Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 73: Seizing the Body, Hesitation

"There are some things I need to make clear to you." Wang Xiu thought for a moment and decided to remind Luo Feng.

After all, this time is different from the original storyline. In the original storyline, Luo Feng went there with the mentality of dying together with the golden-horned beast.

In the original storyline, Luo Feng absorbed the spiritual power of the five planetary levels and raised his state to the extreme.

Even so, they were unable to break the golden-horned beast's soul defense.

It was at the last moment that Luo Feng risked his own soul and finally activated the remaining power of the inherited soul seal left by Huyan Bo, and finally succeeded.

It can be said that if Luo Feng did not activate the power of the inherited soul seal left by Hu Yanbo, his possession of the body would almost certainly fail.

Wang Xiu didn't want Luo Feng to lose his life because of him.

"This golden-horned beast is of the star level, and its strength is stronger than yours." Wang Xiu said solemnly, "Moreover, the golden-horned beast has ten times the genetic level, and its consciousness and soul power are far superior to yours."

"And the most important point is that taking over a body requires a secret method. Without this secret method, everything is just empty talk."

Luo Feng nodded when he heard this: "I have inherited the spiritual master's legacy from the ancient civilization ruins, which includes the secret method of possessing another's body."

Luo Feng was not afraid that Wang Xiu and the others would have ideas about his inheritance.

Luo Feng still believed in the character of Wang Xiu, Hong and Lei Shen.

Furthermore, what Luo Feng obtained was the inheritance of a spiritualist, and they were all genetic warriors, so they couldn’t use it even if they obtained it.

"Okay, wait a moment." Wang Xiu said, turned around and slashed directly at the exposed pronucleus of the golden-horned beast.

The nucleus of the golden-horned beast was extremely hard, and Wang Xiu did not use his full strength in this strike, so he was not worried about killing the golden-horned beast directly.

However, after Wang Xiu chopped it down with the sword, the already dying golden-horned beast's breath weakened even more.

"Okay, now this golden-horned beast is only on its last breath. You can try to take over its body. The soul origin of the golden-horned beast is in this nucleus." Wang Xiu said with a smile.

Watching Wang Xiu's smooth movements, Babata in the virtual space grinned.

"So violent, but I like it, hehe."

"Hurry up and don't hesitate. Just use the secret method of taking over another's body that your teacher taught you."

Luo Feng stopped hesitating and sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to practice the secret method of possessing another body according to the contents of the inherited soul seal.

From the perspective of Wang Xiu and the others, they saw that soon after Luo Feng sat down cross-legged, a bright golden light began to appear on his body.

Then the golden light instantly rushed into the exposed nucleus of the golden-horned beast.

Roar!
The moment the golden light rushed into the nucleus of the golden-horned beast, the golden-horned beast, which was lying on the ground and was dying, suddenly roared in pain.

Wang Xiu instantly came in front of Luo Feng and looked coldly at the golden-horned beast that was struggling to get up.

However, the golden-horned beast was so badly injured that it was unable to get up. After struggling for a while, it fell heavily to the ground again.

But he was still screaming in pain.

The low roar spread into the sea, frightening the monsters wandering around so much that they couldn't help but tremble as if they had encountered a natural enemy. This was the essential suppression of life.

After confirming that the golden-horned beast was unable to get up, Wang Xiu and the other two stood beside Luo Feng and silently watched Luo Feng as he was performing the secret technique of possessing another's body.

However, as time passed, Luo Feng's aura became weaker and weaker, but there was no sign of successful possession of the body.

"Third brother, does it take so long to take over another's body?" Thor asked anxiously.

Wang Xiu shook his head silently and said nothing, but he felt somewhat uneasy.

Taking over the body of the golden-horned beast was undoubtedly the key to Luo Feng's early growth. Without the golden-horned beast, could Luo Feng still have achieved his original achievements?

Wang Xiu didn't dare to think about it.

If Luo Feng lost this opportunity because of Wang Xiu, wouldn't he be ruining other people's future?

If this is true, Wang Xiu would still feel very guilty, after all, he still has a good impression of Luo Feng.

Whether in the past life or now.

"I hope it will succeed." Wang Xiu said to himself.

At this time, Luo Feng, who was practicing the secret method of possessing another's body, encountered a big problem.

The soul defense of the golden-horned beast was too strong. With his strength, he could not defeat it at all, let alone take over its body.

"Babata, I might fail." Luo Feng communicated with Babata in his mind, "The soul defense of this golden-horned beast is too strong, and my telekinesis is almost at its limit."

Babata was also very anxious at this time. This was a golden-horned giant beast, and a seriously injured and dying golden-horned giant beast that could be possessed by another body!

This is a great opportunity that even his master Huyan Bo has never had. If Babata misses it, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

"Don't be anxious, let me think about it, let me think about it." Babata paced back and forth in the virtual space and began to search frantically in his database.

After a moment, Babata's eyes suddenly lit up and he laughed:
"Have it!"

"Luo Feng, do you still remember when you accepted the inheritance soul seal that your teacher left for you?" Babata asked quickly, "You were too weak at the time, so the inheritance soul seal did not completely consume your mental power before the transformation was completed."

"And the remaining inherited soul seals have always been in your sea of ​​consciousness, right?"

"It is indeed in my sea of ​​consciousness, but what's the use of it?" Luo Feng was puzzled when he heard this. Could it be used to help me take over another body?

"Listen to me." Babata Lian said, "That inherited soul seal is indeed useless, but it was made by your teacher himself. It is essentially composed of immortal-level telekinesis. In terms of quality, it is much stronger than your telekinesis, and it is also stronger than the telekinesis of the golden-horned beast."

"So, you can completely rely on the power of this inherited soul seal to defeat the soul defense of the golden-horned beast!"

"But I can't mobilize that inherited soul seal at all." Luo Feng responded with gritted teeth. At this time, he had almost reached his limit.

"I'll give you a secret. You follow the secret I give you to activate the inherited soul seal." Babata said quickly.

……

At this moment, Wang Xiu and the other two couldn't help but sigh as they looked at Luo Feng, whose breathing was unstable and even golden light began to flicker on his body.

Even though they knew nothing about the secret method of possessing another's body, they understood at this moment that Luo Feng had reached his limit.

"It looks like the attempt to take over someone else's body is going to fail." Hong said slowly.

Wang Xiu nodded and sighed inwardly.

Luo Feng, Luo Feng, I have done my best. If you fail to take over another body, there is nothing I can do.

But just when the three thought Luo Feng was about to fail, something strange happened. Luo Feng, whose aura had been declining to the limit, suddenly became stronger, and the golden light emanating from his body became even brighter.

"Could this be a last gasp?" Thunder God was shocked by the changes in Luo Feng.

Wang Xiu's eyes lit up, there was still a chance.

And then the next moment, the breath of the golden-horned beast quickly weakened. After letting out a mournful cry, it fell completely to the ground, motionless.

The golden light on Luo Feng's body also began to dissipate rapidly.

But in just a moment, there was no trace of breath left on the man and the beast.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Thor frowned: "Is this a success or a failure?"

The next moment, the golden-horned beast, whose aura had completely dissipated, once again emitted a breath of aura.

"Failed?" Thor muttered involuntarily as he looked at Luo Feng's lifeless body.

"No, it succeeded!" Hong and Wang Xiu said at the same time.

Although the auras were very similar, Hong and Wang Xiu still keenly noticed the subtle difference between the two auras.

……

in virtual space.

Babata couldn't help but laugh as he watched Luo Feng busy devouring and absorbing the soul fragments of the golden-horned beast.

"Finally it worked!"

"Yes, but Wang Xiu was too ruthless. The golden-horned beast was seriously injured." Babata sighed, "But the golden-horned beast has a very strong recovery ability. As long as it has enough energy, it should be able to recover on its own."

"But before that, we have to get Wang Xiu and the others away first."

Although Luo Feng believed in Wang Xiu and the others, Babata did not.

In his long life, he had seen too many people killing each other for treasures.

Even brothers could not resist the temptation of treasures, not to mention that Wang Xiu and his friends were merely of the same clan as Luo Feng.

Next, we need to replenish the energy of the golden-horned beast, which requires a large amount of wood crystal.

If Wang Xiu and the others saw this, there’s no guarantee that they wouldn’t have some thoughts.

Thinking of this, Babata immediately sent an email to Wang Xiu using Luo Feng's account.

The gist of it was that he had already succeeded in taking over another's body, and there was no need for the three of them to stay here to guard it, so he asked them to go back first and help look after and comfort his relatives.

When Wang Xiu received Luo Feng's email, he felt completely relieved.

Although he knew that this email was most likely not sent by Luo Feng, but by Babata.

However, he did not point it out to Wang Xiu, and immediately left with Hong and Lei Shen.

Not long after Wang Xiu and his companions left, two silver-white figures suddenly appeared next to the golden-horned beast.

Silver Guard!

The two silver guards obtained from the ancient civilization ruins No. 12 were like temple guards, silently guarding the man and the beast behind them.

……

above the sea.

"Third brother, I'm going back to the martial arts gym first." Hong said with a smile.

"Me too." Lei Shen continued, "Originally, I wanted to see what Luo Feng's state would be like after he succeeded in taking over another body, but I didn't expect that it would be so troublesome even if he succeeded."

"After all, it involves the soul, and it will take quite a while for him to adapt to a new body." Wang Xiu shook his head, "I guess we won't see Luo Feng for another year or two."

"Forget it, it's a good thing that Luo Feng succeeded. We will have an additional fighting force when we enter the universe in the future. Maybe it won't be long before you, the strongest man on Earth, will be replaced by someone else." Thor said with a smile.

"It's just empty reputation. I've never cared about it." Wang Xiu smiled and shook his head.

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, then said goodbye to each other and went home.

……

The second day after returning to Jiangnan Base City.

Wang Xiu sat cross-legged in the martial arts training hall, quietly waiting for the system upgrade to be completed.

Finally, a clear voice rang in Wang Xiu's ears:

"Congratulations, Master. The system has been upgraded."

"There seems to be no change after the system upgrade?" Wang Xiu looked at the system panel that was exactly the same as before the upgrade and asked with some confusion.

"Master, after the system upgrade, the special reward rules have changed."

"1. After the master defeats the opponent, he can consume ten experience points and then extract a talent from the opponent as a special reward. It does not require an S-level or higher score."

"2. After the master defeats the opponent, if he obtains an S-level or higher score, he can choose to consume ten experience points to designate a certain talent of the opponent as a special reward."

Wang Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. In this way, there would be much more room for maneuver than before.

"What if I lose?" Wang Xiu continued to ask, "Can I still get special rewards by consuming experience points?"

"If the master loses the battle, he can choose to consume 2,000 experience points and then extract a talent from the opponent as a special reward."

"Two thousand experience points..." Wang Xiu suddenly felt a toothache. It was enough to strengthen his body by two major levels.

What kind of top-notch talent would be worth Wang Xiu doing this?

Although the new features after the system upgrade are good, Wang Xiu can't use them now. Soon, Wang Xiu focused his attention on the special reward he got from defeating the golden-horned beast the day before.

"Which one of the three rewards should I choose?" Wang Xiu was very hesitant.

Originally, Wang Xiu wanted to choose the clone talent of the golden-horned beast, and use the clone talent to breed a clone of the golden-horned beast. In this way, he would have both the affinity talent of the Golden Void Law and the enhanced secret method.

But after the system upgrade, the change in special reward rules made it much easier for Wang Xiu to obtain top-level talents.

For a moment, Wang Xiu hesitated.
