[Trait Replacement (Red) – You may freely replace another person's trait. Each individual may only have a purple-tier or lower trait replaced once.]
[Polar Reversal (Red) – Everything about you undergoes a reversal—good becomes bad, bad becomes good. A divine artifact for desperate situations—turn the tide of battle!]
[Load Save (Red) - You will return to the day you acquired the system and live your life anew.]
"Whoa! A red-tier trait dropped!"
Lin Feng exclaimed in excitement, his eyes gleaming at the sight of the red-colored traits.
This was the first time he had ever drawn a red-tier trait on his own.
Even the red-tier [Fate's Chosen] he had before was copied from Tang San.
Quickly regaining his composure, Lin Feng turned his attention back to the three upgraded red-tier traits before him.
The first one that caught his eye was Trait Replacement.
Trait Replacement?
Reading the description, Lin Feng's heart leapt in both surprise and delight.
The ability to replace someone else's trait—this was something he had been hoping for a long time.
The only downside was that it could only replace purple-tier or lower traits.
But that was still quite good.
Across the continent, aside from the protagonist group and a few outstandingly gifted individuals, those with traits above purple-tier were extremely rare.
"Let's check the other traits too."
Lin Feng muttered with growing curiosity.
Everything becomes reversed. Good becomes bad, bad becomes good?
A trump card meant for desperate situations...
While this trait was certainly tempting, his current academy was thriving, developing rapidly.
He already had full control over the protagonist group and all major powers.
He was essentially swimming with the tide.
Compared to his earliest trait, [Trait Copy], this [Polar Reversal] trait just wasn't as practical.
Next, his gaze fell on the final trait — Load Save?
Seriously?
This was essentially time travel in this world.
If he carried his memories from this life back to the day the system first appeared...
Sure, he'd live an even better life, but that would be mentally exhausting.
Lin Feng thought quietly to himself.
"In that case, I'll choose [Trait Replacement]!"
He no longer hesitated and gave the command to the system.
[Ding! Trait Replacement acquired successfully.]
At present, Lin Feng's system panel displayed:
[Name: Lin Feng]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 16]
[Innate Soul Power: Rank 20]
[Martial Souls: Fire Dragon King (Divine Tier), Skyflame Dragon (Top Tier)]
[Soul Power: Rank 65]
[Traits:Kyoka Suigetsu (Gold), Teleportation (Gold), Core Flame of the Green Lotus (Gold), Flame-Flame Fruit (Gold)]
[Permanent Hidden Traits]: Twin Martial Souls (Gold), Fire Dragon King (Gold), Innate Rank 20 (Gold), Portable Space (Gold), Trait Replacement (Red), Fate's Chosen (Red)
Eight gold-tier and two red-tier traits.
As the system prompt faded, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction at his current panel.
Beyond the incredible traits...
He was now only 16 years old, yet had already reached Rank 65.
That innate Rank 20 cultivation speed was truly outrageous.
He couldn't imagine how Qian Renxue only reached Soul Sage at 29—what was she even doing all those years?
Just as Lin Feng was musing, a knock came from the door.
"Vice-Dean!"
A rugged voice called from outside.
"Come in."
Lin Feng adjusted his posture and responded in a low voice.
The door opened quickly, and Zhao Wuji strode in.
"Teacher Zhao, what's the matter?"
Lin Feng asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Vice-Dean, the Monster Battle Team members heading to the Elite Tournament are all ready. We can depart at any time."
"Good. You go on ahead. I'll join you shortly."
Lin Feng replied simply.
"Yes, Vice-Dean."
Zhao Wuji cupped his fists and turned to leave, a confident smile on his face.
Under the joint leadership of Lin Feng and Dugu Bo, the battle team's members had all made remarkable progress.
Even the academy's teaching staff had seen significant soul power gains—Zhao Wuji himself had broken through to Rank 81.
Back when he was at Shrek, such advancement was unimaginable.
---
A short while later, at the Monster Academy plaza.
Seven members of the Monster Battle Team and five accompanying teachers stood assembled.
Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, Lin Long, and Lin Shui—who had graduated and stayed on as an instructor.
Alongside them stood Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Yu Kuang, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and others, all waiting expectantly.
"Ahem!"
A familiar voice rang out.
Everyone turned their eyes toward the two figures walking in the distance.
It was Lin Feng and Dugu Bo, striding confidently toward the group.
Seeing the hopeful anticipation in their eyes, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile.
As he and Dugu Bo took their places before the team, Lin Feng clasped his hands behind his back and surveyed the lineup.
Among the members:
Lin Jian, 25 years old, Soul Power Rank 55.
The team captain, he stood tall and sharp like a drawn blade, exuding a formidable aura.
Lin Xue, 25 years old, Soul Power Rank 49, stood beside Lin Jian.
Although slightly weaker, she was a rare spiritual-type Soul Master with heterochromatic eyes. Her hypnosis could affect even Soul Kings.
Xu Liang, 23 years old, Soul Power Rank 43.
Former young master of the Fire Merchant Guild, brought in by Lin Feng's second uncle due to his low innate soul power.
Now, with Lin Feng's help via trait refresh, he was a key team member.
Three and a half years ago, Lin Feng had drawn a unique purple-tier trait from him:
[Nightmare(Purple): Upon falling asleep, you unleash the nightmare in your heart, launching a wild and indiscriminate attack.]
To mitigate the threat, Lin Xue would hypnotize him post-activation, turning him into a controllable weapon.
Behind them stood twin sisters, Bingyue and Bingxue, both 19, with identical snowflake martial souls.
Lin Feng had granted them the purple-tier trait — [Divine Fusion], a true game-changer.
When their martial souls fused, they could temporarily ascend to divine-tier martial souls.
Though only Rank 41 Soul Elders, their fusion skill "Sigh of the Ice God" was powerful enough to defeat weaker Soul Emperors.
The last two members, Zhang Feng and Mu Qing, were selected from top-performing students with Soul Power Ranks of 43 and 45 respectively.
While not the strongest, both were healing-type Soul Masters, making up for the team's lack of support roles.
Then again, the team was so overpowered that healers barely mattered.
Lin Jian or Lin Xue alone could wipe out entire opposing teams.
Lin Feng understood all too well the importance of loyalty.
"System, copy Zhao Wuji's [Loyalty] trait and replace it for Bingyue, Bingxue, and Lin Jian…"
"Ding! Replacement successful."
He swapped in the loyalty trait for Bingyue and Bingxue.
These twins already idolized him, so no one would notice any difference after the replacement.
He did the same for Liu Erlong, Flender, Lin Jian, Lin Xue, and Lin Long.
However, Xu Liang and Dugu Bo were excluded.
Firstly, Xu Liang's loyalties might still lie with his old guild or family.
Secondly, a sudden shift in personality could arouse suspicion.
Dugu Bo was in the same category.
