Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 481: Chapter 349: Overflowing Confidence (Part 2)

Yu Qiao chuckled, his single-lidded eyes revealing a hint of slyness and cunning:

”A Divine Level Soul Skill is about to be mine. When one encounters good fortune, they feel a burst of energy. Can my spirits not be uplifted? In the future, I’ll be a top-tier Assassin!”

”Don’t get too carried away. The Six-winged Illusion Python is very rare, and if you fail to absorb it, you’ll regret it deeply.”

Seeing Yu Qiao’s confidence, Bu Zheng still had some doubts, but he didn’t overthink it.

However, seeing Yu Qiao somewhat smug, he still reminded him.

”It’s not just the Six-winged Illusion Python; the Shadow Puppet is also very precious. You currently have only four Soul Skills, and waiting until the seventh Soul Skill to absorb it won’t be too late.”

The innate skill of the Shadow Puppet, ’Shadow Binding,’ is a rarity even among Diamond Soul Skills.

And the innate skill of the Six-winged Illusion Python, Illusion, is a Divine Level Soul Skill, which even he doesn’t possess.

To obtain such a Soul Skill is already extremely difficult, and those fortunate enough to successfully absorb it are even rarer.

Yu Qiao chuckled, glancing faintly at the shadow behind Bu Zheng.

If he didn’t need to keep a secret, he would have slipped into Bu Zheng’s shadow to show off.

But he could only fantasize about it, indulging in a wild thought.

Absorbing a Diamond Soul Skill as the fifth Soul Skill is rare, but not impossible for some Demon Fiends to achieve.

Ye Qiu absorbed a Diamond Soul Skill with just his fourth Soul Skill, and aside from the nationwide sensation it caused, no one doubted it because the Thorny Demon Dragon is a Divine Level Demon Spirit, and absorbing a Diamond Soul Skill with the fourth Soul Skill isn’t impossible.

But if all eight of them absorbed a Diamond Soul Skill within two days and all succeeded, even a fool would know something was amiss.

Although each of them is talented, a hundred percent success rate is impossible.

It would easily arouse suspicion.

Leading to people guessing Lin Feng’s secret.

One must know, compared to them, Lin Feng’s Soul Skill combination and level are more insane and incredible.

So, the Soul Skills they absorb next should not be made known to others.

Even if known, they can’t divulge when they absorbed it or which Soul Skill it is.

Although they are extraordinarily gifted, their strength is not yet formidable, so they need to remain low-key for now.

When the league members all become Kings, that will be their true moment of strength exhibition.

”What’s there to get carried away about?”

Yu Qiao curled his lips:

”Didn’t Lin Feng absorb Illusion for his fifth Soul Skill too? Is my talent lacking compared to his? Or do you think my Ninth Grade Ghostly Serpent loses out to a First Grade Dragon Fish?”

Yu Qiao’s tone carried a slight disdain, and as he spoke, he patted Lin Feng’s shoulder with his right hand: ”Right, little brother!”

Bu Zheng just glanced at Yu Qiao, unwilling to say more.

In his view, Yu Qiao wasn’t just getting carried away, he was outright delusional.

What illusion made him think he could compare with Lin Feng?

”Little brother?”

Lin Feng looked at the hand on his shoulder, also quite surprised.

Ever since absorbing the Diamond Soul Skill, he noticed Yu Qiao indeed got carried away, becoming more daring.

Every day, he was frantically testing the limits of courting disaster.

”I’m two years older than you, calling you ’little brother’ isn’t wrong, is it?”

Yu Qiao said nonchalantly, but when he noticed Lin Feng’s gaze gradually turning dangerous, the muscles on his shoulder starting to tense slightly, seemingly ready to act?

The next moment, Yu Qiao stepped back and his figure disappeared.

He slipped away directly.

”Haha.”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh, even Yun Kai smiled a bit.

This joker....

Amid the laughter, everyone quickly walked out of the hotel.

At the hotel entrance, Bai Ji and Yun Lin, along with people from Red Cloud University, had been waiting for a while.

”There they are.”

Seeing Lin Feng’s group, everyone greeted them.

”Why so slow, what were you all doing in the room?”

Yun Lin asked, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

Yun Lin was originally very beautiful, with a perfect figure.

Just after enrolling, during the throne challenge contest, many boys fought for a seat for her sake.

Over two years, she became even more charming, and this coquettish reproach attracted the attention of many young men nearby, with several eyes lighting up slightly.

Yun Lin ignored others’ stares, only focusing on Lin Feng and Yun Kai.

As a member of the Jianghu Martial Arts Club, and a classmate, compared to others, she was more familiar with Lin Feng, Yun Kai, Little Sister Dong, and Yue Mingming.

Logically, the relationship should be closer.

But over the past two days, Yun Lin noticed Lin Feng’s ten people seemed to form a circle, gathering together every day, hiding in the room doing who knows what!

They did gather over the past two days.

Although this small team didn’t exclude them, Yun Lin felt a sense of being out of place.

This feeling made her and Bai Ji somewhat uncomfortable, leading to some dissatisfaction with Lin Feng’s group.

However, it was mostly helplessness.

Even though they were geniuses among their peers, they couldn’t be compared to Lin Feng and others.

This sense of alienation might be due to the gap in strength and achievements.

Thinking of this, Yun Lin’s gaze swept over to He Jun.

He Jun was even weaker, so how did he have the qualification to blend into the small team?

”Nothing much, just watching the news,” Yue Mingming replied.

He naturally knew why Yun Lin was unhappy, but he was also helpless.

They didn’t exclude Yun Lin and the others.

But without a Contract, without shared secrets, some things couldn’t be said in their presence, naturally creating a feeling of distance.

”Is that so?”

Yun Lin doubted Yue Mingming, but didn’t pursue it further.

Several buses were parked at the hotel entrance.

The group got on the buses, and once they were filled, the buses headed in the direction of the Space Gate to the Land of Chaos.

The meeting place this time was outside that Space Gate.

Half an hour later, the buses stopped, and everyone disembarked.

Compared to five days ago, the area before them had changed dramatically, transformed into a heavily guarded military base, with armed soldiers everywhere.

The military base was surrounded by a three-meter-high white wall.

Around the wall, there were various powerful weapons.

These weapons were uniformly aimed upwards at the Space Gate.

”Even a King couldn’t withstand this,”

Ye Qiu exclaimed.

If this firepower unleashed a collective barrage, even an ordinary King couldn’t resist it.

However, it posed limited threat to an Emperor.

At the explosion’s epicenter, although an Emperor couldn’t withstand it, escaping wouldn’t be difficult.

But what truly caught everyone’s attention was the floating Space Gate in the air.

In just a few days, the Space Gate had grown larger.

Preliminary estimates suggested it was at least 25 meters long and 18 meters wide.

The space around the gate was slightly distorted and continued to expand visibly.

Following the crowd, they arrived at a large gate, with four soldiers guarding either side.

Lin Feng’s group’s fame was well-known, and the soldiers surely recognized them, but they still meticulously verified each person’s fingerprint and retinal scan.

After verifying identities one by one, the group smoothly entered the military base, with no one talking throughout, imparting a slightly heavy atmosphere.

The inside of the military base wasn’t as heavily armed as outside, even appearing quite empty, with only rows of stone and soil-constructed chairs in sight.

At this moment, the chairs were already filled with three to four hundred individuals, with young men and women in their twenties making up eighty to ninety percent, along with some middle-aged men and women.

As soon as Lin Feng’s group entered, they attracted everyone’s attention.
