After a slight dizziness, a suction force appeared in front of Linfeng. It was a mysterious world.
This world didn't have any sun, moon, or stars. There was no sky or earth. There wasn't even any flowers or plants.
Everything was colorful, and the feeling of the soles of his feet was as if he was stepping on a rubber track full of elasticity.
Linfeng stood in his original position, looking around. It was as if he was in a colourful bubble. However, this bubble was so huge that he couldn't see the boundaries.
The world in front of him was extremely gorgeous and dreamy. However, it was a little oppressive, giving people a feeling that there was no life.
"So this is the Demon Spirit Realm!"
Linfeng's eyes lit up. This was his first time entering the Demon Spirit Realm.
This kind of treatment of a peerless genius, he never had it in his previous life.
Without the talent to become a Demon Spiritualist, not to mention enjoying this kind of treatment, it was impossible for him to even come in contact with it.
Because of his habit, Linfeng didn't immerse himself in this dreamy world. Instead, he observed his surroundings. Aside from demon spirits, there were only demon spirits. There wasn't even a single demon beast, not to mention the foreign race that Bu Zheng mentioned.
However, it's also true. Even in Hongyun University, only one person can enter the Demon Spirit Realm every year.
This is also the reason why everyone wants to sit on the first throne in the Throne Challenge Tournament.
Entering the Demon Spirit Realm, this kind of treatment is extremely precious. Those who can enjoy this kind of treatment are even rarer. However, this isn't a secret.
Linfeng knows that the other two Hero Academy also have summoners that can enter the Demon Spirit Realm through the Space Array.
Among the Nine Elite Universities, three of them can also enter.
However, no matter which university it is, it's the same as Hongyun University. It's only limited to the number one freshman.
Five days ago, in Maleficent University's Carp Dragon Gate Challenge Tournament, Qi Wu, who got first place, also entered the Demon Spirit Realm and absorbed a silver soul skill. As for what soul skill it is, it's a secret.
Generally speaking, if it's not a teammate, a Demon Spiritualist wouldn't let others know about their soul skill.
Two days ago, Ye Qiu, who had obtained the first step in the Great Wall University's ranking battle, had also entered the Demon Spirit World and absorbed a gold-colored soul skill. This caused a sensation throughout the country.
After absorbing a demon spirit for half a year, he was able to absorb a Gold rank Soul Skill from a mere First Grade demon spirit. No wonder he's a peerless genius that can refine the 17th ranked Bramble Demonic Dragon.
Many Demon Spiritualists are unable to refine a Gold rank soul skill in their lifetime. Ye Qiu's talent in soul cultivation is indeed frightening, causing others to be envious of him. Just like Qi Wu, people only know that Ye Qiu absorbed a Gold rank soul skill. As for what it is and what effect it has, it's a secret.
In addition to the universities, some large financial groups and the Glory of Glory clan could also enter the Spirit Demon World. However, they would deliberately stagger their entry times to avoid being discovered by other races.
This was a mystic realm specially created by the non-humankind, and only the geniuses of the non-humankind were qualified to enter.
With regards to Bu Zheng's stern warning, Linfeng remembered it in his heart. However, he wasn't too afraid. At this moment, not only was he not afraid, he was also looking forward to meeting the geniuses of the non-humankind.
At this stage, even if he's only refining a First Grade demon spirit and not absorbing a soul skill, Linfeng is still confident that he's invincible within the same realm. This is the confidence of being an Eighth Grade Grandmaster in his previous life.
Linfeng looked not far away. A large amount of light figures were like auroras, quickly flying past.
These aurora-like silhouettes were all demon spirits.
Aside from the colourful demon spirits, there's nothing else in the world in front of him.
This is a world that truly belongs to the demon spirits.
"The spiritual energy is so dense. It's at least three times that of Hongyun University. There's also the fluctuation of soul power."
Feeling the spiritual energy in this space, Linfeng sighed.
No wonder Dean Bu said that the Demon Spirit World is good for demon spirits. With such dense spiritual energy and soul power, it can completely make up for the loss of a demon spirit's energy.
In the splendid Aurora World, Lin Feng was like a bolt of lightning, speeding through this mysterious world. Streaks of light and shadow flew past him.
Whoosh …
Many demon spirits noticed the arrival of an uninvited guest. They quickly turned around and disappeared.
Linfeng only observed carefully and did not chase after them. He allowed the light figures to disappear because there's no demon spirit that he wants to absorb.
"They're all mid-grade and above demon spirits. Many of them have Gold Soul Skills!"
Not far away from Linfeng, dozens of demon spirits passed by. Linfeng recognised most of them. Although most of them are mid-grade demon spirits and their ranks aren't high, most of them have Gold Soul Skills.
In the outside world, they're treated as treasures. Even the geniuses of Hongyun University rarely have Gold Soul Skills. But here, they're like cabbages that can be seen everywhere.
There's even less demon spirits that have Silver Soul Skills compared to Gold Soul Skills.
It's no wonder that even though they know that entering the Demon Spirit World is dangerous and has a high mortality rate, no student would refuse such an opportunity.
Gold Soul Skills, many Demon Spiritualists won't have such a precious Soul Skill in their lifetime.
"The Arowana's innate ability is to spit out bubbles. The direction of cultivation is very simple, which is the strength and quantity of the bubbles.
As the strength grows, the strength of the bubbles will naturally increase. Therefore, the most important thing is quantity! "
Linfeng thought as he searched for the demon spirits.
Spitting bubbles is the innate ability of the Arowana. Although it has dual attributes of lightning and water, as well as explosive characteristics, the speed of the bubbles is slow, as slow as a snail. Its strength is pitifully weak. It can't even electrocute a bug. Therefore, it's not qualified to be called an innate Soul Skill.
No matter how powerful the explosion of a bubble is, it's attack speed is too slow and it can't move. Therefore, it's hard for it to cause any damage to the enemy. Even though Linfeng's strength has increased along with the evolution of the demon spirits, he can summon dozens of them. But because of their slow speed, as long as he dodges them in advance and doesn't enter the attack range, they won't be much of a threat to the enemy.
Only when a large number of bubbles explode at the same time, will it have true destructive power. If hundreds and thousands of bubbles explode at the same time, it'll cause a chain reaction and the enemy won't be able to escape.
"My first Soul Skill would be 'Doppelganger'!"
With regards to his first Soul Skill, Linfeng already has a clear target.
Doppelganger, when using this Soul Skill, it's able to summon an avatar that's similar to the original body.
With this Soul Skill, regardless of whether it's fighting or escaping, it's a godly skill.
There are many demon spirits that have the Doppelganger Innate Skill. Different demon spirits have different Soul Skills. The duration of the Doppelganger and the strength of the original body are also different.
Doppelganger can summon an avatar that's similar to the original body. Naturally, it can also create more bubbles to attack.
To every Demon Spiritualist, Doppelganger is a Soul Skill that they dream of.
A demon spirit that has the Doppelganger Innate Skill would cost at least a billion.
No matter what type of Doppelganger Innate Skill it is, regardless of its effect, it's all Purple Gold rank or even Diamond rank.
It's the same as Space Type Soul Skills, it's extremely rare.
In the market, it's simply priceless, and no one would sell it.
Demon spirits constantly shuttled in front of him. Seeing Linfeng's figure, these intelligent demon spirits would increase their speed and escape.
"This is simply a land of treasures."
Although he didn't find a demon spirit that has the Doppelganger Innate Skill, Linfeng encountered many Water and Lightning Type demon spirits. Some of them have pretty good Soul Skills.
They're all extremely rare and powerful Gold Soul Skills. Among them, there are also Soul Skills that are suitable for the Arowana to absorb, such as the Gold Soul Skill 'Fission'.
However, in Linfeng's opinion, refining a Gold Soul Skill in this land of treasures is extremely wasteful.
Of course, to others, a Gold Soul Skill is already extremely precious. For a demon spirit that's only at the First Grade, let alone a Gold Soul Skill, even a Silver Soul Skill would be considered a joke.
A Soul Cultivation genius like Ye Qiu is just an exception.
Linfeng constantly shuttled back and forth in the Demon Spirit World, seriously observing the colorful light figures, looking for the demon spirit that he's looking for. However, even in the Demon Spirit World, a demon spirit that has the Doppelganger Innate Skill is something that can only be encountered by chance.
Two hours later, Linfeng's physical strength was still fine, but his eyes were a little sore and uncomfortable.
"Eh, a Mirror Beast."
Just as Linfeng was about to take a break, his eyes suddenly lit up. Twenty meters away from him, amidst the rainbow-like aurora, a blue demon spirit instantly attracted Linfeng's attention.
It's a blue color that's unique to the Water Type. It's shaped like a mongoose, but its body has a mirror-like armor. It's a Rank Seven demon spirit, the Mirror Beast.
The Mirror Beast is a Water Type Demonic Beast. It has the innate skill 'Mirror Image', which has the same effect as the Doppelganger Innate Skill.
If Linfeng absorbed the Mirror Image soul skill, the Arowana's Innate Skill would be able to create more bubbles, but it wouldn't be able to summon a doppelganger.
This is the main difference between the two.
This soul skill is also a Purple Gold Soul Skill.
It's also a Purple Gold Soul Skill, but because it can't create an External Avatar, it's not as precious as the Doppelganger Innate Skill. Even among Purple Gold Soul Skills, the Mirror Image soul skill is considered a high-level one.
"Chi!"
Silver lightning flashed beneath Linfeng's feet, and a faint 'chi chi' sound could be heard. More than ten meters away, a figure suddenly appeared amidst a large number of colorful lights. The arrival of an uninvited guest clearly frightened these demon spirits. They all quickly fled as if they were avoiding a snake or a scorpion.
"Still want to run?!"
The dark blue figure escaped at an extremely fast speed. It was like a blue bolt of lightning as it flew past Linfeng.
This speed surprised Linfeng.
Facing danger, the speed of these demon spirits fleeing was completely different from half a year ago on the Day of Awakening.
It was like the difference between a bicycle and a motorcycle.
If the demon spirits had such speed on the Day of Awakening, there wouldn't be many people who could catch them.
After the initial shock, Lin Feng quickly came to his senses. The demon spirits on the day of his awakening were all suppressed by the Blue Moon divine tool and gravity. Therefore, compared to the demon spirits here, the demon spirits on the day of their awakening were much weaker in terms of reaction speed, flying speed, and refining.
Because of this, the difficulty of finding a suitable demon spirit would be much higher.
The speed of the Mirror Image Beast was very fast. It was even faster than Linfeng, who could execute the Rank 3 Movement Technique, Lightning Steps.
However, it was clear that although this demon spirit had intelligence, its intelligence wasn't high. Silver light flashed beneath Linfeng's feet. His body flashed and appeared in the path of the Mirror Image Beast. After flashing four times, the demon spirit charged towards Linfeng. When it realised that it was too late to stop, it was caught by Linfeng.
"Do you want to refine it?"
The illusory demon spirit was constantly struggling in Linfeng's hand. It felt like he was pinching cotton candy. However, this blue 'cotton candy' was emitting an ice-cold chill.
'Mirror Image' was very rare and precious. This was without a doubt a soul skill that every Demon Spiritualist dreamed of. However, what Linfeng wanted to refine the most was' Doppelganger '.
In the future, he would definitely refine the 'Doppelganger' soul skill.
"Doppelganger must be refined. The effect of the Mirror Image and Doppelganger are duplicated. However, the duplicated effect is a stacking of power. It doesn't mean that it's bad."
"After refining this Mirror Image Beast, the Arowana will definitely become stronger. With the help of the Soul Nurturing Pill and the secret technique, it might be able to break through to Rank 2. At that time, it will be able to devour another demon spirit and absorb another soul skill."
Linfeng pondered for a moment and finally decided to refine the demon spirit.
Every Demon Spiritualist, even if they were to refine the same demon spirit, would have different training directions based on their own characteristics.
The main difference in the direction of cultivation was the different soul skills that they absorbed.
There are many Demon Spiritualists that specialise in refining the same type of soul skills.
A strength-type Demon Spiritualist can specialise in absorbing strength-type soul skills. For example, 'Berserk', 'Strengthen', 'Blood Burn', 'Ant's Strength' and other soul skills. These are all strength-type soul skills.
Because the soul skills absorbed are strength-type soul skills, the Demon Spiritualist's strength will naturally surpass other Demon Spiritualists. Their strength will even be several times stronger than other Demon Spiritualists. However, at the same time, because they don't have speed-type soul skills, their speed will definitely not be as fast as others. Furthermore, they only have strength-type attacks. Their attacks are too monotonous.
This training direction has both good and bad points.
Some Demon Spiritualists are very strong, while some are very useless.
As for martial arts geniuses, if they absorb the same type of strength-type soul skills, they can train their movement and martial techniques to make up for it. However, it will take a lot of time and effort.
However, to Linfeng, this isn't a problem.
Movement and martial techniques are one of his biggest advantages.
Linfeng sat cross-legged on the ground and slapped the demon spirit into his soul sea.
When the Mirror Image Beast entered the soul sea, before it could even struggle, it felt a terrifying aura. This aura isn't very strong, but it's extremely evil, bloody and ruthless, causing the Mirror Image Beast to tremble. When it discovered the existence of the Nightmare in the soul sea, it was so scared that it didn't dare to move.
"Indeed."
Linfeng was pleasantly surprised. Previously, he realised that when facing the Nightmare's aura, low-level demon spirits would be extremely afraid. Even if they were to be devoured, they wouldn't dare to resist.
He never thought that not only low-level demon spirits, even high-level Mirror Image Beasts would be like this in front of the Nightmare.
To Linfeng, this is obviously beneficial.
With the suppression of the Nightmare, Linfeng's success rate of refining the demon spirit will increase by several times.
If other Demon Spiritualists were to know about this, they would probably go crazy with envy.
To a Demon Spiritualist, a good soul skill is their life.
However, even if they obtain a good soul skill, it doesn't mean that they will be able to successfully refine it.
Many Demon Spiritualists, when they obtain a good soul skill, they will seal it in their Demon Sealing Soul Tool and not immediately absorb it.
They will wait until their Natal Demon Spirit is stronger, their physique is stronger, and the attribute of the demon spirit is more suitable for the soul skill to be absorbed. Only when all the conditions are met, will they truly refine and absorb it.
However, even if that's the case, it still doesn't guarantee success.
Devouring demon spirits and absorbing soul skills is a gamble. If you're lucky, you'll be overjoyed. If you fail, you'll end up with nothing.
In Hongyun University, some students would have to spend hundreds of millions to absorb a Gold Soul Skill. This is also the main reason why there aren't many students with Gold Soul Skills.
Gold Soul Skills aren't very rare. If they aren't very precious, their value would be in the tens of millions. At most, it would be in the tens of millions. It's just that there's a risk of failure.
It's possible to absorb it a few times, or even ten times without success.
Even if it's a Soul Cultivation genius like Ye Qiu, he can't guarantee that he'll be able to successfully absorb it.
The higher the rank of the soul skill, the lower the success rate of absorption.
Some Demon Spiritualists, because they don't have the support of their family, were able to absorb a Gold Soul Skill. However, because they failed a few times, some were even more worried about the risk of failure. Because of their lack of financial resources, for safety's sake, they would choose a weaker Silver Soul Skill. Such cases aren't rare.
Some Demon Spiritualists, because the rank of the soul skill they absorbed wasn't high enough, or because they failed to absorb the soul skill, they ended up with nothing.
Therefore, the stronger the Demon Spiritualist, the poorer they are.
No matter if it's refining a demon spirit or absorbing a soul skill, the most difficult part is the resistance of the demon spirit's willpower.
A powerful demon spirit has an extremely tenacious willpower. If the Demon Spiritualist's soul force isn't strong enough, and their willpower isn't firm enough, forcefully refining a demon spirit will result in a backlash. If they aren't careful, their mental strength will be severely damaged, and their soul will be turned into ashes.
No matter how high the rank of the demon beast is, even if it's an Earth Ranking demon beast, as long as it dies and becomes a demon spirit, it will degenerate into a Grade 1 demon spirit. There's not much difference in rank.
The only difference is the strength of the soul force and willpower.
Under Lin Feng's control, the Arowana began to devour the Mirror Beast. Because of the suppression of the Nightmare Beast, even when facing the lowest grade Arowana, the Mirror Beast didn't dare to resist. Or rather, it's unable to resist. It was as if it was suppressed by the aura of the Nightmare Beast, making it unable to move. It could only allow the Arowana to turn into a blue transparent bubble, enveloping it and slowly devouring it.
The most difficult step of refining a demon spirit was not hindered by Lin Feng at all. It was unbelievably easy. However, the devouring speed was extremely slow.
With this speed, it would take at least one or two days to complete the refining.
With Lin Feng's soul force, it's indeed difficult for a low grade Arowana to devour a high grade Mirror Beast. With Lin Feng's soul force, it would be hard for him to persist for an hour. If his soul force is overdrawn, it would mean that the devouring has failed, and this precious demon spirit would be wasted.
However, Lin Feng had already prepared ahead of time. Before coming to the Demon Spirit Realm, he had prepared ten Blood Qi Pills. However, he had a hundred Soul Nurturing Pills. With more than a dozen Soul Nurturing Pills in his body, the refining speed increased.
Other than Lin Feng, no one else in Hongyun University would dare to eat Soul Nurturing Pills as if they were jelly beans.
Even an ordinary mentor wouldn't dare to do so. After eating so many Soul Nurturing Pills, one's mind would be in a mess.
If it wasn't for Lin Feng's daily consumption of Soul Nurturing Pills and his resistance to the Nightmare Beast, coupled with his strong willpower, he wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant.
As it devoured, the originally silver-white Arowana's pitch-black eyes became more lively. Its body also became more slender. The originally nine-pronged tail was like a phoenix's tail, but one of the pronged tails was slowly turning blue.
While Lin Feng was refining the demon spirit, not far away, three strange figures with horns on their heads were chasing after the demon spirit and flying towards him.
