Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 405 - 302: Clever Tricks

The bright room gradually fell into dimness as the dark mist spread, until it was completely dark.

The light was swallowed, and in the mist, everyone seemed to be plunged into a pitch-black night sky. Although they were less than a meter apart, they couldn’t see each other. They couldn’t even see their own hands when they lifted them.

"As expected of the Diamond Soul Skill!"

Accompanied by a gentle breeze, Yang Ningbing exclaimed.

Her second soul skill, absorbed as a support soul skill, was the silver-level Scouting Wind.

With her soul skill, she could sense buildings within a hundred meters and all heat-emitting life forms within a five hundred meter radius.

In the Demon Spirit Realm, it was because of this soul skill that everyone could quickly track the movements of the Alien Race.

However, when she used the soul skill now, even at a distance of less than two meters, she couldn’t detect Ye Qiu’s exact position.

She couldn’t feel anyone’s heat either.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was hidden in the darkness.

The pitch-black mist seemed to isolate spiritual power.

And this was the main feature of the Dark Night Mist.

As a Diamond Soul Skill, the support effect of this soul skill was indeed very strong and very suitable for Ye Qiu.

The Thorny Demon Dragon was originally a divine-level Demon Spirit, and with Demon Possession, his entire body was covered in hard thorns, which could freely control their length. The enemy had no place to attack, making him practically invincible in close combat.

In the Rookie Challenge, even with suppressed strength, the first Frenzy Warrior in the alliance, Ye Xing, was at a loss when facing Ye Qiu, who was like a hedgehog.

Generally speaking, close-combat professions are more afraid of Control Type Demon Spirit Masters.

Such as Plant Series Demon Spirit Masters.

But Ye Qiu was an exception.

The Thorny Demon Dragon’s innate skill, Hellfire, as a divine-level soul skill, could not be extinguished once it touched something, so Ye Qiu was not afraid even of Control Type Demon Spirit Masters.

As a Combat Mage, Ye Qiu could engage in both ranged and close combat, making him almost perfect.

His only weakness was spiritual power.

That is, illusion attacks.

A powerful Illusionist doesn’t need to make long-range contact but can attack Ye Qiu’s soul directly or trap him in an illusion realm.

Ye Qiu was obviously aware of his weakness, which is why he absorbed the Dark Night Mist.

The Dark Night Mist had the ability to block perception.

Compared to daytime, this soul skill was most suitable for use at night, which is why it was one of the soul skills loved by many Assassins.

Besides blocking perception, this soul skill could also devour spiritual power, offering strong resistance against spiritual attacks and illusion techniques.

This was somewhat akin to domain effects; when the soul skill was released, Ye Qiu’s vision remained normal, while the enemy felt like they were fighting in a pitch-black night sky.

For Ye Qiu, who excelled in close combat, this was a huge advantage.

Gao Qiang also favored close combat; as long as he could get him into the Dark Night Mist, Ye Qiu was confident he could defeat him.

The effect of the Dark Night Mist was well known to everyone, so they weren’t surprised.

What surprised them was that Ye Qiu had actually succeeded in absorbing it.

The fourth soul skill of a Lifebound Demon Spirit being a Diamond Soul Skill was truly incredible.

This record was not unique, but those who succeeded could be counted on one hand.

Out of these five people, two had already fallen, and the remaining three were renowned powerhouses.

Although Ye Qiu’s talent was extraordinary, and the Thorny Demon Dragon’s level was high, giving him an advantage in Demon Spirit refinement, there was no doubt that by the end, Ye Qiu was barely holding on and almost failing, or he wouldn’t have asked for help.

It was Lin Feng who stepped in and saved the day.

Although the evil and bloody aura had vanished, it still left people’s hearts uneasy.

If it weren’t for Lin Feng, Ye Qiu would have failed in the refinement.

The cost of failure would have been the hundreds of millions worth of Night Dragon Ash turning to dust.

Ye Qiu’s success also meant they could succeed as well.

When the night cleared, Ye Qiu had already exited Demon Transformation, and no one paid him any attention anymore. At that moment, everyone’s gaze towards Lin Feng was filled with shock and longing.

Undisguised longing.

Yu Qiao’s eyes were particularly bright, almost drooling.

Compared to the others, Yu Qiao’s family background was quite ordinary.

Ye Qiu and the others had the capital to experiment; he did not.

The soul skills he absorbed each had to have more than a fifty percent chance before he would take them in.

Yu Qiao had five soul skills: three silver, one gold, and one Purple Gold soul skill.

His soul skill levels weren’t high, not because of a lack of talent to absorb high-level soul skills, but simply due to a lack of resources.

In other words, lack of money.

He couldn’t obtain high-level soul skills.

Even if he could get them, he didn’t have the confidence to absorb them.

Failing once would result in immediate bankruptcy and possibly slow down his cultivation speed.

Ye Qiu and the others could attempt multiple times until successful, but he couldn’t afford even one try.

So Yu Qiao could only absorb some lower-level soul skills to ensure success.

Otherwise, his abilities would be far beyond that.

It’s not just Yu Qiao; many Demon Spirit Masters face the same dilemma.

The vast majority of Demon Spirit Masters are very poor.

Extremely poor!

Not everyone lacks resources; the heirs of noble families and corporate young masters are just a tiny minority.

Now, with Lin Feng’s appearance, Yu Qiao saw hope.

So he was more excited than anyone else.

"Brother Feng, how did you do it?"

At this moment, Yu Qiao turned into a primary school student, asking sincerely.

The former reference to Lin Feng had automatically upgraded to Brother Feng.

"Let’s keep some mystery for the first time."

Lin Feng smiled gently, saying no more.

Seeing Lin Feng’s silence, Yu Qiao didn’t dare to press further and instead asked Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, do you know?"

Having successfully absorbed the soul skill, Ye Qiu was in a great mood, smiling, "Try it yourself and you’ll find out."
