Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 383: Chapter 287: An Unfathomable Implication

”What incredible speed!”

Staring at Xie Yixiao, who seemed like a flash of lightning, as if possessing the ability of instant teleportation, Yun Kai’s eyes held a hint of seriousness.

As customary, he had yet to display the innate skills and soul skills of his Demon Spirit, and as his senior, Xie Yixiao would also refrain from using soul skills.

Only martial skills could be used.

Xie Yixiao was using the Ninth Grade body technique, Thunderclap.

This technique, like lightning darting through, with its rapid body technique, was something Yun Kai was very familiar with because Lin Feng could use it too.

Lin Feng had dual attributes of thunder and water, and among the three martial skills he displayed at this stage, one of them was Thunderclap.

It was an advanced form of the Third Grade Thunder Step, extremely difficult to cultivate, and among a thousand thunder series cultivators, it was hard to find one who could master this body technique.

Although Lin Feng could also perform Thunderclap, his speed was far inferior to Xie Yixiao. At this moment, Xie Yixiao’s figure was elusive, his speed nearly akin to instant teleportation.

Although being teased, Yun Kai remained calm and did not let anger cloud his judgment.

Everything was as expected.

As a professional player, Xie Yixiao’s strength and his soul skills were not a secret, and as one of the top ten All-Stars, how could he dare to act arrogantly in front of Lin Feng with just this level of strength?

The chase did not last long, in fact, it was brief, less than a minute, but with various screens continuously capturing the scene and even slow-motion replays, it appeared to the audience that Yun Kai was utterly powerless and embarrassed.

Yun Kai quickly realized that with his speed, it was impossible to easily approach Xie Yixiao. Even if he could get close, the thunder of the Thunder Series Mage would cause him significant damage.

The Golden Transformation granted him a body comparable to steel, but even steel could not withstand the attacks of thunder.

Therefore, he swiftly changed his attack method.

”Sword, come.”

Yun Kai beckoned with his right hand, and from beneath the stage, the long swords carried on Yue Mingming’s shoulders were attracted, transforming into sword shadows appearing behind Yun Kai, hovering in mid-air, causing a wave of exclamations.

Thirteen silver-white long swords appeared behind Yun Kai, all pointing towards Xie Yixiao’s location, this impressive Sword Control Technique stunning and amazing many.

Sword Control Technique, the second innate skill granted by Ancestral Demonization.

Any Demon Spirit, regardless of being First Grade or Ninth Grade, even if it ranked on the Earth Chart, could only grant the Refiner one innate ability.

This innate ability, accompanied by the increasing strength of the Demon Spirit Master, held the potential for infinite growth.

Soul skills were almost impossible to redevelop, while innate skills could be, and could even evolve.

Therefore, innate skills were far more important than soul skills.

Every soul skill a Demon Spirit Master chose to absorb was also centered around the innate skill.

Ye Xing could become the league’s recognized strongest warrior because he redeveloped his innate skill.

That is, Second Frenzy.

At this age, those who could achieve this were few and far between.

Some people could not develop their innate skill even in a lifetime, let alone, considering Ye Xing refined the forty-sixth ranked Frenzied Giant Beast on the Earth Chart, developing a divine level innate skill.

The higher the skill level, the greater the difficulty of development.

The Golden Lion King’s innate skill was Golden Transformation, but Yun Kai, due to the enhancement from Ancestral Demonization, possessed a second innate skill, namely the Sword Control Technique, which was enough to make all Demon Spirit Masters envious, especially given the strength and elegance of such a powerful Sword Control Technique.

This was simply the soul skill every man dreamed of, more enticing than Golden Transformation.

With thirteen long swords aimed at him, Xie Yixiao’s expression slightly restrained, no longer nonchalant.

The Golden Transformation is a divine level soul skill, and Sword Control Technique is also a diamond level soul skill, these belong to the Golden Lion King’s innate abilities, therefore, he could only use the Thunder Demon’s innate abilities.

Under the condition of suppressed strength, he had to be extremely careful, otherwise, he might really stumble.

”Go.”

This time, Yun Kai stood still without attacking, waving his right hand, as the long swords behind him transformed into sword shadows, flying towards Xie Yixiao with a piercing whistling sound.

Yun Kai did not release all thirteen long swords at once; eight long swords remained hovering behind him, while five long swords attacked Xie Yixiao’s vital spots from different angles and directions. Xie Yixiao also used Thunderclap body technique to dodge, but this time, facing the encirclement of long swords, he no longer found it easy.

In the midst of the piercing whistle, as each long sword joined in the action, nine sword shadows continuously darted back and forth across the stage in pursuit, and at this moment, the one who appeared embarrassed was Xie Yixiao.

Xie Yixiao’s speed was indeed fast, but the speed of the long swords controlled by Yun Kai was not slow either. The relentless pursuit of the nine swords, with no discernible attack patterns, weaving through at will, nearly injuring him multiple times, made him appear somewhat awkward.

At this moment, the roles of cat and mouse seemed reversed.

Yun Kai’s performance caused fans to cheer, and the top executives of various clubs, watching Yun Kai’s figure, gazed with undisguised admiration and desire.

Although he was still young, Yun Kai had already demonstrated All-Star level strength, and no one doubted this.

The Golden Transformation endows Yun Kai with a body like steel, making him invincible in close combat.

Earlier, when Ye Xing faced Ye Qiu, although he had a definite advantage in power, with bare hands, he could only evade in direct confrontation, not daring to face him head-on.

But if it were Yun Kai, he could definitely engage head-on, not be at a disadvantage, and perhaps even have the upper hand.

Such is the difference between talent skills and the power of the Golden Transformation.

Furthermore, the Sword Control Technique grants Yun Kai powerful long-range attack capabilities. Though he lacks wings, Yun Kai can perform sword flight. His close combat and long-range abilities are near perfect, without any weaknesses.

As long as he doesn’t fall, Yun Kai is bound to become a future child of glory.

Every team dreams of having such a member.

Being the most anticipated and beloved rookie by fans, if Yun Kai joins, the team’s popularity won’t be a concern at all.

”Lucky kid.”

Weaving swiftly, Xie Yixiao evades the encirclement of long swords, silently remarking to himself.

Personally experiencing the power of Sword Control Technique, even he feels some envy.

However, the Ancestral Demonization talent can’t be envied. Currently, there are only two people nationwide with this talent, one of whom is still a child. Although the capability of the Earth Chart Demon Spirit is inherited, the level doesn’t compare to that of the Golden Lion King, making the child’s talent less impressive than Yun Kai’s.

When ten long swords pursued him, Xie Yixiao started to struggle, originally intending not to perform Demon Transformation, simply to eliminate Yun Kai, but now he had to give up.

No longer putting on airs, he directly entered the Demon Transformation state.

Xie Yixiao refined a Ninth Grade Thunder Demon, and with Demon Possession, purplish lines appeared on his body, his figure became much taller and slender, with slightly pointed ears, deep purple eyes, more defined features, coupled with long hair, Xie Yixiao now resembled an elf from anime, appearing very handsome, also exuding a sense of elegance and nobility.

Besides strength, his striking appearance is also one of the reasons Xie Yixiao is selected for the All-Star.

Among the top ten All-Stars, Xie Yixiao’s popularity may not rank top three, but the number of female fans puts him in first place.

At this moment, Xie Yixiao is like a graceful elf, while Yun Kai resembles a commanding half-beastman. Their visuals repeatedly appear on the screen, eliciting waves of screams.

After the demon transformation, Xie Yixiao’s speed increased again, no longer as embarrassed as before, but still not relaxed. He pointed his right hand towards Yun Kai, and in the next second, a purple lightning suddenly descended from the sky, appearing above Yun Kai, soundless and without any warning, yet Yun Kai, who was prepared, dodged in time.

However, the lightning did not disappear, it followed Yun Kai like a shadow, continuously dodging but unable to shake it off, much like Xie Yixiao earlier. Due to being distracted, Yun Kai struggled to control the long swords, slowing down, and attacks becoming disorderly, allowing Xie Yixiao to breathe easier and speeding up his attacks.

On the screen, the two of them began rapidly attacking, one performing Sword Control, the other directing lightning, neither using other soul skills, seemingly intent on settling the victory this way.

Initially, the two went back and forth, evenly matched, but soon Yun Kai started to become passive. Although he dodged in time and was not hit by lightning, as the lightning continued to fall, the entire stage seemed like a magnetic field formed by lightning. Within this magnetic field, the surrounding gravity seemed to increase, slowing Yun Kai’s evasive maneuvers, until finally a lightning bolt struck his head.

If not for the timely possession of spiritual power, Yun Kai would have hit the ground.

The sturdy physique couldn’t withstand the lightning attack, and the Golden Transformation talent, which is supposed to be impregnable, had no resistance to lightning, and may even exacerbate the power of lightning attacks, which is why Yun Kai didn’t use the Golden Transformation.

Yun Kai challenged the person he shouldn’t have, thus the conclusion was inevitable.

After being hit by this lightning strike, the previously calm magnetic field seemed to be activated, as purplish arcs of electricity suddenly appeared out of nowhere, filling the stage, and chasing Yun Kai, rampaging, constantly hitting his body.

Yun Kai’s whole body trembled, let out a roar, accompanied by a surge of intense golden light, dark golden veins like meridians coursed all over his body, rapidly circulating, giving him greater strength, but to no avail.

At this moment, the magnetic field of lightning felt like a quagmire, the more Yun Kai struggled, the deeper he sank, the lightning continuously struck him, causing sharp pains. Even the strong physique granted by Ancestral Demonization couldn’t hold up, and soon Yun Kai’s skin showed signs of charring, his expression pained, yet he gritted his teeth, uttering no sound.

Yun Kai continued to struggle, not giving up hope, but evidently to no avail. Just when everyone thought the battle was over, Xie Yixiao did not stop his attack.

He simply watched Yun Kai struggle, his body becoming increasingly charred, indifferent.

Xie Yixiao’s behavior was evidently very unusual, everyone could see Yun Kai already lost the ability to fight, was already injured, and significantly hurt, the challenge had already ended.

”What’s with Xie Yixiao, Yun Kai clearly already lost the ability to fight, still attacking, way too cruel, right?”

”Really a despicable person, I’ve disliked him for a long time.”

”Don’t go that far, Xie Yixiao is quite likable, surely there was prior friction between the two.”

”Indeed, not the behavior of a senior, just because Yun Kai didn’t flatter him before, does it warrant such revenge?”

”Although I’m a fan of Xie Yixiao, this is crossing the line.”

”Yun Kai is still struggling, he didn’t surrender either. Besides, disrespecting a senior deserves some lessons.”

The audience murmured in discussion, even as fans, they felt Xie Yixiao went too far, as a senior, his behavior was somewhat petty.

Even as teammates, some seemed surprised, only Ye Xing seemed to understand something.

Xie Yixiao did it intentionally.

Xie Yixiao is not a rookie newly entering the league, if it were during common battles or training between teams, unrelated to the occasion, it would go unnoticed. But in such a public setting, facing a rookie, such actions would surely cause controversy, offering him no benefit, yet he persisted, his intention appeared to infuriate Lin Feng!

The murmurs did not affect the battle, until Yun Kai kneeled on one knee, and the host announced the battle’s end, did Xie Yixiao cease his attack, turning to gaze at Lin Feng’s direction, his eyes holding an unexplainable meaning.
