—------------------—
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Wei Feng again.
His eyes were filled with heat.
After all, a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast that has transformed but has not yet grown up is tantamount to a walking treasure.
Wei Feng remained calm despite the burning gazes of the elders.
Wei Feng smiled slightly, raised his hand, and pressed it lightly, signaling everyone to stay calm.
"Grandpa, elders, I understand what you mean. A hundred thousand-year-old soul beast is indeed a huge temptation."
Wei Feng changed the subject, his tone sounding calm and analytical.
"But please listen to me first. First of all, this transformed soul beast is not alone at the moment. She is with the rest of the Shrek team in another lounge in this great fighting arena."
Wei Feng glanced at everyone, focusing on Wei Zhenshan and Wei Long:
"And her companions are none other than the Shrek Academy group led by Tang San.
Everyone knows Tang San's identity; he is Tang Hao's son."
Wei Feng continued:
"Given Xiao Wu and Tang San's inseparable relationship, it's impossible for Tang Hao to be unaware of her existence.
Would a father, especially a powerful Titled Douluo, allow an uncertain factor to stay with his son for a long time?
The only explanation is that Tang Hao acquiesced, or perhaps even arranged it long ago."
Wei Feng looked at Wei Zhenshan, and his tone became serious:
"If we take action now and forcibly kill Xiao Wu, we may indeed obtain spirit rings and spirit bones.
But what are the consequences? We will definitely endure the most insane revenge from Tang Hao, hiding in the shadows!
The destructive power of a reckless Haotian Douluo is enough to cause huge losses to the sect, and disciples will be in danger when they go out for training.
Is it worth it to create a mortal enemy with a powerful Titled Douluo for a hundred thousand-year-old resource that is not yet ripe for absorption?"
Wei Zhenshan's eyes flashed; he nodded slowly and looked at Wei Feng with great satisfaction.
He knew this, too.
Otherwise, Wei Feng would not have been asked for his opinion.
I still want to test Wei Feng's judgment.
The others also looked thoughtful.
Seeing that everyone had listened, Wei Feng continued to elaborate on his point of view:
"Secondly, consider it from the perspective of maximizing benefits.
Now, my father and Uncle Xin have just obtained a suitable 100,000-year spirit ring. No other member in the sect has reached the bottleneck of level 90, so they are in urgent need of this ninth spirit ring.
Seizing it now would only allow us to stockpile resources and immediately risk Tang Hao's retaliation, which is not a wise move."
A smile of planning appeared on Wei Feng's lips:
"On the contrary, if we pretend to be ignorant and let Xiao Wu continue to stay with Tang San, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages for us.
First, we can use this to observe Tang Hao's true intentions.
Second, Xiao Wu is an important partner of Tang San. If there is a conflict with Tang San or the Haotian Sect in the future, this will be a potential means of restraint for us.
Third, the value of a transformed spirit beast isn't just in its spirit rings and bones; perhaps through it, we can glimpse some of the secrets of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"The Great Star Forest? Where do I even begin?"
Wei Zhenshan asked curiously.
"From the information I've received, Xiao Wu lived in the Xingdou Great Forest before she transformed."
Wei Feng explained.
"And in the Xingdou Great Forest, hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts also live in concentrated areas in the core area."
"Go to the Xingdou Great Forest someday and try to tell Xiao Wu's name to see if the 100,000-year-old soul beast there reacts."
Wei Zhenshan seemed to be lost in thought.
Is that so?
He exchanged glances with the others.
Aren't the 100,000-year-old soul beasts living in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python?
If this is true, there will be room for maneuver in the future.
Wei Feng concluded:
"So, my advice is to hold off for now.
Let Xiao Wu continue to stay in Shrek, by Tang San's side. We just need to keep an eye on her.
It won't be too late to take action when she becomes more valuable, or when our people are in urgent need of spirit rings and Tang Hao has no time to spare.
It would be unwise to abandon long-term planning and create a powerful enemy for the sake of immediate temptation."
Wei Feng's analysis was clear and logical, with clear pros and cons, and completely convinced everyone present.
Even Dugu Bo, whose eyes were the most blazing at first, nodded slowly and said sinisterly:
"What you said makes sense, kid.
That mad dog Tang Hao is indeed troublesome.
It's not worth getting into trouble just for a soul bone that you can't use for the time being.
Cast a long line, and you might catch a bigger fish."
After Dugu Bo absorbed the soul bone and condensed the soul core, his soul power is now level 93, and his individual combat power is comparable to that of a level 95 Super Douluo.
Wei Zhenshan looked at his grandson with admiration, stroked his beard, and smiled:
"Feng'er is thoughtful and insightful, very good!
As you said, let's put this matter aside for now and just observe secretly.
The stability of the sect is paramount."
Wei Zhenshan would not really become a mortal enemy of Tang Hao or even the Haotian Sect just for a piece of a 100,000-year soul bone.
No need.
There are still 100,000-year-old soul bones in the dragon tomb.
Compared with the above, the degree of danger and consequences are almost non-existent.
"Grandson understands."
Wei Feng bowed in response.
Wei Zhenshan turned his gaze away from Wei Feng and looked back at Wei Long and Dugu Xin, a smile on his face again:
"Okay, let's end this for now.
Long'er, Xin'er, put away your soul rings.
I have just been promoted and need to consolidate my achievements.
Feng'er, continue preparing your fighting spirits and don't be distracted by external interference."
"Yes, Grandfather (Grand Elder)!"
The two newly promoted Douluo put away their spirit rings as instructed, and the heart-pounding blood-red light slowly dissipated.
Wei Zhenshan said no more, waved his sleeves, and the space ripples again.
The six Titled Douluo disappeared into the VIP room as quietly as they had arrived.
After they left, the VIP room was quiet for a moment.
Tian Yi and the others were still immersed in the shocking conversation about the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast and Haotian Douluo.
At the same time, in the lounge of Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu was leaning against Tang San, looking somewhat uneasy.
I felt a sudden palpitation for no reason.
It was as if something extremely terrifying had just passed by her and then disappeared quietly.
Xiao Wu subconsciously grasped Tang San's sleeve. Tang San noticed it and lowered his head to ask softly:
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wu shook her head, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and whispered:
"Nothing, bro. Maybe I'm just a little nervous."
---
Returning to the back mountain of Burning Heaven Sect, there is a large training ground specially used for practicing soul skills and with a solid barrier.
It was dark, but the moonstones inlaid around the training grounds made the inside as bright as day.
Wei Feng stood alone at the edge of the field, and a thought came to his mind.
Four rays of light of different colors flashed one after another from the special Poké Ball on his waist.
With nothing to do, Wei Feng decided to summon the Pokémon and train them well.
