Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 609: Chapter 440: Refusing to Show Respect

Fourteen Divine Level Soul Skills?!

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Wang Jian’s eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

He wasn’t shocked by the demand itself.

Although this demand is indeed exaggerated.

Nowadays, the price of Demon Spirits has skyrocketed. Conservatively estimated, a Demon Spirit with a Divine Level Soul Skill would cost no less than 20 billion. Fourteen of them would be at least 300-400 billion, or even 500-600 billion.

This is a terrifying number.

But if it can be bought with money, then it’s no big deal. For a country, problems that money can solve are not a problem at all.

It’s just that Divine Level Soul Skills are extremely rare now. Even the national treasury doesn’t have so many, nor can they be collected in a short time.

The demand is exaggerated, but compared to the value that rescuing that person can bring, it is nothing.

Everything is worth it.

If you can’t find it domestically, you can have countries around the world pool resources.

Wang Jian was truly shocked by Lin Feng’s courage to agree to it.

And the others didn’t show any signs of worry?

Are today’s young people already this fierce?

Divine Level Soul Skills aren’t omnipotent; strength and combat experience are very important.

Even though a good Soul Skill can transform a Demon Spirit Master, there is a risk of failure in absorbing Soul Skills. Sometimes the success rate is shockingly low.

Even with Lin Feng and the others’ talent, the success rate wouldn’t exceed a quarter.

That means at most only three people can succeed! No more than four.

This is already the highest success rate, with a high probability of only two people succeeding, or even just one.

Which means that Divine Level Soul Skills might not actually change much.

Even if he didn’t say anything just now, or even didn’t say who they were rescuing, Lin Feng couldn’t possibly not know the difficulty of this mission, because it was at a Ninth Grade Space Gate.

This mission couldn’t even be accomplished by a nation, otherwise, Lin Feng’s team wouldn’t have been asked to try.

For someone so important to the whole world, the Alien Race couldn’t possibly not take it seriously, and the difficulty of rescuing him could be imagined.

Even so, Lin Feng dared to agree!

”Are you confident? This is no joke, that person is extremely important!”

Wang Jian’s expression and tone became unusually serious, his gaze fixed on Lin Feng’s eyes as if trying to see something through them.

Lin Feng’s expression was very calm, without any tension, merely asking lightly, ”I don’t even know what the specific task is now, so how can we talk about confidence?”

”Exactly, nothing about the task has been mentioned.” Yu Qiao to the side also voiced his displeasure.

Although dissatisfied, Yu Qiao’s eyes were excited.

What fortune to have what we lack!

Wang Jian is indeed the God of Wealth!

Yu Qiao never expected that just half a month later, he would be welcoming a second Divine Level Soul Skill. At this moment, he didn’t care what the task was, as long as he could get the Soul Skill first.

And since Lin Feng dared to agree, there was some confidence.

Even if the mission failed, the Soul Skill’s been absorbed, it’s not like it can be spat back out, right?

Given their achievements and future prospects, even a Divine Level Soul Skill wouldn’t be a loss for the nation.

Wang Jian ignored Yu Qiao. Yu Qiao was just an annoying guy whose opinion didn’t matter much in Lin Feng’s team. What mattered was Lin Feng.

He just seriously stared at Lin Feng: ”You don’t know what the task is, and you still dare to agree?”

Lin Feng said: ”With the Soul Skills in hand, give us half a year, and we can try.”

”This isn’t something to try lightly, are you sure you’re confident?”

Wang Jian continued to press, but this time, a hint of impatience appeared on Lin Feng’s face.

”You won’t say the specific task, not even which Ninth Grade Space Gate, or who we’re trying to rescue, yet you keep asking if we’re confident? Since it’s a rescue mission, there’s naturally a possibility of being discovered by the enemy, or even definitely being discovered! If we’re discovered, those we’ve come to rescue might be at risk of being executed, yet you keep emphasizing our confidence?

Without confidence, the price we pay is our lives! Do you think we’re here for a stroll?

Or do you think our lives are less important than a Divine Level Soul Skill?

If others are confident, why not go straight to them? Why ask us?”

At this point, Lin Feng was truly impatient!

In his view, no one’s life was more important than his own.

No matter how significant the person was, or how important they were to the whole world, they weren’t more important than himself!

He wouldn’t sacrifice himself or his teammates for a stranger.

Wang Jian’s expression subtly changed at that moment. He hadn’t expected the usually easygoing Lin Feng to suddenly become so firm, even to the point of not showing any face.

If it were someone else, he would surely fall out, but Lin Feng was not just anyone, so he had to endure.

Although Lin Feng’s strength wasn’t as great as his, his achievements were far more brilliant, and he also possessed the Guardian Medal, making him untouchable.

He knew his questions were somewhat difficult for Lin Feng, but he just wanted to confirm Lin Feng’s confidence and had no other way to ask.

He couldn’t disclose the specific mission details.

As Lin Feng said, if the mission failed, indeed, the price might be lives, and not just one.

Annihilation was also possible!

Wang Jian then realized in hindsight that his previous questioning, though not overtly, somewhat suggested that Lin Feng and the others were less important than that person.

Lin Feng apparently sensed that, thus the impatience.

Yun Kai and the others looked at Lin Feng with some concern in their eyes, but they remained silent, giving Lin Feng full trust.

”Rest assured, unless it’s absolutely necessary, the other side won’t kill that person, because he is also important to the Alien Race.”

Wang Jian softened his tone a bit, explaining, ”For now, the specific task can’t be disclosed, but I will report it to the higher-ups.”

”Okay.”

Lin Feng nodded, not saying anything more.

Wang Jian did likewise and soon left the room.

After Wang Jian left, Yu Qiao joyfully exclaimed, ”Another Divine Level Soul Skill secured!”

As for the task, Yu Qiao simply ignored it, not caring in the slightest. It’s not like they were starting immediately; in half a year, they’d be entering the Ninth Grade, and it wouldn’t be a question of who to kill!

Even if they couldn’t win a fight, there’d be no one who could stop them from escaping.

Compared to the carefree Yu Qiao, the others felt somewhat concerned.

”Who knows what kind of person we’re supposed to rescue, with all this mystery?”

Yun Tianqi asked with some curiosity.

”Probably some researcher. If he’s important to the Alien Race too, the research he’s doing might be related to power?” Ye Qiu speculated.

”Who cares who it is; let’s get the Soul Skill first, and if we fail, no big deal. It’s said that they won’t execute unless absolutely necessary, so when the time comes, we’ll just kill a few more aliens to make up for it,” Yu Qiao said nonchalantly.

He’d already decided on the Divine Level Soul Skill he wanted; once he absorbed it, he’d only have one question: Who else?

”True, thinking so much about it now is meaningless. Even if we’re confident, the higher-ups might not even agree,” Ye Xing concurred.

As the first Berserker of Glory, he still didn’t have a Divine Level Soul Skill.

In the Avengers Alliance, there were seven with Divine Level Soul Skills.

Lin Feng had two types.

If innate skills were counted, Zhan Tianyu and Ye Qiu also had two types.

Yun Kai’s Sword Control Technique could also be considered a Divine Level Soul Skill, making it two types.

He Jun’s Demon Spirit, although unknown, had a sacrificial ability that undoubtedly qualified as a Divine Level Soul Skill.

Even Yu Qiao had one Divine Level Soul Skill, but he did not!

Everyday seeing Yu Qiao show off, twice a day at least, he’d become accustomed to it but was still very disgruntled. Therefore, he too was greatly desirous of a Divine Level Soul Skill.

Fourteen Divine Level Soul Skills could elevate the team’s strength a notch, giving more confidence in participating in the King Becoming plan.

.....

After Wang Jian left, the following days were uneventful.

Regarding obtaining the Guardian Medal, the group neither announced nor showed off, keeping a low profile.

Two days later, mission commissions also ceased, with daily sign-ups starting to show single digits.

Lin Feng’s team enjoyed the rare relaxation, while planning mission commissions. Deciding which Space Gate to start with and which members to bring each time.

In these calm days, the departure date slowly approached.
