God of Fishing

Chapter 732: Demon Spirit Shift

Xia Xiaochan lost her cool when she heard that Han Fei needed to do more deduction. “There is more work to do?”

Han Fei waved his hand and said, “It’s very simple. Look at the technique. It’s just a spirit-level one. There won’t be a problem.”

Xia Xiaochan sat down in front of Han Fei. Because her lower half body had turned into a tail, she had to move her tail aside when she sat down.

She didn’t care about Han Fei’s eyes that were fixated on her tail at all. She simply stared at him and asked, “Do you have any deduction techniques that may get you hurt when you use it?”

Han Fei raised his eyebrows. “Why do you say that?”

Xia Xiaochan narrowed her eyes and stared at Han Fei. “I should’ve discovered it sooner. Earlier, Uncle Faceless mentioned that she gave you a low-level disguise technique, but what did you give me? The Thousand Faces Technique, which is demon-level, divine-quality.”

Han Fei cackled. “I got that by accident!”

Xia Xiaochan tilted her head, not convinced. “What about the Majestic Mystic Spell? It’s demon-level, divine-quality too. Would you have gotten a heaven-level, divine-quality technique if you had stayed on the Scattered Stars Island longer?”

Han Fei was rather awkward. To be honest, he had really considered upgrading the Majestic Mystic Spell after the trip to the Snow God’s Temple.

However, he was still on the Scattered Stars Island back then.

If he upgraded the technique, it might increase five times his strength when he used it, which would make him too unbelievable and high-profile.

Now that Xia Xiaochan reminded him, Han Fei thought that it was truly necessary for him to deduce the Majestic Mystic Spell!

However, after he ran some calculation, he found that he was still too poor.

He needed ten million points of spiritual energy to deduce the Majestic Mystic Spell, and he only had slightly more than forty million in total. Who knew how much it would cost to deduce the Human Simulation Technique?

Xia Xiaochan gazed at Han Fei. “So you’ve got nothing to say? You do have a deduction technique, and it has side effects?”

Han Fei replied timidly, “Would you believe me if I say that the side effect is that it requires abundant spiritual energy?”

Xia Xiaochan’s eyes bulged. “You’re finally admitting it? Don’t you have tens of thousands of spiritual fruits?”

Han Fei silently gave a jade slip to her.

Confused, Xia Xiaochan accepted it and took a look. Then her expression changed.

“Demon Heritage Divine Technique?”

“Heaven-Level, Divine-Quality?”

“Hiss! It can break the barriers in your system and give you a Demon Heritage that can infinitely grow?”

Xia Xiaochan’s eyes widened. “Did you get this through deduction too?”

Han Fei wondered if he should present the Demon God Scripture. But on second thought, the Demon God Scripture was definitely not an unusual technique, considering its one-billion cost, which was much more than that of a usual technique.

The Indestructible Body merely cost a hundred million.

Void Fishing cost a hundred million too. Maybe it would require more in the next level. But when would he need that? Probably not until he became a peak-level Hidden Fisher.

Han Fei thought for a moment. “Don’t be excited. I only deduced this by chance.”

Xia Xiaochan was lost for words. “Why can’t I get something like this by chance?”

However, Xia Xiaochan was not an idiot.

The introduction of the Demon Heritage alone suggested that it wasn’t simple. If it could break the barriers in one’s body, it wasn’t a technique that anybody could have created.

Xia Xiaochan felt sorry for him. “Did you spend all your spiritual fruits on the deduction of this?”

Han Fei coughed and said, “Well, more or less!”

Xia Xiaochan asked, “You even vomited blood during the deduction?”

Han Fei said in embarrassment, “That was just an accident.”

Xia Xiaochan turned her head aside. “Idiot.”

Han Fei patted her tail and said, “Go and keep training. Try to finish the transformation sooner. I think they’ve found that the two Half-Mermen are missing. It’s only a matter of time that they find us. Right, when you feel that you’re done with training, see if we can dig a tunnel out from the bottom of the spring of demonic Qi…”

Xia Xiaochan asked in shock, “A tunnel underneath the spring of demonic Qi? You are a human being. You can’t possibly endure the demonic Qi.”

Han Fei smiled casually and said, “I’m fine. It’s fine for me to absorb it. Worst comes to worst, there’s still Mr. Hexagon Starfish. I can hide in its gates, and you can take it out through a tunnel from down below.”

Hexagon Starfish rolled its eyes. “I can’t! I can’t eat so much demonic Qi!”

Han Fei snapped, “Shut up! If I say you can, you can! You also have arrays. It should be a problem for you to endure for a while.”

Han Fei then turned around and looked at Xia Xiaochan. “You go and transform the demonic Qi. You’d better finish the transformation before they find us, or we won’t be able to find more demonic Qi for you.”

The Hexagon Starfish added, “Actually, it’s possible to transform spiritual energy into demonic Qi.”

BAM!

Han Fei threw a stone at it. “Why are you so talkative? You think you can do anything?”

“Puchi!”

Xia Xiaochan was amused by them and then moved into the spring of demonic Qi. “If it’s impossible to deduce it, don’t try too hard. We can always catch more Half-Mermen when we’re outside.”

…

Han Fei didn’t even need to think to know that the Advanced Human Simulation Technique was merely a simulation but not a real human being, so Han Fei deduced it without hesitation.

Immediately, information popped up.

Advanced Human Simulation Technique (Demon-Level, Low-Quality)

Introduction: This is a technique for a sea demon to copy human beings’ behavior and impersonate them in a more vivid way. Practicing this technique can increase the power of their battle techniques.

Superseding Art: Low-level Shapeshifting Technique

Deduction Cost: 0/2,000,000

Han Fei was truly delighted, as the price was merely two million. Although it was actually not cheap to infer a demon-level, low-quality technique with two million points of spiritual energy, it was still much more affordable than the Fish Transformation Technique.

“Deduce.”

This time, Han Fei didn’t bother to read the information. The low-quality Shapeshifting Technique, being low-level, couldn’t be suitable yet, and needed more deduction.

Therefore:

Han Fei spent five million to get the Advanced Shapeshifting Technique based on the low-level Shapeshifting Technique.

He then spent another ten million to get the Demon Shift Technique from the Advanced Shapeshifting Technique.

To Han Fei’s surprise, he finally got what he wanted!

He got what he failed to achieve with all his fortune earlier at a cost of merely twenty million points of spiritual energy at this moment!

Information popped up in his eyes.

Demon Shift (Heaven-Level, Mid-Quality)

Introduction: This is a transformation technique for a sea demon to turn a body into human beings’ and practice most of the human battle techniques. They’ll be basically the same as human beings after they’re familiarized with the body system of human beings.

Superseding Art: Unknown

Deduction Cost: 0/20,000,000

Note 1: It’s easy to be seen through. Demonic Qi may be revealed during battle, when it’s hard to keep the disguise.

Note 2: Requires a Spiritual Heritage above level-six.

Han Fei couldn’t be more excited. It was finally here again! This Demon Shift was obviously immature. Then its next level would definitely be fine.

As for a level-six Spiritual Heritage?

Hehe. Xia Xiaochan had a growing Spiritual Heritage in the first place. He didn’t know what her level was exactly, but since she had become such a perfect mermaid, her Spiritual Heritage must be above level-six.

“Keep deducing.”

Demon Spirit Shift (Heaven-Level, High-Quality)

Introduction: This is a transformation technique for a sea demon to turn a body into human beings’ and practice most of the human battle techniques easily. They can engage in most professions of human beings and look no different from them.

Superseding Art: Unknown

Deduction Cost: 0/50,000,000

Note 1: The original form may be exposed in a crisis. It’s very hard to tell unless it’s exposed on purpose.

Note 2: Requires a Spiritual Heritage above level-seven.

“Phew!”

Han Fei rose and grinned. He was about to inform Xia Xiaochan of the good news, when he saw abundant demonic Qi flowing into Xia Xiaochan’s body.

Han Fei simply pulled the Hexagon Starfish and asked, “What happened here?”

The Hexagon Starfish rolled its eyes quickly. “I don’t know! I think she’s voluntarily absorbing the demonic Qi, isn’t she?”

Han Fei asked furiously, “What do you mean you think? Is she or isn’t she?”

The Hexagon Starfish replied, “She is!”

Han Fei sat down at the entrance of the cavern. “Okay, let’s just wait for her.”

While he waited, Han Fei copied the Demon Spirit Shift by the way, hoping to give Xia Xiaochan a surprise after she completed the transformation.

He waited for a day and a night.

Xia Xiaochan hadn’t woken up yet, but Han Fei sensed the quakes on the wall.

His expression changed greatly. “Not good. How can they be coming already?”

Han Fei looked quite awful. At this moment, Xia Xiaochan was still cultivating. There might be dire consequences if she was disturbed.

Six hours later, the wall trembled harder and harder.

Suddenly, Han Fei sensed that someone had just scanned his body.

“Shoot! An expert!”

Han Fei’s expression changed greatly. He hadn’t detected the enemy yet, but the enemy might have already found him!

What did it mean? It meant that the enemy had keener senses than he did!

Not that Han Fei was narcissistic, but he didn’t think any Hanging Fishers had a wider perception ranger than he did!

Even the Hanging Fishers usually couldn’t sense something twenty kilometers away. In any case, it meant that the enemy was at least a Hanging Fisher, and not a beginner one.

Han Fei instantly gritted his teeth and stuck the Hexagon Starfish to his shoulder. He said with cold eyes, “Seed, it’s all up to whether or not we can weather through the demonic Qi. If I die, you’ll die too… Let’s do this!”

The Hexagon Starfish asked in fright, “What are you doing? Noooooo…”

Shua!

Han Fei simply entered the spring of demonic Qi.

…

Up above.

A Half-Merman expert roared, “Damn it! It’s really a human being! They’re trying to break the demonic Qi barrier! Get out of the way! I’ll dig down there in person!”

Boom…
