Merging with Demon Spirits

Because of the Wind Celestial King’s "impulsive purchase," the other Celestial Kings seemed a bit troubled for a moment.

Alek, in the first round, possessed the power of a Middle Rank Spirit King. Spirit Kings with fire attributes excel at attacking, and his combat strength was considered above average among his peers.

However, when faced with Lin Feng, he was defeated without any apparent reason and didn’t even have the chance to showcase his abilities. This means that only a Upper Rank Spirit King could have absolute confidence in defeating Lin Feng.

The rules for the apostle’s debut are simple—there are no specific rules.

There’s no restriction on the challenge difficulty, nor on the strength, but now Lin Feng’s debut has only reached the second round, and already deploying a Upper Rank Spirit King?

Isn’t that a bit unfair?

Even if they do send out a Upper Rank Spirit King, Lin Feng likely wouldn’t accept it.

If Lin Feng doesn’t accept, then this challenge is meaningless.

Even if Lin Feng is very confident in his abilities and is willing to accept, the prize for a Middle Rank Spirit King is an Abyss Demon from the Earth Chart, so what reward should be used for a Upper Rank Spirit King?

As the challenge difficulty increases, the prize naturally has to increase accordingly.

A reward that is a level higher than an Abyssal Evil Ghost is something even the Celestial Kings would be reluctant to part with.

This is what truly troubles the Celestial Kings.

If the prize and difficulty are not proportionate, they, as Celestial Kings, won’t have the face to lay out the test.

Since the challenge hasn’t started, Lin Feng used this time to take a Soul Nourishing Pill and a Qi and Blood Pill to recover his state.

He wasn’t injured at the moment, so there’s no need for treatment. If his Soul Power and stamina were exhausted, he could apply for a break to recover.

"Since you’re all so modest, let me handle the second round."

The Celestial Kings looked at each other, and after a long period of silence, a voice suddenly spoke up.

The Celestial Kings all turned toward the speaker.

It was a middle-aged man, approximately in his forties, with a tall and refined build, dressed in a dark gray suit, featuring smooth, straight silver hair, a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and a unique melancholic charm.

Facing the gaze of the Celestial Kings, he wore a faint smile.

"Celestial King Kong rarely takes action."

Dream Celestial King said with a smile.

In previous debuts, Celestial King Kong rarely proposed tests, so today was quite rare.

"It’s rare to encounter such an interesting apostle, waiting any longer would be looked down upon."

Celestial King Kong said slowly.

The next moment, his slightly magnetic voice spread throughout the venue.

"The second round will be set by me. The challenge is called Cat and Mouse. The rules are simple: within half an hour, whoever first touches the opponent’s body with their hand is the winner. You can attack the opponent but cannot use barrier soul skills, nor Life Soul Possession."

As the words fell, thirty meters away from Lin Feng, a young man dressed in black with an ordinary appearance suddenly appeared in his sight, as if he had stepped out from space.

This scene seemed familiar.

"Kong Feng!"

Lin Feng muttered, a flash of coldness in his eyes.

Two years ago, he had been assassinated, and if nothing unexpected, it was by this man in front of him, the aura felt very similar.

This Kong Feng was well-known; while his Middle Rank Spirit King power wasn’t the strongest among apostles, he was notoriously difficult to deal with.

He had refined the Illusion Demon Spirit, ranked ninth on the Exotic Beast Chart.

The talent ability of this demon spirit is called the Void Gate.

A demon spirit master who refines this demon spirit can open a small space gate for travel, using a tool medium.

This ability is a support skill with no attack power, yet it’s hard to guard against.

Kong Feng was clearly aware of his own weakness, so he refined a second demon spirit, although the type was unknown, it excelled in curse attacks; once touched, the opponent almost has no ability to fight back.

At the time, Kong Feng, in cooperation with an Emperor, used a tool-person to open the Space Gate and attempt an assassination on Lin Feng. Had it not been for absorbing the "Stand" soul skill, he would’ve certainly died.

"Your arm has grown back?"

Lin Feng asked in a seemingly concerned manner.

Back then, Kong Feng failed the assassination, and Yun Tianqi severed one of his arms; now both his hands were intact.

Kong Feng didn’t reply, his eyes only grew colder.

Back then, enticed by the Divine Martial Continent’s sky-high bounty, he plotted the assassination of Lin Feng, but not only did he fail, he got an arm cut off.

This event was a humiliation to him, often mocked and ridiculed by other apostles.

Although his right arm was regenerated under the Fate Celestial King’s treatment, seeking the Fate Celestial King’s help cost him dearly, and the new arm wasn’t as nimble and strong as the original.

At this moment, Celestial King Kong’s voice continued to echo in the venue: "Prize is a Water Infant Fruit."

As he spoke, Celestial King Kong’s right hand conjured a dark blue fruit from thin air.

The fruit looked mysterious, about the size of a fist, but it had short limbs, a head shaped like a peach, and exuded a faint mist all around it, occasionally retracting into the chest area of the fruit as if absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power with each heartbeat.

As they gazed at the fruit, a glint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Celestial Kings; Celestial King Hai even exclaimed: "You all are indeed getting more generous."

The Water Infant Fruit, a top-level water attribute spirit fruit, is suitable for cultivators of any attribute, possessing the effect of Washing Marrow, best for those with a water attribute.

This kind of top-level spirit fruit is ephemeral, never owned, much less eaten by him.

Though now an extraordinary powerhouse, eating the fruit would still bring significant benefits, not only enhancing water attribute affinity but also prolonging lifespan by two or three years, that’s no problem.
