247: Chapter 247 Soul Devouring Technique

Zhao Feiyu impatiently opened the package.

Inside, he found another simple and ancient wooden box.

The box itself looked like it was worth quite a bit!

Opening the box, there was an ancient book stored inside.

On it were the three large characters: "Soul Hunting Method."

"Soul Hunting Method? Just the name sounds incredibly awesome!"

Zhao Feiyu immediately opened the book and began reading.

About half an hour passed.

Zhao Feiyu received a system notification.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heaven-Rank High-Level incomplete skill, Soul Hunting Method]

"It's actually an incomplete skill? And it's a Heaven-Rank High-Level skill?"

Zhao Feiyu cried out in surprise.

He immediately called Lin Jiuying to inquire.

"Chairman Lin, I received the item. What rank is this technique for improving Spiritual Power?"

Zhao Feiyu asked, feigning confusion.

"I'm not very clear on the skill's rank, but I know it's a fragment. However, don't worry. Even if this Soul Hunting Method is a fragment, what's missing is the later part. You don't have to worry about it being unusable at all!"

Lin Jiuying explained, "The main way to use this Soul Hunting Method is to enhance your own Spiritual Power by absorbing the Spiritual Power emitted by the people around you. Although the speed is a bit slow, there are absolutely no side effects!"

"By the way, Chairman Lin, is there a specific rank classification for Spiritual Power? If not, how do you judge the strength of someone's spirit?" Zhao Feiyu continued to ask.

"Of course there are rank classifications for Spiritual Power!"

Chairman Lin explained, "According to the classification method described in ancient texts, there are four levels in total: initial perception, Condensing Essence, spirit gathering, and Divine Soul."

"The Spiritual Power of ordinary people remains at the initial perception level their whole lives. Back when Alchemists were prevalent, one had to reach the Condensing Essence level to be eligible for entry. However, with the decline of Alchemists, it's not as strict anymore; ordinary people can also enter."

"Reaching the spirit gathering level is one in ten thousand. Even Alchemists may never reach this level in their lifetime; only a tiny fraction of people can enter it."

"As for the Divine Soul level, I've heard that once you reach it, you can achieve immortality, perform soul projection, and wander the heavens and earth!"

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu felt as if a door to a new world had opened.

As Lin Jiuying said, the way to use this Soul Hunting Method was to improve oneself by absorbing the Spiritual Power emitted by others.

When people are excited or in certain special moments, the Spiritual Power in their bodies is unstable. At these times, their Spiritual Power will radiate outward. People with keen Spiritual Power can sense that person's emotions.

This is the influence of the Spiritual Power emitted by that person.

[Skill: Soul Hunting Method]

[Rank: Heaven-Rank High-Level Fragment]

[Effect: Can keenly sense the Spiritual Power emitted from others' bodies, allowing for absorption and improvement]

...

Just then, the system suddenly issued another notification.

[Detected that the skill Divine Soul Devouring Method and the Soul Hunting Method have similar effects. Spend 500 billion to fuse them and obtain a new skill?]

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu was invigorated.

He hadn't expected these two skills could actually be fused!

Having experienced the power of the Heavenly Eye - Great Divination Method earlier.

Zhao Feiyu fused the two skills without hesitation.

With the consumption of 500 billion.

These two skills immediately became a brand-new combination.

[Skill: Soul Hunting Devouring Method]

[Rank: Heaven-Rank High-Level]

[Effect: Can directly perform soul hunting and devouring on a target. When not in use, it passively absorbs surrounding Spiritual Power to enhance your own Spiritual Power]

...

Seeing this, Zhao Feiyu was completely stunned.

He hadn't expected that after combining these two skills, they would become so powerful.

Furthermore, they formed a new Heaven-Rank High-Level skill.

One could also say that the Divine Soul Devouring Method had indirectly completed the Soul Hunting Method.

The previous Divine Soul Devouring Method required finding a suitable target to improve one's Spiritual Power.

The new skill after fusion could unconditionally devour any target.

"No wonder those demonic cultivators in movies and novels slaughter an entire city of people to improve their strength. This speed is as fast as a rocket!"

Afterward, Zhao Feiyu impatiently contacted Yuan Zhongda.

He wanted to use him to find some Death Row Inmates to test the power of his new skill.

For the current Yuan Zhongda, such a thing was a trivial matter.

Subsequently, Zhao Feiyu drove alone to a prison in Yunduan City.

As luck would have it.

Today happened to be the day a Death Row Inmate was to be executed.

With Yuan Zhongda's instructions.

Using biological experiments as an excuse, Zhao Feiyu took the Death Row Inmate into a room.

Nowadays, Death Row Inmates are no longer executed by firing squad.

The prisoner is tied to a chair and then injected with drugs for euthanasia.

When the criminal was brought into the room, the prison guards all walked out and closed the door.

When he saw that Zhao Feiyu was the only one in the room, he couldn't help but walk over curiously, "Are you the one who's going to execute me?"

Seeing Zhao Feiyu sitting there, the Death Row Inmate knew he couldn't escape death, so he simply sat in the chair as well, looking fearless.

Zhao Feiyu slowly turned around, looked at this burly bald man, and asked, "What did you do to be sentenced to death?"

"Robbery and murder!"

The Death Row Inmate snorted.

"Oh? What did you rob? To actually be executed?"

Zhao Feiyu suddenly became interested and began to interrogate him.

"I robbed a bank vault and killed over a dozen people from the Public Security Bureau!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder!"

Zhao Feiyu shook his head and sighed, "What kind of society is this, and you're still robbing?"

However, at that moment, the Death Row Inmate suddenly looked around and noticed something was off.

"Who are you? Why did all those prison guards leave?"

"The person who is going to execute you!"

"Impossible. When an execution is carried out, there are at least four prison guards nearby, but there's no one here!" the Death Row Inmate said, shaking his head.

Seeing this, Zhao Feiyu was suddenly amused.

Because from this guy's face, Zhao Feiyu couldn't see a trace of fear of death.

Instead, he was very curious about the absence of prison guards.

"Since you're going to die anyway, does it make a difference to you whether there are prison guards or not?"

"It makes a difference. Big brother, are you sure you're really the only one here?"

The Death Row Inmate looked around and surprisingly hadn't found any surveillance cameras in the room.

Seeing this, he became even more puzzled.

He had been in for three years; when a Death Row Inmate is executed, there must be surveillance footage archived.

It's impossible not to have surveillance.
