Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 655: Chapter 478: Return

At this moment, there were many who shared Jiang Jun’s thoughts.

Lin Feng’s team had many labels, such as ’Heaven’s Chosen’, ’Demon Fiend’, ’All-Star’, ’Children of Great Families’, ’Glorious Battle Record’, and besides these, there was also ’Loves to Make Trouble’.

Lin Feng’s team was famous for loving to make trouble.

Of course, to be more precise, it was Lin Feng who loved to make trouble.

Under Lin Feng’s leadership, the team naturally loved to make trouble as well.

Many were anticipating how Lin Feng’s team would stir things up.

Many netizens frantically left predictions in the comment sections of posts, and then major media outlets reported one after another.

But just as Jiang Jun expected, the netizens and fans were rational.

The King Becoming Plan was an elimination event, a competition among the world’s top fighters below the level of Emperor, focused on strength. Even if it was a popularity vote, strength was still one of the most important considerations.

Without knowing the trump cards of Lin Feng and his two teammates, fans wouldn’t casually waste a precious vote.

Although Lin Feng and his two teammates were popular, it didn’t mean others weren’t popular either.

Those who made it to the popularity list weren’t simple characters.

While the votes for Lin Feng and his two teammates continued to increase, the rate of increase slowed down more and more; in the first hour it rose by more than thirty thousand, but then it almost stalled and even began to decrease, and ultimately no one’s votes exceeded eighty thousand.

While netizens were discussing it wildly, Lin Feng’s team was still located in the endless sea at this moment.

Inside the belly of a giant whale, under dim lights, Zhou Chengfeng’s expression was somewhat confused, as if he hadn’t come back to his senses.

”You killed Yue Ming?”

His gaze swept over Lin Feng and the others, disbelief in his eyes.

He knew best who Yue Ming was.

Although that disgusting fellow didn’t have long to live, it didn’t mean Yue Ming wasn’t powerful!

Having lived long enough, he had dabbled in every Martial Skill, and with his insight and combat experience, he was even more troublesome than most Emperors.

Even when suppressing his strength, he was terrifyingly strong, and with the Martial Emperor capable of body Elementalization, he could ignore most attacks.

Zhou Chengfeng couldn’t understand how this team, without even a King, managed to kill a Martial Emperor Powerhouse, especially in a situation where they neither had the advantage in strength nor in numbers.

”Of course.” Yu Qiao said faintly.

Not to mention the old man, even they felt somewhat dumbfounded.

The Divine Level Soul Skill [Aging] turned out to be terrifying like this.

Of course, it was also because that Martial Emperor Powerhouse was too unlucky.

He encountered Lin Feng.

For someone who didn’t have long to live, what Soul Skill could be more terrifying than [Aging]?

They didn’t explain the specific reasons to Zhou Chengfeng.

Having two Divine Level Soul Skills was already amazing enough, three Divine Level Soul Skills, what concept was that?

Even an Extraordinary Powerhouse might not possess even one Divine Level Soul Skill.

Three Divine Level Soul Skills, it sounded like a myth.

”I used the [Aging] Soul Skill.”

Lin Feng said directly.

Since the [Aging] Soul Skill was used, it would be hard to hide for long, not to mention possessing more than just three Divine Level Soul Skills.

Lin Feng hoped to avoid exposing his trump cards before becoming a King.

Not to reveal the existence of Nightmare.

If it really got exposed, there was nothing to fear.

The worst-case scenario would be going on the run, then hiding in a Space Gate and never coming out.

”Three Divine Level Soul Skills?”

Zhou Chengfeng looked at Lin Feng.

He didn’t know Lin Feng.

But he just learned from his grandson who Lin Feng was.

Knew who performed the Stand Soul Skill to save him.

He had heard of Lin Feng’s name.

Even inside the sealed cave, many Alien Races talked about this name.

When those Alien Races mentioned this name, there was resentment and helplessness in their tone.

And a hint of greed and desire.

The sky-high bounty was also very enticing to the Alien Race.

This was a prodigy who killed Alien Races to the point where they trembled with fear at his name.

When he first heard of Lin Feng’s battle record, he also felt extremely proud and relieved.

He just never expected that one day he would come into contact with Lin Feng.

And be saved by Lin Feng.

Yun Kai and the others’ expressions changed slightly, but they quickly returned to normal.

This matter indeed couldn’t be hidden for long.

After all, the White Ghost Infant containing the [Aging] Soul Skill was provided by the higher-ups, and Zhou Chengfeng could guess the reason as soon as he inquired.

”Illusion, Stand, Aging, three Divine Level Soul Skills.”

Zhou Chengfeng’s eyes scrutinized Lin Feng.

Three Divine Level Soul Skills, let alone absorbing them, even finding them was extremely difficult.

He didn’t know Lin Feng’s true strength, but he knew this couldn’t be explained just by innate talent.

Divine Level Soul Skills, even for an Extraordinary Powerhouse, might not have a hundred percent absorption success rate.

Exceeding a success rate of forty percent would be very good.

With Lin Feng’s status, it was impossible to have a vast amount of Divine Level Soul Skills to absorb.

Therefore, Lin Feng must have a secret.

A secret that increased the success rate of Soul Skill absorption, or even ensured a hundred percent success rate.

But what this secret was, he couldn’t guess.

”I hope Elder Zhou can conceal the existence of Yue Ming.”

Lin Feng didn’t intend to beat around the bush, he spoke directly.

With such smart people, there’s no point in beating around the bush or lying.

The higher-ups did not inform them of Yue Ming’s existence, clearly unaware of the connection between Zhou Chengfeng’s imprisonment and this Emperor.

Hiding Yue Ming’s existence meant concealing the [Aging] soul skill.

”Alright.”

Zhou Chengfeng suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded in agreement.

Although this rescue mission was issued by the higher-ups, the truth is, Lin Feng had saved his life.

The achievements of Lin Feng are enough to prove his position.

”Why was Elder Zhou imprisoned?” Lin Feng asked.

This was also what others were curious about.

As a savior, Zhou Chengfeng did not hide anything and directly revealed the answer.

”The strongest brain!”

Exclamations of amazement rang out.

Now they finally understood why the alien race imprisoned this old man.

And why the higher-ups were willing to pay such a huge price to rescue him.

Yun Kai’s eyes moved slightly, looking at Lin Feng.

Could Zhou Chengfeng, with the strongest brain, solve the aftereffects of Lin Feng’s bodily assimilation?

Even if he couldn’t solve it, he might have a way to alleviate it!

Lin Feng sensed Yun Kai’s gaze and shook his head slightly.

He understood Yun Kai’s meaning, but before becoming a King, he did not want to reveal Nightmare’s existence.

It wasn’t just a simple Demon Spirit.

Even Yun Kai and the others didn’t know the true identity of this Demon Spirit.

”Elder Zhou, the evolution route for the Ghostly Serpent has three paths. Which one do you think I should take, or is there a new path?”

Knowing Zhou Chengfeng’s ability, Yu Qiao approached with a flattering face to seek advice.

Others also shared their regular cultivation challenges.

Having gained freedom, and facing their savior, Zhou Chengfeng was naturally open and forthcoming.

Like this, everyone stayed inside the body of the Sea Whale for five days. This time, no one felt bored, everyone gained something.

Even Lin Feng was no exception.

”Time really flies!”

When everyone left Dahai and set foot on land, walking out of the Space Gate, there was a hint of reluctance.

If it were possible, they would have wanted to stay a few more days.

With Elder Zhou’s ability, such an opportunity would not come easily in the future.

Even if it did, it would likely require a considerable price to consult him.

Beep beep beep...

As Zhou Yi walked out of the Space Gate, a sensing device on him activated and started beeping.

Soon, Zhou Yi’s phone rang.

”Mission accomplished, my grandfather is back.”

Zhou Yi said excitedly holding the phone.

”Really? Stay where you are, we’ll send someone over right away!”

The voice on the other end was even more astonished, obviously not expecting this hell-level mission to be completed just like that.

Five minutes later, silhouettes flapped their wings appearing mid-air, surrounding them, among them were figures of Kings.

A man in military uniform landed, with wings disappearing as he scanned Lin Feng’s team. When his eyes stopped on Zhou Chengfeng, his body trembled slightly, his tone uncertain and amazed as he spoke:

”Elder Zhou?”

His mission was to protect Lin Feng’s team, but he didn’t expect to see a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

The person named Zhou Chengfeng had taught him before.

This man was Hua Country’s top scientist but was held captive by the alien race for thirty years, leaving his fate unknown.

”Li, long time no see.”

Zhou Chengfeng sighed emotionally.

It had been thirty years, and the once youthful boy had grown up and become a King.

”Elder Zhou, it really is you!”

The man referred to as Li had a trembling voice, his eyes slightly red.

He knew the significance of Elder Zhou’s return, more important than merely adding another Emperor.

Seeing Li Bing’s surprised expression and respectful tone, others, though unaware of who Zhou Chengfeng was, understood he was a significant figure, the true protection target!

”Li Bing, who is this?” a Guardian inquired.

”Identity is confidential!” Li Bing shook his head, speaking firmly.

The Guardian’s eyes flashed with surprise but did not continue to ask.

”Alright, enough sentimentality.”

Zhou Chengfeng smiled gently.

Li Bing asked a few more questions, then turned his attention to Lin Feng’s team, by now it was clear they had rescued Elder Zhou.

”You’ve done well.”

Li Bing saluted the group, showing some admiration.

Lin Feng just smiled without responding.

”Are you going to participate in the King Plan?”

Li Bing asked curiously.

Lin Feng’s team returned, outright requesting three spots, news so sensational that major media covered it, hard not to know.

But with only two days left until the end of the voting, he wondered how Lin Feng’s team planned to secure three spots.

”Yes.”

Lin Feng answered, then nodded to Zhou Chengfeng as a signal before leaving, with the others following closely.

In just over ten minutes, with five Kings arriving, staying any longer held no meaning.

With two days left, they had things to accomplish.
