Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 100: Chapter 89: Within Reach

Before returning home, Lin Feng had already tidied himself up; the bloodied wounds had been treated, and he had bought new clothes to wear.

Although injuries for a Martial Artist were commonplace, he didn’t want his family to worry, nor did he dare let them know he ventured into the Otherworld.

Tingfeng Garden Neighborhood.

To avoid trouble, Lin Feng wore a baseball cap to conceal himself after entering the neighborhood, and indeed, no one recognized him.

Upon reaching home, Lin Feng found his family had returned, and there was an additional person at home—his sister’s boyfriend, Chen Hao.

Chen Hao was dressed in a blue suit, looking quite refined. He sat with his elder sister on the sofa watching TV, but their attention was obviously not on it; they seemed a bit anxious. Hearing the door open, he quickly turned around and upon seeing Lin Feng return, promptly stood up: ”Xiaofeng is back.”

If it were before, as the future brother-in-law, although he was polite to Lin Feng, he would at most nod and wave, never showing such a gesture of standing up to greet.

But today was different from the past; he hadn’t changed in any way, but Lin Feng was already a whole different person.

In just a few days, Lin Feng had become the focus of billions in Jiang City, representing advertisements while still in senior high, gaining the Blue Moon Guardian, being hailed by the media as a super-genius and a future star of the Glory Professional Alliance. Any one of these identities was without comparison to him.

Now, even his parents regretted it deeply, and even felt a hint of trepidation in their hearts.

Who would’ve thought that the seemingly arrogant and laughable vow made by the youth in the box would be fulfilled in just a few days.

After that gathering, their family became the laughingstock in the eyes of relatives.

But when Lin Feng rose up, the mockery disappeared, yet they became examples of having short sight.

However, many relatives were envious, some even came to comfort and persuade them.

Because they could see that although Lin Feng was cold and hard to approach, his sister Lin Kerou was a gentle and sensible woman, and there was still hope for Chen Hao.

Although the relationship was now somewhat awkward, there were no fundamental issues. If Chen Hao could marry Lin Kerou, the benefits for Chen Hao’s family were evident, and as relatives, they could also share in the glory.

Being the relative of a future star of Glory was enough of a deterrent to make business partners wary, no one dared to provoke them easily.

Chen Hao’s parents originally regretted it, but after relatives and friends persuaded, they quickly called Chen Hao to apologize and see Lin Feng’s family’s attitude first.

If they could still become in-laws, it would undoubtedly be the best situation.

If not, they didn’t want Lin Feng to hold a grudge in his heart.

”Hmm.” Lin Feng nodded, which counted as a greeting.

He didn’t really think much of Chen Hao, even feeling he wasn’t worthy of his elder sister, but love was a matter between two people. Despite being the younger brother, he couldn’t interfere too much; he could only ensure no one dared to bully his sister, that was enough.

Although Lin Feng’s attitude wasn’t warm, even a bit cold, Chen Hao felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

Since Lin Feng greeted him and didn’t kick him out, it meant there was still hope, now it depended on his performance.

”No need to be so nervous, he is my brother, it’s fine.”

Lin Kerou squeezed Chen Hao’s hand, softly comforting him. She could feel her boyfriend’s tension, his palms damp with sweat, feeling both a bit heartaching and proud at the same time.

In a few days, her life underwent a drastic change; her mother resigned from her hard job and moved into a new home, all brought about by her brother.

Thinking of this, Lin Kerou couldn’t help but recall the Awakening Day, on the damp and dark stairs of the Shore District, her brother’s promise to her. She remembered feeling a bit disheartened and disregarding her brother’s words, never imagining they would actually come true.

Now she and Chen Hao faced no obstacles, and Lin Kerou felt very happy.

”What’s going on, you guys seem a bit off?” Old Ma asked, somewhat puzzled.

He always felt there was something off about Chen Hao today, even somewhat fearful. Although their family wasn’t the same as before, he didn’t think it warranted this reaction.

”It’s nothing, Lele, stop eating snacks, we’re about to have dinner.” Lin Kerou smiled slightly at Old Ma, then quickly shifted the topic.

At the dinner table, since their mother and Old Ma didn’t know what happened before, they treated Chen Hao the same as before, still warmly as if they already considered him a son-in-law.

This reassured Chen Hao slightly, and he tried hard to present himself well.

Lin Feng watched all this without commenting.

After dinner, Lin Feng watched TV for a while, then went back to his room.

Outside the living room, bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time, which brought a faint smile to Lin Feng’s lips.

This was the life he strived for, so his family wouldn’t have to worry about living, no need to turn off lights before nine o’clock, able to enjoy life to the fullest.

For this, he was willing to pay any price.

Pulling the curtains close, Lin Feng took off his shirt and stood in front of the mirror.

Lin Feng slightly closed his eyes, and when he opened them, a trace of blood-red spread from the center of his pupils, soon swirling like two dark red vortexes, appearing extremely sinister.

A dark red ghostly shadow enveloped his entire body, Lin Feng seemed to wear a red armor, an evil aura suddenly erupted from Lin Feng.

Evil, cold, violent, chilling.

Lin Feng had become accustomed to this aura, even from those dark red vortex-like pupils, he could feel the Nightmare’s gaze.

Today in Senhai, this Nightmare devoured over thirty First Grade Demon Spirits and a large amount of Demon Beast blood. No longer needing Lin Feng’s feeding, what truly unsettled Lin Feng was that the Nightmare’s color hadn’t reverted to black, instead, with the devouring of Demon Beasts’ blood, it became even more blood-red.

Lin Feng didn’t know if this was good or bad, but his endurance and recovery far surpassed common people, granted by this red Nightmare as new abilities.

Endurance and recovery might not directly boost combat power, but enhancing the physique was crucial for Martial Artists and Demon Spirit Masters.

Many Demon Spirit Masters choose Spiritual Power techniques with endurance and recovery.

However, refining Demon Spirits for endurance and recovery Demon Spirit Skills was very difficult.

Lin Feng now essentially had two more Demon Spirit Skills out of nowhere, as the Nightmare evolved, his endurance and recovery would likely grow stronger. This was good news for him.

With the Nightmare Possession, Lin Feng’s world became vibrant, every sense heightened tenfold.

Threads of visible Spiritual Qi continuously surrounded him, and due to their abundance, they appeared in a cyan mist form encompassing Lin Feng. After a minute, Lin Feng’s body was saturated, unable to accommodate more Spiritual Power, so he exited the Demon Possession state.

With Lin Feng’s current Soul Power, the Demon Possession lasted only a minute, but even in that minute, his body couldn’t fully absorb the Spiritual Power, more than half was absorbed by the Nightmare.

With the Spiritual Power absorption, strands of red meridians surfaced on Lin Feng’s skin, counting them revealed 87 strands, probably in a couple of days, he could break through to the Ninth Rank Body Cultivator.

”What terrifying cultivation speed, I’ve just reached the Eighth Rank Body Cultivator, and now I’m about to break through again.”

Lin Feng marveled, the effect of Demon Beast flesh and Nightmare, this cultivation speed was enough to astonish everyone.

If it weren’t for the previous life’s cultivation experience, even Lin Feng would worry about an unsteady foundation.

Lin Feng was confident, within three days, he could break through to the Ninth Rank Body Cultivator, within a month, he could become a Martial Artist.

The goal he once worked hard for was now within his reach.
