Chapter 315: Chapter 297 Holy Spirit Part 1

"Holy Spirit’s Blood...." Lin Fei’s shock was beyond words. "Such a chance... it’s even lower than a comet hitting the Earth..."

"No! Not necessarily, it might be another bloodline..." He carefully pulled a napkin from the table and then dipped the blood from his finger onto it.

At this moment, when he again employed his feigning skills, they were no longer erased, but he could still feel it was much harder to maintain than usual. It seemed that the rate of consumption of the released energy was much greater than normal.

Lin Fei’s gaze sharpened, and a barrier instantly unfolded, he gently tossed the tissue, and the white napkin slowly drifted down in the air, suddenly scattering sparks, turning the entire napkin into a fireball instantly.

Lin Fei stared intently at the fireball, putting down the lighter in his hand.

"Now is the time to verify whether it truly is Holy Spirit’s Blood... If burning it cannot eliminate it..."

The napkin hovered midair burning, the flame quickly shrinking from large to small, eventually leaving only sparks, and a thick smell of burning paper emanating, yet completely blocked by the barrier.

What remained was a clump of blackened napkin ashes, but within it, a hint of crimson faintly shone through the black ashes.

Lin Fei’s expression darkened, and with one hand, he grasped that speck of crimson into his hand. In the blackened paper ashes, bits of blood-red still lingered, and it seemed that due to the burning, it had turned slightly golden in color, appearing even more vivid.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Fei murmured, "It’s truly Holy Spirit’s Blood, identical to the records in the data."

"There are not many bloodlines in the Inner World that truly count as capable of merging with and eliminating the effects of special abilities, only Holy Spirit’s Blood. If Lin You really possesses the Holy Spirit’s Bloodline... then..." Lin Fei slightly narrowed his eyes, his whole demeanor exuding a chill yet enchanting aura.

"This top-level bloodline, capable of erasing and merging special abilities, appears randomly in humans. There is no inheritance tradition, nor can any other innate conditions influence it. It seems that the reason the Holy See people pursued Lin You in his previous life might be rooted in this Holy Spirit’s Blood," Lin Fei guessed vaguely in his heart.

"Holy Spirit’s Blood was initially recorded by the Holy See, referred to as Holy Blood, and in the chamber for the heretic trials, another name for it was Demon’s Blood. The only difference is whether it’s used by them or not; if not used by them, it is called Demon’s Blood. This is clearly noted in the Shueisha’s data. However, its most critical function isn’t well-documented. More data and information are still needed."

Lin Fei had an intuition that Holy Spirit’s Blood might have been key to the murder of his family in his past life.

In the following two days, Lin You and his group would leave early and return late, looking exhausted each day. It was unknown what kept them so busy.

Alone in the hotel, Lin Fei spent his days practicing Qi Cultivation, and then listening to various pieces of information and data brought by Yuan Yicheng from the Golden Clothes.

His understanding of the Energy Scepter also gradually deepened.

"So, it seems they must be in touch with the people from the Staff of the Earth and convincing him to join them. But it seems they’ve run into some problems," Lin Fei quietly practiced Basic Sword Technique. No matter when, practicing Basic Sword Technique seemed to always bring him some inexplicable enlightenment, these insights accumulating bit by bit, significantly aiding his overall strength. Originally, his time in Sword Dao was very short, but Basic Sword Technique seemed to continuously compensate for this weakness.

The Black Demon Sword slowly sliced through the air, emitting a soft whooshing sound.

Thump, thump, thump, a series of knocks on the door echoed.

Lin Fei slowly concluded his swordplay, sheathed the Black Demon Sword, and walked over to open the door.

It was still Feil, the little girl in a black dress, though she appeared coquettish, Lin Fei could still sense an energy aura that had settled over time. Clearly, her external appearance was not her real age.

"Hello, brother," Feil greeted with a slight bow and considerable grace.

"Hello, I remember you are called Feil, right? Come in," Lin Fei stepped aside to let her through the door.

"Is there something?"

Lin Fei handed Feil a glass of water, watching her sit on the small couch.

"So, we’ve decided to return to our country tomorrow. I was wondering how you are doing here? Would you like to go back with us?"

"Return to our country?" Lin Fei was taken aback, having thought they would need at least a few more days to settle things, but it had happened so soon.

"Yes, if you decide to go back with us, I will book the tickets together."

"Okay, I’ll join as well. By the way, I have a question. It’s about Lin You," Lin Fei paused and then answered.

"Please go ahead," Feil responded seriously.

Lin Fei organized his thoughts and pondered for a moment.

"Actually, Lin You is a psychic, and she had already informed me about it. This trip abroad, are you hiding something related to psychics from me? Maybe I can’t help much with my limited abilities, but I’m confident in offering you some advice. So, I hope you can be honest with me," Lin Fei earnestly said.

Feil also paused, seemingly surprised by Lin Fei’s directness.

"To be honest... I need to discuss this with Lin You. How about this, I’ll go back soon and ask for her opinion, then I’ll give you a response?" Feil wasn’t sure if Lin You would agree. Although she liked Lin Fei, this was ultimately a matter between him and Lin You, not something she, an outsider, could decide.

Lin Fei nodded, "Then I thank you. As a token of my gratitude, please accept this as a gift." He smiled and produced a small, round box from his right hand. The box was wrapped in a black cloth with a few slanted English letters printed on it, giving it an elegant and grand appearance.

Feil took the box, slightly dazed. She could hardly remember how long it had been since she had last received a gift. Lonely and skulking around like a black cat, one contractor after another had died because of her. Every day, she was on alert for unknown attacks from all directions. After hundreds of years of drifting aimlessly without any support, on the brink of life and death, she might recall her loved ones, but no one could help her anymore. Almost all her family were dead, leaving her alone without any purpose.

"Thank you..." she replied softly, afraid that her voice would tremble too loudly for Lin Fei to hear. Suddenly, she felt like crying.

"Don’t mention it." Lin Fei seemed to notice something and gently smiled, reaching out to rub Feil’s head. "In my eyes, you and Lin You are both like my sisters."

Feil comfortably squinted her eyes, almost meowing out loud due to the aftermath of frequently transforming into a cat. Fortunately, she caught herself in time and shyly lowered her head.

"Well then, I must take my leave."

"Okay." Lin Fei smiled as he watched her leave the room with the grace of a noble young lady.

Click.

The door closed.

The smile on Lin Fei’s face slowly faded. That little item was just one of the things he had casually bought at a jewelry store while visiting the Clan Leader’s grand church. It was originally intended for Jiang Nan and Shuang’er, but it suited the current situation perfectly.

"It seems to have worked well," he murmured softly. "The issue now is the lack of Energy Stones. If we had enough Energy Stones, it would be easy to obtain information about the Energy Scepter, Holy Spirit’s Blood, and the Holy See Knight Order."

Suddenly, his expression changed.

A burst of golden patterns flickered across his forehead.

A transparent, diamond-shaped crystal suddenly flew out from between his eyebrows, with a speck of blue flame burning inside it. It was a component of the Divine Artifact from the Dream Eater World. This component had been purifying the True Force within Lin Fei, filtering out the mysterious and unknown dark substance, leaving only the pure True Force to merge into Lin Fei’s True Force Core.

"Here we go again." Lin Fei watched the crystal intently. The last time this happened was in Ping City when the crystal had floated out automatically and abnormalities had occurred.

Although Lin Fei could forcibly suppress it within his body, he preferred to observe the crystal, or rather the Divine Artifact component, more closely. From the first anomaly that triggered the bizarre giant images to the powerful armor in the void of darkness, it had continued to change. Lin Fei faintly realized that the Divine Artifact component seemed to be directly related to the pseudo True Force.

The transparent crystal silently floated, its blue flame continually burning, casting a faint blue glow throughout the room. This spectacle lasted for several seconds before the crystal automatically flew back to Lin Fei’s forehead and hid itself again, making it seem as if nothing had happened.

Regarding the pseudo True Force, Lin Fei always had a feeling that it was safer than the Sword Canon. Moreover, this power was even capable of competing with the Sword Canon. Its origins must be extraordinary. However, despite collecting data, no definitive information had been found, so the matter had been temporarily shelved. Recently, however, it had begun to change again.

"Once this period is over and things settle down, I should start collecting other Divine Artifact components," Lin Fei decided in his heart, clearly sensing that the Divine Artifact components could possibly trigger some special effects of the pseudo True Force.

Collecting didn’t necessarily have to be done by him alone. Now that he had some manpower to mobilize, perhaps it was time to start thinking about forming an organization.

Lin Fei considered his current approximate strength. He possessed B-level peak Combat Power, but utilizing all his forces would mean he couldn’t keep his disguise and would have to act openly. The first tier was naturally the most loyal to him, Yuan Yicheng, Golden Robe. Both of their strengths were around the B-level middle stage. Then came Sis, Xu Ruoruo, Chen Chen, and Red Hand. These people were relatively loyal to him. Then there were Luz Jun, An Ying, and other members of the Shueisha. As for Xiuya and others, their loyalty couldn’t yet be determined; these extreme personalities might actually carry out suicidal moves to eliminate True Force seeds. They must be watched.

If an organization could be established that united the strength of all these people and then absorbed and integrated the True Force seeds from the elite Dream Eaters, the power of this organization would definitely greatly increase.
