Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 360: Chapter 267: Sacrifice

Looking at the suddenly appearing youth, He Jun was momentarily dazed, but quickly reacted, her heartbeat speeding up.

Change fate!

She dreamed of it!

She could have had a brilliant life, but because of one foolish choice, she became a loser, even dragging down her family. This time, she absolutely couldn’t miss it again.

”I want to!”

He Jun wiped her tears, her gaze becoming firm.

Stubborn as she was, she didn’t want to show weakness in front of anyone, nor did she need pity.

”I’m willing to give up everything for this!”

He Jun continued, looking at Lin Feng, vaguely guessing something.

It seems that her efforts were not in vain, someone saw the special value of her Demon Spirit, but it was not as she imagined, a big shot, but rather her rival Lin Feng.

Otherwise, Lin Feng had already given her a bottle of Qi and Blood Pill worth one million two hundred thousand, no matter how much he pitied her, he wouldn’t have specifically sought her out.

He Jun was self-aware, with her crew cut, unattractive looks, no figure, like a tomboy, Lin Feng would not take an interest in her.

One was a child of glory, the other a laggard, their status was worlds apart, their relationship like parallel lines, never intersecting.

He Jun didn’t ask what she needed to do, because she lacked the confidence, deeply afraid her hesitation would anger Lin Feng, and make him regret.

She only wanted desperately to seize this rare opportunity, the only chance to change fate, for this she was willing to pay any price.

And this opportunity was right before her.

Lin Feng has the strength, even with just a word, he could easily change her life, He Jun did not doubt this in the slightest.

”Any price?” Lin Feng’s eyes fixed on He Jun.

”Yes!”

He Jun’s gaze did not waver.

”If I asked you to drop out of Demon Star and stay by my side, would you be willing?”

Lin Feng asked.

He Jun didn’t hesitate: ”Willing.”

In her view, it was nothing much, she was very willing to do so.

As a laggard, not leaving Demon Star, with her strength, even if she graduated, there wouldn’t be a diploma, staying by Lin Feng’s side proved Lin Feng’s recognition of her, this was the opportunity to change her life.

”I don’t know what I’m capable of, but I’m willing to do anything.”

Worried Lin Feng might doubt her sincerity, He Jun continued to say.

”Mhm, then just follow me from now on.”

Lin Feng didn’t continue to ask more.

He obtained information about He Jun from Huang Tianze, knew that she had a possibly paralyzed injured brother, thus he didn’t doubt her sincerity.

Seeing Lin Feng agree, He Jun quickly caught up, with a look of joy in her expression.

The two drew a lot of attention from students, none expected how He Jun, a laggard, managed to hobnob with Lin Feng?

What intersection could there be between these two?

Only some people vaguely speculated, but they didn’t care.

If He Jun was truly valuable, she wouldn’t have been abandoned by the school.

”Your Demon Spirit is very special, what is its innate skill?” In a secluded path, Lin Feng asked.

He Jun quickly replied:

”When the innate Soul Skill is cast, anyone attacking me will suffer backlash, for instance, passing by gets devoured, the strong get hurt, the weak lose life and become a sacrifice.”

”A damage rebound Soul Skill!”

Just as Lin Feng anticipated, but its power was far greater than he imagined, any Soul Skill touching the soul shouldn’t be underestimated.

However, what truly puzzled Lin Feng was He Jun’s use of the word ’sacrifice’ in the end?

”Why did you use the word sacrifice?”

Involving the soul, no wonder it makes Nightmare feel fear, Demon Spirits are essentially Soul Bodies.

It’s just that there are quite a few innate Soul Skills capable of devouring souls, but He Jun’s should be the most special.

After all, Nightmare is a Demigod.

How come an innate ability of a Demon Spirit is connected to sacrifice?

It sounds even more sinister than Nightmare.

He Jun explained, ”It’s my own feeling, when I use this innate skill, a black shadow appears behind me, it devours my Qi and Blood and Spiritual Power, my current state is the aftereffect, without the Pill, it takes three to four months to recover.”

”However, if I manage to kill a Demon Beast, the shadow behind me grows stronger, and it also feeds a portion of power back to me.”

”Feed back.”

Lin Feng frowned.

The term itself sounded extremely sinister. Moreover, he sensed something different.

”Can it devour humans too?”

He Jun hesitated a bit, but facing Lin Feng, who could change her family’s fate, she didn’t dare hide, cautiously saying: ”Yes.”

Lin Feng paused in his steps.

What He Jun said clearly indicated she had tried it.

He Jun bowed her head, her body trembling.

She obviously knew her ability was very evil, devouring enemies’ souls and flesh to grow, if this was known, who would trust and become her teammate? Her outcome wouldn’t be good.

If not to prove her value, to prove her potential strength, He Jun wouldn’t have revealed her secret to Lin Feng.

”Since it can feed back, why is your strength so weak?”

Lin Feng asked.

Logically, this innate skill is tremendously strong, absolutely a Divine Level Soul Skill, yet He Jun was already a junior, and her strength was only that of a Second Grade Martial Artist, seemingly without absorbing any Soul Skill.

He Jun smiled bitterly, ”The energy fed back is very limited, even the same-level Demon Beast is far less than one-third of the energy I am devoured, unless the sacrifices are strong enough, or in large numbers, but with my strength I cannot hunt powerful Demon Beasts, and this Demon Spirit cannot absorb Soul Skills.”

”No wonder.”

Lin Feng understood.

A Demon Spirit Master unable to absorb Soul Skills, or rather find a suitable Soul Skill, drastically affects strength, He Jun’s strength was too weak to hunt powerful Demon Beasts.

However, if she was a child of a noble family, or received help from teammates, then the situation would be different.

He Jun was clearly aware that her ability was too sinister, hence she didn’t dare tell others.

”Then why didn’t you replace the Demon Spirit?”

”I tried many times, but it couldn’t be replaced.” He Jun said helplessly.

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, feeling a sense of shared plight, as he himself couldn’t expel the Nightmare from his body currently.

”Among endless Demon Spirits, all sorts of strange abilities exist.”

Lin Feng sighed internally.

He’s even seen abilities controlling time, nothing was unacceptable to him.

As for whether abilities were evil, Lin Feng didn’t mind, the Nightmare within him was very evil too, it depended mainly on the person using it.

But if some assassins or cultists refined He Jun’s Demon Spirit, indeed, it would pose a great threat.

Killing could make one stronger, it’s a temptation.

Seeing Lin Feng unconcerned, He Jun breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a while, then said: ”Actually, I feel my innate skill is precisely offering sacrifices, depending on the sacrifice, the abilities obtained differ.”

”What do you mean by different abilities?” Lin Feng asked.

He Jun looked around, seeing no one, then whispered: ”Usually, I gain strength, secondly Spiritual Power, and possibly Soul Power.”

Lin Feng realized, hearing this, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

This thought made his blood boil.

”Can only you offer sacrifices, can others?” Lin Feng suppressed his excitement and asked.

He Jun was puzzled, not quite understanding what Lin Feng meant.

Lin Feng clarified: ”I’m saying, what if I offer the sacrifice, can I get the feedback?”

He Jun understood, she was somewhat surprised by Lin Feng’s train of thought.

”Probably not, after all, it’s not a Demon Spirit you refined, I haven’t told others the specifics nor tried.”

He Jun shook her head, feeling Lin Feng was a bit fanciful.

”We should try if there’s a chance.”

Lin Feng said, not giving up hope.

As long as there was a sliver of possibility, he wouldn’t give up.

”Even though it’s not a Demon Spirit I refined, if I make myself and He Jun a unified entity, wouldn’t it work!”

Lin Feng thought of a possibility.

Just the specifics of how to proceed, he hadn’t figured out yet.

At this moment, Lin Feng finally thought of a way to potentially solve the Nightmare in the future.

He was curious if one day, when Nightmare became uncontrollable, through He Jun, he could offer Nightmare, even himself, as a sacrifice to that mysterious shadow, what would happen?
