Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 485: Chapter 353: Refining Divine Level Soul Skill

The divine level soul skill had just been acquired, and Ye Qiu and the others were eager to absorb it.

As they were about to enter the Land of Chaos to battle against the top talents of various alien races, with no retreat, the pressure was indeed enormous.

If they could absorb a divine level soul skill, it would give them an extra trump card and elevate their strength to a higher level.

Facing the key battle, they naturally had more confidence and assurance.

”Don’t look at me with such a hungry gaze, it’s a bit scary.”

Seeing everyone’s gaze, Lin Feng joked.

He could understand everyone’s feelings.

Having the long-dreamed-of divine level soul skill in hand, naturally everyone wanted to absorb it immediately, himself included.

”Why are you so excited? Your soul skills are maxed out.”

Lin Feng asked Yu Qiao.

Yu Qiao had just absorbed a soul skill two days ago and was unable to absorb any more.

For a Demon Spirit Master, with each level their demon spirit rose, they could absorb a new soul skill.

If the grade of the Lifebound Demon Spirit was high enough, even absorbing multiple soul skills consecutively wouldn’t be an issue.

For example, if the Lifebound Demon Spirit reached Fifth Grade, and no soul skills had been absorbed, absorbing five consecutively was theoretically feasible.

Of course, this situation generally wouldn’t occur.

For a Demon Spirit Master, the Lifebound Demon Spirit’s growth, besides meditation cultivation to enhance soul power, the second, and most direct and quick method was to devour demon spirits.

Devouring demon spirits, absorbing soul power, allowed the demon spirit to grow rapidly.

But in this process, they might absorb the innate skills of the devoured demon spirit, and there’s no avoiding it, as it’s not something the Demon Spirit Master can control.

They could also devour lower-grade demon spirits without innate skills or without high compatibility, which wouldn’t yield soul skills, but that would be a waste of money and wouldn’t benefit the demon spirit’s growth.

Only by properly absorbing soul skills can a demon spirit grow quickly.

Yu Qiao and Yang Ningbing’s Lifebound Demon Spirits had grown to Sixth Grade, with six soul skills full and unable to absorb more.

Zhan Tianyu’s Lifebound Demon Spirit had also grown to Sixth Grade, but he had absorbed five soul skills, allowing room for one more.

Ye Qiu and Yun Kai’s Lifebound Demon Spirits had reached Fifth Grade, currently possessing four soul skills, making room for one more.

Little Sister Dong’s Lifebound Demon Spirit had also reached Fifth Grade, but was already full.

Yue Mingming, due to a special demon spirit, had the Lifebound Demon Spirit at the lowest level, only Fourth Grade.

However, he had only absorbed two soul skills, allowing room for two more, which was the reason for everyone’s envy.

”Hehe, it’s enjoyable to fantasize, isn’t it?”

Yu Qiao chuckled, letting out a mischievous laugh.

The others were used to it, showing little reaction.

Even Yang Ningbing just showed a look of disdain, too lazy to respond.

”Are you all planning to absorb it directly?” Lin Feng asked Ye Qiu and the others.

Except for Yue Mingming shaking his head, Ye Qiu, Yun Kai, and Zhan Tianyu all nodded.

”I plan to absorb it before entering.” Zhan Tianyu said.

Two days ago, he absorbed a Diamond soul skill for his fifth soul skill, which was powerful but didn’t give him much security in the key battle.

Now with a divine level soul skill, he wouldn’t feel at peace without absorbing it for a better chance of success in the Land of Chaos.

Ye Qiu and Yun Kai clearly shared the same thought.

”Brother Feng, continuously helping us absorb soul skills, are you okay physically?”

Yun Kai hesitated for a while, worried as he asked.

At those words, the joy on everyone’s faces vanished instantly.

They hadn’t forgotten that this special ability came at the cost of consuming Lin Feng’s life.

The ability was too special and too powerful.

The claim that this ability was Lin Feng’s bloodline talent was met with skepticism.

Such an evil and bloodthirsty aura and power, how could it be a bloodline ability?

Where would such a bloodline talent exist?

In their opinion, the cost could be more than just depleting life force.

”If you can’t hold on, just say so, don’t push yourself. Absorbing the soul skill later or us doing it ourselves is fine.”

Yang Ningbing looked at Lin Feng, speaking seriously.

Divine level soul skills were important, but so was Lin Feng.

Apart from the friendship forged in battles over this time, Lin Feng was also the leader of the Avengers Alliance and the owner of the ”Heart Contract.”

The nine of them had signed the contract with Lin Feng, and if anything happened to him, the contract would cease to exist, inevitably leading the alliance to dissolve.

”I know my limits.”

Lin Feng said, not wanting to discuss the topic further.

The last time, assisting multiple people in absorbing soul skills did speed up the assimilation.

Lin Feng could feel that the Nightmare had surpassed Fifth Grade, becoming more intelligent and emotionally stable.

Simultaneously, the Nightmare was becoming more compatible with his body.

This was what Lin Feng was most worried about.

But now was not the time to think about it.

With the upcoming entrance to the Land of Chaos, the mood was already heavy enough, and Lin Feng didn’t want to dwell on this.

”Since it’s decided, there are still two days, make good preparations.” Lin Feng said to Ye Qiu and the others.

Yue Mingming not absorbing the soul skill was the correct choice; the third soul skill had just failed, and absorbing a divine level soul skill now had too low a success rate.

As for Ye Qiu and the others, they were refining top-ranking demon spirits on the Earth Chart with high grades.

Especially Ye Qiu and Yun Kai, one with divine-level demon spirit, another with ancestral demonization, both with extraordinary talent. When Nightmare absorbs the stand soul skill, their strength will become even greater, and with his help, the success rate is quite high.

”There’s an auction tonight, do you want to attend?” Lin Feng shifted the topic.

”Of course, we do.”

Zhan Tianyu didn’t even think before responding directly.

He had been looking forward to this auction for a long time.

This auction, known as ”Tianqi,” though prepared on short notice, boasts a invaluable space ring as its centerpiece item to attract attention from major forces.

The National College Glory League is held, further gathering Shangjing’s elite. Besides various clubs, national renowned consortia and families are also assembled.

Coupled with the fusion of the Space Gate in the Land of Chaos, impending crisis has expanded this auction beyond expectations.

Its scope is unprecedented and rare in the world.

Zhan Tianyu knows that the family will also auction their treasured collection meant to guard the clan.

With impending crisis, holding onto these treasures is no longer meaningful.

Power is what truly matters.

Not only the Zhan Family, but the remaining nine clans of Shangjing will also participate in this auction, each bringing their treasured items. Other forces and financial groups will do the same.

Many rare treasures, enough to be centerpieces in normal auctions, are merely typical items at this auction.

”How many tickets do you have?”

Zhan Tianyu asked curiously.

This auction is large-scale, but there are only 500 spots available, selling only 300 tickets.

Each ticket sells for five million, earning the organizers 1.5 billion solely from ticket sales.

Five-million tickets aren’t affordable or accessible for common individuals, and the quantity is limited, even major forces can’t buy more.

As part of the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, the organizers gave the Zhan Family two tickets, and they purchased three, splitting five tickets without allowing a share for someone of his age.

”Ten.”

Lin Feng took out a handful of golden tickets from his pocket, given by Bu Zheng that morning.

”That many!”

Zhan Tianyu was somewhat surprised.

But it’s understandable, as Lin Feng himself is a key figure in the auction, providing the space ring as the centerpiece item; ten tickets aren’t too many.

”Let me see!”

Yu Qiao swiftly reached out and quickly grabbed a ticket, examining it closely.

Yu Qiao gazed at Lin Feng with eyes of envy and jealousy.

After this auction, Lin Feng will be a billionaire.

How many nice things can you buy with so much money?

Yu Qiao said obsequiously: ”Boss, after selling your ring, can you lend me a bit?”

Lin Feng glanced at Yu Qiao, with a hint of disdain.

”Your looks are average, but your imagination is extraordinary.”

”Haha...” Everyone laughed.

Facing the ridicule, Yu Qiao inwardly cursed, but kept a bright smile:

”Boss, we’re all in the same alliance, surely there will be many treasures at this auction. I want to borrow some money to buy resources and nourish my demon spirit. My Ghostly Serpent is about to break through; if it reaches Seventh Grade, I can absorb ’Illusion,’ which will improve the alliance’s strength, won’t it?”

”Adaptable!”

Watching Yu Qiao’s performance, everyone exclaimed.

Usually, Yu Qiao directly calls Lin Feng by name. A while ago, he even daringly called him little brother, but now, when needing demon spirit refinement, he’s calling him Brother Feng, and now even Boss with great enthusiasm.

”Can you pay it back?”

Lin Feng looked at Yu Qiao.

Though Yu Qiao dares to take risks, if he survives, he has great potential!

”I can pay it back, definitely pay it back.” Yu Qiao nodded quickly: ”If I can’t pay it back, I’ll sell my life to you, work off my debt for you.”

”Heh.”

Ling Feng smiled, ignoring Yu Qiao’s eager gaze.

Yu Qiao, Yue Mingming, and He Jun from the Avengers Alliance lack powerful backing, truly needing resources.

”Boss, during this trip to the Land of Chaos, I’ll definitely impress you!”

Yu Qiao raised his right hand, promising earnestly.

”Okay, I’ll consider it.”

Though Yu Qiao takes risks, his absorption of Illusion would truly benefit the alliance.

An Assassin might not be as formidable as a Warrior or Mage, but one top-level Assassin’s intimidation exceeds ten Warriors and Mages,

The enemy you can’t see is the most terrifying!

”Thank you, Boss, I’ll definitely impress you.”

Yu Qiao saluted.

”I want to rest a bit; you all scatter and regroup for dinner.”

Lin Feng waved, signaling everyone to leave.

After they left, he opened the closet and took out two Demon-Sealing Soul Artifacts from a bag.

Looking at the fist-sized demon spirits like clouds and elves, Lin Feng felt a little excited.

If not for national collection, even with money, he wouldn’t find such rare demon spirits.

The ”stand” soul skill is critical; though Nightmare has never failed to absorb soul skills, Lin Feng inevitably feels a bit nervous.
