The immortal herbs were now full of confidence.
With Zang Xin gone, these three people were easy to bully.
With the power of the two Dragon Kings, anyone below the Limit Douluo level would be unable to withstand them.
How dare they!
Causing a disturbance in their territory!
Feng Wuyu put away his forging platform.
He held a piece of wasted Heavy Silver in his hand, remaining silent.
He had been on the verge of a successful forging attempt just moments ago.
This piece of Heavy Silver should have become a vibrant life, but it was cut short due to the interruption from the immortal herbs.
"Hey, get lost now! Don't disturb our quiet cultivation!"
The Fiery Passion Tender Shoot had the most fiery temper.
Feng Wuyu's Spirit Power began to fluctuate, and intense flames started to rise around his body.
A dragon's roar sounded.
"What did you say?"
Feng Wuyu was already angry, and hearing the Fiery Passion Tender Shoot use that tone made his suppressed fury erupt.
97th-level Spirit Power filled the entire valley, causing the previously hot-tempered Fiery Passion Tender Shoot to sober up instantly.
Such intense Spirit Power fluctuations!
"Human, how dare you!" the immortal herbs shouted in unison.
They collectively released their Spirit Power, confronting Feng Wuyu.
Guo Xiaoxu watched from the side without intervening.
There wasn't much he could do anyway.
His assignment here was primarily to keep an eye on Su Ming, not to manage Feng Wuyu.
He couldn't control Feng Wuyu either.
This was, after all, a 97th-level Super Douluo, immensely powerful, a high-ranking elder within Shrek Academy.
A 97th level might not seem like much, but what if he was also a Three-Word Battle Armor Master?
With Super Douluo cultivation plus Three-Word Battle Armor, Feng Wuyu possessed combat power at least at the peak of the 98th level, infinitely close to Limit Douluo strength.
Not only that, his Battle Armor was forged by his own hammer, one strike at a time, giving it an extremely high compatibility with him and allowing for perfect control over its power – this was the control over power that he, as a blacksmith, pursued.
Combined, Feng Wuyu could be considered one of the strongest experts below the Limit Douluo level.
"Hmph, a dragon type at that!" The Fiery Passion Tender Shoot snorted coldly and looked at the other immortal herbs.
"Brothers and sisters, let's attack! This time, we must make these humans understand that we are not to be trifled with. They take whatever they want whenever they want, do they really think we are leeks to be harvested at will?"
As the Fiery Passion Tender Shoot's voice fell, multiple treasure lights lit up.
The entire valley was illuminated by the radiant glow of the immortal herbs.
Su Ming saw the icy and fiery springs ahead begin to riot. The ice and fire泉水 surged out of the lake surface, forming two giant dragons coiling in mid-air.
Feng Wuyu's aura began to decline.
He was being suppressed.
His Martial Spirit was the Blazing Fire Dragon, a true dragon Martial Spirit with pure bloodlines, a genuine top-tier Martial Spirit, belonging to the very peak tier, one that had the potential to reach the Limit Douluo level even in the Douluo 2 era.
Zhuoshi, who also possessed a true dragon Martial Spirit, the Red Dragon, also at the 97th level with equally pure bloodlines, had even developed a unique skill focused on his bloodline, integrating strong attack, control, area attack, and defense into one, making him an all-rounder warrior.
Even so, Zhuoshi could only fight Feng Wuyu to a standstill.
While seemingly obsessed with forging, Feng Wuyu had honed formidable abilities through his craft. He had no other special skills; swinging his hammer was his strongest state.
However, the source of his power was also dragon.
As the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were summoned by the immortal herbs, Feng Wuyu's original 97th-level Spirit Power fluctuations were directly suppressed to barely 95th level.
Guo Xiaoxu's face changed dramatically.
At this moment, he couldn't just stand by and watch.
"Outrageous!" he shouted. Icy blue light erupted from Guo Xiaoxu's body as his Three-Word Battle Armor instantly materialized on him, and his Martial Spirit also manifested.
His Martial Spirit was a long spear, the shaft enveloped in a layer of frost, named the Extreme Ice Spear, with attributes approaching the ultimate level.
As the head of the Fighting Soul Hall, he certainly couldn't be weak. Guo Xiaoxu was naturally a Super Douluo, with Spirit Power reaching the 96th level. His Three-Word Battle Armor also matched him perfectly, capable of elevating his strength to nearly the 98th level.
However, he was also suppressed now.
The dragon soul of the Ice Dragon King was genuine Ultimate Ice.
Faced with Ultimate Ice, Guo Xiaoxu's strength was also suppressed to the level where he couldn't utilize his Battle Armor's full power.
Sensing the suppression, Feng Wuyu also immediately released his Battle Armor.
His Martial Spirit was blazing like fire, but it wasn't Ultimate Fire either.
Thus, dragon plus fire, he was thoroughly suppressed by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
Even clad in Three-Word Battle Armor, Feng Wuyu's aura couldn't reach the 97th level.
Watching this scene, Su Ming sighed helplessly.
He stepped forward, no longer concealing his aura.
He gathered all the Favor of the Plane that he carried upon himself.
Feng Wuyu, Guo Xiaoxu, and the immortal herbs were perplexed; they only knew that Su Ming was now enveloped by a special power, but they couldn't perceive the nature of this force, unsure what it was.
They didn't understand, but the two Dragon King dragon souls did.
Son of the Plane!
An ordinary Son of the Plane might not even realize it themselves.
Su Ming was different; he had actively become the Son of the Plane. He could feel all the power upon himself and naturally could gather this power.
He slowly stepped forward, each step firm and unwavering.
The dragon souls, awakened by the immortal herbs and still somewhat dazed, now had much more lively gazes.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings raised their heads and let out long cries towards the sky.
Then, they plunged back into the spring water, paying no heed to the immortal herbs' summons.
Don't even think about retaining the summoning rights in the future.
They wouldn't necessarily bow down to Su Ming, but in their deceased state, they existed dependent on the ley lines. If they were to kill the Son of the Plane, they would instead be rejected by the plane.
At that time, they, who relied on the ley lines for existence, would truly dissipate.
With the Ice and Fire Dragon King dragon souls gone, Feng Wuyu and Guo Xiaoxu's auras surged, one approaching the Limit Douluo level, the other roughly at the 98th level.
"Just as I thought, those of a different race must have different loyalties!" Guo Xiaoxu said coldly. "Our Tang Sect cooperated with you, protected your safety, and yet you harbored rebellious intentions all along."
"Call it protection? It was nothing more than captivity," the Fiery Passion Tender Shoot retorted angrily.
She had suffered the most. The Fiery Gel she produced was harvested periodically. The worst exploitation was six thousand years ago when every time she managed to gather just a visible drop of Fiery Gel, it would be taken away by the Tang Sect.
That period lasted for a full five hundred years.
Of course, the Octagonal Profound Ice Grass was in a similar situation; every time it condensed an Octagonal Profound Ice Crystal, it would be harvested.
This pair of peerless immortal herbs, used for the Ice-Fire Tempered Body, were treated almost like slaves under the Tang Sect's control, receiving no benefits, only endless demands.
The Serene Fragrance Exquisite Rosette was also furious; its immortal core had been plucked.
One after another, the immortal herbs recounted their tragic experiences.
For a moment, even Su Ming fell silent.
He looked at Feng Wuyu, then at Guo Xiaoxu.
Your Tang Sect is truly inhuman.
Although he knew this Ice Fire Two Eyes was used as a medicinal garden, Su Ming had never really pondered how these immortal herbs had endured the past ten thousand years.
