Chapter 42 The Most Passive Moment
"My condition is very simple, or rather, there's only one main point," Lin Feng said slowly. "First, I will absorb your Golden Crow True Fire and purify it, then I will feed back the purified essence to you. This process will not damage your original fire; on the contrary, it will help your true fire advance even further."
He paused, looking directly at Wu Ming: "My condition is that I will establish a sect centered around fire-attribute soul masters in the future. At that time, I will need to invite you to serve as an elder of the Hall of Worship."
"A sect?" Wu Ming raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then nodded decisively. "As long as it's not a heretical sect or violates my principles, I can agree."
"You can rest assured about that, senior sister," Lin Feng said firmly. "What I want to establish is a sect that stands upright in the sunlight and will never do anything dark or dirty."
"Yes, that would be best." Wu Ming was clearly satisfied with the answer, and her expression relaxed somewhat.
"Well then, before we begin, I need a little bit of your blood as a catalyst," Lin Feng said, taking out a small, transparent crystal bottle and handing it over.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Ming took the bottle, gathered her soul power at her fingertips, and made a clean and decisive stroke in her palm.
Crimson blood immediately gushed out, carrying faint golden specks, and soon filled a small bottle.
She handed the bottle back without changing her expression.
"Let's begin on this lake."
Lin Feng put away the blood vial and took a step forward. Ice flames silently spread beneath his feet, quickly condensing into a wide and solid ice path that stretched straight towards the distant surface of Seagod Lake.
At the same time, a powerful aura far exceeding that of an ordinary Soul Master rose from Lin Feng's body.
One yellow, one purple, and then, surprisingly, two deep, inky black spirit rings—
A Soul Master with four Soul Rings and a terrifying configuration of two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings!
"You look only twelve or thirteen years old, yet you're already a four-ring Soul Master and possess two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings?!"
Wu Ming had seen many prodigies in the inner courtyard, and at this moment she couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim in surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
She suddenly realized, "I remember now—your name! You're Dean Yan's newly accepted personal disciple!"
Previously, Wu Ming had only vaguely heard rumors and hadn't paid much attention. But now, seeing this terrifying soul ring configuration with her own eyes, combined with Lin Feng's special abilities, she was truly shocked.
The seemingly handsome and gentle young man before her possessed a strength and secrets that likely far exceeded her initial expectations.
"Senior, you're a forgetful person, it's not a big problem."
"I remember now."
After they finished speaking, they stopped exchanging pleasantries. In a short while, they found themselves on the distant surface of Poseidon Lake.
The surrounding lake was deep and tranquil. As always, the air was filled with the vast moisture and pure primordial energy of heaven and earth. It was also secluded enough to be the perfect place to carry out the dangerous and important experiment that was about to take place.
With a slight thought, Lin Feng unleashed a burst of chilling, white Xuanbing Spirit Flame from his palm, silently seeping into the deep lake below.
"Click, click-clack—"
A sickeningly faint freezing sound came from beneath the lake's surface.
In just a short while, Lin Feng had carved out a wide ice cave several meters below the surface of the lake.
The ice walls were crystal clear, gleaming with a faint blue light. The entrance was smooth, leading to the tranquil, deep blue space below.
Wu Ming peeked into the deep entrance, then turned back, his golden eyes glancing at Lin Feng with a half-smile, a playful curve to his lips: "Junior, you specially built this ice house—could it be that you're planning to keep a mistress hidden away? Or perhaps you're saving money on opening a hotel?"
"What are you talking about, senior? I'm not well-educated, so I really don't understand. As for money, I don't lack that. It's just that this ice cave can absorb the overflowing flames, so it won't easily damage the surrounding objects," Lin Feng honestly replied.
"Haha," Wu Ming chuckled, taking a small step closer and whispering in Lin Feng's ear, "Junior, you're so innocent—I'm getting more and more satisfied with you, Junior."
Lin Feng maintained an innocent smile, but he had already figured it out in his heart.
It seems that the "Saint" in this "Golden Crow Saintess" should probably be replaced with the "leftover" in "leftover woman of advanced age."
Wu Ming, that old cat, has already set his sights on him, that naive little mouse.
This proactive and straightforward conversation left Raymond Lam speechless.
The two descended into the ice cave.
The space was wider than expected, and the ice walls emitted a soft, ethereal blue glow, filtering the sunlight from the lakebed into a hazy hue.
Without any preamble, Wu Ming released his Martial Soul with a single thought.
The standard six-ring Soul Emperor configuration—one or two yellow rings, two purple rings, and two black rings—emerged from her.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of dazzling golden wings suddenly unfolded behind her, and the blazing Golden Crow True Fire, like flowing molten gold, instantly enveloped her entire body.
The intense heat swept over her, and her simple clothes turned to ashes on the spot under the terrifying flames.
Lin Feng's breath hitched.
Playing this big? This senior's style is even more unconventional than he expected.
His gaze was fixed, and he subconsciously swallowed.
Wu Ming's long, golden hair cascaded down, framing a bright yet spirited and beautiful face.
Beneath her slender neck were breathtakingly graceful curves. Her skin, illuminated by the interplay of her own golden flames and the ethereal blue glow of the ice wall, resembled a meticulously sculpted work of gold, every inch of which was perfectly proportioned. It was so dazzling that one dared not look directly at it, yet could not look away.
"Junior, haven't you had enough of watching from the shore?" Wu Ming seemed quite satisfied with his reaction. Instead of being annoyed, she chuckled and her voice carried an undisguised urging and teasing tone. "Come and devour your senior's true fire."
"Senior, I can't wait to see what surprises you have in store for me!"
"Senior, I meant no offense, then—I'm sorry." Lin Feng composed himself, suppressed his distracting thoughts, and walked a few steps to her until they were only a step apart, almost able to feel the completely different temperatures emanating from each other.
He calmed his mind and silently began to circulate the Burning Technique, attempting to guide the pure and domineering Golden Crow True Fire that enveloped her.
"Such polite and formal manners aren't really to my taste, senior," Wu Ming said with a mischievous grin, noticing his cautious and even somewhat awkward demeanor.
Wu Ming unexpectedly reached out and grabbed Lin Feng's somewhat bewildered wrist, then without saying a word, wrapped her arms around his slender waist.
The instant their skin touched, Lin Feng felt an astonishingly smooth and scalding heat emanating from his palm—
"That's more like it," Wu Ming felt his hand stiffen instantly and his body temperature rise. With a smug look of triumph, she lowered her head and breathed softly into his ear, "Relax, senior isn't really going to eat you—at least, there's no rush to eat you now."
Time slips away silently.
One hour, two hours —
"call-"
Lin Feng exhaled a long breath of hot, stale air, lying on the ice, his body drenched in sweat.
Wu Ming had already changed into a clean and neat new outfit, her long golden hair was tied up again, and she looked radiant and refreshed.
She looked down at Lin Feng lying on the ground, a wicked smile playing on her lips.
"Junior, not bad at all." Her tone was light and cheerful, with undisguised satisfaction. "After these rounds, my soul power has increased by two levels, and even my primordial true fire is more refined. Your method is indeed amazing."
"It's good that you've improved, senior sister," Lin Feng replied listlessly. This was probably the most passive special training he had ever experienced.
His gains were equally astonishing. He successfully devoured and condensed the Golden Crow True Fire Origin, and his Fire Lotus Martial Soul successfully acquired its fifth soul ring, officially entering the Soul King Realm with his soul power reaching level fifty-three.
