Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 400: Chapter 298: Heart Pupil_2

Wasting a soul skill slot to absorb such a support soul skill might not be anything for others, but for super geniuses like Ye Qiu, every soul skill is crucial. Without sufficient reason or successful examples, others won’t agree.

Lin Feng wouldn’t do this either.

Only when the Nightmare assimilation intensifies can the hope for success increase, and the soul skill truly take effect.

”Knock knock knock...”

Just as Lin Feng was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Getting up to open the door, Ye Qiu and two others walked in.

Seeing the bag in Ye Qiu’s hand and Yang Ningbing’s backpack, Lin Feng didn’t need to be told the reason for their visit.

”Lin Feng, they all want to absorb soul skills.”

After Zhan Tianyu casually closed the door, he couldn’t wait to speak before Lin Feng could ask. His tone was slightly excited.

Absorbing a diamond soul skill, it’s hard not to be excited.

Although he wasn’t the one absorbing, it was still closely related to him.

Lin Feng looked at Ye Qiu and the others: ”Who goes first? My ability cannot be used multiple times in a short period.”

”There’s a time limit?”

Zhan Tianyu was slightly taken aback, but soon realized.

Indeed, this unbelievable ability has significant after-effects; it’s not so easy to use.

”I want to challenge Gao Qiang, how about letting me go first?”

Ye Qiu looked at Yang Ningbing for her opinion.

He must challenge Gao Qiang by tomorrow, otherwise, the main roster can’t be changed.

”Mm.”

Yang Ningbing nodded, having no objections.

There’s no difference between first and second; it’s good to see if Ye Qiu succeeds first.

”You want to challenge Gao Qiang?”

Lin Feng asked with some confusion.

Gao Qiang, though Lin Feng didn’t know him personally, he was aware of him.

After all, he’s one of the main members of the Great Wall Team and an opponent.

”Ye Qiu wants a main position.”

Zhan Tianyu explained for Ye Qiu.

Lin Feng suddenly understood.

So it’s a competition for a main position.

He wasn’t too surprised about this and quickly guessed the reason.

For someone as laid-back as Ye Qiu to compete for a main position at such a critical moment, the alliance must have given him a lot of pressure.

”Then you go first.”

Lin Feng said, looking at the black bag Ye Qiu was carrying: ”What demon spirit did you bring?”

”Night Dragon.”

Ye Qiu opened the bag, revealing a volleyball-sized, transparent Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact in Lin Feng’s sight. The transparent Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact had purple lines like cracks, a mark of an advanced Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact.

An advanced Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact can seal a demon spirit for a year.

Of course, this Night Dragon might have been sealed for more than a year; besides sealing demon soul skills, there are other methods and tools, like the Guardian Divine Artifact, capable of keeping a demon spirit from dissipating for decades.

Inside the Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact was a pitch-black cloud, hiding the demon spirit within it, making it invisible.

”Diamond soul skill?”

Lin Feng frowned slightly, just like Zhan Tianyu, he was surprised Ye Qiu would absorb a diamond soul skill as his fourth soul skill.

Although outsiders thought he had absorbed five, and the fifth was a diamond soul skill, only Lin Feng knew that the Dragon Fish only absorbed four soul skills.

These four soul skills were: Mirror Image, Phantom, Lock, Peace Contract.

All four were Purple Gold soul skills, none were diamond.

Generally speaking, the higher the soul skill level, the stronger the power and better the effect. It significantly benefits body refinement and enhances the demon spirit’s strength.

Lin Feng naturally hoped all his absorbed soul skills would be diamond, ideally divine level soul skills.

Absorbing nine divine level soul skills, even without reaching King Level, can crush any King-level being.

But unfortunately, Lin Feng didn’t have that much money.

Before acquiring Hai Wei’s space ring, a diamond soul skill cost tens of billions at the least and could go up to a hundred billion, far beyond what he could afford without support from consortia and families.

Moreover, even if he had a diamond soul skill, Lin Feng didn’t dare to absorb it easily.

A demon spirit’s grade and soul skill level cannot be generalized, but generally, diamond soul skills are often the gifted soul skills of Ninth Grade or King Level demon spirits.

The difficulty of absorption is also a criterion for diamond soul skills evaluation.

Even with the support of Nightmare, the weak Dragon Fish has a low chance of absorbing a diamond soul skill.

Lin Feng’s first, second, and fourth soul skills succeeded on the first try, but the third soul skill, Lock, took three attempts to succeed.

Costing him thirteen billion.

Given such a situation with Purple Gold soul skills, how much more so for diamond soul skills.

One failure could leave Lin Feng back at square one overnight.

Lin Feng possesses two diamond soul skills: Demon Flame and Demon Transformation.

However, both soul skills were absorbed by the Nightmare, not the Dragon Fish.

For Ye Qiu to try to absorb a diamond soul skill as his fourth soul skill, aside from being extremely confident in his own talent and the Thorny Demon Dragon, he seemed to have great faith in Lin Feng.

Having just formed the alliance and signed the Peace Contract, and helping an organization member sign a contract for the first time, Lin Feng didn’t want to fail.

Failure would affect the confidence of others.

”Is the level too high?”

Seeing Lin Feng frown, Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment and asked.

Lin Feng’s special ability can increase the success rate of absorbing soul skills, though he wasn’t sure how it increased or by how much, but since Lin Feng had absorbed the diamond soul skill Demon Flame with a First Grade Dragon Fish, while he was refining an Earth Chart Thorny Demon Dragon, the difference in levels was worlds apart, that’s why Ye Qiu felt confident about absorbing a diamond soul skill.

Being fellow super geniuses, if Lin Feng could absorb them, why couldn’t he, who was refining a Thorny Demon Dragon?

But now it seemed Lin Feng didn’t have that much confidence.

Yang Ningbing also frowned. She also wanted to refine a diamond soul skill, and if there was a possibility of Ye Qiu failing, she wouldn’t be an exception.

The value of a diamond soul skill needs no words, even with her talent and status, she only had two chances at absorption, and if she failed, her family wouldn’t provide another chance.

If Ye Qiu failed, she would consider giving up.

”Indeed, absorbing a diamond soul skill now, the success rate is too low.”

Seeming to notice Lin Feng’s difficulty, Zhan Tianyu spoke up at the right time.

In his view, Lin Feng obviously wasn’t very confident but was reluctant to admit it.

His words gave Lin Feng a way out, but also reflected his true thoughts.

Ye Qiu was recognized as a peerless genius, refining a Thorny Demon Dragon, but trying to absorb a diamond soul skill as the fourth soul skill, success rate wasn’t even ten percent.

Even if Lin Feng could increase the success rate, even double or triple it, there was still a great chance of failure.

Absorbing it now was indeed too reckless.

”Ye Qiu, absorbing a diamond soul skill as the fourth soul skill is too risky; you’d better absorb a Purple Gold soul skill first.” Zhan Tianyu suggested.

”Mm, then I’ll look for....”

Ye Qiu nodded. Just as he was about to give up, Lin Feng spoke: ”You all go out first, I’ll prepare.”

Ye Qiu was slightly stunned, exchanging a look with Zhan Tianyu, they both saw the surprise in each other’s eyes, but none of them said more and left the room.

After the three left, Lin Feng got up and took out a Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact from the bedside table.

Inside the Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact, a completely silver, serpent-like demon spirit with wings floated motionless.

Ninth Grade demon spirit, Six-winged Illusion Python.

Gifted soul skill, Divine Level soul skill: Illusion.

This demon spirit, valued at over a hundred billion, was extremely precious.

This is Demon Star University’s treasured possession, which many forces and families have tried to buy or exchange for, but Demon Star University never agreed.

If Lin Feng hadn’t succeeded in a Same Tier challenge, due to rules and face, Demon Star University would never have offered it.

Originally, Lin Feng planned to wait for the Dragon Fish to grow, reach a higher grade, and use it as either his sixth or seventh soul skill.

But now, due to Ye Qiu and the others, Lin Feng decided to absorb it directly.

However, it wouldn’t be absorbed by the Dragon Fish, but by the Nightmare.
