Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 209: First Summon


When Lin Feng returned to the front of Yun Kai and the others, they greeted him with expectant looks.

At this moment, in the Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact in Yue Mingming's hand, the Void Bird had disappeared, whereas the Flood Dragon Nether was still there. Clearly, between the two demon spirits, Yue Mingming chose to absorb the Void Bird first.

The Void Bird's innate skill is [Dimension Summon]. If successfully absorbed, it can summon creatures from different dimensions.

Little Sister Dong leaped up from the sofa and couldn't wait to ask, "Did it succeed?"

"Yes, it succeeded." Yue Mingming nodded in response.

"It really succeeded!"

Dong Xiaohao's small face bloomed with a smile, expressing surprise, but soon looked at Yue Mingming with some suspicion and asked, "If it succeeded, why the expression?"

Success should mean happiness, excitement, and thrill, right?

Moreover, Yue Mingming had been anticipating this day for four years. Now, the happiness and excitement were evident, but why was there also a hint of sadness?

Why such a complicated expression?

His eyes were slightly red, as if he had cried.

What happened between the two of them in the room?

Little Sister Dong began her speculations, after all, Yue Mingming had left them to absorb the soul skill, which was a bit mysterious.

There must be something going on!

Dong Yunan and Yun Kai knew Yue Mingming's secret, and although somewhat puzzled, they thought it was Lin Feng's way to keep Yue Mingming's secret, so they didn't pay much attention. But Yu Qiao was somewhat stunned.

From Lin Feng's words, he knew Yue Mingming was a Summoner. But due to some special circumstances, he couldn't sign a contract with a Demon Beast, and spatial soul skills were extremely rare and precious. Yue Mingming had never absorbed a soul skill before.

Now, he had absorbed his first soul skill.

Although he had the advantage of a Space Attribute demon spirit, the chance of failure was also high, higher than selecting other soul skills.

Otherwise, there would be no need to have both the Void Bird and the Flood Dragon Nether. The two were meant as a backup to increase the success rate.

Although these two demon spirits had different names for their soul skills, the effect of the soul skills was the same: both enhanced summoning ability.

"Absorbing a Purple Gold soul skill as the first soul skill, and succeeding in one try—this luck is just too good."

Yu Qiao was somewhat skeptical.

He felt that Lin Feng and the others were hiding something from him.

Of course, Yu Qiao also knew that because spatial soul skills are rare and mysterious, they generally start at the Purple Gold level.

If it were other professionals, absorbing a Purple Gold soul skill as the first soul skill would probably cause a national sensation.

After all, no one had ever done it.

"Could he really be a genius?"

A thought flashed in Yu Qiao's mind: "But if he's a genius, why can't he summon?"

Yue Mingming pushed away Little Sister Dong's probing head and rolled his eyes dramatically:

"After keeping a low profile for so long, we're finally about to take off. Isn't it too exciting to handle?"

As he said this, Yue Mingming's gaze casually glanced at Lin Feng, whose expression was very calm.

Lin Feng hadn't mentioned keeping it a secret, but Yue Mingming knew he had to keep his mouth shut.

For any Demon Spirit Master, soul skills are the most important, as they concern future development directions and potential. A good soul skill can even cause an originally ordinary demon spirit to undergo transformation.

There are many such examples.

If people found out, it might bring danger to Lin Feng.

Even though Yun Kai and Dong Yunan could be trusted, Lin Feng had never demonstrated this bloodline gift to them, yet the newly joined him received this special treatment.

Even though Lin Feng had his reasons, believing he could change the world, that was just Lin Feng's thought. Currently, he is still very weak, and others might not think so.

Favoritism could make people feel uncomfortable. Over time, even good brothers might develop rifts.

And for the team, this would be fatal, possibly even destroying it.

Yue Mingming thought of many things, even more than Lin Feng.

He didn't know if, in the future, Lin Feng would also help Yun Kai and Dong Yunan absorb extremely rare and precious soul skills that greatly aid strength improvement, but the number of times would surely not be many.

"You, a Summoner, can finally summon a Demon Beast. Can you sense the Divine Martial Continent?"

Little Sister Dong curiously asked.

The world that a Summoner first communicates with doesn't necessarily have to be the Divine Martial Continent; it could also be Earth. The Demon Beasts outside the Base City could also form contracts with Summoners to be summoned for combat support.

"I can, want to try it now?"

Having absorbed the soul skill, Yue Mingming was eager to give it a try.

Since refining this mysterious demon spirit, he had been looking forward to this day.

The team would set off for Shanghai tomorrow, and finding a suitable Demon Beast to sign a contract with before leaving was, of course, ideal.

"Hurry up and try it, let us witness this sacred moment. From today onwards, I bestow upon you the title of Summoner."

Little Sister Dong waved her little hand, a bit childishly.

Everyone was very expectant, Lin Feng included. He also wanted to see what Yue Mingming could summon from the Divine Martial Continent.

It was known that, when Yue Mingming had not yet absorbed the soul skill, he could connect to the Exotic World. That connection distance was probably tens or even hundreds of times farther than the Divine Martial Continent.

Amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, Yue Mingming felt a surge of emotions. It took him a while to calm down his feelings. He stood in place, closed his eyes, and his Soul Sea slightly trembled as he quickly performed Demon Possession.

Once possessed by the Demon Spirit, Yue Mingming's appearance didn't change much, only that his body seemed to become illusory. Although he stood right before them, just two or three meters away, he gave off an impression of being far in the distance, as if beyond reach.

Not only did Yue Mingming become illusory, but even the space before him rippled, distorted, and eventually manifested into an irregular, fragmented Space Gate, accompanied by a mysterious, chaotic, cold aura that surged out from within.

Under this fluctuation, Yun Kai and the others found their bodies slightly tense.

Summoner, connecting and bridging another world, the Power of Space, such powers likely remain beyond even Emperor Level experts.

Lin Feng had experienced this power before. Two years ago, as the first prize in the King's Challenge Tournament, he entered the Demon Spirit Realm, facilitated by the summoner and the array, enabling space traversal.

"I wonder if one day, when Yue Mingming grows, will he be able to traverse space between the two worlds?"

Lin Feng had a fleeting thought.

He knew some Diamond Soul Skills and certain summoners could freely traverse specific spaces, yet he never heard of anyone capable of traversing between two distinct worlds, like Earth and the Divine Martial Continent.

It's uncertain if Yue Mingming can achieve this in the future, especially since the Demon Spirit he absorbed is so unique and mysterious.

"Such a strong aura!"

Yu Qiao whispered, his originally nonchalant gaze transforming into surprise.

Initially, he thought Yue Mingming, having just absorbed his first Soul Skill, wouldn't be able to summon any powerful creature. After all, it was his first summoning. But now, considering the commotion and fluctuation, it seemed excessively powerful.

Yu Qiao had encountered summoners before and even fought them, yet the commotion and energy fluctuation never felt so immense.

It felt somewhat eerie.

To be known, the summoner he faced back then had refined a Ninth Grade Demon Spirit, and the spirit had grown to Fifth Grade, absorbing four Soul Skills, summoning a Fifth Grade Demon Beast!

Compared to him, Yu Qiao wasn't even on the same level.

Could it be that Yu Qiao refined an Earth Chart Demon Spirit?

"Powerful indeed."

Compared to Yu Qiao's surprise, Lin Feng and the others remained composed; only they understood the profound mystery of the Demon Spirit Yue Mingming refined.

Linking more distant, mysterious Exotic Worlds, now merely connecting the Divine Martial Continent, wasn't a larger commotion normal?

Yue Mingming stood in place for ten minutes, without any reaction. Though close, Lin Feng couldn't discern his expression, and the few patiently waited, refraining from idle chatter, afraid of disturbing him.

The summoner's initial demon beast summoning demands connecting to the Divine Martial Continent, searching for a suitable demon beast, and forming a contract, consuming a substantial amount of Soul Power.

Some summoners spend ten days to two weeks summoning their first creature.

Moreover, the first creature summoned is often weak, typically small animals like birds.

After half an hour, Yue Mingming's body slightly trembled, Lin Feng and the others' gazes shifted, something seemed to be approaching through the fragmented Space Gate.

A rustling sound appeared, tentacles emerging first through the Space Gate, followed by a two-meter tall, pitch-black, squid-like creature coming into view.

The creature's appearance caused Lin Feng and the others' expressions to change, leading them to simultaneously retreat.

This creature, floating mid-air like a giant squid, instinctively approached its principal summoner, Yue Mingming, emitting a strange howl as if fearing the unfamiliar environment.

Meanwhile, its hundreds of constantly waving tentacles began dripping black fluid.

"Tentacle Monster."

Seeing the dripping slime corroding the ground into a pit, Lin Feng found it hard to believe.

A Fifth Grade Tentacle Monster, though a Fifth Grade Demon Beast, carried significant fame.

Although it seemed harmless, with a large head and somewhat vacant blue eyes, prolonged gazing might even evoke cuteness.

But to believe that would be tragic.

The Tentacle Monster is extremely dangerous; its tentacles are highly toxic. In times of danger, they release smoke-like gas, obstructing the enemy's view while inflicting dizziness and simultaneously flailing its tentacles rapidly, spraying horrifying slime. A single contact would corrode the body, inducing excruciating pain.

Once touched by this venom, one never forgets. According to those who endured it, the sensation is akin to having joints pried apart, every piece of flesh undergoing dismembering agony, like soaking in sulfuric acid...

Due to its lethal pain, this toxin is often collected, treated as an instrument for coercive interrogation, with some tortured to death.

It ranks second on the list of the ten most painful demon beasts.

Even the strongest of men would recoil at such a feeling.

Fortunately, Tentacle Monsters are exceedingly rare; Earth has none, and even the Divine Martial Continent seldom encounters them.

"How about it, do you like my treasure?"

Judging by everyone's expressions, Yue Mingming patted the slightly adorable large head, boasting confidently.

"Perverse."

Yu Qiao couldn't help but say.

Others typically summon small creatures for the first time; summoning a demon beast is already impressive. Who ever summoned a Fifth Grade Demon Beast on their first try?

Especially one as fear-inducing as a Tentacle Monster.

Aside from perverse, no other adjectives came to his mind.

"Perhaps one day, you'll truly astonish the world," Lin Feng thought to himself, admiring the somewhat smug Yue Mingming.

He knew he placed the right bet.

Yue Mingming might indeed change the world.
