Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 820: Chapter 622: Anxious Waiting

As the Avengers Alliance successfully defended the ring, the third phase of the plan was officially declared over.

Out of a total of fifty-five teams, only fourteen managed to stay, less than one third.

If not for the Avengers Alliance stirring things up, that number would be even lower.

Although the third phase had already come to an end, the students and mentors did not leave immediately.

”That was just too insidious!”

Alice looked down at Lin Feng from above, unable to stop herself from sighing.

As a mentor in the King Becoming Plan, a Middle Rank Spirit King powerhouse, and a former Glory Professional Player, she had seen a lot, but she had never seen such an extremely insidious set of Soul Skills.

Even as Lin Feng’s mentor, she still felt a trace of fear.

If nothing unexpected happened, it wouldn’t be long before Lin Feng became a King; by then, even she might not be his match.

When the strength gap isn’t that big, who wouldn’t be at least a little afraid of facing an enemy like this?

Compared to Yun Kai, with his freakish defense and ability to fight both at range and close up, Lin Feng’s combat Body Series was even more complete.

If she had to pick one of Yun Kai and Lin Feng as an opponent, Alice would choose Yun Kai without hesitation.

Even though Yun Kai had already become a King.

Fighting Lin Feng required extreme caution; one careless move, and you might get swapped by the [Stand] Soul Skill and be transferred straight into the blast zone.

With the [Stand] Soul Skill, as long as Lin Feng had released Bubbles in advance containing Clone Soul Skills, he could shuttle through the void.

Even if your strength surpassed his, it would still be hard to land a hit on him.

Lin Feng cultivated the Divine Level Cultivation Technique Fish Dragon Transformation; he could undergo Dragon Transformation, his body was incredibly tough, and he also possessed the Divine Level Soul Skill [Illusion]. His defense far surpassed others of the Same Tier, which led to his preference for self-destructive explosions where he traded injury for injury.

In most cases, the opponent’s end was usually even more miserable.

So close combat with Lin Feng was extremely dangerous as well.

If you attacked from long range, during the explosions his array of sinister Soul Skills left people with no way to guard against them.

A fight with Lin Feng could be summed up in one sentence: you might be able to beat him, but you can’t outrun him; you can outrun him, but your defense isn’t as strong as his; your defense might be stronger than his, but you’re not as insidious as he is.

Who wouldn’t dread an enemy like that?

”A truly perfect combat Body Series.”

Zuo Ziyu sighed.

There was a reason Lin Feng could become captain of the Avengers Alliance.

Before he had even become a King, he was already capable of defeating Spirit Kings.

Once he became a King, even ordinary Middle Rank Spirit Kings might not be his match.

”Mm.”

Beside him, Tang Rong nodded and chuckled lightly: ”This is the first time I’ve seen such an insidious combat Body Series. This brat really is a talent.”

Hequan Chebai swept his gaze over Lin Feng, a strange light flickering in his eyes: ”Lin Feng used Rainbow Poison, and also a kind of Illusion Technique-type Soul Skill. This brat really did refine two Demon Spirits.”

According to the data, the Soul Skills Lin Feng was known to have numbered nine: Mirror Image, Phantom, Lock, Heart Contract, Fat Hedgehog, Resentful Spirit, Illusion, Stand, Demon Flame.

Add in these two additional Soul Skills, and that made eleven.

And these were just the Soul Skills he’d shown; there might be more hidden ones.

The rumor that Lin Feng had refined two Demon Spirits had now been confirmed.

”There’s actually nothing that surprising about this.”

Reimer said calmly.

She had long suspected as much.

How could a One Tier Dragon Fish possibly absorb such High Level Soul Skills, including two Divine Level Soul Skills?

This Soul Skill lineup was far more luxurious than hers.

As for Lin Feng refining two Demon Spirits, although the mentors were curious, they didn’t think too much of it.

Before becoming a King, people who refined two Demon Spirits were rare, but not unheard of.

Given the students’ talent, even refining three Demon Spirits was possible; it was just unnecessary and not worth the trade-off.

With a combat Body Series like Lin Feng’s, it really did require two Demon Spirits to support it.

”This time, the most conservative estimate is that the Avengers Alliance will get at least 20 flags, that’s four thousand points. Add in the reward for first place, and if they don’t exchange for supplies, those points alone are enough for five people to become Kings! Add to that the Origin Power contributed by the teams that sought their protection for guarding flags, and after the King Becoming Plan ends, the Avengers Alliance might end up with ten Kings!”

Gustav spoke, his voice tinged with some emotion.

The rest of the mentors also looked a bit astonished.

For a major country, a King was the Guardian of a city.

For some small countries, a King was the Guardian of an entire nation.

In any organization, a King was the main pillar.

Ten, or even more than ten Kings, and a group of Kings who had refined Demon Spirits from the Earth Chart, all with extraordinary talent—against Emperors, they would still have nothing to fear.

After the King Becoming Plan, no force would dare take the Avengers Alliance lightly.

Once you became a King, you already had the qualification to enter the core battlefield.

Kings this young had limitless futures.

Listening to the mentors’ discussion, Alfonso frowned slightly.

He didn’t care about a single King.

But if he had to face a small team formed of more than ten Kings, even he would have to treat them with caution.

Logically speaking, Lin Feng neither had the guts nor the need to oppose him.

But for some reason, he still had a bad premonition in his heart.

....

Compared to the shock of the various mentors and students, Yu Qiao appeared very calm.

When everyone was left dumbfounded and rattled by Lin Feng’s Combined Soul Skills, who would have thought this guy was still holding back?

These Soul Skill combos were only part of it.

This was nothing yet.

The three Soul Skills [Six Arms][Demon Transformation][Aging]hadn’t even been used.

There was also Fish Dragon Transformation and Blood Cry, and the giant form created by several Soul Skill combinations!

And that Nightmare with its own intelligence.

Lin Feng had too many trump cards; pulling out any one of them was a game-ending bomb.

Enough to shock the entire world.

Enough to make students from all academies, and even the mentors, start doubting life!

If not for the need to hide his strength, Lin Feng alone could have gone on a ten-man streak; they wouldn’t have needed to step in at all.

”I’ve said for a long time that Lin Feng is even more devious than me! His scheming runs deep. My fighting style is just on the shady side—that’s the Assassin class’s trait. Lin Feng, though, is insidious from the inside out. You guys call me an old schemer, but that nickname fits Lin Feng better.”

Yu Qiao muttered under his breath.

No one refuted him this time; quite a few people agreed.

When it came to being insidious and putting on a show, Yu Qiao really wasn’t a match; or rather, he couldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath as Lin Feng.

They weren’t on the same level at all.

....

The third phase of the plan was over, and the production team started working overtime.

The whole world was waiting for their show; they couldn’t afford to rest.

Nor could they rest.

The program had to be aired as soon as possible; if the news leaked first, ratings and anticipation would both take a big hit.

The third phase was far more exciting than the mentor battle in the second phase.

If not for the Avengers Alliance meddling, this Capture the Flag Tournament would have been even more intense.

In the third phase, many students emerged who were astonishing to watch.

Even so, in the three-hour-long episode, the Avengers Alliance still accounted for one third of the screen time.

p.m. late at night.

Jiang City, Shore District.

On normal days, at this hour, ninety-nine percent of people would already be asleep.

Nine o’clock was also the mandatory lights-out time for the Shore District.

But tonight, the Shore District was bustling, brilliantly lit.

In every household, regardless of age or gender, whether they had school or work the next day or not, everyone sat in front of the television, anxiously waiting for the program to begin.

For people in other cities, this might just be a special episode.

But for the residents of the Shore District, it was a kind of spiritual comfort, a kind of longing for a better life.

Because Lin Feng was a child who had come out of the Shore District.

A child they had watched grow up.

Here, in Jiang City, he had once been the undisputed Son of the City.
