After confirming that he had completely memorized the Dragonfish Transformation, Linfeng closed the jade scroll in his hand.
After reading it twice, the glow on the surface of the jade scroll had dimmed significantly. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to use it after reading it once or twice more.
Furthermore, this was a recording made by a Martial Emperor of a foreign race. It could last up to a hundred times. If it had been made by an ordinary Martial King, he would only be able to read it three or four times.
Roar!
Suddenly, a strange roar rang out, reverberating in the secret room. The voice was filled with madness, brutality, and cold killing intent.
"Damn it!"
Linfeng hurriedly exited the Demon Transformation state. The colorful world in front of him returned to normal.
At this moment, Linfeng's face was pale. This was the aftereffect of using the Incubus and devouring his mental energy and blood.
"It can actually speak!"
Linfeng's eyes were filled with shock and unease.
Before the Incubus had been refined, its mental energy would become very strong when night fell, especially in the early hours of the night. It would often roar and roar throughout the night, causing Linfeng to be unable to sleep.
However, after being refined, the Incubus still retained its consciousness, but it was clearly much more obedient.
Although it would go crazy for no reason every ten days or half a month, it rarely happened during the day. Furthermore, under the Demon Spirit's possession and Demon Transformation state, the Incubus would be suppressed and unable to speak.
Today was the first time the Incubus had spoken while in Demon Transformation state!
"Is it that thirsty?"
Linfeng couldn't help but curse when he felt the Incubus' desire for his body when he exited the Demon Transformation state.
Although the Demon Spirit's possession only lasted for a short ten minutes, Linfeng could clearly feel that as his mental energy and blood were being devoured, even his body had become more compatible with the Incubus.
This was a very strange feeling!
It was as if he could make better use of the Incubus's abilities, and correspondingly, the Incubus was more compatible with his body.
This compatibility might be the reason why the Incubus could speak.
"Has the Incubus become stronger, or is it the aftereffect of Demon Transformation?"
Linfeng guessed.
If he was in the Demon Transformation state, the Incubus would be more compatible with his body. If there wasn't a strong need, or if his life was in danger, Linfeng would strictly control the chances of the Incubus possessing him.
"Ye Qiu's diary didn't mention anything like that?"
Linfeng frowned slightly. The Incubus was now completely blood-red. It was clearly different from when it was refined by Ye Qiu.
He didn't know if today's situation was the aftereffect of using the 'Evil Sealing Seal' to assimilate his blood.
His originally good mood instantly turned into a little bad.
Although the innate ability of the Incubus could be said to be heaven-defying, it was obvious that the price to use it was high.
It wasn't just the depletion of his mental power and life force, but the Nightmare Lord wanted his body!
Unforgivable!
Helpless against this evil spirit, Linfeng could only stop thinking about it. Since the King of Nightmares had become stronger, then he would let him become stronger far faster than the King of Nightmares!
"My body temperature seems to have dropped?"
Linfeng felt that his body temperature had dropped by two to three degrees. At this moment, he had already exited the Demon Transformation state. At the same time, he stopped the circulation of the [Dragonfish Transformation] and his arms returned to normal.
Obviously, this was a change brought about by the first transformation of the [Dragonfish Transformation].
The drop in body temperature didn't bring about any abnormalities to his body. Instead, it made his mind clearer.
There was only an hour to choose a soul cultivation technique. Obviously, this wasn't the time to observe the changes in his body.
When Linfeng walked out of the secret room, there were only three people in the study room. Ye Ming, Yun Lin, and Sun Ning.
Linfeng remembered Sun Ning. He was the youth who had refined the shadow puppet. During the Ten Thousand Seats Challenge, he used the shadow puppet to launch a sneak attack and almost eliminated Yunkai.
At this moment, the three of them were standing in front of the bookshelf, choosing cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques.
"Failed!"
Linfeng's appearance attracted the attention of the three of them. A thought flashed through their minds.
It wasn't easy to memorize a soul cultivation technique that was above the eighth grade in a short 20 minutes.
Not to mention, the [Dragonfish Transformation] was an unimproved foreign cultivation technique.
In their opinion, Linfeng was asking for trouble and was very foolish.
Perhaps it was because he was sitting on the first throne and had broken through to the second grade that made him arrogant.
However, he had given up on his rationality and didn't let it get to his head.
"Why aren't you continuing with your cultivation?"
Ye Ming looked at Linfeng and said in his heart. He felt that it was a pity.
He couldn't wait for Linfeng to learn the [Dragonfish Transformation]. At that time, he would have one less strong opponent.
Because of Linfeng, he didn't have the chance to sit on the first throne. He didn't even have the chance to be in the top five!
As a Rank 1 Martial Artist who had refined an Earth Ranking demon spirit, with his talent and strength, he should be the center of attention. However, with the appearance of Linfeng and Yunkai, he had become a foil and was dispensable.
Not only Ye Ming, but many others had the same thought.
It had nothing to do with conflict. It was just that Linfeng's existence was too dazzling, causing them to appear dull.
Linfeng didn't notice the complicated gazes of Ye Ming and the other two. He went straight to the water attribute bookshelf and continued to choose cultivation techniques.
During his time in university, he had already grasped enough martial arts techniques.
Although the [Dragonfish Transformation] could theoretically allow one to transform into a dragon, it had a high requirement for one's physical strength. Therefore, it would be beneficial to cultivate a few more body-refining techniques.
There were nine grades of martial arts. The first grade was Channel Opening, the fourth grade was Body Refining, and the fourth grade was Qi Refining.
After reaching the sixth grade of the Divine Fist Realm, one would be able to perform the Hundred Steps Divine Fist, which was powerful in long-distance combat.
Furthermore, after reaching the sixth grade, one's spiritual energy could be used in conjunction with various martial arts techniques. Therefore, many martial artists no longer paid attention to body-refining. Some even gave up on it and focused on qi refining.
Spiritual energy could also strengthen the body, so there was no need for body-refining.
However, in Linfeng's opinion, the body was the foundation of martial arts.
If one's body was strong enough, one could break through all techniques!
"Is he crazy?"
Under the astonished gazes of Ye Ming and the other two, Linfeng picked and chose from the bookshelf. The precious soul cultivation techniques in his hands were like snacks in the supermarket. Soon, he carried seven to eight jade slips into the secret chamber.
What was this operation?
Ye Ming was at a loss.
One soul cultivation technique was enough for them to memorize. Moreover, they could only roughly memorize it. If they wanted to learn it, they would need a lot of trial and error.
Ye Ming was overconfident. He picked a powerful ninth grade cultivation technique, but because the circulation route was too complicated, he couldn't remember it. Therefore, he had to choose again.
To him, this was a waste of time. Therefore, he was even more careful when choosing the second cultivation technique. This was his last chance.
One cultivation technique was enough to drive them crazy. What was Linfeng doing with seven to eight of them?
Was he going to waste precious soul cultivation techniques?
"If Dean Bu knows about this, will Linfeng be beaten to death?" Ye Ming asked Yun Lin.
Yun Lin was also puzzled. In her opinion, Linfeng couldn't be so stupid.
"Didn't he already learn the cultivation technique? Maybe he is just using it as a reference?" Yun Lin explained. It seemed like this was the only explanation that made sense.
She didn't believe that Linfeng wanted to learn all of them.
Even if he was a demon, he couldn't do it.
"Linfeng is cultivating a thunder attribute cultivation technique, not a water attribute one."
Ye Ming had a thought in his mind, but he didn't think much about it.
No matter what, it had nothing to do with him.
In the secret chamber, Linfeng took out two crystal bottles. He poured out three Soul Nurturing Pills and three Blood Qi Pills and swallowed them. In the next moment, he entered the state of demon transformation.
After the colorful scene in front of him, Linfeng sat cross-legged on the floor. He picked one of the eight jade slips and opened it.
Soon, the light condensed and an old man appeared on top of the jade slip. Just like the Dragonfish Transformation, he was also explaining. His body turned transparent and the circulation path of the meridians in his body was clearly shown.
This was a human cultivation technique. The circulation path of the meridians didn't need to be modified. Hence, Linfeng could understand it very well. Under the possession of the incubus, he could see more clearly and understand more deeply.
But soon, he realized that something was amiss.
"The spiritual energy isn't circulating automatically in my meridians?"
Linfeng frowned.
When he was cultivating the Dragonfish Transformation, he didn't move at all. But the spiritual energy in his meridians seemed to be instinctive and circulated smoothly. It even automatically modified the circulation path to suit his meridians. But when he was reading the Mystic Yin Body Refinement Technique, the spiritual energy in his body didn't have any reaction. It didn't move at all, let alone circulate.
"Change to another one!"
Closing the jade slip, Linfeng opened the other three jade slips. Three minutes later, the results were the same. The spiritual energy in his body didn't move at all in the three cultivation techniques.
At this moment, Lin Feng clearly remembered the initial flow of spiritual power in these three books. However, remembering and learning were two different things. If he wanted to make it instinctive, he would need to spend a lot of time, and this time was measured in years.
If it was before, Linfeng would be happy to accept it because it was already very difficult.
But after enjoying the automatic circulation of the Dragonfish Transformation, Linfeng was naturally dissatisfied and couldn't accept it.
One was five minutes, while the other was more than a year.
The difference was like heaven and earth!
"Is it because I overused the incubus' innate ability?" Linfeng frowned and guessed.
But it didn't seem like it. At this moment, his demon transformation state was no different from before.
"Difference?
What's the difference? "
Linfeng fell into deep thought. Soon, he thought of the biggest difference. "A human cultivation technique and a foreign cultivation technique?"
The Dragonfish Transformation was a foreign cultivation technique and it hadn't been improved. It was a pure foreign cultivation technique!
Whereas the cultivation techniques he took this time were all human cultivation techniques. It was a cultivation technique that used the human's meridians as the circulation path.
This was the biggest difference.
Thinking of this, Linfeng didn't continue trying out the cultivation technique in his hands. He immediately exited the demon transformation state and opened the room door.
"You're out so quickly?"
At this moment, Ye Ming and Yun Lin were still choosing. When they saw Linfeng appearing and walking towards the 'Danger' bookshelf, they looked at each other in dismay and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
What was he up to again?
He carried a pile of cultivation techniques into the secret room and came out after a few minutes?
Are you here to play?
Do you know how precious this opportunity is?
"Foreign cultivation technique."
In front of the 'Danger' bookshelf, Linfeng quickly scanned the introduction of the jade slip.
Unimproved foreign cultivation techniques would only be stored in this bookshelf. Because it wasn't improved, it represented danger and the unknown.
"There are only five books?"
After choosing for a long time, Linfeng only picked out five books. As compared to the human cultivation techniques, the pure foreign cultivation techniques were pitifully little. There were only five books.
Furthermore, among these five books, three of them were fire attributed cultivation techniques, one was native attributed and the remaining one was a pure body tempering cultivation technique. There was no attribute requirement and it was called the 'Blood Tears'.
"Why are there so few?"
Linfeng was puzzled. But very quickly, Linfeng understood the reason.
Foreign cultivation techniques were originally snatched by the human race and there were very few of them. Not to mention rare soul cultivation techniques.
It was extremely difficult to snatch a soul cultivation technique from a foreign strong practitioner. If the foreign strong practitioner knew that he wasn't a match for them, he would absolutely destroy the cultivation technique before he died. He would absolutely not let the human race get hold of it and improve it to increase the human race's ability.
A valiant cultivation technique, if it was improved, there might not be much harm in a short period of time. But after decades or centuries, it could possibly create tens or hundreds of strong practitioners!
The importance of a cultivation technique was self-evident. It was ten times more precious than a martial skill.
The mysterious guard from before, in order to return to his homeland, had analyzed and improved foreign cultivation techniques and martial skills for the human race. If this was known by the foreign race, his fate would have been even more miserable.
These soul cultivation techniques should have been passed down to their descendants by the foreign strong practitioner and then obtained by the human race by luck.
Of course, it was also possible that they had obtained them through other means, but Linfeng didn't know.
Holding the non-attributed 'Blood Tears' cultivation technique, Linfeng once again returned to the secret room, leaving the two speechless looking at his back.
After returning to the secret room, Linfeng couldn't wait to confirm his guess. He also ate three Soul Nurturing Pills and Qi Blood Pills before opening the jade slip in his hand. Finally, he was possessed by the Nightmare Demon.
Under the possession of the Nightmare Demon, the light above the jade slip condensed. This time, another foreign man appeared. It was a light shadow of a middle-aged man. The man had long red hair and was half-naked. He had thick eyebrows and a square face. He looked extremely mighty and his body was like a giant. His whole body emitted a scorching aura. "My name is Red Devil, the creator of 'Blood Tears'. This cultivation technique has no attribute and walks the path of pure body refinement. Therefore, there is no limit and no level. If you are not talented, you are not qualified to cultivate this cultivation technique. First level of 'Blood Tears' …"
As the Blood Devil finished his demonstration and introduction, his giant-like body gradually became transparent. A dense map of the cultivation technique appeared. At this moment, Linfeng's mind was highly concentrated …
"As expected, only a pure foreign cultivation technique can be automatically activated!"
When the spiritual power in his body automatically activated and began to improve along the meridians, Linfeng's face revealed a trace of a smile, confirming his guess.
Five minutes later, Linfeng felt that the Qi Blood Pills in his body had been completely digested. The Blood Essence that had accumulated in his body after the Demon Blood Pool baptism yesterday was rapidly fusing into his body.
Unlike the first level of 'Dragonfish Transformation', 'Blood Tears' stopped abruptly halfway through, as if it couldn't continue.
"It seems that I haven't opened enough meridians. Even if it automatically improves, it can't be helped!"
Linfeng thought to himself.
Different meridians strengthened different parts of the body and could give different abilities.
For example, Linfeng was now in the Second Rank Skin Refining Realm. He had opened thirteen meridians. Although these thirteen meridians covered the entire body, they mainly passed through the surface of the skin and strengthened the skin.
The first level of 'Blood Tears' might strengthen the body in a different direction, so Linfeng couldn't fully activate it. Perhaps when he opened a few more meridians or broke through to the Third Rank, he would be able to fully activate the first level.
Although he had only activated half of it, Linfeng was already very satisfied.
He clenched his fist slightly. There weren't any obvious changes to his body, but his Qi and blood were clearly more abundant. Whether it was his strength or other attributes, they were clearly strengthened!
After completely recording 'Blood Tears' in the sea, Linfeng exited the Demon Transformation state. At this moment, his mental power was severely overdrawn, and waves of piercing pain came from his mind.
Fortunately, 'Blood Tears' had digested the Blood Essence that had accumulated in his body, so his face wasn't as pale as before.
"Only a foreign cultivation technique can automatically activate. The appearance of a Mutant caused the Incubus's emotions to become violent."
Linfeng confirmed his previous guess.
The Incubus was definitely related to the Mutants!
If he wanted to know the secret of the Incubus, perhaps he could capture a Mutant and ask …
