Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 153: Chapter 135: The Agonizing Ten Minutes

”Had a fight?”

Amidst the curious gazes of many, Little Sister Dong stood all alone, helpless, with reddened eyes, silently watching the two people gradually walk away.

”Dong Yunan, what’s wrong?”

Seeing Little Sister Dong’s sad face, Deng Chen walked over and asked in confusion.

You big yellow bird, sitting on the Second Throne, why do you still have a face that looks like you’re about to cry?

Do you need to sit on the First Throne to be satisfied?

You’ve got such big ambitions?

At this moment, Ye Ming also noticed Dong Yunan’s unusual behavior. However, he did not go over to fawn over her but instead sneered.

Because of Dong Yunan, he missed out on a top-three position, naturally leaving him very displeased.

If he wasn’t wary of Lin Feng and Yun Kai, he probably wouldn’t have let Dong Yunan off so easily, even if she is a therapist that everyone tries to cozy up to!

”Having a conflict with Lin Feng and Yun Kai?”

Following Dong Yunan’s gaze, Deng Chen speculated.

Though he didn’t know the reason, he continued to show concern: ”If you’re not happy staying with them, you’re always welcome here.”

Clearly, Deng Chen took advantage of Lin Feng’s absence to try to poach.

In a team, the presence of a therapist greatly enhances the confidence and cohesion compared to teams without one.

Having a healer is sometimes equivalent to having an extra life.

And the Eighth Grade Sea Demoness, such a high-level Healing Series demon spirit, is a deadly attraction to students planning to join the club.

If he were to actually poach Little Sister Dong, it would be a sweet revenge for today’s grievances.

”Humph!”

Little Sister Dong frowned slightly, glanced at Deng Chen, and huffed, appearing somewhat haughty.

Although she was a bit angry, she wasn’t one to hold a grudge.

Lin Feng treated her well.

The ’using’ talk she mentioned earlier was just out of anger.

Fortunately, it was only Yun Kai who heard it. If Brother Feng found out, it would be disastrous.

Dong Yunan herself understood that from the beginning to the end, both she and Yun Kai had been basking in Lin Feng’s glory.

Without them, with Lin Feng’s talent and strength, he would still shine brightly.

And without Lin Feng and Yun Kai, she could get into Red Cloud but would never get a scholarship, let alone a one-hundred-million-dollar scholarship.

In the Throne Challenge, she wouldn’t be able to sit on any seats, let alone the Second Throne.

Because of Lin Feng and Yun Kai, she gained more than a hundred times of what she gave.

”What are you humming about? I’m serious, and I mean it.” Deng Chen said with a smile.

”Are you really not waiting for me?”

Ignoring the voice beside her, seeing the two about to disappear, Dong Yunan became anxious and quickly started walking to catch up.

Soon, she caught up with the two.

Just like before, Yun Kai stood on the left and she stood on Lin Feng’s right, but unlike her usual lively self, Little Sister Dong was unusually quiet at the moment.

”Really angry?” hearing the slowed footsteps, Lin Feng asked.

”A little, but it’s okay!”

The voice still had a bit of grievance and blame. Lin Feng wanted to explain but didn’t know what to say.

”Brother Feng, I just want to ask....”

Originally wanting to hear Lin Feng’s explanation, Dong Yunan saw Yun Kai suddenly turn his head, and her heart skipped a beat.

For the first time, she saw a reprimanding and angry expression on Yun Kai’s face, so she quickly shut her mouth and dared not ask any more questions.

Although Yun Kai was a bit temperamental, a bit withdrawn, not fond of talking, he was known for having a good temper in the squad, and he was always nice to Dong Yunan.

He could even tolerate Dong Yunan’s chatter for a long time.

Because of this, when Yun Kai got angry for the first time, Dong Yunan was scared.

Lin Feng didn’t notice Yun Kai’s actions. When the three of them walked up the stage, the freshmen with seats also gradually stood on the platform.

”Kids, find your own seats.”

With a loud laugh, the ground trembled, and amidst the rumbling, a hundred seats slowly descended, disappearing into the ground, only to reappear on the platform a short while later, arranged in a fan shape.

The hundred freshmen picked their seats according to their previous ranking.

Lin Feng still sat in the center on the First Throne.

Surrounding him were cheering crowds of tens of thousands, and just less than a hundred meters in front of him were the freshmen who had no seats and could only stand obediently.

”Take a good look, ten minutes.”

Bu Zheng came out as a representative.

As a strong person, he did not like to waste words. Without giving praise or encouragement, he merely said a word before his figure flashed and he sat back in his seat.

”Dean Bu is playing this trick again, doing it every year. Doesn’t he find it boring?”

”Indeed, it’s been more than ten years, can’t he change things up?”

”This is my only black history. Just thinking about it makes me feel pathetic.”

”Haha, I’m lucky to be strong, snatched the 89th seat last year. Although it was a bit boring, it is effective, so the juniors and younger students get motivated!”

The senior students chuckled and bantered, while observing the expressions of the freshmen.

This scene is so familiar, it’s truly nostalgic and amusing!

It wasn’t just them; cameras were also capturing the expressions of the freshmen at this moment.

On the Light Curtain, except for those who failed the Throne Challenge, out of over ten thousand freshmen, expressions varied from envy, jealousy, longing, shame, indifference...

No one on the stage spoke.

The atmosphere was somewhat peculiar.

As time passed by, the freshmen began to stand uneasily, their expressions grew increasingly unsightly.

Over ten thousand pairs of eyes were on them at this time, and the cameras capturing their expressions on the Light Curtain frequently caused bursts of teasing and mocking talk from the audience.

And on the opposite side, on the platform, where the freshmen sitting on the thrones, sneering down at them.

”What are the academy leaders doing? Are they deliberately trying to humiliate us?”

”Exactly. If I were a child of a big family, with vast resources, I could sit up there too. Is it necessary to discriminate like this?”

”It really is quite awkward. Had I known, I wouldn’t have joined this uproar.”

An emotion of unwillingness and anger spread among the freshmen, from initial whispers to loud complaints.

At this moment, even the freshmen who seemed indifferent could no longer remain calm, a flash of anger passed through their eyes.

Some freshmen couldn’t bear this comparison and humiliation, wanting to leave early, but faced with the crowded audience, they simply couldn’t escape, some even closed their eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

But more swore silently to train harder, unwilling to suffer such humiliation again.

The grueling ten minutes finally passed.

When the ’dismissal’ announcement sounded, it was apparent as over ten thousand people simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.

After three hours, the annual Throne Challenge for freshmen ended.

But the discussions and follow-up about this Throne Challenge were just beginning.

Lin Feng and Yun Kai’s performance once again amazed everyone.

On this day, Lin Feng and Yun Kai became idols for all the youths, becoming the hot topic among the people of Guanglin.

”Golden Transformation!”

”Yun Kai, dare to chase me, can you be as fast as me, Thunder Step, flash...”

”I caught you! Watch my Thunderstorm Strike!”

On the streets, many children wore masks with Yun Kai’s and Lin Feng’s faces, playing and chasing each other, while debates on who’s stronger persisted.

And online, video highlights of this Throne Challenge continued to go viral...
