Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 680: Chapter 503: Magician

Bu Yuanlong’s form gradually withdrew from the Dragon Transformation state.

Although he defeated his opponent, he did not seem even slightly joyous. Instead, he appeared somewhat dejected, with an air of sadness.

”Is he your brother?”

Watching Xu Rongguang’s departing figure, Bu Yuanlong’s expression was somewhat complicated.

Although Xu Rongguang did not answer, his slightly stiff body had already confirmed the answer for him.

He finally understood why he had never met Xu Rongguang before, yet the other party still gave him a vague sense of familiarity.

Everything now had an answer.

Why Xu Rongguang, with his popularity, chose to participate in ’Might Makes Right,’ why he chose to challenge and mock him in the third round, and why he repeatedly mentioned ”Fish Dragon Transformation”...

He is Xu Sheng’s younger brother!

Xu Sheng was his former roommate and his best brother.

The two of them were once recognized as prodigies, possessing the same body attributes, and both refined Earth Chart Demon Spirits. In terms of cultivation talent, Xu Sheng was even more excellent than him but lacked bloodline talent.

He obtained the ”Fish Dragon Transformation” cultivation technique, and Xu Sheng, who had the same attributes, also practiced it, but he did not persist as long. He died nine years ago in a corporeal explosion.

Now, only he remains barely alive.

Twenty years ago, he had met Xu Rongguang at university. At that time, Xu Rongguang was just a twelve-year-old child, a shy boy who always hid behind his older brother.

”Sheng, your brother has grown up. He is different from you; he has a Fire Attribute, is more handsome than you, taller, and his talent is even more outstanding. His popularity is incredible....”

Retracting his gaze, Bu Yuanlong slightly lowered his head and sat down on the ruins.

Although Xu Rongguang failed the challenge, he still made the audience cheer for him and various major forces desire him.

If this battle continued, who would win or lose is uncertain.

Xu Rongguang gave up, simply not wanting to take the risk.

Xu Rongguang flapped his wings and flew to a neighboring arena. The person on the arena turned pale at the sight of Xu Rongguang wanting to challenge him, cursed, and then left the stage.

He had already won two consecutive matches, and winning one more would secure a student quota. Giving up now was a pity, but not giving up meant direct elimination.

Seeing his opponent give up, Xu Rongguang had no reaction. He glanced at Bu Yuanlong, who was not far away, and also sat down and closed his eyes.

The battle between Xu Rongguang and Bu Yuanlong left the audience in awe. The duel between two Earth Chart Demon Spirits made people’s blood boil, but this grand gathering, where powerhouses were numerous, did not solely focus on the brilliance of these two, and soon the audience’s attention was drawn to another battle.

This battle was between a young man and a middle-aged man.

The young man was named Mo Fei, dressed in a very unique manner, wearing a robe of black, white, and red, with a tall hat and holding a magic staff. His attire resembled that of a magician, and his attacking style was very similar as well.

His opponent was a middle-aged man wielding a long spear, named Jiang Kuo, a Demon Spirit Master, but he primarily focused on Martial Arts.

He was a spear technique expert, his attacks extremely fierce. With a sudden charge, he was in front of Mo Fei, and the long spear in his hand let out a piercing whistle, like a cannonball, directly attacking his chest.

But at that moment, Mo Fei’s body suddenly burst into dazzling and glaring light, causing Jiang Kuo to close his eyes abruptly, halting his attack.

Taking this opportunity, Mo Fei had already dodged away, and around his body, mirrors began to emerge, numbering three to four hundred and spaced one meter apart, occupying the entire battlefield in just over ten seconds.

Mo Fei had disappeared from his original position, his figure appearing within the mirrors.

In every single mirror.

Covered by the mirrors, Jiang Kuo’s expression slightly changed. He had never encountered such a bizarre attack and was at a loss about what to do, only able to spin his body and observe his surroundings vigilantly.

”Idiot, I’m right here!”

A mocking voice echoed from inside the mirror, like a reverberation. Jiang Kuo’s complexion turned even worse, and before he could react, a figure silently appeared behind him.

Jiang Kuo sensed something, his eyes shifted, and he turned his right hand, thrusting the long spear into Mo Fei’s chest, but it was like piercing through a mirror.

As the mirror shattered, the mocking voice appeared again behind him.

”Idiot, I’m right here.”

This time, Jiang Kuo didn’t turn around or use the long spear to attack but released an attack soul skill. As the flames swept through, the mirrors continued to dissolve, yet reappeared again.

Thus, Mo Fei used magical-like attacks to deplete Jiang Kuo’s soul power and physical strength, forcing him out of the competition.

”Indeed impressive,”

Lin Feng sighed.

This Mo Fei’s strength is not particularly strong, his Lifebound Demon Spirit is unknown, but he clearly absorbed the Mirror Image soul skill, which was also Lin Feng’s first soul skill.

However, the development directions of the two were entirely different. Lin Feng regarded it as a simple copying soul skill, while this Mo Fei developed it very well.

The soul skill level Mo Fei absorbed was not high, and it couldn’t compare to Lin Feng’s team, but the battle process seemed like a magic trick. The opponent, clearly stronger than him, helplessly flailed around like a headless fly amidst his attacks, quietly getting dealt with by him.

”Mo Fei.”

When this young man used the same method to deal with another opponent, securing a student quota in advance, Lin Feng remembered his name.

This Mo Fei, like Xu Rongguang, attracted the attention of many forces. His combat style was too unique; even a top master unexpectedly failed at his hands.

On the internet, his magician-like attire and astounding combat style were causing his popularity to skyrocket continuously.

”It’s not just the mirror image that’s simple; he also absorbed the Clone soul skill.”

Ye Xing added, his tone equally amazed.

This Mo Fei not only had great strength but also had the mood and energy to wave his hat to the audience during the intense battle, indicating he always controlled the battle’s rhythm and hadn’t exerted his full strength.

Naturally, it also indicated he loved to show off.

”It’s a pity this Mo Fei didn’t join the Glory Alliance.”

Yun Tianqi also spoke.

No need to say more, just with this strength and an impressive fighting style, there is no doubt he’ll be an All-Star, not to mention that Mo Fei loves to show off so much.

Besides Mo Fei, there is another person with extremely high popularity.

This is a young man named Wang Dali, whose appearance is average, dressed in a green long robe, styled like an ancient hero, with extremely proficient swordsmanship and a stylish Sword Control Technique.

There are many strong contenders, the battles are very exciting, and the audience’s emotions remain excited.

When the battles ended, and 34 spots were decided, continuous applause and cheers erupted like a tsunami.

The student spots have been decided, which means it’s over, with no post-game news segment.

At this time, a series of highlight clips began to appear on the light curtain...

Although the contest is over, the vast majority of the audience is unwilling to leave.

This ’Might Makes Right’ knockout round was far more exciting than the ’Popularity Vote’, with some contestants excelling in both strength and popularity.

Some contestants could easily obtain student spots even participating in the popularity vote.

After the contest ended, those who obtained student spots did not leave, and some directly recruited the helpers they wanted on site.

Those eliminated were also happy to accept, as no one wanted to give up on the chance of King Becoming.

Thus, opponents became allies.

All who entered the ’Might Makes Right’ knockout rounds are masters; although eliminated, their strength is far superior to that of a normal Ninth Grade.

This kind of strong alliance caused Zhang Junhao and Zhao Zhou and others’ expressions to change slightly,

Their strength is not inferior to other students, but the gap in strength among their helpers is somewhat wide.

At this moment, they even had thoughts of replacing their helpers.

Bu Yuanlong returned to Lin Feng’s team.

”What happened?”

Lin Feng asked with a hint of concern, noticing Bu Yuanlong’s unusual expression, thinking it might be a problem with the cultivation technique’s aftereffects.

Although Dean Bu defeated Xu Rongguang this time, it wasn’t that easy; the cultivation technique hadn’t broken through and this burst of strength drained his life force.

It was just that Lin Feng didn’t know how much lifespan was depleted.

A month or several months?

Fortunately, Xu Rongguang gave up in time, otherwise, he would have made Dean Bu give up as well.

”It’s nothing, just thought of some past things.”

Bu Yuanlong shook his head slightly, not explaining much.

”That bastard better not cross paths with us in the future.”

Yu Qiao said in dissatisfaction.

Originally, Bu Yuanlong could have won without fighting, who would have thought Xu Rongguang would come and mess things up, causing a lot of life force to be depleted. If there’s a chance, he must be taught a lesson in the future.

The other people also nodded one after another.

This wasn’t just talk.

Although Xu Rongguang is already a Half-Step Spirit King and can break through to the Spirit King Realm at any time, they are no match for him, but battles are not simply one-on-one.

If it’s a team battle, with their strength and cooperation, even against a Spirit King powerhouse, there would be a chance to take him down.

Moreover, with their talent and cultivation speed, it won’t be long before they have the chance of King Becoming.

Giving a lesson is not a difficult matter.

Seeing everyone wanting to give Xu Rongguang a lesson, Bu Yuanlong somewhat helplessly explained: ”That’s a brother of an old acquaintance of mine, if you encounter him, take care of him if you can.”

”Brother of an old acquaintance?”

Everyone exchanged glances, sensibly refraining from further questioning and abandoning the idea of teaching Xu Rongguang a lesson.

Bu Yuanlong didn’t need to find helpers, and Lin Feng’s team also didn’t need to form alliances with others, so everyone didn’t linger, refusing interviews from numerous reporters, and quickly left the venue through a special passage.

At this time, the major forces hadn’t left; they began to take action, including the Yang Race...

’Might Makes Right’ is over, with 68 student spots determined, but the starting time of the King Becoming plan has yet to be determined.

During this period, each popular student occupied the front pages of major news outlets, with their strength and experiences becoming hot topics of discussion.

Many students began attending various commercial and endorsement events, seizing the last chance to make a fortune, using every possible means to enhance their strength.

Among the strong contenders, Lin Feng’s team’s fame and popularity are high, but they are not favored, keeping unusually low profiles during this time.

Just as the nation awaited the true start of the King Becoming plan, no one expected Dream Celestial King of the Pure Land to appear outside Zhouyun City.

Every deep night, like a ghost, he weaved through the groups of Demon Beasts.

Whenever he passed, the Demon Beasts would become uncontrollable, stopping in place shuddering as if struggling against something, meanwhile, in the Demon Beasts’ eyes would appear an inconspicuous dot, alongside flashing pink light, expanding at a visible speed.

When the pink dot occupied the entire beast’s eye, the Demon Beast would completely calm down, and a few seconds later, the pink light would dissipate, restoring the beast’s eyes to their original state.

After a month when the entire area of advanced Demon Beasts within a hundred kilometers was under control, he finally stopped, revealing a pair of pink eyes and an excessively handsome face.

Having not rested for a month, his expression appeared very fatigued.

”Sigh.”

Surrounded by the Demon Beast herd, he sighed, turning to look in the direction of Shangjing, his eyes showing a hint of guilt: ”I didn’t want to either, but they offered too much.”
