Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 274: Chapter 206: Never Have I Seen Such Arrogance

If we go again, the Red Cloud Team has a higher chance of winning.

The Red Cloud Team lost because they were unprepared and didn’t understand the strength and fighting style of Lin Feng’s group of five.

Due to Yu Qiao, Lin Feng’s team is quite familiar with the Red Cloud Team.

”Something came up and it delayed us.”

Lin Feng explained.

”What was so important?”

Xie Dajiang said with a scolding tone, ”Do you think that winning one match makes you all that? If it weren’t for Yu Qiao telling you about Yang Ningbing and the others’ soul skills, do you really think you could have won this match?”

Clearly, Xie Dajiang was a bit dissatisfied with Lin Feng’s team replacing the Red Cloud Team. Although the Red Cloud Team’s defeat was due to a difference in strength, many people thought that as a coach, he bore some responsibility.

Moreover, with Lin Feng’s team replacing Yang Ningbing and the others, within half a month, he still needed to help the team find the best combat style and implement various tactical coordinations, which would take a lot of time and energy.

Lin Feng understood this, so he remained silent and didn’t argue.

Dong Yunan also restrained her smile and appeared serious, worried in front of such a fierce coach.

Xie Dajiang spoke a few more words but didn’t continue scolding. No matter what, since the result had already occurred, achieving success was key moving forward.

”I watched your combat style yesterday, and I only want to say two words: garbage.”

Xie Dajiang expressed his disdain without any concealment.

Lin Feng frowned slightly but didn’t say much more.

He knew that, for many people, luck played a part in their win, but who knew his true strength?

As well as Yun Kai’s strength.

And the fearsome aspect of the tool man, Yue Mingming!

In half a month, the rewards of soul skills and resources from major forces would transform their team.

Xie Dajiang noticed Lin Feng’s frown but didn’t care and continued mockingly, ”Your teamwork was lacking. If the Red Cloud Team had watched your matches and understood your soul skills, you wouldn’t stand a chance.”

”Yang Ningbing and the others are much stronger overall. You only won because you knew their information.”

”And this guy, is named Yue Mingming? Is he the tool man? Is he here as a joke? He didn’t contribute anything in the battle and was instantly defeated. Don’t even mention being a main force; he doesn’t even qualify as a substitute.”

Yue Mingming looked embarrassed, his body stiffened, and he bowed his head, unable to refute.

Unable to absorb suitable soul skills, he indeed was just an ordinary Martial Artist, someone who didn’t help the team at all.

This past week, he received a lot of envy but even more ridicule and criticism.

”And Dong Yunan, your strength is still too weak. If you want my guidance, these two can only serve as substitutes.”

Xie Dajiang continued, ignoring Little Sister Dong and Yue Mingming’s pale faces, ”Though substitutes don’t receive the same treatment as main players, the resources they deserve won’t be lacking, so you can rest assured.”

Substitute?

Hearing this from the coach, Dong Yunan’s eyes turned red, feeling a bit unwilling, but more so helpless.

And although Yue Mingming felt downhearted, he rather felt relieved inside.

Being a substitute means less pressure, after all.

Seeing that Xie Dajiang intended to go on lecturing, Lin Feng interrupted directly, ”I ask you, are you overreaching?”

Xie Dajiang was slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised that Lin Feng dared speak to him like that, and his face darkened instantly, ”What did you say?”

Lin Feng smiled slightly, ”I’m saying you’re taking yourself too seriously.”

Although very angry, Xie Dajiang knew the talent and strength of Lin Feng and Yun Kai, so he didn’t blow up immediately but said coldly, ”Do you know the consequences of saying this? Do you still want to participate in the National College Glory Battle?”

Dong Yunan was startled, not expecting Lin Feng to directly confront the coach, even Yu Qiao couldn’t help but admire Lin Feng.

Xie Dajiang was a veteran, once a coach for one of the top ten clubs of the Glory Professional Alliance, and only came to the Red Cloud Team after retirement, where he also achieved successes.

Even the captain Yang Ningbing respected him, and no one dared to challenge the coach easily, let alone face off like this.

Lin Feng’s words carried a hint of mockery, ”Is it up to you to decide whether we participate? Do you really think you’re the principal? You think we’re not up to par, but I think you’re not up to par. How many years has it been since the Red Cloud Team was in the top two? Want to show off in front of us? You’re not qualified!”

The atmosphere seemed to grow quiet and oppressive, and the substitute team members looked at each other in disbelief.

Even those who knew Lin Feng the best, like Yun Kai and others, hadn’t thought Lin Feng would directly tear off the mask, leaving no room for compromise.

No one dared to intervene; Dong Yunan wouldn’t, Yue Mingming couldn’t, and Yun Kai wouldn’t rebut any decision Lin Feng made.

To the National College Glory League, he wasn’t so concerned anyway.

Xie Dajiang’s face looked grim to the extreme.

He knew Lin Feng was difficult to handle, a prickly guy, but he didn’t expect him to be prickly all over.

Originally, he thought Yu Qiao was the toughest team member he’d ever met, but compared to Lin Feng, Yu Qiao seemed obedient.

”I will report this to the school leaders and suggest canceling your five people’s qualifications to compete.”

Xie Dajiang said sternly.

Cancel the qualification?

Hearing this, Lin Feng laughed, ”This qualification was won by us, nobody can cancel it. Not you, not the school leaders either. If anyone does, we will choose to drop out.”

Having said that, Lin Feng turned and left, with Dong Yunan and others following closely, while Yu Qiao slowed down, patting Xie Dajiang’s shoulder as he passed, seemingly comforting, though actually mockingly said, ”Dajiang, don’t be ridiculous!”

Xie Dajiang stood there, his face somewhat pale, filled with regret.

As the coach of the Red Cloud Team, Xie Dajiang had seen all kinds of geniuses.

Geniuses are confident, and overconfidence becomes arrogance.

He had seen many arrogant people but never one this arrogant.

Leaving the Red Cloud Training Base, Dong Yunan looked dejected, weakly saying, ”Brother Feng, perhaps Yue Mingming and I should serve as substitutes. Indeed, our strength is somewhat lacking compared to the main force. Let’s treat this as experience, and we can enter the main lineup next time.”

”Exactly, Brother Feng, there’s no need to clash with that old man. He doesn’t care, but it will affect our future!”

Yue Mingming also said, feeling actually greater pressure compared to Dong Yunan.

In his view, he indeed seemed to be the drag.

Xie Dajiang mainly targeted himself, and Dong Yunan was only incidental, after all, Little Sister Dong was a therapist and not weak.

”That old man did it on purpose, purposely giving us a hard time. If you became substitutes, I can almost guess who the other two main players would be, absolutely related to him.”

Lin Feng smiled indifferently, ”It’s fine, this challenge is already known nationwide, and no one can replace our main lineup because our true strength has not been revealed.

I can lead you to participate in the National College Glory Battle because I am confident I can win the championship. If I thought you didn’t have the strength and were holding us back, I would kick you out of the team without hesitation. You aren’t that important, so don’t overthink your role!”

Lin Feng’s way of calming them was unique, sounding somewhat unfeeling in his banter but was quite effective, clearly letting Dong Yunan and Yue Mingming relax.

”Being cheeky!” Yu Qiao muttered in his heart.

The news of Lin Feng’s team and their falling out with the coach spread quickly at Red Cloud University.

And Xie Dajiang also went to the school leadership.

The result was as Lin Feng anticipated; although the school leadership had some doubts about Lin Feng’s team’s strength, they had no plans to change the main lineup.

Even when Xie Dajiang threatened to resign, Red Cloud University did not change its view and accepted his resignation.

Soon, a new coach appeared, who learned from the predecessor’s mistakes and only provided tactical guidance.

For half a month, Lin Feng had been training at the team’s training base.

Before setting off for Demon Star, the rewards from Red Cloud University, Guanglin Demon Spirit Master Association, Guanglin Martial Artist Association, Guanglin Base City, and Jiang City Base City arrived.

”Two space Demon Spirits?”

Yue Mingming’s hands trembled slightly as he held the Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact. He didn’t expect Lin Feng to find him two precious space Demon Spirits.

With both possessing Purple Gold soul skills, he wouldn’t be the last in the pack if he could successfully absorb them!
