Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 387: Chapter 290: Stirring Up Trouble Again

Get your ass up here!

The tsunami-like cheers screeched to a halt, and the Glory Sports Center, holding over five hundred thousand people, suddenly fell silent.

The crowd stared at each other, all dumbstruck, wondering if they’d heard wrong.

After two or three seconds of silence, the fans who caught on started screaming even louder, like the deafening roar might tear the roof off the sports center.

When rookies challenge pro players, they’re always humble and respectful. Some even suck up with flattery, hoping the pros will go easy on them and give them a shot, and even those cocky prodigies act super polite on camera.

Plus, pros are way stronger than rookies. If you act arrogant on stage, you’re going to get wrecked, and even after joining the Glory Alliance, you’ll get taught a lesson.

So, rookies always toe the line and stay polite with their seniors.

Yun Kai’s silent, dismissive attitude before was already pretty cocky, but nobody thought Lin Feng would take it even further.

”Get your ass up here!”

Those three words.

Not just cocky—full-on disrespect.

And the one being disrespected is Xie Yixiao, the league’s strongest Thunder Technique, a top-ten All-Star Player.

Glory Alliance is all about power, but seniority matters too. If you’re this arrogant as a rookie, forget about making it in the league.

No rookie’s ever dared to be this brazen.

Forget about tonight—this has never happened in decades of rookie challenge matches.

Lin Feng just made history.

Unprecedented—and maybe no one will ever match it.

”Holy shit, another one challenging Xie Yixiao! All three Red Cloud Team members are going after Juxing Team. Are they gunning for Ju Xing or what?”

”You know the drama between Lin Feng and Ju Xing!”

”You morons, it’s not about who he’s challenging, it’s about those three words: get your ass up here.”

”Lin Feng’s out of control. Xie Yixiao isn’t just a senior, he’s a top-ten All-Star! Who does Lin Feng think he is? What a dumbass.”

”Lin Feng is cocky, sure, but you say he doesn’t deserve it? You’re the real dummy. Compared to Lin Feng’s record, what does Xie Yixiao even have? Hell, not just Xie Yixiao—how many in Glory Alliance can compare?”

”True, cocky as hell—but he’s got every right to be.”

”Lin Feng’s always been like this. I might not like it, but damn it’s badass.”

”Is Lin Feng trying to avenge Yun Kai? Otherwise, why challenge Xie Yixiao?”

”Haha, look at Xie Yixiao’s face—he’s seriously pissed off. First time anyone’s ever disrespected him like this.”

As the crowd debated, their eyes burned with excitement, everyone feeling blood boiling, some even yelling at the top of their lungs just to stir shit up. Xie Yixiao’s face just got uglier by the second.

And it wasn’t just at the venue—the internet was exploding.

Tonight’s opening ceremony was already raking in crazy ratings, but the instant Lin Feng said ”Get your ass up here,” the viewership went through the roof in just sixty seconds.

Loads of fans even logged into the Martial Artist forum to post, venting their excitement.

Two years gone

He hasn’t changed one bit.

Still so cocky!

Still loves stirring shit!

Some fans even wondered if the organizers got a tip-off, knew Lin Feng would be trouble, and purposely saved him for last as the grand finale.

”Crazy.”

Looking around at the boiling Glory Center, Feng Yining and Ya Ge exchanged glances, speechless but also totally blown away.

One sentence, and the audience is whipped into a frenzy—only Lin Feng can do that.

Faced with Lin Feng’s cocky words, they honestly didn’t know what to say anymore.

Before they even got into the league, Lin Feng was already talking shit to the top ten All-Stars.

That kind of arrogance? Actually just pure confidence.

If it were anyone else, even Ye Qiu or Yun Kai, it wouldn’t have caused such chaos. People would just think they were trying to soak up attention and making fools of themselves.

But Lin Feng never gives off that vibe.

He might still be a rookie, but his record is so legendary, and he’s all about breaking records.

Lin Feng’s cockiness is famous.

His fans especially love it, and consider it a badge of honor.

Being arrogant, you need the skills to back it up. And so far, Lin Feng’s undefeated.

If anyone else acted this cocky and disrespectful, they’d get flamed nonstop, but when it’s Lin Feng, barely anyone mocks him.

Because his record gives him all the confidence he needs to act this way.

Everyone’s waiting for this match.

If it were any other rookie, Xie Yixiao would wipe the floor with them, but with Lin Feng, you never know.

Lin Feng’s specialty is making miracles.

His rise was already a miracle.

The name ’Lin Feng’ itself means miracle.

Over in Juxing Team, even the coach’s face changed a little. Lin Feng may have challenged Xie Yixiao, but it’s obvious he doesn’t take them, or Ju Xing, seriously at all.

”Told you not to mess with him. Look what you’ve done.” Ye Xing said helplessly to the furious Xie Yixiao.

He’d warned Xie Yixiao not to provoke Lin Feng, but he didn’t listen—and then purposely caused Yun Kai’s injury. Now Lin Feng’s here for payback.

To be humiliated like this by a rookie is seriously shameful.

Winning as a senior is expected—if you lose, it’s not just embarrassing, it’s humiliating.

When Yun Tianqi lost before, anyone smart could see the reason, and actually felt respect.

If you really lose in a real fight, that’s a different story.

If it was anyone else, Ye Xing wouldn’t be so worried, but facing Lin Feng, even he wasn’t absolutely sure he could win without going all out.

And Lin Feng wouldn’t be this cocky if he wasn’t super confident.

Besides being a troublemaker, Lin Feng’s ruthlessness is legendary too. Anyone who pisses him off gets wrecked. This match won’t end with a little slap on the wrist—no way will it finish quickly.

Right now, not just Ye Xing but even Xie Yixiao was starting to regret it. He looked grim, and the usual smile was long gone.

He’d wanted Lin Feng to challenge him.

But he never expected Lin Feng to be this brazen, even borderline crazy. Not one ounce of humility, not a single care for appearances.

Now everyone was staring at him, and it was like they were waiting to laugh at him.

In a flash, Xie Yixiao stepped onto the stage. Facing Lin Feng’s gaze, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were vicious.

He’d planned to teach Lin Feng a light lesson, but now? That lesson was going to be harsh. He’d make sure Lin Feng never forgot it.

The tension between the two had Chen Xiaodi’s palms sweating. She hated facing drama, but here it was—and right now, she just wanted to get this challenge over with. Still, by tradition, she asked: ”Lin Feng, why did you choose to challenge Xie Yixiao?”

Everyone in the audience was dying to know. Is it to stick up for Yun Kai? Or is there some beef between them?

Otherwise, why would Lin Feng disrespect him so hard?

Under the host’s gaze, Lin Feng looked at Xie Yixiao, smiling a little: ”Because he’s such a sissy!”

A sissy?

How is that an answer?

Xie Yixiao’s 6’1”, tall and lean, dressed in a slick suit, long-haired, a bit pretty-looking, sure, but not girly.

This was Lin Feng stirring the pot again, obvious as day.

And the on-site photographers just loved the drama, zooming in on Xie Yixiao’s face, his flowing hair, his eyebrows—trying to find every ’sissy’ feature they could.

The crowd burst out laughing.

Chen Xiaodi wiped sweat from her forehead. Not dwelling on the answer, she switched topics fast: ”So, Xie Yixiao, do you have anything to say about Lin Feng’s challenge?”

Xie Yixiao had plenty to say, plenty of curse words he wanted to spit, but with cameras rolling he had to hold back. Lin Feng clearly didn’t give a shit about his image, but Xie Yixiao wasn’t about to stoop to a spat. He just shot back coldly: ”I have nothing to say to someone who doesn’t know their place or basic manners.”

”Alright, the challenge match begins.”

No more chit-chat. As soon as Chen Xiaodi announced it, she spread her wings and bailed from the awkward scene in a flash.

Leaving Lin Feng and Xie Yixiao staring each other down, both moving at the same time....
