Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 173 Mirror Beast

After a slight dizziness subsided, a mysterious world appeared before Lin Feng's eyes, drawn by a suction force.

This world has no sun, moon, or stars; no sky or earth; not even flowers or grass.

Everything was a riot of colors, and the feel underfoot was like walking on a springy rubber track.

Lin Feng stood still, looking around. It was as if he were inside a colorful bubble, only this bubble was enormous and had no boundaries.

The world before my eyes is extremely beautiful and dreamlike, but it is also somewhat oppressive, giving people a sense of lifelessness.

"This is the realm of demons and spirits!"

Lin Feng's eyes lit up slightly; this was his first time entering this place.

Without the talent to become a demon spirit master, one can't even come into contact with such treatment, let alone enjoy it.

Out of habit, Lin Feng did not immerse himself in this dreamlike world. Instead, he immediately observed his surroundings. All he saw were demon spirits; there wasn't a single demon beast, let alone the strange person Bu Zheng had mentioned.

That makes sense, even at Hongyun University, only one person can enter the Demon Spirit Realm each year.

This is why everyone wants to sit on the first throne in the Throne Challenge.

Entering the Demon Realm is an extremely precious privilege, and those who can enjoy it are extremely rare, but this is no secret.

Lin Feng knew that the other two hero academies also had summoners and could enter the demon spirit realm through spatial arrays.

Of the nine elite joint schools, three are able to get into this program.

But regardless of the university, just like Hongyun University, it only applies to the first freshman.

Five days ago, Qi Wu, who won first place in the Carp Dragon Gate Challenge for freshmen at Demon Star University, also entered the Demon Spirit Realm and absorbed a silver soul skill. As for what kind of soul skill it is, that's a secret.

Generally speaking, if they are not teammates, the spirit master will not let others know about their soul skills.

Two days ago, during the Great Wall University ladder battle, Ye Qiu, who reached the first ladder, also entered the demon spirit realm and absorbed a golden soul skill, which caused a sensation throughout the country.

The fact that he could absorb a gold-level soul skill with his first soul skill shows that he is indeed a peerless genius who can refine the 17th ranked Thorn Demon Dragon.

Many demon spirit masters never manage to acquire a gold-level soul skill in their entire lives, but Ye Qiu's soul cultivation talent is truly extraordinary and enviable.

Like Qi Wu, people only know that Ye Qiu absorbed a golden soul skill, but what exactly it is and what its effects are are also a secret.

Besides universities, some other forces can also enter the demon realm, but they deliberately stagger their entry times to avoid being discovered by other beings.

This is a secret realm specially created by extraordinary individuals, and only geniuses among them are qualified to enter.

Lin Feng kept Bu Zheng's serious warning in mind, but he was not too wary. At this moment, he was not afraid at all, but rather looked forward to meeting the geniuses of the Extraordinary Ones.

At this stage, even if he refines a first-tier demon spirit without absorbing any soul skills, Lin Feng is confident that he will be invincible among his peers.

Lin Feng looked into the distance and saw a large number of lights and shadows flying by at extremely fast speed, like streaks of aurora.

These aurora-like lights and shadows were actually all demonic spirits.

Apart from the colorful spirits, there was almost nothing else in the world before my eyes.

This is a world that truly belongs to demons and spirits.

"The spiritual energy is so dense, at least three times that of Hongyun University, and there are also fluctuations in soul power."

Feeling the spiritual energy within this space, Lin Feng sighed.

No wonder Dean Bu said that the Demon Realm is beneficial to demons. Such rich spiritual energy and soul power can completely make up for the energy loss of the demons themselves.

In the magnificent aurora world, Lin Feng sped through this mysterious world like a bolt of lightning, with streaks of light flashing past him.

call out.
Many demons, upon discovering the arrival of uninvited guests, abruptly changed direction and quickly disappeared.

Lin Feng simply observed carefully without giving chase, letting the lights and shadows disappear, because there was no demon spirit he wanted to absorb.

"They are all mid-level or higher demon spirits, and many of them possess golden soul skills!"

Not far away, dozens of demon spirits passed by. Most of them were mid-level demon spirits, not high-level, but almost all of them possessed gold-level soul skills.

In the outside world, golden soul skills are treasured, but here they are as common as cabbages, readily available everywhere.

In fact, there are fewer demon spirits with silver soul skills than those with gold soul skills.

No wonder that even knowing that entering the demon realm and encountering extraordinary beings would be life-threatening and have a high mortality rate, no student would refuse such an opportunity.

A Gold-level Soul Skill—many Spirit Masters will never possess such a precious Soul Skill in their entire lives.

"The arowana's natural ability is to blow bubbles, so the direction for training it is very simple: increase the power and quantity of the bubbles!"

As Lin Feng searched for the demon spirit, he secretly thought to himself.

Blowing bubbles is an innate ability of the arowana. Although it has both lightning and water attributes and the characteristic of explosion, the bubbles are slow to move and have a pitifully weak power, not even enough to kill a single insect.

Bubble's skill effect is excellent, but because the dragonfish's level is too low, its power, attack speed and number are not satisfactory.

This is an inherent disadvantage that is difficult to change in the short term.

Even if a bubble explodes with great force, it is difficult to damage the enemy because the attack speed is too slow.

Even as the demon spirit evolves and Lin Feng's strength increases, eventually allowing him to launch ten or even dozens of bubble attacks, the speed is too slow. As long as the enemy dodges in time, avoids entering the attack range, or attacks from a distance, the bubble attacks pose little threat.

Only when a large number of bubbles explode together do they have real destructive power. If hundreds or thousands of bubbles explode together, causing a chain reaction, the enemy will have no way to escape.

"My first soul skill should ideally be 'Clone'!"

Lin Feng already had a clear goal for his first soul skill.

Clone: ​​This soul skill allows you to summon a clone that is identical to your original body.

Possessing this soul skill makes it a divine ability, whether in battle or in escape.

Spirits with the ability to create clones are rare. Different spirits have different effects on their abilities, and the duration of the clones they create, as well as the strength of the clones they possess, also vary.

The clone can summon an external avatar identical to the original body, and naturally can also conjure more bubbles to attack.

For every demon spirit master, creating clones is a coveted soul skill.

A demon spirit with the ability to create clones costs at least one billion.

Regardless of the type of 'clone' soul skill or its effect, they all belong to the purple-gold level, and some even reach the diamond level.

Like space-type soul skills, it is extremely rare and uncommon.

It's hard to find on the market, and nobody sells it.

The demons kept passing by, and upon seeing Lin Feng's figure, these intelligent demons would speed up and flee.

"This place is truly a treasure."

Although he didn't find any spirits with the ability to create clones, Lin Feng did encounter quite a few water and lightning spirits, some of which had very impressive soul skills.

These are all extremely rare and powerful gold-level soul skills, some of which are suitable for dragonfish to absorb, such as the gold-level soul skill 'fission'.

However, Lin Feng felt that coming to this treasure land and only refining a golden soul skill would be a huge waste.

Of course, for others, a gold-level soul skill is already extremely precious. As for the first soul skill, let alone a gold-level soul skill, they should be happy if they could even absorb a silver-level soul skill.

Soul cultivation geniuses like Ye Qiu are just isolated cases.

Lin Feng continued to travel through the Demon Spirit Realm, carefully observing the colorful lights and shadows, searching for the demon spirit he wanted. However, even in the Demon Spirit Realm, demon spirits with clone soul skills were extremely rare.

Lin Feng was not in a hurry. He searched and captured demonic spirits while absorbing their soul power.

Two hours later, I still felt energetic, but my eyes were a little sore and uncomfortable.

"Huh, a Mirror Beast."

Just as Lin Feng was about to rest for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. Twenty meters away, amidst the rainbow-like aurora, a blue demonic spirit instantly caught Lin Feng's attention. With the distinctive blue color of water, resembling a mongoose, but possessing mirror-like armor, it was clearly a seventh-tier Mirror Beast.

Mirror Beast, a water-attribute monster, possesses the innate skill 'Mirror Image,' which is a copying skill.

If Lin Feng absorbs the 'Mirror Image' soul skill, the dragon fish's innate ability, Bubble, can replicate more, but it will not be able to create clones of its original body.

This soul skill is also at the purple-gold level.

Both being purple-gold soul skills, 'Mirror Image' is not as precious as 'Clone' because it cannot create an external avatar. However, even among purple-gold soul skills, 'Mirror Image' is considered a high-level skill.

"laugh!"

Silver arcs of electricity appeared beneath Lin Feng's feet, accompanied by faint hissing sounds. More than ten meters away, amidst a multitude of colorful lights and shadows, a figure suddenly appeared. The arrival of this uninvited guest clearly startled these demon spirits, who all fled at lightning speed as if avoiding a snake or scorpion.

"Still trying to run!"

The deep blue light and shadow moved with incredible speed, like a blue lightning bolt flashing past Lin Feng.

This speed surprised Lin Feng.

Faced with danger, these demons fled at a speed vastly different from the demons on Awakening Day six months ago.

Like the difference between a bicycle and a motorcycle.

If the demon spirit possesses such speed on the day of awakening, I'm afraid very few people would be able to catch it.

After the initial surprise, Lin Feng quickly realized that the demon spirits from the Awakening Day had all had their bestial nature and power suppressed by the [Blue Moon] artifact. Therefore, compared to the demon spirits here, the demon spirits from the Awakening Day were much weaker in terms of reaction, flight speed, and refining difficulty.

Therefore, it is more difficult to find a suitable spirit in the spirit world.

The Mirror Beast was very fast, even faster than Lin Feng when he used Thunder Step.

This spirit has sentience, but its wisdom is not high.

Silver light flashed from the soles of Lin Feng's feet. With a whoosh, he appeared in the path the mirror beast was trying to escape. After flashing four times, the demon spirit suddenly rushed towards Lin Feng. When it realized it wanted to stop, it was too late, and Lin Feng grabbed it.

"Should we refine it?"

The illusory spirit struggled in Lin Feng's hand, feeling like he was holding a cotton candy, except that this blue 'cotton candy' was radiating a cold chill.

There is no doubt that 'mirror images' are rare and precious, but what Lin Feng most wants to refine is 'clone'.

In the future, it will definitely refine the 'clone' soul skill.

"The clone must be refined. The effects of the mirror image and the clone are overlapping, but the overlapping effect is just a matter of quantity, which does not mean it is bad."

"After refining this mirror beast, the dragon fish will definitely become stronger. With so many demon spirits here, it should be able to break through to the second tier. At that time, it can also devour a demon spirit and absorb another soul skill."

After considering it for a while, Lin Feng finally decided to refine the demon spirit.

Even if a demon spirit master refines the same demon spirit, their future career path and training direction may not be the same, depending on their own characteristics.

The most significant difference in training direction actually lies in the different soul skills absorbed.

There are many demon spirit masters, and some even specialize in refining the same type of soul skills.

A power-type spirit master can specifically absorb power-type soul skills, such as 'Berserk', 'Enhancement', 'Blood Burn', and 'Ant Power', all of which are soul skills that enhance power.

Because it absorbs soul skills related to power, it's natural that this demon spirit master's power far surpasses that of other demon spirit masters, and its power may even be several times stronger than that of other demon spirit masters of the same type.

However, at the same time, because they did not absorb speed-type soul skills, their speed was definitely not as good as others, and they only had strength attacks, making their attack methods too monotonous.

This direction of training has both advantages and disadvantages.

Some spirit masters are very strong, while others are very weak.

For martial arts geniuses, if they absorb the same type of power and soul skills, they can make up for it by cultivating movement techniques and martial arts skills, but it will take a lot of time and effort.

But for Lin Feng, this was not a problem. His agility and martial arts skills were among his greatest strengths.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the ground and directly slapped the demon spirit into his soul sea.

As soon as the Mirror Beast entered the Soul Sea, before it could even struggle, it sensed an extremely terrifying aura. This aura wasn't particularly powerful, but it was extremely evil, bloody, and violent, causing the Mirror Beast to tremble. When it discovered the Nightmare's presence, it was so frightened that it dared not move.

"really."

Lin Feng was overjoyed.

He had previously discovered that low-level demons would show extreme fear when faced with the aura of nightmares, and would not dare to resist even if they were devoured.

Unexpectedly, not only low-level demon spirits, but even high-level mirror beasts were no exception in the face of nightmares.

This is obviously beneficial to Lin Feng.

Although a first-tier natal spirit is the lowest level, it also has its advantages. Because it is weak, as long as the attributes match, there will be almost no rejection reaction. In addition, with the suppression of the Nightmare, Lin Feng's success rate in refining spirits is terrifyingly high.

If other demon spirit masters knew this, they would probably be insanely envious.

For a demon spirit master, a good soul skill is life itself.

However, even if you obtain a good soul skill, it does not mean that you can successfully refine it.

Many demon spirit masters, upon acquiring a good soul skill, will seal it in a demon-sealing soul artifact and will not absorb it immediately.

You must wait until your natal spirit becomes stronger, your physique is more robust, and the spirit's attributes are more suitable for the soul skill you want to absorb. Only when all conditions are met can you truly refine and absorb it.

Even so, success is not guaranteed.

Devouring demon spirits and absorbing their soul skills is a gamble. If you're lucky, you'll be overjoyed, but if you fail, you'll lose everything.

At Hongyun University, some students have to spend hundreds of millions to absorb a golden soul skill, which is the main reason why there are so few students with golden soul skills.

Gold-level soul skills are not very rare. If they are not extremely precious, their value is only tens of millions, or at most tens of millions, but rarely more than a hundred million. However, there is a risk of failure when absorbing them.

It's possible that you might not succeed even after several or even ten attempts.

Even a soul cultivation genius like Ye Qiu couldn't guarantee that he would be able to absorb it successfully.

The higher the level of the soul skill, the lower the success rate of absorption.

Some demon spirit masters, lacking family support, could have absorbed gold-level soul skills, but after several failures, they worried about the risk of failure and, for the sake of safety, chose lower-level silver-level soul skills. Such examples are not uncommon.

There are countless examples of demon spirit masters who refine high-level demon spirits but end up achieving nothing because of low-level soul skills they absorb, or even because they fail to absorb soul skills at all.

Therefore, the more powerful a demon spirit master is, the poorer they may be.

Whether it's refining a demon spirit or devouring a demon spirit to absorb its soul skills, the most difficult thing is the demon spirit's willpower to resist.

Powerful demon spirits possess extremely strong willpower. If a demon spirit master's soul power is not strong and their willpower is not firm, forcibly refining them may even result in a backlash. If they are not careful, they may suffer severe damage to their mental power or even have their souls reduced to ashes.

Under Lin Feng's control, the dragonfish began to devour the mirror beast. Because of the Nightmare's suppression, even when facing the lowest-level first-tier dragonfish, the mirror beast dared not resist, or rather, could not resist. It was as if it was suppressed by the aura of the Nightmare and could not move. It could only let the dragonfish transform into a blue transparent bubble, envelop it, and devour it little by little.

The most difficult step in refining demon spirits was incredibly easy for Lin Feng, without any hindrance, only the absorption speed was extremely slow.

At this rate, it would take at least a day or two to successfully refine it.

With Lin Feng's soul power, it would indeed be very difficult for a low-level dragonfish to devour a high-level mirror beast. If his soul power were overdrawn, it would mean that the devouring would fail, and this precious demon spirit would be ruined.

However, Lin Feng was prepared. Before coming to the Demon Spirit Realm, he prepared ten Qi and Blood Pills, but he also prepared a hundred Soul Nourishing Pills. With more than a dozen Soul Nourishing Pills entering his body, the refining speed continued to increase.

At Hongyun University, besides Lin Feng, no one else would dare to eat Soul Nourishing Pills like candy.

Even a regular mentor wouldn't dare; consuming so many Soul Nourishing Pills would cause their minds to become disordered and unstable.

Every medicine has its side effects. If Lin Feng hadn't needed to feed his nightmares with Soul Nourishing Pills every day, which would have given him some resistance, and if he hadn't had such a strong will, he probably wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant.

Just as Lin Feng was devouring the demon spirit, a kilometer away, a three-headed figure with a single horn and strange attire flew towards him while chasing the demon spirit.
