Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 327: Chapter 242: Hunting Squad

”Seal one gate!”

Upon learning of Lin Feng’s plan, the members of the Red Cloud Team’s expressions changed dramatically, filled with surprise and then some concern and fear.

No one expected that, after killing Hai Wei, Lin Feng still wanted to eradicate the Alien Race completely.

And this was obviously the ”game” Lin Feng had referred to earlier.

Or perhaps this was originally the game of the Alien Race!

It’s just that this time, the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed.

Using force to suppress and forcibly seal the Other-dimensional Space Gate—such stories are documented in textbooks, but there aren’t many examples.

Moreover, the protagonists of these stories are mostly aliens, with very few being humans.

The stories end with the defeat and death of humans.

Mainly to give them a sense of crisis and motivate them to cultivate diligently.

Back then, when they heard these stories, besides anger and hatred toward the Alien Race, they would also fantasize, imagining that one day when they were strong enough, they too could achieve such great deeds.

To have one person seal one gate.

Even just thinking about it makes the whole body start to heat up, with blood boiling.

But even as geniuses, with their strength, they could only fantasize about it.

Since the expansion of the Other-dimensional Space Gate to allow human entry, over a hundred years, only 29 people have had this capability.

It seems like a lot, but on average, only one appears every three or four years.

And these 29 people include both humans and the Alien Race.

Among humans, only eleven possess such strength.

Of course, the term ”one person sealing one gate” doesn’t specifically mean one individual; it could also refer to a small team or a faction.

But the leader must possess invincible Same Tier strength, otherwise, no matter how strong the team’s numbers are, it won’t matter.

Because no matter how many, they can’t stay in the same spot forever; all-out battles can only lead to mutual destruction.

Not long ago, there were three humans with such strength.

Among them, the most famous was Yang Qing from the Yang Race, known as ”Thirteen.”

Yang Qing possessed invincible Ninth Grade Realm strength and had refined the Ninth Grade Devil Mantis. His assassination technique and outstanding swordsmanship made enemies dread him, forcibly suppressing a nine-star level space gate for three years, making the Alien Race hesitate to enter.

And that Other-dimensional Space Gate had even become the Yang Family’s backyard, developed effectively.

Of course, Yang Qing accomplished this not only with strength but also relying on the Yang Family’s powerful foundation and numerous skilled clan members for support; otherwise, Yang Qing alone couldn’t sweep through the Ninth Grade Realm.

Now, Yang Qing obtained a key and, no longer suppressing his strength, has broken through to the Martial King level, unable to continue suppressing that space gate.

And at the Martial King tier, he is no longer invincible; there are quite a few stronger than him.

Currently, there are only two people capable of sealing a gate.

One from Celestial Gate Base City, Xu Santie, with a somewhat common name but an extremely bold character and fighting style, an invincible Eighth Grade genius.

The other is Chen Xintai from the Chen Clan of the Ten Great Clans in Shangjing, an invincible Sixth Grade genius.

Not only did he suppress a gate, but also obtained an extremely precious key.

Thanks to Chen Xintai, the Chen Clan developed a six-star level space gate and, with the addition of a key, they have risen from ninth to seventh place among the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, with their strength and status skyrocketing.

This was achieved in just three years, yet significantly boosted the comprehensive strength of a clan.

This is the value of invincible Same Tier geniuses.

This is also the benefit of sealing a space gate.

”Brother Feng, I’m with you.”

Yun Kai said resolutely.

The Jade Seal Spatial Gate, due to its special and precious nature, has always been controlled by the Alien Race, not allowing human entry.

Except for the preliminary round of the biennial National Colleges Glory Battle, this space gate is constantly sealed, not allowing adventurers to enter.

This resulted in missing many precious Demon Spirits. Demon Spirits represent Soul Skills, and the lack of Soul Skills greatly affects some Demon Spirit Masters.

It is imaginable, when Lin Feng liberates the ”Jade Seal” and even suppresses that space gate, forbidding Alien Race entry, it would cause a shock.

If Lin Feng can develop the Jade Seal Space Gate, it would be greatly beneficial for Lin Feng, even enabling him to start building his own faction.

Understanding this point, Yun Kai is determined to help Lin Feng accomplish this great feat.

”How could such a grand event be missing me!”

Yu Qiao was thrilled, as if stirred up, eager to join: ”In terms of strength, I might not match you, but assassination, that’s my specialty!”

”Alright, you and Yun Kai can join, but this time, follow my command, no acting independently.”

Lin Feng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

More people means greater power; as long as the strength is assured, no one should be left behind.

An individual’s hunting speed surely can’t compare to a team.

Yu Qiao and Little Sister Dong, aware of their limits, didn’t dare to speak up.

Such a plan is too dangerous.

Tian Qing and Huang Ying etc., they’re not ordinary characters; they’re Alien Race geniuses as famous as Hai Wei.

Going after them might easily lead to death or being captured by the Alien Race, becoming slaves.

Their strength is relatively weak.

Assassination isn’t about chaos.

Going could be a burden instead.

Upon knowing Lin Feng’s plan, the members of various battle teams were immediately stirred.

”Count me in.”

Receiving the news, Zhan Tianyu stepped up to join the excitement: ”Opportunities like this are rare; missing would be a lifelong regret.”

Earlier, facing Hai Wei, Zhan Tianyu knew he wasn’t an opponent and didn’t dare to challenge.

Even when Hai Wei threatened Ye Qiu’s life, he, as the team captain, could only remain silent.

This inevitably made him feel ashamed, though others, including teammates, didn’t mind, as it was Hai Wei.

An invincible Sixth Grade monstrosity.

Apart from Lin Feng, no one dared to solo and risk life and death.

Zhan Tianyu’s fear was perfectly normal.

They similarly chose silence.

Even Ye Qiu wouldn’t think much.

This time, Zhan Tianyu chooses to join, not only to accomplish the great feat together but also to reclaim his dignity.

He wants to use facts to show others he’s not a coward, just aware of his inferior strength.

”Count me in.”

The Demon Star Team’s captain Huang Tianze also opted to join; the Great Wall and Red Cloud joined, so not joining would weaken Demon Star University’s image.

”I’m in too.”

By now fully recovered, Ye Qiu stepped up.

Like Zhan Tianyu, he seeks to restore his honor.

His strength isn’t weak, having refined the Thorny Demon Dragon ranked 17 on the Earth Chart, the highest-ranked Demon Spirit among all, including the Alien Race.

If not for saving someone, unable to unleash his power, he wouldn’t have been easily surrounded and captured.

Many fear, but many want to join; Martial Artists all hold an adventurous spirit, and with Lin Feng just killing Hai Wei, under his leadership, many are confident.

However, for this hunting game, quality over quantity matters; weaker strength would actually drag the team down.

Many signed up, totaling over twenty people, all Peak of Fifth Grade geniuses who refined Ninth Grade Demon Spirits.

Daring to join this perilous hunting game, all are confident in their strength.

But ultimately, Lin Feng only picked six: Yun Kai, Yu Qiao, Zhan Tianyu, Huang Tianze, Ye Qiu, and Yang Ningbing.

”Hold on, I’ll ask the leaders’ opinion.”

Seeing Lin Feng and his crew prepare to leave, Chen Tiantian hurried over.

With the preliminary round about to end, she couldn’t care less about hiding her identity.

This matter is too crazy!

One careless move, and Lin Feng’s seven could die at the Alien Race’s hands.

By now, the leaders surely knew, though no formal notice has been delivered.

”Don’t worry, you guys hurry on.”

Lin Feng said without acknowledging Chen Tiantian’s calls.

On the return journey, there’s no need to worry; the Alien Race’s main force is heading in a completely opposite direction. Even passing through Jade Seal City, as long as they’re cautious of ambushes, there won’t be much danger.

Lin Feng and his seven, without wasting words, amidst Chen Tiantian’s anxious calls and everyone’s admiring and respectful gazes, quickly disappeared.

”Truly crazy!”

Watching Lin Feng and the others disappear, each battle team sped up; they knew as the hunting game commenced, regardless of the outcome, this preliminary round was destined to set the whole nation ablaze!
