Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 152: Chapter 134: Keep Up

Just before the bell rang, Lin Feng and Dong Yunan quickly switched seats, with Lin Feng returning to the First Throne.

Amidst the thunderous cheers, the Throne Challenge officially concluded.

A hundred thousand spectators stood up, applauding and cheering for the geniuses who contributed to this visual feast, with most of them looking at Lin Feng and Yun Kai with a hint of shock and admiration in their eyes.

Lin Feng and Yun Kai, with their demon fiend-like talents, left all the audience in awe and their blood boiling.

The two sat on the First Throne and Third Seat with indisputable strength, and then, with a domineering attitude, forcibly secured the precious Second Seat for their teammate Dong Yunan.

The three-member team of Lin Feng, Yun Kai, and Dong Yunan became the biggest winners of this Throne Challenge.

In the eyes of the audience, Bai Ji, Ye Ming, and Deng Chen, who were expected to contend for the First Throne, were surprisingly left out of the top three, against many people’s expectations.

”It’s finally over.....”

Many freshmen sitting on the thrones finally breathed a sigh of relief, but their mouths curving with a faint bitterness, devoid of much joy.

Because the entire focus was on Lin Feng and Yun Kai, with hardly anyone paying attention to them.

It wasn’t just them, even Bai Ji and the other pre-race favorites were no exception.

Each of them was a proud child of heaven, showing exceptional talent from a young age and always being the focus of elders, classmates, and teachers, but at this moment, they were overshadowed and became mere foils!

Still, dispensable foils.

”Just you wait.....”

Ye Ming looked at Lin Feng and Yun Kai, with a hint of hatred in his eyes, at this moment, he felt like sitting on pins and needles, just wanted to leave here. To others, the precious Sixth Seat was a disgrace to him, having abandoned the special recruitment of the Great Wall to come to Red Cloud, precisely because of his father.

”Father....”

In the audience, Ye Ming found the spot where his family was sitting.

He glanced at his father, and the cold and disappointed look in his father’s eyes made his heart tremble slightly, while the family members who came to cheer him on were a bit silent, their faces showing undisguised disappointment.

Indeed, they should be disappointed!

After spending half a month and such a high cost gathering so many resources, occupying such an advantageous position, they couldn’t even make it into the top five.

On the podium.

”The talent and strength of this batch of freshmen are clearly stronger than previous ones!”

A middle-aged mentor said, with a tone of amazement and relief.

Red Cloud’s reputation has never matched the Great Wall or Demon Star, if not for being the top military and political academy and possessing its uniqueness, which made some outstanding sons and daughters of military and political families choose to join Red Cloud, otherwise, with its foundation and reputation, it truly wouldn’t be worthy to be on par with the other two Hero Academies.

Today Lin Feng and Yun Kai’s brilliance was too dazzling, making others seem somewhat overshadowed, but in fact, there were quite a few freshmen with potential not to be underestimated, they just lacked experience and were still very immature, unable to exert their true strength.

And these people, as long as they undergo training for half a year to a year, will undergo an astonishing transformation.

Many students who are silent in the early stages explode with striking brilliance in the later stages, especially for Demon Spirit Masters.

In the early stage, those with high refinement levels of Demon Spirits enjoy an absolute advantage, but when Demon Spirits grow, with different choices and training directions, the coordination of Demon Spirit Skills, this advantage will gradually be narrowed, and even completely surpassed.

”Indeed!”

Quite a few mentors nodded in agreement: ”Speaking of which, part of the credit should go to Lin Feng and Yun Kai!”

Lin Feng and his two friends boldly announced joining Red Cloud, attracting the attention of many prodigious talents across the nation.

To many, even the top scorer Lin Feng and half-beastman Yun Kai rejected the Great Wall and Demon Star to join Red Cloud, that Red Cloud must possess some attractive qualities, many decided to seriously explore Red Cloud, and eventually, some chose to join.

This is one of the reasons Red Cloud offered a scholarship worth a billion.

”Bold and wise, indeed commendable.”

Bu Zheng rarely opened his mouth to praise, today Lin Feng and Yun Kai gave him quite a shock.

In the stadium.

Lin Feng leaped down from the First Throne, not indulging in the feeling of controlling the stage.

To him, this was just part of the plan.

After Lin Feng got up, Yun Kai and Dong Yunan also stood up at the same time, slightly falling back a step on either side.

”No need for that!” Lin Feng noticed this and gave a casual smile.

Lin Feng, although he prefers to be the leader in the team, considering his greater experience, as friends there should be no division of status, he doesn’t care much about these things, but Yun Kai and Dong Yunan seem to deliberately emphasize this point.

He reminded them multiple times, but the two remain the same.

”Brother Feng, we really succeeded!”

Dong Yunan looked at Lin Feng with admiration, everything just as Lin Feng had planned.

At this moment, she could hardly contain her excitement, her little face slightly flushed.

Yun Kai was also experiencing such a big scene for the first time.

Compared to Dong Yunan, he was an object of disgust and ridicule in everyone’s eyes since childhood, a freak in the eyes of his clansmen, with inferiority deeply buried in the deepest part of his soul.

But now, there are tens of thousands of audience cheering for him, even adoration and liking him.

The feeling is truly wonderful.

”So many people actually like me.....”

Yun Kai really enjoyed this feeling, it brought him far more happiness than acquiring the Third Throne.

”Brother Feng, why do you seem so calm?”

Dong Yunan asked curiously.

When she sat on the First Throne, her heart almost jumped out, yet Lin Feng seemed devoid of such feelings, too calm. Even Yun Kai found it intriguing.

”You can enjoy it, but don’t indulge in it.”

Lin Feng patted Dong Yunan’s head and said, ”The world is huge, there are many prodigies and plenty of demon fiends, don’t slack off, this is just the beginning. Someday, we will participate in the Glory Battle, and stand on the world stage.”

”World stage?”

In Little Sister Dong’s eyes, there was a glimmer, but more confusion.

She wasn’t hearing this from Lin Feng for the first time, she knew it was Lin Feng’s goal, but dared not take it seriously.

Standing on the world stage means they will represent the national team!

As the therapist, she would occupy a place in the team of five.

Only if she becomes the best therapist nationwide will she have the right to stand on the world stage!

Can she do it?

Probably not!

Dong Yunan lacked confidence.

Even Yun Kai felt the same.

The ancestral demonization bloodline talent, refinement of the 96th-ranked Golden Lion King on the Earth Chart, made him seen as an exceptional genius nationwide. In terms of talent, there are barely a few who could match him, but when it comes to the national team level, everyone there is talented, each is an exceptional genius.

Talent is not absolute!

Can he do it?

”Doubt your abilities? Then give it your all, if you can’t keep up with me, I won’t wait for you!”

Lin Feng could sense Yun Kai and Dong Yunan’s self-doubt but did not comfort them; instead, he coldly remarked.

Pressure breeds motivation!

Lin Feng wouldn’t choose, nor could he afford steady growth.

The Nightmare inside him was like a death warrant, always urging him to speed up.

He wanted to become the demon fiend in everyone’s eyes, breaking people’s perceptions of genius step by step.

He must desperately seize every opportunity.

If in the near future, Dong Yunan and Yun Kai can’t keep up with him, he would decisively leave them behind.

Because he simply had no chance to stop.

”Brother Feng....”

Dong Yunan’s momentary excitement froze, her face pale, her steps involuntarily halted, Lin Feng’s words seemed heartless, leaving her shocked and slightly uncomfortable.

Weren’t they classmates?

Were they good friends?

Weren’t the three of them called the top-level Glory configuration, a team?

If they fell behind, would Lin Feng really abandon them heartlessly?

Yun Kai also looked surprised, but he kept closely following Lin Feng until he noticed Dong Yunan lagging behind, then stopped, turned back, and quickly reached her.

”Kai, aren’t we really good friends? Why would Brother Feng say that, has he been using us all along?”

Dong Yunan looked up at Yun Kai, her eyes slightly red, mixing sorrow and some anger.

The joy of securing the Second Throne vanished completely.

”Keep up!”

Yun Kai mimicked Lin Feng, patting Dong Yunan’s head. Facing her confused yet slightly angry gaze, he shook his head, said nothing, and quickly caught up with Lin Feng.

Compared to Dong Yunan, Yun Kai cherished and valued this friendship more.

Simply because Lin Feng was the first to show him kindness.

He was also his first friend.

Due to Lin Feng, he learned about ancestral demonization, escaped a life worse than death, and became an exceptional genius and favorite in everyone’s eyes.

This friendship, he was willing to protect with his life.

”Brother Feng, what are you in such a hurry for?”

Yun Kai quickly caught up with Lin Feng and then slowed down. He looked at Lin Feng’s back, murmuring to himself.

Because of his appearance, Yun Kai dealt with strange looks from others since childhood, leading to his keenly sensitive nature.

Although Lin Feng seemed confident, appearing unaffected by anything, at times when he was lost in thought, Yun Kai vaguely sensed urgency and hesitation in Lin Feng’s gaze.

Almost like fear?
