Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 406: Chapter 302: Cunning Tricks 2

At this moment, Ye Qiu already knew the general reason.

Within Lin Feng, there is an evil power, a force and aura that make demon spirits fear and suppress their strength. This is why Lin Feng can increase the success rate of absorbing soul skills.

But as for why this power and aura exist within Lin Feng, and why demon spirits are afraid, he was not certain.

Yu Qiao looked depressed, itching for an answer, desperately wanting to know the truth.

He asked multiple times, but Ye Qiu deliberately kept silent, leaving him with no choice but to give up.

Although the reason was unknown, it did not affect everyone’s excitement and thrill in the slightest.

If not for knowing Lin Feng needed rest, Yang Ningbing would want to devour a demon spirit and absorb a soul skill right then.

”Ye Qiu’s success doesn’t mean you all will succeed.”

Seeing everyone excited, seemingly eager to try, Lin Feng directly poured cold water on them.

Upon hearing these words, everyone’s fervor slightly calmed down.

Lin Feng continued, ”You know Ye Qiu’s talent. The Thorny Demon Dragon he refined is of high level, known as a divine level demon spirit. Night Dragon is also a dragon race spirit, giving him an advantage in refinement, and the attributes match. Therefore, he can absorb a diamond soul skill as his fourth soul skill.

My assistance can increase success rates, but it’s not one hundred percent. Failure is still possible. Even for me, I only have one diamond soul skill right now, so don’t fantasize about refining diamond soul skills across the board.

You need at least a 20-30% confidence before I’ll step in.

Even if someone has money and doesn’t care about failure, due to the repercussions, I can’t possibly let you try indefinitely.”

Lin Feng’s words brought everyone back to reality from their beautiful fantasy.

Indeed, Ye Qiu’s talent is extraordinary, a demon fiend prodigy.

Just because Ye Qiu succeeded doesn’t mean they will.

Although it’s not uncommon in the Alliance for people to refine demon spirits from the Earth Chart, none are of Ye Qiu’s level.

The top twenty ranked demon spirits on the Earth Chart are also called divine level spirits, far stronger than other Earth Chart spirits.

Zhan Tianyu refined the Six-armed Celestial Demon, ranked 32nd on the Earth Chart, close to the Thorny Demon Dragon, but he did not refine it on Awakening Day. Instead, it was refined with the support of his elders, using a demon spirit given by the family.

Before this, he already spent a lot of resources and made many preparations to refine the Six-armed Celestial Demon.

The difficulty compared to Ye Qiu is much easier.

Ye Qiu’s talent was considered the nation’s top among the youth, setting the highest record for demon spirit refinement on Awakening Day.

This is why two years ago, when Ye Qiu just refined a demon spirit, he could cause a city-wide sensation, attracting the Glory Alliance’s attention.

Earlier, Zhan Tianyu indeed considered absorbing all diamond soul skills starting from the fifth soul skill.

Among the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, the Zhan family is not the strongest, but it’s the richest. As the super genius who refined the Six-armed Celestial Demon, Zhan Tianyu lacks no soul skills.

As long as diamond soul skills can be absorbed, failing two or three times doesn’t matter.

The family can completely support it.

As long as it succeeds, proves talent, the family will continue support because it’s worth it.

If diamond soul skills can all be absorbed, being invincible at the same tier is just around the corner.

Grabbing a key would bring back all expenses.

But now, upon calming down, he realized Lin Feng has side effects.

According to Lin Feng, it would overstrain life.

If it could be used without scruple, Lin Feng would have no need to hide this secret.

He wouldn’t have to worry about alien race bounties either.

If this news were made public, Lin Feng would become a national treasure, more important than any emperor.

Emperors would protect him.

Safety would not be a concern at all.

They all knew this, knew long ago, except some were overwhelmed by beautiful fantasies now, while others intentionally ignored the side effects.

Or comforted themselves.

Overstretching life can be compensated by other means.

People are inherently selfish.

Compared to Lin Feng’s uncertain harmful side effects, they care more about soul skills, about their own strength.

”How many chances does one person get?” Zhan Tianyu asked.

Lin Feng said, ”Each person, each stage, gets two chances. If both fail, you’ll have to absorb the soul skill yourself.”

Twice!

This number isn’t many, you must have some confidence to use it.

”If you succeed in absorbing it yourself, no help needed from you, or if only one chance is used, can it be used next time? Or, can it be traded?”

Yu Qiao continued to ask.

This was the answer others wanted to know too.

Hearing this, Yun Kai’s brow furrowed, his gaze at Yu Qiao somewhat sharp. Perceiving Yun Kai’s look, Yu Qiao’s face slightly changed, always reckless and arrogant, or perhaps guilty, he dared not meet Yun Kai’s eyes.

”Haha”

Huang Tianze had not spoken all along, but now he chuckled, a hint of mockery in his laughter.

”Alright, pretend I didn’t ask.”

Yu Qiao’s face slightly changed, a bit embarrassed, weakly said.

He regretted asking that.

”It’s fine.”

Lin Feng looked at Yun Kai, his eyes carrying a trace of warmth.

Just now, when seeing Ye Qiu successfully absorb a soul skill, everyone was caught in excitement, except for Yun Kai, who remained calm, indifferent from start to finish.

Yun Kai wasn’t interested in the success rate of absorbing soul skills.

Compared to soul skills, he cared more about Lin Feng’s safety.

In his heart, Yun Kai had vowed to absorb soul skills himself, without seeking Lin Feng’s help.

Because of this, he had an issue with Yu Qiao.

Knowing the cost for Lin Feng was to overstrain life, yet asking such a question, without considering if Lin Feng could endure, showing petty cleverness.

”Can’t be traded, but chances can be accumulated. Ye Qiu only used one chance for the fourth soul skill, so for the fifth, he can have three chances. I know the importance of soul skills for a Demon Spirit Master, no need to feel guilty or embarrassed. If it were me, I would ask that too.”

Seeing Yu Qiao somewhat embarrassed, even incurring Yun Kai’s hostility and Huang Tianze’s ridicule, Lin Feng thought it wasn’t good.

Geniuses are proud. If left unchecked, it might be fine now, but in the future, alliance members’ relationships would surely develop cracks.

Lin Feng looked at everyone, calmly said:

”We fought alongside against alien races on the Divine Martial Continent, experiencing life and death together, forming bonds. For me, you seven are recognized teammates, so I made a contract with you.

Though this contract isn’t binding, it’s closer and more united compared to other alliances, and we’re classmates, so it’s better to clear some things up.”

The atmosphere turned slightly sober, the earlier excitement and thrill disappeared.

Right then, Yu Qiao wished he could slap himself, blaming his loose lips.

”Helping you absorb soul skills indeed has significant aftereffects, before alien races massacred cities, I never planned to help you absorb soul skills, even for Yun Kai and Little Sister Dong, I didn’t reveal this secret or help them absorb a single soul skill.

I’m not a saint, not so great, I also have other motives.”

No one spoke, everyone quietly looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng chuckled:

”The purpose is simple, an individual’s power is too insignificant, even if I can kill Hai Wei, kill talents like Tian Qing among alien races, so what?

Being invincible at the same tier is still weak. Facing city massacres, despite anger, it’s equally helpless.

Therefore, I want to form an unprecedented alliance.

Members of this alliance are all super geniuses, absorbing high level soul skills, so one day when this alliance matures, perhaps it won’t change the world, but at least it can alter some situations.”
