Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 37: The Sword Debate Platform

The night was cool and still, and the world was desolate.

After the battle ended, Li Chunfeng immediately deactivated his demonic transformation.

The lamp whirred and came closer, mimicking human arms to hug his face and press against him.

Li Chunfeng casually brushed the lamp aside, and the "sticky lamp" clung to it again, acting coquettishly.

He remained expressionless, but his eyes revealed a sense of helplessness. He never expected that his natal demon pet would develop such a clingy personality.

The sixth brother's behavior during the battle was one thing; he could blame it on the lantern ghost's independent personality and the influence of his own fighting style, which was considered a bad influence on the child.

He won't take the blame for being clingy.

With a flick of his wrist, a handful of Tier 1 Soul Crystals appeared in his palm.

"嘤嘤~"

Even the voice of the lamp changed. It immediately abandoned him, pounced on his palm, and devoured soul crystals one by one, crunching and tasting them.

Your destined pet needs to be trained.

Cultivators must contract with demonic pets, control them, and raise them.

Contracts are difficult to form and carry the risk of backlash. Controlling them is challenging and requires much practice. Raising a demon pet is also a complex art, with vast and profound knowledge involved, due to the diverse types of demons and their varied habits and diets.

Some demons can simply devour soil, while others must ascend to the heavens to absorb the clouds.

Lantern ghosts are essentially good at devouring souls; occasionally feeding them soul crystals is just an extra supplement. I've never heard of anyone feeding lantern ghosts soul crystals before. He only got hooked on one by accident, after which he started taking a bite. If he doesn't take a few every day, he'll stick to you constantly, which is incredibly annoying.

Especially after its level increased, Ran Deng's appetite also increased. Fortunately, it is only allowed to eat first-tier soul crystals now, and has not been allowed to taste second-tier soul crystals. Otherwise, he was really worried that after eating second-tier soul crystals, it would develop a picky eating habit and would no longer eat first-tier ones.

One day, I might not be able to afford to keep this thing.

After Ran Deng finished eating, Li Chunfeng also took a Rejuvenation Pill to quickly restore his soul power.

Once fully recovered, immediately point the sword at the next area shrouded in ghostly mist.

There aren't many lantern ghosts in this area, but there are quite a few bone spirits.

So they began to raise an army and sharpen their swords, ready to attack the Bone Spirit.

Leading his newly summoned skeletal knight minions, he charged menacingly into a swarm of ghostly bone spirits, ready to fight.

Burning Lamp then conjured up clones, which continuously spat out fireballs and launched telekinetic fists to harass the enemy.

Then all that's left is to sit back and reap the benefits, and devour the soul fire.

There are several Bone Spirit territories in this area.

Given the intelligence of the Bone Spirits, they wouldn't engage in a coordinated attack or a united front to annihilate him. It's fortunate they wouldn't, otherwise he would have had to run away.

They are highly territorial and adhere to the principle of "minding their own business." Even if Li Chunfeng is currently ambushing their own kind on a small scale, unless they are his own soldiers, they will most likely ignore him. They will never understand the concept of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

Of course, it's also possible that there's a lack of a Bone Spirit King who can command a large following with a single gesture.

If that were to happen, it would be a disaster for the people in the vicinity.

Li Chunfeng's frequent hunting of bone spirits, his overwhelming numerical advantage in clones, and his underhanded tactics left the targeted bone spirits helpless and powerless to resist, leaving them at his mercy.

Overnight, the lamp leveled up another level, a speed that even Li envied. But he wasn't in a hurry to have his demonic pet feed him; he'd wait until it couldn't level up any further. His ten skeletal knights were constantly being replaced. If one died, he'd summon another, showing no remorse whatsoever.

Continuing to explore and delve deeper, we unknowingly arrived in an unfamiliar territory.

Looking around, all you see are bare rocky cliffs, jagged rocks, a desolate and lonely scene.

At this moment, the sky was beginning to brighten beyond the clouds, and it was already daylight outside, but the valley floor remained dark.

Half an hour later, he found a stone cave at a corner. It was about half a person's height, a meter wide, and more than three meters deep. It was just big enough for him to crawl inside and sit down, leaning against the cave wall. Inside the cave were some military ration wrappers, empty cans, and beverage bottles.

It's easy to see that someone once lived here. Upon closer inspection, there are faint words carved in stone on the wall.

"Today, I, He, have been traveling here and have obtained a 300-year-old Ghost Infant Mushroom. How fortunate I am."

"You son of a bitch, Hu Tiefei, pay me back!"

"The night is long and I can't sleep. Add my contact number 1038907463 and let's chat about life."

……

Li Chunfeng read through the messages from different people for a while, cleaned up the trash, and then went inside. He took out a disguised wooden door from his Sumeru Mustard Seed Ring and placed it at the entrance. It immediately transformed into the same shape as the surrounding rocks, completely blocking the entrance.

Several small warning devices were also set up around the area.

Then, he casually pulled a useless little door inside the wooden door, which opened the gateway to Yuan City, and stepped through it and disappeared.

From the outside, it looks like just a stone wall, with no cave at all.

Upon entering Yuancheng, Li Chunfeng did not go to the Dao Fa Pavilion as usual, but went straight to the Sword Debate Platform.

With the deadline approaching this month, he will face the summons of the Abyss Tribulation. Worried that he might not be able to complete all ten battles by then, he might as well finish them today.

match!

Pairing successful in one second.

The opponent has already entered the Void Realm of the Sword Debate Arena and seems quite excited. He probably sees that the opponent has few battles and is ranked low, so he can't wait to beat him up.

The opponent is ranked 3,300th, with a record of 1,858 wins and 393 losses, which is a very high winning percentage.

"But I'm ranked over nine thousandth, yet I've already been matched with players ranked over three thousandth?"

The war scene is randomly selected—the Ghost Realm's Wasteland of Ten Thousand Bones.

The map simulated by the Illusionary Realm this time was actually the Ghost Realm. Li Chunfeng was immediately attracted by the endless high-level bone spirits wandering outside and the countless high-level lantern ghosts like stars in the sky.

He then scanned his surroundings but found no lantern ghost that was not of the lower rank.

What is this place?
Does it still exist in reality?
He instantly memorized the name of the Wasteland of Ten Thousand Bones, planning to look it up when he got back.

At this time, the number of online players (ghosts and demons) on the Sword Debate Platform is over 1800.

These people can either match up for battle themselves or spend a small amount of Heavenly Coins to enter a certain illusionary battlefield as spectators and watch the battles of their favorite opponents.

It is precisely because of this ridiculous setting that the old schemers' habit of keeping secrets has been broken.

When the ranking is low, it's fine; it doesn't attract much attention.

If you engage in too many battles, it's inevitable that your opponents will notice you and try every means to find your weaknesses so they can take targeted measures the next time you meet.

This is also why Li Chunfeng is trying his best to make up for his shortcomings in combat.

This battle has 0 followers.

As the countdown began, Li Chunfeng cleared his mind of distractions and instantly transformed into his demonic form.

His eyes blazed with soul fire, and white bones piled up on his cheeks like flying snow, forming a hideous skeletal face. Ghost horns snaked upwards on his forehead, and he held a pitch-black, chaotic ancient demon axe that was half a person tall. He didn't look like a good person at all.

The opponent smiled, snapped his fingers, and also completed his demon transformation.

A warrior wielding dual swords, dressed entirely in black with eyes flashing a terrifying red light, twirled his blades and charged at Li Chunfeng without hesitation. But halfway through, he feinted, then vanished in a giant bubble with a bang.

"Oh, illusion magic!"

Li Chunfeng looked left and right, as if searching for his opponent.

A long sword had already sliced ​​through his waist at an unimaginable speed, splitting his body in two and killing him instantly.

"Won!"

The dual-wielding warrior brandished his longswords and struck a heroic pose.

Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong. "Wait, something's not right."

It doesn't feel right.

His reaction was quick; he instantly turned into bubbles and disappeared again.

"Om~"

The demonic axe energy, as vivid as ink painting, cleaved through the empty void, sending his head flying into the sky, blood spurting three zhang high from the severed end.

[You have won, gaining 3 points, current score 63. You have climbed 36 places on the leaderboard.]

And so Li Chunfeng achieved his first win of the month. Without much joy, he immediately started the next match.
