Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 121: Chapter 107: A University Like a Fortress

Just as Lin Feng and his group appeared, the welcoming teachers waiting nearby noticed them early.

”Long time no see, Lin Feng!”

Jiang Hong appeared in front of Lin Feng with a playful smile. Her tall figure and eyes, as clear as a spring, flitted over the faces of Lin Feng’s group.

Originally, greeting new students wasn’t her task, but upon learning that Lin Feng might arrive in Guanglin today, she took leave to mix in with the welcoming team.

”Teacher Jiang.” Lin Feng raised his hand in greeting.

”Yun Kai, Dong Yunan!” Jiang Hong smiled at Yun Kai and Dong Yunan behind Lin Feng.

Yun Kai didn’t know Jiang Hong, but knowing she was acquainted with Lin Feng, he nodded slightly, looking somewhat cool.

Dong Yunan also returned the smile, revealing two dimples.

”Teacher Jiang, this must be the Lin Feng team you mentioned!”

There were five people in the welcoming team, three men and two women, besides Jiang Hong, there was a female teacher in her forties.

Standing beside Jiang Hong, she asked curiously with a hint of envy in her eyes.

After the college entrance examination results were published, recruitment tasks became the most important tasks for the Three Heroic Academies and Nine Elite Joint Schools.

Which university recruits more talents might stand out and receive more resources from the nation.

The academy cultivates students, and super talents can bring honor and benefits to the academy as well.

This recruitment task, Red Cloud University has 129 recruitment teachers, no one expected that Jiang Hong, still in the internship period and the least valued, achieved the most outstanding results.

Although Ye Qiu was admitted to Great Wall University, with the addition of Lin Feng’s trio, from the perspective of Jiang City Base City, Red Cloud was the biggest winner.

Many understood that Lin Feng’s trio joining wasn’t due to Jiang Hong’s eloquence or beauty, just sheer luck.

Initially, because of seniority, she could still pose a bit in front of Jiang Hong, sometimes even instruct her to do things, but now she didn’t dare.

Because of Lin Feng’s trio, Jiang Hong not only transitioned from intern to full-member but also received a cash reward of 300,000 from the academy, and praise from the recruitment office leadership, which made all the intern teachers, including her, envious and jealous.

”Alright, let’s head back to the academy!”

Jiang Hong didn’t introduce much, inviting Lin Feng’s trio onto the large bus parked beside them.

As for the 178 freshmen from Red Cloud University joining them, they were directly ignored; no one greeted or paid attention, making many uncomfortable, the expressions somewhat unsightly.

Being able to enter Red Cloud University, they are undoubtedly talents, growing up with praises and encouragement from parents and teachers, never experiencing such cold shoulders.

They weren’t displeased with Lin Feng’s trio receiving better treatment; they indeed deserved it.

Being from Jiang City, the stronger Lin Feng’s trio, the more honor it brought them.

But such a stark difference in treatment was too impersonal, wasn’t it?

No matter what, they were newcomers; a simple expression of concern, a warm smile wasn’t that hard, was it?

But from start to finish, the beautiful female teacher didn’t inquire even once, directly ignoring them.

”Get on the bus.”

The welcoming teachers noticed the dissatisfaction within this group of young students, exchanged glances, a trace of smile on their lips, but didn’t intend to comfort them, nor did they care.

Those admitted to Red Cloud are geniuses among their peers, but at Red Cloud, geniuses are everywhere!

Talent isn’t always synonymous with being outstanding!

Only those who stand out amongst their peers receive attention!

As teachers, this was their first lesson for the freshmen.

If Lin Feng’s trio didn’t have enough fame, exceptional talent, and the academy leadership’s high hopes, they too would be ignored.

Amidst various complex emotions, the group gradually boarded the bus.

The bus shuttled through the streets of Guanglin.

Lin Feng observed this unfamiliar city through the window.

As another Base City, Guanglin and Jiang City’s living standards and economic strengths weren’t significantly different.

Interconnected streets, continuous vehicle flow, bustling crowds, towering buildings, commercial squares, and martial arts dojos proliferated.

Lin Feng’s gaze lingered on the displays on the skyscrapers, noticing that in Guanglin, Glory Professional Players remained the mainstream endorsement for companies and groups.

Among them, members of the Fenghuo Team belonging to Fenghuo Club appeared most frequently.

The Fenghuo Club’s headquarters is in Guanglin.

As an S-grade club in the Glory Alliance, Fenghuo Team under its umbrella is one of the top ten clubs in the Glory Alliance.

Compared to Ju Xing’s alliance fame and Wind-Grabbing’s mighty rankings, Fenghuo remained relatively low-key, with moderate performance over the years, consistently hovering around seventh rank in the alliance.

Two hours later, the bus slowly stopped.

”Is this Red Cloud University?”

All students peered outside through the windows, their eyes filled with awe.

Despite having seen photos and videos, seeing it in person, they couldn’t believe the structure before them was a university.

This was clearly an enormous fortress!

The fortress appeared ancient, with a long history, towering solid city walls over twenty meters high stretched endlessly, covered in vines and thorns.

In strategic spots or corners, various modern weapons with immense destructive power were positioned.

This is not just a simple city, but a fortress of war.

Covering an area of fifty thousand acres, the city can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and is divided into four main gates to the east, west, south, and north.

The bus stopped at the East Gate, where a cluster of dazzling, unnamed red flowers formed the words ”Red Cloud” above the gate.

Although the architectural styles of universities across the country are diverse and varied, using a city as a campus is truly unique.

”They’re here, they’re here.”

Above the center of the city gate, there is an exquisite watchtower, where countless figures stand, at least two to three thousand people.

Most of them are sophomores and juniors.

For the students of Red Cloud University, the annual freshman enrollment is a lively and bustling selection event.

Lonely and eager seniors pick quality junior students.

University clubs select suitable talents.

Adventure teams pick suitable members.

However, compared to previous years, this year’s selection is obviously more lively and anticipated.

”There should be no mistake, I checked the information, this is the last batch from Jiang City, they must be in there.”

”I want to see what’s so special about the top scorer of the college entrance exam!”

”What’s so different about it, I’m curious about the half-beastman Yun Kai, it’s the first time I’ve heard of Ancestral Demonization, I really want to see what’s different!”

Many people were whispering and discussing.

As early as two months ago, word spread that the admissions office teachers went through great difficulties and snatched the top scorer Lin Feng, the half-beastman Yun Kai, and the Therapist Dong Yunan from the mouths of Great Wall and Demon Star, causing a heated discussion among the students.

The astronomical scholarship of one hundred million yuan a year also caused a sensation.

To know that in Red Cloud, even a ten million yuan scholarship is rare, given only to the most outstanding super geniuses of the year.

Even the captain of the Red Cloud Team only receives fifty million, when was there ever a hundred million?

For some wealthy families or corporate heirs, a hundred million is not a small amount. For students without families, this hundred million is astronomical.

Along with envy and jealousy, there was also curiosity.

And it is for this reason, today is exceptionally lively.

”They’re getting off, the one in black is Lin Feng, the tall one behind him is Yun Kai!”

When Lin Feng got off the bus, he was quickly spotted, and curious gazes rested upon him.

On one side of the watchtower stood thirteen young men and women, dressed in uniform red combat suits.

On their left chest were the gold-embroidered words ”Glory,” proving that they belonged to the Red Cloud University’s team.

Compared to the crowded crowd, these people were surrounded by somewhat empty space, with students occasionally casting envious and admiring glances at them.

Red Cloud University has over seventy thousand students, and becoming a member of the Red Cloud Team, these thirteen were truly rare talents, combining both skill and fighting prowess, envied by the entire school.

The resources they enjoy are unmatched by ordinary students.

Every year, the grants given by the school and education bureau are enough to ensure they don’t worry about basic cultivation resources.

If an important competition arises, such as the annual National College Glory Battle, they even receive support from the Guanglin government.

If they achieve results, the rewards are enough to entice all students.

”Yi Xing, take a look?”

Among the thirteen, a youth wielding a long knife looked down at Lin Feng with a hint of caution in his eyes, nudging the companion beside him with his shoulder.

The youth referred to as Yi Xing was slender, with an ordinary appearance that bore no distinctive features.

But his eyes were particularly captivating, with deep black pupils that occasionally flashed with a strange light, drawing people in unconsciously.

”No, my eyes hurt!”

Shaking his head, Wu Yixing directly refused without hesitation.

”Yi Xing, just look at Lin Feng, you’re the coolest.” Another long-haired young man said with a smile.

”I think it’s better to look at Yun Kai; I’m curious about the Ancestral Demonization!”

”Yi Xing, be a man, just be generous. At worst, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Everyone started persuading, but Wu Yixing remained unmoved. A mere meal couldn’t possibly settle him, his eyes were definitely worth more than that.

”A second-level Demon Spirit.”

Finally, with the promise of a second-level Demon Spirit, Wu Yixing agreed.

Actually, he was also curious about Lin Feng and Yun Kai, even if others hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have been able to resist taking a look.

Wu Yixing came before the crowd, his slender hands continuously changing hand seals, emitting a cold and wicked mental wave.

His body seemed to undergo slight changes, his whole person appearing to phantomize, but the most special change was in his previously deep black pupils, gradually spreading to cover his entire eyes.

His sclera disappeared, looking rather eerie.

Wu Yixing’s eyes shone even brighter, from afar they seemed to glow.

At this moment, his eyes were reflecting Lin Feng’s figure.....
