Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 502 - 145: Spiritual Power Conversion, Execution of the Great Demon
"Boom!"
A loud explosion.
The body of the Black Spider Octopus King shattered into pieces, and blood splattered all around.
The broken tentacles burrowed into the ground crevices.
As an undersea great demon, its bloodline was special, and its life force was strong. Even a severed tentacle could bring it a chance of rebirth.
Fortunately, with the help of the Black Wind Demon Lotus at this moment, Zhang Lingfeng’s spiritual power surged, and the power in the Qi Sea seemed to truly transform into spiritual power.
The mental telekinesis fluctuation exceeding 20.0 instantly caused countless bacteria in the underground dark river and the fragments of the Black Spider Octopus King to lose their life force, forming clouds of blood mist.
At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng finally experienced what Huo Guoqiong had once mentioned about the King of North of the River Zhao Kuo, who killed over two thousand Catfish Demon Kings with just a single mental telekinesis strike.
Although he was not yet a Destruction Mentalist, his Sea of Consciousness value exceeded 20.0, and his telekinesis level was no weaker than the King of North of the River, perhaps even superior.
The range of telekinesis release at this moment far exceeded the previous extent.
All life force enveloped, with combat power under 200.0, instantly turned to dust, as the telekinesis fluctuation penetrated all, reaching above the surface and deep down into the dark river.
The Black Spider Octopus King had no chance of survival anymore.
"Inside!"
The King of North of the River had already joined up with Uncle Liu of the Qin Family.
They entered the underground dark river together, following the clues left behind.
As a Destruction Mentalist, he quickly captured the telekinesis fluctuations coming from the depths of the dark river.
"Bang!"
Zhang Lingfeng, like a deflated balloon, couldn’t help but kneel on the ground. The Black Wind Demon Lotus in his mouth had lost its luster at this moment, turning from glossy black to dull and withered.
Zhang Lingfeng felt that the power of his Dantian Sea of Qi was exhausted at once.
In the state of introspection.
He found that his Qi Sea was still the original Qi Sea, and his Dantian was still the original Dantian. He hadn’t nurtured a spiritual root, but the Black Wind Demon Lotus in the Qi Sea still existed, and it was more dazzling than before.
Despite being entirely black, it seemed to illuminate the entire Qi Sea Dantian.
Zhang Lingfeng felt that although he hadn’t nurtured a spiritual root, the seed for nurturing a spiritual root had already been planted, and now it was just waiting for him to awaken it like Qin Qianyu.
"Ling Feng!"
Yuan Gang quickly approached and helped Zhang Lingfeng up.
He looked at Zhang Lingfeng incredulously.
Zhang Lingfeng had actually killed the Black Spider Octopus King on his own. The power fluctuation just released was filled with spiritual power, with a Heaven and Earth Harmony Index far surpassing his own.
If he were in the face of such power, he would also be torn to pieces.
As the leader of the Hidden Kill Department, Yuan Gang was also a well-informed person.
But for a moment, he couldn’t understand where Zhang Lingfeng’s power came from. Could it be entirely from the spiritual power transmission of the Black Wind Demon Lotus? But how did Zhang Lingfeng convert it and make that spiritual power resonate with him?
It must be known that without the guidance of a spiritual root, a Martial Arts Grandmaster who absorbs spiritual power would instead damage the Dantian Qi Sea, possibly becoming a cripple at best, or exploding to death at worst.
"Mr. Yuan, are you okay?"
Zhang Lingfeng glanced at Yuan Gang’s wound and found that the Black Wind Demon Lotus leaves on the wound had lost all spiritual power, and Yuan Gang’s wound was still bleeding dark blood.
Fortunately, the Black Spider Octopus King was already dead.
Yuan Gang could focus on healing, actively repairing those wounds, and there was no longer life-threatening danger.
But Zhang Lingfeng still placed the almost worthless Black Wind Demon Lotus in Yuan Gang’s hand. Yuan Gang looked at the withered Black Wind Demon Lotus and seemed to think of something, looking at Zhang Lingfeng incredulously, "You... Dantian Qi Sea at 100%?"
He thought of a possibility.
Only with a Dantian Qi Sea at 100% could one absorb spiritual power, transforming spiritual power into one’s strength without needing a spiritual root.
And naturally forming a resonance with the Black Wind Demon Lotus.
He finally understood why even he couldn’t be like Zhang Lingfeng, directly consuming the Black Wind Demon Lotus and converting its spiritual power for personal use.
He could only use it for healing, and even suppress the Black Spider Octopus King’s venom through its spiritual power, but he couldn’t directly devour the spiritual power on the Black Wind Demon Lotus.
He threw the Black Wind Demon Lotus to Zhang Lingfeng to let him hold it in his mouth, not to let Zhang Lingfeng devour the spiritual power on the Black Wind Demon Lotus, but to enhance Zhang Lingfeng’s Qi Sea Gang Shield, strengthening Zhang Lingfeng’s defense through the spiritual power actively released.
Who would have thought that Zhang Lingfeng could directly absorb the spiritual power on the Black Wind Demon Lotus, even converting it into his own strength and injecting it into the Spear Technique, as if the Black Wind Demon Lotus was already a part of Zhang Lingfeng’s body during the process.
"This... Hmm."
Zhang Lingfeng hesitated a little but eventually nodded.
The two of them had shared life and death together, Yuan Gang even leaving him a chance for survival, so what did Zhang Lingfeng have to hide from him?
"You... Haha, that’s great, this matter is significant, don’t reveal it for now, not even to the Qin Family. There will be formal channels to notify those who need to know."
Yuan Gang said excitedly.
"Alright."
Zhang Lingfeng trusted Yuan Gang, knowing there was a reason for this, though it would mean Qin Wanrong had to endure it for a while.
"Someone’s coming."
"Remember, the Black Spider Octopus King was slain by the two of us working together, and you were assisting from the side."
Yuan Gang reminded.
"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Lingfeng nodded, understanding that Yuan Gang wasn’t after credit or fame, otherwise he wouldn’t have let him escape with the Black Wind Demon Lotus while staying to block the Black Spider Octopus King.
He suddenly realized that having a Dantian Qi Sea at 100% was even more terrifying than he imagined, no wonder Li Hua and others looked down on him, thinking of him as a frog in a well, with no one believing he could achieve this.
