After hearing Mo Hui's explanation, Feng Xiaotian and Feng Yunfan exchanged glances, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Neither of them had expected that Mo Hui's reason for refusing would be this.
"Please feel free, both senior brothers. I need to continue cultivating."
With that, Mo Hui sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and began to meditate. Bobo also flew back into the air, soaring freely while keeping an eye on Mo Hui's movements.
Bobo's characteristic was Sharp Gaze. This characteristic was useless in the game, but in reality, it granted Bobo excellent eyesight, making the night seem like day.
It even allowed Bobo to see through some obstacles, including dust, rain, fog, and smoke, so observing the environment around Mo Hui was naturally not a problem.
Seeing Mo Hui enter meditation, Feng Xiaotian and Feng Yunfan exchanged even more bewildered looks.
After a long while, Feng Yunfan awkwardly said, "This junior brother... he has character!"
However, Feng Xiaotian snorted coldly, saying somewhat speechlessly, "This is character? Isn't he just foolish? He doesn't even want a martial soul fusion skill!"
Feng Xiaotian had spent countless efforts and time to create the Self-Created Soul Skill, Gale Devil Wolf Nine Consecutive Slashes. Now, there was a martial soul fusion skill far stronger than Gale Devil Wolf Nine Consecutive Slashes readily available, and the other party refused it using the reason that he needed to cultivate. How could he understand this!
"Alright, don't be angry. Perhaps this junior brother doesn't have time right now. We still have a long time at Shenfeng Academy. Maybe he'll change his mind later."
Feng Yunfan patted Feng Xiaotian's shoulder and comforted him.
"Hmph, I hope so."
Immediately, Feng Yunfan and Feng Xiaotian walked into the inner area, found a spot, and began to meditate and cultivate.
A week later.
"Huh~ He's still cultivating?"
Feng Xiaotian, who had been cultivating in the inner area of Hurricane Canyon for a week, came out and saw Mo Hui still sitting cross-legged in his original spot, not meditating. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"He must have gone out to rest and then came back in, right?" Feng Yunfan glanced and said casually.
After all, judging by Mo Hui's age, being able to cultivate in a place this close to the inner area was already astonishing. If he cultivated in such a place for a week, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?
However, Feng Xiaotian shook his head, his expression serious, and said, "No, look at his clothes and face. It doesn't look like he's rested."
Upon hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, Feng Yunfan carefully looked at Mo Hui again, and gradually, his expression also changed.
"Could it be that he really stayed here for a week?" Feng Yunfan couldn't help but ask.
"Hard to say."
Feng Xiaotian looked at Mo Hui with a serious expression and said, "And don't forget, we couldn't find him for over a month before."
"Are you saying..."
Thinking of a certain possibility, Feng Yunfan couldn't help but widen his eyes, his heart filled with disbelief.
Just then, a strong soul power fluctuation suddenly erupted from Mo Hui, not far in front of them, soaring straight into the sky.
"This... he broke through? And the soul power level he just displayed is actually level twenty-four!"
Seeing the scene before him, Feng Yunfan was completely stunned. He had never expected that Mo Hui, who looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old child, would have twenty-four levels of soul power!
One must know that when Feng Xiaotian was twelve years old, he only had twenty-five levels of soul power. Mo Hui looked even younger than Feng Xiaotian at that age, so it was possible he could surpass Feng Xiaotian's level at that time.
"We underestimated him. What he said was serious."
Feng Xiaotian gave Mo Hui a deep look, then left Hurricane Canyon with Feng Yunfan.
After that, Feng Xiaotian often came to Hurricane Canyon to cultivate, but every time he arrived and left, he would see Mo Hui meditating, which made the look in his eyes towards Mo Hui become increasingly complex.
One year later.
In the inner area of Hurricane Canyon, as a soul power fluctuation like a volcanic eruption emanated from Mo Hui, Mo Hui, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened his eyes a moment later.
"Very good, I've reached level thirty. My speed is even faster than the original Tang San!"
Mo Hui felt the surging soul power fluctuations on his body and clenched his fists.
The cultivation effect in the inner area of Hurricane Canyon once again exceeded his expectations. Even though cultivating soul power becomes more difficult later on, Mo Hui still maintained a cultivation speed of less than two months per level.
Although the bottleneck at level thirty took a little more time, Mo Hui broke through it in just three months. Now, Mo Hui only needed to acquire a suitable soul ring to become a level thirty-one Soul Elder.
Just then, a strong wind suddenly swept up from the bottom of the canyon. Its power was so great that it directly blew Mo Hui away, nearly causing him to fall from the stone platform built by Shenfeng Academy.
"What's going on!"
Mo Hui fully circulated his soul power to resist the onslaught of the strong wind. However, just as he had found his footing, a 'crack' sound suddenly came from beneath his feet.
Mo Hui's hair immediately stood on end, and he thought 'Not good' in his heart!
"Bang!!"
Before Mo Hui could react, the stone platform beneath his feet suddenly shattered, and Mo Hui's body rapidly fell towards the bottom of the canyon. Vaguely, Mo Hui seemed to see a giant strange bird several meters long.
"Bobo!"
Mo Hui roared towards the sky.
Whoosh~
The next second, a green light cut through the storm and went straight to Mo Hui's side, grabbing the back of his collar.
"Bobo~"
Bobo flapped its wings forcefully, grabbing Mo Hui and flying towards the stone platform built by Shenfeng Academy.
Soon, Mo Hui landed back on the stone platform, and he also saw clearly the culprit that had almost cost him his life.
"It's actually a Hurricane Bird, and judging by the second tail feather of this Hurricane Bird that is almost fully grown, it's probably close to two thousand years old!"
Mo Hui instantly recognized its identity. It was one of the soul beasts specifically mentioned by the teacher in the martial soul knowledge class as being most suitable for wind-attributed bird martial soul rings, the Hurricane Bird.
The Hurricane Bird's wings could easily stir up strong winds. It is said that a hundred-thousand-year-old Hurricane Bird could even create hurricanes powerful enough to destroy a large city, earning them the name 'Walking Natural Disaster'.
However, due to various reasons, the number of Hurricane Birds has become extremely rare. He hadn't expected to encounter one in Hurricane Canyon today.
"Just right, I'm at level thirty. For the offense just now, I'll take your soul ring in return!"
As he spoke, two yellow soul rings immediately rose from beneath Mo Hui's feet, and Bobo's body was tinged with light green, entering combat mode.
Air Blade - Eight-in-One.
Mo Hui's first soul ring quickly flashed eight times. Eight half-meter-long wind blades shot out from in front of Bobo, then quickly merged together while intertwining, transforming into a three-meter-long giant wind blade that slashed directly towards the Hurricane Bird.
