Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong

Song Weihan's eyes widened when Sheng Feilong told him that he had already reached rank 50. The latter had only reached rank 40, the Soul Ancestor level, less than half a year ago and now he was ready to advance to the Soul King stage at the young age of 14 years old!

One couldn't take Song Weihan's surprise amiss; A 14 years old Soul King expert was basically a genius that would only be seen every few thousand years! Moreover, with Sheng Feilong's Twin Spirit Souls, his overall power was bound to increase tremendously, far beyond what a normal Soul Master would undergo with their breakthrough!

Looking at his disciple, Song Weihan couldn't help but smile from pride. "That's simply incredible! A 14 years old Soul King... I never heard of a talent like that in thousands of years. Let's inform Madam She and get her to prepare a secluded area for you."

Sheng Feilong nodded, quickly following behind Song Weihan; His Master might even be more excited than he was!

They went through a few hallways, spending some time to search for She Meixiao; Both of them seemed to have forgotten that they could simply call her with a Soul Communicator..! Soon after, they found She Meixiao in her usual office, talking to an subordinate.

Noticing Song Weihan and Sheng Feilong, She Meixiao cut the talk with her subordinate short and sending the latter out before waving the others in. "Sir Song, Feilong, what brings you here? It's unusual for you to come looking for me like this."

Sheng Feilong took a step forward and lightly bowed to She Meixiao with a smile. "Master, we've come today because I've reached rank 50. We wanted to ask you to help find me a secluded area to make a break through."

She Meixiao looked at Sheng Feilong in shock, her expression just as astonished as Song Weihan's before. She first took it for a joke, but upon glancing at Song Weihan, who nodded with a serious expression, she didn't know what to say.

She Meixiao then made a call to reserve one of the cultivation dwellings within the Daedalus' headquarters and the three of them made their way there afterwards.

With She Meixiao's prestige and rank inside the organisation, it naturally wasn't hard for her to make such arrangements at short notice; Even though the cultivation dwellings were mostly in use, as soon as She Meixiao made the call, one of them that was usually reserved for members of Daedalus' higher echelons was cleared immediately and a member of the organisation lead them over.

Sheng Feilong went inside alone and took his time to prepare himself. With his current physical strength and Spirit power, breaking through to the Soul King level with a Soul Ring condensed from the Purple Forest Witch will be a walk in the park for Sheng Feilong, but it was always better to properly prepare; One never knew when problems would arise.

After adjusting his breathing and calming his mind, Sheng Feilong entered his spiritual consciousness and went out to look for the Purple Forest Witch's Spirit Soul. Spending a few minutes to talk to it and inform it of what was happening, the little Spirit readily agreed to help Sheng Feilong get stronger.

It even seemed excited to be able to play another game with Sheng Feilong. The latter was confused for a moment, but suddenly remembered that his fourth Soul Skill, the first one he got from the Purple Forest Witch was called 'Playing The Dumbo Game' before he meticulously made the effort to rename it to Spirit Infestation.

So it seems that all Soul Skills of the Purple Forest Witch will be some kinds of 'games'... Hopefully, this new one won't be as weird as the first.

Settling down together with the Purple Forest Witch, Sheng Feilong finally began his breakthrough, deciding not to bother about the name for the moment. In the worst case, he would just have to spent some time to rename the Soul Skill again!

------------------

A long time passed as Sheng Feilong continued to remain in meditation. Outside his spiritual consciousness, in the real world, over an hour had already passed. Song Weihan had decided to personally stand guard outside of Sheng Feilong's cultivation dwelling and he was soon joined by Sheng Lingtian.

In their eagerness earlier, both Sheng Feilong and Song Weihan had completely forgotten to inform Sheng Lingtian of Sheng Feilong's breakthrough to rank 50 and the upcoming seclusion to reach the Soul King level. Luckily, Sheng Lingtian didn't take this badly and was instead just as excited as Sheng Feilong and Song Weihan, deciding to wait together with Song Weihan in front of the cultivation dwelling.

Currently, the two of them were chatting away at all kinds of things, mostly about the happening of the last few months, when Sheng Lingtian brought up a more serious topic. "Brother Song, when do you think we should inform Feilong about what happened to the Clan? We have been quiet about it for months now and I think he has completely recovered from the incident back then."

Song Weihan frowned. He naturally knew they had to tell Sheng Feilong what happened, but he wasn't sure what would happen if Sheng Feilong had to go through such a stressful event. Altough the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon hadn't made any problems yet, the voice that Sheng Feilong mentioned didn't leave Song Weihan any rest.

Some time passed with Song Weihan being lost in thought. Looking at Sheng Lingtian, he finally decided to speak up after quite a while. "I think it would be better to continue to wait. We still don't know what that voice is that Feilong mentioned and if it really has something to do with his second Spirit Essence, then a revelation like this could very well be a trigger for it to try and take control over Feilong again."

Sheng Lingtian didn't seem convinced and spoke up again, his expression slightly distressed. "But what if he tries to call my late brother, for example? What am I to tell him if he asks why Fengtian doesn't answer? What if he wants to go visit them again?"

Before Song weihan could answer, the door behind them beeped once before slowly opening and Sheng Feilong stepped out of the room with a somewhat forced smile on his face. Song Weihan noticed this and questioned Sheng Feilong about it. "Feilong, what's wrong? Don't tell me you failed to break through? Are you alright?"

"No, Master, it's nothing like this. I've successfully broken through and am now a rank 51 Soul King. It's just... do you remember the first Soul Skill I got from the Purple Forest Witch? It's weird name, I mean..?" Sheng Feilong looked at Song Weihan with a deadpan expression. The latter frowned, remembering the weird name Sheng Feilong's fourth Soul Skill had. "What about it? Does your new Soul Skill have a weird name again?"

Sheng Feilong sighed lightly. "Yes. Yes, it does. My fifth Soul Skill is called 'Playing The Funny Lake Game'..." Sheng Feilong paused and saw the twitching expressions on his father's and Master's faces. He sighed again but then continued with a more serious expression. "It's the same as before; The name is silly and childish, but the Soul Skill itself is terrifying... This time, it's a kind of Domain like ability, is the best I can describe it as?"

Song Weihan's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a shocked expression, he spoke out in surprise. "A Domain Ability? You are joking, aren't you? You've obtained a second Domain Ability after your Netherworld Putrefaction Demon's Innate Ability?"

"Not quite. It's 'Domain like'. I don't know how to explain it better than that.", Sheng Feilong said, while shaking his head. "It works more like a power that gets added to other Soul Skills and should work exceptionally well with my illusions. Until now, I was able to put people into illusions and get them to fight the air, but with the help of the new Soul Skill, I can get them to completely fall into an illusionscape inside their own minds."

Sheng Feilong looked at Song Weihan, this time with a slightly awkward expression. "If they get caught in the illusion, they will basically be completely incapacitated, but there's a drawback as well: If I want to control the illusion they see, then I have to enter it together with them."

"You mean you will enter the illusionscape in their minds, being incapacitated as well?" Song Weihan suddenly asked, to which Sheng Feilong nodded his head. With a light frown, Song Weihan continued. "That's a huge drawback, especially in team fights. Still, in a one versus one situation, this Soul Skill is extremely powerful. As long as you use it the right way, you shouldn't have any problems with it."

Sheng Feilong nodded again, causing Song Weihan to smile lightly. "Well, we should inform Madam She for now. Also, we should really measure your Spirit Power again. After the incident concerning the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon, we didn't do so, so I'm really curious how strong it has become by now."
