Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 763 - 572: Thunder Rain

Among the 37 mentors, even though it was only the fourth turn, Yun Kai had already confirmed his choice of mentor in advance.As for the remaining mentors, he wasn’t particularly interested.

Upon hearing Yun Kai’s words, no one found it inappropriate or surprising.

Controlling Sword with Qi, this Secret Skill indeed suited Yun Kai very well.

With Yun Kai’s talent, if he learned this Secret Skill, his Sword Control ability would certainly become stronger. Even without having taken a mentor yet, people were already looking forward to seeing how Yun Kai would look after mastering Controlling Sword with Qi.

The extent of his power increase was unmeasurable, but it would definitely be extraordinarily impressive.

And compared to Zuo Ziyu, Yun Kai had another significant advantage: he was a Demon Spirit Master, who had also absorbed the Divine Level Soul Skill [Sword Rain]. Zuo Ziyu needed seven to eight seconds and a large amount of Spiritual Power to condense 99 sharp swords, while Yun Kai could easily achieve it in just one or two seconds by releasing a Soul Skill.

"I wonder what kind of assessment Emperor Zuo will conduct this time?"

As Yun Kai looked at Zuo Ziyu, he asked, his tone slightly worried.

Though the power and status of a Martial Emperor do not compare to the Extraordinary, they are still above the King level.

Controlling Sword with Qi is also an extremely powerful exclusive Secret Skill.

For a Demon Spirit Master, this Secret Skill isn’t as crucial.

After all, without a good ten to eight years, learning it is impossible due to its difficulty. It might be better to absorb a precious Soul Skill.

However, for Martial Artists who cannot refine Demon Spirits, this Secret Skill becomes particularly precious.

There are definitely many who want to become Zuo Ziyu’s apprentices, with Martial Artists making up the majority.

Those who became students as Martial Artists likely went through the ’Might Makes Right’ assessment, which involved some ruthless characters.

Though Yun Kai was exceptionally gifted, mentor assessment tests power, not talent.

In the eyes of an Emperor, talent isn’t that important.

Not even Ancestral Demonization.

"Emperor Zuo is from Hua Country, we have a national advantage; with your talent, he might even directly grant you an invitation card," Ye Qiu said.

Among the students, solely based on talent, Yun Kai ranks second; no one would dare claim first place.

Moreover, Yun Kai’s power is not weak at present, coupled with his talent and the perfect match of Zuo Ziyu’s Secret Skill Controlling Sword with Qi, obtaining an invitation card is not impossible.

"Talent does not hold much significance for an Emperor; in special times, talent only has value when combined with power."

Yun Tianqi looked at Yun Kai and said, "You need to demonstrate your power, show Emperor Zuo that you have the possibility of becoming a King."

In others’ eyes, Yun Kai’s power was at most Eighth Grade, considered the weakest among the students. Even though he was exceptionally talented, the hope of becoming a King was slim.

They were participating in the King Becoming Plan, not a talent cultivation plan.

Facing the impending chaotic times, without becoming a King, one would not even qualify to enter the core battleground.

"Don’t worry, whether or not you get an invitation card, one of us will apprentice under Zuo Ziyu."

Seeing Yun Kai looking somewhat concerned, Lin Feng comforted him.

A mentor could have fifteen students.

A student could bring a helper.

Since Controlling Sword with Qi was very important to Yun Kai, it was imperative to ensure that someone from the Avengers Alliance would apprentice under Zuo Ziyu.

No matter if Yun Kai obtained an invitation card from the mentor, with so many in the Avengers Alliance, each possessing different skills, surely one could pass Zuo Ziyu’s assessment.

Even if they couldn’t pass Zuo Ziyu’s assessment, they’d have to find ways to collaborate and negotiate with other students, ultimately securing a helper spot.

"Mm."

Yun Kai nodded, not saying much more.

The display of Sword Control with Qi by Zuo Ziyu mesmerized the students and ignited the atmosphere at the scene.

"Ah."

In the line of mentors, Alice sighed slightly. Before showcasing their power, one couldn’t see a huge power gap with the Emperors, but this demonstration made them feel inferior.

Not only the students were in awe; even the mentors felt the same way.

The only consolation was that the Emperors introduced themselves and showed their power first, without direct comparison.

After Zuo Ziyu returned to the mentor’s line, a petite middle-aged man in pitch-black ninja attire stepped forward. He walked through the void, gradually blending into the air, and at the same time, his voice echoed in everyone’s ears: "I am Hequan Chebai, Martial Emperor, profession Assassin."

It was just a simple self-introduction without any Secret Skill demonstration, yet it filled all students with a sense of terror.

As an Assassin, concealing oneself is a basic ability.

There’s nothing surprising about that.

The astonishing thing is that although Hequan Chebai had already vanished, the students still felt his presence beside them.

The distance felt extremely close.

Because the faint sound of breathing echoed right at everyone’s ears.

"I can’t find them."

Yu Qiao looked around but still couldn’t find any trace of Hequan Chebai. Yet, he had a feeling that in the next second, Hequan Chebai would appear right in front of him.

Not only did Yu Qiao have this feeling, Lin Feng had it too.

Even though he used the Fish Dragon Transformation cultivation technique, he couldn’t find the opponent’s traces.

Because the moisture in the air hadn’t changed.

When the crowd discovered Hequan Chebai, he had already quietly returned to the mentor lineup.

In the Avengers Alliance, only Yu Qiao was an Assassin by profession, but his chosen mentor was Leng Feng, so he wasn’t interested in Hequan Chebai.

After Hequan Chebai returned to the lineup, a brown-haired, purple-eyed woman wearing a purple robe stepped out.

The woman looked to be in her thirties or forties. Although she wore a robe, she had a massive golden column sword on her back. Her appearance wasn’t pretty, with a purple-gold headband on her forehead, and her slender eyes made her look somewhat cold and unapproachable. Her wheat-colored skin was slightly dark, and she stood at least one meter ninety-five tall. Her large frame made her look somewhat slender.

"My name is Reimer, Extraordinary, Thunder Series Mage, with the secret skill [Thunder Rain]."

The woman introduced herself, her voice carrying a slightly cool tone.

After a simple introduction, a dull thunderous sound came from the clear sky, and thick dark clouds appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering most of the sky within seconds.

The sky turned dark, exuding a suffocating atmosphere.

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, a torrential downpour began. However, the raindrops were a strange purple color.

Purple raindrops fell from the sky, making the sky look exceedingly splendid.

"Thunder Rain!"

Lin Feng looked up at the purple raindrops in mid-air, his eyes filled with a trace of bewilderment and shock.

Is this the means of an Extraordinary?

To be able to change the form of thunder!

Facing the purple raindrops, various lights blossomed, and the students quickly covered themselves with Spiritual Power or released defense soul skills, with no one daring to be exposed directly to the rain.

The purple raindrops fell on Lin Feng’s Spiritual Power garment, rippling out bursts of thunderlight as if stones were dropped into a lake, quickly corroding more than half of the Spiritual Power garment.

Lin Feng activated his cultivation technique, continuously repairing the garment, but the repair speed was far inferior to the raindrops’ corrosion speed, and soon the Spiritual Power garment dissolved completely. The raindrops touched his skin, bringing a tingling and numb sensation.

"So powerful!"

Yang Ningbing looked at Reimer in mid-air, her eyes filled with admiration.

Reimer, as an Extraordinary Powerhouse and a Thunder Series Mage, was already the mentor she wished to apprentice under. Witnessing the secret skill made her even more eager.

At this moment, her feelings were the same as those of Ye Xing previously.

Among the students, many were Thunder Series Mages, and now all of them looked at Reimer with eager gazes. Even Lin Feng developed the idea of apprenticing under her.

He was also a Thunder Series Mage.

Although the Dragon Fish’s innate skill ’Bubble’ is employed to attack via explosion, the essence of ’Bubble’ explosions is also a Thunder Series attack. Learning [Thunder Rain] would undoubtedly be beneficial to him. It might even alter the way ’Bubble’ attacks.

The rain gradually stopped, and the air was filled with a pungent odor.

It was the smell of ozone.

"Brother Feng, do you also want to apprentice under Reimer?" Yun Kai asked.

Yang Ningbing also looked at Lin Feng.

She wanted to apprentice under Reimer, but she wasn’t confident in passing the assessment.

As for the invitation card, she didn’t dare to hope for it.

According to the contest rules, a mentor has three invitation cards, and these are likely given to insiders.

Such as a friend’s young relation or students of their own country.

She wasn’t an exceptional Demon Fiend like Yun Kai. Although she was a descendant of the Glory Race, her family didn’t have an Emperor, which held no attraction or value to an Extraordinary like Reimer. Therefore, there was no way she would receive one.

If Lin Feng also wanted to apprentice under Reimer, then she could be his assistant and indirectly study under Reimer.

In the Avengers Alliance, only he and Lin Feng practiced Thunder Techniques, so the assistant spot would surely belong to her.

"I’ll see; I’m not too sure yet."

Regarding Yang Ningbing’s expectant gaze, Lin Feng shook his head, not giving a definitive answer.

He was indeed very interested in the [Thunder Rain] secret skill, and apprenticing under an Extraordinary Powerhouse would also be beneficial for his future.

But he wasn’t purely a Thunder Series Mage, so learning this secret skill wouldn’t be easy.

Furthermore, he didn’t feel an irresistible attraction to this secret skill.

The Fish Dragon Transformation cultivation technique records breaking through to the Ninth Layer, which also gives the ability to control thunder and myriad waters.

He wanted to see more.

This was only the sixth mentor; there were still thirty-one more mentors, and perhaps even more astonishing secret skills would appear.
