Chapter 66 Ink Jade Blue Silver Spear
Tang Ya immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot, calming her mind.
She subconsciously released her Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Several deep blue vines unfurled from her back and sides.
However, unlike before, as soon as these vines appeared, their surface was quickly covered with a deep, dark green sheen!
Moreover, the vines grew thicker and more solid at a visible speed, and the original suppleness of the plant revealed a hard texture like jade, exuding a strange and powerful mixed aura.
"No wonder it's a 100,000-year-old immortal herb—" A hint of amazement flashed in Lin Feng's eyes as he stood guard.
Even with only the initial activation of the medicinal effects, the martial soul has already begun to show such significant changes; the power it contains is indeed terrifying.
This process will obviously not be easy.
Fine beads of sweat quickly appeared on Tang Ya's smooth forehead, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly indicating that she was enduring the pressure and pain brought about by the energy washing over her meridians and transforming the origin of her martial soul.
But her breathing was steady, her will was firm, and she was fully utilizing the Xuan Tian Gong, guiding that vast and gentle power to cleanse and strengthen her martial spirit and body again and again.
Lin Feng stood quietly by the side, his mind highly focused, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
Time passed quietly. When Tang Ya slowly exhaled a long breath and opened her eyes, her gaze was sharp and piercing.
She succeeded.
The dark green light surrounding Tang Ya quickly subsided and merged into her body.
With a slight thought, a vine snaked out from her palm, but its form changed drastically the moment it broke free.
No longer soft plant vines, but transformed into a spear about twelve feet long, its entire body resembling a deep black jade carving!
The gun barrel is long and straight, with a cold, hard jade-like luster, yet it also subtly exudes the unique vitality of plants.
A glint of cold light condensed on the tip of the spear, exuding an invincible sharpness.
Tang Ya gripped the gun barrel with ease. She rose to her feet and flicked her wrist, sending the dark jade and blue-silver spear tracing a smooth arc through the air, accompanied by a low, sharp sound.
She stood there, holding a dark jade and blue silver spear, her posture upright.
Her originally gentle and tranquil temperament naturally acquired a touch of valor and heroism, like a female general who, though shedding her armor, was beginning to show her sharpness. Softness and fortitude were perfectly blended in her.
"Congratulations, Xiaoya," Lin Feng stepped forward, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at the heavy spear in her hand. "This Ink Jade Blue Silver Spear, just by looking at its aura, feels comparable to Senior Chen Zifeng's Soul-Chasing Sword. It seems you really absorbed the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo correctly."
"I still need to practice more," Tang Ya shook her head, her tone carrying her usual humility, but the fingers gripping the gun barrel tightened slightly, revealing her inner joy. "Senior Chen is, after all, a formal member of the Shrek Seven Devils, and his strength is unfathomable. I still have a long way to go."
"No rush, let's take it one step at a time." Lin Feng smiled, then got down to business, "We need to go back to Shrek Academy in a few days."
"Back to Shrek?" Tang Ya looked at him.
"Yes, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is about to begin. Teacher Yan mentioned before that the academy will start selecting reserve team members. This is an opportunity, and we should go back and take a look," Lin Feng explained.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ya frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "But—we're currently at the Body Sect. Will Senior Poison let you leave so easily?"
"Well," Lin Feng smiled, flipping his wrist to reveal something in his palm, "look what this is?"
He pulled out a jet-black metal token engraved with the character "poison," which was the sect leader's token that Poison Undying had given him before.
"This is... Senior Poison's sect leader's warrant?" Tang Ya looked at it carefully, her face showing surprise. "It seems you have gained his approval and trust... truly impressive."
"With this, entering and leaving the mountain gate, or taking short trips to handle some matters, will be no problem." Lin Feng put away the warrant. "So, there was no hindrance to returning to Shrek Academy. We should also go and meet up with some old friends, and while we're at it—check out the trend regarding the competition's participants."
Tang Ya nodded, and the last trace of worry in her heart dissipated.
She lightly swung the dark jade and silver spear in her hand, the tip of the spear cutting through the air with a low whistling sound: "Alright, let's go back then. Perfect timing, I also want to try out this newly acquired power."
Lin Feng nodded, also making plans in his mind. He needed to decide which side he would represent in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament: Shrek Academy or Body Sect.
He preferred to choose the Body Sect. This was not only because of Poison Undying's high regard for him, but more realistically, he needed the Body Sect's great favor.
In the future, obtaining the spirit ring of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion of the far north would be extremely risky, and Shrek Academy would be too hesitant and restrained due to too many concerns.
The Body Sect, however, didn't have as many concerns.
Lin Feng recalled the records he had seen in the sect's historical annals.
History records clearly state that the most recent large-scale emergence of the Body Sect was a frenzied hunt.
They gathered nearly forty top experts and secretly infiltrated the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. In just a few months, they hunted down seven 100,000-year-old soul beasts!
This directly triggered an unprecedented and terrifying beast tide. The Star Dou Great Forest even dispatched four ferocious beasts, who once launched a strong attack on Shrek City, nearly causing a tragedy of city destruction and death.
That catastrophe lasted a full year.
It was during that bloody battle in which they fought alongside the Body Sect against the beast tide that the Shrek Academy leadership was shocked to discover that, in terms of the overall strength of their top combat power, the Body Sect was actually slightly superior to Shrek Academy!
Ultimately, the disaster ended with an agreement reached by both sides.
The sect leader of the Body Sect at the time made a vow, promising never to set foot in the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
Only after the oath was made did the beast tide recede.
But the seeds of hatred had been sown, and in the five hundred years that followed, the probability of human soul masters being attacked by high-level soul beasts on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest increased dramatically.
No wonder we encountered a 5,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in that area.
What a bunch of reckless bastards!
Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart, but more than that, he felt a sense of awe.
This group of people acted recklessly and without regard for the consequences, but their protectiveness towards their fellow disciples and their dedication to their goals also coalesced into a terrifying force.
To deal with an existence like the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, appeasement and negotiation alone are probably not enough. Hard power is necessary, and a combination of both, along with a combination of carrot and stick tactics, is required.
Taking advantage of the time that Poison Undying was in seclusion, Lin Feng, after obtaining the consent of the ten elders who remained in the sect, took Tang Ya and set off back to Shrek Academy.
Having been away from the academy for so long, I wonder how Ma Xiaotao and Wang Dong are doing, and whether they miss me.
As Lin Feng thought to himself, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.
He didn't come back empty-handed this time.
Inside the storage container, a batch of precious immortal herbs obtained from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire were well prepared, just right to be distributed to those guys.
