   Early the next morning, Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing left Shrek Academy for the Star Dou Great Forest.

    A Martial Spirit Fusion Skill had brought them closer together, at least Zhu Zhuqing was no longer that cold in front of Chen Feng, she displayed a touch of tenderness that wasn’t there before.

    After leaving Shrek Academy, the two of them just kept on rushing, without saying a word.

    After an hour.

    "After merging into the Hell God Tiger with you yesterday, my cultivation speed seems to have become faster." Zhu Zhuqing spoke first.

    "I know." Chen Feng said lightly.

    "You know?" Zhu Zhuqing asked somewhat unexpectedly.

    "What you sucked yesterday was not only my Spirit Power but also my Spirit Origin. Your Hell Civet became stronger, naturally, your cultivation speed also becomes faster." Chen Feng explained.

    When Zhu Zhuqing heard this, her original rapid pace suddenly stopped.

    The Spirit Origin is the origin of the Martial Spirit. The strength of the Martial Spirit is determined by the quality and strength of the Spirit Origin. If Spirit Power decreases, it can be restored, but Spirit Origin, unless you have a fortuitous encounter, it is impossible to recover.

(T/N: People, don’t panic! He has a system! All will be well!)

    "I'm sorry." Zhu Zhuqing said guiltily.

    "It's okay, it's just a little Spirit Origin, it won't have any effect on my Netherworld God Tiger." Chen Feng smiled.

    The damage to the Spirit Origin may be very serious for others, but it has little effect on him. When he fuses Martial Spirits of others into him, he is actually integrating their Spirit Origin as well. Zhu Zhuqing absorbing some of his Spirit Origin can easily be recovered by him integrating some ordinary Tiger Martial Spirits.

    Chen Feng was telling the truth, but Zhu Zhuqing thought that Chen Feng did not want her to feel guilty when he said this, she was a little moved.

    "We will not use our Martial Spirit Fusion Skill in the future." Zhu Zhuqing spoke.

    "Why not?" Chen Feng said.

    "Because once we create the Hell God Tiger, I will absorb your Spirit Power and Spirit Origin." Zhu Zhuqing frowned.

    "I told you yesterday this should be a one-off, even if it isn’t and you absorb it every day, I have my ways of recovering it." Chen Feng said.

    "We should try again, if I still absorb your Spirit Power and Spirit Origin, we will give up using the Hell God Tiger." Zhu Zhuqing concluded, as for Chen Feng saying he can recover it, she didn’t believe it.

    "All right," Chen Feng confirmed.

    "There are only five days left of the vacation. We are too slow, why don’t you use your Wings and carry me." Zhu Zhuqing said, but after speaking, she lowered her head embarrassedly.

    Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly, he smiled slightly as he put his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist, his Wind-Thunder Wings spread out behind him before he flew off.

    Smelling the masculine scent of Chen Feng's body, a blush appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's small face, making her look charming, but it was a pity that Chen Feng did not see it.

    With the speed of his Wind-Thunder Wings, the two entered the Outer Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest in less than half a day.

    "Grandmaster said that the age of your third Spirit Ring should be between 1,300 and 1,600 years, but I feel that due to your Physical Fitness, it shouldn’t be a problem if you absorb one a little higher." Chen Feng suggested.

    "How can it be so easy to find such a Spirit Beast though?" Zhu Zhuqing said.

    In her opinion, as long as the attributes match her, it doesn't matter if the age is a little bit low.

    "With me, are you afraid that you won't find a suitable Spirit Beast?" Chen Feng smiled.

    Most of the Beasts in the Outer Zone of the Star Dou Forest are 10 years and 100 year Spirit Beasts. There are not many 1000 year Spirit Beasts here. Chen Feng directly took Zhu Zhuqing to the Inner Zone. With his strength, he did not need to worry about putting her in danger.

    He utilised his Mental Power to probe the surrounding, with his current Mental Power, he didn’t have difficulty scanning the surrounding 10 Km.

    "Found it." It did not take long for Chen Feng to find a suitable Spirit Beast for Zhu Zhuqing.

    Under a big tree, a Black Leopard about two meters in length was taking a nap. When Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing appeared, it suddenly opened its eyes, its muscles tightened instantly, ready to attack.

    "This 1700-year-old Ghost Chasing Leopard, its age and attributes are very suitable for you." Chen Feng laughed, he was about to subdue it after speaking, but Zhu Zhuqing stopped him.

    "Let me deal with it myself." Zhu Zhuqing spoke.

    "With your current strength, you’ll find it a little hard to deal it with." Chen Feng frowned.

    "I want to try." Zhu Zhuqing said firmly.

    "Okay, I will help you drive away the nearby Spirit Beasts and let you concentrate on dealing with it. Unless your life is in danger, I will not take action." Chen Feng nodded.

    "Thank you." Zhu Zhuqing gratefully nodded.

    Chen Feng left to drive away the nearby Spirit Beasts. Since Zhu Zhuqing had made a decision, he had to trust her, but his Mental Power was still observing the situation here. Once Zhu Zhuqing was in danger, he would immediately take action.

    Three days later.

    The body of the Ghost Chasing Leopard laid beside Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing’s body had dozens of scars cutting her clothes into rags making her embarrassed, but there was a joyful expression on her face. She had succeeded.

    In the past three days, she fought seven or eight times with the Ghost Chasing Leopard, before finally killed it.

    Chen Feng walked over. Zhu Zhuqing and the Ghost Chasing Leopard’s battles were watched by him, many times he saw Zhu Zhuqing getting injured, he wanted to take action but finally held himself back.

    "Hurry up and adjust yourself, wait until your Spirit Power is fully restored before absorbing the Spirit Ring of the Ghost Chasing Leopard." Chen Feng recommended.

    "Yeah." Zhu Zhuqing nodded solemnly.

    This Ghost Chasing Leopard was already very close to the limit of the third Spirit Ring. In her current state, it was impossible for her to directly absorb the Ghost Chasing Leopard’s Spirit Ring.

    Sitting cross-legged, Zhu Zhuqing began to meditate and restore her Spirit Power, Chen Feng stood by protecting her.

    About twenty minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes, her Spirit Power had recovered, her wounds had also begun to scab slowly, she could begin absorbing the Spirit Ring.

    Without Chen Feng’s reminder, Zhu Zhuqing released and possessed her Martial Spirit and drew the Spirit Ring of the Ghost Chasing Leopard towards herself. When the energy in the Spirit Ring poured into her body, a painful look appeared on her face.

    But she could only rely on herself when absorbing the Spirit Ring, Chen Feng could only watch from the sidelines.

    "Huh!"

    Chen Feng found that something was wrong with the body of the Ghost Chasing Leopard, his eyes lit up. He was no stranger to this situation. He took out a dagger, cut the body apart, and found a Spirit Bone.

    "It seems that Zhuqing has good luck this time."

    The lower the age of the Spirit Beast, the lower the probability of them leaving behind a Spirit Bone upon death. For a 1000 year Spirit Beast to leave behind a Spirit Bone is equal to winning the lottery.

    After half an hour, Zhu Zhuqing successfully absorbed the Spirit Ring of the Ghost Chasing Leopard, she opened her eyes, and a light Purple flashed in them.

    "I succeeded." Zhu Zhuqing said joyfully.

    "Congratulations." Chen Feng smiled.

    "Thank you, without you, I would not have succeeded." Zhu Zhuqing said gratefully.

    "What is your third Spirit Ability?" Chen Feng asked.

    "My third Spirit Ability is called *Hell Chasing Legs*, a single attack, which can increase my Agility by 30% and the attack power of my legs by 20% when activated." Zhu Zhuqing informed.

    "Not bad." Chen Feng nodded.
