Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 770: Chapter 579: Criticism

Those who can participate in the King Program and obtain a spot as a trainee are all elite fighters beneath the King level.

Even if their assistants are relatively weaker, they still cannot be underestimated, and there are no shortage of well-known figures among them.

Having survived the first and second phases of the program, those who remain have a certain confidence in their own strength or talent.

Even so, no one is willing to be the ”first to stand out.”

Even those trainees who have already become Kings are no exception.

The strength of a King doesn’t have much appeal to the mentors.

The trainees who have persisted until now all have the potential to become Kings.

The power of a King has its advantages, but the advantage is not significant; it doesn’t add many points. In the performance showcase, strength is just a foundation, with the main display being unique talents.

Among the 1,751 trainees, there are still abilities that stand out.

Seeing that no trainee was coming forward, many mentors in mid-air frowned slightly, showing not just impatience, but also dissatisfaction with the trainees.

Two minutes passed, and just as the atmosphere was becoming awkward, someone finally stepped forward.

A young man dressed in black combat suit, standing over 1.8 meters tall, with blonde hair and blue eyes, looking to be in his thirties, with a Western face.

”It’s Tennyson.”

Many were slightly surprised, recognizing him among thousands of trainees, enough to prove that he was quite famous.

After stepping out from the crowd, Tennyson tapped the ground lightly with his right foot, leaping up and landing on the Golden Stage.

He looked toward the mentors’ direction, bowed slightly, and introduced himself: ”My name is Tennyson, from Oni Country, 32 years old, a Nine-Star Demon Spirit Master, refined an Earth Chart Demon Spirit, Giant Puppet.”

Lin Feng’s gaze swept over Tennyson.

Oni Country, a small Western nation he had never heard of.

For such a small country, obtaining a spot in the King Program is not easy, often requiring the nation’s combined efforts.

A King might be nothing to a large country.

For instance, Hua Country has more than a dozen Guardians in just one Base City.

For small countries, there may be only one or two Kings, making King Level the peak power of a nation, crucial to the nation’s fate and survival.

The King Program is significant to Tennyson, and equally significant to Oni Country.

”Displaying the Demon Spirit?” Dong Yunan asked curiously.

”Probably not,” Lin Feng replied.

Though the Earth Chart Giant Puppet is rare, this Demon Spirit rank doesn’t count for much among trainees. Securing an invitation card with a Lifebound Demon Spirit isn’t that easy.

After a brief self-introduction, under the gaze of the trainees and mentors, and within the camera lenses, Tennyson began to showcase his abilities.

His talent was not a Demon Spirit but a set of remarkable Combined Soul Skills, which could integrate with Martial Skills.

After showcasing his abilities, Tennyson once again slightly bowed toward the mentors as a sign of respect.

Unfortunately, no mentor offered an invitation card.

Tennyson shook his head, revealing a slight bitter smile, and jumped off the stage.

With a reference example, others were no longer as hesitant to present themselves.

Those with talents no match for Tennyson gave up hope directly.

One by one, trainees took the stage to showcase, each with notable strength and talent.

”Go for it!”

Amidst Dong Yunan’s cheers, Yun Kai was the twenty-first to appear on stage, sparking discussions immediately upon his entrance.

”Yun Kai actually came out.”

”His talent is indeed impressive, but his strength is just at the Eighth Grade, right?”

”Standing out with just Eighth Grade courage is no easy feat.”

”Have you forgotten about He Jun from the Avengers Alliance? That guy possesses a sacrificial-type Demon Spirit.”

Among trainees, Yun Kai’s talent is undoubted, but in people’s impressions, his strength should not be strong, and he shouldn’t have the confidence to showcase his abilities.

”My name is Yun Kai, 21 years old, a Nine-Star Demon Spirit Master, with a Lifebound Demon Spirit, Earth Chart Golden Lion King, possessing Ancestral Demonization bloodline.”

Yun Kai’s self-introduction caused a wave of astonishment, not because of his talent but because of his strength.

At 21, reaching Fifth Grade is already a benchmark for a super genius, reaching Sixth Grade is that of an extraordinary genius.

There aren’t many worldwide.

Due to the Avengers Alliance continuously sealing off Eighth Star level Space Gates, and rumors that He Jun possesses a sacrificial-type Demon Spirit capable of quickly boosting team members’ strength, people predicted Yun Kai to be at most Seventh Grade, or at best Eighth Grade.

A 21-year-old at Eighth Grade is already incredible; who would have thought Yun Kai had reached Nine-Star Demon Spirit Master.

”Yun Kai is already a Nine-Star Demon Spirit Master, then what about the other members of the Avengers Alliance...”

Someone speculated, the more they thought, the more plausible it became.

The more they thought, the more they were shocked.

Originally believed to be mere participants for gaining experience, who would have thought they all had the potential to become Kings.

The Avengers Alliance, known members numbering seventeen, perhaps lacking nothing if they were just seventeen geniuses, but what if there were seventeen Kings?

Seventeen Kings, no force can underestimate, especially since these Kings have extraordinary talents; even emperors must give them a wide berth when encountering them.

Yun Kai’s strength sent waves of shock through the trainees and mentors; compared to Yun Kai, He Jun garnered even more attention.

”An enviable ability.”

”Why don’t I have such a teammate?”

”Even if you have a teammate like He Jun, to share this sacrificial ability, you also have to absorb the Soul Skill of the Little Green Monster.”

”A useless Soul Skill, who would want to absorb it? The success rate of absorbing that Soul Skill is also woefully low.”

”No wonder Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing would want to join the Avengers Alliance.”
