Chapter 353 The Effects of the Substitute Soul Skill

Lin Feng plans to absorb both demonic spirits today.

First, let Nightmare absorb the [Substitute] soul skill to enhance Nightmare's strength, and then let Dragonfish absorb [Fat Hedgehog]. This will increase the success rate.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng did not hesitate and directly slapped the demon spirit in his hand into his soul sea.

Nightmare floated silently in the sea of ​​souls, surrounded by red light, its blood-red pupils swirling like a vortex, silently watching the suddenly arriving substitute spirit.

The dragonfish also noticed the unfamiliar visitor. As usual, it hid in a corner of the Soul Sea. Compared to its initial trembling, it was much calmer now.

Although it still feels fear when faced with nightmares, two years of nightmarish torment have made the arowana accustomed to the aura of nightmares.

The refining process went smoothly without any obstacles.

As the nightmare grew stronger, things went more smoothly than Lin Feng had expected.

Faced with the nightmare, the substitute spirit, like the previous six-winged serpent, was terrified and trembled. The process of devouring it encountered little resistance.

In just three minutes, the substitute spirit disappeared.

After eating and drinking his fill, the nightmare returned to the center of his soul sea and quieted down, without any changes to his body.

"As expected of a demon spirit transformed from a demigod, it is indeed powerful."

A hint of amazement flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

The transformation of a demigod into a demon spirit seems to have given Nightmare the ability to suppress all demon spirits.

This oppressive aura rendered the devoured demon spirits powerless to resist.

After a demon spirit master has just absorbed a soul skill, they are sometimes unsure whether they have successfully absorbed it and need a demon spirit to possess them to confirm it.

Even without a spirit possessing them, a demon spirit master can still use soul skills, but their power will be weakened.

At this moment, Lin Feng was not possessed by any demonic spirit.

Even so, he was certain that the [Substitute] soul skill had been successfully absorbed.

He can release it at will.

This feeling, like breathing and blinking, has become an instinct of the body.

This instinct has both good and bad aspects.

In the past two months, there have been three times when nightmares quietly took over Lin Feng's body late at night when he was in deep sleep.

Although Lin Feng discovered them and quickly regained control of his body, it seemed that Nightmare and he had become one.

Although this was extremely dangerous, it also gave Lin Feng an advantage that no other demon spirit master possessed.

That means even without the Nightmare Possession, he can still unleash all the Soul Skills absorbed by the Nightmare. Furthermore, the power will not be diminished in the slightest, allowing him to perfectly utilize the effects of the Soul Skills.

"Nightmare's strength has increased significantly, and its speed in absorbing soul skills has also increased!"

Compared to the last time it devoured the six-winged serpent, this time it devoured the substitute spirit much faster.

This also proves that the Nightmare has become stronger.

For a spirit master, their natal spirit grows the fastest in the early stages, before reaching the sixth rank.

When Nightmare devoured the Six-Winged Illusionary Python, it had just reached the fifth rank. After devouring the substitute spirit, Lin Feng felt that Nightmare was not far from the sixth rank.

And the time span in between was only half a month.

Such rapid growth is a good thing for other demon spirit masters, but a disaster for Lin Feng.

Furthermore, this was already Lin Feng consciously controlling the Nightmare to absorb soul power.

Even so, Nightmare's growth rate far exceeds that of Dragonfish, and whether or not it absorbs soul skills has little impact on Nightmare's growth rate.

If the nightmare isn't allowed to feast without restraint, this evil spirit might have already broken through to the seventh rank.

Nightmare seems never to be satisfied with soul power. Even if it is full now, it can quickly digest it and continue eating two or three hours later.

Lin Feng tried everything he could to get the dragonfish to eat more, but the dragonfish was powerless to do so.

Lin Feng closed his eyes slightly, his consciousness entering his soul sea, carefully observing the changes in the nightmare.

Nightmare seemed to have noticed Lin Feng's observation as well, and its aura became slightly agitated, but it quickly returned to calm.

"His wisdom has indeed grown a lot."

This time, Nightmare was surprisingly calm when absorbing the soul skill, cooperating without roaring or howling, and without any significant emotional fluctuations.

Even without Lin Feng's control, Nightmare began to devour the substitute spirit on its own.

This cooperation did not satisfy or please Lin Feng; on the contrary, it made him very worried.

This is clearly a wiser approach.

At this moment, the nightmare seemed to be hiding in his soul sea, quietly watching him, silently growing stronger, until one day, it would seize control of his body.

"We must make He Jun stronger as soon as possible; the demon spirit within He Jun may be our only hope."

As his consciousness returned to his body, Lin Feng thought to himself, "Nightmare has now reached the fifth rank and will soon break through to the sixth rank, which means I can absorb two more soul skills!"

Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly.

Nightmare has now absorbed four soul skills.

First Soul Skill [Demonic Flame], Second Soul Skill [Demon Transformation], Third Soul Skill [Illusion], Fourth Soul Skill [Substitute].

All four soul skills are diamond-level soul skills, and they belong to different attributes and types.

Among them, [Transformation] and [Substitute] are even god-level soul skills.

This combination of soul skills is unprecedented and cannot be described as merely luxurious. If it were to be revealed, it would be enough to shake the entire world.

"Let's test the effect of the soul skill."

Suppressing his unease, Lin Feng entered his demonic transformation state. A silver-white gauze robe appeared on his body, and nine flowing patterns resembling phoenix tails appeared around his left eye socket. Five of these patterns were silver-white, while the other four were multicolored: blue, purple, gray, and cyan.

These four colors represent the four soul skills absorbed by the dragonfish: [Mirror Image], [Phantom], [Lock], and [Heart Contract].

Lin Feng slightly opened his mouth, and four fist-sized bubbles floated to the four corners of the room.

These four bubbles are not ordinary bubbles, but rather clones created by Lin Feng using his [Phantom] Soul Skill.

Lin Feng's gaze fell on Bubble, which was located in the eastern corner.

The next second, his figure vanished instantly, as fast as teleportation.

Where he had been standing, a bubble the size of a fist appeared out of thin air, and Lin Feng appeared in the east corner of the room.

"It's incredibly fast; no wonder it's a god-level soul skill."

A slight smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips.

He was very satisfied with the newly absorbed [Substitute] Soul Skill.

Soon, Lin Feng's figure disappeared again and reappeared in the west corner of the room, where another bubble appeared.

Next, Lin Feng appeared repeatedly in the four corners of the room, moving rapidly like a ghost, and a bubble would always appear the moment he disappeared.

After constantly changing positions, Lin Feng reappeared in the center of the room a minute later.

Four bubbles still float in the four corners of the room.

"It consumes a lot of soul power."

Lin Feng's breathing became somewhat rapid.

In just one minute, his soul power was completely exhausted, forcing him to exit the demonic transformation state.

Releasing [Phantom] and [Substitute] in succession does indeed consume a lot of soul power.

In particular, the [Substitute] soul skill, a god-level soul skill, consumes two to three times more soul power than other soul skills.

It should be noted that he only performed the technique inside the room, and the straight-line distance did not exceed five meters.

"I'm using the [Substitute] Soul Skill with my own clone right now, so it's easier without mental locking. If I were to use it on someone else, it would consume more soul power."

God-level soul skills are powerful, but they also consume a lot of soul power.

The amount of soul power consumed by this soul skill varies depending on the user's strength and the distance. This needs to be tested through experiments to obtain a rough estimate.

Furthermore, this soul skill also has limitations.

If used against an enemy, and the enemy is too strong, they can forcibly resist the effect of the soul skill, causing the soul skill to fail to be released.

The exact extent of this difference in strength can only be determined through testing.

Substitute soul skills are extremely rare, and very few people possess them. There is no specific data on this, so Lin Feng needs to explore and experiment on his own.

Although the consumption of soul power was great, Lin Feng was very satisfied with the effect.

This is the most important soul skill among the combination soul skills he designed.

With this soul skill, this combination of soul skills can be formed.

"At least we don't have to resort to suicide bombings all the time."

Lin Feng muttered to himself.

Having absorbed the [Stand], his attack methods became more diverse. Unlike before, when he could only resort to suicidal explosions against powerful enemies, killing eighty enemies while losing a hundred of his own, he could now defeat his opponents by relying on his stronger defense.

This fighting style, though feared and dreaded by the enemy, was a last resort.

This is trading a minor injury for a serious injury to the opponent, and a serious injury for the opponent's death.

Exhausted of his soul power, Lin Feng swallowed a Soul Nourishing Pill, sat cross-legged, and adjusted his condition.

Two hours later, Lin Feng opened his eyes and began to devour the fat water demon.

The fat water demon's innate soul skill [Fat Hedgehog] is a water-attribute parasitic soul skill. In terms of rarity and difficulty of absorption, it is not as good as a god-level soul skill like [Substitute].

Compared to the Nightmare devouring the substitute spirit, this devouring process was difficult and lengthy. Half an hour later, the phoenix tail mark on Lin Feng's left eye socket, originally silver-white, was gradually turning dark blue.
