155: Chapter 155 Possession Influence

"You know, that guy Belphegor always influences me at critical moments."

Song Xin explained with a mournful face why she had delayed the matter of waking up Lv Ling.

So-called demons can actually be considered a type of alien race.

It's just that they are usually difficult to directly step into the material world, often needing to use a medium or specific conditions to influence the present world.

They enjoy playing with the human heart and feed on negative emotions, especially favoring the negative emotions of the Human Race.

Signing a contract with a demon and becoming a Demon Possession user allows one to enter a special state where one can summon the power of a demon for support.

This state is called Demon Possession.

When in the Demon Possession state, the user's abilities are strengthened in all aspects, and they can use the special Authority granted by the demon.

But this state also provides an opportunity for the demon to influence the user.

Demons never let such opportunities go; they take the chance to bewitch the user and erode their inner heart.

In addition to the price that must be paid for using Authority, after the Demon Possession state ends, the user often continues to be influenced by the demon for a long time.

The demon Song Xin contracted with is Belphegor, one of the seven Demon Kings representing 'Sloth'.

Influenced by it, after the Demon Possession state ends, Song Xin suffers from extremely severe procrastination.

The more important the matter, the more she will procrastinate and put it to the back of her mind.

To put it simply, it's like knowing clearly that you have homework or work that must be completed tomorrow, but you just can't convince yourself to take action as soon as possible.

You will sit there blankly, and even be much more proactive about completely non-urgent trifles like wiping the table or sweeping the floor than usual.

"And I just told you, a lot of things happened later, so I never had the chance..."

Song Xin continued to explain cautiously.

Among the Great Sin Madman, the one she fears most is Lv Ling.

No matter when, Lv Ling almost always has an expressionless look.

When he lectures people, he neither drones on and on nor yells hysterically.

There is only a suffocating calmness.

For Lv Ling, the influence of a demon can be resisted through powerful willpower.

Now, the strategic layout of the Madman Society is at a critical period, and there is an increasing shortage of manpower.

For Song Xin, who contracted the 'Sloth Demon' in recent years and became one of the Great Sin Madman, he must fulfill his duty as a Senior and let the promising newcomer grow up quickly.

Just as Lv Ling was planning to use merciless words to reject Song Xin's excuses and emphasize the importance of honing willpower again...

Footsteps in the distance caught his attention.

"To control such a large number of people, if it really is a mental-type... I'm afraid only an S-Class could do it."

Lv Ling thought to himself, deciding to put the matter of lecturing the newcomer aside for now and investigate.

"There's some situation outside, I'm going to go check it out." Lv Ling said.

"Okay."

Song Xin felt relieved and nodded quickly.

She had already been using her Special Ability under the urging of Chen Moxuan, and her Mental Energy had already been on the verge of its limit several times.

If she had to take another bombardment of Lv Ling's ruthless words, she really wouldn't be able to handle it.

She would really break down.

Lv Ling left the hotel, leaped up, and instantly landed steadily on a rooftop.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance, following the direction from which the footsteps came.

He saw a large crowd of people, more than twenty kilometers away, surging towards this side, and walking at the very front of the crowd was Chen Moxuan.

"It's fine... It would be a bit troublesome if it were an S-Class Transcendent."

His gaze fell on the leading Chen Moxuan, and Lv Ling suddenly realized.

Previously, he had learned about Chen Moxuan's situation from Song Xin.

Including the fact that Song Xin had used [Otherworld Walker] on Chen Moxuan, sending him to an otherworld extremely similar to the current world, allowing him to learn the erased Martial Arts.

To this day, there are not many people in this world who have a deep understanding of the group known as Martial Artists, and Lv Ling happens to be one of them.

According to his knowledge, a small portion of Martial Artists during the Niewu Era were able to Cultivate to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm by relying on exceptional talent and tenacious perseverance.

Once they step into this Realm, they can freely control their own Mental Energy and display methods similar to mental-type Special Abilities.

Although such methods are not as specialized as mental-type Special Abilities in a specific aspect, they have the advantage of being more comprehensive.

No matter what method is used, the Mental Energy required to control such a huge crowd of people must be extremely astonishing.

Observing that group of people now, he found that they all retained their own consciousness, and their actions were not directly controlled by anyone.

It seems that he used that comprehensive Mental Energy method to achieve the effect of deterring everyone and maintaining temporary order.

However, the fact that Chen Moxuan could do this was still beyond his expectations.

"I'm afraid that even my so-called ancestor from the Lv Family did not reach the Spirit Ascension Realm at his age."

Even for Lv Ling, he could not help but be surprised.

Although he had some understanding of Martial Artists, that was only learned from the few ancient books that the Family had preserved after going through countless hardships.

The ancient books contained limited information, so he naturally did not know that there was a small fraction of Geniuses among Geniuses who could Awaken the Heart-Phase Dao Seed while in the Tiangang Realm.

He also didn't know that a tiny fraction of Prodigies could have Mental Energy comparable to a Spirit Ascension Realm Martial Artist at the beginning of their Awakening.

But to reach the Spirit Ascension Realm, Chen Moxuan is actually still a bit short.

However, Chen Moxuan's current Mental Energy has reached the level of the Middle Stage of the Spirit Ascension Realm.

The Bottleneck that plagues most Tiangang Realm Perfection Martial Artists does not exist for him at all.

He only needs to wait for his True Qi to settle and become full, reaching Tiangang Realm Perfection, and Chen Moxuan can make a Breakthrough in one go.

In this world where Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is thin, if there are no opportunities or special methods, this process might take a long time.

But as long as he returns to the Martial Arts World, even if he Cultivates slowly step by step, he can make a Breakthrough in a month or two.

So saying he reached the Spirit Ascension Realm at this age is actually not far off.

"Regardless, being able to gather such a large group of people is a pleasant surprise."

"Perhaps there is an opportunity to summon the true form of a demon and completely destroy the Hero Association in District G..."

Light flickered in Lv Ling's eyes, his brain running at high speed, readjusting the upcoming action plan.

He has always held himself to absolute rationality, with all actions prioritizing his own goals.

Depending on the situation, morality and emotion are both tools to be utilized.

After careful consideration, a new plan gradually took shape in his mind.

Lv Ling looked calm, returned to the hotel, and waited quietly for Chen Moxuan to bring the group of people closer.

On the other side, at the Hero Association command center.

A group of staff members fell into a death-like silence again.

In their live broadcast monitoring, a large group of people were posting barrages like 'Boring' and 'Refund'.

The number of people watching the live broadcast was not rising rapidly; instead, it showed a trend of continuous decrease.
