Chapter 270 - 21

Chapter 21 Hunting Spirit BeastThe White Jade Scale Beast is a solitary Spirit Beast that resembles a pangolin, with its back covered in heavy, smooth, jade-like scales, hence its name, the White Jade Scale Beast.This Spirit Beast can absorb moonlight, store it within the scales on its back, and release it when it encounters danger.Just like right now.The White Jade Scale Beast, with its four limbs pierced through, realized the malice the humans before it held, and the scales on its back immediately erupted with a blinding light, enveloping Chu Feng and the others.Under the illumination of this radiance, Chu Feng felt his perception and speed slow down significantly; even a simple action like raising his hand felt as sluggish as a marionette.Outside the range of the light, a fallen leaf drifted slowly down from above their heads, completely unaffected.Until it entered the area covered by the light, its originally slow speed immediately seemed to freeze in place.This was the White Jade Scale Beast's life-saving Spirit Ability—Slow Light.In the simulation, the first spirit ring of Chu Feng's Moon Martial Soul was a White Jade Scale Beast of about five hundred years, and the Spirit Ability obtained was Slow Moon.When he releases his first Spirit Ability, a bright moon will appear in the sky; wherever the moonlight shines, any existence will be affected, and both speed and the five senses will be greatly weakened.Do not underestimate the simplicity of this ability's effect; one must know that with Chu Feng's strength at his Peak, this first Spirit Ability could weaken an opponent's speed and the five senses by as much as ninety percent.In a duel between experts, every breath and every instant is crucial; even a momentary sluggishness is extremely fatal.Judging by the size of the scales, this White Jade Scale Beast before him has a cultivation of about four hundred and sixty years, which is just right for Chu Feng's first spirit ring.But to absorb a spirit ring, one must kill the Spirit Beast personally.A dark, dim light shone from Gui Mei's body, and in an instant, countless ghost shadows rushed out from him, shielding Chu Feng and Hu Liena.The light emitted by the White Jade Scale Beast was blocked by the ghost shadows, and that sense of sluggishness quietly dissipated."Xiao Feng, this Spirit Beast is very suitable for your Moon Martial Soul."Yue Guan, who was by his side, spoke at the right moment and handed him a dagger.Chu Feng nodded and took the dagger.The White Jade Scale Beast, pinned to the ground by Yue Guan, lost the protection of its Slow Light. Like fish on a chopping block, it began to struggle frantically as it saw Chu Feng approaching step by step.But clearly, its fate had already been sealed.Chu Feng did not hesitate; with a swift strike of his hand, the razor-sharp dagger sliced through the White Jade Scale Beast's neck as easily as a hot knife through butter.After letting out one last painful death cry, the White Jade Scale Beast completely lost all signs of life, and a yellow spirit ring slowly rose up."Start absorbing the spirit ring; I will act as your Protector."Yue Guan stood with his hands behind his back beside Chu Feng, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings.Gui Mei released his spirit power pressure without reservation. In an instant, a flock of birds was startled into flight in the forest, and countless Spirit Beasts shrieked and fled in a scramble.In an instant, within a radius of several miles centered around them, no other Spirit Beasts remained.Chu Feng sat cross-legged before the spirit ring and began to release his spirit power, guiding the spirit ring to fly toward him.Within the spirit ring lies the spirit power of the Spirit Beast, so the process of absorbing the spirit ring is also the process of absorbing spirit power.A spirit ring of over four hundred years was already the limit for Chu Feng at this time.His current body had nothing special about it; aside from his high talent for spirit power, he was no different from an ordinary six-year-old child, so the absorption process was not easy.That surging spirit power was like a wild horse off its leash, rampaging violently within his body.Fortunately, Chu Feng had rich experience in absorbing spirit rings from the simulations, so he already had countermeasures for the current situation.He mobilized his mental force and began to guide the spirit power, making it follow his correct spirit power circulation method to gradually digest it within his body.The entire process of absorbing the spirit ring lasted until evening, at which point Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes.He raised his hand, and the Moon Martial Soul appeared in his palm.At this moment, a yellow spirit ring was circling the bright, pristine moon.Chu Feng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. Although the process of absorbing the spirit ring was arduous, the sense of exhilaration that followed was so addictive that he wanted to experience it every time.He genuinely felt that the spirit power within his body had become much more profound.Now, after absorbing the White Jade Scale Beast, Chu Feng's spirit power Rank had broken through from the original Rank 16 directly to Rank 18.During the time he was absorbing the spirit ring, besides Yue Guan acting as Protector, Gui Mei had not been idle either.He had taken Hu Liena and also hunted a Spirit Beast of a suitable age.At this moment, Hu Liena was not far from Chu Feng, her eyes tightly closed as she absorbed her spirit ring.Seeing this, Chu Feng did not speak to Yue Guan but instead entered the Cultivate state once again.Time passed in a flash; by the time he woke from his Cultivate state, it was already the next morning.Hu Liena had already finished absorbing her spirit ring, and having been tired for the whole night, she was resting under a tree.Yue Guan was keeping watch not far from the two of them.After a while, seeing Hu Liena slowly wake up, he stood up and said: "Let's go, we are returning to Spirit City."Half a day later, Spirit City.Once they returned to Spirit City, Yue Guan and Gui Mei went to the Supreme Pontiff Palace to report the results of this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest to Bibi Dong, while Chu Feng returned to his room.But just as he pushed open the door, he saw a figure standing by the window, a head of silver hair looking somewhat dazzling in the sunlight."Grand Elder?"Chu Feng was slightly stunned; he had not expected this mysterious Grand Elder to suddenly appear in his room.Gu Yuena turned her head, her stunningly beautiful face devoid of any expression.She walked toward Chu Feng step by step, her figure swaying as she moved, like a goddess descending to the mortal world, exuding an air of holiness.Gu Yuena stopped in front of Chu Feng and looked down at him slightly.Chu Feng could not fathom this Grand Elder's intentions and silently took a step back.He could not help but think of yesterday's speculation.Could it be that the body he Transmigrated into really belonged to this woman before him? Otherwise, how could he explain why this Grand Elder, whose strength was a mystery, was so concerned about him?Suddenly, Gu Yuena reached out, lifted Chu Feng's chin, and a look of scrutiny appeared in her eyes.After a moment, she said: "You do look quite alike, but why have you become like this?""What does the Grand Elder mean by that?" Chu Feng asked, frowning.Gu Yuena withdrew her hand, but her gaze remained fixed on Chu Feng. After a moment, she asked: "Do you know who I am?"Hearing this question, Chu Feng was silent for a moment, then tentatively answered: "Mom?""...?"A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Gu Yuena's calm face.Then, her expression darkened, and an invisible Aura emanated from her body."Chu Feng, it seems that not only has your body become that of a child, but your brain has also regressed, hasn't it?"
