Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 161 The Intrigue of the Alien Race

When Lin Feng walked out of the secret room holding the jade slip, the main hall of the library was empty.

After returning the jade slip to its original place, he browsed through various introductions to cultivation techniques and martial arts skills in front of the bookshelf.

With just over ten minutes left until the hour was up, the opportunity was rare, but Lin Feng's mental energy was severely depleted, and he was no longer able to read another soul cultivation technique.

Even if he had the ability, he didn't plan to continue learning.

At this point, there were no more foreign martial arts techniques in this library.

Although humans also have many powerful techniques and martial arts, Nightmare only reacts to techniques from other races and can automatically modify and operate them.

Having grown accustomed to the speed of airplanes, asking Lin Feng to ride a bicycle isn't a question of whether he's used to it or not, but rather whether it makes any sense.

You'd be better off spending that time and energy exercising to improve your physical fitness.

Where can I find more martial arts techniques from other races?

Lin Feng thought to himself, "It must be a soul cultivation technique, because paper-based techniques are ineffective."

Having refined the Nightmare, Lin Feng naturally had high expectations for its monstrous comprehension ability. He had even tested it with a paper copy of the cultivation technique before coming to Hongyun University.

In the demonic transformation state, apart from having sharper hearing and eyesight, and faster reaction and comprehension abilities, I didn't feel any improvement in my understanding of the meridian route map!
Nightmare's ability seems to only work on soul techniques or soul martial arts.

If being possessed by a nightmare doesn't lead to intensified assimilation and has no aftereffects, then naturally one should learn both. But now that one can only choose one, the cultivation technique is obviously more important.

Soul cultivation techniques are rare to begin with, let alone those from other races.

If the "Fish-Dragon Transformation" manual hadn't been copied by a Martial Emperor, it could only be used dozens or hundreds of times; otherwise, it would have been ruined long ago.

However, if it is a king of another race, the soul cultivation technique that is inscribed can generally only be viewed ten times.

The moment such a technique appears, it will be analyzed and improved, and it will soon become obsolete.

Even with the resources of Hongyun University, the library only contains five alien cultivation techniques.

These five books must have been attempted to be improved, but perhaps they were too dangerous or too difficult to improve, and because they had no value, they were preserved.

The chances of finding a foreign cultivation technique, especially one without any attributes or with only the attributes of 'lightning' or 'water', are even slimmer.

We need to find out where these alien martial arts techniques are.
There are definitely no ordinary martial arts universities. The nine elite joint schools might have some, but they are probably only first or second tier universities and might not meet the criteria. It seems that only the other two hero academies are suitable.

"Right, a challenge against someone of the same level!"

Lin Feng quickly came up with an idea.

This idea has been tried by people from all three major hero academies, including Red Cloud University.

I don't know who created the game.

The three major hero academies and the nine elite joint schools can challenge each other at the same level. If the challenge is successful, one can make a request to that academy.

This "same level" refers to martial arts realm; there is no requirement regarding the level of the refined demon spirit.

Therefore, no matter how strong you are, you may encounter an opponent who can counter you, and this is especially true for demon spirit masters.

The talents and skills of spirits are incredibly diverse, and some of them can actually counter your abilities.

It is not uncommon for fifth-rank martial artists to be completely countered by fourth-rank martial artists due to their demonic spirits or soul skills.

Furthermore, this challenge opportunity can only be taken once.

Regardless of the challenger's strength, whether they are a first-rank or fifth-rank individual, they can only challenge that academy once and cannot challenge it repeatedly.

Although you can't repeat the challenge, there are many options for this requirement.

You could ask for a spirit beast from the academy's collection, an opportunity to enter the academy's secret realm for cultivation, a powerful spiritual weapon, or to learn cultivation techniques or martial arts from a particular mentor.

As long as there is a request, and it's not unreasonable, the university will not refuse it, nor would it have the face to refuse it.

Entering the library was naturally not a problem.

Choosing to enter the library would be a waste of this precious opportunity.

The three hero academies each have their own unique foundations. What Red Cloud lacks, Great Wall and Demon Star may have; what Great Wall and Demon Star lack, Red Cloud may possess.

Therefore, every year a few prodigies undertake this special challenge, and as long as they are not too arrogant, they generally will not suffer any serious injuries.

This game has been around for 40 years, and only two people have ever succeeded.

One of these two was Yan Hong, a junior at Great Wall University 24 years ago.

At that time, he was challenging students from Demon Star University, all of whom were at the fourth rank in martial arts.

The challenge was successfully completed after ten days.

He requested a fifth-tier demon spirit, a treasured possession of Demon Star University.

Fifth-tier Skybreaker Mouse.

It was a spirit that wasn't particularly strong, but possessed a rare spatial talent skill.

Unfortunately, he failed to absorb it, wasting a rare demon spirit.

Another one is Xu Feiying, a senior at Moxing University 17 years ago.

Compared to Yan Hong, he was more talented and stronger.

He challenged all the fifth-grade students at Great Wall University.

The challenge was successfully completed after seven days.

He didn't reveal what he wanted after winning; it's a secret. All the outside world knows is that Great Wall University hesitated for three days before giving it to him.

They seemed very reluctant to part with it.

But no matter how reluctant I was, I couldn't refuse.

Unrivaled among their peers, representing the pinnacle of human genius.

Such a genius has extraordinary potential. Even if his strength is not strong for the time being, he has special value and role to the human race, and the whole country will pave the way for him.

He won. Whatever he wants, no matter how precious or rare, as long as it's available and not an unreasonable request, the university has no reason to refuse.

Refusing would be even more humiliating than having all others in the same category choose theirs!

They might even be ridiculed by the entire nation!
After defeating Great Wall University that year, Xu Feiying was in high spirits and soon challenged Hongyun University, also challenging all the students in the fifth rank. However, this time, he failed.

Because his strength and soul skills were completely countered by a girl, he had no choice but to give up in the end.

"Once I've mastered the fifth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Transformation, I can give it a try!"

Lin Feng began to make a plan in his mind.

Despite obtaining the first throne, Lin Feng was not arrogant enough to believe that he was invincible among his peers.

When facing a demon spirit master, there might be one or two of his various strange talents, skills, and soul techniques that can counter him.

Therefore, it's safer to cultivate the "Fish-Dragon Transformation" to the fifth transformation.

After all, you only get one chance to take on the challenge at the same university, so you can't afford to miss it.

Just then, the sound of the bronze door being pushed open rang out.

"Everyone come out!"

With a loud shout, all the secret room doors opened instantly, and Yun Kai and Dong Yunan quickly appeared in front of Lin Feng.

The two looked somewhat tired, as did the other seven; they were clearly all mentally exhausted.

"Walk."

Lin Feng said something and quickly passed through the spatial rift, appearing in the library.

Bu Zheng glanced at Lin Feng, who had appeared, and frowned slightly. Then his gaze lingered on the latter, as if he had sensed something.

"Brother Feng, how are you?"

Yun Kai then appeared, and as soon as he appeared, he came to Lin Feng's side and asked.

He knew that Lin Feng had taken the scroll "Fish and Dragon Transformation" and was afraid that Lin Feng would go crazy and cultivate it recklessly, so he asked specifically.

"I've made some progress," Lin Feng said casually.

Ye Ming and the others watched Lin Feng's performance from the sidelines.

In their view, Lin Feng had clearly failed, and his subsequent change of cultivation method proved this point.

"You gained something from 'Fish and Dragon Transformation'?"

Ye Ming couldn't help but laugh, his tone laced with sarcasm. With Lin Feng's bizarre methods, it would be a miracle if he gained anything.

"You didn't actually remember that, did you?" Yun Kai asked incredulously.

"You've cultivated the 'Fish-Dragon Transformation'?" Bu Zheng walked over at this moment, his expression slightly changed, and he asked sternly.

He was more familiar with this martial arts manual than anyone else.

Yun Kai was slightly taken aback, and thought to himself, "Oh no, I didn't expect to attract Bu Zheng's attention."

"I was just curious about this cultivation technique, and then I chose other techniques."

Lin Feng shook his head, not admitting it.

He naturally knew the consequences of cultivating the "Fish-Dragon Transformation" and the tragic examples associated with it, so he didn't want to waste his breath explaining.

Do you know who created this martial arts manual?

Bu Zheng seemed to see through Lin Feng's perfunctory attitude.

This opportunity to choose a soul cultivation technique is very precious. An hour is not a long time, and it is not enough for many people. The fact that the technique is on the "danger" bookshelf is obviously not something that Lin Feng can explain with just a curious statement.

"do not know."

Lin Feng only knew that this cultivation technique was a god-level technique, combining lightning and water elements, and possessing immense power. As for the identity of the person who created this technique, he really didn't know.

At this moment, Bu Zheng looked at Lin Feng and said in a sharp tone: "The person who created this technique is called Hai Shan, but both the alien races and we call him the Dragon King."

"Dragon King!"

Lin Feng was somewhat surprised.

In an era of spiritual revival, not everyone is qualified to be king!

Although the Martial King is known as a King-level expert, that only represents a certain realm.

Those who can be called kings are all recognized as the strongest.

Dragons are the most powerful monsters in nature, and the fact that someone can be called the Dragon King shows the strength of that sea mountain.

"He is over three hundred years old this year, which is not considered old among emperors, but his strength has reached the peak of Martial Emperor. He is the master of the Dragon King Palace, one of the five top forces of the alien races. The cultivation technique 'Fish-Dragon Transformation' has made his physical body comparable to that of a dragon. Not only that, he is also a demon spirit master. He has refined the Nether Dragon Demon Spirit ranked 11th on the Earth Ranking and has also reached the extraordinary level!"

"The 'Fish-Dragon Transformation' makes his physical body comparable to that of a dragon. With the Nether Dragon possessing him and in his demonic transformation state, the combined power of his cultivation technique and demonic spirit makes him far stronger than a real dragon. This doesn't even include his rare and powerful soul skills."

At this point, Bu Zheng's words were icy, as if they contained endless hatred and killing intent, but even more so, a deep sense of powerlessness:

"Whether among alien races or humans, he is recognized as an invincible existence. He has killed two Martial Emperors and one Transcendent among humans. On one occasion, he killed both of them in succession."

Lin Feng and his group were shocked.

The Martial Emperor and the Extraordinary are already the pinnacle of human power!

Such powerful individuals are beyond their reach; even as geniuses, their chances of reaching that level are slim.

Their goal is to become king.

The emperor couldn't even dream of it.

China currently has only thirteen officially recognized Emperor-level experts, and yet three of them have been killed, two of whom were killed simultaneously.
"This cultivation technique is extremely precious, it can be called a divine-level technique, and it can create an invincible powerhouse. However, due to an accident, I was lucky enough to obtain it."

Bu Zheng said calmly, his eyes filled with reminiscence and regret.

He knew this technique better than anyone else, because he was practicing the "Fish-Dragon Transformation".

If he hadn't cultivated, he would have become a king long ago.

If they hadn't obtained this martial arts manual, none of his classmates would have died.
Lin Feng looked at Bu Zheng with surprise in his eyes.

He knew that Hongyun University had "Fish and Dragon Transformation", but he did not expect that it was obtained by Bu Zheng.

As for the unexpectedness Bu Zheng mentioned, although his tone seemed calm, his eyes revealed pain and regret.

What is he in pain about?
What is there to regret?
Was it because of those geniuses who died while practicing cultivation techniques?

If this cultivation technique can create invincible powerhouses, then the death of some geniuses is not unacceptable.

Seemingly sensing Lin Feng and the others' thoughts, Bu Zheng smiled slightly, a smile tinged with bitterness and self-mockery: "Don't you find it strange? How could someone obtain a technique that's practically divine so easily?"

Lin Feng's heart suddenly raced.

Before practicing this technique, he did have this doubt, but he didn't think much of it, assuming that someone was just lucky enough to have obtained it from the Dragon King's relative or descendant.

"This was actually a conspiracy, and we only discovered it many years later!"

"What conspiracy?"

Lin Feng asked quickly.

He has successfully cultivated the first transformation of "Fish-Dragon Transformation," the "Fish Body." If it's a conspiracy, he certainly cannot continue cultivating it.

"Is there something wrong with the cultivation technique, which is why so many people are failing?"

Dong Yunan was also very curious, because Lin Feng had planned to cultivate this technique.

She also has a water-attribute constitution and can cultivate this technique as well.

After a moment of silence, Bu Zheng slowly spoke: "It is precisely because the cultivation technique is flawless, without any problems, that so many people are deceived. This cultivation technique is indeed comparable to a god-level technique, but it is impossible for humans to successfully learn it."

"Of ten geniuses, five will be trapped by that complex circulation path, wasting years and missing the best time to cultivate. The remaining half of the geniuses, who possess great perseverance and faith, will spend more than ten years improving that complex circulation path of spiritual energy, but it will be of no use. Even if they cultivate to the fifth transformation and know how to transform spiritual energy into that special power, they will still die from their bodies exploding due to insufficient physical strength!"

"Physical strength? Then those who cultivate this technique just need to work hard to train their physical bodies, right?"

Ye Ming also asked in confusion.

This is a god-level cultivation technique!
"You're oversimplifying things, and so are we."

Bu Zheng's tone was tinged with self-deprecation and sadness: "Before this, no one knew that the Dragon King was not only a genius who cultivated both soul and martial arts, but also possessed the bloodline of the Giant Spirit Clan."

Giant Spirit Bloodline!
Lin Feng's expression was somewhat solemn.

Unexpectedly, this invincible expert had this trump card.

He had heard of this bloodline ability. Legend has it that the Giant Spirit Clan are descendants of the Giant Spirit God, and those whose bloodline has awakened can transform into the Giant Spirit God.

Of course, the description is a bit exaggerated, but according to the description in the alien books, the Giant Spirit race who awakens this bloodline can transform into a five-meter-tall giant if they use their bloodline abilities.

The ninth transformation of "Fish and Dragon Transformation" grants the user a half-dragon body, which, combined with the Nether Dragon Demon Spirit ranked 11th on the Earth Ranking and a giant spirit body standing five meters tall, makes the combination of the three terrifying and irresistible, even just thinking about it!

"The Giant Spirit bloodline and the top talent of dual cultivation of soul and martial arts are perhaps the reasons why he was able to control that power. And this answer was obtained at the cost of the lives of two emperors."

"However, by the time they found out, it was too late. There were already 27 super geniuses who had cultivated this technique, including some geniuses from bloodline clans. But to have the same outstanding martial arts talent as the Dragon King, to be able to refine the Earth Ranking Demon Spirit, especially a high-level dragon demon spirit ranked 11th on the Earth Ranking, and at the same time to have the bloodline ability of a powerful physique like the Giant Spirit bloodline, all three are indispensable. It is simply impossible to do it."

"Even if such a prodigy truly existed, I wouldn't have the courage to try, nor would I need to, because it's a technique from another race. It might suit the Dragon King, but it might not suit me. The chances of success are extremely slim, and without exception, all those geniuses either died or were crippled."

Bu Zheng laughed, with a hint of self-deprecation:
"Isn't it ridiculous? Back then, it wasn't just me; some other people also unexpectedly obtained this kind of cultivation technique inscribed on the soul of a Martial Emperor. It could be used dozens or even hundreds of times. The alien race is very clever. Every three or four years, they release a technique from different places, with different attributes, and in different ways of obtaining it. The only thing is the same."

Lin Feng naturally guessed what the same result would be, hence his grim expression.

"Dozens, even hundreds, of super geniuses have perished!"

It is obvious that this is a conspiracy by alien races; they are killing a large number of human geniuses!
Or a super genius!

Only exceptional geniuses are qualified to access and even begin to learn soul cultivation techniques.

This method of stifling human geniuses has almost no cost, yet its effects are remarkable. It happens without anyone noticing, and by the time you finally realize it, you've already paid a huge price.

Even if this method can only be used once, it is enough.

"Now, there are far fewer strong individuals in our generation. As a result, the alien races are growing stronger."

At this point, Bu Zheng didn't continue; saying more would be pointless.

Lin Feng is still too weak. Knowing these things too early at this level is not beneficial.

"I put it in the very corner of the 'Danger' bookshelf. I didn't expect you to find it and be interested in this technique."

Bu Zheng had no intention of persuading Lin Feng.

Having said all that, if Lin Feng is still ignorant and confident in cultivating this technique, then let him die.

It's a pity that such a prodigious talent was wasted, but such an overconfident genius won't live long.

If he dies sooner, he can save some resources for other geniuses.

At this point, Yun Kai and Dong Yunan were no longer worried that Lin Feng would cultivate this technique.

At this moment, no one knew that it was Bu Zheng's words that actually strengthened Lin Feng's resolve to cultivate the "Fish-Dragon Transformation".

If the technique is correct, then there is nothing to fear.

An invincible powerhouse!
Isn't this what I've been pursuing?

If you don't want to become invincible, why bother refining the Nightmare?

Refine this evil spirit that devours souls and life force.
