Chapter 177: Chapter 152: Entering the Demon Blood Pool

Yun Kai and Dong Yunan quickly found Lin Feng’s location and stood silently behind him.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere felt a bit silent.

Lin Feng didn’t comfort anyone; there was no need.

In the world of martial artists, survival of the fittest reigns. It’s brutal; sometimes, it can drive a normal person insane. If one can’t adapt, it’s better to go home early and live as an ordinary person in peace.

There’s nothing wrong with being ordinary.

Ninety percent of this world consists of ordinary people. Although they can’t fly or escape, it’s at least better than dying at the hands of a demon beast or alien race.

He had seen too much death and many painful farewells, but those pains remained unforgettable for Lin Feng.

Dong Yunan resembled his sister, Ma Lele, a bit.

He didn’t wish to see Dong Yunan’s corpse one day because he couldn’t protect her for life.

“If you can’t hold on, then go home,”

After a while, Lin Feng said faintly, “You have a good father; if you can’t hold on, he will take you home.”

“I’m not going home!”

Dong Yunan said without hesitation.

Though she was naive, she wasn’t a fool!

When Lin Feng mentioned the demon blood pool containing alien race blood, initially, she was shocked out of fear, but afterward, she quickly reacted.

Her father couldn’t possibly not know!

It was all too clear then.

8.3 billion!

Dong Yunan knew that the Sea Demoness on her cost 8.3 billion; with the time and connections spent, its value exceeded ten billion.

Her father used up half his life’s savings, his entire fortune, just to give her a choice!

And to ease her pressure, he said nothing.

How could she give up!

How would she have the right to give up?

One by one, figures gradually stood around the demon blood pool.

Onlookers, both teachers and students, were now waiting to hear the earth-shattering screams of the most gifted freshmen.

“Okay, there are a total of 96 people, four have given up this opportunity. They will go to the resources department to exchange resources afterward. The last four eliminated in the throne challenge will replace them.”

Bu Zheng slightly patted the crimson spiritual power wings, and as soon as he finished speaking, three boys and a girl walked out with delighted faces.

In the morning, they had received the mentor’s notice in advance, never expecting such a pleasant surprise, and everyone was excited.

“This opportunity is precious; hold on as long as you can. Don’t fear death; there are five healing mentors present. As long as you have one breath, you won’t die.”

“Alright, it’s past nine, the hundred people are complete, begin to prepare.”

Accompanied by roaring and snarling, under the sunlight, dazzling colorful lights bloomed, and the scene of nearly a hundred people undergoing demon transformations was awe-inspiring.

Why say nearly a hundred people?

Because Lin Feng and Bai Ji had no change, making them stand out among the demon-transformed figures.

“Hahaha, this is a bit awkward!”

“Lin Feng is in trouble this time. He hasn’t refined a demon spirit yet and might not last ten minutes.”

“Look at Bai Ji’s sickly appearance, no more than five minutes, can’t be more.”

“Five minutes? Have you tried?”

“Damn, you pervert.”

“Not necessarily, did you forget Bai Ji’s bugs? Those bugs might have some other different uses.”

The senior students watching commented.

Some of them had experienced it before.

The demon blood pool has the body tempering effect of cleansing the bones, but the energy is too dominant. If one is not a demon spirit master and can’t undergo demon transformation, they can’t last long simply relying on a martial artist’s body.

Last year, there were also two martial artists who were not demon spirit masters. One lasted five minutes, the other only three.

Therefore, guessing Lin Feng could last ten minutes was an overestimation due to Lin Feng’s huge reputation as the rookie king this year!

Even among demon spirit masters, fewer than fifty could last ten minutes.

Less than half the number.

“Hold on for a while; this opportunity is hard to come by!”

Lin Feng said to Yun Kai and the other two.

That is also why he wanted to attend university.

Certain things are simply unavailable outside, not even for money.

At this moment, Yun Kai and Dong Yunan were already in demon possession, one in the human version of the Golden Lion King, and the other in the human version of the Sea Demoness.

Lin Feng had seen the appearances of both during demon transformation and wasn’t surprised, but it was his first time seeing Lin Xiaofei demon transform.

“Eighth Grade Fire Ape King!” Lin Feng curiously said.

After demon transformation, Lin Xiaofei looked like he had transformed from a playful student into a muscular social man. His body noticeably grew larger, reaching over 1.8 meters in height, with broad and round shoulders. His originally agile eyes were slightly sunken, dark red pupils exuding a hint of frenzy, his face had some dark brown hair with two strands of white hair on either side of his cheeks, his forehead became larger, mouth protruded, and two exposed canine teeth appeared like fangs, looking fierce, his arms clearly elongated, robust like his hands, covered with the same dark brown hair.

“How about it, handsome, right? I rarely dare demon transform easily, afraid of being killed by my own handsomeness!”

Seeing Lin Feng sizing him up, Lin Xiaofei, now slightly taller than Lin Feng, said proudly.

The Fire Ape King belongs to the combat series demon spirits, after demon transformation, he can possess the Fire Ape King’s power and speed, with excellent attack and defense. The innate skill ’Ape Power’ can triple his strength in a short time, making him quite valuable among Eighth Grade demon spirits.

“Yun Kai, Lin Xiaofei is asking you, is he handsome?” Lin Feng said to Yun Kai.

“Um….”

Seeing Yun Kai observing him seriously, Lin Xiaofei got deflated at once.

He wouldn’t dare compete with Yun Kai.

Ignoring combat strength and level, just looking at his appearance, that body seemingly forged from gold, and the mane-like golden hair of a lion, especially those dark golden vein-like lines resembling meridians covering the entire body, flowing slightly like water, exceedingly dazzling.

After looking long enough, even he was drooling with envy and jealousy.

These are traits of Ancestral Demonization!

Only Yun Kai possesses them.

After demon transformation, Lin Xiaofei became a muscular man, but in front of Yun Kai, he was clearly a size smaller, still just a child.

“Alright, all go down.”

As Bu Zheng’s words just fell, splashes and thuds…..

One by one, figures leapt into the Demon Blood Pool like dumplings, creating a splashing sound.

“I’m going to take a bath first.”

With a leap, Lin Feng jumped into the Demon Blood Pool, followed closely by Lin Xiaofei and Yun Kai.

“I’m not going home!”

Watching the backs of the three, Dong Yunan seemed to be hypnotizing herself, though her gaze struggled, her steps moved closer to the Demon Blood Pool.

Standing at the edge of the pool, Dong Yunan’s eyes were filled with terror, but eventually, she closed her eyes and leapt down.

“Ah!”

Upon jumping into the Demon Blood Pool, Dong Yunan let out a scream.

At this moment, it wasn’t painful yet, just too tense, but within a minute, her already pale face turned deathly white, with muscles tensed and uncontrollably trembling.

So painful!

Really so painful!

The whole body felt like it was about to boil, and after a while, it looked particularly bloody and tragic.

Although she was a Demon Spirit Master, after demon transformation, the body’s quality would comprehensively improve.

But Demon Spirit Masters also have classifications.

Dong Yunan had refined a healing series Demon Spirit, so after demon transformation, her physical enhancement was limited, and she couldn’t hold on for long.

“I can’t back down, a hundred billion, a hundred billion.”

Dong Yunan gritted her teeth tightly, her body trembling violently, continuously telling herself in her mind.

Fortunately, while the pool water corroded and damaged the flesh, the Essence of Blood within quickly repaired the flesh, and during the repair process, the Essence of Blood seeped bit by bit into her flesh and bones, gradually enhancing the body.

“Hmm….”

On the other side, just after leaping into the blood pool, Lin Feng couldn’t help but groan.

Though his willpower was firm, his sensation to pain was no different from normal people.

Compared to others, without refining a Demon Spirit, his body was more fragile. As soon as he entered the pool, his skin instantly melted, turning into a bloody person.

In the Demon Blood Pool, the smell of blood was pervasive, with a foul stench.

“Essence of Blood!”

Lin Feng ignored the stench and quietly felt the energy contained in the blood pool.

The Essence of Blood was somewhat similar to the power of the Qi and Blood Pill, but purer, more majestic, and domineering. This was the first time he saw it, and even more so, the first time he enjoyed such treatment.

In his previous life, because he hadn’t refined a Demon Spirit, achieving the level of a Grandmaster relied on desperation and madness. Opportunities like this were hard to come by.

Even if encountered, he did not qualify to enjoy it.

The flesh was continuously corroded and continuously repaired, amidst the heart-wrenching torment, within two minutes, some clawed their way out of the terrifying blood pool.

“Nightmare!”

Just as Lin Feng prepared to concentrate on refining the Essence of Blood, his expression suddenly changed.

The Nightmare awoke.

The Nightmare, originally in a dormant state within the Soul Sea, had awakened.

Just awakened, it became exceptionally frenzied.

Waves of evil and berserk mental fluctuations continuously impacted Lin Feng’s mind.

From this madness, Lin Feng felt an anger, a desire to destroy everything!

“What’s wrong with this Evil Spirit?”

A strong suction force abruptly spread from within Lin Feng, causing the pool water to ripple slightly, and a large amount of Essence of Blood rapidly fused into Lin Feng’s body at several times the speed, yet those Essence of Blood, before they could enhance the body, were gathered towards the Soul Sea as if being plundered, ultimately merging into the Nightmare.

“This Nightmare is sucking blood!”

That the Nightmare would suck blood was not surprising to Lin Feng, as he had previously discovered this phenomenon in Jiang City, in ’Senhai’.

Due to the Sealing Evil Seal, the Nightmare had assimilated with his blood, causing a kind of mutation.

This mutation led to the Nightmare feeding on blood to strengthen itself!

However, this feeding had never been so urgent.

Before, it seemed like the Nightmare needed him to place the food in front of it before it would eat, but now, it didn’t need his intervention, it ate on its own!

One was feeding, the other was grabbing food.

Desire!

In this frenzy of anger, Lin Feng also felt a desire.

Anger and desire!

Such a contradictory feeling!

And this feeling was not new.

Just last night, when the three Abnormal People appeared in the cafeteria, the Nightmare also awoke once, becoming particularly frenzied. That feeling was identical to the current one.

It’s just that today’s outbreak was more severe!

“Abnormal People, Alien Race?”

Lin Feng was puzzled!

Isn’t the Nightmare a Demon Beast?

How is it related to Abnormal People and Alien Race?

What is it angry and yearning for?

In the deadly pain, Lin Feng thought a lot.

If he could figure it out, he could find out the race of the Nightmare, whether it could absorb soul skills.

More importantly, could he solve the after-effects of the Nightmare devouring souls and life force.

This was very important to Lin Feng, attracting all his focus, so much so that he didn’t even pay attention to the changes in his body.

“Damn, what a tough guy!”

“Expressionless, is he devoid of pain?”

“He seems to be contemplating life?”

Eight minutes had passed, and 30 people had left the Demon Blood Pool since their body wasn’t strong or they couldn’t withstand the pain, accepting the mentors’ treatment.

In the eyes of outsiders, at this time Lin Feng stood in the blood pool with a grave expression, frowning, as if deep in thought.

Compared to the others’ painful wails, he was calm as if really taking a bath.
