The Soul Hunting Forest is located 400 miles Northeast of Nuoding City. There are many such forests in the Tian Dou Empire, and this one is the closest to Nuoding Academy.
The Spirit Beasts in it were all raised by the Tian Dou Empire, they are all low-Rank Spirit Beasts, the highest not exceeding 10,000 years, and 1000-year Rank Spirit Beasts were rare in the forest with 10,000 years being the rarest, most of the beasts here were 100 year old Spirit Beasts though.
After two days, Chen Feng finally arrived in the Soul Hunting Forest.
"We need a Defence System Spirit Master. Their Rank must be higher than 20! We pay 8 Gold Coins!" Called out a hunting team on the side.
"..."
At the fair outside the forest, many people were yelling, all wanting to organize a group to hunt Spirit Beasts. This is also the best way to hunt Spirit Beasts, as a group since it's safer, but Chen Feng did not have this in mind.
Before he came, he had already bought the things he wanted to buy and walked directly through the bazaar to the entrance of the Hunting Forest.
The entire Soul Hunting Forest was fenced up, and there were soldiers patrolling regularly. There were also law enforcement teams in the forest, they checked warrants from time to time, making it very hard to sneak into the forest without a warrant.
Chen Feng wore a mask on his face so that people cannot see his face clearly and don't know his exact age.
The soldier in charge of inspection at the entrance stopped Chen Feng. When Chen Feng took out the token that Grandmaster gave him, the soldier's face suddenly showed a respectful expression and he quickly gave way.
After Chen Feng entered the Soul Hunting Forest, he did not rush to go deeper, instead, he silently observed the environment of the forest.
After walking for two hours, Chen Feng encountered his first Spirit Beast, a Snow Wolf which was less than 100 years old, though it was at least 90 years old.
"AoWooo!" the Snow Wolf howled, its green eyes firmly fixed on Chen Feng, leaving saliva dripping along its tongue and onto the ground, it clearly saw Chen Feng as food.
"Whoosh—" The Snow Wolf rushed out very fast and came in front of Chen Feng in an instant.
However, at this moment, the Black Iron Staff in Chen Feng's hand suddenly swung out and hit the wolf's head. The Snow Wolf flew upside down, it slid on the ground, raising a billowing dust cloud, it finally hit a tree before coming to a stop.
"What! A Spirit Beast's body can also explode attributes!?" Chen Feng looked at the several attribute light balls on the ground in astonishment, that just made it easier for him to get attribute balls and grow stronger rapidly.
After fusing with the attribute light spheres on the ground, Chen Feng walked to the Snow Wolf. His staff had shattered the skull of the wolf, it was obvious it would die soon.
"Boy, this Snow Wolf is my prey." At this moment, a loud voice sounded, Chen Feng turned to look and saw a tall man with a scar on his face approaching.
Although Chen Feng wore a mask on his face, his short figure showed that he is not very old.
"Why do you say that it is your prey?" Chen Feng asked.
"I said it is my prey, then it's my prey." The scarred man sneered. His sneer made the scar on his face look more hideous.
"You can take it if you want." Chen Feng surrendered.
"Hmph, leave your valuables while you're at it and I'll spare your life." The man ordered.
"Here you are." Chen Feng took the package off his body and threw it not far in front of Scar Face.
"It turned out to be such a weakling." The Scar Face said with disdain and walked over to pick up the package.
At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly violently slammed his staff at the head of the Scar Face. Although caught off guard, the man instinctively ducked to the left.
However, Chen Feng also reacted accordingly. Although Scar Face had escaped the blow and dodged a fatal hit, he was still wounded on his right shoulder where the staff had hit him.
"Kacha-ah!" The broken bone and the screams of Scar Face sounded almost simultaneously.
Without stopping, Chen Feng waved the Black Iron Staff in his hand and continued to wave it at Scar Face, but Scar Face rolled around and dodged the attacks continuously.
"Martial Spirit Possession!" The Scar Face quickly summoned his Martial Spirit. His Martial Spirit turned out to be a Basalt Tiger, his muscles swelled, his hands turned into tiger claws, and his skin took on a rock-like texture, appearance and toughness.
"Boy, I'll tear you apart!" Scar Face yelled angrily.
Chen Feng saw three Spirit Rings on Scar Face's body and instantly knew that the other party was a Spirit Expert, but his Spirit Rings were white, yellow, and yellow, which was not the best configuration and did not maximise combat strength.
His body strength has reached the Rank of a Battle Expert and coupled with having rank 10 Spirit Power that has been compressed many times making it higher quality than the opponent's, gave him a chance of winning.
"1st Spirit Ability, Rushing Tiger."
The 1st Spirit Ring on Scar Face's body lit up, he then placed his hands on the ground, as if he was a tiger and rushed towards Chen Feng.
"Ghost perplexing track!" Chen Feng did not choose to take the move head on, he instead chose to dodge, moving sideways, flashing to the sides, he took advantage of the environment to dodge strong blows and counterattack. After some time, Chen Feng swung his staff at Scar Face's injured right shoulder. The bones in Scar Face's right shoulder had been broken from his previous sneak attack. Thus, it was a weakness to exploit. And which idiot won't exploit his enemy's weaknesses in a life and death battle? Not him.
"2nd Spirit Ability, Profound Rock Shield!" Just when Chen Feng was about to hit Scar Face, the 2nd Spirit Ring on Scar Face's body shone and a shield made of rock stood in between them. The shield gave his enemy cover from his attack.
Chen Feng hit the shield with his staff and with a bang, the force from the counter shock sent Chen Feng back but the shield also shattered at the same time.
"3rd Spirit Ability, Profound Flame Tiger Claw!"
Chen Feng had just stabilised himself when Scar Face attacked again, his claws glowing red from the heat, just releasing those claws and touching a nearby rock had not only cut through the rock as if a knife cuts through butter but the hot knife had melted the butter too (I'm trying to say that scar face's claws are hot and sharp they cut through solid rock and melt it as well. Sorry if it's not clear).
Currently, Chen Feng couldn't dodge at all, he could only take the hot claws head on.
The tiger claw slapped the Black Iron Staff and sparks burst out from the clash between metal. Chen Feng's legs bent from the force and his internal organs were rattled by the huge after shock, a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.
"Hah!" Chen Feng yelled and suddenly used his strength to lift Scar Face away.
"Huhuhu-" Chen Feng knelt on the ground supporting his body with his Black Iron Staff and gasped for breath.
"Boy, you have no strength left do you?" Scar Face smiled grimly.
"You don't have much Spirit Power left either, right." Chen Feng wittily responded.
While speaking, Chen Feng calmly merged several attribute light balls around him that had dropped from the recent bout, it allowed him to recover some of his injuries and physical strength he'd spent.
"It's enough to kill you." Scar Face jumped up, and his tiger Claw patted at Chen Feng again.
At this moment, Chen Feng violently waved his staff at his enemy's head, caught off guard, the man could not react, his head cracked open like a pistachio does under overwhelming force and his brain splashed out.
Poor Scar Face did not even know how he died, he underestimated Chen Feng till the end. He did not foresee Chen Feng having strength remaining and him sneak attacking him in the last moment.
In the end, a Golden Ball of light exploded from Scar Face's body, but Chen Feng didn't have time to care about it at this time and began to vomit.
This was the first time he had killed.
After a while, Chen Feng felt better, and began to fuse the attribute balls on the ground. After they were all fused, his injuries recovered by about 80%.
Chen Feng looked at the last Golden Ball of light again.
