Chapter 596 - ddg5

Now that the battle for the Fire Crystal had ended, [Fire Immunity] was no longer particularly useful.

[Ding! [Fire Immunity] has been replaced with [Fire Crystal].]

Trait Replaced.

[Fire Crystal (Purple): You can condense a special crystal within your body. The Fire Crystal can absorb and refine other Fire Crystals or soul cores to evolve further.]

Lin Feng looked at the enormous Fire Crystal from the Flame Beast King and swallowed it whole.

Instead of condensing one himself, he chose to use the one from the beast directly.

As the crystal dissolved into energy and merged into his body, a powerful surge of soul power coursed through his meridians.

A moment later, his blood surged violently, and he spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Feng circulated his soul power, guiding the energy from the Fire Crystal toward his dantian.

Meanwhile—

Lin Ye activated his Martial Soul Avatar and began absorbing the Fire-Heart Seven-Leaf Flower. As he infused soul power into the herb, its petals began to fall one by one.

Each falling petal tempered the fire within his body.

Lin Ye felt the transformation taking place and was overjoyed by the results.

By the end of the day, with the last petal fallen, he had completely absorbed the Fire-Heart Seven-Leaf Flower.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar."

A golden flame surged around him. Though it didn't reach the intensity of Lin Feng's Ultimate Fire, it had a unique feature—its power increased under sunlight.

At high noon, its strength could surge by up to fifty percent.

That was nothing to scoff at.

The upward curl of Lin Ye's lips revealed how satisfied he was with his progress.

Retracting his martial soul, Lin Ye leapt into the air.

He hovered in front of Lin Feng's room, sensing that he was still in the process of absorbing the Fire Crystal, so he turned to find Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

"Senior Dugu, Yan'er."

"After absorbing the immortal herb, not only has the quality of my flames changed, but my soul power increased by two ranks. I'm now at Rank 84."

Lin Ye smiled broadly as he shared the news.

"Uncle Lin, where's Lin Feng?"

Dugu Yan peeked behind him, puzzled.

"When I came out, he was still absorbing the Fire Crystal's energy. Should be finishing up soon."

On Lin Feng's side—

He could clearly sense that a condensed, tangible Fire Crystal had formed within his body.

Though it wasn't identical to a true soul core, it was even more refined.

And because the crystal was taken from a living Flame Beast King, the compatibility during absorption had been near perfect. There was no rejection from his soul power or fire affinity.

After half a day—

The internal crystal had fully solidified.

Lin Feng then took out the Fire Crystal he'd obtained from the ten-thousand-year Flame Beast earlier and used it to further energize the core.

A haze of red dissipated as all the energy within the crystals merged into a single red stream, flowing into his body.

"Whew—finally done! And I've broken through to Rank 50!"

"Though the ten-thousand-year Fire Crystal only gave a slight boost, most of the breakthrough came from the Flame Beast King's crystal."

Lin Feng let out a deep breath and stood up.

Though the Flame Beast King's crystal had been primarily used to form his inner core, even the residual energy had been enough to raise his soul power by two ranks.

A Rank 50 Soul King might not mean much across the continent—

But Lin Feng felt more secure than ever.

After all, the crystal in his body had been condensed by a Flame Beast King who had devoured hundreds of others.

The soul power it held was immense.

And now, it was his.

If Lin Feng unleashed it, he could replicate a blow from the Flame Beast King itself.

Of course, that one strike would completely drain the crystal's stored soul power, requiring a full month to replenish.

Additionally, the crystal's hardness was incredible—it could even withstand a full-force attack from a Titled Douluo.

"He's out!"

Sensing the energy fluctuations vanish from around the wooden house, Dugu Bo turned to Lin Ye and Dugu Yan.

A second later, Lin Feng arrived, following Dugu Yan's aura.

"Lin Feng! You did it!"

"How are you feeling?"

Dugu Yan rushed up, eyes full of concern.

"Yeah. I've absorbed both Fire Crystals. My soul power is now at Rank 50."

"My body feels fine."

Lin Feng replied calmly to the three of them.

"Amazing!"

Dugu Yan beamed, giving him a big thumbs-up.

"Incredible!"

"A twelve-year-old Soul King! Feng'er, your cultivation speed is unbelievable!"

Dugu Bo praised him again and again.

While Rank 50 was only an initial milestone, once Lin Feng added his fifth ring, the soul power leap would be significant.

What Dugu Bo didn't know was that Lin Feng hadn't used the Fire Crystal to raise his soul power—but to form a Fire Crystal within himself.

"I wonder what's happening at the lava zone now."

Lin Feng suddenly grew curious.

With the Flame Beast King dead, the soul masters' battle must have left heavy casualties.

"No idea. Let's go take a look!"

Dugu Yan stepped forward and grabbed Lin Feng's hand.

No matter what he did, she wanted to be by his side.

"Lin Feng, now that you've absorbed the Flame Beast King's crystal… could someone detect it?"

Lin Ye asked, concerned.

"They won't."

Lin Feng's voice was firm.

Though he had formed the crystal within his body, its compatibility was so high that it left no detectable traces.

"Uncle Lin, what are you even worried about? Grandpa's still around!"

Dugu Yan placed her hands on her hips, stepping up to defend Lin Feng.

"Hahaha, let's go already. Why are we still standing here?"

Dugu Bo cut through their chatter with a laugh and urged everyone onward.

At the center of the lava zone—

The battlefield, soaked in blood after the Soul Master war, was now a silent, corpse-littered wasteland.

Dugu Yan looked at the carnage before her and gulped nervously.

"Was this… a beast tide?"

Her voice trembled.

"No idea. When Grandpa left, there weren't this many Flame Beasts."

"…Who's there?!"

Dugu Bo turned sharply, his gaze cold and sharp.

A battered and burned Liu Erlong emerged from behind a rock.

"Senior Dugu?"

"What are you doing here?"

Her face was pale and tired, but her eyes were full of surprise.

"What, I'm not allowed to show up now?"

"Tell me—what happened here?"

Dugu Bo released his Titled Douluo aura, instantly suppressing Liu Erlong.

"I-I didn't mean it like that, Senior."

"After you left, there was a sudden beast tide—we don't know why it started."

"Everyone started fighting to grab Fire Crystals and soul bones."

"Someone even dug up a ten-thousand-year soul bone. I, Fire Dragon, and two Heaven Dou Academy elders chased after them."

"But I got injured during the chaos and came back to see if there were any remaining crystals."

Liu Erlong explained respectfully.

"A ten-thousand-year soul bone?"

Dugu Bo's interest was instantly piqued.

"There's a ten-thousand-year soul bone?! Grandpa, I want it!"

Dugu Yan clung to Dugu Bo's arm excitedly.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, Yan'er. That soul bone is yours."

Once they pinpointed the location, Dugu Bo led Lin Feng and the others in that direction without hesitation.Behind them, Liu Erlong stared longingly at Dugu Bo's departing figure.

If only she had the strength of a Titled Douluo, would she have been injured? That soul bone might've already been hers.

So many had died for it in vain.

But now that Dugu Bo had gone after it, there was no doubt—it was his.

Dugu Yan… what luck she had. A powerful Titled Douluo grandfather who treated her so well.

In the wilderness, following the chaotic battle over the soul bone, bodies lay strewn across the ground.

Qin Ming stood trembling, staring in horror at the mountain of corpses before him.

Among them lay the lifeless body of Yan Que'er.

Of the seven teachers who had come with him, only five—including himself—survived.

And that was only thanks to the two Soul Douluo elders who had fought tooth and nail to protect them.

Why had it come to this?

All he'd wanted was to contest a soul beast—how had it turned into a bloodbath?

So many soul masters, acting like madmen, killing each other for a single soul bone?

It was the first time he'd witnessed such senseless slaughter since joining the academy.

Now, Qin Ming, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin huddled together, breathing heavily, eyes full of vigilance.

Fire Dragon stood not far away, clearly injured and exhausted, but staying close.

And encircling them—

A sea of Soul Kings, Soul Emperors, Soul Sages… and even a notorious gang of rogue soul masters that had joined mid-battle.

They were surrounded.

"Hey, old man Bai. Whether you keep the soul bone or not, you better pay me the one million gold coins you promised,"

Fire Dragon said wearily, glancing sideways at Bai Baoshan.

The Fire Leopard Sect, led by Huo Yanbao, had long been driven out by focused attacks. Their sect master had been forced to flee in disgrace, leaving the soul bone behind.

Now, that ten-thousand-year soul bone was in Bai Baoshan's hands.

"Hmph. Don't worry. You'll get what you're owed."

Before Bai Baoshan could respond, the hot-tempered Zhi Lin cut in with a grunt.

"Bai Baoshan! You people from Heaven Dou Academy better hand over the soul bone right now!"

A Soul Sage from the opposing side shouted arrogantly.

"Hah. Just a Soul Sage, and already talking big?"

Zhi Lin sneered at the man with clear disdain.

After all, a ten-thousand-year soul bone was worth millions of gold coins—everyone wanted a piece of it.

"Elder… maybe we should give it up."

"Even if we keep it, the losses will be too great. Is one soul bone worth so many lives?"

Qin Ming looked down at Yan Que'er's corpse beside him. Struggling with guilt, he stepped forward and spoke hesitantly.

"…What did you just say, Qin Ming?!"

Zhi Lin's fury erupted as he barked at him.

If they hadn't stayed behind to protect him and the others, they'd have escaped with the soul bone long ago.

What good were these Soul Sages and Kings in a real fight?

Qin Ming froze, clearly unprepared for such a harsh outburst.

But it was simple.

Heaven Dou Academy wasn't Shrek. Nor was it a tightly bound family clan. The teachers had no blood ties—just professional roles.

In short—

They stayed out of kindness.

And now he was telling them they hadn't done enough? That they should surrender the soul bone to protect everyone else?

Were they that close?

"No one will take the soul bone from Heaven Dou Academy."

"Spare me your righteous morality—power speaks louder than pity."

Zhi Lin snapped coldly, utterly disgusted.

Beside him, Bai Baoshan's eyes were filled with disappointment. Any plans he had to promote Qin Ming vanished on the spot.

"So… our lives mean less than a soul bone."

Qin Ming's eyes dulled. He seemed shattered.

The once warm Heaven Dou Academy suddenly felt so cold.

"If Director Fu were here… he'd never let a single one of us die…"

He mumbled quietly to himself.

Has this kid gone stupid?

Fire Dragon glanced sideways at him, curling his lip in disdain.

So what if a few Soul King teachers died?

Heaven Dou Academy didn't even pay them that much—at best, a few thousand gold coins each.

Now they had a ten-thousand-year soul bone?

That was a jackpot.

He was jealous just thinking about it.

"Well then, since you won't hand it over…"

"Don't blame us for taking it by force!"

"They're injured. Those Soul Douluo have already fought once and taken hits."

"This is our chance—everyone, attack!"

With that, cries of battle erupted again.

A group of Soul Sages who hadn't fought earlier—and were still in peak condition—launched the assault.

"Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul Avatar!"

The sky erupted in a brilliant cascade of soul skills—all aimed squarely at the group in the center.

Bai Baoshan and Fire Dragon scrambled to activate their own abilities and block the attacks.

Zhi Lin guarded the remaining teachers.

The field, once quiet, descended into chaos again.

At that moment, a figure appeared in the sky—Dugu Bo, in his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor form, descended like a divine judgment.

"Anyone who dares touch that soul bone… dies."

His cold voice thundered across the battlefield.

Everyone froze.

"It's Poison Douluo!"

"Didn't he leave?!"

"He has no shame! How dare a Titled Douluo call it 'his' soul bone?!"

Soul Douluo, Soul Sages—even the rogue bandits—felt like they'd swallowed shit.

They were so close, only to lose everything again.

"Your Excellency… you want the soul bone?"

"Don't forget—Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is backed by the royal family!"

Bai Baoshan trembled as he tried to argue.

"So what?"

"Aren't I part of the royal family too?"

That retort silenced him instantly.

Right. Dugu Bo was an official guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire.

With a flick of his finger, the soul bone flew straight into Dugu Bo's hand.

No one dared move.

This was a Titled Douluo. They weren't even on the same level.

And more than that—this particular Titled Douluo specialized in wide-area, anti-mob combat.

If he cast his ninth soul skill, not a single one of them would survive.

Once Dugu Bo secured the soul bone, the crowd fell into a deep silence.

All that fighting—and in the end, they'd gained nothing.

(TL/N - 😂😂)

Elsewhere—

"Yan'er, here's your soul bone."

"Lin Feng already has two. Now you'll have one too."

Dugu Bo winked at Dugu Yan and handed the soul bone over with a fond smile.

But before she could even react—

"Lin Feng, this is for you!"

Dugu Yan beamed as she handed it directly to Lin Feng.

"Yan'er, I can't accept this."

"Grandpa's right. You still don't have a soul bone. You should absorb it."

Lin Feng pushed it back with both hands.

Off to the side, Dugu Bo watched the two of them insist on giving it to each other.

His face darkened.

Fine.

Next time I find a treasure, I'm keeping it to myself for retirement."Aiya! Lin Feng, stop turning me down already."

"This Flame Beast's soul bone clearly isn't suitable for me."

"You're the fire-attribute soul master—it makes more sense for you to absorb it."

"If we ever come across a better soul bone in the future, just save that one for me."

Dugu Yan stuffed the soul bone into Lin Feng's hands as he continued to try refusing it.

"…Alright then."

"I'll save any good immortal herbs or soul bones I find next for you and Grandpa."

Lin Feng accepted the soul bone, looking at Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo with a complex expression.

"Mhm, good."

"In that case, Feng'er, go ahead and absorb it."

Dugu Bo stroked his beard. Thinking it over, he realized Dugu Yan's point was valid.

That soul bone from a fire-type beast really wasn't suited for her. He'd overlooked that.

Lin Ye watched his son receive another soul bone and was overjoyed.

At this rate, his son might become the soul master with the most soul bones in the continent's history.

Lin Feng once again sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and poured soul power into the soul bone to establish resonance.

A fiery red glow shot into his right arm.

And at that moment, an image flashed through Lin Feng's mind.

His existing right arm soul bone—True Dragon's Claw—materialized into a black, illusory divine dragon, staring intensely at the ten-thousand-year Flame Beast soul bone.

Strangely, the Flame Beast appeared docile under the divine dragon's gaze, as if submitting willingly.

Within moments, the ten-thousand-year soul bone had fully fused into Lin Feng's right arm.

He now had two right arm soul bones—True Dragon's Claw and Flame Convergence.

Lin Feng opened his eyes, stood, and slowly raised his right arm.

"Soul Bone Skill—Flame Convergence."

A faint image of the Flame Beast manifested above his arm. The ultimate fire surrounding Lin Feng condensed into his arm.

In the next instant—

A lotus-shaped fireball formed of ultimate fire blasted forward from his palm, its diameter spanning dozens of meters.

Wherever it passed, the earth was scorched barren, leaving a long, blackened trail behind.

In the distance, the fiery lotus exploded into a crater several dozen meters wide.

Lin Ye's jaw dropped in awe at the soul bone's might.

Even he would have to use real effort to block that attack.

"This Flame Convergence soul bone skill lets me gather both my own ultimate fire and ambient fire elements."

"At close range, I can condense it into melee strikes; from afar, I can launch lotus fireblasts like that."

Lin Feng clenched his fist and explained earnestly.

"Not bad, not bad! Now that the soul bone is absorbed, let's head deeper into the forest and find Feng'er's fifth soul ring."

Dugu Bo smiled and nodded, planning the next step.

"Wow! Lin Feng, you're really going to become a Soul King!"

"I still can't believe it!"

Dugu Yan exclaimed joyfully, skipping along behind Dugu Bo and Lin Ye.

"Senior, do you think Feng'er's rapid advancement could harm his body?"

Lin Ye asked with some concern.

"Honestly, I'm not entirely sure."

"After all, no one in history has ever leapt over ten levels in just a few days."

"Once he obtains his fifth ring, let's have him stabilize his soul power properly."

"I'll also prepare some nourishing tonics for him—he's looking a bit thin lately."

"Feng'er, once we're back, Grandpa will brew the same medicinal decoction he gave Yan'er when she was little, alright?"

Dugu Bo's tone was full of affection—then he paused.

"…Feng'er?"

"Eh? Where is he?"

"He didn't follow?"

Dugu Bo turned around, confused.

"I thought he was behind us the whole time?"

Lin Ye looked around, equally baffled.

From behind—

"You all were chatting so happily you forgot about me, didn't you?!"

Lin Feng's face was gloomy as he caught up and locked eyes with the group.

"Aiya, you're still back there?"

Dugu Yan hurried back and gently grabbed his hand.

"Hahaha!"

"Oh, Feng'er…"

"You've really got to turn off that self-made soul skill of yours when we're not fighting. I keep forgetting you're even here."

"I'm getting old—can't be blamed for being forgetful."

Dugu Bo walked over, chuckling sheepishly.

"…Yeah, yeah. I'll turn it off soon."

Lin Feng sighed, drained.

In his heart, he groaned:

That trait was insanely useful for stealth—but for day-to-day life?

Kind of a pain.

Maybe next time he'd look for a better one to replace it.

Spirit Hall.

Inside the grand hall, Bibi Dong sat on her throne with an air of regal composure.

At the center of the hall lay the corpse of the Flame Beast King.

"Your Holiness, we failed to secure the Flame Beast King's Fire Crystal."

"Judging from the burn marks, Elder Yue Guan and I suspect the culprit was a hidden fire-type Titled Douluo somewhere on the continent."

Gui Mei bowed deeply with a respectful report.

"I understand. You may leave."

Bibi Dong spared only a single glance at the beast's burned remains.

With a wave of her hand, she dismissed them without much concern.

Outside the hall—

"Old Ghost, you think the Pope didn't punish us because there really is a hidden fire-attribute Titled Douluo out there?"

Yue Guan asked, still relieved they weren't reprimanded.

He was now convinced their assumption was correct.

"Hmph. So what if they are?"

"A coward hiding in the shadows, stealing like a rat. In front of Spirit Hall, they're no more than a slightly larger insect."

Gui Mei's face was cold and rigid, clearly still bitter over their failure.

"If I ever find them… I'll grind them to dust."

Spirit Hall training grounds.

"Why?! Why did this happen?!"

Yan was hysterical, punching a training post with all his strength.

"That opportunity was right in my grasp! How did it just disappear?!"

"If I'd gotten that Fire Crystal, I could've surpassed Na Na and become the Holy Son!"

"Na Na would be mine!! AHHH!"

Boom—

With a final strike, everything within the training ground lay shattered.

At the heart of Sunset Forest.

As dawn broke, Lin Feng awoke early from his tent after a full night's rest.

Today was his trait refresh day.

"System—refresh traits."

[Ding! All traits refreshed.]

Lin Feng skimmed through the list—none had evolved or upgraded.

Permanent traits remained.

The new ones weren't as good as before.

One even stood out: [Friend of All Women.]

"…What the hell is this supposed to mean?"

Was he that kind of guy?Finally, it was time to refresh the [Wallflower] trait.

[Ding! [Wallflower] trait has been refreshed.]

[Honesty Breeds Friendship (Purple)]: When you treat others with honesty, they will return it in kind.

[X-Ray Vision (Purple)]: You can see through all things—be it a beauty's garments or solid metal.

[Wandering Beyond the Heavens (Purple)]: Your soul can leave your body to roam the heavens, traversing great distances instantly. However, you cannot attack or be attacked in this form.

Honesty Breeds Friendship?

That made it to purple-tier?

Even Dugu Bo's [Keeps Promises] was only white-tier!

X-ray Vision?

...Emmm.

System, is this your idea of testing character?

Though, I can't say it's off the mark.

Now this one—Wandering Beyond the Heavens…

Astral projection, infinite roaming, instant movement…

Damn…

That sounds even better!

"System, replace [Wallflower] with [Wandering Beyond the Heavens.]"

[Ding! Trait [Wallflower] has been updated to [Wandering Beyond the Heavens.]]

Way better than X-ray vision! This can pass through walls too.

After choosing, Lin Feng quietly closed his eyes.

A faint, translucent spirit drifted upward from his body and floated out of the tent.

Beside him, Dugu Yan lay sprawled inside her tent, lips softly smacking in her sleep.

Not far ahead were his father, Lin Ye, and his grandfather, Dugu Bo, keeping watch.

Lin Feng maneuvered his spiritual form closer.

"Clan Head Lin, how's the situation at the border lately?"

"Thanks for your concern, senior. The border has been stable recently."

"The Star Luo Empire is quiet for now, which gives me more time to be with Feng'er."

The two were engrossed in conversation, yet neither of them noticed Lin Feng's spiritual form.

He couldn't help but marvel.

Even a Titled Douluo with immense spiritual power can't detect my spirit form? This trait's stealth is insane.

With a thought, Lin Feng drifted toward the forest's outer edge. The scenery beneath flew by in reverse.

In mere moments, his spirit had traveled over a thousand miles.

When he finally paused, Sunset Forest had long vanished from view.

Lin Feng was thrilled.

This speed… it's like riding the wind as described in the ancient scrolls!

Following his earlier plans, Lin Feng flew onward for a few seconds.

He stopped again.

Ahead was a quiet village. At the entrance, three graceful characters were carved into a massive boulder:

Holy Spirit Village.

That's right—Tang San's home.

A cobblestone path wound through the center, lined with wildflowers and bordered by the gentle murmur of a nearby stream.

It was early morning. Wisps of smoke rose from a few homesteads, painting a scene of peaceful rural life.

Lin Feng soon spotted the village's only blacksmith shop.

There, slumped in a chair with a bottle of unfinished spirits dangling from his hand, was a rugged middle-aged man.

Tang Hao?

Lin Feng looked closer. Beneath the messy stubble were the marks of hardship and time.

He looked like a man who'd suffered greatly.

Back on his previous world, Lin Feng had felt sorry for Tang Hao. But now wasn't the time for sentiment.

"System, Trait Insight."

[Name: Tang Hao]

[Age: 49]

[Gender: Male]

[Innate Soul Power: Rank 10]

[Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer (Top-tier)]

[Soul Power: Rank 94]

[Traits]:

[Strict Father (White)]

[I Love Ring Detonation (Green)]

[Master Blacksmith (Purple)]

[Outstanding Talent (Purple)]

[Father of Destiny (Gold)]

I knew it. Tang Hao has at least one gold-tier trait.

"System, copy trait [Father of Destiny]."

Lin Feng decided to save it and consider replacing something else once he acquired a new soul ring.

Looking again at Tang Hao, Lin Feng decided to go a step further—refresh all his traits.

Tang San's growth in the future owed everything to Tang Hao.

Tang San had always believed his father was a drunk.

But growing up under traditional values, he still respected and took care of Tang Hao diligently.

That alone said something about Tang San's inner code.

Later, he would repeatedly showcase this "principled" self to others.

What he didn't know was how deeply Tang Hao loved him.

Tang Hao not only revealed his identity to Yu Xiaogang to ensure Tang San was well cared for, but also risked everything to rescue him from Spirit Hall and send him to the Slaughter City.

He had paved the entire path for him.

Without Tang Hao, would the so-called "Child of Destiny" still shine as brightly?

Time to act.

"System, refresh all of Tang Hao's traits."

With a wave, Lin Feng first checked the new replacement for [Strict Father]:

[Selfish (White)]: You care only for your own interests.

[Saintly Heart (White)]: You are compassionate and maternal to all.

[Apathetic (White)]: You are indifferent to others and ignore anything that doesn't concern you.

Lin Feng's gaze turned sharp and cold as he instantly chose [Apathetic].

Tang San, now your father truly will be indifferent toward you.

You keep playing your filial act—it'll be all on you from here.

Next was [I Love Ring Detonation], Tang Hao's signature battle method.

After some thought, Lin Feng replaced it with:

[Drunken God (Green)]: You love drinking. You are perpetually intoxicated.

Previously, Tang Hao drank to drown his guilt over Ah Yin, not out of actual desire.

But now, this new trait made him a genuine alcoholic—nothing more, nothing less.

Lin Feng left [Master Blacksmith] and [Outstanding Talent] untouched.

The other refreshed traits weren't soul-power related, so he had nothing better to swap them with.

Finally, he turned to the golden-tier replacement for [Father of Destiny]:

[Sharingan (Gold)]: Your eyes reflect the soul. After experiencing enough pain, they evolve.

[Hammer God's High Priest (Gold)]: You are the Clear Sky Hammer's divine representative, equal in status to Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi. You are qualified to initiate the Hammer God's Trials and may sacrifice yourself to unlock the ninth trial.

[Soul Bone Jackpot (Gold)]: When you kill soul beasts, you have a high chance to obtain soul bones. Killing any beast over 50,000 years guarantees one.

Wtf? Sharingan?!

Lin Feng was stunned.

There was no way he could let Tang Hao have that.

With Tang Hao's level of suffering, he could probably awaken the Mangekyō in a heartbeat.

Hammer God's High Priest…

Tang Hao might no longer be the "strict father," but Lin Feng had a gut feeling this would still end up empowering Tang San.

Now—Soul Bone Jackpot!!

Lin Feng's eyes gleamed.

What a trait!

"Ugh, if I'd known this was coming, I wouldn't have copied [Father of Destiny]…"

He sighed in frustration, staring longingly at the golden-tier traits.

Why could he only copy one trait per person?
