Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 576: Chapter 414: Calamity Star

Banquet Hall.

The dinner party hadn’t officially started yet, but guests kept arriving, clinking glasses, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively.

After leaving Lin Feng and the others, Yu Qiao wandered alone, holding a glass of champagne, weaving through the crowd with a facade of casualness.

It seemed like he was aimlessly wandering, but his eyes were actually observing others, occasionally stopping to listen to their conversations to gauge their identities.

If he confirmed the person was a potential client, he would seize the moment during their chat to introduce himself and seek ”sponsorship.”

However, it was clear that the process of seeking ”sponsorship” was not going smoothly, as he was frequently rejected. Yet, Yu Qiao didn’t lose hope and soon found a new target.

This time, his target was an elderly man with graying hair, who was conversing with another man.

Yu Qiao took out his phone and searched for a while, quickly confirming the identity of the elderly man.

The old man was named Zhang Zhongfan, the chairman of the Great Victory Conglomerate. As for the man beside him, Yu Qiao didn’t recognize him, but judging by their conversation, his status seemed comparable to that of the old man.

During a break in their smoking, Yu Qiao approached.

The two were somewhat curious about Yu Qiao’s actions, showing a hint of confusion on their faces but said nothing.

Yu Qiao nodded with a smile, and without any small talk, got straight to the point.

”Hello, I am Yu Qiao from the Red Cloud Team, 22 years old, just graduated from university. I’ve refined a Ninth Tier Ghostly Serpent, and my martial strength has reached the Peak of Sixth Grade, a Six-Star Demon Spirit Master!

I’m planning to participate in the King Becoming plan six months from now, and I’m looking for support. Soon, I will become a top-level assassin. This deal will definitely not be a loss for you, and I also have...”

Faced with Yu Qiao’s self-introduction, Zhang Zhongfan was slightly taken aback, showing a surprised expression.

He had seen the Red Cloud Team’s matches and therefore recognized Yu Qiao.

In the rookie challenge, Yu Qiao also stood out, but he did not expect Yu Qiao to aim for the King Becoming plan.

Yu Qiao was a volunteer entering the Land of Chaos this time, with impressive talent, strength, and track record. Although a bit overconfident, Zhang Dafan did not show any disdain, only slightly shook his head and said:

”You’re great, but still a bit young.”

Possessing such strength at 22 is definitely a top-level standard among peers, but it’s far from what’s needed for the King Becoming plan.

Not to mention Yu Qiao, even Ye Qiu and Lin Feng have no chance.

Previously, a genius like Yu Qiao was indeed worth cultivating, and no force would reject a potential assassin.

Compared to other professions, assassins are rarer.

But now there’s not much time left to cultivate geniuses.

Geniuses aren’t as valuable as before.

Moreover, the current Professional Alliance has reformed and no longer hosts professional leagues.

Now the major forces want to cultivate someone who can become a king in a short time. Only such a strong person has the value of cultivation and can demonstrate value.

”Youth is an advantage, young people are worth investing in.”

Rejected, Yu Qiao did not give up, continuing to speak.

Zhang Zhongfan still shook his head, unmoved, while the man beside him seemed a bit curious about Yu Qiao’s confidence, smiling as he asked:

”How much do you think you’re worth? How much to train you?”

Yu Qiao’s gaze shifted to the man, confidently saying, ”Naturally, I’m priceless, the more the better. Once I become a king, you’ll definitely make a fortune.”

”Hehe!”

The man chuckled, and although he didn’t refute, his tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

”Hehe!”

Yu Qiao, who never takes a loss, replied with a ’hehe’ as well, then turned and left.

”Arrogant kid.”

The man laughed, not angry, more amused.

A Sixth Grade, not very popular university graduate wanting to join the King Becoming plan is indeed laughable.

”All a bunch of blind fools, no one appreciating my ability. If it weren’t for keeping my strength hidden, I would scare the life out of you.”

”Once I refine [Illusion], my value will be something else altogether.”

Yu Qiao muttered with an irritated face, but he wasn’t discouraged.

In his view, it was their loss not to sign him, there was no need to be angry.

Soon, his eyes lit up as he spotted another potential client....

”What is that Chrysanthemum Monster up to?”

In the area where the professional players were, Zhao Zhou watched Yu Qiao weave through the people with some suspicion.

These days, as a member of the Red Cloud Team, Yu Qiao was not without fame, and his unique attack style left a deep impression on him.

This is an extremely sly assassin.

”Not sure, but it looks like he’s selling himself.”

”Selling himself?”

”Could he be trying to join the King Becoming plan?”

The crowd speculated one after another.

To join the King Becoming plan, unless you have absolute strength, you need the support of a conglomerate or faction to get an entry.

Even they are no exception.

It’s their club that supports them.

With the club’s support, they can better maintain heat and exposure, and gain more fan support through some activities.

In marketing idols, clubs are experts.

”That Chrysanthemum Monster is only Sixth Grade, how could he possibly join the King Becoming plan?”

Zhao Zhou laughed, his tone tinged with sarcasm.

Not to mention Yu Qiao, even Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing with their popularity have no chance.

”I’ll go listen.”

Beside Xie Yixiao, a youth with bronze-like skin but dressed in a pristine white suit said. The young man had a unique temperament and handsome appearance, named Yue Yun, captain of the War Wolf Team, along with Xie Yixiao, one of the top All-Stars.
