Chapter 102: Mosquito Taoist Transforms, Shadow Horn Armor
Enter the Sword Debate Arena.

Super God Zed Ranking -

Name: Li Chunfeng, Three Sword Marks

Rank: 1065

Record: 986 wins, 0 losses

积分：2958+10+100+……+900=7468
With the added bonus points for consecutive wins, Li Chunfeng's ranking soared.

Some busybodies have done a survey on him.

This achievement of leaping thousands of places in a row has set a new record for the fastest ranking surge in the shortest time since the Yuancheng Ranking was first recorded.

As long as his winning streak continues, he will soon receive another wave of extra points, and his ranking will rise rapidly.

He's about to enter the top 1000, but recently he's been matched with a lot of Ghost and Demon race opponents. They're definitely targeting him, not wanting him to keep winning and reach the top 1000.

However, his opponents in this score range are clearly not able to stop him.

"Buzz~"

A mosquito the size of a baby's fist buzzed around his ear.

After being nurtured through forced soul fusion, the six-winged Aedes mosquito grew rapidly. However, compared to wild spirit-level Aedes mosquitoes, its intelligence was much higher, and it was already able to interact with Li Chunfeng in a simple way.

[Mosquito Guide]: *Aedes hexawingensis* (a type of mosquito).
[Cultivation Level]: Level 9 Demon Spirit (Tier 1)
[Bloodline]: Chaotic Bloodwing Black Mosquito Bloodline, Yellow Rank (1%)

【talent】:
I. Devour (High-grade Yellow Rank)

II. Blood Feast Evolution (High-Grade Yellow). The Origin of Blood, the Evolution Furnace: (4/10)

III. Divine Sense Poison (High-grade Spirit Rank)

IV. Incubation - Spiritual Symbiosis (High-Grade Spiritual Rank)
[Spell]: None

……

The initial talent rank improvement is relatively simple. Li Chunfeng only needed to fuse the many mosquito demon cores he had hunted last time to easily raise the strength of the Mosquito Daoist to the cultivation level of a first-order wild insect.

More importantly, the enhancement of bloodline is the source of power.

The Huang-rank bloodline inheritance granted Mosquito Daoist four bloodline talent abilities.

Besides those demon cores, he also fed Mosquito Taoist for three days, using his own blood and Hu Yifei's blood, and successfully raised its bloodline level to the Yellow Rank.

Especially the blood of the 'Innate Light Bulb Sacred Body', there's something special about it.

After taking a bite of Hu Yifei's blood, Mosquito Taoist actually started to crave more.

I wanted to eat more after I ate it.

As a result, Hu Yifei has been experiencing auditory hallucinations lately. At the slightest sound, he suspects it's the buzzing of mosquitoes. He has to wrap himself up tightly at night, fearing that some unscrupulous fellow might secretly release mosquitoes to ambush him.

He's practically covered in mosquito bites.

Getting bitten by mosquitoes in the desolate wasteland is bad enough, but to actually have to feed them when I get back to the dorm is just plain unfair.

"It's just sucking some blood. I raised Mosquito Taoist like a daughter, and you reluctantly became her godfather. What's wrong with a godfather feeding his goddaughter a little blood? Is it worth making such a fuss?" That's how Li Chunfeng teased his good brother back then.

Adopting a blood-sucking mosquito as a goddaughter?

The boy, who had just turned sixteen, immediately flew into a rage, barking loudly like a dog: "Is it just about sucking a little blood? It's unbearable itching, it's a huge welt, it's a mosquito bite that won't go away all day long, do you understand?!"

He's full of resentment; he's practically a bitter, resentful man.

Even the joy of winning the group stage and advancing to the next round could not alleviate his low spirits.

Li Chunfeng said awkwardly, "Hey, don't worry about it. It's just that your goddaughter likes you and wants to be close to you."

He then promised a whole month's supply of monster meat before finally appeasing his good brother.

Not only Hu Yifei, but the other three members of the team also couldn't escape the fate of being sucked.

Mosquitoes are lucky to be human.

"The first thing you take after being born is to inhale the scent of those around you!"

No one questioned Li Chunfeng's choice to contract a mosquito as his second natal demon pet, given the precedent of the Lantern Ghost.

Who could have imagined such a powerful lantern ghost?

Perhaps this six-winged Aedes mosquito will become the next "lantern ghost" (a type of mosquito that attracts many people).

After Li Chunfeng fused all the demon cores in his possession, although his cultivation level continued to rise, he was no longer able to further enhance Mosquito Daoist's bloodline using demon cores of the same kind.

It needs to feed on the blood of more species.

As for why not let Hu Yifei bleed out some blood before feeding him? Wouldn't that stop the itching and pain?

The main problem is that the mosquito-man wasn't interested in the released blood; he just wanted to suck the first mouthful of fresh blood.

"I don't know where he developed this bad habit of being a picky eater."

"Buzz~"

The mosquito Taoist awkwardly conveyed his thoughts.

"What? Your first drop of blood was fresh, so you'll have to drink fresh blood from now on?!"

"Hey! It turns out it was your old man who spoiled you and gave you these bad habits!"

The Mosquito Taoist is now a proper demonic insect in the Demon Spirit Realm, and its appearance has changed quite a bit. In addition to its ferocious mouthparts and fine, uneven teeth, its two scythe-like forelegs have also begun to show their sharpness, gleaming with a blue light, and can easily cut the skin if one is not careful.

Li Chunfeng is going to test the fighting power of Mosquito Taoist this time.

Enter the Illusory Realm and get matched.

Soon their opponent appeared—a rare Claw Clan warrior.

Even though this Claw Clan creature had already transformed into human form, it still retained the most striking feature of its original form: its enormous claws, which inspired awe in all who beheld them.

Li Chunfeng didn't know much about this race, nor did he care what their name was, how strong they were, or what their battle record was, since they were unlikely to be stronger than him.

Randomized battlefield map: Forest.

Before the battle began, a countdown hourglass appeared in the center of the arena.

"Demonization!"

Li Chunfeng transformed immediately.

The Mosquito Taoist in the soul aperture transformed into a black light and merged into Li Chunfeng's body.

A dark red, demonic aura erupted instantly, causing his hair to grow wildly, its color changing to a half-dye, with a few strands of dark red sideburns. Strange, scattered tattoos appeared on Li Chunfeng's face. His ears became sharp, his eyebrows long and thin, and a scarlet pupil emerged deep within his dark pupils.

"Double pupils?"

At this moment, he looked exceptionally eerie and sinister.

If he appeared in front of Lu Yun'er in this appearance, she might not recognize him.

Along with the changes in his physical appearance, a dark red and black light surged, and the stratum corneum of Li Chunfeng's skin crackled and creaked, weaving a full-body armor on his skin that looked like it was forged from strange, dark metal.

This armor feels like it's attached to the skin, completely lacking the weight of metal armor.

A gust of wind blew by, and he even felt as if he were naked. Because he could clearly feel the wind blowing on his body, just like it was blowing on his skin.

Somewhat embarrassingly, the wind blowing on his little penis actually made him feel quite cool.

The metal armor emitted a dark luster, the fingertips were sharp as blades, and the knuckles were covered with dark brown biological tissue. When the fist was clenched, it made a cracking sound. This hand gave people a dangerous and powerful feeling.

When viewed with an aesthetic eye, this armor is truly a combination of strength and beauty.

Its entire body was pitch black, as if it were constantly absorbing the eerie light around it, making it virtually invisible in the darkness. Grotesque, sharp horns sprouted from its shoulders, and razor-sharp bone spurs pointed diagonally towards the sky from its elbows and knees, gleaming with a sinister, dark light.

His head was covered by a full-face helmet, topped with a sharp, knife-like horn, and his eyes were cold and narrow, gleaming red. Strange patterns adorned the helmet's face.

He couldn't see his own expression clearly, but even from the perspective of his divine sense, there was a chill that ran deep in his heart.

What concerned Li Chunfeng most was that his body seemed to have grown a completely new limb, which was on his back.

With a thought, six long, flowing black wings extended from the back of the armor, like the wings of Inarius or the flowing black ribbons of the flying apsaras of Dunhuang.

With a slight sway of his black wings, his body floated up into the air, his feet leaving the ground.

Li Chunfeng, now fully armored, stood two meters tall with a perfect physique. Through the narrow visor of his helmet and his ear canals, he felt his hearing and vision were sharp, his eyes were focused, and the world was clearer than ever.

Forget about the 188-degree field of vision that a normal human would normally have; now, it was as if he had inherited the mosquito's perspective, seeing everything above, below, left, right, and even behind him—a 360-degree view. This new perspective made it easier for him to spot hidden details and even easily see through the enemy's true nature.

Even divine perception, within the same range, has become much more refined in an invisible way.

Perhaps this unusual double pupil phenomenon truly possesses some kind of supernatural power.

After all, those geniuses with double pupils in history were all exceptionally talented and capable.

Everything around him seemed to slow down, and his neural reaction speed increased by at least tenfold.

"Is this the sensory world of mosquitoes?"

It was as if the whole world had slowed down; every movement looked like a slow-motion sequence of the left and right hands.

"Bullet time?"

Apart from this, no other extraordinary abilities have been discovered in the case of double pupils.

In comparison, the double pupils that appear after demonization are quite different from the double pupils in those legends.

Even so, it was enough to benefit him greatly.

This is a completely different feeling from merging and transforming with the lamp.

Li Chunfeng was willing to give this transformed armor a majestic and imposing name.

"—How is the Shadowhorn's Sorrow Armor?"

As he stirred the surging black and red demonic energy within his body, Li Chunfeng felt... excellent!

He couldn't help but lick his lips. He smelled the sweet scent of blood on the demon opposite him and wished he could pounce on it and inhale it deeply.

"Demon way!"

The Claw Clan member keenly sensed a chilling gaze coming towards him and actually let out a curse.

How could a proud and upright demon race prodigy have a demonic aura that is not as strong as that of the human cultivators on the other side? Who is the real demon?

As the hourglass countdown reached its end.

Its eyes flashed with malice, and in the next instant, it transformed into a blur and pounced on Li Chunfeng.

Its movement seemed to trigger a nerve in Li Chunfeng, and his eyes quickly locked onto the opponent's figure. In just an instant, he could clearly see every movement of his opponent, every twitch of every muscle, and its small eyes that were watching him intently.

For a moment, it was as if time stood still.

So much so that he could easily calculate its trajectory, even its next landing point and the magnitude of the force it would generate.

It's a strange feeling, to have everything under control, as if all things are within my grasp.

Previously, the best way for demons to deal with human cultivators was to use their prized speed to quickly close the distance and engage in close combat. Now, in Li Chunfeng's eyes, speed was no longer a problem for him.

Li Chunfeng stretched out one hand, and the Chaotic Ancient Demon Axe appeared in his hand. He charged forward in a charging posture.

He's not used to the flight combat mode yet.

The six black wings were retracted behind him, and he fought solely with his martial arts physique.

Li Chunfeng immediately noticed something amiss with this action.

With his powerful physique and suddenly increased strength and speed, his agility has also increased dramatically, even without flying.

The forest was dense with trees, but this did not hinder him at all. He nimbly leaped and tumbled through the trees, passing trees that came towards him and then flying away. His speed was that of an agile monster.

With a light leap, one is already more than ten meters away; with the slightest touch of the toes to the tree trunk, one shoots several meters away like an arrow; with a slight touch of the hand on the tree, one can nimbly turn in mid-air.

Even though the Clawed Demon Clan was somewhat surprised by Li Chunfeng's speed, they were not intimidated at all, because the Clawed Demon Clan was also a race that excelled in speed.

It was even secretly pleased that its opponent hadn't summoned that annoying army of undead this time, clearly underestimating it. "Since you want to compete with me in speed, then let me show you the absolute speed of the Claw Clan."

Without hesitation, it accelerated, and just as the two sides were about to clash, it seemed to teleport, traversing several feet of space in mid-air. A 'Soul-Scattering Iron Claw' transformed into several dark red claw-like energy slashes, passing over Li Chunfeng's body.

Li Chunfeng's hand, which was wielding the demon axe, froze in mid-air, his face showing astonishment, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Won?"

Even the Claw Clan prodigy hadn't expected it to be so easy.

Fortunately, it was also a battle-hardened creature and immediately sensed something was wrong. The figure that it had dismembered with its 'Soul-Scattering Iron Claw' was dissipating into the air with the wind.

Damn it, it was just an illusion.

Without a second thought, it activated its near-magnificent speed ability once more, flying backward, its two sharp claws waving continuously, creating long, blood-red claw shadows in all directions.

Its response was correct, but unfortunately, Li used the same tactics against it.

Li Chunfeng's eerie figure appeared out of thin air behind it, his demonic axe swirling wildly like a whirlwind.

With the blessing of the fighting spirit, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered wildly, and suddenly there were countless axe shadows in all directions.

"Slaughtering all in all directions."

A single axe stroke cleaves in all directions!
"Clang clang clang clang clang clang..."

A series of metallic clangs rang out, and the Claw Demon screamed in agony. Not only were its 'Soul-Scattering Iron Claws' completely shattered, but in that instant of exchange, it had already been slashed several times by the axe. The most severe blow had even broken several of its ribs, almost cleaving its demonic body in two.

"Pfft~"

The young man from the Claw tribe glared, but couldn't catch his breath. Blood and saliva mixed together in his throat, he spat it out to one side.

Li Chunfeng felt extremely pleased. This was the change brought about by his super-high neural reaction. While wielding the magic axe at such a high speed, he could still perform micro-management with ease.

His opponent was very fast. Except for that one move that was almost teleportation-like 'absolute speed' that he couldn't keep up with, he could see all of his other movements clearly.

The Claw Demon felt a blur before its eyes as Li Chunfeng's figure vanished in an instant. It became alert again, exerting all its speed advantage to the fullest extent, and unleashing the 'Soul-Scattering Iron Claw' to protect itself.

But at this crucial moment, it failed; its body froze, and it was unable to move.

"Damn it, when?"

At the critical moment, the Claw Clan prodigy suddenly unleashed the primal demonic energy within his demonic core, forcefully breaking through an invisible demon-binding curse shackle.

I can finally move.

However, that one moment of delay had already determined the outcome of the battle.

"Binding spell + cursed shackles".

The continuous use of spells has become the norm in Li Chunfeng's recent battles, and few can escape being hit.

He then seized the fleeting opportunity for victory, relying solely on his speed to close the distance and unleash a devastating Heaven-Shattering Slash, pulverizing the internal organs of this Claw Clan genius.

987th win, easily secured.

After briefly experiencing the powerful sensation brought by the first-tier Desolate Insect Demonization, Li Chunfeng didn't linger and continued to match for the next game.

He is also getting to know the new power.

In particular, how to utilize one's flying talent and combine flying with escape techniques is a completely new challenge.

Even though he didn't use his full strength in these few sword duels, and most of the time he was just experimenting with new methods, his opponents ranked around 1,000 were still unable to hinder Li Chunfeng's winning streak.

They could only watch helplessly as he fought his way through the competition, winning more than a dozen matches in a row, and easily achieving a thousand-game winning streak.

Super God Zed Ranking -

Name: Li Chunfeng, Three Sword Marks

Rank: 333

Record: 1000 wins, 0 losses

积分：3000+10+100+……+900+1000=8510
His ranking also jumped from around 1,000th to the upper echelon.

Every opponent thereafter was a top genius in Yuancheng.

The creatures in the city who had been closely watching Li Chunfeng's ranking sighed inwardly.

The sniping plan failed, but that's okay.

For him, the real test has only just begun.

Li Chunfeng, however, thought differently. "I wonder if any of the more than 300 contestants can stop my winning streak?"

(Thanks to 'Never Asking' for the 200 coins and 'Mu Jiangyi' for the 100 coins.)
