Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 266: Chapter 201: Back to the Starting Point

The arrival of Yang Qing sparked a murmur of whispers and commotion.

”Yang Qing, what’s he here for?”

Among the students, few knew Yang Qing, after all, the age and strength gap were too large, they were not on the same level, but as for the mentors, it was impossible not to recognize him.

Anyone capable of being a mentor at Red Cloud could not be weak, but the person before them was someone they looked up to.

Although separated by two Base Cities, his glorious battle records were something they had heard more than once.

Regarding his arrival, the mentors glanced at Yang Ningbing, seemingly understanding something, but they didn’t dwell on it much.

After all, even if it was Yang Qing, should he dare to interfere in this competition, they could easily suppress him.

In the face of the Three Heroic Academies, what was the Glory Race?

Bu Zheng slowly led Yang Qing in front of Deng Lun.

”Long time no see.”

Yang Qing greeted.

Although Deng Lun and Yang Qing weren’t very familiar, they had interacted a few times.

Knowing his proud nature, Deng Lun was somewhat surprised by his arrival, but refrained from asking too much, just as he was about to exchange pleasantries, his gaze suddenly paused on Yang Qing, with a fleeting look of surprise, then he reacted, somewhat emotionally saying:

”The last time I saw you was in the ’Fiery Prison’ Space Gate. I didn’t expect that after seven years, you not only obtained a Key but also absorbed a Clone Soul Skill.”

Only a peerlessly talented individual invincible at the Same Tier could possibly obtain a Key; even Deng Lun didn’t have a Key, even though his current strength surpassed Yang Qing’s.

And the Key was the secret to the Martial Emperor.

The future potential of Yang Qing was far greater than his.

As for the Clone Soul Skill, it was a highly coveted soul skill even for someone of his Soul King level.

This tier of soul skills was rare, one thing is scarcity, but absorbing it wasn’t that simple either, with a low success rate.

”Just lucky,” Yang Qing said indifferently.

Earlier, that look as if from a stranger, made his mood somewhat peculiar.

Was he being despised or ignored?

”You’re being modest. The Key can’t be obtained by luck. If you say it’s luck, then Lin Feng’s luck is even better than yours.”

Deng Lun pointed at Lin Feng in the arena, and with a smile said: ”To absorb a Clone Soul Skill as his fourth Soul Skill is simply unbelievable; your family’s young ones might be in a bit of danger this time.”

Yang Qing nodded. The Clone Soul Skill was his Eighth Soul Skill, yet Lin Feng absorbed it as his fourth Soul Skill, refining a Low-level Demon Spirit besides; extraordinary talent seems to be the only explanation.

”Uncle Thirteen.”

Yang Ningbing soon noticed Yang Qing’s arrival and wasn’t surprised because she had received news a few days earlier. She instinctively looked at Lin Feng, who was behaving very calmly.

Calm to an excessive degree.

Could it be that he didn’t recognize him?

”Alright, time’s up, let’s begin.”

With Deng Lun’s announcement, the competition officially commenced.

This match had no weapon restrictions, no rules, and even no referee.

Neither Lin Feng’s team nor the Red Cloud Team planned on trash talk, multiple lights flickered, accompanied by beast-like roars, the arena gradually quieted, and the mentors stopped chatting and began to watch the match attentively.

The combatants stood thirty meters apart.

Both teams adopted a 3-2 formation.

Lin Feng, Yun Kai, and Yu Qiao stood side by side at the front of the team, while Yue Mingming and Dong Yunan stood at the back.

Including Yang Ningbing, the three Mages stood at the front of their team, the Assassins and Therapists standing behind them.

As the match started, members of both teams quickly entered Demon Possession, transitioning into their Demon Transformation state.

Upon Yu Qiao’s Demon Possession, there was not much change, except for his pair of serpentine, eerie green eyes.

Yu Qiao walked with a twisting, irregular, snake-like gait towards Yang Ningbing’s team, as if treading on cotton, making no noise. After just three steps, his form silently vanished, as if merging with the air, extremely eerie.

The Ghostly Serpent’s innate skill was this ghost-like Body Technique.

As Red Cloud’s chief Assassin, Yu Qiao’s combat style was to eliminate opponents in stealth and surprise.

Beside Lin Feng, Yun Kai’s body emitted a dazzling golden light, like a small sun.

A series of crisp crackling sounds followed, his already towering stature of two meters directly surged past 2.3 meters, his muscles expanded further, looking as if sculpted from granite, as if cast from Gold, golden hair flowed, his entire body marked by dark golden lines resembling meridians circulating on his skin, intensely imposing, his originally brown eyes turned dark gold, brimming with dominance and ferocity.

Post Demon Transformation Yun Kai resembled a Golden War God.

In contrast to Yun Kai’s intensity, in her Demon Transformation state, Dong Yunan transitioned from her usual cuteness to an aura tinged with a hint of peculiarity.

Her previously slightly plump baby face slimmed significantly, her figure became more elongated, her eyes and hair turned a deep oceanic blue, and a complex, mysterious symbol appeared on her brow.

A pair of white arms were wrapped in blue scales, each swelling with half-meter-long, multicolored strands resembling tentacles sprouted from her elbows, swaying with the wind.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng did not enter a Demon Transformation state, and to outsiders, Yue Mingming, draped with five to six dozen long swords and carrying a longbow, appeared just a tool person, not warranting attention.

Opposite Lin Feng, Yang Ningbing quickly entered her Demon Transformation.

Yang Ningbing had refined the Earth Chart’s Thunder Dragon Beast. After Demon Transformation, her stature shot up, her pupils turned slit-like in the center of her dark purple eyes, and a pair of wings unfurled from her back.
