Merging with Demon Spirits
Chapter 627 - 455: Yun Kai’s Assertiveness
The aftereffects of a nightmare are indeed terrifying; assimilation is deadly, and there’s no solution to it.
Lin Feng’s efforts to enhance his power and his attempts to absorb soul skills might all ultimately be claimed by the nightmare.
This is why, despite its intelligence, the nightmare is still willing to assist Lin Feng in absorbing soul skills.
Because in the nightmare’s view, this body will eventually belong to it.
It’s helping itself, not anyone else.
Lin Feng understands the horrors of assimilation, but the benefits are indeed irresistible.
There are hundreds of types of demon spirits, each with different abilities; flying, burrowing, ever-changing, and some unheard of, but none are known to assist in absorbing soul skills or increase the success rate of absorption.
A good soul skill is sometimes more important to a demon spirit master than the grade of their lifebound demon spirit.
A good soul skill can transform an ordinary demon spirit master.
Once you use the nightmare’s ability, it’s hard to resist its temptation.
In two years, accompanied by the nightmare’s growth in power, the success rate of absorbing soul skills has also increased.
Initially, the absorption of soul skills with Dragon Fish could fail if the level was too high, but now the success rate is one hundred percent.
Three demon spirits, two diamond soul skills, one divine-level soul skill; Lin Feng absorbed them all successfully, and it took less than an hour.
Two days later.
In the hall, a group of people are holding demon-sealing soul artifacts, waiting for Lin Feng’s arrival.
In a moment, Lin Feng will assist them in absorbing soul skills.
This rescue mission is incredibly challenging, as the person to be rescued is very important. Lin Feng demanded fourteen divine-level soul skills initially, although he only obtained five; the other soul skills were rare and precious, all at the diamond level.
Some soul skills have power and effects not much less than divine-level ones, and are even more suitable.
About to absorb the soul skills they’ve longed for, everyone couldn’t hide their excitement, except Yun Kai, who looked solemn.
He seemed restless today for some unknown reason, with a bad premonition that something terrible might happen.
"What’s the excitement about? So inexperienced."
Seeing Bing’s trembling hands holding the sealing demon soul skill, Yu Qiao laughed mockingly.
Bing felt a bit embarrassed and smiled; he was indeed excited.
Today, others are absorbing soul skills, but he is going to refine a demon spirit, the blood-colored scarecrow.
This is an opportunity to change destiny!
Three months ago, when Lin Feng informed him of the possibility of finding the blood-colored scarecrow, he expelled his lifebound demon spirit from his soul sea without hesitation.
All sacrifices were for this day.
With his bloodline powers, as long as he can refine the blood-colored scarecrow, Bing believes he will no longer be a burden to his teammates.
Even if he is an abnormal person, he shouldn’t be easily abandoned.
For Bing, today’s significance is the same as six months ago when he joined Lin Feng’s team; it will change his destiny.
On Awakening Day, he refined an eighth-tier demon spirit; this time, he’s refining an Earth Chart demon spirit, directly jumping two grades.
With the ranking of the blood-colored scarecrow, it’s not just a simple matter of two grades.
Were it not for the blood-colored scarecrow’s innate skill greatly matching his bloodline power, combined with knowing Lin Feng’s special ability, Bing wouldn’t have had the courage to refine it.
Although he wants to appear calm, he can’t do it; facing Yu Qiao’s mockery, Bing isn’t angry.
He’s been in the Avengers Alliance for only half a year, and knows somewhat of the members’ personalities.
Yu Qiao has a typical trash-talking personality, with a sharp tongue but no malice.
"Haha."
Bing said nothing, just grinned foolishly.
"Such a foolish grin."
Yu Qiao rolled his eyes, internally murmuring ’fools have their luck’.
At this moment, he even envies Bing a little.
Forget the bloodline talent; Lin Feng indeed found the blood-colored scarecrow for him. If refining is successful, its potential is imaginable.
"Yu Qiao, you little brat, don’t be too arrogant; Bing will soon refine an Earth Chart demon spirit, with such a high level, paired with bloodline power, don’t cry when you get beaten."
Yun Tianqi laughed and said.
"Bullying me? Ridiculous!"
Yu Qiao sneered as if he heard something unimaginable, "The only ones in the alliance I have to be wary of are Lin Feng and Dean Bu; who else qualifies?"
The remark was arrogant.
Extremely arrogant.
So arrogant that after speaking, Yu Qiao’s figure disappeared, as he feared getting mobbed.
"What an idiot."
The group laughed without paying much attention.
Having an idiot in the alliance has its perks, like lightening the mood.
Among the laughter, Yun Kai appeared particularly silent; his expression was grave and serious, lacking the excitement and joy of impending soul skill absorption.
The group, who had been laughing, was momentarily taken aback upon seeing this, and soon the laughter dissipated, leaving an eerie and heavy atmosphere.
"Apart from Bing refining a demon spirit, why don’t we absorb the soul skills ourselves."
Dong Yunan glanced at Yun Kai, then quietly suggested.
After a few seconds of silence, Ye Qiu was the first to nod and said, "Mm, I support it."
With his talent and the level of the Thorny Demon Dragon, even on his own, the success rate of absorbing a Soul Skill wouldn’t be low. However, without guaranteeing the success rate, he couldn’t freely select the desired Soul Skill.
"Indeed, that works."
"It’s more than enough. Lin Feng has already helped us absorb four or five Soul Skills."
"Even Yu Qiao has a Divine Level Soul Skill, that should be satisfying enough."
Everyone nodded in agreement, even Yu Qiao made his presence known without any objections.
Of course, even if someone had a different thought, no one dared to express it at this moment.
Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing exchanged a glance, both revealing a wry smile almost simultaneously.
Without Lin Feng’s support, they were not confident in absorbing a Divine Level Soul Skill.
The possibility of failure was too high.
If they failed, it would truly be a waste of such heavenly resources.
To ensure the success rate, they would wait until they broke through to become a Spirit King to absorb it.
Even as a Spirit King, the highest success rate would only be one-third.
Having excellent Soul Skills but being unable to absorb them is torture for a Demon Spirit Master.
But for Lin Feng’s life, they had no choice.
"Brother Feng is here."
Little Sister Dong said as they sensed Lin Feng approaching.
"Since we’ve decided, our stance should be firm. No double-dealing."
Yun Kai scanned the crowd, his expression serious with a hint of warning, his words somewhat blunt.
Yun Kai’s words left everyone exchanging looks, a bit surprised, but not upset.
Within the alliance, Yun Kai had always been uncontentious and never in conflict with anyone. As a known nice guy, it was his first time showing such a strong stance.
"What’s going on?"
Entering the hall and sensing the atmosphere was a little off, Lin Feng asked puzzled.
"Nothing much, we’ve decided to rely on ourselves to absorb the Soul Skills."
Yun Kai said.
"Yeah, always relying on you to absorb Soul Skills, we’ve become dependent on it. I almost forgot that I refined the Thorny Demon Dragon myself." Ye Qiu also smiled and said.
"What’s so great about a Divine Level Demon Spirit? Showing off for nothing!"
Yu Qiao said disdainfully.
Lin Feng smiled, understanding that everyone was worried about his long-term after-effects.
"Alright, I know my own body. I’m not that great. Although you are all geniuses, your lives aren’t as valuable as mine. I wouldn’t sacrifice my life for you, I know my limits."
Lin Feng said with a smile, appearing relaxed.
"Brother Feng, you’ve already helped us absorb quite a few Soul Skills, it’s enough..."
Yun Kai said, but before he could finish, Lin Feng’s gaze swept over sharply, and Yun Kai paused, furrowing his brow.
He didn’t want to upset Lin Feng but didn’t want Lin Feng to get into trouble either.
Yun Kai’s gaze gradually became resolute and continued to say, "With our talents, even if the Soul Skill level is slightly lower, it’s not a big deal. If something happens to you, this alliance would be finished, without any reason for its existence!"
Yang Ningbing also persuaded, "Lin Feng, you’ve already helped us enough. Now you just need to help Bing refine the Blood-colored Scarecrow, and that will be enough."
"You say we’re not that important, and we’re really not that important."
Ye Xing smiled and said, "Even before joining the alliance, without your help, I was already one of Glory Alliance’s All-Star top ten, the alliance’s number one Frenzy Warrior. Don’t think too much of yourself or the Soul Skills."
Everyone persuaded, and Lin Feng felt somewhat moved but wouldn’t change his decision.
Ye Xing was right, the members of the Avengers Alliance were all geniuses. Even through their own efforts, they could become Kings or even Emperors in the future.
Lin Feng firmly believed this.
If there was no threat from the Alien Race, or if they were given more time, not much, just fifteen years,
In fifteen years, everyone would have matured.
But reality did not grant that much time.
The Alien Race is about to invade.
Within ten years, a war between the two worlds is bound to break out.
They had no time left.
Lin Feng could even smell the smoke and blood of future wars.
And the King Becoming plan was about to begin. If they couldn’t seize this opportunity, it would be a pity.
As long as they seize it, they could become Kings, rise to great heights.
Becoming Kings, with their uniformly High-Level Soul Skills, would give them the confidence to face the upcoming chaos. No more hiding strength, no more fear of assassination, no more worries about certain factions.
In the face of war, individual power is too insignificant, even a mighty Emperor cannot change the tide of battle.
"Enough."
Lin Feng said somewhat impatiently, and a violent and cold aura surged within him.
The crowd fell silent.
Yun Kai wanted to speak, but Lin Feng went directly to Bing and said coldly, "Begin refining the Demon Spirit!"
