King Claw," before he could completely suppress and defeat him.
A few days later, the Soul Hunter Squad returned safely to Shrek Academy.
After saying goodbye, Lin Feng turned around and planned to go find Ma Xiaotao.
"Raymond Lam".
A cool voice came from behind; it was Ling Luochen.
She called out to Lin Feng, but when he turned around, she almost imperceptibly looked away for a moment.
Her long, icy blue hair made her skin appear even whiter, and her expression remained as aloof as ever, but the subtle, unconscious pinching of her cuffs with her fingertips betrayed her nervousness.
"Senior Ling, is there anything else?" Lin Feng stopped and asked gently.
"Hmm." Ling Luochen took a soft breath, looked up at him, her gaze clear and earnest. "It's about what I mentioned before—I want to learn more about your Ice Flame."
Her voice was steady, but her earlobes were faintly red, clearly indicating that she was a little embarrassed.
"Okay," Lin Feng readily agreed. "Shall we go to the Sea God Lake? There's plenty of water element there, and it's quiet and convenient."
"Okay," Ling Luochen nodded.
The two soon arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake. At this moment, the lake water rippled gently, reflecting the sunlight, and the surroundings were tranquil, making it a perfect spot for a romantic rendezvous.
"Lin Feng," Ling Luochen said softly, gazing at the lake, "thank you."
"Don't thank me so early, senior. I haven't done anything yet." Lin Feng smiled.
Ling Luochen turned her head and looked directly at him. Her gaze was no longer icy, but rather burning with a kind of resolute determination.
"To be honest, I believe my control over ice elements is second to none in the inner academy. But—the quality of my martial soul's ice element isn't very high, as you probably noticed that day. This almost determined my growth ceiling. Until I heard about your Ice Flame from Dean Yan, and then witnessed its power on an evil soul master—I was certain that this was an opportunity bestowed upon me by heaven."
She paused, then said clearly, word by word, "So, I would like to ask you to use your ice flames to temper my body."
"Body tempering?" Lin Feng frowned slightly and shook his head. "That's too risky. If my ice flames are not careful, they could damage your spiritual sea, or even the origin of your soul. No way."
"Don't underestimate me, Junior Lin." Ling Luochen took two small steps forward and said coquettishly. She was very close to Lin Feng, and a faint, cool fragrance wafted from her body on the night breeze.
She tilted her head back, her eyes flashing with unwavering determination, and said stubbornly, "I have better control over the ice flames than you do. I'll be careful, please. This is my own choice, and I'll take responsibility for the consequences."
Looking at the yearning light in her eyes, Lin Feng remained silent for a moment before finally relenting: "I can try to guide you and help you condense a nascent form of the Ice Flame's essence, planting it within your Martial Soul. But whether you can truly succeed in condensing your own essence depends entirely on yourself. With your current soul power level, this is very risky."
"I'm not afraid." Ling Luochen's answer was without the slightest hesitation, his gaze intense.
"If—if it really works out. I—I can give you my most precious thing." A blush spread across her cheeks, her voice lowered, but each word was clear, "Even—I can repay you with my body."
The usually aloof, cold, and unapproachable beauty was now revealing such a straightforward, even somewhat clumsy, thought—
"It's not that bad, senior," Lin Feng softened his tone, his voice reassuring. "You can owe me a favor for now, and I'll repay you later. Right now, shouldn't we focus on what's in front of us?"
He skillfully changed the subject, giving her a way out. Ling Luochen's tense shoulders relaxed almost imperceptibly, and she murmured, "Mmm."
He made a sound.
"Then let's begin," Lin Feng said directly.
Ling Luochen said no more, her gaze fixed. She slightly raised her hand, and a chilling aura surged from her palm, instantly conjuring a translucent ice crystal staff.
The two walked on the ice, with Ling Luochen in front. With each step of his staff, the lake water in front of him froze, creating an icy path leading to the deeper water. Lin Feng followed closely behind, his steps steady.
Until the center of the lake, all around was deep and dark. The ice beneath my feet was thick and the chill was penetrating to the bone.
"Mystic Ice Spirit Flame, rise."
A cluster of dark blue flames silently ignited in Lin Feng's palm, its core pulsating and radiating an extreme chill that seemed capable of freezing the soul.
He activated the Burning Technique, his soul power winding around the flames like threads, repeatedly compressing and condensing them.
The flames gradually subsided, their shape becoming increasingly delicate, eventually transforming into a small, exquisite, dark blue fire lotus.
"Senior sister," Lin Feng said solemnly, holding the dangerous yet beautiful little fire lotus, "if anything goes wrong with your spiritual sea, be sure to inform me immediately so I can take away the ice flame."
Ling Luochen met his gaze, nodded slightly, her eyes filled with complete trust and resolve. Then she closed her eyes, her aura calming down, ready to act.
Lin Feng no longer hesitated and flicked his fingertips. The azure fire lotus seemed to come alive, gently rising and slowly disappearing into Ling Luochen's fair brow.
"Buzz—"
A barely perceptible tremor emanated from Ling Luochen's body.
Her body swayed almost imperceptibly before regaining its balance. Her eyes remained closed, but her face quickly lost its color, turning into a transparent pale.
A deep blue icy flame spread from between her brows, quickly engulfing her entire body.
The next instant, a powerful, dark blue icy flame erupted from her body, as if to freeze her limbs, bones, meridians, and soul power.
But Ling Luochen remained standing steadily, without even frowning, only her tightly pursed lips and slightly trembling long pupils.
Time passed slowly in the silence and extreme cold.
Just when Lin Feng thought everything was going smoothly.
"—Lin Feng"
Ling Luochen's voice suddenly rang out, very soft, with an almost undisguised tremor, as if every word was frozen between his teeth.
"I'm so cold————"
She seemed to have used all her strength to continue uttering broken words: "Hug—hug me."
