Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 11: Chapter 8: Battle of Glory

”Brother Feng, what’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?”

Standing behind Lin Feng, Gao Hai seemed to notice something was off and asked with curiosity.

”It’s nothing, just a bit dizzy.”

”Oh.” Gao Hai turned to look at Song of Solomon, pointed at Lin Feng, and whispered, ”Brother Feng seems to be in a bad mood. Maybe you should go and comfort him.”

In Gao Hai’s eyes, Lin Feng was obviously a bit frustrated and disappointed for being unable to fuse with a Demon Spirit, while Song of Solomon, after fusing with the Enchanting Butterfly, soared into the sky. The comparison couldn’t be more disheartening.

Gao Hai wanted to comfort Lin Feng but didn’t know how to start, so he discreetly hinted to Song of Solomon.

Seeing Lin Feng with a somewhat heavy expression, the Song of Solomon, still in the state of Demon Transformation after fusing with the Enchanting Butterfly, slightly parted her lips, her pink pupils flickering as if she wanted to say something but eventually said nothing.

After waiting in line for more than half an hour, it was finally Lin Feng’s turn. With a trace of anxiety, he stepped forward, only to see the Demon-Revealing Mirror showing nothing.

”Lin Feng, sixteen years old, senior student at Jiangxin Middle School, Seventh Rank Body Cultivator...”

After recording his identity information, Lin Feng was led away.

”The Sealing Evil Seal contains a special space, it seems to block the perception capabilities of the Demon-Revealing Mirror.” Lin Feng, who was previously on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself.

”The Sealing Evil Seal can actually block the Demon-Revealing Mirror; if handled well, this could be a lucrative avenue.”

Lin Feng thought secretly.

Nowadays, all sorts of rare and precious secret skills have nowhere to hide in front of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, and no one dares to take chances. There’s probably only a few who know how to perform the Sealing Evil Seal, let alone that it can block the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

The mere secret skill and information are worth at least tens of millions.

Lin Feng did consider selling this information. However, after some thought, he quickly gave up on this tempting idea.

After all, if something went wrong in the process of selling, it’s highly likely that people would guess he already captured a rare Demon Spirit, and then the Nightmare within him would be in danger.

Moreover, the Sealing Evil Seal requires high levels of control over Spiritual Power and Spiritual Power, and Lin Feng, in his past life, was an Eighth Grade Martial Artist with seasoned experience, only then could he perform it successfully. For a sixteen-year-old peer, it’s simply impossible to release it, let alone imprison a Demon Spirit.

After Lin Feng, it was Gao Hai’s turn for detection, and a robust Ox Demon appeared in the Demon-Revealing Mirror. After Gao Hai came Song of Solomon, who was still maintaining her Demonization state at the time, so everyone presumed she had fused with an Eighth Grade Enchanting Butterfly.

Standing in front of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, the girl enjoyed the envious gazes of others, with a trace of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

In everyone’s view, a beautiful butterfly demon with colorful wings and a mesmerizing aura gradually appeared.

The appearance of this butterfly demon immediately drew exclamations from the crowd.

”Song of Solomon, sixteen years old, senior student at Jiangxin Middle School, Sixth Rank Body Cultivator, refined the Eighth Grade Enchanting Butterfly...”

After recording the information, as Song of Solomon was about to leave, the heads of various martial arts halls and clubs flocked around eagerly, saying, ”Miss Song of Solomon, please join our Ruiyi Club, we have prepared a contract worth millions for you.”

”Miss Ya, our Hurricane Martial Arts Hall is an established hall in Jiang City. As soon as you sign, we can provide you with a residence and a five million new coin joining fee.”

”Song of Solomon, why not join our Lightning Club? We are an A-grade club and have prepared an eight-year, forty million new coin contract for you. Moreover, after you graduate from university, we will prepare a million-worth endorsement contract for you.”

”Our Jazz Club has prepared a ten-year contract worth one hundred million new coins, with other earnings split sixty-forty, you sixty. The conditions are definitely superior, matching those of superstar Wang Jue back then.”

The martial arts halls and clubs all threw olive branches. Although Song of Solomon had never experienced this before, she obviously understood the principle of gauging the market value, cleverly declining to promise anyone. Instead, she politely took everyone’s business cards while smiling, ”Thank you for the attention, I need to go home and discuss it with my family.”

This answer naturally did not satisfy everyone, so some began to raise the prices, but Song of Solomon still did not agree. Although they didn’t get the result they wanted, her respectful attitude was very well-received.

”Song of Solomon, I’m the head of the Jiang City branch of the Juxing Club. We invite you to join!” At this moment, a voice rang out, and everyone suddenly fell silent.

The Juxing Club!

Without mentioning any conditions, just the name is enough.

It’s the club that ranks in the top three of the Glory Battle every year.

”No way, even the Juxing Club has made a move.”

”Damn it, the Juxing Club is involved too. What’s the point of competing? Let’s disperse.”

Though rejected by Song of Solomon, the clubs hadn’t given up and were planning to contact her privately. But upon hearing of the Juxing Club’s recruitment, their thoughts were immediately dispelled.

The Juxing Club can be described as the aristocrat among clubs!

It’s not an exaggeration to say that entering the Juxing Club is more difficult than joining the Three Heroic Academies; even top graduates from the Three Heroic Academies find it challenging to join this club.

Although Song of Solomon’s Eighth Grade Enchanting Butterfly is rare, and its value and special effects are comparable to Ninth Grade Demon Spirits, it shouldn’t catch their eye.

Their target should be the blonde-haired boy and Ye Qiu.

Only talents like them, who have refined the Ninth Grade Six-winged Illusion Python and the Earth Chart’s Thorny Demon Dragon, can be recruited!

”Why are you so excited?”

Lin Feng looked at Gao Hai next to him and found it somewhat amusing. The latter was trembling with excitement, his face, resembling an ox head, flushed red!

Is there a need to be so excited?

It’s not like you were invited?

”You’re asking why I’m so excited? That’s the Juxing Club!”

Gao Hai turned his head, clenched both fists, and said with disbelief.

The year is now 2389. Since 2056, small cracks have appeared all over Earth, and the world began to change.

Initially, these cracks were very small, as thin as paper, so no one knew what existed within them.

However, as the cracks appeared and gradually expanded, they brought an unusual energy.

This energy was named Spiritual Power by humans.

The appearance of Spiritual Power greatly enhanced human physique, reviving martial arts, ushering in an era of universal cultivation, but simultaneously, beasts underwent mutations, or rather, evolution.

Numerous birds and beasts evolved into Demon Beasts, possessing various powerful and bizarre abilities. Compared to humans, Demon Beasts have a natural physical advantage, and driven by the wild nature and bloodlust in their Demon Beast blood, they began attacking humans.

Faced with these formidable Demon Beasts, ordinary firearms had little effect; even tactical nuclear weapons couldn’t kill some Demon Beasts, and might even cause mutations, making them stronger.

Only powerful Martial Artists could kill top-level Demon Beasts, but clearly, the number of Demon Beasts far exceeded that of Martial Artists.

At that time, the sky was obscured, covered by birds, and the ground was stained red with blood. Humans became homeless and prey.

In just three years, the human population plummeted from nine billion to five billion, and some small countries were wiped out. It wasn’t until a visionary Martial Artist integrated a Demon Spirit into the Dantian that humanity avoided extinction.

With the Demon Spirit in their bodies, refining Demon Spirits, they could gain part of the Demon Beasts’ power, mastering the ability to soar through the sky and traverse the earth.

The emergence of Demon Spirit Masters gave humanity a foothold, gradually growing stronger and eventually expelling the Demon Beasts from their homes.

During the disaster, humanity united like never before and finally drove back the Demon Beasts.

Not long after the end of the battle, as the cracks grew larger, allowing people to enter, humanity’s peace was broken.

It turned out that those cracks led to a more vast and mysterious world.

It was named the Otherworld.

The Spiritual Power on Earth was precisely from there, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Otherworld was three times that of Earth, giving birth to various Treasures of Heaven and Earth, along with numerous mysterious Demon Beasts.

For humans, the Otherworld was a natural treasure trove, and thus began the scramble.

Within just ten years, humans descended into chaos, and powerful Martial Artists and Demon Spirit Masters from all countries battled in the Otherworld. War broke out, the world population decreased by another billion, and it almost allowed Demon Beasts to exploit. It resulted in the ”Dawn Battle,” almost leading to human destruction, until Guardian Divine Artifacts were developed, stopping it.

To avoid repeating the past, all nations jointly signed an agreement and created a game.

That game is the Glory Battle.

The ranking in the Glory Battle determines the territorial division in the Otherworld, the supply of resources, the rights to research scientific achievements, and even the diplomatic power between nations, voting rights, and so on.

Because of this, in the present era, actors and singers are just a form of entertainment; the only celebrities are the competitors of Glory.

They are the glory of the cities, the glory of a nation.
