Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 125: Dim and Lackluster


Silence.

It's truly silent.

It's hard to imagine that the Martial Arts Arena with over a hundred thousand people would be this quiet at this moment.

From the moment the Throne Challenge began, the arena had been covered in all kinds of noise.

As the competition progressed, the atmosphere became increasingly fervent.

Every time an exciting battle or a dazzling talent skill appeared between the opposing parties, it would erupt into cheers that made everyone boil with excitement, but no one expected the thunderous cheers from a second ago to come to an abrupt stop.

"Pfft!"

"Hiss..."

Among the audience, many spectators were drinking beverages while watching the match, but now they were spurting them out, followed by a series of gasps.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root!"

Everyone fixed their eyes on the figure emitting golden light in the light curtain, their faces full of disbelief, even their gazes slightly dazed.

Isn't this the annual freshman challenge?

Aren't freshmen supposed to be rookies?

Even if they are exceptionally talented and have refined Advanced Demon Spirits, isn't it difficult to fully showcase their power due to the scarcity of Soul Power?

Then why is there such a powerful talent skill appearing?

Moreover, isn't the Golden Lion King's talent skill 'Golden Transformation'? Isn't the effect of Golden Transformation to metalize the entire body?

Not just the audience, even the participants fiercely competing for seats quickly backed away from Yun Kai, putting some distance between them, yet they couldn't help but glance at him.

At this moment, the swords hanging in mid-air and the blood were all confined and restrained by a mysterious force, even the three attacking Yun Kai couldn't move, their eyes filled with horror and pain.

"Clang"

With a clanging sound, the sword fell to the ground, blood dripped, and the three who were confined instantly regained their freedom.

"Ah!"

With the restraint lifted, the next second a series of shrill screams rang out continuously.

The screams that seemed like a Thousand Cuts made people's scalps tingle and their entire body covered in goosebumps.

Those who could still stay in the Martial Arts Arena are one in a hundred geniuses, truly the pride of the heavens, but for those just stepping into university life, they've never experienced such pain, many were directly fainted from the pain.

"So miserable!"

"So painful, won't they die from pain!"

"They bled so much, how many Qi and Blood Pills would be needed to recover?"

Staring at the tragic scenes, many people's faces turned a bit pale, a chill in their hearts.

They looked at each other, then turned their gaze towards the main stage.

To directly restrain many people at a distance of over a hundred meters, if not using Demon Spirit Skills, only a Ninth Grade powerhouse could achieve it.

Earlier it was evident that Bu Zheng had acted; he clearly discovered it, could confine all the swords, but chose only to restrain the swords aimed at vital parts, ignoring the rest.

As Bu Zheng said, this is a challenge match where you won't die, but closely simulates real combat.

For the freshmen, blood and pain are the best baptism.

With mentors protecting them, no accidents will happen, such a baptism opportunity is extremely rare.

The screams continued for a while, as the screams turned from high-pitched to weakened, then broke intermittently, a red figure finally appeared slowly in front of everyone.

It was obvious; he did it on purpose!

"Shut up, none hit the vital points, you won't die."

The middle-aged man in the red robe appeared calm in the face of the scene, showing some impatience as he said.

His right hand stretched out, a bright red flower bloomed in the palm, releasing a red liquid, as he continuously pulled out the swords, under the coverage of the red liquid, the previously bloody wounds quickly healed....

"So strong!"

Not far from Yun Kai, Deng Chen and Ye Ming were besieging Bai Ji.

As a Poison Beast Master, Bai Ji might be alone but possesses the strength to challenge for the First Throne, his presence is a big threat to both, thus they temporarily cooperated intending to kick him out first, but at this moment all three parties stopped their attacks, eyes slightly shocked looking at Yun Kai.

At this moment, even the three who were confident and proud felt a bit downcast and envious, even jealous.

"He's the real monster!"

Bai Ji looked at Yun Kai and silently spoke in his heart.

Bai Ji and Yun Kai had somewhat similar experiences, both growing up under the strange and loathing gazes of others. But fortunately, Bai Ji had shown extraordinary talent from a young age. He was a genius in the eyes of his tribe. Although classmates were wary of him and feared him, no one dared to humiliate or bully him.

He was called a monster, but at this moment, he felt that Yun Kai was the true monster.

A monster inheriting an extraordinary bloodline.

"That was close! Thank goodness I'm smart!"

In the fierce battle, Bai Lin's snake tail slightly swung as he was covered in scars, feeling a lingering fear. Initially, he was somewhat angry, but now he felt fortunate.

Luckily, he didn't choose to fight Yun Kai to the death, or else he would have been the one turning into a 'porcupine'.

"What a spectacular Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root!"

On the podium, many mentors suddenly stood up in astonishment.

For the mentors, each year's Throne Challenge was a grand event.

On this day, they could witness various rare Demon Spirit talents and even bloodline talents. However, because the freshmen's strength was still weak, even if they refined an Advanced Demon Spirit, they could not truly show its power and effect. But no one expected that Yun Kai, while displaying the rare and powerful talent skill of 'Golden Transformation', could also perform 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root!'

Perhaps describing it as Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root is exaggerated, seeing as Yun Kai controlled only a little over ten swords, far from ten thousand. But considering Yun Kai's strength was only at Body Cultivator Ninth Rank, he had not yet broken through to a Martial Artist, and it had been less than half a year since he refined a Demon Spirit, this was indeed terrifying.

As long as Yun Kai does not fall, who can guarantee that he cannot achieve a true Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root!

"The talent ability of the Golden Lion King is 'Golden Transformation', the effect of which is the entire body turning metallic. Although when the Demon Spirit grows to Middle Grade it gains the ability to control metal, Yun Kai just refined it less than half a year ago, it should be impossible to reach this step!"

"Has he absorbed his first Soul Skill?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. He just refined the Demon Spirit, and his Soul Power is severely overdrawn and pitifully little, even an Earth Chart Demon Spirit would be very weak right now. How could it be easy to absorb a Soul Skill? At least another year is needed, not to mention that soul skills that control metal are extremely rare, and certainly not something that a Body Cultivator Ninth Rank rookie could absorb!"

Many mentors discussed in confusion, the talent ability effect Yun Kai demonstrated already far surpassed Golden Transformation.

"Dean Bu, what do you think?" a mentor asked.

As the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, Bu Zheng is a Ninth Grade expert.

He has been at this level for ten years, only a step away from becoming a Martial King, and he is well-informed and might know something.

Under the curious eyes of many mentors, Bu Zheng appeared very calm, but his tone carried a hint of admiration: "Ancestral Demonization! An extraordinary powerhouse's inherited bloodline talent amplified the effect of the Demon Spirit several times."

Bu Zheng said calmly.

At this moment, he finally understood the preciousness of Ancestral Demonization.

Martial Arts is divided into Nine Grades.

Above the Ninth Grade is Martial King.

Martial Kings are also honored as Guardians, possessing the strength and qualification to protect a city.

And above Martial King is Extraordinary.

Extraordinary powerhouses, even without refining a Demon Spirit, have the power to change the world. As the ultimate power of a nation, each of them holds a revered status, admired by people all over the country.

Extraordinary powerhouses are very strong. Those who can elementalize their entire body have almost transcended the human category.

But even so, not every Extraordinary powerhouse can pass on their bloodline talent to their descendants. Those who accomplish this are also the top existences among the Extraordinary.

The inherited bloodline talent of an Extraordinary powerhouse is also called bloodline inheritance.

And Ancestral Demonization is inheriting the Demon Spirit talent of an Extraordinary powerhouse, far more precious than bloodline inheritance.

Though the Bloodline Race is rare, there are dozens of people like Red Cloud, but for Ancestral Demonization, only Yun Kai possesses it.

It is precisely by relying on the amplification of Ancestral Demonization that Yun Kai can control metal.

Although Yun Kai's "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root" seems to awaken another talent ability, it essentially belongs to the same ability, which is the ability to control metal, just with a different attack method.

"I see, truly enviable!"

Upon hearing Bu Zheng's explanation, many mentors sighed and shook their heads, eyes showing undisguised envy.

However, this kind of talent is truly beyond envy.

For others, a lifetime of hard work and pursuit is, for Yun Kai, an innate talent!

How can one compare!

How dare one compare!

No wonder he is one of the most anticipated rookies by the Glory Professional Alliance!

His future is destined to be brilliant.

In this brilliant light, many people turned their gaze to another place, where Lin Feng, who had the greatest reputation among the freshmen and had not yet refined his Demon Spirit, seemed somewhat dim amidst the crowd's attacks.
