Chapter 51: One Year

Too familiar!

This scene, Wang Feng is too familiar with it!

Over a year ago, when Wang Feng had just awakened the Blue Lotus Martial Soul and activated the first form, he was about to experiment with the effects of the first form's Golden Lotus.

He encountered this bird.

It was in a similar state, lying on the ground, critically wounded and on the brink of death.

However, compared to that time, the current little blue bird is much larger!

But, Wang Feng remembers very clearly that although the bird has grown much larger, its overall appearance hasn't changed much!

Now, after a year, Wang Feng, with a sense of nostalgia, came to the small forest and unexpectedly encountered this bird again!

"Chirp chirp~~"

The bird turned its head, looking at Wang Feng, seeming a bit stunned, and then weakly chirped a few times.

Wang Feng walked over, looking at the little bird... no, it should be a big blue bird now.

Compared to a year ago, its size has increased, its feathers are even more vibrant and smooth, and a long crest has grown on its head, resembling a bag, a bit ugly.

But it is indeed the bird he once saved.

However, its injuries are severe.

"Hmm? The injuries seem to be caused by a soul beast?"

Wang Feng glanced at the bird, furrowing his brow. With his experience in battling various soul beasts over the past year, he could almost instantly tell that the bird's injuries were inflicted by a soul beast.

"There shouldn't be any soul beasts nearby... Little guy, how did you end up fighting with a soul beast?"

Wang Feng was puzzled.

An ordinary bird, under normal circumstances, even against a rubbish soul beast, it would only be a mouthful.

"Could it be that you deliberately provoked a soul beast?"

Wang Feng scrutinized the bird again and couldn't help but laugh, "Huh, did you get injured by a Cloud Patterned Eagle with a strength of around seven hundred years? You're quite bold..."

Bird-type soul beasts are generally fierce, especially when flying in the sky, making it extremely difficult for soul masters to deal with them unless they have long-range attack capabilities. If you're not a high-level soul master who can fly, it's challenging to handle.

"Chirp chirp... chirp~ chirp chirp chirp~"

The little bird whimpered a few times, seemingly feeling a bit wronged.

"Could it be that you've also become a soul beast?"

Wang Feng thought of something, looking at the unexpectedly large blue bird.

Typically, how could a small bird grow this much in just a year?

"Have you also had some extraordinary encounters?"

Wang Feng's imagination ran wild, wondering if this little bird had obtained some kind of golden finger or perhaps transformed into a person? Transmigrated into a little bird?

Thinking about this, Wang Feng suddenly burst into laughter, as if he was amused by his own wild thoughts. He patted the bird and said with a smile:

"If that's the case, buddy, you're really pitiful."

After laughing, Wang Feng suddenly fell silent, a hint of loneliness on his face.

Suddenly, he started thinking about his past life again.

In this world with only one person, it was too lonely.

"Chirp?"

The little bird looked at Wang Feng in confusion, completely unaware of what he was talking about.

"Stop chirping, I don't understand bird language."

Wang Feng waved his hand, pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Forget it, it seems that we have some fate. Anyway, I'm different from a year ago now, so it shouldn't be a problem to heal an ordinary little bird like you."

"Besides, it feels like we have a connection, don't we?"

While speaking, Wang Feng released the first form of his Golden Lotus Martial Soul, slowly activating the soul power of the Martial Soul and pouring it into the little bird.

In an instant.

Intense golden light enveloped the little bird!

Bathing in the golden light, the large blue bird let out excited chirps!

The injuries on its body almost visibly healed at a rapid pace!

In the past year, Wang Feng rarely used other abilities of the Golden Lotus.

This kind of insane healing ability consumes a lot of energy. Even if it were someone like Sirong and the others who got injured, Wang Feng wouldn't use it.

The same goes for temporarily increasing the soul power level; Wang Feng wouldn't use it either.

However, at this moment, Wang Feng had no reservations. After all, it was just an ordinary little bird that didn't understand anything.

Fully exerting himself, Wang Feng felt the soul power in his body gushing out like a floodgate opening.

"What's going on? Am I much stronger than a year ago?"

Wang Feng murmured.

The rapid depletion of soul power from his body surprised him.

A year ago, although there was a considerable amount of energy and soul power due to the Meteor Tears, after rebuilding his body and compressing his cultivation, he was close to reaching level twenty. His soul power was much more abundant than a year ago, and more enduring.

For instance, a year ago, treating injuries for such dying small animals wouldn't be a problem, and he could handle more than ten in one go.

"Could it be that this little bird has also become stronger?"

Wang Feng furrowed his brow, thinking about it. Until there was only a tiny bit of soul power left in his body.

The little bird had finally recovered...

"Depleted again..."

Wang Feng twitched his mouth, "Could this healing ability consume so much? Well, luckily, there are still a few drops..."

Wang Feng's steps were a bit unsteady, still carrying the four hundred kilograms of weight-bearing armor. If he ran out of soul power and couldn't control his body, he feared that by the time he returned to the village, he might have stamped out a road with a single step.

Plop, plop~

The large blue bird flew up, circling above Wang Feng's head and making joyful cries.

"You're really a troublesome little elf."

Wang Feng looked at the blue bird, feeling somewhat sentimental for no apparent reason.

It's rare to have such a fateful connection with a little bird. Looking at this bird, Wang Feng felt a strange warmth.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Don't get injured next time."

Wang Feng waved to the bird and left leisurely.

As he walked away, Wang Feng could still hear the bird chirping reluctantly.

However, Wang Feng didn't know that shortly after he left, the appearance of the blue bird underwent more drastic changes.

After staying in the woods for a while, the sky was gradually turning dusk.

Before long, Wang Feng walked out of the woods.

"Feng ge, you're here! Perfect, come help us as witnesses!"

Not far away on the mountain, it was Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Witness for what?" Wang Feng walked over, intrigued.

"I want Xiao Wu to be my sister!" Tang San said in a deep voice. "I want another relative. Feng ge, my dad is gone, and you're the person I have the best relationship with in the Holy Soul Village! You're also more sensible and clever than me! I want to ask you to witness this for me."

Wang Feng glanced at the two.

It seemed that the two had just arrived, and they seemed to have communicated and agreed on something. Even Sheng Sheng's expression was a bit silent, and there was a special emotion in her eyes.

"No problem!"

Wang Feng seemed to think of something, solemnly saying, "I'll be your witness then. Now, I need to ask you two questions."

The two were stunned and nodded.

Wang Feng chuckled, coughed a few times, then looked at Tang San and said:

"Tang San, do you want to be Xiao Wu's brother from now on, forever? Whether in prosperity or adversity, wealth or poverty, health or sickness, joy or sorrow, will you cherish her, protect her, until eternity?"

Hearing this, both of them were surprised; they had never heard such a special testimony before.

"I do." Tang San said firmly.

Wang Feng nodded slightly, then looked at Xiao Wu and asked:

"Xiao Wu, do you want to be Tang San's sister from now on, forever? Whether in prosperity or adversity, wealth or poverty, health or sickness, joy or sorrow, will you cherish him, protect him, until eternity?"

Xiao Wu was a bit stunned by the solemnity of the words, but she also said seriously:

"I do..."

Clap!

Wang Feng clapped his hands and said, "Good, from now on, you are siblings!"

Upon hearing this, it seemed that they felt the testimony was profound. The two of them couldn't help but hold hands, looking at the distant sky.

Wang Feng watched their backs, also gazing into the distance.

"A year, it has passed just like this..."
