Chapter 475: Chapter 346: Driven Mad

Two hours later, everyone gathered once again in the room where Lin Feng was.

Just as the door was about to close, Zhan Tianyu finally arrived, breathing a bit heavily.

“Why did you come as well?”

Yu Qiao was a bit surprised by Zhan Tianyu’s arrival. He glanced at Yang Ningbing and smiled, saying:

“I just suggested that those who lack a sense of collective honor and courage should have their special privileges revoked.”

“I spent a couple more days with my mom. She has a lot of concerns. Who said I wasn’t going?”

Zhan Tianyu entered the room, glanced disdainfully at Yu Qiao, and said unhappily, “If you have the guts, why wouldn’t I?”

“Heh, as long as you have the guts.”

Yu Qiao smiled and didn’t say more.

Although he and Zhan Tianyu often clashed, whether verbally or physically, there was no insurmountable conflict between them, nor any deep-seated grudge.

Yu Qiao didn’t genuinely wish for Zhan Tianyu to leave the alliance, as it would be of no benefit to him.

He was merely stating the facts.

After all, there were consequences for Lin Feng using these special privileges.

He clearly understood when and why the alliance was formed.

The name of the alliance itself signifies its purpose.

Avengers Alliance, an act of vengeance against the Alien Race.

If the Space Gate merges successfully and the Key is taken by the Alien Race, the consequences would be dire.

Far worse than the emergence of dozens, even hundreds of new Space Gates.

If alliance members retreat at such a critical moment, how could vengeance be spoken of?

If it were anyone else, Yu Qiao would have said the same, even if it were Lin Feng’s closest friends Yun Kai and Little Sister Dong.

Zhan Tianyu understood this as well. So, although he was angry and displeased with Yu Qiao, wanting to give him a beating, he didn’t hold a genuine grudge.

No one wasted words at this point, and all eyes turned to Lin Feng.

“Are you all ready?” Lin Feng asked with a smile as he stood up from the sofa.

“Always ready,” Little Sister Dong replied with a smile.

“Are you all planning to absorb soul skills this time?”

Lin Feng continued to ask.

Yu Qiao and Yang Ningbing already possessed five soul skills.

Ye Qiu had just absorbed his fourth soul skill a few days ago. Even though the Lifebound Demon Spirit had grown to the Fifth Grade, it would be difficult to absorb a fifth soul skill in such a short time.

As for Yun Kai, he had only absorbed three soul skills.

Yue Mingming, as a Summoner, had only absorbed two soul skills, the least among them.

“I just absorbed my fourth soul skill. The fifth soul skill needs time, and I haven’t found one yet,” Ye Qiu said.

Zhan Tianyu also explained, “I’m like Ye Qiu. I haven’t decided yet.”

“Oh, you do have some ambition,” Yu Qiao teased Zhan Tianyu.

It was clear that Zhan Tianyu wanted to absorb a Diamond Soul Skill as his fifth soul skill.

As the runner-up of this year’s national college honor league, Yang Ningbing, Zhan Tianyu, and Ye Qiu were all rewarded with a Demon Spirit containing a Purple Gold Soul Skill.

But evidently, none of the three planned to absorb it.

This was understandable.

Their situation was different now.

In the past, Yu Qiao would have been overjoyed to absorb a Purple Gold Soul Skill.

It’s worth noting that among his five soul skills, the highest was only a Golden Soul Skill, without a single Purple Gold Soul Skill.

With Lin Feng’s help and after Ye Qiu absorbed the Diamond Soul Skill as his fourth, everyone’s perspective and mindset had shifted.

If there was a chance to absorb a Diamond Soul Skill, who would choose a Purple Gold Soul Skill?

With family support, financial resources, and a guaranteed success rate, Zhan Tianyu had the luxury of choice.

“I’m struggling too. I’ve only absorbed four soul skills and still have two to choose from. You’re lucky, without my troubles.”

Faced with Yu Qiao’s teasing, Zhan Tianyu shrugged helplessly.

Despite his helplessness, his expression clearly showed schadenfreude.

This prompted Yu Qiao to roll his eyes several times and mutter, “You bastard.”

Before joining the Avengers Alliance, he had already absorbed five soul skills: one silver and four gold.

Although each soul skill was excellent and powerful when combined, none could compare with a Diamond Soul Skill.

Yue Mingming was fortunate; there was no comparing to her.

Before joining the alliance, Ye Qiu had only absorbed three soul skills.

A few days ago, with Lin Feng’s help, he absorbed his fourth soul skill, a Diamond Soul Skill.

Yun Kai had only absorbed three soul skills by then.

Except for him and Yang Ningbing, others had only absorbed four soul skills.

The difference of one soul skill was significant!

How wonderful it would be to be like Ye Qiu.

Yu Qiao felt he’d missed out on two Diamond Soul Skills.

The level difference of two soul skills significantly impacted power.

Yu Qiao’s Lifebound Demon Spirit Ghostly Serpent was currently only at the Sixth Grade, capable of bearing only six soul skills.

If he devoured the Shadow Puppet today and succeeded in soul skill absorption, it would take him at least two years to absorb the seventh soul skill.

Thinking of this pained Yu Qiao, and Zhan Tianyu was rubbing salt in his wounds.

Looking at Zhan Tianyu’s seemingly helpless expression, Yu Qiao had an impulse to slap him.

At that moment, Yang Ningbing’s expression wasn’t pleasant either.

Her feelings were the same as Yu Qiao’s.

Seeing Yang Ningbing’s unfriendly glare, Zhan Tianyu chuckled awkwardly, “I forgot, my mistake, accidental friendly fire.”

“Everyone put on your eye masks.”

Ignoring the antics, Lin Feng grabbed a bag from the sofa, took out several eye masks, and distributed them to the group.

“Still playing mysterious.”

Yu Qiao muttered, seemingly somewhat reluctant to wear it.

“If it’s difficult, you don’t have to wear it. Take care.”

Lin Feng had no intention of indulging Yu Qiao, he said blandly.

“Haha, this blindfold is quite nice. I haven’t been sleeping well recently and was just thinking of buying one. Perfect timing, thanks.”

Yu Qiao immediately said with a grin, not daring to complain anymore.

Everyone chuckled, and Zhan Tianyu said, “Shameless.”

Amidst the laughter, everyone put on their blindfolds.

Although He Jun was confused, he didn’t ask further questions and also put on his blindfold, his heart racing.

“If you can absorb the soul skill yourself, then do so. Let me know if you can’t hold on. Remember to inform me in advance, don’t wait until your soul power is depleted and backlash occurs, then we’ll go two by two, starting with Little Sister Dong and Yun Kai.”

Lin Feng reminded.

Yun Kai and Little Sister Dong nodded, simultaneously activating the Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact, standing there devouring the Demon Spirit.

Not long after, Little Sister Dong’s body trembled slightly, her expression twisted, seemingly enduring pain, occasionally letting out muffled groans.

Compared to Little Sister Dong, Yun Kai appeared very calm, apart from a slight frown, showing no significant reaction.

Three minutes later, Little Sister Dong was the first to call out, “I can’t hold on…”

Before her voice fell, a wave of evil and bloody aura appeared out of thin air, instantly filling the entire room.

This aura made everyone’s heart tremble, bodies instantly stiffened, blood seemed to coagulate, goosebumps rising all over.

When Lin Feng’s right hand covered the position of Little Sister Dong’s Soul Sea, a cold and evil power flowed through his right hand into Little Sister Dong’s Soul Sea.

Without even getting close, the Demon Spirit in the Soul Sea, which had been struggling and in a frenzy, suddenly calmed down, shivering.

In this state, the resistance of the Demon Spirit decreased by seventy percent, the devouring speed accelerated, five minutes later, Little Sister Dong exclaimed excitedly, “It’s done.”

Not long after, Yun Kai also called out, “Brother Feng.”

The next second, Lin Feng’s right hand covered the position of Yun Kai’s Soul Sea.

“What a terrifying aura.”

Yun Kai’s body trembled slightly. Facing this evil and bloody aura, even the Golden Lion King would be frightened, let alone the Demon Spirit he was devouring.

Moreover, the bloodline within him seemed to sense this power, slightly trembling, instinctively resisting it.

Although deeply shocked in his heart, Yun Kai did not get distracted. After stabilizing his bloodline power, he concentrated his mind, controlling the Golden Lion King to devour the Demon Spirit.

While assisting Yun Kai in absorbing the soul skill, Lin Feng said, “Yu Qiao, start. Yue Mingming and Yang Ningbing, get ready.”

…..

Half an hour later, the evil aura dissipated. When everyone removed their blindfolds, their eyes still held traces of shock.

Except for Yue Mingming, Yun Kai, and the other four looked relaxed and joyful.

“Don’t look so depressed, brother’s got your back.”

Yu Qiao patted Yue Mingming on the shoulder, comforting him.

“I feel like you’re gloating.”

Yue Mingming looked distressed.

All four absorbed successfully, and he alone failed, it’s impossible not to be dejected.

As the champion’s reward, he chose the Ninth Grade Shining Bird. The Shining Bird’s innate skill was famous, called “Flash.”

The effect is similar to Instant Teleportation, a Spatial Soul Skill.

As a Summoner, Yue Mingming’s own strength wasn’t strong, his priority was ensuring his own safety.

Absorbing “Flash” would prevent enemies from easily approaching.

The difficulty of absorbing Spatial Soul Skills was too high, the failure rate far exceeded that of other types of soul skills.

Yue Mingming had expectations, but he still felt heartache.

A single Shining Bird was worth over three billion.

Three billion!

In the past, working hard in school, he couldn’t earn three million a year.

Not even one percent.

The more he thought, the more it pained him.

“My support isn’t universal, it can’t guarantee one hundred percent success. You need to consider yourself before absorbing soul skills.”

Seeing Yue Mingming’s heartache, Lin Feng reminded everyone once again.

Yue Mingming isn’t Zhan Tianyu, without family or financial group support, if the soul skill absorption failed, he simply couldn’t afford a second Shining Bird.

Lin Feng couldn’t foot the bill for Yue Mingming either.

Yue Mingming sighed, although he wanted to appear unconcerned, he was still gloomy, truly heartbroken, unable to pretend otherwise.

Looking at everyone still in Demon Transformation, He Jun was shocked.

In just half an hour, assisting five people in absorbing soul skills.

All Diamond Soul Skills!

Except for Yue Mingming, the other four all succeeded.

The success rate reached eighty percent, terrifyingly high.

If Yue Mingming wasn’t absorbing a space attribute soul skill, perhaps the success rate could reach one hundred percent.

Diamond Soul Skills are difficult to absorb, even the Spirit King usually only has two Diamond Soul Skills.

And they are the ninth and tenth soul skills.

Yet Yu Qiao and the others have Diamond Soul Skills as their fifth soul skill.

Yun Kai and Ye Qiu even have Diamond Soul Skills as their fourth soul skill.

He Jun couldn’t understand why Lin Feng possessed such ability.

This ability is too incredible, would drive all Demon Spirit Masters crazy.

This special treatment, not to mention All-Star team members, any Demon Spirit Master would want to join this alliance.

Yun Kai and the other four absorbed Diamond Soul Skills, greatly enhancing their strength.

Before entering the Land of Chaos, Zhan Tianyu and Huang Tianze would also likely attempt absorption.

In He Jun’s view, this time’s Land of Chaos key competition might surprise everyone.
