Chapter 556 - 399: Still Proud?
Among the crowd of half a million spectators, more than half cheered for Lin Feng’s team.
This was due to their courage and performance, yet the cheers were laced with despair and sorrow.
The key battle had failed!
Everything was over!
The Land of Chaos was merging, the war was imminent, and Shangjing would soon become a dangerous area, constantly facing the threat of invasion from the Divine Martial Continent.
At this moment, people were very pessimistic about the future, feeling hopeless, some even felt the urge to commit suicide.
In their view, rather than witnessing the end of the world, it was better to end their own lives!
No one expected the Space Gate to stop expanding and to rapidly shrink, this change instantly attracted everyone’s attention, and there was an uproar among the people.
"What’s happening? Why is the Space Gate shrinking?"
"Wasn’t the key snatched by Abnormal People? What’s going on here!"
"Wow, what a surprise!"
"I told you the news was fake! You didn’t believe me."
People were excited and discussing fervently, besides Lin Feng’s team and the three people of Hong Tao, no one else knew what had happened.
However, it was clear that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better.
In the midst of the astonished voices, within just a minute, the Space Gate had disappeared.
The people were looking at each other, momentarily not knowing how to react, or rather, not daring to believe what they were seeing.
"Did the Space Gate close?"
Someone asked with a puzzled face, their voice trembling slightly.
Compared to ordinary people, Yang Qing and others were even more shocked.
They could be sure, the Space Gate was closed, not a crack left.
This meant that the Land of Chaos had disappeared, and those still in the Land of Chaos would be swallowed by the chaotic space currents.
"What’s going on?"
Yang Qing asked, looking at his teammates, but apart from being pleasantly surprised, they were also baffled, clearly unaware of what happened.
"How would I know, I was just about to ask you, I came out before you, didn’t you come out last?" said a teammate.
Yang Qing frowned slightly, looking at the three of Hong Tao, they were not surprised at all by the closing of the Space Gate, remaining very calm.
It was evident they knew the reason.
Could this be their plan?
For some reason, Yang Qing suddenly looked towards Lin Feng’s team.
Compared to the other teams, Lin Feng’s team, although also pleasantly surprised, was much calmer, not showing too much of a shocked expression.
"Is it you?"
Yang Qing looked towards Lin Feng, thinking silently.
After Sha Mi appeared, Lin Feng disappeared, he even specifically searched for a while, but couldn’t find any trace of Lin Feng.
Now it seemed, the closing of the Space Gate was very likely related to Lin Feng.
"Is it a Stand Soul Skill?"
Yang Qing speculated.
The Stand Soul Skill has a Divine Skill-like effect, as long as you lock onto the person who refined the Flower Erosion Demon Spirit beforehand, Lin Feng can silently enter the Barrier.
And Lin Feng, indeed has a Lock Soul Skill!
But even if he entered the Barrier, Lin Feng would have to face four Kings at once, and slay them all, which seemed impossible!
In a suppressed strength situation, even an Emperor would be slaughtered, unable to resist!
Of course, even if it had nothing to do with Lin Feng, the achievements of Lin Feng and his team were still very impressive.
Not just the achievements, Lin Feng also saved his life!
Thinking of this, Yang Qing’s originally indifferent eyes became somewhat complex.
In the Land of Chaos, if it weren’t for Lin Feng, he would have already died.
Although he didn’t want to admit it, the fact is, this child he had given up on became his savior.
It feels ironic just thinking about it!
Yang Qing now felt somewhat ashamed.
He looked at Lin Feng, made a decision in his heart, and slowly walked towards him.
"The key battle succeeded, and the Land of Chaos closed!"
As Hong Tao’s voice sounded, people were slightly stunned, then suddenly cheers and shouts echoed throughout the city, spreading from Shangjing to the entire nation.
People flocked to the streets, cheering, jumping, and shouting to vent their inner excitement and thrill.
After announcing the news, Hong Tao casually glanced at Lin Feng, without saying anything else, then turned and left.
Chen Tiangeng and the others exchanged glances, immediately following after.
As the hero, Lin Feng should enjoy the highest honor and praise, but this matter had too much impact, exposing it wouldn’t be beneficial to him.
Of course, the rewards he deserved wouldn’t be less.
Though Hong Tao still had many doubts needing Lin Feng’s answers, the Spirit Medium had disappeared without a trace, yet now was clearly not the time to inquire.
"Brother Feng!"
Little Sister Dong came to Lin Feng’s side, unable to hide the excitement on her face.
"This time we hit it big!"
Yu Qiao was equally excited.
This time in the key battle, not only did he acquire the much-desired Divine Skill Soul Skill [Illusion].
Before entering the Land of Chaos, he was only Sixth Grade Middle Stage, but now, he had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, and it was Eighth Grade High Rank, his Lifebound Demon Spirit had also grown to the Eighth Tier, with an all-round improvement in physical fitness, his strength had increased several levels.
After a few days of rest and adjusting to the best condition, he could absorb [Illusion].
"He Jun, you did well, I’m impressed."
Yu Qiao patted He Jun on the shoulder and praised.
Initially, when He Jun joined, he was a bit dismissive of him, but now his attitude was much more friendly.
If it weren’t for He Jun, in this Land of Chaos, they wouldn’t have been able to remain at peak condition all the time, the speed of hunting the Abnormal Squad wouldn’t have been so fast, and their strength wouldn’t have improved.
Although they didn’t know what Demon Spirit He Jun refined, his talent skills were indeed monstrous!
Feels more monstrous than Lin Feng’s abilities.
Of course, Lin Feng’s power is indeed monstrous!
Simultaneously slaughtering four Kings is terrifying, and the reason they could share the power fed back after the sacrifice was also because Lin Feng refined the Little Green Monster!
Facing Yu Qiao’s compliments, He Jun merely smiled, saying nothing more.
This time, her strength had also increased dramatically.
Originally her martial arts prowess was only at the Second Grade, but now she has reached the Sixth Grade Divine Fist Realm, and as for her Lifebound Demon Spirit, it has evolved even more, if sensed correctly, it is now at the Sixth Tier.
In one day, from the First Tier to the Sixth Tier, this speed is terrifyingly fast.
She had never heard of any Demon Spirit advancing at such a rapid pace!
However, despite her attempts, she still couldn’t absorb the Soul Skill, which left her a bit disappointed.
"Keep a low profile, don’t be flashy!"
Lin Feng glanced at Yu Qiao and reminded him.
Enhancing strength is a good thing, but being discovered with such an abnormal speed of improvement could turn it into a bad thing!
Not only would it attract attention, but it might also expose He Jun’s abilities.
Therefore, keeping a low profile is the way to go.
When the Avengers Alliance, the majority of the members, break through to the King Level, that’s when they should show their true strength.
By then, even an Emperor would be of no concern!
With their current strength, breaking through to the King Realm is not unreachable, it’s just a few years away.
This time, in the Avengers Alliance, besides He Jun, whose original strength was too weak and now is only at the Sixth Grade Realm, everyone else has reached the Eighth Grade Realm.
And Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi have directly broken through to the Lingyun Realm, with Ye Xing’s Lifebound Demon Spirit directly reaching the Ninth Tier, now a Nine-Star Demon Spirit Master.
Yun Tianqi originally refined the Sixth Tier Flying Mantis, later evolved with the help of the Thunder Club into the Eighth Tier Ghost Shadow Mantis.
Originally relying on the power of feedback, Yun Tianqi’s Lifebound Demon Spirit could also break through to the Ninth Tier, but due to grade limitations, it couldn’t advance.
So, Yun Tianqi remains an Eight-Star Demon Spirit Master.
However, with his strength, even a typical Martial King might not be his match.
As for Bu Zheng, he still hasn’t broken through to the King Realm, but the power of feedback has greatly improved his physical condition.
At this time, the Avengers Alliance, after this key battle for the key, has advanced several levels overall in strength.
Ordinary Kings, if they encountered them, wouldn’t escape the fate of being killed.
Now the Avengers Alliance is already able to stand against Kings.
Due to the sacrifice, in just one day, they shortened at least five years of cultivation time.
And possibly much more than that.
Of course, this kind of opportunity comes only once.
The Land of Chaos being closed, the alien race suffered a huge loss, shouldn’t see another fused Space Gate.
Nor would another King allow themselves to be slaughtered by them!
This journey to the Land of Chaos, they killed hundreds of alien geniuses, as well as twenty Kings.
Twenty Kings, this seems like a simple number, but if spread out, it would be enough to shock the world.
Never mind twenty Kings.
Even ten Kings, if an Emperor encountered them, could only flee. Yet due to being overpowered, they were easily slaughtered.
Such an opportunity won’t happen again.
"I didn’t say anything!"
Warned by Lin Feng, Yu Qiao whispered.
In the Avengers Alliance, the ones who can control him are Bu Zheng and Lin Feng.
This time Lin Feng’s slaughtering of four Kings left Yu Qiao shocked and consequently more subdued than before.
This time, Lin Feng’s role as captain is truly affirmed.
Even Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi had no objections and acknowledged it.
"Keep a low profile, go back and cultivate well."
Lin Feng advised, without further elaboration.
The Space Gate has already closed, and as for how many Abnormal People died in the end, how many Emperor Level Demon Beasts were killed, Lin Feng no longer concerned himself.
He wouldn’t know in the short term anyways.
Right now, he only wants to reunite with his family.
Despite the continuous battles, although he wasn’t injured, although his body is still excited, his mental state is very tense and fatigued.
"Let’s go!"
Just as Lin Feng waved to say goodbye to everyone, preparing to leave, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared before him.
His steps halted, looking at the newcomer, Lin Feng’s eyes showed a bit of surprise, but he stood quietly without saying a word.
"Uncle Thirteen!"
Seeing Yang Qing’s arrival, Yang Ningbing hurried to greet, her gaze wavering between Lin Feng and Yang Qing.
The arrival of Yang Qing didn’t surprise her much, because Lin Feng had saved Yang Qing before. Yang Qing coming to express gratitude seemed normal.
For the proud Yang Qing, this is not easy.
In Yang Ningbing’s view, this is a good thing, the best opportunity for the two to reconcile their relationship.
Yun Kai and others also looked at this scene with complex expressions.
Besides He Jun and Chen Tianming, everyone else knew about the relationship between Yang Qing and Lin Feng.
Knowing this relationship, they understood how difficult Lin Feng’s journey has been.
Without resources, without family support, for him to grow to this point is nothing short of a miracle.
They also know how strong Lin Feng really is, and how brilliant his future will be.
Not needing too long, not even a decade, the Yang Race wouldn’t have the capital to be proud in front of Lin Feng.
The arrival of Yang Qing attracted quite a bit of attention.
Some seemed to have heard previous rumors, hence their eyes were filled with curiosity to see if they were true.
Some knew Lin Feng had saved Yang Qing, thus were not surprised.
Instead, some were envious.
The Yang Race is one of the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, Yang Qing as a flagship figure of the clan, saving his life brought countless benefits.
In the future in Shangjing, the Yang Race would likely be Lin Feng’s backing.
Others who wanted to provoke him would need to think twice!
Facing Yang Ningbing’s greeting, Yang Qing merely nodded, then looked at Lin Feng with a somewhat complex gaze and said, "Thank you."
Thank you!
This is the first time in 15 years that this man has said these words to him.
Lin Feng had imagined many times, that one day, he would make Yang Qing regret, make the Yang Race regret, this was the goal he strived for day and night as a child.
He also thought about what to say when they meet, but he didn’t expect it to be these two words.
Lin Feng looked at Yang Qing, a smile appeared on his face, seeming to carry a hint of reflection and joy, just when everyone thought Lin Feng was about to let go of the past, the next words plunged the atmosphere into an eerie silence.
"Still proud?" Lin Feng asked.
