Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 151: Chapter 133: The Throne Challenge Ends

”How did Dong Yunan end up on the First Throne? Isn’t that courting disaster?”

”It’s so obvious, yet you can’t see it. The last bird catches the worm; Little Sister Dong is the biggest winner in this throne challenge!”

”They’re dominating! Lin Feng and his team are aiming for the top three spots!”

When Dong Yunan took the First Throne, all the spectators were momentarily stunned, then immediately erupted in disbelief.

To the audience present, the annual throne challenge at Red Cloud University is a visual feast akin to Awakening Day, dazzling with stars.

On this day, many schools temporarily suspend classes to organize students to watch the event together.

The same goes for many companies.

On this day, every bar in the city is without exception, packed to capacity.

Even in broad daylight, those who can’t watch live gather in bars, drinking and loudly chatting, occasionally bursting into curses and exclamations.

This year, the atmosphere within the bars is especially fervent; the cheers are like a tidal wave, seemingly ready to burst through the roof, with drinks flowing continuously. The owner’s mouth is twisted into a grin.

Since the first throne challenge over twenty or thirty years ago, no edition has ever been so thrilling with such unexpected twists and turns.

Every time they think it’s about to end, something shocking occurs.

Undoubtedly, this is the most spectacular throne challenge in history!

Within the Martial Arts Arena!

”Lin Feng, Yun Kai, I admit you are strong, but aren’t you being too domineering?”

Ye Ming flapped wings like a demon in mid-air, his expression exceedingly grim.

At this moment, Lin Feng stood on the Second Throne, occupying the position originally his.

Meanwhile, Yun Kai occupied the Third Throne, emitting golden brilliance like gold, his body slightly tense, ready to act at any moment. Dong Yunan sat high on the First Throne above, facing his gaze without fear.

Faced with Lin Feng or Yun Kai individually, Ye Ming lacked the certainty of victory. As for Dong Yunan, he could easily defeat her, but with Dong Yunan on the First Throne and Lin Feng and Yun Kai flanking her in protection, there’s no reaching her unless he defeats both.

”It’s less than five minutes left!”

Lin Feng glanced at the clock on the platform, reminding him.

Less than five minutes remain until the throne challenge concludes, which is increasingly disadvantageous for Ye Ming.

To Lin Feng, Ye Ming’s words are laughable.

The throne challenge has no rules whatsoever.

Initially, Ye Ming and Deng Chen had the most numbers, persistently expelling others through sheer force, leaving many originally qualified contenders helplessly eliminated. Isn’t this also a kind of domineering?

”Do you truly think Ye Ming can be bullied like Yun Lin?”

Ye Ming paused for a moment, speaking coldly.

His originally dark red pupils exuded a hint of killing intent, his pale horns curving backward atop his head slightly flickered with red light, and a strange ripple appeared, with the air tinged with a faint scent of blood.

”Brother Ming, don’t worry, we’ve got your back!”

Ye Ming’s two team members also cheered aloud, ready for battle in their Demon Transformation state.

Even if Lin Feng and Yun Kai are indeed powerful, possessing the capability to fight two at once, Yun Kai’s Soul Power is severely depleted, Lin Feng has deployed two Third Grade Martial Skills, and his Spiritual Power is limited, with Dong Yunan lacking strong combat strength.

Three against three, there’s still hope.

Lin Feng remained silent, his gaze fearless.

Ye Ming fell silent; as a First Grade Martial Artist and a genius who refined the Earth Chart Demon Spirit, he never expected the situation now.

His target was always the First Throne, with top three being his baseline.

Previously, faced with Lin Feng’s strength and intimidation, he didn’t wish to become enemies, having withdrawn from the competition for the First Throne, yet never expected Lin Feng to pursue the matter so ruthlessly!

”Idiot!”

Deng Chen sat on the Fifth Throne, and upon witnessing Ye Ming’s indecision, his previously depressed mood improved considerably.

If only Ye Ming had agreed to his proposal, two powerhouses united, with their strength and team, he on the First Throne, Ye Ming on the Second Throne, who could be their rival, preventing being defeated one by one.

Now look, no one can have the First Throne.

Because of Lin Feng, they’ve been directly kicked out of the top three spots!

At this moment, Deng Chen harbored no sympathy, but rather some schadenfreude.

”Beautiful, you’re up!”

Bai Ji seemed to have chosen his target, his gaze landing on Yun Lin.

If he can’t get into the top three, fourth it is.

Amidst the audience’s terrified stares, nail-sized, extremely thin and elongated insects slowly crawled out from his ear.

In the camera’s close-up, these insects have six legs beneath their abdomens, each ending in claw pads resembling pincers, with dense, stiff leg hairs. Their backs sport a pair of wings black as ink, their entire bodies dark, gleaming with a metallic sheen, their eyes vividly green, making them intimidating, with needle-like mouthpieces at their mouths that chill the heart.

”Truly vile!”

Many spectators visibly shuddered, feeling a bout of nausea, thankful they hadn’t eaten, or else they might have truly vomited. It’s hard to imagine how someone’s body could harbor so many poisonous insects?

Can you handle this?

”Do you all really think you can bully me so easily?”

Seeing Bai Ji choosing her, and recalling how Ye Ming had previously used her as an example, Yun Lin’s beautiful face was filled with anger. Since when did she become everyone’s punching bag? First Lin Feng, now Bai Ji as well.

”Poisonous Sting Fly!”

Yun Lin’s pupils slightly contracted, she recognized the strange insect as well.

Although the Poisonous Sting Fly is only a First Grade poisonous insect, it flies incredibly fast, with a body as hard as iron, possessing strong penetration. Combined with the toxin it holds inside, it can release poison through its needle-like mouthpiece in just one second.

Bai Ji released at least twenty of them. If not careful, even a Third Grade Martial Artist couldn’t withstand them.

Many in the audience gasped in admiration, truly, the Bai Family’s monsters could invoke fear!

”Damn monster, go to hell!”

Yun Lin was filled with fury, yelling in anger. Her entire body trembled slightly, her expression twisted, as if enduring great pain. Meanwhile, the silver scales on her forehead glimmered like starlight, shining with a faint glow.

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

But just as Yun Lin was about to erupt, Bai Ji suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked towards Lin Feng and Ye Ming, and a peculiar smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

”Ye Ming, need my help?”

Bai Ji shouted loudly to Ye Ming in the air.

There were only three minutes left until the end of the throne challenge, yet for some reason, he seemed not the least bit anxious.

It was as if he didn’t care about the throne challenge at all.

”Sure, if you’re coming, do it quickly. I’m just afraid you don’t have the guts!”

Ye Ming turned around, his gaze lingered slightly on the twenty or so Poisonous Sting Flies in front of Bai Ji, then he laughed loudly as well.

Facing Lin Feng and Yun Kai, even with two support members, he lacked confidence.

But with Bai Ji joining, the outcome of this battle was still undetermined.

”Lin Feng, how about I join you?”

Just as Bai Ji and Ye Ming were about to unite, Yun Lin’s eyes moved, she stood out and asked Lin Feng with a smile.

But Ye Ming’s face turned gloomy, and Bai Ji’s gaze became colder.

Lin Feng glanced at Yun Lin, knowing her intentions. If he agreed, he and Yun Kai would naturally have to do their utmost to protect Yun Lin’s position.

”Lin Feng kicked you off the Third Throne, and you still want to join him? Why not join us, and we’ll return the Third Throne to you!”

Before Lin Feng could respond, Ye Ming quickly suggested.

Yun Lin smiled alluringly, not directly refusing, but looking at Lin Feng.

At this point, Lin Feng remained composed and showed no fear of Ye Ming’s suggestion.

Although the Third Throne is indeed tempting, Yun Lin believed that Lin Feng and Yun Kai, having the courage to do this, must have considered the consequences. With only three minutes left, it was better not to take this risk.

Besides, compared to Bai Ji and Ye Ming, she was more reluctant to be enemies with Yun Kai and Lin Feng. In terms of strength and potential, Lin Feng and Yun Kai were superior.

”Alright, you’re in!” Lin Feng didn’t refuse Yun Lin, nodding his head in agreement.

”How about including me?”

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Deng Chen stood up, also smiling as he asked.

With Lin Feng, the three others, and Yun Lin forming an alliance, it was clear Ye Ming and Bai Ji couldn’t be contenders. Knowing they were outmatched, they would seek other positions, likely targeting his Fifth Throne.

Facing one-on-one was no problem, but there was a high chance the two would team up against him.

”Sure.”

Lin Feng smiled; adding another one was naturally better, there was no reason to refuse.

”Great, just great!”

Seeing Lin Feng’s five-person alliance, Ye Ming laughed angrily. Time was slipping away, he wouldn’t linger further, exchanged a glance with Bai Ji, and dashed for the Sixth Throne, while Bai Ji went for the Seventh Throne.

The boy sitting on the Sixth Throne was named Feng Hao.

The one on the Seventh Throne was named Wei Ning.

Being in these positions, their strength was naturally strong. The two cursed loudly in their hearts, but facing Ye Ming and Bai Ji, who were qualified to contend for the First Throne, they had no intention of resisting. They quickly chose their new targets.

Feng Hao chose the Ninth Throne.

Wei Ning chose the Tenth Throne.

Both seemed determined to secure a spot in the top ten, facing their challengers, the holders of the Ninth and Tenth Thrones had no intention of showing fear or backing down. The battle erupted.

”Dong!”

Three minutes later, as the bell rang, it signaled the end of the throne challenge.

Feng Hao successfully challenged and took the Ninth Throne, whereas Wei Ning failed, sustaining serious injuries, and lay on the ground, looking at Lin Feng’s group with unwillingness but helplessness.

This was the unpredictability and cruelty of the throne challenge.
