Chapter 63: System – Ye Feng Is Envious Again
"External spirit bone?"
Oscar opened his eyes just in time to hear Ye Feng's words. "Boss Ye, are you saying that the thing behind me is an external spirit bone?"
"Yeah."
Ye Feng nodded firmly.
External spirit bones were even rarer than normal spirit bones—and they had the potential to grow. Unlike standard spirit bones, which were static in power, external spirit bones could evolve, making them one of the most treasured items in the spirit master world.
If the odds of obtaining a standard spirit bone from a spirit beast were one in a thousand, then the odds of acquiring an external spirit bone were not even one in ten thousand.
Among spirit masters, there was a ranking of the most coveted treasures, known as the Spirit Master Dream List. External spirit bones had always held the second place, just below the mythical 100,000-year spirit ring, which was almost impossible to obtain.
Ye Feng looked at Oscar with envy and muttered in his heart, Damn… I didn't expect Oscar to score an external spirit bone. His spirit power is only in the 30s, so this thing is gonna have a crazy growth potential. Gotta admit… I'm jealous as hell.
𝙳𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙳𝙾𝙽𝙶!
[SYSTEM NOTICE]
"The system senses that the host is envious of Oscar's external spirit bone. The system expresses dissatisfaction and rewards the host with an external spirit bone: [Purple Cloud Wing]."
[Purple Cloud Wing]: Created from the wings and spirit of the fifth-level magical beast, Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle.
---
"Purple Cloud Wing?"
Ye Feng was momentarily stunned before breaking into a grin. "No way… I actually got Purple Cloud Wings. System, this is the Douluo Continent. Can the Purple Cloud Wings evolve as my spirit power increases?"
"Yes, host."
Ye Feng almost laughed out loud. Hell yeah.
The speed of the Purple Cloud Wing was insane, but the best part? It could evolve. Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder just how powerful it could become in the Douluo Continent.
As soon as the system message disappeared, Ye Feng felt a warm sensation on his back. Two branches began to grow. Unlike Oscar, who had screamed in agony, Ye Feng felt no pain—probably because the system's rewards didn't come with suffering.
He stretched his arms, feeling the new power surging within him.
Then, turning to Oscar, he smirked.
Hah. You're not the only one with wings now.

Zhao Wuji placed a hand on Oscar's shoulder, grinning. "Damn, kid. You actually landed an external spirit bone. Alright, now that you've got your third spirit ring, it's time for us to head back."
"No."
"No."
"That won't work."
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ye Feng spoke at the same time.
They exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's thoughts.
Zhao Wuji frowned. "Why?"
"My spirit power just hit level 30," Tang San replied.
Zhao Wuji nodded, then turned to Xiao Wu. "And you?"
"My spirit power reached level 40," Xiao Wu said, but her gaze drifted toward Ye Feng, silently asking for help.
As a transformed spirit beast, Xiao Wu couldn't obtain her spirit rings the normal way. If she didn't go through the process of 'hunting' a spirit beast, her secret would be exposed.
Ye Feng caught the silent plea in her eyes and gave her a reassuring smirk. Don't worry. I'll handle it.
Zhao Wuji stroked his chin in thought. Then, he looked at Ye Feng. "What about you? Don't tell me your spirit power hit level 50?"
Ye Feng grinned confidently. "Hate to break it to you, but yeah. I just hit level 50."
Silence.
Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar stared at Ye Feng in disbelief.
They were all stuck in the 20s and 30s, while this guy was already knocking on the door of Spirit King (50+ level).
Oscar, still feeling grateful for Ye Feng's help, patted his shoulder with a sigh. "Boss Ye, man… Comparing myself to you is just depressing. I'm barely at level 32, and you're about to hit 50? Damn. Congratulations, though. You're about to be a five-ring Spirit King."
Ma Hongjun, who had also received help from Ye Feng, joined in. "For real, Boss Ye, that's insane. Congrats!"
Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Feng's partner in the Nine Heart Cats duo, crossed her arms and smirked. "Sometimes, I seriously wanna crack open your skull and see what the hell is inside your head."
Ye Feng chuckled.
Looking around, he noticed that among the Shrek Seven Devils, five of them—Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun—had a very high favorability toward him.
The only two who remained distant?
Dai Mubai and Tang San.
Especially Tang San.
Even though they worked together, Ye Feng sometimes felt like Tang San's attitude was colder than a stranger's.
Shaking off the thought, he smirked. "Save the congratulations for when I actually get my fifth spirit ring."
Oscar grinned. "Alright, Boss Ye."
For Oscar, even though Ning Rongrong seemed to like Ye Feng, he had already accepted it. He wasn't a combat spirit master, after all. And honestly, he respected Ye Feng.
Zhao Wuji clapped his hands. "Alright then. Let's get Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ye Feng their spirit rings. Training continues!"
---
As the Shrek Academy team continued to explore the Star Dou Forest, Zhao Wuji turned to Tang San.
"What's the limit you're aiming for with your third spirit ring?"
Tang San shot a glance at Oscar and replied, "At least 1,300 years."
Originally, he had wanted to ask for 1,700 years, since Oscar had managed to absorb a 2,000-year-old spirit ring without dying.
But, finding a 1,700-year-old spirit beast was a gamble. So, to play it safe, he set his requirement at 1,300.
Zhao Wuji nodded, then turned to Xiao Wu.
"What about you?"
"Huh?"
Xiao Wu froze, her eyes blinking in confusion.
"Yeah, you," Zhao Wuji said. "Tang San wants a 1,300-year-old spirit beast. What's your requirement for your fourth spirit ring?"
Xiao Wu hesitated. She was a spirit beast herself, and she didn't actually need to hunt anything for her spirit rings. But to avoid suspicion, she answered:
"10,000 years."
"WHAT?!"
Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Zhao Wuji all snapped their heads toward her.
A 10,000-year spirit ring?!
The maximum safe absorption limit for a fourth spirit ring was 5,000 years.
And she wanted 10,000?!
