Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 607: Chapter 438: A Lifetime of Bragging Rights

Survival of the fittest, strength is respected, whether in real society or at Red Cloud University, it’s always the same.

After Rong Wei and the seven ministers were defeated by Lin Feng and his team, the student council underwent a thorough reshuffle. Out of hundreds of members, only a few remained.

Those kicked out were numerous, with plenty complaining, and even some went to the school leadership seeking so-called justice.

But their efforts were in vain; the school leadership ignored them, and these individuals couldn’t make any waves.

With Lin Feng’s team’s current reputation and battle records, as long as they don’t betray the Human Race, no one voices opposition regardless of their actions.

As the flagship team of Red Cloud, in the past two months, Lin Feng’s team has made Red Cloud University’s name renowned worldwide, and now it is on the verge of becoming the top among the Three Heroic Academies.

At Red Cloud University, as long as Lin Feng’s team doesn’t mess up, the school leadership will only support them, not oppose.

Battles involving Lin Feng and the Red Cloud University, and the student council overhaul also made it to the news, albeit with low heat.

After all, it’s just a student organization, not like Lin Feng became Red Cloud’s principal.

Compared to Lin Feng’s team’s previous records, this doesn’t amount to much, and few people discuss it.

Isn’t it natural for them to win?

If they had lost, that would be big news.

The following days were quite peaceful. Even though Lin Feng’s team’s popularity remained high, there were no new stories.

Lin Feng’s team, while accepting commissions, continued to count the number of registrations.

In the past two days, they accepted five more commissions, but the number of registrations compared to the previous three days had reduced significantly, barely thirty people per day. However, people from other base cities showed interest in registering but were rejected.

After all, it concerns a Seven-Star Space Gate, so the students’ strengths were generally at Four and Five Grades. Entering the Space Gate requires protection, and too many people make it hard to manage.

Student council quarter.

The originally collapsed three-story building had been rebuilt in just two days, now taller by two floors, turning into a five-story building.

Inside the meeting room on the fifth floor.

Lin Feng sat at the head of the conference table, browsing through the materials in his hand.

These materials were about the student council’s businesses in the commercial district, as well as the main supply and sales channels.

They also included the family backgrounds, Martial Arts strengths, the Demon Spirits refined, and the Soul Skills owned by all students at Red Cloud.

Becoming student council president was Lin Feng’s set goal even before entering Red Cloud.

Red Cloud University has over thirty thousand students, nine out of ten being Demon Spirit Masters, a formidable force.

Externally, such a vast Demon Spirit Master force is unheard of, though the students’ strengths aren’t compelling, they have significant development potential.

In Lin Feng’s view, the previous student council members were idiots. Neither Rong Wei nor Yang Ningbing, and even the previous council president understood the true valuable asset student council possessed.

It definitely wasn’t the commercial district enterprises.

Even the council president only had annual earnings of a few billion.

With such income, one couldn’t even purchase a decent Diamond Soul Skill.

The student council is Red Cloud University’s only recognized student organization, wielding significant power, even capable of participating in school decision-making and future development construction.

Of course, the most crucial aspect is the ability to manage and coordinate all students!

And this is the greatest wealth!

Although this coordination and management lack binding force and students can ignore it, and they generally do.

Among the students, the council consistently had a poor reputation as they only find varied ways to take students’ money without benefitting them.

With a bad reputation, offering no benefits, naturally, it holds no authority, can’t rally people together, thus failing to wield the most crucial power.

But now, with Lin Feng’s team in charge, their popularity and strength allow for many plans to unfold, benefiting both sides.

Of course, Lin Feng’s team stands to gain the most.

”You’ve been looking at it for two days; it’s not like watching a movie, need to be so meticulous? When to get started?”

A lazy voice rang out.

Lin Feng looked up, recognized the voice as Yu Qiao’s; this fellow sat sloppily, legs crossed swinging up and down.

Seeing Lin Feng look up, he rubbed his nose and raised his eyebrows.

”If you’re impatient, you can opt-out, as there are too many people already.”

Lin Feng replied indifferently, not caring further.

”Take your time, sir.”

Yu Qiao quickly shut up. There’s no way he would quit.

This is a huge deal, potentially worth billions, even two hundred billion; he’s counting on this income to buy two top-level Diamond Soul Skills.

Currently, he’s a Seven-Star Demon Spirit Master, having absorbed only six Soul Skills, and he can still take in two more.

Already possessing a Divine Level Soul Skill, Yu Qiao’s vision has elevated; to put it simply, he has inflated. The Diamond Soul Skills he once dreamt of now seem beneath him.

While Divine Level Soul Skills are desired, they’re unrealistic!

Recently, with skyrocketing prices, a Demon Spirit with a Divine Level Soul Skill easily starts at billions. Thanks to sealing the Jade Seal Spatial Gate and merging the Land of Chaos, as a volunteer reward, and with luck, he obtained a Six-winged Illusion Python.

Of course, without Lin Feng’s assistance, he couldn’t have succeeded in absorbing the Divine Level Soul Skill.

The recent days, he’s already contemplated his seventh and eighth Soul Skills, ready to purchase once the money is in place.

It wasn’t just Yu Qiao; the rest of the alliance members were similar, all reevaluating the cultivation path for their Demon Spirits.

A quality Soul Skill can influence, even alter, a Demon Spirit Master’s growth trajectory.

Lin Feng’s presence allows them to select their desired Soul Skills as much as possible.

These final few Soul Skills are crucial, incredibly important, affecting their participation in the King Becoming Plan.

Their success in the King Becoming Plan will determine if they achieve King status.

”Got a lippy mouth there.”

Yun Tianqi chuckled.

Yu Qiao has become excessively arrogant recently, obviously disregarding both him and Ye Xing.

Currently, only Bu Zheng and Lin Feng can keep him in check.

Yu Qiao rolled his eyes at Yun Tianqi.

”Starting today, all student council assets and revenue are public; all earnings will go to the students, Gao Hai and Yang Fan, you’re tasked with devising the specific plan!”

Lin Feng declared, looking at the materials.

”All of it?” Gao Hai exclaimed in surprise.

That’s an annual revenue of two or three billion!

It would be a waste not to take it!

In the past, the student council accepted it, Lin Feng accepted it, and no one would say anything.

”To us, it’s not much money, but to some poor students without any support, it’s very important.”

Lin Feng said.

”Hmm.”

Gao Hai nodded. Usually, no one would oppose Lin Feng’s decisions.

Yun Kai and the others wouldn’t, Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing didn’t care, and even Yu Qiao was very quiet at the moment.

If it were in the past, as the vice minister, he would have jumped up and started ranting, perhaps even resorting to physical action.

The student council’s income was his biggest source of income; losing it would be unbearable.

But now, on the verge of becoming wealthy, he really didn’t care about this small amount, especially since it was Lin Feng’s decision. He couldn’t afford to offend Lin Feng before he got his hands on the money.

”This way, the student council will have no source of income in the future, and no one will want to join anymore.”

Yang Fan sighed.

Lin Feng’s move was unprecedented, and it broke the rules.

Once a precedent is set, habits become nature, and it becomes a matter of course.

In the future, the student council will have no income because the students won’t allow it.

It’s not just Red Cloud; this decision will also affect other universities’ student councils.

If Red Cloud does this, the other universities will definitely follow suit; if they don’t, their students will have opinions. You could say Lin Feng’s decision will cut off many people’s income.

Lin Feng doesn’t care about this money, but others might, even those from big families; tens of millions or even billions are not small sums.

No one would refuse money that comes for free.

”Knock, knock...” Just as everyone was discussing, there was a knock on the door.

”Come in.”

Lin Feng put down the information in his hand. When the door opened, his eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he stood up.

Outside was a middle-aged man in a military uniform, also an acquaintance, the Guardian of Shangjing, Wang Jian. They had interacted twice before.

”Long time no see!”

Wang Jian walked in, smiling as he spoke.

His gaze swept over Lin Feng’s team, a look of amazement in his eyes.

Who would have thought that the brilliant achievements were accomplished by these kids who weren’t even at Ninth Grade?

At that time, he represented the military to persuade Lin Feng and others to become volunteers and enter the Land of Chaos, but even he didn’t expect Lin Feng’s group to perform so brilliantly.

This time closing the Land of Chaos, Lin Feng’s team had a significant contribution.

For confidentiality and to protect Lin Feng’s safety, apart from the Three Emperors, almost no one knew that Lin Feng obtained the key to close the Land of Chaos.

Wang Jian didn’t know that either; if he did, he would only be more shocked.

”The leader is here.”

The moment Yu Qiao noticed Wang Jian’s arrival, his expression changed. He quickly put his feet down and, in a flash, appeared in front of Wang Jian with a smiling face. He had single eyelids, making his eyes look small; now they were almost disappearing from his grin.

This is the God of Wealth!

At that time, it was Wang Jian who brought his Six-winged Illusion Python.

Now that he’s here again, could it be good news?

Just as he was worried about not having a soul skill, this isn’t exactly what he needed.

This time, he didn’t need a divine-level soul skill; a top-level diamond soul skill would do. He’s not picky.

”Hello, Yu Qiao.”

Wang Jian was slightly stunned and smilingly said. He was somewhat surprised why Yu Qiao was so happy to see him, his eyes seemingly glowing.

Was he that popular?

”What brings you here?” Lin Feng came to Wang Jian’s side.

”I’ve come to award you medals!”

Wang Jian casually closed the door, and his expression turned serious.

He reached into his pocket and took out a long rectangular wooden box. Opening it, inside were twelve gold medals.

The medals were in the shape of a pair of arms, the arms posed in a wing-spread stance.

”Guardian Medal!”

Little Sister Dong exclaimed, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

The Guardian Prologue, this is a special-grade medal, only awarded for outstanding contributions to the country.

Each recipient of the Guardian Medal is a hero, a figure worthy of textbooks. Since the revival of Spiritual Qi, fewer than two hundred have been awarded in total.

Little Sister Dong never imagined she would receive such a medal one day.

She had never even fantasized about it.

”Could it be that I might appear in textbooks too?”

Thinking of this, Little Sister Dong felt a surge of blood boiling. Her face flushed slightly. What could be more glorious for her family than this?

With the Guardian Medal, from now on who would dare call her Little Sister Dong, they would have to call her Hero Dong!

Not just Little Sister Dong, Yun Kai and the others were equally excited.

Lin Feng was no exception.

This medal was the best recognition for their achievements, and it was also a protective talisman. Any force wanting to target them would have to think twice about the consequences.

”Congratulations, I’m envious of you too, because even I am not qualified to receive the Guardian Medal!”

Wang Jian also said with a hint of envy, as he stepped forward to pin the medal on Little Sister Dong, then gave her a military salute.

Little Sister Dong quickly nodded, hurriedly returning a salute, her mouth slightly open as if wanting to speak, but she didn’t know what to say.

A few minutes later, everyone’s chest had a medal pinned on it.

”This can be bragged about for a lifetime!”

Yu Qiao stroked the medal with his right hand, smiling as he spoke.

Wang Jian nodded in agreement.

”Yeah, you can brag about it for a lifetime.”
