Soul Land: The Savage Star

It didn't take long for Feng to think about it though. Respectable people should be respected so he bowed slightly as Tang San presented him. Without wasting any more time, Tang San quickly told what is happening to his master, who, after some time thinking decided to accept Feng's help. Though, as much as he wanted to do something, Feng could only try to activate his spirit rings' auras one after the other to see if anything happened.

Nothing happened, but the Grandmaster said that he definitely felt something when Feng activated his first spirit ring's aura. " It's weird, I feel like… my spirit is weirdly stirred but it doesn't look like anything else happens. And though I definitely do feel better in your aura's presence, it's the same as when you do nothing. "

Sighing, Feng couldn't help but be slightly disappointed. After all, he really wanted to help him but if these are all the effects then it can't be helped. So, he said " Well, it's a bit underwhelming. I will pass by sometimes to help but I'm only here for a month. Furthermore, I will be in the colosseum most of the time. "

Then, as he was about to excuse himself to leave, Tang San exclaimed " Wait! " Turning to look at him, Feng could see that Tang San's eyes were now shining in a purple hue. He felt slightly weird looking at Tang San's eyes as if they faintly aspired him. Nothing much, but still a weird feeling.

Walking to Feng's side, Tang San, Tang San examined his body for a while then asked " Can you condense your aura or something similar? "

Thinking for a while about whether or to tell him, Feng then relented " I can but only for my spirit ring's auras. Then again, it becomes an offensive ability so I don't think it can help. " To demonstrate this point, he enhanced his fist for a few seconds. This put Tang San deep in thought, as well as Grandmaster, who, after a while asked " Can't you do the same for... your passive aura? "

Stunned, Feng stayed silent for a while before answering " No, I never tried. In fact, I tend to forget that this aura is something that I have sometimes. "

Nodding as if he understood something, Tang San said " Let's try it out then? If your passive aura can help people feel better around you, then maybe it can help with the health if you condense it. "

" Okay, but I don't promise anything " Though he said this in a neutral tone, Feng was quite reeled inside. After all, this aura that he passively releases doesn't consume any spirit power whatsoever. If he can even find a use for it, this would greatly help him no matter what it ends up doing since it's a passive ability.

Moreover, if Tang San's hypothesis was right, Feng could heal other people unlimitedly, which would be a good thing no matter how he sees it. After all, the life of a spirit master is not one of security. Sure, as spirit masters, people find security in their strength but the path to acquiring power enough to be truly secure is a dangerous one. Even more so for Beibei. His fighting abilities were top-notch but he was 'fragile', like everyone else... At least fragile for Feng.

So... closing his eyes and focusing on the aura that accompanied him for four years now, Feng tried to imitate what he does with his rings' auras. It seemed to be the right way as his aura, that he now learned encompassed a five-meter radius around him began to waver and slowly shrink. Though the shrinking was very unstable and after only a minute of trying, Feng collapsed on the ground as his aura got back to normal.

But before he collapsed, he perceived the crow's faint silhouette. It was shining in a bright golden color in a place he didn't know existed. It was a cold, void filled place where there was nothing, a little like the place where he went to in the cave... no, it was exactly the same, but it felt different as if his body wasn't there in that place.

' That crow... Is my first spirit ring more than meets the eyes? And this place, what was it? '

As he was lost in thoughts, Feng failed to respond to Beibei's worried calls. " ng ...Feng! FENG! "

But the shout brought him back to his senses

So he quickly tried to reassure Beibei " Don't worry, I'm fine. I just had a hard time shrinking the aura... It put a bit of pressure on my mind? " The last part was more Feng talking to himself than talking to Beibei. Shaking his head, Feng looked at Grandmaster and said " I think I need a bit more time before being able to do something. Even then, we won't know if it would be beneficial for you. "

Smiling gently, Grandmaster laughed it off " Haha, don't worry about that, I'm not willing to burden you by placing my hopes on you. No, in fact, I'm more curious about your spirit and your abilities than wanting to be cured. "

But Tang San, who was observing the whole process with his purple demon eyes interjected " Wait, I think we are on a good trend. When you shrank your aura earlier, I felt my spirit being roused. Ah, my spirit is a blue silver grass by the way. Anyway, I felt its vitality increasing so I think that when you will be able to shrink your aura completely, it should be able to help my master. "

" Really, that's good to hear. If that's the case, I will have to thank you. This is not something that I would have found by myself anytime soon. "

Smiling brightly, Tang San gave them some tea as they chatted for a while. " I've been meaning to ask, what was that weird purple glow from earlier? "

Scratching his head, Tang San answered " Well, I can't really say it as it's a sect secret but as you are helping me and shared some of yours, I guess I can tell you what it is at least... Though I won't teach it to you... " He then explained briefly what was the purple demon eye to the twins.

Not long after, Feng and Beibei went out of the room as they had to fight in the spirit arena. On the way out of the inn, Tang San, who was seeing them off, said while bowing lightly " Really, I don't know how to thank you, Leng Feng. My master has been ill for as long as I knew him and seeing as he will soon get better, you can't imagine how relieved I am. "

Shaking his head, Feng answered " Don't thank me yet, your master is still ill and we are not even sure it will work the way we want. "

Smiling mysteriously, Tang San answered while pointing at his eyes " I'm perfectly sure it will work out, I saw it. You are really incredible Leng Feng " Then turning to Beibei, he added " You as well Leng Beibei, but in a different way. "

Beibei scratched his head bashfully as he wasn't really in the spotlight during this whole encounter, but he still said " I think you are awesome as well "

Still smiling, Tang San extended his hand for a hand-shake to both the twins, who accepted.
