Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 263 The Fear of Nightmares

Many people found Lin Feng's retreat unbelievable.

"Holy crap, am I seeing things? Lin Feng actually backed up?"

"This is really rare. I thought it would be an awkward 2-second kill!"

"What is He Jun's demon spirit? The blood-red patterns on his body are so strange, and I've never seen the black phantom before."

"It should be an unrecorded demon spirit, perhaps a powerful demon spirit that has never been discovered before. Otherwise, why would this bottom-ranked student be specially recruited?"

"How could a powerful demon spirit be at the bottom of the class? Do you think the school is blind? If it had any value, it would have been trained long ago. It's not like we can't afford to train it. Besides, do you think He Jun is stupid enough to not find any powerful forces to support him?"

Although the battle had not yet truly begun, Lin Feng's retreat surprised everyone.

This was the first time in twenty battles that Lin Feng had retreated right at the start.

Previously, Lin Feng had always relied on his combat talent to quickly resolve battles.

If the opponent has a defensive barrier, Lin Feng will approach directly and demonstrate the art of explosion to everyone. If that doesn't work, he will use the "Fish-Dragon Transformation" technique to become a steel giant and violently crush it.

This is also why Lin Feng makes people feel powerless and unable to find any weaknesses.

He Jun's martial arts strength has just broken through to the second rank, and is pitifully weak. Even without transforming into a giant, Lin Feng could blow him up with a single punch. With an artistic explosion, He Jun would be sent flying into the sky. How could he let Lin Feng back down?

The only possibility is that the phantom behind He Jun made Lin Feng wary.

However, to many people, this phantom was nothing special.

Its aura was faint, just a blurry, dark outline, with no discernible features, and it seemed to have nothing special about it.
"With such a terrifying aura, why is it at the bottom of the class? Are the leaders of Demon Star University blind?"

Lin Feng kept retreating, widening the distance by twenty meters, feeling very puzzled.

This aura is even more terrifying than the nightmare within him. Regardless of how powerful or effective his innate skills are, this terrifying aura alone makes him worth cultivating.

Lin Feng had never seen He Jun's demon spirit before, and such a demon spirit that had never been discovered before had great research and development value.

"Strange." Soon, Lin Feng noticed the anomaly.

What he saw as a demon god, a terrifying phantom that made his heart tremble, seemed ordinary and unremarkable to others.

They seemed oblivious to the terrifying aura emanating from them.

"It only works on myself. Is it because of the distance, or is it the effect of the soul skill?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, but soon the palpitations and terror disappeared, and the black phantom could no longer give him any feeling.

This did not relieve Lin Feng; instead, it made him even more puzzled.

He had a vague premonition that this was very important to him.

However, he couldn't figure out the answer, which made Lin Feng frown and feel a little irritated!
Irritability!

Yes, that's what I mean by being irritable!
Lin Feng was jolted awake and suddenly realized what was happening.

From the moment the phantom appeared, he felt the restless unease of the nightmare in his soul sea, but this feeling quickly disappeared, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"As Nightmare grows stronger and more intelligent, it rarely becomes so agitated except when it encounters an Outcast."

"This feeling suddenly appears and then disappears?"

"Isn't it my fear, but the nightmare, and the emotions from the nightmare affecting me?"

Lin Feng made a guess in his mind.

Although it was just a guess, it made him extremely excited and overjoyed.

To verify his guess, Lin Feng began to approach He Jun step by step, carefully observing the Nightmare's reaction.

Within the soul sea, the nightmare appeared normal until Lin Feng was within two meters of He Jun, at which point the palpitation returned. Lin Feng could clearly sense the nightmare's agitation, but soon the palpitation disappeared, and the nightmare's agitation also vanished.

As he had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had expected.

Nightmare, deliberately hiding her emotions, not wanting him to discover them.

"Nightmare is a demigod with its own intelligence. What kind of demon spirit has He Jun refined?"

"Even the most powerful demons on the Heavenly Ranking are probably just food in the eyes of Nightmare!"

“Nightmare cannot be feared except by a true god.”

As Lin Feng thought to himself, he began to retreat. Seeing Lin Feng retreat, He Jun's eyes flashed with a hint of regret and despair.

Lin Feng keenly sensed this emotion and became even more vigilant.

"Does her attack require my attack as a prerequisite?" Lin Feng wondered, while carefully observing He Jun.

Summoning the phantom behind him, He Jun clearly paid a heavy price. It wasn't just pain; his flesh and blood were also devoured, shrinking him to a shredded state, making him appear almost skin and bones. Coupled with his deathly pale face, he looked like a seriously ill patient. Seeing Lin Feng hesitate to act, He Jun took a step forward and charged towards Lin Feng, but Lin Feng easily dodged him.

He Jun did not give up and continued to pursue Lin Feng.

However, her original martial arts strength was only at the second rank, and she had not absorbed any soul skills. Coupled with her current weakened state, how could she possibly catch up with Lin Feng at her current speed?

Lin Feng simply dodged without attacking.

Under the astonished gazes of countless people, a girl as thin as a skeleton desperately chased after a young man, but could never touch the hem of his clothes. In the end, she collapsed to the ground, the lines on her body gradually fading away, and the afterimage behind her disappeared.

Countless teachers and students looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what had happened.

Why is Lin Feng keeping dodging, as if he's toying with the fight, instead of ending it directly?
"It must be a talent-based soul skill that requires contact with the enemy or absorption of the enemy's energy in order to counterattack!"

Based on He Jun's attack methods and Lin Feng's reluctance to engage him directly, Bu Zheng guessed.

He couldn't discern any ability in the black phantom, so why was Lin Feng wary of it?
However, even if it can harm Lin Feng, this ability is still useless and not worth cultivating.

This kind of talent skill is not only slow to release, but also requires a preparation time of two or three minutes. In that long, the battle would have already ended.

In addition, there are limitations on the methods of attack.

It requires contact with the enemy, so that the enemy can break through by simply dodging.

He Jun himself was not strong in martial arts and was slow, so he could not make contact with the enemy at all. In less than a minute, his soul power was exhausted and he had to exit the demon transformation state.

This kind of innate soul skill also has significant side effects; it seems to be a sacrificial innate soul skill that requires sacrificing one's flesh and blood.

Bu Zheng had no doubt that if he used his innate soul skill again, the girl would die instantly.

No wonder the Demon Star didn't nurture the demon spirit that the girl had never been refined before; it was indeed not worth nurturing.

He Jun failed the challenge and looked rather pathetic, but he still drew a lot of ridicule.

In everyone's eyes, she brought shame upon herself. In the final battle, she suffered such a miserable defeat. Lin Feng didn't even have to attack her; He Jun had already ruined herself.

Collapsed to the ground, He Jun's thin body curled up, tears welling in her eyes, but she did not make a sound.

She originally thought that by showcasing her unique value under the spotlight, someone might notice her and give her a chance.

She will seize this opportunity at all costs to change her brother's fate and the fate of her whole family.

But she never expected that Lin Feng would see through her attack.

In the end, she ended up in such a sorry state.

Fantasy is just fantasy.

She attracted no attention, did not change her fate, and remained a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

Wiping away her tears, He Jun slowly stood up, supporting herself on her thighs. Looking around, she saw no inferiority in her eyes despite the mocking glances and pitying words from her classmates. Her stubbornness, however, was tinged with an indescribable sense of desolation.

"and many more."

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and He Jun stopped in his tracks and turned around.

Facing this nationally renowned young man with limitless potential, He Jun's eyes revealed a hint of envy. If she could possess Lin Feng's talent, she could easily change her family's fate.

The parents no longer need to work 15 hours a day at high intensity to pay for their younger brother's medical expenses, thus sacrificing their own health.

Lin Feng's income from just one endorsement deal could easily change the fate of her family.

"Is something wrong?"

He asked, his tone calm, but revealing an undisguised resentment.

If Lin Feng hadn't seen through her attack and given her a chance to prove herself, perhaps one of the important figures present would have taken a liking to her.

Looking at the girl in front of him who looked like a boy, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation. Even though she was in a sorry state, the girl's eyes were still stubborn and she did not need anyone's pity.

Lin Feng tossed a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills and left without saying another word.

Although he had many questions about the girl, he didn't want to attract anyone's attention.

He Jun took the crystal bottle with both hands, paused for a moment, and looked at Lin Feng's departing figure with a look of emotion in his eyes.

"Thank you."

He Jun muttered to himself, then looked down and his eyes lit up with surprise.

Inside the crystal bottle were 12 Qi and Blood Pills, worth 120 million yuan, which was the combined salary of her parents for twenty years without eating or drinking.
