In most cases, escaping underground significantly increases the survival rate.
Lin Suo descended while taking out the prepared Earth Crystal Liquid and smeared it on his body.
This substance can disable spiritual power detection.
However, applying it directly on the flesh for a prolongued period posed a risk of petrification.
In the face of life-threatening danger, he had no time to worry about that.
The Demon Spirit Giant Shark’s blood-red beast pupils flashed red.
A blood-red trail rapidly descended within its eyes, indicating the innate tracking instinct of the Demon Spirit to lock onto its prey—it didn’t rely on spiritual power, but instead on directly sensing the soul’s aura!
The giant shark form was not suited for moving through soil.
Consequently, a stream of black smoke quickly burrowed into the ground, darting towards Lin Suo at a speed even faster than his Mud Stone Conversion.
Less than ten breaths passed.
The black smoke form of the Demon Spirit caught up with Lin Suo, ramming into his body.
The Demon Spirit Clan had two methods of feeding.
The first was in beast form, directly gnawing.
The second was in soul form, attaching to and devouring the soul.
The second method was extremely difficult to deal with, only those proficient in the Soul Type or Spiritual System power could handle it.
Lin Suo encountered the second type.
Demon Spirit Possession.
Lin Suo shuddered, with his consciousness plunging into the spiritual power space (Conscious Sea).
Here, his body was a pale white orb.
The Mysterious Rubik’s Cube, radiating golden light, was also here.
The problem was, the Mysterious Rubik’s Cube seemed to be on a different side of the same paper; aside from the first contact, he had never touched it again.
Apprentice Level spiritual power was not enough to penetrate through, to dye the ink frost...
To rely on it to solve the Demon Spirit was ludicrous.
While the Demon Spirit still needed some time to reach the spiritual power space, Lin Suo frantically brainstormed.
Among his existing abilities, the only effective one was Purifying Evil, but it did not even possess +1, not to mention instant activation; he had learned it merely for self-enrichment.
He never expected to need it at a critical moment, only to find its level too low.
"What about the witchcraft I learned, and the Breathing Skills?"
Lin Suo’s gaze locked onto the Thunder Breath Skill, which was just 19 points away from breaking through to Red Grade, and then could potentially be fused with Life Breathing Skill and Original Moon Beast Breathing Technique.
Could it construct spiritual defense?
Could Peak Knight do it, and if not, the new Breathing Skill? Yet, the time was too short, those 19 points of proficiency were also like a chasm! Nearly impossible.
Recalling every moment since arriving in this world.
Except for the first cannon in Otherworld, he had no noteworthy experiences, always just an ordinary person...
Lin Suo underwent a significant transformation in this desperate situation.
His previous frivolous and immature mentality was almost shattered, still not careful enough.
At this moment, the space around Lin Suo seemingly turned into boundless darkness, continuously... relentlessly pulling him down.
No, it was the Demon Spirit arriving!
Catching a glimpse of those familiar blood-red eyes in the darkness, Lin Suo became instantly enraged.
Rather be shattered jade, than intact pottery.
The pale white light orb, representing Lin Suo’s soul body, in a boiling moment of will, burst forth with a dazzlingly intense light!
Even in death, he would bite off a chunk of flesh.
Lin Suo, who wasn’t skilled in soul battle, mimicked the Demon Spirit’s demeanor, transforming into a gigantic maw, and like tearing cotton candy, devoured the black smoke.
This act, successful or not,
would leave the soul body in a mutated state due to the Demon Spirit Power afterwards, in other words, becoming a Fallen Wizard.
The price of losing consciousness!
Though the Demon Spirit lacked intelligence, it wouldn’t just submit to slaughter, it also crazily gnawed at Lin Suo’s soul.
A white giant maw and a black giant maw wrestled each other.
Primitive and barbaric.
With more devouring, Lin Suo saw another memory.
It was humanity, net by net fishing the fish near the coast.
This area was supposed to be the ranch where the Sahua fishmen herded giant sharks, rich in fish resources. Yet, in less than half a year, under human greed, it was completely fished out.
The newly hatched young sharks lacked food.
They began to cannibalize each other.
With each death of a young shark, its blood dyed a swath of seawater red, steeped in endless resentment and despair.
And the victors would be caught by humans again.
Without any sharks surviving.
The ancient ruins of the Evil Naga were invaded by the Purple Orchid Knights, and despite the Sahua fishmen’s heavy casualties, they failed to stop the human invasion.
The sea was stained with blood.
Ghosts, despair, pain, hunger!
A surge of negative emotions filled the sea area, coupled with cursed artifacts left by the Naga.
By chance, after years of accumulation, the Demon Spirit Giant Shark was born a month ago.
It hunted all creatures that dared approach this area, the Sahua fishmen, driven by their innate shark taming genes, reappeared in this area.
Attempting to tame the Demon Spirit Giant Shark.
The fishmen attacked the shore simply because there was no longer sufficient food in the nearby sea.
All incidents formed a thread.
Seen through by Lin Suo.
He couldn’t help but lament, just how unlucky one must be to encounter such a situation.
At such a time, there was no room for him to grieve.
Whether it was Lin Suo or the Demon Spirit, both were on the brink of death, his condition even worse, a newly born Demon Spirit had reduced him to this state.
This world was too dangerous.
A broken orb floated in mid-air, gradually taking the form of a human, exactly resembling Lin Suo.
But now as a Soul Body.
With a large chunk missing from his abdomen, his elbow broken at the base, his head also half gone, strands of black smoke rising from his belly, black patterns spreading across his body.
Along the way, rows of shark teeth grew from the soul.
The corruption belonging to a Wizard.
Consciousness about to disperse, the Demon Spirit was the same, barely alive transforming into a small shark shape, biting on his neck, no longer able to bite further.
"I’m going to die..."
Lin Suo’s eyes were vacant, staring blankly at the Mysterious Rubik’s Cube high in the sky like the sun.
Why not try the Power of Synthesis?
Living beings are not typically included in the material category, but what about two rapidly deteriorating souls?
Between Lin Suo’s Soul Body and the Demon Spirit Giant Shark, it can be said there is a bit of you in me, and a bit of me in you.
To put it in a man’s terms: It entered me, but I also entered it.
The definition of a living being is also worth pondering.
Trying couldn’t hurt, at least better than the dissolution of consciousness!
Lin Suo weakly activated the Power of Synthesis, an unprecedented huge consumption engulfing his body, fortunately, this time it was a Soul Battle, with minimal physical loss, a body surpassing a Peak Knight provided him with an immense amount of energy.
The Mysterious Rubik’s Cube still no response.
However, the entire Spiritual Space burst into millions of golden threads, merging the two into a golden jelly-like substance.
Expanding and contracting.
The sensation of synthesizing his own soul felt like a chilling force penetrating his body, instantly triggering endless brightness and heat!
The soul is reconfiguring, and the two consciousnesses merge.
One filled with the brilliance of humanity, extremely warm.
The other filled with primitive hatred, chilling to the bone.
Lin Suo lost himself in this dual sensation of ice and fire.
A piece of information emerged in his mind.
By the rules, he had absolute control over the synthesis, and naturally knew the rough usage, this time the outcome was [Symbiotic Synthesis]!!
