"Are you full?" Lu Feng chuckled.
"Yes." Zhu Zhuqing wiped her mouth and nodded gently.
She looked up, a bright smile on her face. Zhu Zhuqing had already made up her mind. Lu Feng still had a bright future, and she shouldn't be so selfish as to drag him into the vortex of royal struggle.
This time, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be considered an accident.
However, this breakfast felt like the most wonderful one she'd had in over ten years.
"I think we can talk," Zhu Zhuqing said slowly.
She looked up at Lu Feng quietly, her eyes no longer showing any shyness or timidity.
"Oh? Coincidentally, I also have something I want to tell you," Lu Feng said with a faint smile.
Zhu Zhuqing said seriously, "Lu Feng, if I'm not mistaken, you should have twin martial souls, right? One is a fist martial soul, and the other is a white tiger martial soul, right?"
Before Lu Feng could speak, Zhu Zhuqing continued, "I don't know if you've heard of the Netherworld White Tiger fusion technique. This move is the Star Luo royal family's trump card."
"We caused quite a stir in Soto City. If someone with ulterior motives discovers this, you'll definitely be targeted by the Star Luo royal family."
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, as if she had made an important decision.
"Lu Feng, you should leave. Don't use your white tiger martial soul lightly in the future. If the royal family investigates, I swear I will never reveal your identity."
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng fell silent.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's serious expression, his understanding of these great families deepened.
The longer a family has a long history, the more it values the inheritance of its bloodline.
In the original story, Yu Xiaogang's martial soul underwent a malignant mutation. Even though he was the son of the sect leader, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect had no place for him.
Conversely, Liu Erlong's martial soul is a mutated fire dragon of extremely high quality. Even though she disliked the sect and her mother was just a commoner, the sect still established a high-level academy for her to retire in.
By the same token, if the Dai family knew that there was still a 'leftover' White Tiger bloodline, they would definitely capture him and bring him back.
"Heh." Lu Feng chuckled. He finally understood what Zhu Zhuqing was worried about.
If the Dai family came looking for him, they would most likely force him to 'recognize his ancestors and return to the clan.'
Then, because he was tied to Zhu Zhuqing, he would be implicitly drawn into the royal struggle. He guessed that he would only be able to accompany her to the battlefield in the future.
If he was unlucky, he wouldn't even know where he died.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's serious expression, Lu Feng felt a warmth in his heart. She was truly a kind girl.
"It seems that I have to disguise my identity." A bold plan gradually brewed in Lu Feng's mind.
"Miss Zhuqing, have you finished speaking? Now it's my turn." Lu Feng's lips curled up slightly, his expression still calm and composed.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing frowned.
She had said so much, yet Lu Feng seemed not to understand a single word?
However, her good upbringing prevented her from questioning him. Instead, she nodded and said softly, "Yes, go ahead."
Lu Feng coughed lightly and said loudly, "There are two things. First, I do not possess twin martial souls."
As he spoke, Lu Feng's White Tiger martial soul manifested, and dense soul power erupted from his body. Unlike his usual martial soul manifestation, this time he silently circulated the [Holy] and [Light] attributes within him.
In an instant, his entire body emanated a holy aura, and golden light shone from his eyes.
Almost simultaneously, Zhu Zhuqing's Spirit Cat martial soul manifested instantly. Her eyes glazed over, her body trembled involuntarily, and she subconsciously took a few steps closer to Lu Feng.
"This!" Zhu Zhuqing suppressed the tremor in her heart, her eyes quickly regaining their clarity.
"This is my White Tiger martial soul, a natural martial soul," Lu Feng said nonsensically with a straight face, without batting an eye.
"Then what about your fist spirit?"
Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly, asking doubtfully, "But didn't Xiao Wu say your spirit was a fist? And you used that fist spirit in that grove of trees."
Lu Feng shook his head, his third and second spirit rings lighting up simultaneously.
His muscles swelled again, a dense golden light covering his entire body. At the same time, a powerful energy wave erupted from his mouth, instantly shattering a distant house.
"These are my last two spirit skills, White Tiger Vajra Transformation and White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, paired according to the Dai family's ancestral teachings. However, my first spirit skill wasn't White Tiger Protective Shield."
As he spoke, Lu Feng's tone became somewhat melancholy, "At that time, I somewhat resisted my true identity. My first spirit ring didn't hunt tiger-type spirit beasts, but rather a Mirror Beast."
"Mirror Beast??"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's doubts deepened. A premonition suddenly arose in her heart; Lu Feng was probably hiding a great secret.
Lu Feng withdrew his White Tiger spirit, and at the same time, a dense black light covered his hands.
The next moment, the [Knuckle Duster] martial soul appeared on his hands.
"This Mirror Shadow Beast's soul ring grants me a special ability: the ability to copy other people's martial souls."
With that, Lu Feng spread his hands, displaying his Knuckle Duster martial soul to Zhu Zhuqing.
Lu Feng had already prepared this explanation, waiting for his martial soul's secret to be revealed so he could fool others.
His cheat ability absolutely couldn't be exposed. After all, this ability was too overpowered and could easily make him a target.
The existence of the Mirror Shadow Beast perfectly explained this.
In the original story, Oscar gained the ability to copy other people's martial souls after hunting a Mirror Shadow Beast.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't study the martial soul itself, but stared at Lu Feng's soul rings for a long time. She could sense that Lu Feng's three soul rings were exactly the same as when he possessed the White Tiger martial soul.
"Can you use this ability infinitely?" Zhu Zhuqing asked doubtfully.
Lu Feng shook his head helplessly. "I experimented with this soul skill out of curiosity. I didn't expect it to have limitations. With my current strength, I can only copy one."
"Of course, I might be able to copy it again when my strength increases," Lu Feng added.
He didn't rule out the possibility entirely, leaving himself a way out.
"Ah, this!" Zhu Zhuqing sighed heavily.
If what Lu Feng said was true, then his soul skill was wasted. If
he copied a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul or a Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't believe how far Lu Feng would grow in the future.
"Wait a minute."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly thought of something, scrutinizing Lu Feng from head to toe, and said, "You're not lying to me? Is it possible that your Martial Soul was originally a Finger Tiger, and then you copied a White Tiger Martial Soul?" Zhu Zhuqing
didn't believe that anyone in this world was that stupid.
If Lu Feng's original Martial Soul was just a low-level Finger Tiger, and then he copied a powerful White Tiger Martial Soul, this explanation seemed more reasonable to Zhu Zhuqing.
Lu Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"Isn't it said that 'big breasts, no brains'?
Why isn't this girl playing by the rules?"
Lu Feng didn't answer, but instead bent over and began to breathe heavily. His shoulders rose and fell with each breath, and gradually, a powerful aura gathered around him.
As Lu Feng circulated his cultivation technique, a fierce gale gathered around him. His martial soul switched to the White Tiger, and a deafening roar erupted from its mouth.
"This is!" Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed in surprise as she watched Lu Feng's actions.
"The White Tiger War God Manual!"
Immediately, a sinister soul power spread out from beneath her feet.
The moment the black and white energy converged, the entire village was instantly engulfed in endless gales.
The chilling aura, like the fingers of death, gently glided across every inch of the land. All life in the village began to wither; green leaves fell, flowers closed, and a desolate scene unfolded.
Several rats struggled painfully in the gale, unable to resist the chilling aura, and collapsed to the ground in despair. The flesh began to dissipate under the corrosive influence of the aura, eventually turning into bones.
Gradually, the entire village fell into a deathly silence, leaving only Lu Feng and Zhu Zhuqing standing there quietly.
"What is this move of yours?" Lu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he said uncertainly, "The Netherworld Technique?"
Although he didn't recognize this technique, the bright purple fragment on the ground already bore its name.
The Dai and Zhu families had cooperated for thousands of years, and their collaboration wasn't limited to just a single Soul Fusion Technique.
Their signature techniques were also complementary dual cultivation methods.
Light and Netherworld, two completely opposite attributes, could be perfectly fused together, multiplying their power.
The Dai and Zhu families had been inheritors of this tradition for generations. Even if they couldn't use the Soul Fusion Technique, as long as the two families joined forces, they were an overwhelming force against other Soul Masters.
It was precisely because of this that the Dai family was able to overpower other families and ascend to the throne of the Star Luo Empire.
Moreover, the Star Luo Empire was different from the Heavenly Dou Empire. The Dai family wielded absolute power in the Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded heavily. "That's right, it's the Netherworld Technique."
She raised her head, staring intently at Lu Feng,
feeling the pleasant sensation emanating from his martial soul. At this moment, she finally believed that Lu Feng was born with the White Tiger Martial Soul.
Martial souls could be copied, but cultivation techniques couldn't be faked.
"The second thing you wanted to talk about, your true identity, if I'm not mistaken, you're a prince of the Dai family who was lost to the outside world, right?" Zhu Zhuqing slowly asked.
The White Tiger War God Manual was a cultivation technique that only the main branch of the Dai family could learn.
The events of the past two days were more unbelievable to Zhu Zhuqing than anything she had witnessed in the past ten years.
Lu Feng smiled gently and stroked Zhu Zhuqing's hair. "Not bad, you're really smart."
Smart? You practically answered before she even spoke!
Feeling Lu Feng's warm hand, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly.
At the same time, her worries disappeared.
If Lu Feng were just an ordinary person, his White Tiger Martial Soul would be a burden, even a death sentence.
But if he were a prince,
the Star Luo Royal Family wouldn't make things difficult for him; in fact, they would nurture him with great effort.
"Can you tell me your story?" Zhu Zhuqing asked gently.
"Yes."
On the hillside, Lu Feng and Zhu Zhuqing nestled together.
A gentle breeze blew, and the setting sun cast its last rays, turning the sky crimson.
"That person left behind a worthless cultivation technique and never came back," Lu Feng said, his voice choked with emotion, his fists clenched.
Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Lu Feng's slightly reddened eyes and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
At this moment, Lu Feng stood up, arms outstretched. "I only have one goal now. No matter how much effort I put in, one day I will return and crush that person under my feet."
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"This throne, he, Dai Weisi, can sit on it; Dai Mubai can sit on it; why can't I, Dai Si, sit on it?"
