Chapter 319: Homecoming: Part 2
Waves of eerie palpitation rose like a steady stream of tremors in the forest . A thick, dark red halo-like blood plasma surged from the center of the ritual circle and out into all directions .
“Gaze, despair . Ear blindness, hearing loss . Demon shades, split soul . Broken limbs, tangent…”
A vague voice got into Lin Sheng’s ears . It was intelligible at first, but in just a few seconds, it evolved and adjusted into a frequency and language that Lin Sheng could understand .
A translucent blood-red arm stretched out from the plasmlike red light as if a rescued person came out from a well, grabbing the edge of the red light .
As a deep inhalation sound spread in the air, a second arm reached out to grab the halo edge . After that, a third arm followed, and then the fourth, fifth…
The deep sound of inhalation got more rapid and denser when more and more arms emerged . It was as if some living creature trying to climb out of the halo got anxious .
Suddenly, an invisible mental shock ejected a strange pale-red huge creature from the halo . It looked like a pale-red cloud with hundreds of pairs of arms, inlaid with colorful rotating compound eyes . Just like the eyes of a dragonfly, they were round .
“Very good… Very good… You’ve summoned me, the Great Bloodgazer Tyr . You’ve been lucky!”
The cloud dark spirit floated in front of Lin Sheng . At three or four meters wide and six meters high, it appeared like twisted modeling clay . Its arms were swaying mindlessly like the tentacles of a sea anemone .
“Come on… tell me your wishes and I will fulfill them!” The thing bent down, almost touching Lin Sheng’s face .
Lin Sheng looked up with a complex expression of astonishment and longing on his face . “Any… any wishes?” his voice quivered .
“Of course, this is a fair deal . So think before you ask . ” The eyes in the cloud-like, dark-spirit body flickered and produced a low strange voice .
Lin Sheng could not control his body from shivering, and he swallowed involuntarily as if he was terrified .
“I… I… I…”
His voice trembled . He tried to speak, but he could not piece together a sentence .
“I… want… want…”
His voice got weaker and softer, almost imperceptible . So the dark-spirit cloud had to get closer to hear more clearly .

“What do you want?” the dark spirit urged .
“Want… your everything!”
Suddenly, Lin Sheng raised his head, his right arm planted into the dark spirit’s body with a creepy smile on his face .
In that instant, rays of pure-white, holy light shone from his arm . Like the sharpest spike in the world, the pure-white holy power exploded in the dark spirit’s body . The ensuing shockwave came in the form of arrows flying out in all directions .
The holy power purified everything that it came into contact with, vaporizing half of the huge body of the dark spirit . It cried in pain in his back, struggling to get back to the realm of the dark spirits . But it was too late . As the holy light shone on the ritual circle on the ground, it cut off the dark spirit’s route of retreat .
“No!”
The agonizing shrill faded as the holy light burned away the body of the dark spirit, leaving behind a blood-red sphere the size of a fist in Lin Sheng’s hand . Like an eyeball, a pupil was moving inside the sphere, watching everything around it .
Lin Sheng exhaled as he felt he had exhausted half of his holy power . He looked down at the dark-energy bead in his hand . “I didn’t expect this little bait could get me such a big guy . Totally worth it! It was of Level 9 strength! Phew! If not for the sneak attack, I might not be able to finish it off so quickly . ”

His approach was nothing new in Blackfeather City . Many powerful magicians used this method to catch powerful dark spirits and demons . Some of them used the dark spirits and demons as their slaves . Others simply turned them into a synthetic material . Some even ate them as food, or fed them to their pets . But only the most powerful magicians could do this . And this was also the case in the empire to which Blackfeather City belonged . Just like what Lin Sheng encountered in his dreams . Some magician caught the Thunderbeast and trained it as a guardian monster .
Lin Sheng examined the remaining ritual circle . Of the five living people he used as ceremonial consumables, three had disappeared . But two skeletons remained . Not bad for his luck . It was only because Lin Sheng killed the dark spirit and cut off part of the ritual reward .
“Let me eat it first . ” Lin Sheng looked at the dark-energy bead in his hand . It was a pure soul-bead, purified by the holy power . Because of the holy power purification, the bead carried Lin Sheng’s holy power’s energy .
Lin Sheng used the best method to minimize exhaustion . The blood transformation ritual could convert the soul power into the blood of the dragon . He was familiar with the ritual . But he had insufficient ritual materials, which were good for two rounds of rituals . So he had to get resupplied .
After a burst of soft red light, the fist-sized dark-spirit bead changed into the pure blood of the Rock Dragon . His had further transformed Lin Sheng’s bone marrow, making him one step closer in getting the full physique of the Rock Dragon .
“That’s over 50%, almost 60%! What a catch!” Lin Sheng spat out a spark to ignite the residual traces of the ceremony . He then directed the vault guard to clean up everything else before heading back to the mansion .
While on his way, Lin Sheng felt that half of his Rock Dragon blood was incubating an inexplicable power . His body was undergoing a crucial change, after which, a qualitative leap would be on the horizon .
The next morning, Lin Sheng led a few teammates—Melissa, Bella, and three other gutsy members—to begin their routine patrol mission . And just as he had expected it, a dozen clashes had happened in the town in just one night .

However, these people did not commit their crimes in broad daylight, at least, as if they were allowing Baine University to save face . But even so, at least four people were injured, missing, or killed last night . Of course, this figure did not include the five people that Lin Sheng killed .
After mediating a few disputes, news finally came from the silver mine that the team of professors decided to come out from the hole . Lin Sheng’s team had got a request from the chief commander to beef up their patrol .
As ordinary students coming for the credits, no one was counting on them . Lin Sheng could not have cared less . As long as no one bothered him, he would not want to bother anyone else . But he just could not help himself . Especially at night, when he would use fire as bait in the forest to entice those people with evil intentions in their hearts . And just as before, he would eat them as supper, turning humans into an oblation to bait the big boy dark spirits .
