Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 206: Chapter 168: Refinement of the Second Demon Spirit

After a slight dizziness, what appeared before Lin Feng was a place resembling a village.

This was a village established outside the forest.

In the village, you could see adventure squads of five or six people everywhere. The members were young men and women around twenty years old. Obviously, they were all students from Red Cloud University.

”As expected of Red Cloud University!” Lin Feng thought to himself.

In Jiang City’s ’Senhai’, entering that space gate leaves an impression of horror and fear at first glance.

The massive mountain is embedded with densely packed cards, each an identity card, with scattered Netherworld Coins and offerings on the ground, which could terrify anyone entering for the first time.

Lin Feng was no exception back then.

On the other hand, ’Honglian’ leaves a good impression at first glance, somewhat like entering a bustling military town.

In Jiang City, Senhai is ranked ’1’ among the 46 space gates, being the lowest-ranked space gate and suppressing martial artists above the Second Grade.

Whereas Honglian ranks ’8’ in the 68 space gates of Guanglin, suppressing martial artists above the Fourth Grade.

Compared to ’Senhai’, the monster levels here are higher and more dangerous, but as Red Cloud University’s backyard, ’Honglian’ has been developed very well.

Given the overall strength of Red Cloud University students, besides the monsters, almost no alien race dares to appear in this space gate.

In front of Lin Feng, a small military base was built with the layered, glowing space gate as the center. Various equipment, like assault rifles and rocket launchers, were seen everywhere. Buildings were available for sleeping and resting, and there were restaurants and supermarkets providing supplies.

To establish a base of such scale in the Otherworld, besides Red Cloud, there aren’t many other places that could do it.

”The cunning guy is here.”

The cunning guy had quite a reputation, drawing quite a bit of attention as soon as he appeared.

”Why is he here? With his strength, he should be at ’Qi Feng’.”

”Didn’t you see he brought a few unfamiliar rookies? Huh, Lin Feng and Yun Kai!”

Seemingly aware of being the topic of discussion, Yu Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly, scanning the surroundings. The original whispers and gazes disappeared instantly, and everyone picked up their pace, minding their own business.

In ’Honglian’, Yu Qiao was evidently a dominant figure, whom nobody dared to provoke lightly.

”Are you going to look for some Demon Spirit?”

The Thief King of the Peak Squad, Zhan Peng, asked Lin Feng.

They only knew the mission was to find a Demon Spirit. Lin Feng didn’t specify, and they didn’t ask. With their Silver Squad’s strength, few monsters in Honglian could threaten them.

And those powerful monsters would be useless with the strength of these rookies.

”Li Lake,” Lin Feng said.

Hearing the destination, everyone was slightly taken aback.

”Li Lake is just filled with carp, all sorts of non-graded carp, can’t see many low-level monsters. What are you rookies going there for?” Yu Qiao asked.

Lin Feng glanced at the cunning guy: ”It’s just a half-day escort mission. Even for a Silver Squad, 300 points would be enough at such a low-level space gate. Do you know why I’m offering 500 points?”

Yu Qiao frowned: ”Why?”

He truly didn’t know; perhaps he thought the moneyed person jests.

Lin Feng: ”When the money is generous, just do more and talk less.”

”Oh boy, little...”

The cunning guy never expected this answer, or that with his strength and prestige, a freshman would dare to provoke him. Instantly, he raised an eyebrow, ready to educate Lin Feng on respecting senior students.

But before he could finish, he was forcibly dragged away by his teammates.

”Yu Qiao, if you don’t want the task, let’s withdraw now.”

”Five hundred points, you could get 1.5 million. Think of the debts you owe.”

”Right, if you want to bully freshmen, don’t start with the newcomer king.”

While supporting the struggling Yu Qiao, the teammates kindly advised.

Finally secured a task, 500 points in half a day—it’s rare to meet such a wealthy client for years, don’t let the cunning guy’s big mouth ruin it.

If it were other freshmen, they wouldn’t mind. Given the cunning guy’s reputation, even if he’s mouthy, generally people wouldn’t dare mess with him. But clearly, Lin Feng wasn’t just anyone.

This year’s top scorer in the college entrance exam!

Holder of the First Throne, the newcomer king of the year!

They genuinely feared the two would brawl immediately.

Luckily, Yu Qiao wasn’t foolish. After a few struggles, he relented.

Though arrogant, Yu Qiao wasn’t dumb.

Regarding Lin Feng, he genuinely didn’t dare act rashly.

Even if Lin Feng was just a Second Grade martial artist and hadn’t refined a Demon Spirit, for a Demon Fiend, particularly someone like Lin Feng who defied logic, predicting his progress was impossible. Who knows when he’ll catch up?

Lin Feng’s ruthlessness and decisiveness were known to those who watched the Throne Challenge. No one wants to provoke such a rival lightly.

Not to mention, accompanying this rival was another equally extraordinary Yun Kai.

As for Dong Yunan, that goes without saying. Being a Therapist, they might even need her help at some point.

Without Yu Qiao’s nonsense, the journey was noticeably quieter.

The Peak Squad was evidently not unfamiliar with Li Lake, and it wasn’t far, just a two-hour walk.

Leaving the military base and truly entering the monster-filled forest, Lin Feng and the other two were protected by the squad. Apart from being disturbed by some Poisonous Insects, the journey went smoothly.

For the Peak Squad, the low-level monsters in Honglian posed hardly any significant threat.

Even when encountering a Fourth Grade monster, Yu Qiao sensed it in advance and resolved it with a dagger.
