Chapter 404: Chapter 301: Success

The waiting team grew from three people to five, and eventually to seven.

The Avengers Alliance gathered seven of its eight members, excluding Lin Feng, which stirred up quite a bit of chatter.

The three major teams naturally attracted attention, but gathering at night in front of Lin Feng’s door didn’t seem like they were here to fight. Could there be some event happening?

The wait was too long, causing too much commotion, so to avoid drawing attention, the seven of them moved to the room opposite Lin Feng’s, which belonged to Yun Kai.

As the clock struck 1 a.m., Ye Qiu and the other two had already been waiting for nearly two hours when Lin Feng’s door slowly opened.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the long-waiting crowd got up and entered Lin Feng’s room.

“Why did it take so long?”

Inside the room, Zhan Tianyu couldn’t help but ask.

Although he was somewhat disgruntled, he dared not show any complaints in front of Lin Feng.

After all, he was the one seeking Lin Feng’s help.

Not the other way around.

Seeing so many people, Lin Feng wasn’t surprised: “You didn’t have to wait at the door all the time. You could have sat next door, chatted, or gone about your own business. I would have notified you when I was ready.”

“Can we try?”

Ye Qiu wasn’t in the mood for idle chatter. He asked directly.

At this moment, he wasn’t interested in doing anything else.

What could be more important to a Demon Spirit Master than Soul Skills?

Understanding Ye Qiu’s urgency, Lin Feng nodded: “You can.”

Then, he looked at the others: “You’re not the ones absorbing Soul Skills, why join in on the fun?”

“Just curious, it’s normal to be intrigued on the first try.” Yu Qiao said earnestly.

But his expression was mischievous, and he raised his eyebrows.

Lin Feng: “…”

Was this guy making a dirty joke?

The others couldn’t help but laugh.

Yang Ningbing coldly glanced at Yu Qiao but said nothing, obviously not wanting to discuss the topic.

“What’s that look for?”

Yu Qiao rolled his eyes at Yang Ningbing. If it were any other time, he might have mouthed off a bit, but now, the serious matter took precedence.

Like the others, he also wanted to witness this extraordinary ability firsthand.

Absorbing a Diamond Soul Skill as the fourth Soul Skill would undoubtedly spark national debate if it succeeded.

If he could succeed, it would shock not only ordinary Demon Spirit Masters but even Kings.

Typically a King absorbs only one or two Diamond Soul Skills out of ten.

Those who can absorb three Diamond Soul Skills are considered exceptional.

Besides Yue Mingming, even Yun Kai and the other six were very curious about how Lin Feng accomplished it.

After all, such an unbelievable ability had never been heard of.

Bloodline ability?

Or a Divine Artifact?

Or something else?

In truth, Yue Mingming was confused too. When asked by others earlier, he was clueless since he was blindfolded at the time, knowing only the results but not the process, also without Lin Feng’s permission, he dared not elaborate.

“To absorb the Soul Skill, I need quiet, you all should leave, you’ll find out eventually.”

Lin Feng issued an eviction order.

Upon hearing this, Yun Kai started to head for the door, Zhan Tianyu and Yang Ningbing exchanged a glance and smiled wryly, having waited for nothing.

“Just watching won’t do any harm, just watching won’t get you pregnant, Ye Qiu must have some restraint.” Yu Qiao annoyingly muttered, looking at Ye Qiu.

“I don’t mind,”

Ye Qiu said.

He wasn’t concerned about whether anyone was present.

In the chaotic and noisy environment of Awakening Day, he had successfully refined the Thorny Demon Dragon, let alone now.

“See, Ye Qiu doesn’t mind, we’re not leaving.” Yu Qiao quickly chimed in.

Seeing the eager looks from everyone, Lin Feng didn’t say anything further.

Since Ye Qiu had no objections, he didn’t either.

Though he said he had no objections, faced with everyone’s gaze, Ye Qiu’s body was a bit tense, somewhat nervous, since this time he was absorbing a Diamond Soul Skill.

“Good luck!”

“This is the first time for the alliance, a successful start.”

“They’re all Dragon Race Demon Spirits, absorbing Soul Skills gives you an edge, don’t worry, just stay calm.”

“Ye Qiu, you’re refining the Thorny Demon Dragon, a Divine-level Demon Spirit, such a high level, if you fail, it’ll be embarrassing.”

“Go Ye Qiu, you’re the best!”

Everyone cheered and encouraged, some even teased to alleviate the pressure.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s tension, Lin Feng smiled and said: “If it were Yu Qiao, I couldn’t promise, but given your talent, the Thorny Demon Dragon’s level, plus my assistance, I can’t say there’s a 100% success rate, but there’s at least a 60-70% chance.”

Seeing Lin Feng tease him, Yu Qiao grumbled: “What do you mean you couldn’t guarantee Yu Qiao? Don’t think just because you’re handsome that I wouldn’t dare take you down, I’m the chosen one.”

“Hmm.”

Hearing Lin Feng, Ye Qiu seemed to relax a bit, nodded, and asked: “How do we start?”

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said: “Everyone just close your eyes.”

Close your eyes.

Wouldn’t that mean you can’t see anything?

This request seemed odd.

Besides Yun Kai and Yue Mingming, who closed their eyes without any hesitation, Little Sister Dong followed suit, while the others looked at each other in confusion.

However, they could somewhat guess the reason.

Clearly, this was to maintain secrecy.

Although they had signed a contract preventing them from taking actions against Lin Feng, the varieties of Demon Spirits and the numerous functions of Soul Skills were vast, with some being unheard of and extraordinary.

For instance, a Dream Master could enter dreams and spy on others’ dreamscapes. If today’s scenes happened to appear in a dream, the secret could be uncovered.

No one could guarantee they wouldn’t dream or be spied upon.

There are also some rare Demon Spirits and innate skills capable of forcibly searching others’ memories, although they require high conditions and have limitations.

Closing their eyes was indeed the best way to ensure the secret wasn’t leaked.

As members of the alliance and beneficiaries, Lin Feng’s secret was essentially their secret as well.

If something happened to Lin Feng, they would also suffer significant losses.

Protecting this secret was also protecting themselves.

Therefore, even Yu Qiao, who usually talked a lot, obediently closed his mouth and eyes.

Ye Qiu also closed his eyes.

“You don’t need to close your eyes now, wait until I tell you, start directly, and inform me before you can’t hold on anymore.”

Lin Feng said to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu opened his eyes and looked at Lin Feng, nodding.

The next moment, with a roar, Ye Qiu entered the state of Demon Transformation.

Demon Possession, entering the state of Demon Transformation, can comprehensively enhance the body’s strength and Spiritual Power, increasing the success rate of absorbing Soul Skills.

A black undercurrent swirled around Ye Qiu as his body expanded. His hands swelled, turning into dragon claws with bulging veins. With a “hiss”, a dragon tail sprang from his coccyx, swinging like an iron whip. Black scales spread across his body, forming a suit of black armor, with sharp spikes extending from his tail to his forehead, and black wings sprouting from both sides of his body, the wingspan over two meters, like black blades.

In Ye Qiu’s eyes, a pair of fiery golden vertical pupils emerged, exuding a hint of coldness and madness.

After Demon Possession, Ye Qiu took the Demon Spirit from the Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact beneath his feet. The black cloud in his thorn-covered right hand struggled, letting out furious roars, but couldn’t break free.

When Night Dragon was absorbed into the Soul Sea, Ye Qiu closed his eyes and began refining the Demon Spirit, his body trembling slightly, occasionally letting out painful howls.

Clearly, devouring Night Dragon was not an easy task for Ye Qiu.

“Thorny Demon Dragon!”

Once again witnessing Ye Qiu’s Demon Transformation, Lin Feng’s eyes showed a hint of admiration.

The Awakening Day scene two years ago seemed to unravel before his eyes, vivid and unforgettable.

Back then, the cheers swept through Jiang City like a tsunami, causing a sensation.

That day, Ye Qiu’s name resounded throughout the city.

The entire day’s television was almost all about Ye Qiu.

Divine Level Demon Spirit, Divine Level Soul Skill.

Ye Qiu truly lived up to his name.

Even without Nightmare, his brilliance was not overshadowed, still dazzling.

“If you can’t endure, remember to notify me, don’t wait until your Soul Power is exhausted.”

Seeing Ye Qiu’s body tremble violently, Lin Feng reminded him.

It was naturally best if Ye Qiu could absorb on his own, saving him from Nightmare Possession and intensifying assimilation.

Ye Qiu did not respond, nor did he seek help, obviously sharing the same thought with Lin Feng.

After all, Lin Feng’s ability has significant aftereffects and can deplete Life Force.

“Help me.”

Two minutes later, Ye Qiu suddenly spoke.

The next second, Nightmare Possession!

An evil and bloody aura instantly filled the entire room, causing goosebumps on everyone, Ye Qiu included, and their bodies trembled slightly.

The evil aura was terrifying, the bloody scent nauseating, and at the same time, icy cold, as if it would freeze one’s blood.

“Celestial Punishment Sword?”

At this moment, a thought flashed through everyone’s mind.

They had witnessed Lin Feng’s Celestial Punishment Sword before, its aura equally evil and bloody, but not even a tenth as intense as now.

Everyone was curious, but they didn’t dare open their eyes.

Apart from keeping the secret, they also feared angering Lin Feng.

Especially under such a terrifying aura.

Compared to the rest, Ye Qiu’s sensation was several times stronger, as Lin Feng’s right hand was closely pressed against his Soul Sea, with an icy evil force entering his Soul Sea.

Facing this force, even the Thorny Demon Dragon was on high alert, not daring to move.

Ye Qiu could clearly sense his Lifebound Demon Spirit’s fear.

And the Nightmare Dragon, which was still desperately resisting and struggling, was even weaker than the Thorny Demon Dragon, directly subdued, trembling and ceasing to struggle.

Both Demon Spirits were simultaneously suppressed, both extremely frightened, but the Thorny Demon Dragon held a higher level with Ye Qiu’s control, faring much better than the Nightmare Dragon.

The devouring continued, and compared to before, the process was much smoother.

Under the suppression of that evil aura, under the threat of life, although the Nightmare Dragon resisted, its resistance had significantly weakened.

“Alright.”

Five minutes later, with Ye Qiu’s voice, Lin Feng instantly exited the Demon Transformation state.

The evil and bloody aura disappeared, allowing everyone to sigh with relief.

Breathing became easier.

At this moment, everyone opened their eyes, looking at Lin Feng, who showed no change.

And Ye Qiu, still with his eyes closed, maintained the state of Demon Transformation.

“Succeeded.”

Suddenly, Little Sister Dong exclaimed, as an unnoticed wisp of black smoke quietly emerged around Ye Qiu.

The smoke gradually spread, obscuring everyone’s sight, and soon, Ye Qiu vanished from everyone’s view.

The Night Sky’s innate skill, Dark Night Mist, successfully absorbed.
