Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 304: Chapter 229: Each Employs Their Own Means

”Brother Hai Wei, what’s wrong with you?”

Nearby, Xue Ying looked at Hai Wei, whose expression had suddenly changed, and asked in surprise.

Following Hai Wei’s gaze, they were slightly stunned to find that Lin Feng had made a breakthrough.

However, given that Lin Feng’s strength was originally at the peak of the Fifth Grade, it was normal for him to break through to the Sixth Grade Realm with the help of the Spiritual Power Pool, should it really be that shocking?

Even at the Sixth Grade Realm, he still wouldn’t be a match for Hai Wei, so was there really such a need to be so astonished?

”It’s nothing.”

Hai Wei shook his head, his expression returning to normal. Although he had many questions in his mind, he did not reveal them at this moment.

Just a moment ago, he sensed a familiar aura.

Having practiced ”Fish Dragon Transformation” for ten years, he was most familiar with this type of aura.

At this moment, he finally understood why Lin Feng’s cultivation technique was of such a high level.

”Fish Dragon Transformation” is a cultivation technique comparable to the Divine Level.

Whether on the Divine Martial Continent or among the Human Race, there are only a handful of cultivation techniques that can compare with it.

If it was surprising to Hai Wei that Lin Feng practiced ”Fish Dragon Transformation,” then when he sensed the aura of the Fifth Transformation, he first doubted and then became somewhat frenzied.

Hai Wei clenched his fists slightly, struggling to contain his excitement.

As the grandson of the Dragon King, possessing the Giant Spirit God bloodline, he was gifted since childhood, his bloodline awakened, and he lacked nothing in resources. By the age of thirteen, he had broken through to become a martial artist and began practicing ”Fish Dragon Transformation.”

But even for him, it took ten years to complete the Fifth Transformation!

Thus, he was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius in the Dragon King Hall.

And Lin Feng?

He only broke through to become a martial artist two years ago!

The Alien Race’s cultivation techniques aren’t something the Human Race can easily learn, let alone ”Fish Dragon Transformation.”

In two years, Lin Feng achieved what it took him ten years to accomplish!

As the grandson of the Dragon King, he had an inherent advantage in cultivating techniques.

Hai Wei suppressed the shock and doubts in his heart, his gaze on Lin Feng now flashing with a fleeting hint of murderous intent and desire.

At this moment, he had already guessed what Lin Feng’s secret was.

It was the abnormal comprehension ability.

This ability far exceeded the demon fiend level, something no human could possess.

”All changes started from the Awakening Day!”

Since the Demon Spirit Realm incident, Hai Wei had assigned people to gather information on Lin Feng, hoping to uncover his secret.

Yet, no answers were found.

Lin Feng’s rise was too rapid and absurd.

However, it seems now that all of this is related to the Awakening Day!

”On the Divine Martial Continent, there are Divine Artifacts that can enhance Soul Power and Spiritual Power, but none that are known to grant the comprehension ability akin to a demon fiend.”

”Since everything happened after the Awakening Day, it’s possible that on that day, Lin Feng didn’t fail to refine but succeeded.”

”He simply refined a miraculous Demon Spirit, which endowed him with demon fiend-like talent. This ability was so unique that he had to hide the specialty of this Demon Spirit!”

”But what kind of Demon Spirit can grant such comprehension ability, even increase the success rate of absorbing Soul Skills?”

”None, it’s an undiscovered Demon Spirit!”

In his speculations, Hai Wei felt he was gradually getting closer to the answer.

However, he was puzzled as to why, if Lin Feng could refine this extraordinary Demon Spirit, his soul cultivation talent shouldn’t be lacking.

Then why would his second refined Demon Spirit be a First Grade Dragon Fish?

This low-level Demon Spirit would require astronomical resources to evolve into a high-level Demon Spirit.

Even if a Dragon Fish evolved into a high-level Demon Spirit, it couldn’t compare to Ninth Grade or Earth Chart Demon Spirits.

”’Fish Dragon Transformation’ and Dragon Fish Demon Spirit, are they for the cultivation technique?”

Hai Wei speculated.

”But if he refined a Demon Spirit, why didn’t the Demon-Revealing Mirror detect it on Awakening Day?”

”Lin Feng is an illegitimate child of the Yang Family, even if this Demon Spirit is special, surely the Yang Family wouldn’t need to hide it!”

There were still many inexplicable aspects.

Hai Wei felt a bit uneasy.

With such demon fiend-like talent, if Lin Feng is allowed to continue growing, at his cultivation speed, it might only be a few more years before Hai Wei himself won’t be a match for him.

Such a demon fiend must be hunted down in advance.

This secret, he must acquire.

As Hai Wei silently speculated, Lin Feng, leveraging the immense energy of the Spiritual Power Pool, continuously assaulted the congested meridians. His body trembled slightly, enduring the excruciating pain. After clearing the 61st meridian, Lin Feng proceeded to open three more meridians in succession. When he felt his body had reached its limit, he halted the absorption and slowly stood up, making his way to the shore.

”Has it taken the bait?”

Lin Feng’s gaze subtly swept toward Hai Wei’s direction.

Two years ago, in the Demon Spirit Realm, after showcasing his Clone Soul Skill in front of Hai Wei, he knew he would inevitably attract the Alien Race’s attention.

The first soul skill absorbed was a Purple Gold Soul Skill, an astounding feat, achieving success in one go, a rare probability indeed.

Upon returning from the Demon Spirit Realm, through a special channel, he learned that after his departure, all the Alien Race members in the realm perished. With Hai Wei publicly claiming that he was the mastermind, Lin Feng knew Hai Wei had deduced something, harboring ulterior motives.

Lin Feng wasn’t surprised by this.

When you exhibit a demonic talent, you will inevitably draw others’ attention.

And when your cultivation speed far surpasses that of a prodigy, or when you possess something unique, people will inevitably harbor doubts, even speculating whether you have any secret?

Hai Wei wouldn’t be the first, nor the last.

Only, at this moment, Lin Feng didn’t wish to reveal himself too early.

Earlier, when making a breakthrough, deliberately leaking out the aura of his cultivation technique was merely to lure the fish to the hook.

Just as Hai Wei wished to kill Lin Feng, Lin Feng felt the same.

Shortly after Lin Feng completed his ritual, Yun Kai also emerged from the Spiritual Power Pool.

Originally at mid-rank of Fifth Grade, Yun Kai now reached high rank of Fifth Grade. A single cleansing not only transformed his body but also saved him three to four months of arduous cultivation.

Little Sister Dong and Yue Mingming remained at the Peak of Fourth Grade, not having made a breakthrough, though they were just one step away from advancing to the Fifth Grade.

It wouldn’t be long before they broke through.

This cleansing saw three individuals break through to the Sixth Grade Divine Fist Realm, among them Lin Feng and Yu Qiao.

As the main force finished their cleansing and left the Spiritual Power Pool, substitute members entered the pool, though the pool’s energy was almost depleted by now.

Once the pool’s energy was exhausted, the substitutes also exited the water. The fragrance of the fruit grew richer, indicating the fruit was about to mature, and everyone’s eyes were fixated on the Elemental Fruit.

An Elemental Fruit valued at fifteen billion, enough to purchase a rare Demon Spirit with a Purple Gold Soul Skill, was a precious treasure for anyone.

The atmosphere turned subtle, undercurrents surging.

As time passed, the color of the Elemental Fruit became more vibrant, the patterns on the fruit’s surface clearer, and a peculiar scent filled the air, refreshing and soothing.

”Smells so good,” Little Sister Dong couldn’t help but say.

”Stay put.”

Lin Feng reminded.

Soon the Elemental Fruit would mature, inevitably leading to a chaotic battle.

Some were already preparing to seize it, while others, aware of their weakness, began to retreat from the battle zone to avoid being accidentally injured.

At this moment, accompanied by various roars, Human Race and Alien Race entered into Demon Possession, transitioning into Demon Transformation status.

Wisps of mist began spreading from the Spiritual Power Pool, but a fierce wind soon dispersed it. At the same time, thorns-laden vines emerged from the ground, spreading across the Spiritual Power Pool, swaying beneath the fruit tree.

Some wielded wings, remaining ready any moment.

As the fragrance turned somewhat pungent, the pattern on the Elemental Fruit began emitting a faint glow.

”It’s ripe.”

At the exclamation, chaos erupted for a moment.

”Whoosh”

An urgent sound of breaking air arose as someone, like a flash of lightning, flapped their wings, frantically flying toward the Elemental Fruit Tree, reaching out to seize the Elemental Fruit.

But before they could come within a meter of the Elemental Fruit range, a sudden gravity slowed their speed, followed by a myriad of attacks. With little resistance, these adventurers plunged into the pool.

The once-clear pool water was now stained red with blood. Unlucky ones floated on the pool’s surface, motionless, while others painfully struggled to escape the Spiritual Power Pool.

Lin Feng stood still, as did Zhan Tianyu and the others.

The fruit had indeed ripened, but approaching the Elemental Fruit Tree now would certainly provoke a siege.

Lin Feng held his ground, while Yun Kai and Little Sister Dong made their move.

Yun Kai controlled three long swords, shooting them toward the Elemental Fruit Tree, while Little Sister Dong entered Demon Transformation status, manipulating water to form a hand, reaching for the Elemental Fruit.

There were also Demon Beasts leaping from the pool, pouncing toward the Elemental Fruit.

Meanwhile, some people released Shadow Soul Skills, using shadows to join the skirmish.

Lin Feng too, entered the state of Demon Transformation, opened his mouth, releasing hundreds of bubbles toward the Elemental Fruit Tree. Continuously intercepted mid-air, loud explosions echoed, yet, one bubble managed to approach the Elemental Fruit Tree, transforming into Lin Feng’s shadow.

Purple Gold Soul Skill Phantom Clone.

Rumble!

With a thunderous roar, massive rock-sized stones descended from the sky, crashing thickly, making evasion difficult. Some people, having initially secured the Elemental Fruit through their means, found their efforts in vain.

With water splashing and consecutive explosions resounding, a myriad of soul skills unfolded, radiating brilliantly!
