Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 615: Chapter 446: I Am Bing

Not far from Lin Feng’s team, a group of people were watching the demon beast horde being slaughtered, exclaiming in amazement.

”So strong.”

”Seeing is believing, it’s even more formidable than I imagined!”

”It’s definitely impressive; otherwise, it wouldn’t have made the alien race retreat. But that’s not the point, the point is the all-purple gold soul skills and diamond soul skills!”

”Indeed perverse, the level of those soul skills is ridiculously high.”

”Too bad I don’t have money, otherwise I’d want to sign up too.”

”The way they absorb soul skills is really extravagant.”

Amidst the exclamations and discussions, Bing hid in the crowd, silently watching Lin Feng’s team, eyes filled with excitement and determination.

In the Seven-Star Level Space Gate, with his strength, he could die from encountering even a single demon beast. Low-level beasts are rare here, most are mid and high-level beasts.

Even hiding in the crowd, he couldn’t guarantee his own safety. If danger truly struck, these strangers wouldn’t care about his death.

Yet even so, he had no intention of giving up.

Witnessing the formidable strength of Lin Feng’s team, seeing advanced demon spirits being casually selected, his desire to join Lin Feng’s team grew stronger.

”They’re leaving.”

”They’re leaving, hurry up!”

”We get some soup to drink.”

With a shout, a group of people rushed toward the scattered demon beast corpses, and Bing was no exception, though his target was Lin Feng’s team, not the beast corpses.

Even though those beast corpses were very tempting to him, he had never eaten the flesh of advanced demon beasts, it must be very nourishing and quite valuable.

”Here they come again.”

Seeing the scavenger teams pouring in, the students preparing to leave smiled.

Along the way, the scavenger teams had appeared several times, with different people each time.

Demon spirits and truly valuable demon beast materials had long been harvested, the heavy beast flesh they couldn’t carry away would ultimately be eaten by beast, so they’d rather leave it for other adventurers.

Just as Lin Feng’s team was about to leave, suddenly, a figure dashed toward them, catching Lin Feng’s attention.

In general, scavenger teams were quite self-aware and wouldn’t easily approach them.

This person seemed to come specifically to find them!

However, the figure was stopped by someone on the perimeter before getting close.

”I’m looking for Lin Feng!”

Bing stopped, speaking to the person in front of him.

Yun Lin looked curiously at Bing, unable to see his features clearly due to the long, black hair covering his face.

Yun Lin’s gaze lingered on Bing’s eyes, which were dark yet tinged with a faint purple, a rare sight and a mark of abnormal people, along with the red scarf on his forehead, there was little doubt about his identity.

”Are you an abnormal person?”

The person blocking the way also focused on Bing’s eyes and forehead. After speaking, he directly reached out to grab the scarf on Bing’s forehead.

Bing instinctively wanted to retreat, but the difference in strength made it impossible to dodge, and the scarf was torn off in one go.

This time, Bing’s expression showed a hint of panic.

He instinctively raised his hands to cover his forehead but ultimately didn’t do so, his hands stiffening before slowly lowering.

”Sure enough!”

Yun Lin sighed inwardly.

The horns on the forehead are the mark of the alien race and abnormal people. Although the horn had been cut off, leaving no protrusion, a dark coin-sized piece of keratin was still embedded in the flesh at the forehead’s center.

Horns can be cut, but not uprooted without risking one’s life. Even then, they regrow.

”Get lost!”

When the suspicion turned into reality, people’s gazes instantly turned hostile, their tone undisguised in their loathing.

As martial artists and demon spirit masters, their classmates, friends, or relatives had, more or less, died at the hands of the alien race.

Thus, most were very spiteful toward abnormal people.

Though they knew abnormal people were innocent and pitiable, such loathing and spite were not easily diminished by sympathy.

The hatred and fear of the alien race indirectly transferred to abnormal people, which is why abnormal people often go missing or are killed.

It’s not just because of the horn, a symbol of glory.

It’s like a natural aversion, like people being inherently disgusted by insects, it’s a primal repulsion!

Bing could clearly sense this loathing, yet he remained exceptionally calm.

He was used to it.

Even his mother hated him, abandoning him on the day he was born, what could he possibly expect from others?

Never mind others, even he hated himself.

”I’m looking for Lin Feng.”

Faced with the crowd’s gaze, after the initial panic, Bing calmed down. He looked in the direction of Lin Feng, speaking slowly.

The Lin Feng team, despite having many Demon Fiends and even All-Star Players, is clearly dominated by Lin Feng. As long as Lin Feng agrees, Bing can join the team.

”You mongrel, didn’t you hear us telling you to scram?”

Seeing Bing disobey, another young man stepped forward and forcefully shoved Bing.

From the moment Bing appeared, he did not hide his disgust and hostility towards him.

It was a kind of hatred that wished to kill the other party directly.

Watching the young man make a move, some people were indifferent, while others frowned slightly, but from start to finish, no one intervened to stop it.

”Alas.”

Someone sighed.

The young man who struck was named Xu Tian, a Fourth Grade Martial Artist and a Five-Star Demon Spirit Master. He was also a prominent figure at Red Cloud University. His hatred for the Abnormal People was due to the fact that his brother and father were killed by the Alien Race.

It was an irreconcilable, relentless hatred.

Although this hatred had nothing to do with the Abnormal Person before him.

Bing staggered back a few steps. He looked at the person attacking him with indifferent eyes, remained silent without retaliating, yet didn’t intend to leave either.

”Such a waste...”

Xu Tian snickered, even his casual shove made Bing retreat, revealing his weak prowess.

Perhaps he was merely a Second Grade Martial Artist.

His weak strength and humble status made him look down on Bing even more.

If it weren’t for the public eye, he would certainly give the other party a lesson, a very profound lesson.

Yun Kai watched the scene silently, his eyes complicated.

That familiar gaze again.

For some reason, scenes flashed in his mind.

Those were gray memories buried deep inside, ones he didn’t want to recall.

Yun Kai looked at Bing. Although Bing appeared calm at the moment, he could clearly sense Bing’s suppressed grief and sorrow.

There wasn’t much anger.

Only a surrender to resistance, a suffocating emotion.

It was a self-loathing, a life worse than death.

He had felt this emotion from Hong Yi.

As a Spirit Medium, Hong Yi’s life was also painful and sorrowful.

He deeply understood this feeling.

Once, he himself was a presence that everyone abhorred. Though he was more fortunate than the Abnormal People, as people disliked him, they did not harbor hostility nor wanted to kill him.

At least, he was safe.

Now everything has improved.

”Brother Feng, why do you think he’s seeking you?”

Little Sister Dong asked softly.

She was not unfamiliar with Abnormal People. Though she had never interacted with them, she had seen them and not just once.

Red Cloud University had more than a dozen Abnormal People. Those Abnormal People were also students, but antisocial, and whenever they appeared, they were ostracized and humiliated by others.

After glancing at Bing, Little Sister Dong then shifted her gaze, because Lin Feng had warned her that such looks were impolite.

In some sense, what represents is either glory, or disgrace.

Yu Qiao evidently didn’t have this concern; he curiously examined Bing’s forehead and said with a laugh: ”He’s also a tough one. This horn connects to the nerve. Cutting it is very painful, and it has to be done every week. Is it really necessary?”

”There is nothing more painful in this world than discrimination!” Yun Kai suddenly said.

The others glanced at Yun Kai, and Yu Qiao also fell silent, refraining from further jokes.

”Let him come over.”

Just as Xu Tian intended to block, Lin Feng’s voice came.

Xu Tian paused, looking towards Lin Feng. The two exchanged glances, and Xu Tian instinctively avoided Lin Feng’s gaze before looking at Bing again, eventually saying nothing.

No matter the battle record or strength, he didn’t have the confidence to rebuke Lin Feng.

Under the eyes of everyone, Bing suppressed his inner tension and walked towards Lin Feng.

When he reached Lin Feng, his heart raced so fast that it was hard to breathe, and his body was extremely tense.

”What do you want from me?”

Lin Feng didn’t dislike Abnormal People because he knew they were pitiful, but neither could he say he liked them, since they carried the blood of the Alien Race.

Facing the question, Bing took a deep breath, though he had rehearsed internally, he was still very nervous.

At this moment, Lin Feng’s words, his decision, could change his life.

Bing suppressed his inner tension, slowly raised his head, his pale purple eyes looking at Lin Feng, and said: ”I’m Bing, and I want to join you!”
