Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 808: Chapter 610: Forming a Team

Due to the rules, finding a suitable team willing to accept oneself in such a short time is not easy.

It’s been more than half an hour since Igor announced the rules of the third plan, and not a single team has been fully formed.

”This is the team of Alex, the Child of Light. The team currently has eighteen people, fifteen Spirit Kings, and three Martial Kings. We still need two Spirit Kings: one Assassin and one Magic Controller, preferably Wood Type.”

”Nikita, the Son of the Titans, is still lacking a Thunder Technique user, requiring Spirit King strength, who has refined an Earth Chart Demon Spirit and possesses two diamond-level attack soul skills.”

”Ivan, the Little Thunder God, still needs three people. Students with Spirit King strength can come and try, with no profession requirements.”

”Kitahara Sonosuke, the Ghost Stab team, still needs one Frenzy Warrior, with King Level strength required. Almost full.”

”The Witch Squad still needs ten people, only Magic Series, hurry up.”

”Martial King strength, refined a Seventh Tier Demon Spirit, seeking a team!”

”Nine-grade Demon Spirit Master, refined an Earth Chart Giant Puppet, at least two diamond soul skills.”

Various discussions and calls rose up one after another, the scene lively and chaotic, almost like a large-scale corporate recruitment fair.

Not only are major teams actively recruiting, but some students are also eagerly advertising and promoting themselves.

Although such behavior is demeaning, it’s hard for proud students to accept, but this is no time to care about face.

Among these teams, those led by Alex, the Child of Light, Nikita, the Son of the Titans, Kitahara Sonosuke, the Ghost Stab, and Ivan, the Little Thunder God, are the most popular and most sought after by students.

These four are all Spirit Kings, well-known and popular worldwide, but the threshold to join their teams is also the highest.

Starting uniformly from King Level.

Anyone below King Level would feel embarrassed to even ”apply.”

Moreover, even for King Level strongmen, it’s not a hundred percent guarantee of joining; some also require actual combat testing.

This is also one of the reasons forming a team takes a long time.

”Damn it.”

At this moment, Zhao Zhou emerged from the crowded crowd, his expression somewhat gloomy as he cursed.

He and Chen Junhao queued for three or four minutes, intending to join Alex’s team, but before they could even introduce themselves, they were directly rejected, which was hard to accept for the always smooth-sailing and prideful two.

Earlier in that team, Zhao Zhou also saw Xu Rongguang, and the other team members were all extremely troublesome characters.

Aside from being rejected, this was also why his mood was quite sour.

”Where to now? Besides Alex, Nikita’s team should be the strongest, and you share the same mentor with him.”

Zhao Zhou looked around, his tone slightly urgent as he asked.

Chen Junhao’s face didn’t look good at this moment either. After a pause, he said, ”Nikita and I are both in the Frenzy Warrior profession, there’s definitely no shortage of Warriors there. You, as an Agile Battle, still have hope, but not much. They’re looking for Magic Series as well, let’s go to Kitahara Sonosuke’s team.”

Their first choice was Alex’s team, recognized as the strongest team.

This was also why they were willing to queue despite their strengths.

If possible, Chen Junhao also hoped to join Nikita, the Son of the Titans’ team.

After all, that was the entity ranked second on the first plan ”Heaven-Ascending Ladder,” and the first to apprentice under Gustav, known for unparalleled physical strength and dubbed by the media as the Son of the Titans.

He didn’t want to become his opponent.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, Chen Junhao knew he wasn’t Nikita’s opponent, and among students in the warrior profession, there should be no one who could rival him either.

And Kitahara Sonosuke, the Ghost Stab, comes from Japan, only 32 this year, younger than them.

Although his fame is slightly less than Alex’s and Nikita’s, his deterrent power is even greater than the two because he is an Assassin.

One of the world’s five recognized genius Assassins.

Before participating in the King Becoming plan, he was already a Half-Step Spirit King Realm; now he has long since entered the Spirit King Realm, possibly even a Double King powerhouse.

”That’s the only option.”

Zhao Zhou nodded, not daring to hesitate much. If the other side has filled their followers, or same profession followers, no matter how strong they are, it won’t be any use, and they will have no choice left afterward.

While many students are constantly ”applying” in various teams, Lin Feng and his group, standing in place without any action, seemed out of place, attracting the attention of many mentors.

”Haha, looks like they plan to use an alliance as a team, really as confident as always!”

A mentor laughed and said, with a bit of doubt in his tone, but without any mockery.

It’s worth noting that Alex, the Child of Light, and Nikita, the Son of the Titans’ teams, are uniformly composed of Kings.

And they are leaders among Kings.

Despite this, Lin Feng and his group still had no intention of joining other teams.

If it is said that Lin Feng and the others, not having achieved King Becoming, have self-knowledge, knowing their strength makes joining strong teams difficult, so they give up hope, then Yun Kai’s group already achieving King Becoming has a significant chance of joining teams like Alex’s.

In other words, they have confidence they can advance smoothly.

This inexplicable confidence is both surprising and admirable.

”Perhaps they plan to get eliminated together!”

Hequan Chebai said plainly.

He couldn’t imagine the Avengers Alliance not getting eliminated.

Unless they found someone to guard a flag.

But according to the rules, if a team only has one flag, this flag can only ensure they are not eliminated; it offers no point rewards and cannot be transferred to other teams.

The team defending the flag won’t have any benefits.

This kind of thankless task, which easily incurs resentment, is something no team is willing to do.

Unless Lin Feng’s team has multiple flags, then they can keep one Fire Banner, and use the rest as protection fees.

But teams willing to defend their flags probably aren’t very strong, and the truly strong teams aim to take everything, making the pot bigger for more points.

”The Avengers Alliance reportedly has four Kings, they are not considered weak among the 55 teams, and with their reputation, no one might challenge them with one flag,”

Leng Feng speculated.

His speculation received recognition from several mentors.

Alice silently watched in the direction where Lin Feng stood, for some reason, she felt there might be a surprise this time.

The reason was simple, because Lin Feng’s team was too calm.

They were just standing there, as if they were the audience, watching other students perform.

While the mentors were discussing and speculating, Yu Qiao was already weaving through the various students, searching for target customers.

He specifically picked those who had few companions by their side and looked confused and helpless.

”This guy looks like he has no money.”

”This guy looks too ugly and is badly dressed, definitely a pauper too.”

”This guy’s really fat, he’s the one.”

While Yu Qiao was gossiping, he quickly spotted a target customer.

It was a chubby guy with blond hair and blue eyes, looking harmless and somewhat forlorn.

Among Warriors and Demon Spirit Masters, chubby guys are rare, and even rarer among the King Becoming program students, you could call them one in a million.

From the chubby physique and forlorn figure, Yu Qiao could see two points.

First point: This guy isn’t short on money, probably bought the student slot.

Second point: He’s not eliminated yet in the second plan, must be connected to a mentor.

”Hey, there’s a spot left in the Avengers Alliance, interested?”

Yu Qiao approached the chubby guy, asking quietly with a sneaky demeanor, looking like he was up to no good.

Baron was slightly stunned, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly nodded, ”Interested, interested.”

He had tried joining other teams but no team wanted him.

With him being a standard Ninth Grade, without advantages in soul skills and demon spirits, he ended up teaming up with other unwanted students.

The Avengers Alliance has four Kings, naturally inferior to strong teams like Alex, but also far superior to average teams, considering many teams don’t even have a single King.

As for the sneaky squinty eyes before him, Baron recognized him; it’s Yu Qiao from the Avengers Alliance, known for targeting private areas and fighting with a sleazy stealth style, an Assassin.

Yeah, you could definitely call him a pervert.

”What’s the charge?”

Baron asked.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, even if there was, it wouldn’t be his turn.

With his ability, the Avengers Alliance wouldn’t personally recruit him.

”It’s cheap, a month’s worth of Origin Power,”

Yu Qiao said, without giving Baron time to react, he continued, ”No bargaining, it’s already cheap, plus you won’t get point rewards, only ensuring you won’t be eliminated. If we fail, I won’t take your Origin Power, and will compensate you with ten billion New Coin, you won’t lose out.”

Baron’s brows furrowed, he didn’t answer immediately, thinking for a while.

”What are you hesitating for, with your skills, what qualifies you to think? Hurry, there’s only one spot left, I’m not waiting for you to contemplate life,” Yu Qiao urged impatiently.

”Okay.”

Urged by Yu Qiao and with a bit of mockery, Baron dared not hesitate, nodding reluctantly with a bitter smile.

He wasn’t humiliated or angered.

Yu Qiao’s words were harsh, but indeed true.

With his ability, he certainly can’t join a strong team, ninety-nine percent chance of elimination.

Still eliminated in the first round, the kind of elimination.

Joining Lin Feng’s team offers some hope. Anyway, failure doesn’t cost him, and he could earn ten billion.

There’s indeed an Emperor boss behind him, and that boss is one of the fifteen Emperor mentors, which is why he could take mentorship.

A month’s Origin Power is within his acceptable range.

”Alright, just go find Lin Feng’s team yourself,” Yu Qiao said and started to leave.

”Why in such a hurry?”

Baron couldn’t help but ask.

”Just opened shop, still have two slots to sell,”

Yu Qiao casually said, then quickly went invisible and disappeared.

”...” Baron was left dumbfounded.
