Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 235: Chapter 181: Stirring Ambitions

Outside the Library Pavilion, Zhang Xingyu leaned against the corner of the wall with his arms crossed. Seeing Lin Feng and his group appear, he walked over and said, ”I’ve been waiting for you for three days. I’m here to ask when the life and death duel will take place?”

Three days ago, the agreed life and death duel was stood up, but Zhang Xingyu didn’t blame Lin Feng.

Being able to stay in the Demon Spirit Realm for so long is a skill in itself!

Even if Lin Feng stayed for a month, standing someone up for a month wouldn’t matter.

”If the senior doesn’t mind, why not let me take the challenge?”

Yun Kai stepped forward, his brown eyes showing a fierce glint, and said, ”Brother Feng just got injured and is unfit for combat. Facing me, you should have a better chance!”

Zhang Xingyu glanced at Yun Kai, shook his head, and didn’t respond.

With Ancestral Demonization and the Refinement of the Golden Lion King, Yun Kai is not someone ordinary martial artists can compare to, even if he hasn’t broken through to Martial Artist yet.

But even so, at this stage, he still isn’t qualified to defeat me.

Not responding was just to avoid easily offending Yun Kai.

Super geniuses like Yun Kai advance very quickly. With family support and an annual scholarship of up to a hundred million, lacking no resources, it won’t even take a year for him to catch up to me, or even surpass me.

Offending Yun Kai brings absolutely no advantage.

”Alright, Kai.”

Lin Feng patted Yun Kai on the shoulder and said to Zhang Xingyu, ”Seven days from now, at eight in the morning.”

”Seven days? I heard you were injured in the Demon Spirit Realm.”

Zhang Xingyu’s brows slightly furrowed as his gaze lingered on Lin Feng’s arm.

Everything has already healed, and even with rest, it shouldn’t take a week.

Is he trying to buy time?

Lin Feng has only just broken through to the Second Grade Realm; it’s impossible to break through again in such a short time.

As for the First Grade Demon Spirit Lin Feng refined, he paid it no mind.

Everyone in the school knew through the Peak Squad that what Lin Feng refined was a Dragon Fish.

Although it’s a bit special, containing Dragon Race bloodline and having rare Thunder-Water Dual Attributes, it’s still only First Grade with a talent ability of creating bubbles!

A somewhat comical talent ability, suitable for amusing children yet lacking any lethality.

A week isn’t considered long, and Lin Feng’s request isn’t unreasonable. It’s just that the current situation is too sensational, and Zhang Xingyu wants to resolve it sooner rather than later because even defeating Lin Feng brings him no advantage.

”It has nothing to do with the injury. This week, I’ll compile the number of challengers, and we’ll schedule a time to resolve it all at once.” Lin Feng said calmly.

”Alright, that’s bold! As expected of this year’s Rookie King!”

Zhang Xingyu was slightly taken aback, not expecting this reason.

This act, I admire!

Looking at Lin Feng’s calm face, Zhang Xingyu couldn’t help but sigh.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, at this moment, there was a slight tinge of regret in his heart.

He shouldn’t have been the one to stick his neck out.

The life and death duel is not just an ordinary challenge.

It’s possible that people could really die.

At this moment, Lin Feng, in an undefeated stance at the Same Tier, challenges all Second Grade Realm martial artists across the nation with a gamble exceeding a billion, fearless.

Does he act impulsively and foolishly?

Is that possible?

A person who has tricked major companies, Glory Professional Alliance, and even the entire nation—is he just an impulsive fool?

”Alright, see you then.”

Zhang Xingyu nodded, taking a deep look at Lin Feng before turning and leaving.

....

Zhang Xingyu’s arrival caused the atmosphere, which had just become lively, to become somewhat gloomy again.

Yun Kai and others couldn’t understand why Lin Feng would have the courage to challenge all Second Grade Realm individuals.

After all, what Lin Feng refined was a First Grade Demon Spirit.

A Wasted Demon Spirit.

No matter how outstanding Lin Feng’s combat talent is, could he be a match for those who have already peaked at Second Grade, refined advanced Demon Spirits, and absorbed two Soul Skill geniuses?

”That kid is doomed.”

Not far away, Fang De said, somewhat gloating.

He was naturally aware of Lin Feng’s declaration of war.

He just didn’t expect Lin Feng to be so confident and arrogant.

For this kind of challenge between students, even a life and death battle, as long as both parties are willing, the school wouldn’t interfere.

Lin Feng declared war against major companies and Juxing Club, but mainly against all Second Grade students at Red Cloud University.

Because other geniuses from the two other Hero Academies and the Nine Elite Joint Schools wouldn’t travel great distances to Guanglin for a challenge unless necessary.

The challengers Lin Feng faces are primarily at Red Cloud University.

Even if no one instructed it, a Freshman, just entering Second Grade, dares to act in an undefeated stance at the Same Tier, disregarding the seniors and superiors?

Being a Rookie King, a Martial Arts Demon Fiend, and a Combat Talent is one thing, but being invincible at the Same Tier and a demon fiend are entirely different concepts.

Moreover, Lin Feng still wants to win from weakness.

However you look at it, there seems to be no chance of victory.

”Someone who can stay in the Demon Spirit Realm for three days and escape from Hai Wei’s hands—can it be that simple?”

Bu Zheng said indifferently.

Even he couldn’t quite see through Lin Feng.

He too felt some anticipation for this challenge.

Can this young man create a miracle again?

.....

”Brother Feng, since you’re fine, I’ll head back then?”

On the way back to the villa area, Yue Mingming said to Lin Feng.

The dormitory areas of freshmen and sophomores are different, not to mention Lin Feng was heading to the villa area while Yue Mingming was heading to the dormitory area.

One is at the top of the mountain, the other at the foot.

”Have you confirmed joining the team?”

Lin Feng’s gaze lingered on Yue Mingming’s face and asked, ”Think it over, you should understand, this position is precious. Even Lin Xiaofei, whose strength and talent aren’t bad, I didn’t let join the team. If you decide to join and I don’t agree, you can’t withdraw!”

”Yes, think it over.” Lin Xiaofei chimed in.

He knew Yue Mingming was a rare Summoner, but as for Yue Mingming’s ability to communicate with the Exotic Interface, Lin Feng hadn’t disclosed it.

Gao Hai and Yang Fan also didn’t know.

Communicating with the Exotic Interface, still the innate skill of Demon Spirits.

This ability is too mysterious.

Even though weak and pathetic now, no one knows if Yue Mingming grows strong, how far he will develop in the future.

Perhaps, he really could change the world!

So, the fewer people know, the safer it is.

Lin Feng’s words were straightforward, but Lin Xiaofei had a calm expression, not feeling any discomfort in his heart.

The gap between him and Lin Feng’s trio was too vast, even if Lin Feng was willing, he wouldn’t join the battle team.

Clinging to someone powerful requires awareness; don’t cling so long that you become a burden.

Yue Mingming was silent for a moment.

Lin Feng’s words were not only direct but carried a hint of threat.

Once you join, you can’t easily quit!

Given his understanding of Lin Feng, this was definitely not a joke.

”I want to join, but I don’t know what I can contribute to the team?”

Though he’s a weakling, Yue Mingming also wanted to escape his fate.

And joining Lin Feng’s team seemed like the best opportunity for change.

However, he was always bewildered by why Lin Feng valued him, and his position and role in the team.

As a Summoner, he could only communicate with the Exotic Interface, unable to establish a Soul Contract with a Demon Beast, and couldn’t summon it to aid in battle.

In other words, the Demon Spirit he refined almost had no combat strength.

And his Martial Arts skills were inferior to Lin Feng’s.

Plus, Lin Feng now refining a First Grade Demon Spirit has fallen from the pedestal in everyone’s eyes, therefore, not only is he confused about his own position, but also the future of the team.

”Your value and future development direction are my concerns; you only need to decide whether to join or not.” Lin Feng said.

After thinking for a while, Yue Mingming nodded: ”I want to join!”

This is the only chance to change his fate; he didn’t want to miss it.

As for the team’s development, even if Lin Feng refined a First Grade Demon Spirit and fell off the pedestal, his strength can’t be underestimated; plus, with Yun Kai and Little Sister Dong supporting, this team is still very formidable.

”Since you’ve joined the team, you can move in to live together. Yun Kai and Lin Xiaofei’s villas are empty,” Lin Feng said.

Villas are empty!

Two sets!

Yue Mingming shouted internally, couldn’t help but click his tongue.

When did the villas in the student area become unoccupied?

Not just one room, but entire villas are empty?

Yue Mingming couldn’t help but sigh.

In Red Cloud University, from freshman year to senior year, the hundred on the Wind and Cloud Chart could live in villas.

The thousand on the Strong Chart lived in single rooms.

The rest all lived in five-person dormitories.

Yue Mingming lived in such a five-person dormitory.

Even though the dorm’s environment was fine—it’s not bunk beds but individual beds—everyone has different living habits, especially for Martial Artists, whose cultivation times are not fixed, often getting disturbed while resting.

He wanted to live in a single room for a long time but didn’t have the eligibility.

Of course, wealthy individuals could enjoy this treatment too.

A single room costs three million a year.

If not for Lin Feng giving him five million, even selling him wouldn’t raise three million.

But who would’ve thought, before even joining Lin Feng’s team, he got the villa treatment, all to himself!

This is a villa!

Some masters on the Wind and Cloud Chart rent out villas for training resources, with yearly prices as high as twenty million.

And villas are extremely popular, as soon as they’re rented out, someone would snag them immediately.

”Living alone in a villa is too luxurious, you might not know, if you rent a villa out, the yearly rent is twenty million.”

Yue Mingming reminded.

Though knowing Lin Feng’s trio are all big spenders, each with a yearly scholarship of a hundred million, twenty million is no small amount!

”Money is no issue.”

Lin Xiaofei patted Yue Mingming’s shoulder; after three days together, they weren’t strangers: ”You can live with Little Sister Dong, she’s alone in her villa and it’s quite lonely.”

Money is no issue!

Why does even Lin Xiaofei speak so grandly?

Yue Mingming felt a bit out of place, like a beggar.

”Alright, more people make it livelier.”

Dong Yunan said happily, finally having a roommate to make things lively.

”Alright, I’ll head back to the dorm and move my things over,” Yue Mingming said with a smile. Since he decided to join the team, he wasn’t being polite.

After Yue Mingming finished speaking, he left to get his things, while Lin Feng’s group returned to the villa area.

”Yun Kai.”

Just as everyone returned to villa number one, a man and a woman waved their hands at the villa door, greeting Yun Kai.

Besides Yun Kai, the two completely ignored Lin Feng and the others, not intending to greet them.

”What are you here for?”

Their attitude towards Lin Feng annoyed Yun Kai; with his brows slightly furrowed, he asked in displeasure.

He knew these two; they were from the Yun Race. At Red Cloud University, there were five family members from the Yun Race, and these two were among them.

The young man named Yun Haoran, a sophomore, ranked 23rd on the Wind and Cloud Chart, with impressive strength and talent.

Even though Yun Kai was despised and disliked by family members from a young age, now a peerless genius in the family, his relationship with the clan was still distant.

For the Yun Family members at Red Cloud University, he didn’t associate with much.

”Steward Yunyong wants to see you, let me take you to him.”

Despite his dissatisfaction with Yun Kai’s attitude, Yun Haoran dared not show it.

Currently, Yun Kai is a genius possessing Ancestral Demonization, key to the declining family’s rise. Soon, they might become teammates; alienating him wouldn’t be good.

”Brother Feng, I’ll step out for a bit.”

Yun Kai said, then left first, ignoring the two clan members.

Yun Haoran and the girl glanced at Lin Feng, but said nothing, though their eyes betrayed disdain and provocation.

Lin Feng smiled; ever since refining a First Grade Demon Spirit, the Yun Family seemed restless.
