Is there anything else special about it?
Man Yi asked instinctively.
By now, every time Tang Feng obtained a new Soul Ring, they felt compelled to ask.
The main reason was simple—
Tang Feng was far too monstrous.
Judging from the current Soul Skill alone, its characteristics didn't seem to match his overwhelmingly defiant nature.
"???"
The Ice Emperor was full of question marks.
As a Soul Skill derived from Life Blue Silver Grass, this purification effect was already extremely strong.
Ten seconds of control immunity, affecting up to three people simultaneously—
It was excellent for support and breakthrough operations.
"Divine bestowal?"
The Snow Emperor speculated silently.
Tang Feng's Soul Skills often underwent unusual mutations.
Such mysterious power likely came from the owner of the other divine force—
The God of Destruction.
Aside from deities,
she truly couldn't imagine who else possessed such supreme means.
"There is indeed something similar to a domain,"
Tang Feng admitted.
"It's called Divine Sanctified Land."
"Within its range, all negative states are removed, and all evil or corrupted forces are suppressed."
"The current range is ten meters and will expand as my soul power increases."
Tang Feng was already itching to find someone to test Divine Sanctified Land on.
Especially its terrifying restraining effect against Evil Soul Masters.
This Concept-Level Trait could be attached to Soul Rings for activation and wasn't limited to domain-type usage alone.
"Restrains evil forces?"
"Is it specifically designed to counter Evil Soul Masters?"
Star Cloud Douluo Man Yi pondered deeply.
This kind of special attribute was very likely tied to Tang Feng's subconscious intent.
After all, Tang Feng's parents had died at the hands of Evil Soul Masters—
And now he possessed a Soul Skill specifically designed to counter them.
Combined with another skill that restrained Soul Engineers,
he would undoubtedly sweep aside all opposition in the future.
"We should leave,"
Star Cloud Douluo urged.
Now that the Soul Ring acquisition was complete, it was time to return to Star Luo City.
Staying in the Extreme North always felt unsettling—
as if they were constantly being watched.
With the life essence radiating from Tang Feng's body, he was practically prime prey in the eyes of Soul Beasts.
They could still rely on the Ice Emperor's aura for suppression for now—
But who knew how long that would last?
"Let's go."
Tang Feng agreed.
Star Cloud Douluo carried him and flew straight toward Star Luo City.
Meanwhile, the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor were sent into Tang Feng's Spiritual Sea, where they helped him fuse the two divine origins.
When the Ice Emperor grew tired, the Snow Emperor took over.
When the Snow Emperor tired, the Ice Emperor replaced her—
a roundabout form of perpetual labor.
Since starting this "working life,"
The Ice Emperor cursed nonstop inside the Spiritual Sea, nearly charging out to beat Tang Feng senseless.
If not for the Snow Emperor holding her back, the Ice Emperor would've suffered a brutal beating.
After all, inside Tang Feng's Spiritual Sea, her remaining power was minimal.
Even in spiritual form, Tang Feng could freely manipulate the strength of his Concept-Level Traits.
Two days later,
the group returned to Star Cloud City.
After meeting Xu Jiawei, Tang Feng hurried back to the Princess's Residence.
"Elder Sister Jiujiu, it's not like I'm never coming back,"
Tang Feng said helplessly, poking Xu Jiujiu's soft cheek.
Earlier in the imperial palace, he had received a royal recommendation letter—
addressed to Shrek Academy.
According to Xu Jiawei,
Star Luo Advanced Soul Master Academy lacked any records on cultivating Extreme Martial Souls.
So Tang Feng was being sent to Shrek Academy—
to borrow the chicken to lay eggs.
"I'm just going to school,"
"Why are you acting like I'm defecting to Shrek?"
Tang Feng laughed bitterly.
There was no way he'd pledge allegiance to Shrek Academy.
At most, he'd assimilate Shrek into his own power.
If that didn't work—
He'd simply lead the Star Luo army and wipe out both the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy together.
After all, Xuan Zi of Shrek was a Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult.
That wouldn't count as killing the innocent.
"Xiao Feng, with your talent, how could Shrek possibly let you go?"
"At that time, there'll definitely be many beautiful girls surrounding you."
Xu Jiujiu said quietly.
Though she was an imperial princess and quite beautiful herself,
She never believed she was irreplaceable.
Tang Feng was a god's successor, refined and gentle—
Exactly the type young girls adored.
Back in the junior academy,
those troublesome admirers had only stayed away because of her identity.
"You should be more worried about the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor instead."
Tang Feng twitched his lips.
Nearby, the two emperors were leisurely sipping tea condensed from spiritual power, watching the scene unfold like spectators.
Judging by their expressions, they clearly found this more entertaining than working.
"What does that have to do with me?!"
The Ice Emperor nearly exploded.
She and Tang Feng were natural enemies—
They'd sparred privately more than a dozen times, and she lost every single one.
"Aren't you in contact with my sister?"
"Worst case, just have her keep an eye on me,"
Tang Feng shrugged.
His primary goal at Shrek Academy was to find Tang Ya
and help purify the dark attribute of her Martial Soul.
Her Blue Silver Grass carried the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
Perhaps, under Divine Sanctified Land, it could even undergo ancestral reversion.
After all, the Divine Sanctified Land purified all evil forces and removed all negative states.
For the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul,
impure bloodlines were nothing more than contaminants—
which could reasonably be considered negative states.
As for helping others?
That wouldn't come cheap.
At the very least, they'd need to pay a sufficient price.
"Tang Ya is your sister—of course, she'll side with you,"
Xu Jiujiu sighed.
"If not for Headmaster Yan being lucky enough to save her back then,
Would she have gone to Shrek Academy at all?"
"Why wasn't it a Star Luo Empire Titled Douluo who saved her instead?!"
Guilt surfaced in Xu Jiujiu's heart.
If she'd asked her brother back then to send a Soul Douluo to protect Tang Feng's parents…
Would they still be alive?
Tang Ya wouldn't be tied to Shrek Academy by Yan Shaozhe either.
The vast Star Luo Empire could easily afford to nurture Tang Ya.
"Alright, alright. Once Sister graduates, she'll come back,"
Tang Feng said gently, rubbing Xu Jiujiu's golden hair.
He would definitely bring Tang Ya back.
And that blond punk Bei Bei—
He absolutely needed a proper beating.
The guy had no shame at all—
joining the Tang Sect just to chase girls and becoming its senior disciple.
Even Tang Feng himself had never joined the Tang Sect.
He'd been resistant to it since childhood.
After his Martial Soul Awakening,
he'd been taken away by Wang Xian'er because of his extreme life attribute and brought to the Star Luo Empire.
To this day, Tang Ya still believed he was cultivating under Wang Xian'er.
"Then it's a deal—pinkies swear, no breaking it for a hundred years!"
Xu Jiujiu extended her little finger.
Tang Ya was currently in her fourth year—
at most three more years before graduating from Shrek's outer courtyard.
Given her talent, entering the inner courtyard was nearly impossible.
"I promise."
Tang Feng hooked her pinky.
His journey to Shrek Academy also had another purpose—
The Golden Ancient Tree, to comprehend the power of life.
The Golden Tree embodied extreme light and life attributes,
which could greatly assist his cultivation of Life Blue Silver Grass.
It was Wang Xian'er herself who had suggested Shrek Academy—
precisely because of the Golden Tree's existence.
"When you come back,"
"Your sister will give you a surprise."
"The kind you like."
Xu Jiujiu leaned close to Tang Feng's ear, her voice like a devil's whisper—
irresistibly enchanting.
"Let's just hope Elder Sister Jiujiu doesn't regret it then,"
Tang Feng said softly, pulling her onto his lap with an arm around her waist.
He wasn't the type to suffer losses—
There was no way he'd let Xu Jiujiu take control so easily.
