Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Blood Pool Summoning Skill

Translator: 549690339

Upon opening the Book of Demons, Song Jian’s vision was suddenly engulfed by a flaming hell, with horned demons, their bodies ablaze with searing fire, continuously roaring. These demons were in constant battle, and every time a horned demon was slaughtered, scores of other demons would pounce on its corpse, greedily devouring every bit of its flesh.

Observing these fiery horned demons, Song Jian felt as if he could establish some connection with them. At that moment, one of the horned demons seemed to sense something. It lifted its head, looking around with sharp fangs dripping with blood continuously trickling down its lips.

As Song Jian’s attention was drawn to this particular horned demon, a sudden intense pain echoed in his mind, as if he had been brutally hit over the head with a sledgehammer.

Song Jian felt like his soul was about to be torn apart. An ambiguous female voice resonated near his ear, her voice interspersed with bouts of moaning, which sparked a fire in his chest.

“Surrender to me, become my slave- I will bring you infinite pleasure-”

This voice revolved continuously in his mind, causing Song Jian’s consciousness to gradually become confused.

Just then, Song Jian felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, and his consciousness instantly regained clarity. The seductive voice then started to gradually fade away until it completely disappeared.

System: You passed a Spiritual Temptation Test. The probability of comprehending the skill “Demon Summoning Skill” increased by 5%.

Thus, every ten seconds, an enchanting voice would appear in Song Jian’s mind, each time more captivating than the last, and each time the voice was different – sometimes it was a mature woman, sometimes a young girl, and sometimes even a childlike voice.

Sweat started to seep from Song Jian’s forehead. Even though his innate skill “Thick-skinned” had already reached level seven, Song Jian could feel his mental defenses crumbling piece by piece.

System: You passed fifteen Spiritual Temptation Tests. The probability of comprehending the skill “Demon Summoning Skill” increased by 75%.

System: You have understood the skill “Demon Summoning Skill”.

System: This skill is the core skill of the combat profession “Demon Summoner”. Would you like to take up the combat profession “Demon Summoner”? If you choose to take up this profession, the main mission will be immediately completed and you will receive a profession mission.

System: Your attributes and talents conflict with the skill “Demon Summoning Skill”. The Demon Summoning Skill cannot be used. The system is beginning automated adjustments…

A waterfall of system messages flooded in front of Song Jian. After passing fifteen tests the probability climbed up to 75%, he finally comprehended the “Demon Summoning Skill”.

Moreover, this skill was the core profession of the “Demon Summoner”. By mastering this skill, one can directly take up the “Demon Summoner” occupation.

However, the system seemed to have a BUG. Song Jian’s physical attributes severely conflicted with the “Demon Summoning Skill”, causing the game to lag for a while.

In reality, according to the capabilities and talents of Song Jian, he would not be able to comprehend this skill. He would fail by the first or second spiritual temptation test. But due to his innate skill “Thick-skinned” being leveled up to seven, he managed to withstand the initial onslaught of spiritual temptations and unexpectedly comprehend the skill.

However, Song Jian’s physical condition, especially his spiritual and physical attributes, were not suitable for the Demon Summoning Skill. Thus, the skill could not be showcased on his skill tree.

A formerly incompatible physical condition has now resulted in an unsuitable skill and caused a conflict in the game system. For a time, the system could only seek a balance between the two.

Song Jian felt his body unable to move, restrained by a strange energy. In his skill panel, the recent appearance of the words “Demon Summoning Technique” started to fade, as if someone was continuously wiping them away, attempting to erase them from the skill panel.

However, another force was resisting this erasure, causing dazzling bursts of light to explode from the skill panel. Song Jian could only watch helplessly, immobilized.

System: Repairing skill…

System: Repairing skill…

System: Repairing skill…

On Song Jian’s system interface, repeated repair notices started appearing, giving the impression of a system crash.

After a long while, Song Jian finally felt the power that had restricted him begin to dissipate, and he regained control of his body.

Song Jian, without a second thought, quickly opened his skill panel. He wanted to know; was the “Demon Summoning Technique” skill he had just comprehended still there?

Remember, during the recent trial, Song Jian had not only seen the demons inside the Flame Hell. He also saw other realms such as Ice Hell, Abyssal Hell, Shadow Hell, and more. More than a dozen Hells, each with a plethora of terrifyingly powerful demons.

If Song Jian could summon those Hellish demons, his power would skyrocket, and he would be able to explore the deeper parts of the city.

“Blood… Blood Pool Summoning Skill? What is this!” Seeing the original “Demon Summoning Technique” in his skills panel transformed into the “Blood Pool Summoning Skill,” Song Jian had an uneasy feeling.

“Blood Pool Summoning Skill (Active): Level 1, Skill Effect: Use summoning technique to summon the Blood Beasts generated in the castle’s Blood Pool, to control and assist in battles. When the summoned Blood Beast dies, it returns to re-generate in the Blood Pool. You can currently summon Blood Beast – Blood Raven (30). Skill cost: 30 Spirit Points.”

“What, what is this? Demon Summoning Technique for civilians?” In an instant, Song Jian felt a chill in his heart. The once exalted skill had now turned into this. He was reminded of “internet celebrities dying under the spotlight.” “You do know this is fraud, right!”

“The sanctity of private online possessions is inviolable. The once magnificent Demon Summoning Technique is now junk. Does your conscience not hurt?!”

What Song Jian didn’t know was that the game had their reasons to alter the skill—it was for his protection. His current physique wouldn’t withstand the “Demon Summoning Technique.” The instant he tried to use it, he’d be drained dry. Moreover, the demons he summoned would definitely backlash…

“Forget it, at least now 1 can summon the Blood Beasts from the Blood Pool to assist in combat!” Song Jian shook his head and consoled himself. Previously, the Blood Beasts from the Blood Pool could only be used to defend his estate and couldn’t be brought out to battle monsters. Now, he could summon his Blood Ravens to aid in combat, which mattered as well.

“It seems to increase the power of this skill, the level of the Blood Pool must be upgraded. Only when the Blood Pool can produce more powerful Blood Beasts will the power of this skill become fiercer.” Seeing that to upgrade the Blood Pool to level two he needed a hundred Blood Stone Shards, Song Jian frowned.

Until now, he hadn’t found any clues about the Blood Stone Shards. Where could he get these stones?

“Perhaps 1 can use the radio to find some clues about the Blood Stone Shards.”

Song Jian’s eyes lit up, and he turned towards the radio.
