In fact, Jiang Xiaofeng had arrived earlier. He wanted to see if Hu Liena would drink it. Of course, it would be best if she did. After all, who could predict what would happen next?
When he saw Hu Liena drink it, Jiang Xiaofeng stepped forward.
Looking at Hu Liena hanging on him, Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't help but laugh and cry, while Yan was furious, and Xie Yue showed an apologetic expression.
"Alright, I brought you water, why are you crying?"Jiang Xiaofeng said.
"They forced me to drink beast blood, it was disgusting!"Hu Liena sobbed.
"I saw it!"Jiang Xiaofeng responded.
"You saw it? Then why didn't you come out and help me? Are you still my brother, Feng?"Hu Liena asked.
"Of course I am, but beast blood is disgusting, though sometimes it's necessary to save your life."Jiang Xiaofeng explained.
"As long as you're here, I'm not afraid!"Hu Liena said.
"What if I'm not here?"
"I don't care, they bullied me, you go teach them a lesson!"Hu Liena retorted.
Mo Bot shook his head helplessly. This Holy Maiden completely changed when the Holy Son was around. When the Holy Son wasn't there, she wasn't this dependent.
Jiang Xiaofeng patted Hu Liena's back and said, "Come down, I brought a lot of food for you."
Hearing "food," Hu Liena finally let go.
Jiang Xiaofeng pulled out a mountain of food from the Sea of Rising Moon, and Hu Liena's eyes sparkled.
Mo Bot shook his head helplessly. Originally, he wanted them to focus on cultivation, but now everything was disrupted because of the Holy Son.
"Holy Son, this isn't right!"Mo Bot said.
Jiang Xiaofeng replied, "It's fine, they've been eating and crying for the past few months, and they're not in a life-or-death situation. There's no need for that. I know what you're thinking, don't worry, I've got it covered."
Mo Bot nodded. He trusted Jiang Xiaofeng.
Hu Liena heard the conversation, holding the food Jiang Xiaofeng bought for her. She glared at Mo Bot, clearly disagreeing with his view.
Jiang Xiaofeng handed a few sets of light armor to Yan and Xie Yue.
After they changed into the new clothes, they finally looked a little better.
Hu Liena, eagerly, said, "Brother Feng, what about mine?"
Jiang Xiaofeng took out a set of inner armor and outer armor. Yan and Xie Yue's sets only cost a few thousand Soul Coins, but Hu Liena's cost 50,000 Soul Coins. The difference in price was obvious, and the quality was immediately apparent.
Yan enviously said, "Brother Feng, our light armor looks like street goods. But look at Liena's, the craftsmanship, the quality, I'm so jealous!"
Hu Liena, happily, said, "What, don't like it? This is what Brother Feng bought for me, although the color is not great, I like it!"
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "The color isn't great, but in the Death Canyon, bright colors would actually be a disadvantage. For your safety, I chose this set!"
Hu Liena smiled blissfully and said, "Thank you, Brother Feng, I'll go change now!"
There was a tent in the camp, specifically for Hu Liena.
After a short while, Hu Liena returned, looking even better in the new clothes, though her face was still a little dirty. After all, the Death Canyon didn't have much water.
"Brother Feng, do I look good?"Hu Liena asked.
Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied, "Of course, you've always looked good, just don't use your soul skill to charm me, I'm not falling for it."
Hu Liena pouted. Every time she tried to charm Jiang Xiaofeng, he would always see through it, and her charm didn't work on him at all.
"Hmph, you're no fun, not even a little!"Hu Liena grumbled.
Jiang Xiaofeng asked, "Master Mo Bot, how have things been these past few days?"
Mo Bot nodded and said, "It's fine, but it's a bit chaotic without you. I'm still adjusting things!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Don't rush it. I'll be going out frequently for the next few days. You must cooperate well, especially you, Liena and Xie Yue. You're siblings, so you should be able to form a martial soul fusion technique, right? Didn't Master Mo Bot mention that last time? Have you tried it?"
Hu Liena said, "Brother is too stupid. The fusion technique always fails. But he and Yan seem to be getting somewhere!"
Jiang Xiaofeng was a bit surprised. He didn't expect Hu Liena and Xie Yue to fail, but Xie Yue and Yan were actually making progress. This was unexpected.
Mo Bot sighed and said, "It's a pity. No matter what method we use, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden can't use the martial soul fusion technique. Technically, Xie Yue and you should be able to, but why can't your martial souls merge?"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because I have twin martial souls!"
Mo Bot nodded. Perhaps that was the reason. After all, there were very few people with twin martial souls, let alone those capable of martial soul fusion techniques.
"I'll keep researching it. If it doesn't work, then forget it."
Hu Liena puffed her cheeks. She wanted to perform a martial soul fusion technique with Jiang Xiaofeng, but her excellent soul, the Demon Fox, seemed to be rejected by his weapon soul. No matter what, they couldn't merge.
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "I'll stay here for three days, then leave for a few days, and return. My mission isn't complete yet!"
Hu Liena was curious. What mission could be so mysterious that Jiang Xiaofeng had to leave so frequently?
"Brother Feng, what is this mission? It seems so secretive?"Hu Liena asked.
Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Of course it's a secret mission, don't worry about it. I'll return once it's completed."
"Oh, aren't you going to take me to see it?"
Jiang Xiaofeng gave Hu Liena a glance. "Take you to see me mess up? Don't even think about it."
During the three days, Jiang Xiaofeng and the others jointly hunted a 5,000-year-old soul beast. The main reason was that Mo Bot wanted to study them to see if a martial soul fusion technique could be triggered, but unfortunately, there was no progress.
"Take it slow, we have time!"Mo Bot said.
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and buried his head in the book in his hands.
Thus, Jiang Xiaofeng spent three days in the Death Canyon, then three days in Black Corner City, running between the two places.
Fortunately, Tiger and his three companions were there to assist, or Jiang Xiaofeng wouldn't have had it so easy.
A strange person appeared at the Black Corner City Soul Arena. Every time he fought, he didn't attack, only relied on his body to withstand the opponent's attacks.
At first, he was just an ordinary Great Soul Master, but later, he became one of the best Great Soul Masters, and even Soul Emperors joined in.
He never won a single match, and his Iron Soul Badge recorded over a hundred losses, which was still increasing.
At first, he lost once a day, but later, he lost three times a day.
He was known as the "Strongest Free Victory Mask" at the Soul Arena.
Because whenever someone faced the Masked Man, they were guaranteed to win, and what used to be a not-so-popular personal bet quickly became a sensation. Everyone wanted to claim a victory over him.
As for Jiang Xiaofeng, he didn't just stand there to take a beating. His ability to withstand blows improved with each round. Great Soul Masters were no longer enough to help him level up, so he began to face Soul Emperor-level opponents.
Originally, he thought it would only take three to six months to break through, but it ended up taking half a year without a breakthrough, even though his soul power had already reached level 30.
The Iron Soul Badge recorded nearly 300 failures, setting a new record for losses at the Soul Arena, and the number was still rising!
