Chapter 62: Chapter -62 Fifty thousand year old bones.
Chapter -62.
Elder Xuan's face was still a bit flushed from earlier, and it took him a moment to regain his composure. He quickly shifted gears and asked Elder Mu with genuine curiosity, "Hey, Elder Mu, that kid Chen Feng has been meditating down in the underground world of the Golden Tree for a whole month. What's he been up to?"
The other elders from the Sea God Pavilion leaned in, eager to hear Elder Mu's thoughts. With a sigh that hinted at both surprise and admiration, Elder Mu replied, "Oh, it's more than just a little progress in his cultivation. That kid really blew me away! After a month of deep meditation, he actually developed a soul skill that's unique to his martial soul. Its power is on par with my Dragon Emperor's Breaking Evil and Dragon Emperor's Shock Domain."
"What!!!"
The room erupted in disbelief. Elder Xuan, Elder Zhuang, and Elder Song were all taken aback. Could it really be true that there was such a genius out there?
With a warm smile, Mu En, lounging comfortably, added, "That kid is truly a prodigy. I have a feeling he's destined for greatness in this era; the future is definitely bright for him."
Deep down, Mu En thought to himself that Chen Feng's talent was beyond anything seen in ancient times—he had the potential to become a god!
Once the initial shock wore off, the elders regained their composure. Elder Xuan muttered, "That kid Chen Feng is really something else."
The others nodded in agreement, still processing the news.
Then, Mu En said, "I'm thinking of picking out a high-quality soul bone from the Sea God Pavilion's treasury to give to Chen Feng. What do you all think?"
Everyone, including Elder Xuan, Elder Zhuang, and Elder Song, agreed without hesitation.
Elder Song chimed in, "Absolutely! It's the perfect time to prepare a high-quality soul bone for Chen Feng. The sooner he integrates it, the better."
Elder Zhuang added with a smile, "The boost in physical quality from the soul bone will really help him with the soul rings he'll be integrating next. The higher the years of the soul rings, the more benefits he'll get. It's like a snowball effect—much better than those soul masters who don't have soul bones."
Elder Xuan scratched his head, "But we only have two high-quality soul bones that would suit Chen Feng: one is the 50,000-year Ice Cang Wolf King's torso bone, and the other is the 30,000-year Fear Demon Dragon's head soul bone."
Mu En made a decision, "In that case, let's go with the 50,000-year Ice Cang Wolf King's torso bone. It'll give Chen Feng a significant boost in physical quality, allowing him to absorb a 10,000-year soul ring beyond his level."
The other elders nodded in agreement.
Mu En instructed, "Xuanzi, please head to the Sea God Pavilion's treasury and grab the 50,000-year Ice Cang Wolf King's torso bone. Make sure to give it to Chen Feng when he returns to the inner courtyard after school."
Just then, Elder Song, who had been quiet until now, spoke up, "Speaking of physical quality, I just remembered that Xiao Tao's martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix, and she's a Soul Emperor. I wonder if Chen Feng can handle that. We all know how powerful a soul master with the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul can be. I'm a bit worried that the two of them might get carried away and wear themselves out."
The elders had been ready to wrap things up, but Elder Song's comment brought them back to the discussion.
"That's a very good point, Elder Song. Young people often don't know when to hold back, thinking they're invincible," Elder Zhuang said, nodding wisely.
Elder Xuan suggested, "Maybe we should tell them to take it easy?"
Elder Song shook her head, "That won't work. Even if we try, they'll find ways to sneak around it. We should give Xiao Tao more study tasks so she can focus on her studies and not tire Chen Feng out."
At that moment, Ma Xiaotao had no idea that Elder Song was worried about her wearing Chen Feng out and was planning to load her up with study tasks, which would soon keep her from spending all her time with him.
If Ma Xiaotao knew, she would surely be confused, thinking, "How is it my fault when it's clearly Chen Feng who exhausts me to the point of wanting to sleep?"
Elder Zhuang praised, "As expected of Elder Song, you're really impressive."
Mu En nodded in agreement, "Alright, let's go with that plan."
With that, the elders in the Sea God Pavilion's hall quickly dispersed.
...
A day flew by in no time. At noon, Chen Feng made a quick trip to Sea God Island, enjoyed a nutritious meal specially prepared for him by the academy, and after a short rest, headed back to the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy for his classes.
Finally, at four in the afternoon, the day's classes wrapped up. Just as Chen Feng was about to get up and leave, a girl with short golden hair and bright blue eyes appeared in front of his desk.
It was Ning Tian, dressed in a crisp white new student uniform. She was tall, almost 1.7 meters, with delicate features and fair skin. Though she hadn't fully matured yet, she was already quite striking.
A sweet smile lit up Ning Tian's face, and her light blue eyes were fixed on Chen Feng with excitement.
Ning Tian didn't have any romantic feelings for Chen Feng; her view on relationships was quite practical. As the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she had always been drawn to strong individuals.
However, it was hard to ignore that Chen Feng's impressive abilities made him stand out as her best option. He had easily outperformed all the male students in class and had even bested the twin stars of the outer academy, Xu Sanshi. Now, he had just entered the inner academy not long after starting school.
Ning Tian realized that compared to Chen Feng, it was unlikely she would find another man who could catch her interest in the future.
Chen Feng's excellence made Ning Tian a bit anxious, especially since it had been a month since he joined the inner academy.
Today, she had planned to invite him to lunch, but to her surprise, as soon as class ended, Chen Feng disappeared.
So, Ning Tian mustered her courage and decided to block him after school.
Behind her, Wu Feng stood quietly, her red hair covering her eyes, making it hard to tell what she was thinking.
The students in the new class nine noticed Ning Tian and Wu Feng blocking Chen Feng's desk.
Many male students let out heartbroken sighs, while a few wore cheeky grins.
Wu Yue and her friends whistled, clearly enjoying the scene.
Only the female students in the class looked less than pleased.
Chen Feng looked up at Ning Tian and asked, "Ning Tian, is there something you need?"
Ning Tian pulled out an invitation from a beautiful golden bracelet storage soul guide on her wrist.
With a bright smile, she said to Chen Feng, "Class monitor, this is an invitation to the Shrek City auction. Would you like to come with me?"
Just then, a tall, stunning figure in red appeared behind Ning Tian.
In a swift motion, a pair of delicate hands snatched the invitation from Ning Tian and tore it to shreds...
