Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 601: Chapter 434: The News Arrives

The battle achievements of Lin Feng’s team within the Maple Forest Space Gate, as well as the successive blockade of eight Space Gates, have caused a sensation nationwide and even worldwide.

This has also led major powers to no longer question the strength of Lin Feng’s team.

At this time, many factions and consortia were seeking cooperation.

However, since Lin Feng’s team had already returned to Red Cloud University, they could only be contacted through others.

Unfortunately, even when they managed to contact someone, there was no response for a long time.

After returning to Red Cloud, Lin Feng’s team seemed to disappear without a trace, with no news and no appearances in any public places.

At this moment, no one knew that the members of Lin Feng’s team were all sleeping.

After successive blockages of eight Space Gates, from day to night, they were almost continuously fighting. Although their physical strength was maintained at peak condition and their strength continued to improve, their spirits were extremely exhausted.

Now, with the opportunity to rest, they naturally needed to have a good sleep.

This sleep lasted for two days, during which they neither woke up nor ate.

After Lin Feng’s team woke up, a message was immediately released.

The moment this message appeared, it dominated the news headlines.

[Lin Feng’s Team: Accepting missions to blockade Seven-Star and Eight-Star level Space Gates, with prices starting at ten billion depending on the task difficulty!]

This was today’s headline in major news outlets!

Although it seemed like just the release of a mission announcement, it caused huge discussions worldwide.

The task of blockading Space Gates was not unprecedented; it had happened before but was extremely rare because few forces and organizations had the power to complete such a mission.

Even if completed, the losses would be significant.

Only if the mission payment was very high would any force consider taking it on.

The conservative estimate for such tasks was at least a starting price of one hundred billion.

Yet, Lin Feng’s team started at merely ten billion, one-tenth of the price, which was excessively cheap.

From some powers’ point of view, this was incredibly considerate.

They had originally prepared to offer more money!

It is well known that some resources inside Other-dimensional Space Gates, such as rare minerals, are very valuable, and even just sealing the gate temporarily yields profits far exceeding ten billion.

People were amazed at Lin Feng’s team’s strength while also admiring their courage.

Previously, even if a force could accept such a task, they wouldn’t announce it publicly, as it would provoke retaliation from the Alien Races and the New World.

Lin Feng’s team was the first power to dare issue such a mission.

Every one of them was already bountied, and they weren’t afraid of retaliation from Alien Race forces at all.

Just an hour after the message was announced, Yang Fan and Gao Hai stepped out of the villa and headed toward the Jianghu Martial Arts Club.

While Lin Feng’s team was sleeping these past days, they took care of meals and managed matters at the Martial Arts Club; now, going out was also part of their mission.

”Gao Hai, Yang Fan, where are you heading?”

”Big Head, what is Lin Feng up to? In seclusion?”

”What’s going on?”

”Haven’t seen you guys recently; let’s hang out when you have time.”

Numerous students greeted Gao Hai and Yang Fan enthusiastically along the way.

Although Gao Hai and Yang Fan’s strengths were rather average, merely at the Second Grade at Red Cloud University, and considered among the weakest there.

However, as the two Chief Stewards of the Jianghu Martial Arts Club, they were quite popular and regarded as notable figures; before this, aside from the student council, no one dared provoke them.

Now, with Lin Feng’s team back, the student council couldn’t be any more low-key.

Gao Hai and Yang Fan enjoyed good rapport, widely recognized and respected, resulting in many greetings from the crowd.

Both Gao Hai and Yang Fan responded to each one, but compared to the past, there was now an overwhelming enthusiasm, the crowd kept growing, and finally, the two were completely surrounded.

”Gao Hai, why haven’t we seen Lin Feng’s team?”

”Exactly, what’s their purpose at Red Cloud?”

”Yeah, even Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi are here! Must be something big.”

Facing a barrage of questions from the students, Yang Fan helplessly raised his hand, shouting, ”Stop, stop, listen to me.”

The crowd finally quieted down.

Yang Fan said, ”This time, Lin Feng’s team indeed has a big plan, but there are conditions!”

”What big plan? What conditions?”

Someone excitedly inquired.

”You’ve been too optimistic; it doesn’t have much to do with you!”

Yang Fan replied with a grin.

”You rascal, you talk too much nonsense.”

This statement aroused dissatisfaction from everyone, who ignored Yang Fan, turning to the honest-looking Gao Hai: ”Big Head, you tell us what’s going on.”

Gao Hai smiled, not bothering with suspense, and said directly:

”You’ve seen the news, so you should know that Lin Feng’s team is going to seal numerous Space Gates next. Since it’s sealing the Space Gates, there will inevitably be some harvests; however, the most important thing is the Demon Spirits. Lin Feng’s team plans to recruit some people, who can follow them and select the Demon Spirits they desire.”

”If you find resources yourself, such as some Treasures of Heaven and Earth and weapons, those belong to you; Lin Feng’s team won’t take them.”

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere on site turned instantly fervent.

For Demon Spirit Masters, nothing is more important than Soul Skills.

At Seven-Star and Eight-Star level Space Gates, what appears are almost all Advanced Demon Beasts, with even Ninth Tier Demon Beasts possibly appearing. Everyone knows what this means, even a fool does.

It means freely choosing Soul Skills.

No need to consider success rates.

If it fails, keep absorbing; after all, there are so many Demon Spirits!

”What abilities are required?”

A tall, slim young man asked.

He was a top expert on the senior year’s Wind and Cloud Chart, very confident in his own strength; he believed he could secure a spot based on his abilities.

”Abilities are not about strength; in an Eight-Star level Space Gate, merely protecting yourself is challenging.” Gao Hai shook his head and replied.

This statement caused many to frown slightly.

Although candid, it was indeed true.

Their strongest was only at Fifth Grade; some weren’t even at Sixth Grade.

In an Eight-Star level Space Gate, whether faced with Alien Races or Demon Beasts, their fate would be instant defeat.

”Abilities refer to special abilities that can assist Lin Feng’s team, such as certain unique Support abilities.” Gao Hai explained.

The atmosphere grew silent.

Support abilities?

Ordinary ones won’t do; it has to be unique Support abilities. Who has that?

”What about financial requirements?”

A fashionably dressed girl asked.

These unique abilities were out of the question; financial strength seemed the only option.

”One hundred million per opportunity.” Gao Hai stated.

Again, the atmosphere turned silent.

For most students, one hundred million was an astronomical figure.

And it was for just one opportunity, not repeatable.

However, considering the acquisition of Advanced Soul Skills, one hundred million wasn’t much.

A good Soul Skill starts at a billion.

A Divine Level Soul Skill begins in the tens of billions.

To acquire an Advanced Soul Skill, spending one hundred million, even several billions, is possible.

Some Advanced Demon Spirits are worth more than a hundred million.

Having the freedom to choose and unlimited absorption attempts makes it quite worthwhile.

Plus, the alien weapons and resources you pick up belong to you, so it may end up just costing some tens of millions, and with some luck, you might even profit!

Not only one hundred million, but also a willing few would even spend two or three hundred million!

”Too bad I’m broke; if I had money, I’d definitely go!”

”In my Demon Transformation state, my tentacles can massage with immense pleasure; I wonder if that counts as a special ability?”

The students discussed.

Nobody questioned whether the price was unreasonable, nor did they accuse Lin Feng’s team of greediness; they simply marveled at Lin Feng’s team’s money-making capabilities.

By accepting Space Gate blockade missions, the team could earn a sum, and recruiting spots was another way to make money; each blockage would reap at least hundreds of billions.

Comparing oneself to others was maddening.

While they strove for tens or hundreds of thousands from basic resources, Lin Feng’s team had already moved on to hundreds of billions.

Such thoughts made them feel a bit inferior.

”If interested, you can register at the Jianghu Martial Arts Club. Once the slots are filled, no more entries will be accepted.”

After saying that, Gao Hai and Yang Fan left.

The information had spread, completing their task.

Next, from Red Cloud University as the starting point, then to the Great Wall and Demon Star, finally spreading to universities nationwide.
