Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 472: Chapter 343: Stand

”This is General Wang Jian, the representative sent by the high-level officials.”

Bu Zheng introduced to Lin Feng and the others.

This General Wang Jian appeared to be in his forties or fifties, dressed in a somewhat faded military uniform. He was slightly thin, about 1.8 meters tall, with an ordinary appearance and nothing special, but his posture was straight with a soldier’s unique aura.

”General Wang”

At this moment, Lin Feng and his group all stood up and slightly bowed to show respect.

Even the arrogant Yu Qiao was no exception.

No matter the era, soldiers deserve respect, especially when the other party is a general.

In this current time, becoming a general might mean he is also a King Level expert.

”No need to be so formal. Although I’m a general, some of you have achievements that are no less impressive than mine.”

General Wang waved his hand with a slight smile and glanced at everyone, seemingly indifferent on the surface but slightly surprised in his heart.

It was normal for Lin Feng and the five to gather as team members, but even Yang Ningbing and Huang Tianze were present here.

This room now almost gathered the most outstanding talents from the national Heroic League of Glory Alliance.

Although it seemed a bit odd, he didn’t pay much mind, thinking it was just a simple gathering. After all, being from the Three Heroic Academies, they might be rivals and friends.

Wang Jian couldn’t imagine that the people before him belonged to the same alliance.

An alliance that would capture the world’s attention in the future.

Wang Jian looked at the TV and casually asked as if chatting:

”Are you also following the Glory Alliance? Planning to develop into the alliance in the future?”

Lin Feng responded:

”In the past, I wanted to participate in the Battle of Glory, indeed had that intention, but now with this situation, both the Battle of Glory and the alliance might not exist anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Jian shook his head slightly: ”They will still exist, both the Battle of Glory and Professional Alliance!”

Lin Feng showed a hint of confusion.

Wang Jian continued to explain: ”Without the alliance, what would people watch? If there’s no competition, it might lead to unnecessary speculation, which is not conducive to stability. The Glory Alliance will undergo reform. The specific method is still under discussion collectively by the high-level officials of various countries worldwide, with no conclusion yet.”

General Wang’s words surprised everyone a bit.

”Will it still be team competitions?”

Little Sister Dong asked curiously.

”I’ve already said there’s no conclusion yet, how would I know?”

Wang Jian patted Little Sister Dong’s head and said with a smile.

Little Sister Dong nodded slightly. Despite Wang Jian’s high rank and authority as a general, he seemed easy to talk to, so she was not nervous. She pointed at the backpacks of two youths with her little finger and asked:

”General Wang, are these the Demon Spirits as the competition rewards?”

”Yes.”

Wang Jian said, and as soon as he finished speaking, the two youths placed their backpacks on the ground and took out transparent crystal bottles to display on the ground.

The crystal bottles, the size of a fist, had purple cracks on their surface, clearly Advanced Demon-Sealing Soul Artifacts.

Inside the Demon-Sealing Soul Artifacts were colorful, semi-transparent, and illusory clouds.

”My Crocodile Dragon has arrived so soon.” Little Sister Dong exclaimed with surprise.

Not only her, but everyone, including Lin Feng, showed joy.

Lin Feng’s eyes were fixed on a Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact containing a blue cloud.

The ”Fat Water Demon” he wanted had also arrived.

This speed was beyond his expectations.

According to the usual practice, it would take about half a month for such competition rewards to be distributed, but it arrived in just three days.

”During special times, efficiency naturally increases.”

Wang Jian smiled, speaking indifferently.

As he spoke, Lin Feng and his group all picked up their respective Demon Spirits.

After some casual chatting, Wang Jian’s smile faded, and his expression turned somewhat serious, his gaze landing on Lin Feng:

”Let me ask, are you planning to enter the ’Land of Chaos’ this time?”

Yun Kai and the others did not answer, just turned their gaze to Lin Feng.

”No need for hesitation or consideration, you’ve already proven yourselves! Even if you don’t have such plans, it’s quite normal.”

Facing General Wang’s gaze, Lin Feng nodded: ”Everyone in this room will enter the ’Land of Chaos’.”

No denial, nor was there a need to deny.

Regardless of rewards, they would enter the ’Land of Chaos’.

They desired national rewards, but it was not a condition.

”Good!”

Wang Jian said loudly, looking at everyone with unconcealed admiration in his eyes.

This ”good” was not just a praise for their courage and actions, but admiration for Lin Feng’s straightforward answer.

His question clearly hinted that the high-level officials hoped they would enter the ’Land of Chaos’.

If you want people to contribute, naturally, you have to offer rewards.

This moment was a good opportunity to discuss terms.

Knowing this, Lin Feng had no hesitation and did not use this as a bargaining chip.

This kind of awareness naturally drew his admiration.

Since yesterday afternoon, he had contacted many talents, some of whom refused outright before he could explain, while others pretended to hesitate and worry, using it to negotiate better terms.

Aside from Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing, there were few as decisive as Lin Feng.

”I appreciate your straightforwardness. Your awareness and courage will not be let down by the country.”

Wang Jian said with a smile:

”For the seven of you who sealed the Jade Seal Spatial Gate, if you go into the ’Land of Chaos’ this time, each of you can propose a condition. For Demon Spirit Masters, a Demon Spirit is most precious and can directly enhance strength. Feel free to propose anything as long as the country can do it or find it, you can have it.”

”Is there a Six-winged Illusion Python?”

Yu Qiao asked without any hesitation.

Wang Jian looked at Yu Qiao, whose eyes were slightly glowing, and replied bluntly: ”Yes!”

Yu Qiao’s breath became slightly rapid, his eyes filled with surprise, and he gently clenched his fist, suppressing the urge to scream and cheer.

The Demon Spirit he dreamed of was finally attainable.

”This is a privilege only you seven have, even Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing do not. Your rewards for sealing the Jade Seal Spatial Gate have not been granted yet, and this Divine Skill is part of that reward.”

”Can you give it to me before entering the ’Land of Chaos’?”

Yu Qiao continued to ask.

At this moment, Wang Jian frowned slightly, seeming a bit hesitant, but still nodded and said:

”Yes, I can, but I don’t recommend you absorb it now. The success rate is too low.”

God-level soul skills are not so easy to absorb successfully.

If the information is correct, Yu Qiao has currently only absorbed four soul skills. The fifth soul skill to absorb is a diamond soul skill, which already has a low success rate, and as for a god-level soul skill, the success rate is probably less than ten percent.

This soul skill, Yu Qiao can completely wait until the lifebound demon spirit is stronger and more confident, and then absorb it as the eighth or ninth soul skill.

Although this is a reward for Yu Qiao, it would be too regrettable if it fails.

It’s simply wasting a heavenly gift.

One must know that any god-level soul skill is extremely precious.

Any god-level demon spirit and god-level soul skill have records and cannot be freely traded or sold.

Anyone who absorbs them is recorded.

If it weren’t for the integration of the Space Gate and the worrisome situation, such a soul skill would never appear as a reward.

”Even if the chance is low, there’s still a possibility of success. Besides, I’m a super genius.”

Yu Qiao chuckled, glanced at Lin Feng without a trace, and said confidently, ”If I absorb Illusion, even when facing Jue Tian, I’d have the guts to engage head-on.”

Seeing Yu Qiao’s confidence, Wang Jian didn’t continue persuading.

He had already warned.

As for when to absorb the Six-winged Illusion Python, that’s up to Yu Qiao.

If it fails, that’s Yu Qiao’s business.

This opportunity might only come once.

Though the success rate is very low, if successfully absorbed, Yu Qiao will undergo a transformation, enhancing his strength to another level.

By then, Yu Qiao might still be unable to contend with Jue Tian, but shouldn’t be much less capable,

For other alien races, Yu Qiao is absolutely a terrifying existence.

In this Key Battle, Assassins are far more threatening than other professions.

A top-level Assassin can even seal an entire door by themselves.

Just like Jue Tian.

Seeing that even the Six-winged Illusion Python is attainable, Yun Kai and the others were equally excited, eagerly picking the god-level demon spirit they desired.

This might be the only chance in their lives to possess a god-level soul skill.

Yun Kai wanted the Six-armed Celestial Demon, and he longed for Zhan Tianyu’s Six Arms divine skill.

”I want the Three-headed Flood Dragon!” Little Sister Dong said with anticipation.

At this moment, Wang Jian shook his head helplessly: ”You can only choose a diamond soul skill, not a god-level demon spirit, which is limited to the seven who sealed the Space Gate last time.”

”Oh!”

Little Sister Dong rolled her eyes, uttering an ”Oh” with a somewhat dejected look.

Although diamond soul skills are also very precious, others all have god-level soul skills, while she does not, naturally leading to disappointment.

However, Little Sister Dong actually knew she wasn’t included.

What Wang Jian mentioned was Lin Feng and the seven others.

She definitely was not included.

She was just casually asking.

Not having it is normal; having it would be perfect.

Despite being disappointed, Little Sister Dong didn’t feel it was unfair treatment.

During the sealing of the Jade Seal Spatial Gate and the hunt for alien races, she didn’t participate.

Entering the Land of Chaos, as a Therapist, her role is definitely not as significant as Lin Feng and the seven others, so having a diamond soul skill is already very good.

Everyone stated the soul skills they wanted, all god-level soul skills.

At this moment, Wang Jian looked at Lin Feng and asked: ”And you?”

Lin Feng also didn’t hesitate and said directly: ”I want the Stand-In Elf!”

”The Stand-In Elf?”

Wang Jian was somewhat surprised.

If the demon spirits that others chose didn’t surprise Wang Jian, the Stand-In Elf was definitely unexpected.

The Stand-In Elf, a ninth-grade demon spirit, its innate skill is [Stand].

The Stand-In Elf is a demon beast unique to the Divine Martial Continent.

Stand: The caster leaves a spiritual imprint on the surface or within the body of another person and within a certain range, the positions of both sides are switched with a speed similar to instant teleportation.

This is a spatial soul skill.

It has no offensive capability and belongs to support soul skills.

If the Stand-In Elf encounters an undefeatable enemy, it will use its innate skill to swap positions with the enemy, taking advantage of the enemy’s confusion to make a swift escape.

If a Demon Spirit Master absorbs this skill, it can be used during battles to coordinate with others, quickly swapping places for cooperative attacks.

Although this soul skill lacks an attack, it’s quite useful for escape.

The range of this soul skill’s innate ability isn’t large, limited to thirty meters.

If used, a spiritual imprint must be left on the body of the opponent or an ally to swap positions, making it very limited, hence it is a diamond soul skill and not a god-level soul skill.

Although it’s not a god-level soul skill, it is rarer than god-level soul skills.

”You want to absorb the Stand?”

Wang Jian was a bit puzzled, but when he thought of the soul skills Lin Feng currently possessed, he suddenly realized.

”Lock, Phantom Clone, Stand.”

This is evidently a set of combined soul skills.

Mirror Image actually is too, mainly serving as a supporting and concealing purpose.

This combination of soul skills was designed by a soul skill expert before, but no one has ever successfully absorbed the combination.

Lock and clone soul skills are both difficult to absorb.

And absorbing Stand is even harder and rarer.

If Lin Feng absorbs Stand, he won’t need anyone to coordinate with; he can release clones and, possessing the Lock soul skill, within a certain range, he can switch positions or perform combination attacks with multiple clones.

Considering the final effects of this combination, Wang Jian was also amazed.
