This is a Bloodthirsty Grass over six hundred years old. With Yun Feng's physique as a Great Soul Master, he should be able to withstand it, and it's only a little over a hundred years old.
Actually, if Yun Feng could train a little longer, he might be able to absorb one that's even older, but the effect wouldn't be significant.
Soul power is the most important factor in stimulating physical strength.
Without sufficient soul power, no matter how much you train, it's useless, and it might even leave hidden injuries!
There are countless ordinary people in Douluo Continent.
There are those who try to defy fate through body tempering, but according to the records of the Spirit Hall, even if they train to the extreme, they can only exchange blows with Great Soul Masters.
Their physical strength is only similar, and they can't go any further.
This is the rule of this world.
So Yun Feng is very open-minded and doesn't get stuck on this!
Every cloud has a silver lining. Rather than focusing on such a small improvement, gaining strength is more important for Yun Feng now.
Moreover, everything about his Martial Soul is based on developing its characteristics. It
's a trade-off. Even
a primary school student can do the math!
But the most difficult thing now is how to kill this Bloodthirsty Grass.
Although not inside, there were still many Bloodthirsty Grasses around, and even Matthew dared not set foot there carelessly.
Once inside, who knew what the consequences would be? Bloodthirsty Grasses were no ordinary soul beasts.
While not top-tier, their sheer number was astounding.
The moment Matthew entered, Yun Feng suspected he would instantly turn to dust.
Looking at this vast sea of blood, Matthew slowly removed the custom-made robe assigned to him by the Spirit Hall.
His clothes couldn't withstand his spirit possession.
Seeing this, Yun Feng proactively stepped forward and took Matthew's robe, obediently standing aside and watching quietly.
Seeing this, Matthew smiled and said to Yun Feng,
"Little Feng, since you're so eager for strength, then let me show you what a real soul master's battle is like!"
Yun Feng's burning gaze brought Matthew immense satisfaction.
The role of a soul master is reflected in these small details of life!
Vanity is one of the most important factors driving development!
After Matthew finished speaking, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and a phantom of a lion engulfed in flames appeared behind him, causing the surrounding soul power to surge.
It transformed into a red light and directly merged into Matthew's body.
The red light spread, his fur rapidly grew, and the muscles beneath his clothes swelled quickly. Claws and fangs sprouted from his hands and mouth, respectively.
Two soul rings appeared on his body.
Yellow, yellow!
"First Soul Skill, Fiery Lion!"
To Yun Feng's astonishment, Matthew's body swelled even more. He understood why Matthew had removed his robe. The yellow soul rings shone brightly, instantly enveloping Matthew.
Under the influence of the light, Matthew's entire body ignited with golden flames, radiating terrifying heat.
After Matthew unleashed his first soul skill, he was like a fire god descended to earth.
The plants near him emitted a scorching aura.
The younger Blood-Devouring Grasses seemed to wish they could grow legs and run away by the roots.
It was hot, unbearably hot!
Even under Matthew's deliberate control, Yun Feng felt uncomfortable, as if his entire body was about to burst into flames.
The Blood-Devouring Grasses nearby also swayed.
"Shh—shh—shh,"
came the sound of leaves rustling.
Matthew didn't intend to confront them head-on. Taking advantage of the Blood-Devouring Grasses' natural fear of fire and their lack of reaction time, he rushed into the thicket.
He pulled up the Blood-Devouring Grass that Yun Feng had previously set his sights on and ran back.
Because he was worried that it would suck his blood, Matthew even used his claws to cut it off at the base.
The roots snapped, releasing a crimson sap that reeked of blood.
Matthew immediately realized something and shouted to Yun Feng,
"Xiao Feng, run! These Blood-Devouring Grasses are going berserk!"
Indeed, the smell of blood greatly stimulated the ferocity of the Blood-Devouring Grasses,
making them think prey had fallen into their territory and causing them to rush in to steal a share of the blood.
"Boom—"
The previously calm sea of blood suddenly surged into a tidal wave,
crashing towards Yun Feng and Matthew like a tsunami!
At this moment, the terrain Yun Feng had previously observed came in handy.
He had been paying attention since entering, and facing this sudden situation, even before Matthew's warning, he had already grabbed his clothes and run a considerable distance. This
caused Matthew to pause for a moment when he called out, looking at Yun Feng's retreating figure, realizing he had overthought things.
He then circulated his soul power, channeling it into his legs, and regained his speed.
Watching the two depart, the Bloodthirsty Grass slowly calmed down.
This was the drawback of plant-type spirit beasts—they could only be passively hunted.
Of course, it was also related to the Spirit Hall's regular clearing of this Bloodthirsty Grass patch.
If there were any over a thousand years old among them, that would be a real problem.
Yun Feng, who was running ahead, was quickly caught up by Matthew.
Even with Yun Feng's excellent physical abilities, he couldn't compare to a Great Spirit Master who had been immersed in cultivation for many years!
The two soon stopped.
Yun Feng looked back at the calmed crimson tide, his heart pounding.
It was terrifying.
Even with Matthew's spirit, which was extremely effective against Bloodthirsty Grass, he could only run away in the face of such numbers.
Although he ran, Yun Feng still had to maintain his facade.
"I'm sorry, Master Matthew, I..."
Seeing Yun Feng's remorse, Matthew smiled and gave him a thumbs up, his goodwill towards him increasing slightly.
"Running is human nature. Recognizing the mistake of abandoning your teammates shows true character. Besides, you did the right thing. If you hadn't run ahead, I would have had to go through the trouble of looking after you."
"Continue to be cautious; it won't harm your future!"
Yun Feng nodded, looking at the Bloodthirsty Grass in Matthew's hand. The Bloodthirsty
Grass wasn't large, resembling the willow branches Yun Feng had seen in his previous life.
All its branches were less than half a meter long.
It was still tightly wrapped around Matthew's arm,
seemingly determined to bite off a piece of his flesh.
Seeing this, Matthew used brute force to tear it off and threw it on the ground.
Yun Feng, with good judgment, handed him a robe.
Matthew took the robe, putting it on as he spoke.
"Now is the best time for you to absorb a spirit ring. Plant-type spirit beasts are unique in that even if you injure a vital point, they won't die immediately. Now it's powerless to resist, you can make your move!"
Yun Feng nodded upon seeing this. He wasn't afraid, but still extremely cautiously took the small knife he had bought earlier, stood a few meters away from the Bloodthirsty Grass, and threw it.
Since coming to this world, his control over his body had become exceptionally good, so his short-distance throwing was very accurate!
