Chapter 557: Chapter 300: Blood Lizard Totem, Yang Feng, the Way of the Totem!
"Hm? Within this totem, there’s actually a broken soul entity!"
As Lu Sheng entered the totem, he could distinctly sense a blood-red lizard quietly curled up in the totem’s space.
The blood-red lizard was extremely dim, as if it might completely dissipate at any moment.
In fact, the very moment Lu Sheng entered the totem space, the aura that emanated made the blood-red lizard grow even dimmer.
"So... the so-called Totem Power is actually the soul entity within the totem, granting it to those beings who practice totem techniques?"
Lu Sheng looked at the blood-red lizard in front of him, a faint light shimmering in his eyes, and already had a general understanding of the totem.
"This blood-red lizard would have completely dissipated soon even without my arrival, so... replacement is in order!"
Lu Sheng quickly made a decision in his heart.
Since the totem world revolves around totems, and now he has entered the totem space, he might as well replace it and become the totem himself!
"In this way, becoming the totem soul entity could greatly reduce the world’s hostility towards me in the totem world, and I could also enhance my power by drawing on the beings who practice the totem techniques I’ve created!"
Lu Sheng’s eyes sparkled, and with a gentle wave of his hand, he utterly crushed the blood-red lizard soul entity.
"A lizard totem, huh... a familiar creature indeed!"
Lu Sheng chuckled with a sigh, having practiced Celestial Demon Technique with its myriad avatars, giving him a good understanding of various forms of beings.
"Now... just waiting for this fellow to wake up!"
Lu Sheng’s gaze flickered lightly, looking through the totem at the young man clinging tightly to it.
At this moment, the young man, his eyes closed, lay unconscious deep in the forest.
Fortunately, the energy from Lu Sheng’s falling Martial God Blood Stone had scared away all nearby creatures, giving the young man time to recover.
As time slowly passed, who knows how many days went by. While Lu Sheng came to understand this world, he also began exploring the practice of totem techniques.
Based on the essence of a seventh-tier Cosmic Life form, and given Lu Sheng had entered the late seventh tier, even the Dao Insights were close to being elevated to the third level.
Therefore, he quickly understood the practice model of totem techniques.
He even formed ideas about creating his own totem techniques.
A few days later, the young man finally woke up slowly from his coma, and the first thing he did upon waking was check the totem clutched in his arms.
Seeing the totem was still there, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
He then slowly rose, looking around with a puzzled expression: "Strange, I distinctly remember being hunted by the Zhao Family. Why am I now the only one left, where are the Zhao Family people..."
The young man had traces of confusion in his eyes.
But after pondering for a while and failing to recall previous details, he shook his head.
"Oh well, just surviving is good enough!"
"As long as I survive, I have the means for revenge!"
A blaze of revenge surged in the young man’s eyes at that moment.
Lu Sheng watched the young man quietly, and with the observations over the past days and the previous black-clad pursuers, he roughly understood the young man’s circumstances.
Most likely, the young man’s family force was invaded by other family forces, leaving the young man as the last member.
After all...
In the totem world, totems are extremely important. No family force would easily let someone escape with a totem.
Furthermore, the totem is broken, making it easy for Lu Sheng to discern what happened to the young man.
"It’s just..."
The young man looked at the totem, complexity rising in his eyes.
"In the end, I’m just a failure who can’t communicate with the totem!"
He spoke, his eyes gradually showing signs of despair.
In the totem world, communicating with totems is an essential task for those who practice totem techniques. Only through communication can one obtain powerful totem techniques.
Only then can you walk the path of cultivation.
If you can’t communicate with the totem, you’re doomed to not be recognized by the Totem Spirit and can’t practice totem techniques, naturally being labeled a failure by those practitioners!
Therefore, after hearing the young man’s words, Lu Sheng pondered for a moment and finally decided to establish a connection with the young man.
After all, in the totem world, since Lu Sheng chose to become a totem, if he wants to get stronger, he needs others to regard him as the Totem Spirit and enhance his power through the rituals and sacrifices conducted by practitioners of the totem techniques.
Hence... he must establish a connection with the young man before him.
Especially since the totem Lu Sheng resides in is broken, only someone like the young man could still keep faith in him.
If it were any other creature in the Totem World, they would probably look down on a broken totem like this.
"Boy!"
Lu Sheng’s voice suddenly echoed in the young man’s ear.
At the moment he heard this voice, the young man’s body trembled slightly, and then he showed an excited expression.
"Lord Blood Lizard, is that you? Have you established a connection with me?"
Just as Lu Sheng had seen in the totem space before, the family power the young man was part of worshipped the blood lizard.
And the Lord Blood Lizard in the young man’s words was exactly the same blood lizard spirit form that Lu Sheng had seen earlier, which was about to dissipate.
Therefore, in the young man’s eyes, Lu Sheng was the blood lizard.
"Yes!"
Lu Sheng spoke blandly.
"The fall of the Yang Family was something I hadn’t anticipated. I was attacked by other Totem Spirits back then and fell into slumber. Otherwise... how could just the Zhao Family annihilate the Yang Family?"
When Lu Sheng dispelled the blood lizard spirit form, he had already extracted the memories from it.
Therefore, he was aware of the situation with the Yang Family at the time.
Listening to Lu Sheng’s words, the young man’s body couldn’t help but tremble slightly, and he said solemnly: "Lord Blood Lizard, you mean... besides the Zhao Family, other Totem Clans also took action?"
The young man’s heart couldn’t help but fill with despair. With just the Zhao Family alone, they were capable of contending with the Yang Family at their peak, let alone when other Totem Clans also targeted the Yang Family at that time.
In such a situation, how difficult would it be for him to seek revenge?
"Hmph! Sooner or later, I will make them pay their blood debts with blood!"
Lu Sheng snorted coldly and spoke with feigned anger.
Then Lu Sheng looked towards the young man and slowly asked, "What is your name?"
The young man was taken aback, then quickly said, "Lord Blood Lizard, the boy’s name is Yang Feng, and I am the seventy-second direct descendant of the Yang Family!"
As he spoke, Yang Feng gave a bitter smile: "You could say the boy is not talented enough. In the last sacrifice, I couldn’t establish a connection with you, my Lord!"
Listening to Yang Feng, Lu Sheng’s eyes flickered slightly, and then he slowly spoke: "Are you willing to cultivate the Totem Technique?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Feng’s entire body trembled slightly. He then drew a cold breath, and a touch of excitement appeared on Yang Feng’s face.
"Do you mean... you’re willing to teach me the Totem Technique?"
At this moment, Yang Feng’s heart was filled with immense excitement.
It’s important to note that he previously couldn’t establish a connection with the blood lizard, so naturally, he couldn’t obtain the Totem Technique from the blood lizard and become a formidable Totem practitioner.
Now hearing the blood lizard’s words, he was understandably very excited.
"Considering the current situation, you understand now; you couldn’t establish a connection with me back then only because there were too many more outstanding than you. But now... you’re the only choice!"
Lu Sheng’s words made Yang Feng give a bitter smile.
Even though Lu Sheng’s blunt truth made Yang Feng feel a bit helpless, he still felt excited.
Admittedly, Lu Sheng mentioned that his talent wasn’t very strong, but as long as he could cultivate the Totem Technique, there was hope for revenge.
In this light, Yang Feng could hardly contain his excitement.
"Please, teach me, my Lord!"
Yang Feng took a deep breath, then reverently placed the broken totem in front of him. From his chest, he pulled out a small knife and gently sliced across his wrist.
Blood began to drip from the wound.
Under Yang Feng’s control, the blood dripped onto the totem, and in an instant, a faint red glow flickered across the totem.
The blood was unexpectedly absorbed directly by the totem.
When the blood entered the totem space, Lu Sheng immediately felt as if there were some kind of rule present.
As Yang Feng’s blood fell into the totem space, it nourished Lu Sheng’s Power of the Soul, and at that moment, Lu Sheng’s Power of the Soul even gained a certain degree of enhancement.
"So this is the cultivation rule of the Totem World..."
"Blood sacrifice... faith?"
Lu Sheng silently felt the operating principles of the totem space and fell into contemplation.
When the sacrificial power within the blood was completely devoured by Lu Sheng, a formidable aura emerged from Lu Sheng’s body.
The powerful Power of the Soul surged forth and, in an instant, filled the entire totem space.
"My current Power of the Soul... has actually reached the first tier?"
