Chapter 2 Mission
At dawn, a shooting star streaked across the sky.
On the roof of a wooden house in Hunter's Village, a young man sat cross-legged, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
The boy was Chen Feng. When the Asura God sent him here, his body had returned to the age of six, and he had just awakened the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul.
The first test that the Asura God gave him was physical training.
The cultivation of a Soul Master is like building a tall building from the ground up; the body is the foundation of everything, especially for powerful offensive weapon-type Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls that focus on close combat.
Take the Clear Sky Hammer as an example. After being equipped with a Soul Ring, it can easily weigh thousands of pounds. In actual combat, the force of wielding the Clear Sky Hammer increases exponentially. Its attack power is mainly based on brute force. If one's physical fitness is not high, one may injure the enemy while being half-dead by the brute force in actual combat.
This is from an external perspective.
From an internal perspective, the importance of physical training is self-evident.
A good physical condition determines the amount of spirit ring age absorbed with each advancement, and the age of the spirit ring goes without saying; it has the most direct relationship with the strength of spirit skills.
As a level 99 peerless Douluo in his previous life, Chen Feng naturally understood the importance of body training. He was also very down-to-earth, and he devoted six years to the first test of the Asura God!
Yes, Chenfeng is now twelve years old.
During these six years, in addition to physical training, Chen Feng also frequently honed his self-created soul skill of the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul lineage—the Seven Kill Sword Technique.
Don't forget, although Chen Feng has started cultivating again, he has not lost his memories of his past life, which is his most precious asset.
"call--"
As the first ray of sunlight pierced through, Chen Feng exhaled a long breath of stale air, and a faint azure light pierced through his eyes, a sign of the solidification and growth of his spiritual power.
The growth of mental strength is naturally one of the most important steps in physical training.
But the blue light did not fade after it was shot out; it only dimmed slightly and continued to swirl in front of Chen Feng's forehead, as beautiful as a divine gift. It drifted in the void in wisps and strands, and finally merged into Chen Feng's forehead.
"bite--"
Chen Feng opened his eyes and felt a sudden clarity in his mind, all the fatigue in his body vanished, and a sound like porcelain shattering came from inside his body.
"We've broken through!"
Overjoyed, Chen Feng's soul power also broke through the barrier the moment his body-refining technique reached the minor completion stage, reaching the peak of level twenty-nine.
In other words, all that's needed next is to obtain a spirit ring to reach the Spirit Master level.
Such a cultivation speed is nothing short of divine! Back then, when Tang San broke through to the Soul Master level, he was about twelve years and seven months old, and I was a full seven months ahead of him!
A hint of joy appeared on Chen Feng's lips. At this step, he had already surpassed the former Sea God, albeit by only a slight advantage.
This is the pinnacle of Douluo. The memories of his past life have made Chen Feng even more adept at controlling the pace of cultivation in this life. In theory, he has almost reached perfection, and he has put it into practice.
Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, has a nickname: Master. Compared to Chen Feng, what is he? You must know that a peak Douluo has actually put his knowledge into practice, not just imagined it.
"With steady and methodical progress, and a near-perfect grasp of the cultivation rhythm, Chen Feng, you have passed the first test."
In his mind, the majestic voice of the Asura God resounded once more.
"Through this assessment, the Asura God's affinity will increase by 10%, and the total affinity will increase by 10%. In addition, all spirit rings will be granted an additional 500 years of age."
As the words fell, Chen Feng felt his soul power surge. He hurriedly activated his martial soul, and with a flash of blue light, the Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand. Beneath his feet, two yellow soul rings swirled, and the second yellow soul ring was quietly changing, eventually settling on purple.
The voice of the God of Asura rang out again: "Second mission: Find teammates, form your own team, and win the championship of the Continental Advanced Elite Soul Master Tournament. Time limit: Until the end of the tournament."
Chen Feng was still immersed in the joy of his increased strength. His second spirit ring had surpassed its limit to become a thousand-year spirit ring, something impossible to achieve through normal advancement. Forcibly absorbing it would only bring side effects, unless one had a fortuitous encounter. Clearly, passing a trial by a god to increase the age of a spirit ring, thereby increasing spirit power, was one such fortuitous encounter.
Upon hearing the second task from the God of Asura, Chen Feng immediately snapped out of his daze.
This task is no small feat. The Shrek Seven Devils' championship victory was no accident. Just like Shrek Academy's motto, each of them is a monster.
Are there any young Soul Masters who can stand up to them?
Have!
It's too scattered.
The young Soul Masters who are qualified to fight against them are often one from one academy and two from another, and it is almost impossible to integrate them together.
Moreover, even if they were to assemble a team, it would be difficult for them to match the Shrek Seven Devils in terms of synergy.
Chen Feng was at a loss for words.
But soon, his brow relaxed, and a plan, still in its early stages, emerged...
Back in the cabin, Chenfeng washed away the sweat, cooked a pot of rice porridge and a few eggs, then cut two pounds of braised pork that he had cooked the night before, and smashed two cucumbers. This was Chenfeng's breakfast.
During training, Soul Masters expend a great deal of energy every day, so it is essential to ensure adequate nutrition. Moreover, Chen Feng is currently in a period of rapid growth, so his diet cannot be neglected.
After finishing his meal and tidying everything up, Chen Feng changed into a black outfit before beginning his day's tasks.
It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and the village was gradually filling up with people, and the unique bustling atmosphere of Hunter Soul Village was starting to come alive.
"Take a look! Today's latest mission: assist your employer in obtaining a soul ring over 500 years old. Commission: 100 gold soul coins! Commission rate is only 10%!"
"Bulk orders are easy to place! Five employers have collectively captured their first spirit ring. The spirit ring must be at least 50 years old. Commission is 50 gold spirit coins. First come, first served!"
As the name suggests, Hunting Soul Village is located near the famous Star Dou Great Forest, where a unique business has gradually emerged – hunting soul beasts.
The name of the Soul Hunter Village comes from this.
At this moment, more than a dozen hunting notices have appeared on the bulletin board in the center of Soul Hunter Village. However, most of these are extremely simple hunting missions, mainly for the first and second soul rings. Three-ring soul rings of the thousand-year level are very rare.
In fact, most of the Soul Masters who need to hunt for Soul Rings are scattered Soul Masters without any background. Those who join sects or academies have powerful Soul Masters protecting them, so they don't need to obtain Soul Rings in this way at all.
Soul Masters have poor aptitude and slow cultivation, so when they reach a bottleneck, they dare not ask for too much in terms of the age of their Soul Rings. Being able to obtain a barely qualified Soul Ring and break through to the next realm is already something they dream of.
It is important to know that every time a Soul Master advances to a higher level, their strength will experience a qualitative leap. Even if they do nothing but register their name in the Spirit Hall, the Soul Coins they receive each month will increase exponentially.
Chen Feng, dressed in black, walked over with a slightly aloof air, as if he had come only for the mission and had no interest in anything else.
Several Soul Masters who were scratching their heads, wondering which mission to take, immediately moved aside when they saw Chen Feng.
One of the burly men grinned and said, "Brother Chen's here! Want to team up?"
As Chen Feng scanned the announcement, he replied without hesitation, "It's all about hunting first-ring spirit rings; even second-ring spirit rings that have been around for a hundred years are rare. What kind of team can we form?"
Chen Feng shook his head. The commissions on these platforms were pitifully low. If he teamed up with others, he would get even less. Besides, he could handle these simple tasks on his own. Why would he need to team up with them?
The burly man chuckled, unsurprised by Chen Feng's reaction. He took two steps closer and said with a hint of mystery, "These simple tasks don't require a team, but I have a bigger one here. Are you interested?"
"Big? How big?" Chen Feng looked over.
The burly man straightened his expression, held up three fingers, and said, "A Soul Master is about to obtain his fourth Soul Ring, requiring a lifespan of three to five thousand years. The commission is three thousand gold soul coins. How about it, interested?"
"Are you serious?" Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat. It was like a pillow coming to his head when he was sleepy. If what the strong man said was true, then his third ring would be secured!
"Of course it's true!" The burly man grinned, revealing two large yellow teeth. His seemingly honest face carried a hint of cunning.
"I'll go!" Chen Feng agreed almost without thinking. "However, I have one condition."
"you say!"
Chen Feng said, "I don't want gold coins for this mission. My condition is that after the employer obtains the fourth soul ring, you must also help me obtain the third soul ring, which must be around two thousand years old."
"Oh, okay, the third spirit ring, right? When that person advances to the Soul Master level, the mere third spirit ring won't be a problem... Which spirit ring did you say?" The burly man only realized what he meant halfway through his sentence, and his eyes widened to be bigger than eggs.
"The third soul ring requires an age of around two thousand years," Chen Feng repeated.
"hiss--"
Several Soul Masters gasped simultaneously, looking at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
Living in the same village, Chen Feng and the others naturally knew each other. How old was he this year? Eleven? At most twelve!
At such an age, he is about to become a Soul Master. His cultivation speed is unmatched, even by the direct descendants of other sects!
"My goodness, a phoenix has really flown out of a chicken coop in our Soul Hunter Village!" The burly man looked Chen Feng up and down, as if he were seeing him in a new light.
Chen Feng said helplessly, "Uncle Bi, just tell me if it's okay or not."
The burly man rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a few seconds. His eyes darted back and forth a few times before he hesitated and said, "After we help that Soul Master hunt down the fourth-ringed beasts, we might not have the strength to help you. You know, three-thousand-year-old soul beasts are very ferocious. We might even be in mortal danger."
"However, since we know each other, if we don't help you, who will? How about this, you add a little more money..."
