Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 65: Chapter 59: Glory Rookie Rankings

In the reception room.

Lin Feng used his phone to transfer 4.36 million to the designated account provided by the sales lady, and then received two contracts.

A four-bedroom, one living room, and two bathrooms, with an area of 146 square meters, originally priced at 7.27 million, now priced at 2.18 million, that’s quite a discount.

At this moment, a satisfied smile appeared on Old Ma and Lin Fang’s faces.

Although they knew the sales manager gave a discount because of Lin Feng’s fame, such a low discount was something they negotiated, giving both a sense of achievement.

”Lin Feng, you just need to sign your name here.” The sales manager personally greeted.

”Hmm, thank you.”

Lin Feng expressed his gratitude, handing one of the contracts to Gao Hai.

As Gao Hai received the contract, his hands trembled slightly.

Signing his name, this 146-square-meter house in the Inner City would belong to him.

Was a lifelong dream realized so easily?

At this moment, Gao Hai thought of his equally chubby brother and his parents working hard in the factory; if they knew, they might faint from happiness.

Gao Hai couldn’t wait to share the news with his family.

”He actually gave it away!” The sales manager was very surprised.

The sales lady who had previously attended to Lin Feng told him, and he had been skeptical.

Indeed, he is a prodigy!

Even at just sixteen, he casually gave away a house worth over 7 million.

The sales manager sighed.

”Excuse me, Lin Feng, I’ll be back soon.” The sales manager signaled to the sales supervisor beside him.

He felt the need to report this news to the leadership.

Giving away a house so casually indicates that Lin Feng doesn’t care about the 7 million; this confidence suggests that the news about Lin Feng refining an Earth Chart Demon Spirit might not be false.

A prodigy who can refine an Earth Chart Demon Spirit would likely need the leadership’s support.

Because it was a full payment, Lin Feng and Gao Hai quickly completed the procedures, each receiving a key.

”Brother, I want to see the house again.” As soon as he got the key, Ma Lele said excitedly.

This was also what Lin Fang and others thought.

Although they had just seen it, it was a whirlwind tour led by the sales lady, so they didn’t look carefully. Now that they had the keys and needed to buy furniture, they naturally had to take a closer look.

”I’ll leave it to you then.” Lin Feng handed the key to his sister.

Just as Lin Feng’s family was about to leave the reception room, the sales manager returned, and as he came back, he said cheerfully, ”Lin Feng, our leadership has specially assigned me to help you select and purchase furniture as a token of gratitude for choosing our Tingfeng Garden community, and our company will cover the costs.”

He had just called the company’s leadership, sharing his speculation.

For a teenager who might become a great star of Glory, even the leadership couldn’t ignore him. After spending almost 10 million, what’s an extra million on furniture?

If they can foster a good relationship, it is definitely a wise move.

”Furniture as well?”

Old Ma felt that the world had changed overnight.

”Thank you.” Lin Feng nodded, not minding too much.

”Lin Feng, can we take a photo together?” the sales manager asked.

Having received both the house and furniture, the request from the opposite side was apparent, so Lin Feng naturally did not refuse.

”Alright.”

Under the lead of the sales manager, Lin Feng and Gao Hai held the keys, and together with the sales manager and over twenty sales ladies, they took a photo outside the sales center.

This seemingly ordinary photo quickly caused a stir on the Martial Artist forum.

...

In the Jiang City section of the Martial Artist forum, when the photo of Lin Feng buying a house in Tingfeng Garden appeared in the comments section of the ”High School Student Defeating Martial Artist” post, it quickly ignited the passion of online users.

Just yesterday, most users were still questioning Lin Feng’s ability to become a Demon Spirit Master, but by dawn, there was news that Lin Feng had signed with Huating, with a contract and photo showing an endorsement fee as high as 18 million.

Even so, many people questioned the authenticity of the news, thinking it was Lin Feng’s self-promotion.

But now, at noon, Lin Feng bought a house in Tingfeng Garden.

This couldn’t be faked, as many people witnessed it personally.

”Wow, the unit price per square meter in Tingfeng Garden is 45,000. Lin Feng really endorsed Huating.”

”I heard Lin Feng’s house was bought at a 30% discount, and he bought two sets at once!”

”30% discount, so generous? He’s just made a million, seems like money’s as easy for him as picking it up.”

”This is such a slap in the face. Yesterday I mocked him for not being able to sell ad space; today, he lands an 18 million endorsement and makes another few million—left me stunned.”

The comments section blew up with netizens’ fervent discussions.

”Did you notice that chubby guy next to Lin Feng?”

Some netizens spotted Gao Hai in the photo.

The chubby guy, who looked like a big-headed doll, stood beside Lin Feng, beaming, with a bunch of keys in his hand.

”That’s Lin Feng’s desk mate; they grew up together and also live in the Shore District,” a user with the nickname ”I’m Lin Feng’s Big Brother” revealed.

This revelation was quickly verified.

Many netizens followed up by sharing photos of the two desk mates, showing them still youthful, likely taken years ago, along with another photo of Lin Feng and Gao Hai being watched by neighbors in the Shore District today.

So netizens went wild.

”Wow, did Lin Feng buy a house for his neighbor? That’s incredible!”

”I want a good desk mate like that too.”

”I just want to ask, are the two of them a couple?”

The news that Lin Feng not only bought a house for himself but also for his desk mate was even more shocking than Lin Feng defeating a Martial Artist.

At that moment, the skepticism about Lin Feng among netizens minified considerably.

If Lin Feng truly had no Soul Cultivation talent, this hard-earned 18 million would be spent sparingly; he wouldn’t be so extravagant.

Giving away a house worth millions? Even a billionaire might not dare.

As netizens continued to buzz, the Glory Professional Alliance released the latest rookie rankings.

The Glory Rookie Rankings—a list created by the Glory Professional Alliance.

It selects young talents aged 20 and under, evaluated on their talent, combat ability, and future development potential, making it the most authoritative rookie list.

This is the most watched list by numerous clubs, who often refer to it when signing players.

Without a doubt, everyone who makes it onto the Rookie Rankings is a genius and a future star of the Glory Alliance.

The Glory Rookie Rankings are updated every month, and this time three people from Jiang City dropped off the list, with nine new entries, including Ye Qiu.

The Glory Rookie Rankings have 288 positions.

Ye Qiu is ranked 19th, and no one questioned this ranking.

With Ye Qiu’s martial arts talent and the Thorny Demon Dragon ranked 46th on the Earth Chart, his future is undeniably bright, and this ranking isn’t even high—it’s expected to rise once he enters college and participates in the Glory League.

What truly surprised netizens was Lin Feng’s appearance on the list, landing at 288th place, the last spot.

Although Lin Feng is last, it’s enough to astonish netizens.

Bear in mind, Lin Feng is still a senior high student; the list includes many talents who only made it in their sophomore or junior years, and he’s the only one on the list without a refined Demon Spirit.

Being able to rank on the Glory Rookie List without refining a Demon Spirit highlights his extraordinary combat talent.

The analysis of Lin Feng on the Rookie Rankings left netizens’ blood boiling.

The commentary read: ”A 16-year-old boy, with exceptional physical and spiritual control abilities, has achieved 21 techniques in the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques. His combat talent far exceeds his peers. If he can refine a Ninth Grade Demon Spirit, a spot in the top ten is possible.”

The comment attributed Lin Feng’s combat talent to his exceptional control over his body and mind, which enlightened netizens.

But that Lin Feng could achieve 21 out of the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques is almost terrifying to all netizens.

The Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques are the basis of martial arts that everyone knows; even those without martial arts talent know a few poses, but being able to achieve 21 techniques is unheard of.

If it were not for the credibility of the Rookie Rankings, netizens would have outright cursed.

Knowing Lin Feng’s remarkable control abilities, it’s no wonder his cultivation speed is exceptional when he claims to have hidden talents with the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques at 21 techniques.

The Rookie Rankings also outright stated that if Lin Feng can refine an Advanced Demon Spirit, his potential might even surpass that of Ye Qiu.

Netizens were in an uproar, not just in Jiang City but across the entire Martial Artist forum.

The Glory Professional Alliance’s Zhou Fu laughed as his hotel became packed with customers at that noon.

The directors at Tingfeng Garden were also pleased; with Lin Feng gaining such widespread attention online, their community became renowned throughout Jiang City.
