Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

Lin Feng sat cross-legged beside the specially built fish pond, holding a fishing rod in his hand while taking a bite of a berry.

"Without bait, can you really catch anything?"

Lin Feng's index finger waved, "Ah Yin, this is a fish pond I built with my own hands. The fish are so dense, a single fishhook is enough. Have you heard of 'the willing one takes the bait'? Hey, look!"

Lin Feng swiftly and steadily lifted the fishing rod. A blue-gold fish leaped out of the water, shimmering with a charming light under the sun. He smiled, gently placed the fish into the fish basket, and then cast the hook again.

Ah Yin was stunned. It works without bait? She walked to Lin Feng's side, sat down lightly, and hugged her knees with her arms. A Blue Silver Emperor plant beside her transformed into the shape of a cattail leaf, gently swaying by their side, bringing gusts of cool wind.

"Lin Feng, I heard you were looking for me."

Di Tian spoke indifferently, his gaze towards Lin Feng somewhat strange. Recently, this fellow seemed to be frequently summoned by the Master. When he returned from the spatial rift, he would have a look of exhaustion. If one didn't know better, who knows what they would think had happened.

Ah Yin bowed slightly to Di Tian and nodded, which counted as a greeting. Here at the Lake of Life, the ferocious beasts basically just called each other by their names. There wasn't much of a hierarchy. Although Di Tian was the Beast God, it wasn't necessary to use honorifics at all times.

And because of Lin Feng's relationship, although Ah Yin was now just a seven-ring Soul Sage, she was living very comfortably here.

Lin Feng nodded and handed the fishing rod in his hand to Ah Yin. "Try to catch another silver-white fish, to be a companion for that blue-gold one."

"Oh~~"

Ah Yin nodded blankly, somewhat puzzled. But seeing that Lin Feng was getting up to talk with Di Tian, she didn't ask further. It's the first time I've heard that you have to specify the color when fishing. Might as well just put some golden ones, red ones, and purple ones in.

The two walked to a more distant open space. Lin Feng's gaze was burning.

"Senior Di Tian, have you ever been defeated?"

Di Tian narrowed his eyes. What nonsense is this human brat talking? I am the Beast God Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King with the purest dragon clan bloodline. I was even bestowed with the dragon clan's ultimate secret skill, the Dragon God Claw, by the Dragon God.

As the former captain of the Dragon God's personal guard, besides the Divine Realm battle back then, I have never been defeated.

He replied irritably, "What do you think? Listening to your tone, you want to have a match with me?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly. "I am now a level 56 Soul King. If senior is willing, how about you suppress your cultivation and have a match with me?"

A 16-year-old level 56 Soul King? Di Tian's gaze moved slightly. Has the human world ever produced such a guy before? This guy seems to have started with innate level one soul power.

"Alright. You are a guest of our Star Dou Great Forest. When a guest has a request, it should naturally be answered. I will suppress my strength to your human Soul King realm. Feel free to come at me."

Di Tian snorted coldly in his heart. This human, although he may bear a great cause and effect and be of great use to the soul beasts, it is also a fact that he has angered the Master several times. It's not bad to take the opportunity to knock some sense into him.

Lin Feng shook his head. "Senior, you can just see how it goes. A Soul King might be a little insufficient."

"Then that will depend on your strength."

Lin Feng said no more. He summoned his Innate Treasure Pearl, and the Five Elements Soul Veins in his body began to circulate rapidly. A brilliant soul power, like a river of stars, flowed within his body, and his aura instantly climbed to its peak. His two eyes sparkled with light, already prepared to go all out.

Seeing this, Di Tian's brow raised lightly. This aura really did seem different from an ordinary human Soul King. With a move of his figure, he transformed into a black shadow and rushed towards Lin Feng.

Bang—

The two of them, without a word, did not use their soul power at the first moment, but only competed with their physical strength.

Di Tian's right hand transformed into a dragon claw. The moment it met Lin Feng's fist and palm, it made the sound of metal clashing. Lin Feng only felt a great force coming at him, but he did not retreat. Instead, he rushed forward again, his left fist clenched, and he punched towards Di Tian's ribs.

A trace of appreciation flashed in Di Tian's eyes. This human youth not only had extraordinary soul power, but his physical strength was also beyond imagination. He turned his body to the side to dodge Lin Feng's punch, and at the same time, swept out with his left leg, trying to trip him.

However, Lin Feng seemed to have anticipated it. With an agile leap, he dodged Di Tian's attack. He flipped his body in the air and, after landing steadily, launched another fierce attack on Di Tian.

"Good kid!"

Lin Feng's figure was agile, leaping like an ape. Every attack was swift and precise. And Di Tian was as steady as a mountain. No matter how Lin Feng attacked, he could easily resolve it and counter-attack.

Although Di Tian had intentionally controlled his strength at this moment, his physical strength was not something that could be simply controlled. A piece of iron could not be directly turned into cotton. At most, he could reduce the damage he caused through the technique of exerting force.

Di Tian narrowed his eyes. Where did this kid get his combat experience? Did he learn it from his grandfather? For a time, he couldn't take him down directly. Now it was more like he was being a wooden dummy for him.

Di Tian swung a palm at Lin Feng's chest. The two of them retreated at the same time. "The warm-up is over. Let's use soul power and soul skills, Lin Feng."

Lin Feng dusted off the dust on his body and smiled faintly. "Alright! Let's go!"

The moment his voice fell, 6 crimson flame spears appeared above Di Tian's head. At the same time, the ground under Di Tian's feet became empty. A large patch of soil had disappeared, and at the same time, 8 golden swords appeared around his body. Their blades pointed straight at Di Tian's brow, eyes, neck, heart, waist, and other vital points, transforming into streams of light and attacking him.

The corner of Di Tian's mouth twitched. Is this how soul skills are released? Why don't you go to the human world and ask other soul masters how they release them? You don't shout the skill name before you make a move? You don't have any martial virtue!

And to release so much soul power at the same time, can you sustain it?

"A good move!"

Di Tian snorted coldly, stepped in the air to avoid the risk of falling into the deep pit, and with a shake of his arm, a dark power condensed in his hand, shaping into the form of a giant sword, with a black dragon wrapped around it.

"Black Dragon Sword!"

He brandished this dark giant sword, and with an incredible speed, slashed at the golden swords flying towards him.

Bang bang bang—

The golden swords and the dark giant sword collided, making a deafening sound of metal clashing. Under the support of Di Tian's powerful soul power, the dark giant sword seemed indestructible, instantly knocking away the 8 golden swords one by one.

However, this was not the end. The moment he knocked away the golden swords, Di Tian's figure flashed and had already appeared in front of Lin Feng. The dark giant sword in his hand carried a sharp momentum, heading straight for Lin Feng's neck.

A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, but he did not panic. His figure slightly turned to the side, and he skillfully dodged this fatal blow from Di Tian. At the same time, the soul power in his hand condensed into an ice-blue long spear and stabbed at Di Tian's ribs.

Di Tian sneered coldly. His figure flashed, and he dodged Lin Feng's long spear. He swung his sword back and attacked Lin Feng again. The battle between the two became more and more intense. The fluctuation of their soul power made the surrounding air seem to become distorted.

Although Lin Feng had gone through training and the guidance of Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and others, and his combat skills were surprisingly good, always able to exchange the smallest cost for the greatest result, Di Tian was after all experienced, and his strength was even more unfathomable. Every exchange made Lin Feng feel immense pressure.

Finally, in a fierce exchange, Lin Feng was hit in the chest by Di Tian's sword. He only felt a great force come at him, and his entire person was like a broken kite, sent flying backward and heavily falling to the ground.

"Cough cough." Lin Feng struggled to sit up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Di Tian's movements paused, and he nodded slightly. "You are very good. But experience is not something that can be made up for in a short time. I can tell you clearly that your combat power can definitely be compared with a human Soul Emperor, and even surpasses it."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. "How is that enough? Breath of Life."

Under the lustrous white light, Lin Feng's physical state quickly recovered. In a short while, he had already returned to his original state. Di Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. How does it feel like this fellow's healing ability is even more amazing than Bi Ji's?

"The real battle starts now! Innate Treasure Pearl, add points!"

With Lin Feng's light shout, the Innate Treasure Pearl disappeared into his body, steadily staying at his dantian. In an instant, the Five Elements Soul Veins in his body seemed to have found their backbone and began to circulate even more swiftly. Lin Feng's aura climbed again, his whole body enveloped in a brilliant soul power, like a war god clad in a river of stars.

A Soul Sage!

A grave look flashed in Di Tian's eyes. He could feel the change in Lin Feng at this moment. This power had already surpassed the level of an ordinary Soul Sage.

"A bit interesting," Di Tian whispered to himself. Immediately, the dark giant sword in his hand condensed again. This time, the black dragon patterns on the sword's body were even clearer, as if they would break out of the sword at any moment.

Lin Feng took a deep breath. He knew that the next battle would be even more intense. His figure moved, transforming into a stream of light and rushing towards Di Tian. The ice-blue long spear in his hand shone with a cold light, pointing straight at Di Tian's chest.

Di Tian swung his sword to meet him. The weapons of the two collided fiercely in the air, making a deafening sound.

Finally, after a fierce exchange, Di Tian was hit in the shoulder by Lin Feng's spear. His figure swayed, and he took a few steps back before stabilizing himself. And Lin Feng took the opportunity to pursue, his long spear stabbing at Di Tian's chest like a dragon.

Di Tian's face changed. He spun in his mind and still chose to unseal a part of his power. Although it was a bit of a loss of face, if he were to be directly defeated, it would seem to be an even greater loss of face.

He rapidly ascended into the air, dodging this blow. Di Tian said in a deep voice, "Is this a secret method? For a Soul King to possess the combat power of a Soul Sage is hard to imagine."

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth hooked up. He also flew to a high altitude and looked at Di Tian from afar. "Senior doesn't need to be reserved. However much power you suppress, you can just see how it goes. I want to see my limit at this time."

"As you wish! Ten-Thousand Dragon Flames!"

The sky was suddenly covered with several giant dragons condensed from dark power. They circled and danced, their dragon bodies emitting a scorching black flame, as if to devour the entire sky. These giant dragons all roared and went towards Lin Feng, carrying a momentum of destroying everything.

Lin Feng's eyes were grave. This was Di Tian's true power. Even if only a part was unsealed, it was by no means comparable to their previous exchange. He took a deep breath. The long spear in his hand waved, and an ice-blue soul power condensed into a sharp light at the tip of the spear.

"Profound Ice Dragon Flight!"

With a low shout from Lin Feng's mouth, six huge ice dragons suddenly surged out from behind him. Their dragon bodies were crystal clear, emitting a cold light. These six ice dragons seemed to be carved from the purest profound ice. Every scale shone with a cold light, and their dragon eyes revealed majesty and coldness.

His figure flashed, and he leaped onto the back of one of the ice dragons, tightly gripping a dragon horn with one hand. The ice dragons let out a series of deafening dragon roars, flapped their wings, and flew high, soaring through the clouds, circling and dancing. It was as if the entire sky was enveloped in a sheet of ice.

The entire sky was divided into two battlefields of red and black. The dark giant dragons and the ice dragons collided fiercely in the air. Flame and ice intertwined, bursting out with astonishing energy. Every collision seemed as if it would tear the sky apart, and the deafening dragon roars echoed continuously.

A look of surprise flashed in Di Tian's eyes. Its horns are like a deer's, its head like a camel's, its eyes like a demon's, its neck like a snake's, its belly like a mirage's, its scales like a fish's, its claws like an eagle's, its palm like a tiger's, its ears like an ox's. Compared to his own dragon body, it had an indescribable sense of beauty and power, as if this were what a true dragon clan should look like.

In this state, a feeling of shame actually rose in my heart? How did this kid think of this?!

Two streams of light fought among the battling giant dragons. The long spear in Lin Feng's hand cut across the sky and was thrown straight out. An incomparably huge rock condensed from the ground and smashed towards Di Tian as well.

Di Tian frowned, narrowly dodging. Just as his black dragon sword had knocked away the long spear, he was about to face Lin Feng's next attack. His head was already covered with three-colored arrows.

What made Di Tian shocked and angry was that there were also some below his body, aimed at his vital gate! What the!

Feeling the black dragons and ice dragons continuously shattering, and his body being surrounded, Di Tian's anger welled up. This fcking Soul King?! What a joke!*

"Dragon God..."

Seeing that Di Tian's aura was rising again, about to shatter the surrounding soul skills, the corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched. He quickly said, "Wait, Senior Di Tian, let's just stop here."

Di Tian, who was about to directly use his Dragon God Claw, was stunned. He looked at Lin Feng for a long time with gritted teeth, snorted coldly, and retracted the power he had just accidentally unsealed again.

"You are very good, kid. Converted to you humans, you would be hard to find an opponent among Soul Sages."

Di Tian nodded, then went far away. He didn't want to see this kid. He was afraid he couldn't resist beating him up.

Lin Feng grinned. Mainly, his soul power was also almost consumed. Replicating Hyōrinmaru's skills really did take a lot of effort. So, a high-level Soul Sage? About what I thought.

Bi Ji brought Ah Yin to the place where the two had fought, her gaze somewhat resentful.

"Why didn't you go to Xiong Jun's side? It's bare over there, you can create whatever you want. There are still groves of trees here. You fought so hotly, and now you want us to restore it."

Ah Yin stepped on her Blue Silver Emperor, sending herself to Lin Feng's side. She checked him over carefully, and only after confirming there were no injuries did she let out a long sigh of relief and scolded, "You were going to test your strength against Di Tian. Why didn't you tell me? I also have healing abilities."

Lin Feng spread his hands. "He, Di Tian, has a good sense of proportion. He stopped right at the end."

Ah Yin glared at him. "You should still have told me. You were fighting here, and you left me there to fish. What's that about?"

"Alright, alright, I'll pay attention next time. By the way, did you catch the silver-white fish?" Lin Feng nodded sheepishly.

Ah Yin rolled her eyes at him. "I caught it, I caught it. You cook tonight."

Bi Ji: "…"

Why aren't you responding to me? These two... she put a hand to her forehead and sighed. Suddenly, she looked at the spatial rift that had abruptly appeared.

"The Master is summoning you."

Lin Feng's body trembled slightly, and he walked in with a calm and natural air.

———

"You had a match with Di Tian? How did it go?"

"Yes. With him suppressing his strength, I have a new understanding of my own strength."

"Mmm," Gu Yuena's purple pupils blinked. "Come over here. What are you standing over there for?"

Lin Feng pursed his lips. "Emm, I fought with Di Tian like that today. My soul power is all used up. Can I have a day off today?"

Hearing this, a trace of cunning flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. "Your soul power is used up. What does that have to do with your 'Qi'? You can't even mobilize it now. It's still in your Soul Veins. Come over. Lie down obediently."

Well, plan A to escape has failed. Lin Feng came to the newly arranged bed and lay down against a soft cushion.

Gu Yuena nodded with satisfaction, then placed her own pair of jade-like legs on Lin Feng's lap.

Because the wound was on her calf, rather than taking out the "Qi" first and then sending it to the injury, it was more convenient to directly guide it to the place of the injury.

So, with a flash of inspiration, Gu Yuena had specially arranged a bed and cushions in this space under the Lake of Life.

The two of them were now in a cross shape. Gu Yuena's two calves were on Lin Feng's lap. The "Qi" guided out from Lin Feng's dantian was gathered at the place of the Asura divine power's erosion through the shortest distance.

"Mmm~"

Gu Yuena couldn't help but let out a low moan. This comfortable feeling of her divine body recovering was so good. She was getting a bit high...

"Why aren't you pinching?"

Lin Feng sighed. I shouldn't have told her I knew how to massage. It's one thing to have my 'Qi' squeezed out, but why do I have to do this kind of work too? Although I'm also enjoying it a bit...

Lin Feng placed his hands on Gu Yuena's calves and began to slowly rub them.

"Lin Feng, you are very good."

Gu Yuena's gaze moved slightly. He was like a rare treasure, a beautiful flower that was hard to come by, stirring the possessiveness in the bottom of her heart.

As everyone knows, what the dragon clan likes most is to collect treasures and put them in their own lair.
