Chapter 501.
Beginning their journey from the Supreme Pontiff Palace, and adhering to Bibi Dong's wishes, Wang Feng took the opportunity to train Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue.
Excluding Hu Liena, Yan and Xie Yue possessed outstanding talent. As members of the Golden Generation, they deserved their status.
Thanks to the Starlight Fox, Hu Liena's martial soul had undergone a mutation, enhancing her talent beyond that of the other two.
Though their soul power levels had been matched by Tang San and the others in five years…
Moreover, the trio harbored unwavering respect for the White Pontiff. They would not refuse any task Wang Feng set before them.
And the training was far from easy.
Wang Feng first used the Armored Black Thorn to create a sharp blade, something with which they were familiar. Then, he used the sharp blade to forge a massive, sword, tasking the three with carrying it as a load.
On average, the sword weighed between three and five thousand catties.
Without using soul power, a soul master above level sixty could not endure such a terrifying weight for long.
Throughout their journey, Wang Feng rode in the carriage while the three ran alongside it.
Moreover, the protective gear they wore was extraordinary—it was essentially soul bone. Wang Feng used the Armored Black Thorn to compress their soul power, hindering its flow and strengthening their control over it. Long-term, this would improve their physical attributes.
At times, Wang Feng would subject them to the trials of the Domain of Original Sin, forcing their martial soul to endure the emotional shocks within to temper their resilience.
It was especially grueling for Hu Liena.
To prevent her from developing further romantic feelings for him, Wang Feng showed no mercy. He pushed her relentlessly, offering no pity or tenderness, and worked her to exhaustion.
She was, after all, a control-type soul master, her physical prowess inferior to Yan and Xie Yue.
Under such high-intensity training, Wang Feng thought Hu Liena had begun to be able to keep her heart away from him.
And as they approached Linhai City, the group stumbled upon the ravaged village. Though they hailed from the Soul Hall, the sight of the carnage filled them with rage. Wang Feng allowed them to act, sending them to the slaughter.
It also served as a release from the harsh training they had endured for the past ten days.
"Lord… Perhaps this is unwise?" Thomas said, observing the scene below with concern. "These wolf thieves seem inexhaustible. There are thousands of them in this troop, and a wolfman king comparable to a Soul Douluo."
Thomas, a veteran confidant of the White Pontiff, was a constant presence on these mainland tours.
Throughout their journey, Thomas watched Wang Feng relentlessly train the younger Golden Generation. Although it was Bibi Dong's wish that Wang Feng train these three, Thomas questioned whether there was a need to push them so far.
"Do you doubt my judgment?" Wang Feng said lightly.
"Considering the history of the Soul Hall, what is Sea God Island? These days, near the sea, you've heard news about the island. Is its trial so easy?"
"If I don't train them now, what are their chances of entering Sea God Island?"
Thomas was silent.
It was true that, due to the Soul Hall's limited knowledge, they had been gathering information about Sea God Island throughout their journey. He knew that the tests were terrifying. So far, no one on the mainland has made it.
"Lord, another group of soul masters seems to be heading toward the camp." Thomas said in surprise. "Hey, these people… they seem to be..."
Wang Feng glanced at him. Thomas was one of Bibi Dong's confidants.
He must know Xiao San.
Sure enough, a moment later, Thomas spoke.
"It's the Shrek Seven Devils! This place is already facing the sea. Her Majesty's guess was accurate. The Shrek Seven Devils want to reach Sea God Island!"
Afterwards, Thomas looked at Wang Feng.
"Lord Pontiff, should we need…" His eyes flashed coldly.
"Kill them?"
Wang Feng looked at him.
"Those seven aren't simple. Killing them would trigger backlash from the two empires and two sects immediately. Tang San has already been prematurely granted a King status in the Heaven Dou Empire. One of them is the prince of the Star Luo Empire… If they die, the two empires and two sects would directly wage war on our Soul Hall. How would we implement the second plan?"
"The goal of the second plan is to quietly devour the two empires and sects. Instead, you'd start a war."
Hearing this, Thomas flushed.
"Isn't this a good opportunity? We can pretend the Wolfman did it. It has nothing to do with our Soul Hall."
Wang Feng nodded, pointing ahead.
"They've already spotted us, and two Titled– Douluos are also present. Do you think we can pull off such a deception under their gaze?"
Thomas was taken aback, but he dared not doubt the White Pontiff.
Wang Feng shook his head.
Thomas was a hawkish figure in the Soul Hall who advocated ruthless elimination of threats.
According to him, killing those who threatened the Soul Hall without being caught was a valuable move.
But things weren't that simple.
Wang Feng wouldn't permit it.
"They're cautious and sent protectors."
Wang Feng frowned.
He had already sensed the presence of two Titled Douluos: one of them being Sword Douluo.
Even if Ning Fengzhi hadn't guessed the Soul Hall would send someone to interfere, he'd have sent Titled Douluo to secretly protect his group until they set sail.
Wang Feng looked down and noticed the new arrivals.
"That should be Bai Chenxiang, right?" Wang Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"But it seems Fatty hasn't made any progress. Their cooperation lacks synchronization."
At the same time, he saw another figure–, presumably Oscar's girlfriend in this timeline.
Both flew in mid-air, creating food and providing assistance.
Wang Feng was intrigued.
'However, compared to Bai Chenxiang, her talent is somewhat better.'
Wang Feng mused, 'It seems I must intervene; otherwise, Fatty's future will be bleak. Oscar's girlfriend has potential…'
An idea took shape.
"Thomas, head to the nearby city and prepare. I'll meet you when things are settled here." Wang Feng ordered.
"Understood."
Thomas nodded and, without hesitation, activated his martial soul, taking flight.
His strength was at the Soul Douluo level, possessing a flying-type eagle martial soul.
As Thomas departed, Wang Feng smiled. "Fatty, brother is here to stoke the flames."
Below, Hu Liena fought with focus. She had been sweating, but her clothes could absorb sweat.
The others were just as engaged.
These wolfmen were powerful.
While not soul masters, they had the power of soul beasts, high intelligence, cruelty, and a love for ruthlessness and savageness. Many could rival level 30 soul masters, and some could contend with those at level 40 or 50.
Fortunately, they lacked martial souls and soul abilities, only possessing unique soul beast skills.
Otherwise, their defeat would have been impossible.
"Sister, are you alright?"
Xie Yue frowned. "Rest. Yan and I will use our area-of-effect soul abilities. Let's fight physically."
Xie Yue and Yan were mainly relying on Hu Liena to charm the wolf thieves, and then using group attacks.
"Alright."
Hu Liena nodded. Then, she drew a sharp blade from her load, gripped it tightly, and rushed out.
Xie Yue and Yan kept pace. They maintained formation, sacrificing killing speed to conserve soul power.
Suddenly, three sharp blades flew from them. The three paused.
The blades were placed as a burden. They had accepted with no complaint. They were tired–, and the weight constantly increased.
Could it be that the Lord White Pontiff sought to relieve of their burden?
Then, they knew.
Instead of striking the wolf thieves, the blades sped towards the sky!
Attracted, the three turned their eyes.
"Someone's coming."
Yan looked at the sky. "Look over there."
New figures were in the air, and there were two, struggling against the wolf thieves.
"Chenxiang, on the right! Three wolf thieves will sneak attack Mubai from behind!" Ma Hongjun shouted. "Cover, I'll attack!"
Bai Chenxiang flew towards them and swung her wings to create wind blades, which could hinder their momentum, causing damage, but not kill.
Then, as she released her soul ability, rays of light landed on her, amplifying her power to the point that her wind blades killed three wolf thieves.
She was shocked.
Dai Mubai and Tang San were slaughtering the wolves below.
Their melee power was high, especially Tang San.
To save power, Tang San didn't use the Blue Silver Domain. He employed Blue Silver Grass, hidden weapons, and the Eight Spider Lances, which absorbed the wolf thieves' power.
What stunned Bai Chenxiang more was Zhu Zhuqing, who was like herself: agility attack system soul master.
Zhu Zhuqing was a streak of purple lightning, leaving a burst of blood wherever she went. She was like an artist of death!
Tang San and Dai Mubai didn't even bother attacking. Every attack by Zhu Zhuqing was simple, efficient, and deadly!
Her speed was also incredible!
Compared to pure power attack-type soul master status, Zhu Zhuqing was not lacking.
High attack, high agility—the attributes that agile-attack soul masters craved.
The only weakness, defense, hardly seemed to matter in front of overwhelming speed.
Bai Chenxiang thought that with such speed and grace, defense might be irrelevant.
Bai Chenxiang looked at Ning Rongrong, the beauty from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda School, radiating light.
The vast Nine Treasure Star Cloud Pagoda, represented auxiliary power.
After the Pagoda's evolution, it was un-comparable from before, as rays of light strengthened allies.
Just now, Ning Rongrong had boosted her strength, causing her to kill powerful three wolf thieves.
"So strong… the Shrek Seven Monsters are truly powerful… This kind of cooperation, and a one-sided massacre… One can only imagine how terrifying their captain, Wang Feng, is."
Suddenly, a cold light struck from afar.
She reacted immediately!
"Chenxiang, be careful!" Ma Hongjun yelled.
The roar startled Bai Chenxiang.
Ning Rongrong applied a defensive increase.
Too fast!
The light flashed.
A scar appeared on Bai Chenxiang's arm!
She was fast, but her defense was weak.
Shoo!
Two rays left scars on Bai Chenxiang's body, but they weren't serious.
Ma Hongjun saw the attack: three sharp blades, floating in the air, with cold light.
Shoo!
The sound of air breaking rang out. Ma Hongjun rushed toward Bai Chenxiang.
"Be careful!"
But he was too slow.
The blade was too fast.
This time, the blade attacked Bai Chenxiang's wings, several points faster.
Bai Chenxiang couldn't react, and the wings on her back disappeared.
