Chapter 118 Possession of the Golden Horned Beast (Another 20,000-word update, please subscribe)

After leaving home, Luo Feng subconsciously went to Jiangnan University.

At this time, Xu Xin and the others were still in class.

He didn't bother Xu Xin, but went to the university's outdoor sports field alone and walked along the track by himself.

Xu Xin was attending a management class taught by an old professor. She would occasionally lower her head to take notes, her expression very serious.

Suddenly, Liu Tingting, who was sitting next to Xu Xin, nudged her hand.

"Hey, Xu Xin~"

Liu Tingting called out in a low voice.

Xu Xin looked at her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Liu Tingting pointed out the window, "It seems your boyfriend has come to see you."

Because Luo Feng had once come to Jiangnan University to look for Xu Xin, Liu Tingting had met Luo Feng.

Luo Feng?

Did he come looking for me?

Xu Xin looked out the window in surprise, following Liu Tingting's directions. She saw a familiar figure walking slowly on the school's plastic track, frowning, as if he was thinking about something.

Xu Xin was startled and subconsciously stood up.

Seeing Xu Xin's actions, the elderly professor on the stage adjusted his glasses in surprise and asked, "Xu Xin, is there a problem?"

Xu Xin blinked and said to the professor on the stage, "Professor Li, my stomach is a little upset..."

"Oh, I see. You can go now."

Professor Li nodded and let Xu Xin walk out of the classroom.

Liu Tingting clenched her fist at Xu Xin as she left and mouthed, "Good luck."

Xu Xin's mind is completely occupied with Luo Feng right now. Although she doesn't know what Luo Feng is thinking, she knows he definitely needs her by his side.

She didn't see Liu Tingting's movements at all. After leaving the classroom, she started running towards the school's outdoor sports field.

Luo Feng was walking on the plastic track.

He lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something, his handsome eyebrows furrowed together, looking very troubled.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Just then, a panting voice rang in his ear.

Luo Feng looked up and saw Xu Xin leaning on her knees, standing in front of him, panting heavily.

"Xu Xin..."

He called her name.

Xu Xin looked up, a bright smile spreading across her face, which was slightly sweaty, and asked Luo Feng, "What brings you here?"

"I……"

Luo Feng opened his mouth, as if to say something, but in the end, he said, "Walk with me for a while."

"it is good."

Seeing that Luo Feng's mood was a bit off, Xu Xin stepped forward, took his hand, and led him slowly through Jiangnan University.

The two walked through the peaceful and tranquil university campus.

"It's so nice... to be able to walk around the university so quietly."

Luo Feng looked at the sunlight filtering through the trees and said with a relaxed smile.

"Mm." Xu Xin nodded, feeling the warmth from Luo Feng's large hand, and said, "Actually, I should thank you all."

"What?"

"It is because of you martial artists that we were able to resist those terrible monsters, and my classmates and I were able to sit in the classroom and attend classes peacefully."

Xu Xin smiled and tilted her head to look at Luo Feng, "Without you all, where would we find such a peaceful and tranquil environment? That's why I said I wanted to thank you!"

She pulled Luo Feng to sit down on a stone bench by the roadside. "Let's sit here for a while."

Luo Feng put his arm around Xu Xin and leaned back on the stone chair.

A gentle breeze blows from afar, soft and warm.

Xu Xin leaned against Luo Feng's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Feng spoke, "Xu Xin..."

"Yes. I'm here," Xu Xin murmured in response.

Luo Feng looked down at her face and asked softly, "Will you always be here?"

Xu Xin looked up at Luo Feng, gazing into his bright eyes, and said with a smile, "Of course, I'll always be here. What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Xu Xin held Luo Xia's large hands in her own, and said in a firm and earnest tone, "Although I may not be able to help you much, I can be a good listener, stand by your side, and face everything with you!"

"Xu Xin, you're so good..." Luo Feng stared at the girl intently, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

After a slight pause, Xu Xin did not refuse. She tilted her head back and indulged in her boyfriend's intense tenderness.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Xu Xin, her face flushed, leaned against Luo Feng's chest, breathing softly, "I... I almost couldn't breathe..."

Luo Feng held Xu Xin in his arms, a smile on his face, but that smile held many complex emotions. He suddenly asked, "Xu Xin, if one day I have to leave, will you wait for me?"

"leave?"

Xu Xin suddenly looked up, staring intently at Luo Feng. "You're leaving?"

"Um... I mean, hypothetically." Luo Feng slightly averted his gaze, avoiding Xu Xin's eyes. "If one day I leave, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back, would you... would you wait for me?"

Xu Xin looked at Luo Feng, just staring at him.

Suddenly, she leaned back into Luo Feng's arms and whispered, "Of course I will wait for you. As long as you are alive, I will keep waiting, even when I get old and die, I will still wait for you."

Her tone was soft, but it was full of determination.

Luo Feng was deeply moved, "Xu Xin..."

He took out the Eternal Love perfume and looked at Xu Xin, saying, "This is for you."

The Eternal Love looked very beautiful, and Xu Xin was happy and delighted.

Although Luo Feng would bring her gifts when he came to see her, he had never given her anything with special meaning, such as a necklace or a ring.

"This is……"

"It's called Eternal Love. I'll put it on you. No matter what happens in the future, don't take it off, because it can protect you."

As Luo Feng explained, he placed the Eternal Love pendant around Xu Xin's neck.

Xu Xin looked down at the small silver tag hanging around her neck, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "Yes, I won't take it off. Just for showering..."

Luo Feng smiled and said, "Its material is special, so you can wear it while showering without any problems. Therefore, you can't take it off, understand?"

"Okay, I understand."

Xu Xin nodded and nestled happily in Luo Feng's arms.

……

Inside the gravity chamber, Rorschach sat cross-legged on a cushion, his consciousness already inside the virtual space created by Babata.

At this time, he was learning to comprehend the Soul Imprint, wanting to develop the kind of Soul Imprint he envisioned that could enslave soul imprints.

Babata sat to the side, looking somewhat angry.

The egg of the Golden Horned Beast—what an incredible opportunity!

An opportunity that countless powerful beings in the universe desire but cannot obtain is now right in front of Luo Feng and Luo Xia, yet they do not want it!

She's so angry!

At this moment, Babata suddenly sensed the situation outside and discovered that Luo Feng had returned. She couldn't help but say to Luo Xia, "Your older brother is back. Let's go out and see what he's thinking. If your older brother isn't willing either, then just enslave this golden-horned behemoth!"

Luo Xia nodded, closed the Soul Imprint Book in his hand, and exited the virtual space with Babata.

Upon seeing Luo Feng, Babata immediately asked, "Luo Feng, what's your decision? This Soul Seal can't keep sealing this Golden Horned Beast's egg indefinitely. You don't have much time to think about it."

After Luo Xia broke the power of the golden pattern, the golden pattern on the eggshell did not completely disappear, but was slowly repaired.

Once the body is fully restored, the effect of the sealed soul imprint will disappear.

At the same time, the golden-horned behemoth inside the egg will immediately hatch.

At that time, it will be quite difficult to either possess or enslave someone.

Some people might say...

Can't we keep using the Soul Sealing Seal to keep the Golden Horned Beast's egg sealed forever?

This method is certainly feasible.

However, the Golden Horned Beast will also develop resistance during this process.

The power to seal the soul imprint will only weaken over time.

Ultimately, it had no effect on the Golden Horned Beast.

Furthermore, if the Golden Horned Beast is sealed for too long, preventing it from being born smoothly, it will die inside the egg and become a stillborn.

Luo Feng looked at Babata and said, "I've made up my mind. I'll possess this golden-horned behemoth!"

Babata looked at Luo Feng in surprise and asked again, "Are you really sure?"

Luo Feng looked at Babata and Luo Xia and said:

"Of course. I've already thought it through."

"Just like you said, Babata, my talent is limited. If I want to keep up with Xia in the future and protect Xu Xin and the others, the only way right now is to possess someone else's body."

On the way back, Luo Feng thought:

What if one day, an even greater crisis befalls Earth?

Neither his strength nor Luo Xia's strength could protect the Earth, nor could they protect his parents and Xu Xin.

What should he do then?

If he were to recall then his decision not to possess the Golden Horned Beast today, would he regret it?

After thinking it over for a long time, he knew he would definitely regret it!

I regret not possessing the Golden Horned Beast!

But by then, will it be of any use to regret it?

It was this idea that made Luo Feng make up his mind.

To protect my family and Xu Xin, I must become stronger!

Even if becoming stronger means he'll drift further away from his family and loved ones, he doesn't want to look back on this day one day and feel immense regret!

Seeing that Luo Feng had made up his mind, Babata was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Now that you've made up your mind, let's begin preparing for the possession!"

Luo Feng nodded and looked at Luo Xia, saying, "Xia, when I'm not around, you'll have to take care of Mom, Dad, and Ahua."

Luo Xia said, "Brother, you're making it sound like a life-or-death separation. You're possessing a body, not dying. Besides, as the ancients said, 'When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up.' Possessing the Golden Horned Beast might bring you unexpected surprises."

"Luo Feng, now raise your spirit to its peak state. Once you are ready, use the Body Seizure Technique directly. Luo Xia and I will protect you and prevent anyone from disturbing you."

Babata paused, then said, "Rorschach has already sealed the consciousness and soul of the golden-horned giant beast hatchling in the egg with a soul-sealing seal. If you want to possess it, it will be very easy and simple."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng immediately sat down cross-legged in front of the black giant egg and began to adjust his mental state to reach its peak.

Babata looked at Luo Xia and said, "From now on, we can't let anyone disturb Luo Feng. If anyone comes looking for Luo Feng, you'll have to deal with them."

"No problem." Rorschach nodded.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Feng said, "Babata, I'm ready."

"Then let's just possess her!"

Babata said.

Luo Feng nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and channeled his mental energy into the black giant egg...

Inside the black giant egg, he sensed the embryonic form of a life.

It looks a bit like a lion, but it has wings and is covered in scales, exuding a terrifying and fierce aura.

This nascent life form is currently bound by chains, its consciousness dormant, as if it were dead.

Luo Feng extended his mental energy toward the head of the golden-horned beast.

The young golden-horned behemoth remained motionless and unresponsive.

However, the next second, Luo Feng was stunned. "The Golden Horned Beast's sea of ​​consciousness isn't in its head?"

Generally speaking, the sea of ​​consciousness in life is located in the head.

However, given the vastness of the universe, it's not entirely surprising that some beings' consciousness doesn't reside in their heads.

Luo Feng composed himself and sent his mental energy down along the young body of the Golden Horned Beast.

Finally, inside the Golden Horned Beast's body.

Luo Feng used his mental power to discover a transparent crystal ball, about the size of a walnut, that emitted a golden light.

This crystal sphere has incredibly intricate golden patterns on it.

Its complexity is even more mysterious than the gold patterns on the eggshell.

These gold patterns radiate rays of golden light.

"The soul of the Golden Horned Beast should be inside this crystal sphere..." Luo Feng pondered, and began to try to break through the crystal sphere's defenses with his mental power.

However, this crystal sphere has extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Luo Feng's mental energy, which had been condensed into needles, was unable to break through the crystal sphere's defense!

As he attempted to break through the crystal sphere defenses within the Golden Horned Beast, the beast began to show signs of resurgence.

The bound larva stirred.

In the real world, Luo Xia and his companions also saw the black eggshell move.

Babata's expression was grave. "The Golden Horned Beast's larva has begun to challenge the power sealing the soul imprint. Luo Feng must hurry, otherwise, once the Golden Horned Beast's larva completely breaks the seal, it will be impossible to possess it as easily as it is now! And it will also increase many dangers!"

Rorschach's heart skipped a beat, and he asked Babata, "Babata, can I help with this possession process?"

Babata shook his head. "Possession can only be done by oneself; outsiders cannot help."

"I see..." Luo Xia looked at Luo Feng, who was sitting cross-legged on the black giant egg. "Then it's up to Big Brother himself."

The inner world of the Golden Horned Beast.

Luo Feng was still trying to break through the crystal sphere's defense, but the crystal sphere's defense was incredibly strong, and his mental power was simply unable to penetrate it.

"What should I do?" Luo Feng instinctively had the thought of giving up. "Should I give up?"

But he quickly dismissed the thought as soon as it crossed his mind!

Do not!

We've come this far, how can we give up!

I must keep getting stronger!

Not only as Xia's older brother, he didn't want to fall behind, but also because he wanted to protect his family and Xu Xin!

Babata said that the universe is vast and extremely dangerous!

Without sufficient power to protect Earth and our families, perhaps one day Earth will become a slave planet to other aliens!

He would never allow his parents, brother, or lover to become someone else's slave!

Luo Feng's eyes hardened once again.

"Since ordinary mental energy cannot break through the crystal sphere's defenses, let's use the secret technique of Meteorite Star - Soul Blade Slash."

The Soul Blade Slash was obtained by Hu Yanbo by chance in a ruin. It is an extremely powerful mental attack technique, and there are no special requirements for its cultivation.

Whenever he had free time, Luo Feng would study this secret technique.

When unleashed at this moment, immense spiritual power instantly condensed into a large sword.

"go!"

Luo Feng used his mental power to form a large sword, slashing towards the crystal sphere of the golden-horned beast.

hum!

The Soul Blade struck the crystal sphere's defense, and finally, crack crack... In Luo Feng's perception, the crystal sphere's defense was broken!

Luo Feng's mental strength was already quite strong.

In addition, the Golden Horned Beast's larvae were sealed by Luo Xia's soul imprint at this time, and its consciousness was dormant. The crystal sphere's spontaneous defense was not particularly sturdy.

It was immediately cut open by Luo Feng's powerful soul blade strike.

The opening wasn't large, but the gap was enough for Luo Feng's mental energy to penetrate it.

After Luo Feng's mental energy entered the crystal sphere, he sensed the soul of the Golden Horned Beast cub.

He was slightly surprised, "Even before hatching, the larvae already possess such a powerful soul?"

Luo Feng didn't waste too much time being surprised.

He immediately used his mental power as a guide to allow his soul to emerge from his human body and enter the crystal sphere of the Golden Horned Beast.

"Possession!"

Luo Feng used a secret technique to directly devour the soul of the Golden Horned Beast cub!

……

The real world.

Luo Xia suddenly noticed that his elder brother's seated body had lost its life force and slumped to the side. He quickly stepped forward to support Luo Feng and asked Babata:

"Babata, did my brother successfully possess someone?"

Babata stared at the golden-horned behemoth's egg, various data streams flashing in her eyes. After a long while, she said uncertainly, "It should have succeeded, right?"

Rorschach frowned. "What do you mean by 'should'?"

Babata said, "Possession takes time... and whether it was successful can only be determined once the golden-horned beast inside the egg hatches."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia said, "If Big Brother fails to possess the body, then what hatches will be a real Golden Horned Beast... We can't leave the egg here any longer; we need to find a safe and secluded location."

Babata thought for a moment, pulled up a map, and said, "Let's go to Fog Island. Although the Beast King is still there, the island is shrouded in fog. Even if the Golden Horned Beast hatches, it won't be noticed."

After thinking for a moment, Luo Xia decided that Kirishima was a pretty good location and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's set off!"

He directly stored Luo Feng's body into his storage space, then took the black giant egg onto the intelligent fighter jet and flew towards Mist Island!

The fighter jets were very fast, and in less than an hour they arrived over Kirishima.

The area has not yet been destroyed by the war; thick fog shrouds the islands and lakes, obscuring the view.

Luo Xia released his aura, causing the fighter jet to fly directly over the lake and land on the island in the middle of the lake.

Sensing Luo Xia's terrifying aura, the monsters in the lake dared not come out to cause trouble. They huddled in the water, watching the fighter jets fly by.
