"Eat it, eat it."
Yue Mingming took out two qi pills from his pocket and tossed them at the tentacle monster. The somewhat adorable tentacle monster hurriedly opened its mouth and swallowed the pills in one gulp. It chewed in large mouthfuls while squinting its large blue eyes as if it was enjoying the food.
Dong Xiaomei's heart was overflowing with love when she saw the monster's adorable appearance.
"So adorable!"
Although she knew that the tentacle monster was dangerous, she still carefully stepped forward and reached out her hand to touch its large head.
"Roar …"
The tentacle monster was clearly on guard against Dong Xiaomei's approach. It waved its tentacles and floated in the air, letting out a dull roar as if it was warning her. Dong Xiaomei quickly retreated in fear.
"Don't be afraid, this is Master's teammate."
Yue Mingming hurriedly comforted the summoned beast.
Monsters were hostile towards humans. Even if the tentacle monster had signed a contract with Yue Mingming and become his summoned beast, this did not mean that Yue Mingming could control it to do anything.
He and the tentacle monster had only signed an equal contract, which had a certain degree of binding power. However, if the summoned beast was in mortal danger, it could still escape or even attack its master.
It would be very close to its master and was very obedient, but it still maintained its bestial nature towards others. If not for Yue Mingming's control and comfort, Dong Yunan's rash approach would have already caused it to attack.
Under Yue Mingming's comfort, the tentacle monster's emotions stabilized, but it still maintained its vigilant state. It was only when Dong Xiaomei tried to feed it a qi pill that the monster closed its eyes and snorted in enjoyment.
To a monster, a qi pill was obviously a great supplement. One pill cost 100,000 yuan, and most summoners would not dare to be so generous when feeding it three pills.
"This glutton," Dong Xiaomei scolded with a smile.
With food to eat, the tentacle monster did not reject Dong Xiaomei as much. After eating three qi pills, the tentacle monster was clearly full, and it became closer to Yue Mingming.
"Go back."
Yue Mingming patted the tentacle monster's head and summoned it back to Shenwu Continent.
Summoned beasts could stay by the summoner's side for a long period of time.
Some summoners weren't strong, but they would have one or two summoned beasts by their side to protect them. However, this would consume their soul power.
Every once in a while, he would have to replenish his soul power. Moreover, the tentacle monster was so big that it was very inconvenient to carry around. Food was also a big problem. He couldn't feed it Qi and Blood Pills every day. Yue Mingming couldn't afford to raise it.
"How's your soul power consumption?
How many summons can you summon at once? "Lin Feng asked Yue Mingming.
Hearing Lin Feng's question, Yu Qiao was obviously stunned.
Spatial Demon Spirits grow at a slower rate. In his opinion, although he didn't know what Yue Mingming's Natal Demon Spirit was, it would at most grow to Grade 3 or Grade 4.
It would definitely not exceed Rank-5.
However, the tentacle monster was a genuine Fifth Stage Demonic Beast.
It was already not easy for normal Summoners to summon beasts that exceeded their own strength. They were considered geniuses among Summoners. Summoning two beasts at the same time was probably a rare existence among Summoners.
What Yu Qiao did not know was that Yue Mingming was no ordinary summoner. He was a monster that could connect to the Otherworld.
"If I absorb Jiao Ming's Soul Skill, I can summon another one."
Yue Mingming gave a definite answer.
Lin Feng nodded and did not ask any more questions. Although Yue Mingming's Natal Demon Spirit had grown to Grade 3, it had just absorbed its first Soul Skill. It would take some time before it could absorb its second one.
"It really can!"
Yu Qiao looked at Yue Mingming in shock.
Yue Mingming, who had become a Summoner, had made up for the only shortcoming of the team. His first summoned tentacle monster had exceeded everyone's expectations.
The tentacle monster was fast. Not only could it attack, it could also trap enemies. It could also release poisonous smoke and terrifying toxins. No one was willing to face it.
Furthermore, this was only Yue Mingming's first summoned beast.
The National University Tournament of Glory was divided into the preliminary and semi-finals. It would last for two months, so Yue Mingming still had time to choose other summoned beasts.
Naturally, the number of contracts he could sign wasn't unlimited. With Yue Mingming's strength, he could only sign a contract with three beasts at most.
If there was another one like the tentacle monster, Yue Mingming would definitely become a headache for all the teams.
He would also be the Hongyun Team's secret weapon.
At this moment, their team seemed to have the strength to become the number one team.
Number one!
Originally, Yu Qiao didn't even dare to think about it.
One had to know that Lin Feng's team of three had just entered their third year. Just as the coach had said, the reason why Lin Feng's team could win was because of the information they had.
If he hadn't told the Hongyun Team's main lineup about their Soul Skills and fighting style, it would be hard to say who would win this match.
In Yu Qiao's expectations, entering the top three was enough.
He joined Lin Feng's team mainly for resources and to display his strength.
He wanted to join an S Rank club after graduation and officially enter the Glory of Glory Professional Alliance.
This was also what many people had in mind.
It was undeniable that a portion of them wanted to become a superstar, but most of them did it for resources and Soul Skills.
Professional players in the Glory of Glory didn't only have to compete. They also didn't have to be as glamorous as they were in front of others. Many players also needed to enter other worlds to fight.
Killing beasts and foreign races.
Of course, they would also be killed.
Many people joined the Glory of Glory Professional Alliance in order to increase their strength quickly and shorten the time needed to become strong.
Professional players in the Professional Alliance also had age and strength restrictions.
Before the age of 30, they had to be below Rank 8 Grandmaster. If they exceeded that, they would have to retire. They couldn't eat for the rest of their lives.
"If we can really win the championship, we don't even need to win the championship. Even if we're the runner-up, we still have hope of participating in the World Championship."
Thinking about the rewards and resources of the World Championship, Yu Qiao's blood boiled.
Originally, he felt some heartache about losing two Gold Soul Skills, but now, he felt that it was very worth it.
Compared to winning the championship and participating in the World Championship, these two Gold Soul Skills were insignificant.
"Okay, it's time to go.
“
Seeing that the tentacle monster had disappeared, Lin Feng walked out of the training hall.
Outside the training hall, there were many members of the Hongyun Team. They had obviously gathered together and squatted outside the training hall's door. Seeing Lin Feng's team of five push open the door, their eyes were filled with passion and envy.
Outside the door, the three substitutes of the Hongyun Team looked at each other helplessly.
These days, they had cooperated with the main lineup, but sometimes, they seemed to be excluded from the five and couldn't integrate.
With the lesson from Yang Ningbing and the others and the coach, they didn't dare to say anything.
Fortunately, the resources that should be given wouldn't be lacking.
"Dean Bu has already informed us. After receiving the spirit weapon, we will set off at 2 pm sharp."
Zhang Xuan, one of the three substitutes, said.
Lin Feng nodded.
As a military high school, Hongyun University might not be as famous as the other two Hero Academy, but its foundation wasn't weak at all.
As the team's main lineup and substitutes, they could enter the Treasure Pavilion and choose a spirit weapon at will.
This was also the one Lin Feng looked forward to the most among the many resource rewards.
At this moment, he was lacking a weapon.
Lin Feng's team of eight walked out of the training hall and walked towards the Hongyun University's Book Pavilion.
The Book Pavilion was on the ninth floor of the Book Pavilion. When Lin Feng arrived, Bu Zheng was already waiting there. Without saying anything, under his lead, Lin Feng and the others entered the Book Pavilion and arrived on the ninth floor under the envious gazes of the students.
This time, Lin Feng's strength had increased a lot after coming to the ninth floor of the Book Pavilion. He could vaguely sense the danger lurking around.
There were no array formations or defenses, but it made one's heart palpitate. Not only Lin Feng, but Yunkai and the others also felt it. Their expressions changed slightly.
"The power of space."
Yue Mingming's gaze stopped at some places. As a Summoner, he could sense the hidden power of space and danger in the surroundings.
This time, Lin Feng encountered the mysterious foreign race wearing a pitch-black cloak.
Towards the arrival of everyone, his footsteps paused for a moment before he stared at Lin Feng's team. His gaze paused on Lin Feng's body for a moment. His gaze was hidden in the darkness, revealing a peculiar light.
That gaze made Lin Feng feel a little uncomfortable.
However, this time, he didn't have any intention of catching up with Bu Zheng. Under everyone's gaze, he disappeared into thin air.
"Spatial Soul Skill!"
Yue Mingming's eyes lit up. This was clearly the effect of a Soul Skill. When his demon spirit matures, he might be able to use it as well. Of course, it would be best if he could absorb a Soul Skill.
Under Bu Zheng's lead, everyone arrived in front of a bronze door. Lin Feng had been here before. It was right beside the bronze door that stored the soul cultivation technique.
This bronze door was three meters tall and two meters wide. Aside from its color, it was exactly the same as the bronze door beside it.
As Bu Zheng's hands changed seals, a faint light flickered and a lake seemed to appear in front of the bronze door. The surface of the lake was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. The water rippled and rippled.
Buzz buzz …
A mysterious fluctuation descended, causing the space to tremble slightly. It gave off a desolate and desolate feeling. The lake in front of them seemed to have been cut in half, and a crack slowly appeared. The bronze door opened, and faint energy fluctuations emanated from it.
"The opportunity to enter the treasury is very rare, even for me. Each of you can choose a spirit artifact, and there are no restrictions. However, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't deliberately choose a high-grade or powerful spirit artifact. You won't be able to control it, and you might even be injured. In the end, you won't be able to obtain anything. It's best to choose a spirit artifact that suits you.
"In the treasury, the color of the shelves represents the spirit artifact's element. If it's white, it means that the spirit artifact has no element, and if it's red, it represents danger and the unknown. Some of these spirit artifacts were obtained from the Shenwu Continent, while others have unknown origins. Because they can't display their full power and are dangerous, don't choose them lightly.
"You have one hour. Come out when the time is up."
As the bronze door cracked open to reveal an opening large enough for a person to enter, Bu Zheng slowly stopped his changing hand gestures. "Go in."
Lin Feng was the first to enter the bronze door, and Yunkai followed closely behind. As the eight of them disappeared, Bu Zheng changed his hand seals again, and the bronze door slowly closed.
.....
After entering the bronze door, a sealed room that was less than a hundred square meters appeared in front of them. The room was inlaid with soft glowing stones.
In the center of the room and around it were over a hundred cylindrical shelves that were one meter tall. The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of spirit artifacts, and there were also light screens that enveloped the spirit artifacts.
The spirit artifacts had their own spirits, and some of them could even sway while others could attack the light screens.
These light screens were obviously used to seal the spirit artifacts, but even if they were sealed, they still emitted strong undulations. These undulations varied in strength, and to a certain extent, the strength of the undulations represented the spirit artifact's grade and power.
Of course, this was not absolute. Some spirit artifacts that did not have any undulations could still be very powerful.
There were many spirit artifacts with different elements and different undulations. However, everyone's gaze was subconsciously focused on one spot, which was located in the furthest corner of the room.
There were red shelves with more than thirty spirit artifacts on them.
Some of these spirit artifacts were simple and unadorned, and some of them were strange. No one knew what they were used for, and the undulations they emitted varied in strength. At the center of the room, there was a long sword that was completely dark red in color, and it attracted everyone's attention.
This long sword was a little special. The sword was about one meter long, and the hilt was about 25 centimeters long. The back of the sword was thicker and thinner, and the width of the sword was less than half a finger. It was not the style of an ancient long sword, but more like a samurai sword. The hilt was silver-gray, and the body of the sword was dark red like a gem. Even though there were many nicks on the body of the sword, it was still very exquisite and beautiful, giving people a ghostly and poignant feeling.
In the secret room, the undulations of this sword were not the strongest, and it was not even ranked. However, it emitted an extremely evil and bloody aura. Even though it was sealed in the light screen, the undulations it emitted still made Yunkai and the others feel a chill in their hearts.
Facing this evil aura, not only did Yunkai and the others feel uncomfortable, but the other spirit artifacts on the red shelves also avoided it, as if they wanted to stay away from this red long sword.
"This aura?"
Yue Mingming could not help but glance at Linfeng. This evil and bloody aura was very familiar. He had experienced it before, so compared to Dong Xiaomei and the others, he was the calmest.
This aura was similar to the power of Linfeng's bloodline, but it was far less evil and bloody.
The moment this sword appeared, Linfeng also felt a sense of déjà vu. A desire emerged in his body, or it could be said that it was the desire of the Nightmare Lord.
In Linfeng's body, the Nightmare Lord was abnormally restless. This feeling was similar to when it first entered the demon blood pool.
"A foreign race's sword?"
Linfeng thought to himself. He walked towards the red shelves, and under everyone's astonished gazes, Linfeng's right hand passed through the light screen and gently grabbed the sword hilt.
Then, he pulled it out.
When the red long sword left the light screen, an extremely evil and bloody aura instantly enveloped the secret room. Under this aura, everyone felt dizzy and nauseous, and their blood tumbled.
As soon as the red sword left the light screen, it emitted a strange cry that made people's hearts tremble. It struggled violently in Linfeng's right hand, as if it wanted to break free from Linfeng's control. In the end, it even controlled Linfeng's right hand, and slowly raised the sword tip towards Linfeng's eyes.
