Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 453 The Cursed Poison Master
Wang Jian briefly explained the task, not because he didn't want to say more, but because he really had nothing to say.

His main purpose in coming here was to escort these demons and ensure their safety.

Compared to the generous reward, this rescue mission was quite simple.

As long as they follow the set route, Lin Feng's team can decide when to start and how to rescue the victims.

The only requirement from the higher-ups was that Mr. Zhou return safely.

The simple task did not make everyone feel relaxed; instead, their expressions turned serious.

Because everyone knows that the simpler the task, the more difficult it actually is.

There was no plan, simply because there was no possibility of success.

That's why the higher-ups let them plan for themselves.

This is not about freedom, nor is it about having confidence in Lin Feng's team; it's more about having no other choice.

“You can discuss the specific plan yourselves. You have more experience than me in sealing so many spatial gates. You must protect Zhou Yi’s safety. He is different from you. He is only sixteen years old and is still just a child,” Wang Jian said.

“We are still college students, and we are still children,” Yu Qiao replied.

Wang Jian didn't bother with Yu Qiao; the guy talked too much.

He looked at Zhou Yi and said, "After I go back, you will stay with them. They will protect you. You will come back with your grandfather then."

Zhou Yi nodded, his expression a mixture of confusion and fear, but also excitement and curiosity.

Just a week ago, he was still in school. His daily tasks consisted of studying and discussing with his friends which professional gamer was more skilled and handsome.

He was just an ordinary first-year high school student, not even a martial artist. He was only at the sixth level of physical cultivation, with above-average talent, but not a genius.

Who could have imagined that just a week later, I would be involved in such an important mission?

He had no memory of the unfamiliar grandfather who seemed to be an important figure, and therefore did not have any deep feelings for him.

Zhou Yi didn't know what was so special about his grandfather, why he was imprisoned by a foreign race, or why the country had to spend so much money to rescue him.

He was just a high school student, and he was bound to feel worried and fearful about participating in such a dangerous mission. However, being able to do missions with Lin Feng's team also made him feel excited.

If I told anyone, my classmates would be green with envy.

The mission hadn't even started yet, but Zhou Yi had already figured out how he would brag to his classmates after succeeding.

As for the possibility of mission failure, Zhou Yi did not give it much thought.

He idolized Lin Feng's team and therefore had a blind faith in them.

Before leaving, Wang Jian reminded Lin Feng:
"This Elder Zhou is very important, extremely important. Do your best to succeed. If the mission fails, even with your track record of sealing the spatial gate, you will be in trouble!"

"trouble??"

Upon hearing this, before Lin Feng could even speak, Yu Qiao immediately said with displeasure:
"What trouble? Do you think we're on vacation? Our lives are in danger, you know? Besides, we have to bring along a burden. And let's get this straight, this isn't a task we volunteered for; you asked us to help!"

"If it's just about helping out, we wouldn't need so many precious spirits."

Wang Jian ignored Yu Qiao's complaints and looked at Lin Feng:

“You’re a smart person. You know how precious these demon spirits are. No single power can provide so many rare and precious demon spirits at once. Some of them were even obtained through trade with other countries. We’re giving them to you, but not for free.”

"What do you mean by 'giving it away for free'? Doesn't our strength benefit the country? Don't we deserve credit for sealing so many spatial gates?"

Yu Qiao questioned.

The others also looked rather grim.

“There’s no need to argue with me. I’m just telling you the facts.” Wang Jian’s tone became serious, and his expression showed some displeasure.

Yu Qiao wanted to say more, but Lin Feng raised his hand to stop her: "That's enough."

There's no point in saying more.

There's no point in rambling on like this.

These seventeen demon spirits are something that no force other than a nation could possibly produce all at once.

Their strength is indeed beneficial to the country, but in the eyes of the country, they are not that important.

It's not that important at least for now.

Because they are still too young and haven't matured yet.

Wang Jian was right. If the mission failed, the demon spirit would be a hot potato even if they got their hands on it.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Wang Jian gave the group of young thugs one last look, said nothing, patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder, and walked out of the hall, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"How?"

As soon as Wang Jian left, Ye Xing asked.

Without a plan or a destination, this task is far more difficult than sealing a portal.

"Finding the person is not so bad, but the mission target is in the hands of the alien race. Even if we find him, it will be very difficult to rescue him. Since Elder Zhou is so important, there is a high possibility that he will be killed."

Yun Tianqi also spoke.

The main difficulty of this mission is ensuring the safety of Old Zhou and preventing him from being killed by the other party. Otherwise, even if he is rescued, he will be a corpse.

"Let's absorb the soul skill first," Lin Feng said.

He didn't have a specific plan; he just wanted to find a target first.

"Are you alright?"

Ye Xing asked, but because Zhou Yi was present, he didn't say it explicitly.

Yun Kai looked at Lin Feng, his expression also showing worry.

At this moment, Yu Qiao was also very honest and dared not speak recklessly. Although the soul skill was tempting, Lin Feng's safety was obviously more important.

The chaotic battle with the alien race a month ago, the scene of Lin Feng's rampage and out-of-control behavior, still makes him feel lingering fear when he thinks about it now.

That irrational, murderous state was clearly a side effect of using that special ability.

Perhaps it's one of the aftereffects.

"No need. Only by absorbing the soul skill can we be more confident in completing the mission."

Lin Feng shook his head.

If he could, he didn't want to continue using Nightmare's abilities because the aftereffects were becoming increasingly severe. Although the blood transfusion was initially successful, it only provided some relief, not a solution to the crisis.

Having become accustomed to using Nightmare's abilities to absorb soul skills, giving up is no easy task. Furthermore, these demon spirits are simply too precious.

If the refining fails, the person will definitely be depressed for a long time, and it will take at least a year and a half to recover.

It will be difficult to have another chance to absorb such a precious demon spirit.

They need to absorb these soul skills to rescue that important figure. At the same time, these soul skills are also key to participating in the Kinghood Plan, directly affecting their chances of becoming a king.
So how could I possibly give up?

Even knowing it was dangerous, Lin Feng could only cover his eyes and keep going, taking it one step at a time.

Hearing Lin Feng say this, the others felt a mix of worry and joy, a very conflicted feeling.

Yun Kai felt only worry, not much joy.

If possible, he didn't want to use Lin Feng's power to absorb soul skills.

But as a member of the alliance, he can't be special. If he were, how would the others choose?
Lin Feng wouldn't allow that either.

Zhou Yi listened to the conversation with some doubt, but he didn't ask any questions. He just glanced at everyone and considered when it would be appropriate to ask for their autographs.

The atmosphere is clearly a bit off right now; it would be better to wait until we're more familiar with each other before making a move.

"Get yourself in the right mindset these next few days and prepare well."

Lin Feng spoke, and the others nodded.

"Have all the students in the city leave the spatial gate. If we're not here, powerful aliens will definitely come to retaliate."

Lin Feng said, and then left first.

The others also left one after another. Seeing everyone leaving, Zhou Yi stood there somewhat at a loss.

"You little brat, come with me."

Yu Qiao pulled Zhou Yi aside, intending to find out who this kid's grandfather was.

Faced with the demands of the cunning old fox Yu Qiao, Zhou Yi dared not resist and was simply dragged away.

When they heard the news of the evacuation from the portal, the students in the city were not surprised or had any objections, as they had experienced this situation many times before.

Although Lin Feng's team can seal the spatial gate, it doesn't mean they can keep it sealed indefinitely.

As soon as Lin Feng's team leaves, without any forces stationed there, the alien races may make a comeback.

If they don't leave, they will face the furious retaliation of the alien race.

Having stayed in Tianyin City for a month, Lin Feng's team will definitely continue to seal off other spatial portals.

the next day.

inside the room.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the three demon-sealing soul artifacts in front of him, his eyes revealing a hint of longing.

【Phantom Demon】

Level: 9

Talent Skill: Water Illusion
Soul Skill Level: Diamond Soul Skill.

Soul Skill Effect: By drawing people into an illusion through the moisture in the air, it can trap them in an inescapable dream world.

【Seven-Colored Water Dragon】

Level: 9

Talent Skill: Rainbow Poison

Soul Skill Level: Diamond Soul Skill.

Soul Skill Effect: A deadly toxin that causes rainbow-like patterns to appear on the body of the poisoned person, accompanied by excruciating pain.

The third spirit is the most precious; it is a spirit ranked on the Earthly Ranking.

【White Ghost Baby】

Innate skill: Aging.

Soul Skill Level: God-level Soul Skill
Soul Skill Effect: Overdrafts the enemy's life force, causing the enemy to enter a state of aging.

Three demon spirits, three diamond-level soul skills, one of which is even a god-level soul skill.

Lin Feng already possesses three god-level soul skills: Illusion, Substitute, and Six Arms.

If you absorb another god-level soul skill, you will have four god-level soul skills.

There are only 49 types of god-level soul skills in total, and Lin Feng alone possesses four of them, with the rest being almost all diamond-level soul skills.

No demon spirit master has ever had such a combination of soul skills. If this were to spread, the whole world would probably be shocked.

Neither kings nor emperors could possibly have such a luxurious combination of soul skills.

The three soul skills that Lin Feng was about to absorb were all to complement the dragon fish's innate skills.

The dragon fish possessing Lin Feng did not change his body; he simply gained a spiritual energy veil.

The dragonfish's initial level is only one, and coupled with its inherent racial characteristics, it is destined to have difficulty absorbing soul skills that enhance the body or have powerful attack capabilities.

Even if it can be successfully absorbed, it will not be able to unleash its true power.

This is limited by race and innate skills.

Although the nightmare possession did not change Lin Feng's body, the nightmare was a demigod, and a demigod becoming a demon spirit had long since transcended the limitations of a demon spirit.

Although the soul skills Lin Feng absorbed were of high level, almost all of them were auxiliary soul skills: Mirror Image, Illusion, Lock, Heart Contract, Transformation, Fat Hedgehog, and Substitute were all like this.

The same applies to the three new spirits.

God-level soul skills are too precious. In order to ensure the success rate, Lin Feng will let Nightmare devour the White Ghost Infant and absorb the aging soul skill.

Although this will make the nightmare more powerful, it is a necessary measure to ensure the success rate.

Lin Feng could imagine that with these three soul skills, various auxiliary soul skills would be released at the same time as the explosion: Demonic Flame, Rainbow Poison, Water Illusion, Fat Hedgehog, Wraith, and Aging.

The six soul skills are all more insidious than the last.

If possible, Lin Feng will continue to absorb curse-type soul skills in the future.

At this moment, Lin Feng had no idea that he would soon create a new profession.

A profession that strikes fear into the hearts of all: the curse poisoner.
