Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 381: Chapter 285: Defeat with Honor

The battle between Ye Qiu and Ye Xing ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

Although anticipated, the strength Ye Qiu displayed at this moment still surpassed most people’s expectations.

No one expected that Ye Qiu could actually battle Ye Xing and not be at a disadvantage.

Not only the audience, but Ye Xing was equally surprised.

”Impeccable~”

While dodging, Ye Xing glanced at the thorn-covered figure before him, and four words flashed through his mind.

Facing Ye Qiu, he couldn’t find a weak spot to attack in a short time.

No wonder it’s a divine-level demon spirit!

Though the Frenzied Giant Beast and Thorny Demon Dragon are both Earth Chart demon spirits, their rankings are not too far apart. However, the Thorny Demon Dragon is called a divine-level demon spirit, and in terms of rarity, it slightly prevails.

Of course, the grade and strength of a demon spirit are two completely different concepts.

”I need to get serious!”

Faced with Ye Qiu’s formidable offense, the evading Ye Xing suddenly stopped in his tracks. Seeing this, Ye Qiu didn’t stop attacking but his heart was on edge.

Although Ye Xing kept dodging, seemingly a bit helpless, Ye Qiu was not naive enough to think he held an advantage.

Despite holding back power and soul skills, Ye Xing was an All-Star player, and how could he be that simple?

Along with Ye Xing’s domineering roar, the audience immediately stood up, shouting madly:

”Ye Xing!”

”Ye Xing!”

Amid the cheers, a blazing fiery light emanated from Ye Xing, the abundant Qi and Blood Power seemed to ignite him. In this heatwave, the initially giant-like Ye Xing, standing two and a half meters tall, transformed again, his frame enlarged, reaching three meters high, and his initially frenzied aura became more terrifying.

The exaggerated but slightly uncoordinated muscle lines displayed unparalleled power and explosiveness. His originally bronze skin became pale, with a stone-like texture. Compared to Ye Qiu’s thorn-covered body, the transformed Ye Xing’s visual impact was even more astounding!

Frenzy!

The innate ability of the Frenzied Giant Beast.

Divine-level soul skill.

After performing Frenzy, Ye Xing’s gaze and aura became more ferocious, no longer with the previous elegant appearance.

”The battle is about to end!”

In the audience, witnessing Ye Xing performing Frenzy, the members of Juxing Team glanced at each other in surprise.

Usually, Ye Xing wouldn’t easily enter Frenzy state.

Unless he truly meets a worthy opponent.

The fact that Ye Xing performed Frenzy is enough to indicate Ye Qiu’s strength.

Frenzy is the innate ability of the Frenzied Giant Beast. Upon performing this soul skill, Ye Xing’s strength, speed, and defense, all attributes will double in a short period. In the Glory Alliance, competitive and teeming with talent, Ye Xing became the first warrior of the alliance, one of the All-Star players, precisely because of his excellent demon spirit development.

The Frenzied Giant Beast’s innate ability allowed him a second development.

Second Frenzy!

On the basis of the first Frenzy, all body attributes double again, totaling fourfold from the start.

With Ye Xing performing Second Frenzy, few in the alliance could confront him head-on.

Of course, age and experience hold an advantage. Even suppressing one’s strength, if Ye Xing performs Second Frenzy, it would indeed be overwhelming.

It’s a crushing dominance.

The gap in strength cannot be compensated by demon spirits.

”So strong!”

Watching Ye Xing’s formidable stance on stage, Yun Kai’s gaze revealed a trace of awe. Even though he wasn’t the one battling, even from thirty to forty meters away, he could still feel a sense of powerlessness.

This wasn’t cowardice, but a feeling.

Possessing the talent of Ancestral Demonization and refining the Earth Chart Golden Lion King, in terms of talent, Yun Kai feared no one. He believed his future would not be weaker than anyone, this confidence was gifted by talent.

But at this moment, facing Ye Xing’s might, he felt a bit powerless.

If Ye Qiu were replaced by him at this moment, perhaps he would appear even more powerless.

At this moment, not only Yun Kai was feeling powerless, but many others felt the same.

Even Lin Feng was amazed.

Ye Qiu doesn’t need to be mentioned, refining the 17th-ranked Thorny Demon Dragon from the Earth Chart, with a high grade, number one among national youth, rare for decades. Though he lacks battle experience and strength, as a divine-level demon spirit, the spirit’s advantages allow him to easily challenge higher ranks.

The first-grade demon spirit he refined, even though absorbing all Purple Gold level soul skills, has already evolved to fourth grade, and is near fifth grade demon spirit. But even so, he still cannot compare to Earth Chart demon spirits.

If soul skills are excluded, purely from the standpoint of innate skills and combat prowess with demon possession, there isn’t even a qualification for comparison.

As a team member and part of the alliance, Lin Feng understood Ye Qiu’s strength. What truly intrigued him was Ye Xing.

Or rather, he was interested in the Frenzied Giant Beast’s innate skills.

Frenzied Giant Beast, ranked 46th in the Earth Chart, innate skill Frenzy, divine-level soul skill.

This soul skill is very powerful. If he can find a Frenzied Giant Beast demon spirit, Lin Feng would be keen to absorb this soul skill.

His future path of cultivation doesn’t prioritize demon spirit development; due to the Fish Dragon Transformation technique’s after-effects, he can only follow the path of extreme body enhancement.

Both Fish Dragon Transformation and Blood Cry are fundamentally body refining techniques, and the diamond soul skill, Demon Transformation, which he absorbed, also focuses on body enhancement. Frenzy does as well, if both techniques and soul skills can be performed simultaneously, then he might fight even against King Level experts.

The only concern is the Dragon Fish not absorbing.

Dragon Fish is too weak, can its frail body absorb such Frenzy soul skills?

Even with Nightmare’s support, the hope isn’t large.

Unless, let Nightmare absorb.

But at this stage, Nightmare has already absorbed two soul skills, its strength has increased, and it is starting to stir restlessly. We absolutely cannot let Nightmare become even stronger.

”It’s over.”

Yu Qiao suddenly said from the side.

Lin Feng slightly came back to his senses, his gaze refocused on the battle.

In the frenzied state, Ye Xing’s physical attributes were doubled, his terrifying power far exceeded his opponent’s speed. Coupled with the advantage of battle experience, even when suppressing his strength, Ye Qiu couldn’t put up much resistance.

As many people expected, once Ye Xing entered the frenzied state, the battle ended quickly.

With the Thorny Demon Dragon possession, Ye Qiu was like a steel porcupine, making it impossible for anyone to approach. But after frenzy, Ye Xing’s arms were covered with profound iron, resembling a saber, tearing down with terrifying might, forcibly breaking through Ye Qiu’s defense. Amidst the sound of thorns cracking, he slashed into Ye Qiu’s chest, and though he had deliberately withheld power, the terrifying force still made Ye Qiu’s face turn pale as he collapsed to the ground.

However, in the instant he was knocked down, a surge of black flames suddenly covered Ye Qiu’s chest and ignited Ye Xing’s right hand. The profound iron covering Ye Xing’s right hand turned into molten iron in the blaze.

The molten iron dripped to the ground with a sizzling sound, but the black flames didn’t extinguish and continued to burn.

The ground quickly formed a deep pit.

”Terrifying flames.”

Feeling the burning sensation in his right hand, looking at the flames still burning at the bottom of the pit, Ye Xing’s eyes showed solemnity.

Thorny Demon Dragon’s talent skill, Hellfire!

Divine-level soul skill, legendary flames that cannot be extinguished.

If it weren’t for being covered in profound iron, if contaminated, he would have to sever his right arm.

”You’re strong, but still young. I look forward to your future.”

Exiting the demon transformation state, Ye Xing returned to normal, the rage in his eyes quickly subsided. As he spoke, he reached out his hand to Ye Qiu on the ground.

Ye Qiu did not refuse the opponent’s goodwill.

During the battle just now, Ye Xing gave him plenty of opportunities to perform, and the final attack, though seemingly ferocious, had restrained power. Had it not been so, he wouldn’t even be able to stand up now.

”Thank you, I’m your fan!”

Ye Qiu expressed his gratitude.

He never thought he could win. If he did win, he would be the one feeling unbelievable.

As the top warrior of the alliance, Ye Xing is his idol. Challenging his idol is something he really wanted to do.

Failure is normal, there’s nothing to be ashamed of!

”Is that so? It’s my honor!”

Ye Xing was slightly stunned. As an all-star player, he had many fans, but hearing Ye Qiu say this still pleased him. With a smile, he extended his left hand, clasped Ye Qiu’s right hand, and raised it high.

”Thanks to the two super talents for an exciting battle.”

With the announcer declaring the end of the battle, the applause from the crowd rose again.

”Ye Qiu!”

”Ye Xing!”

”Ye Qiu, you are the coolest!”

The clash of two Earth Chart demon spirits, two divine-level soul skills, the duel of two super talents made the audience cheer wildly, exhilarated. Though Ye Qiu lost, making Ye Xing enter a frenzy was glorious in defeat.

Even at only twenty-one years old, Ye Qiu has already shown a dazzling radiance.

Ye Qiu’s performance made the on-site atmosphere even more intense.

It should be noted, the highlight of this new star challenge match was not just Ye Qiu alone.

”These young people nowadays are incredible!”

In the VIP seats, Xu Luofei from the Fenghuo Team sighed.

Ye Qiu’s performance amazed him somewhat.

”Divine-level demon spirit, divine-level soul skills, invaluable. If not strong, it would be foolish!”

Beside Xu Luofei, Xie Yixiao said indifferently, seemingly not seeing Ye Qiu as significant.

After saying this, Xie Yixiao shifted the topic, ”What about my suggestion earlier?”

Xu Luofei’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, ”Is it really necessary? It’s not a big conflict.”

In his view, if it were other newcomers, they would be taught a lesson. But Lin Feng is different.

Offending Lin Feng brings no benefits, and might even cause some trouble.

”Young people are too arrogant. A lesson could be beneficial. Just say if you are willing or not.”

Under Xie Yixiao’s watchful gaze, Xu Luofei hesitated for a while and ultimately nodded helplessly, ”Alright, since I owe you a favor, after this matter, we’re even.”

”Hm.”

Xie Yixiao nodded, smiling, ”Later, when you enter the stage...”

”The next challenger, Yun Kai.”

Amidst a tsunami of cheers from the audience, Xie Yixiao’s voice paused slightly, following the spotlight, his gaze shifted to Yun Kai.

In the midst of fanatical shouting, Yun Kai slowly stepped onto the stage.

”Another super talent!” Xu Luofei sighed.

”Just lucky.”

He looked at Lin Feng disapprovingly, and being Yun Kai was Lin Feng’s first underling, he also looked down on Yun Kai, hence the disdain in his eyes.

”Yun Kai, who do you want to challenge?” the host enthusiastically asked.

Yun Kai stood still for a moment, surveying all around, seemingly searching for a target, then stopped at Xie Yixiao’s position and said, ”Xie Yixiao!”
