Matthew was silent.
Looking into the earnest eyes of the boy before him, his thoughts were in turmoil, and he couldn't speak for a moment.
Yes, with innate level one soul power, how could he change his fate if he didn't take a chance?
But Matthew thought of Locke, and ultimately couldn't bear it.
Locke had lived a lonely life, without any descendants. He
had finally adopted a child and treated him like his own, but now he was taking such a huge risk. What if something happened? He wouldn't be able to explain it!
The boy's tone and eyes were so firm. After thinking for a while, Matthew sighed deeply.
Such a firm will, knowing that he might die, but still doing it. If he didn't experiment, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
"Are you sure you've thought it through?"
Seeing Matthew relent, Yun Feng smiled and nodded.
"Yes, even if I die, I have no regrets!"
Matthew also smiled, and his eyes changed as he looked at Yun Feng.
He had lived in Notting City for so many years, witnessing many geniuses emerge and many arrogant individuals leave only to achieve nothing.
But Yun Feng felt completely different.
He even felt that Yun Feng was just missing an opportunity, an opportunity that would transform him into a dragon.
"Alright, then write a will. In case I die, at least give your grandfather some closure!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Feng immediately pulled out the letter he had prepared earlier from his pocket.
Matthew was momentarily stunned to see the young man had everything prepared.
After a moment of silence, Matthew approached Yun Feng and said with a warm smile,
"Little Feng, let me test your current physical strength."
Yun Feng didn't hesitate and immediately extended his hand.
Matthew grasped Yun Feng's arm, squeezed it, and carefully felt it.
Yun Feng's physical body was indeed far superior to others of the same level, even reaching the level of a Great Soul Master. He couldn't help
but sigh inwardly.
"How much suffering must one have endured to train to this level!"
The strength of one's bones can completely reflect a Soul Master's basic information.
After letting go, Matthew asked Yun Feng again.
"Little Feng, have you thought it through? If you're sure, we'll set off tomorrow, and I'll personally help you obtain the Soul Ring!"
Yun Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "Master Matthew, I've already made myself clear. I don't want to wait until the road is blocked before thinking about forging a path. What I want to do is to struggle while I still can and change my predetermined fate!"
Matthew smiled, a very happy smile, and looked at Yun Feng approvingly.
"If you really succeed, I'll benefit from your good fortune too! This is a golden opportunity to go down in history, a great thing that will change the entire Spirit World!"
"Then you'll be a master of the Spirit World, not that Yu Xiaogang theorist!"
As Matthew Nobunaga said this, Yun Feng, a little embarrassed, grinned at him. "You flatter me. I don't even know if this will succeed yet. And may I make a small request? Even if it succeeds, please don't report it to the Spirit Hall."
Matthew Nobunaga looked at Yun Feng with surprise, not understanding why.
Yun Feng explained, "If it succeeds, proving the theory is correct, then my advantage will be gone. So could you please keep it a secret for a year?"
Hearing Yun Feng's request, Matthew Nobunaga fell silent.
Actually, he wanted to refuse Yun Feng, after all, he was a member of the Spirit Hall, and his duty was to report all useful intelligence to the higher-ups and protect the people.
Yun Feng's request clearly conflicted with his duties.
However, thinking of how much effort Yun Feng had put into this seemingly unattainable pursuit over the years, her heart softened.
After a moment of silence, she still refused Yun Feng.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Feng, I can't do this for you. If you really succeed, I will definitely report it to the Spirit Hall. It has nothing to do with anything else; it's simply a matter of loyalty to the ruler, a basic principle of being a human being!"

Upon hearing Matthew's words, Yun Feng didn't show any anger.
Instead, he compared Tang San and Yu Xiaogang to Matthew. The comparison
only made them seem even more despicable than the villains themselves—using the Spirit Hall's name to slander it, and
even ultimately destroying it.
It was outrageous! They were like
someone who eats from a bowl and then curses it. "It's alright, Master Matthew, you did the right thing. I was narrow-minded. I'm also a member of the Spirit Hall; how could I do such a thing!" Hearing Yun Feng's self-reproachful voice, Matthew smiled slightly. He was afraid Yun Feng wouldn't understand some things; these things couldn't be hidden. The Spirit Hall's influence spanned the entire continent. Anyone with a discerning eye could easily find out about your unusual behavior with a little investigation. Therefore, some things couldn't withstand scrutiny. Those who treat others like fools are the fools themselves! "So, Xiao Feng, have you decided what kind of spirit ring you want to acquire?" Matthew was actually probing. To have progressed from level one to level ten in spirit power, and with such a well-developed physique, he assumed Yun Feng must be incredibly knowledgeable, given the finite nature of human energy. However, to Matthew's surprise, Yun Feng answered without hesitation, "Bloodthirsty Grass." "I need Bloodthirsty Grass!" Bloodthirsty Grass is a plant-type spirit beast, generally not very old, as the Spirit Hall regularly clears out its known habitats. This is because Bloodthirsty Grass grows and reproduces incredibly fast, only slightly weaker than Blue Silver Grass. Their growth isn't just about age; they also attack surrounding spirit beasts and humans, absorbing their spirit power to enhance their own strength. Moreover, Bloodthirsty Grass typically grows in large patches. To control this spirit beast, not only the Spirit Hall but also the spirit beasts themselves are doing the same, not to the point of extinction, but certainly not to make their lives easy. Moreover, its reproduction method is even simpler. The seeds drift with the wind, taking root and sprouting wherever they land. With just one plant, within ten years, that entire area will be covered by it. This is precisely why Yun Feng needs it. This soul beast perfectly complements his martial soul's characteristics, allowing him to devour and reproduce. Furthermore, there's no concept of "evil soul masters" in the first installment of the game, so he won't be universally reviled. As long as Yun Feng is careful and discreet, he should be fine. When Matthew heard Yun Feng mention this soul beast, he frowned slightly before relaxing. He knew Yun Feng's martial soul was a mutated Blue Silver Grass, though he wasn't sure what abilities it had gained after the mutation. However, seeing the soul beast Yun Feng was hunting, he vaguely guessed something and added, "Little Feng, I know you really want to become stronger, but you must remember to always stay true to yourself and not let temporary power cloud your judgment!"
