Merging with Demon Spirits

You need to know that both the Martial King and the Spirit King are qualified to become Guardians.

There are only about 300 recorded Kings in the country.

In the Twelve Base Cities, there are no more than eighteen Guardians, generally just 12 Guardians.

Lin Feng’s team has killed more Kings than the Guardians in one Base City, how could that not be astonishing?

This achievement is far more glorious than sealing the Jade Seal Spatial Gate.

At this moment, these big figures still don’t know that it was Lin Feng who obtained the Key and closed the Jade Seal Spatial Gate!

If calculated this way, the Kings who died at the hands of Lin Feng’s team exceeded a hundred.

That’s nearly a third of all the Kings in Hua Country!

This achievement, let alone a King, even if it were any Emperor, could not compare.

In terms of achievements, there are few who can match them across the country!

This is also why the three of Hong Tao need to keep it a secret.

The achievement is too glorious, yet the strength is too weak, not even a King, so easy to fall.

Even though Lin Feng now has Bu Zheng’s protection, it can’t guarantee his safety.

"Why are there so many people from the clubs coming here?"

Lin Feng asked Ye Xing.

During this period, due to the fusion of the Land of Chaos, the Glory Alliance is in turmoil, and all events are stopped.

Some clubs even closed down.

The Glory Stars, who once drove fans crazy, lost their former glory, with no events or endorsements.

Glory Players are very strong, all recognized as geniuses, but according to statistics, this time only seven Glory Professional Players entered the Land of Chaos!

This number is very ironic.

Ironic to the extreme.

It’s known that the Red Cloud Team’s five main players, all entered the Land of Chaos.

The Glory Professional Alliance has over a hundred teams and thousands of professional players, but volunteers, only exceeded the Red Cloud Team by two!

And Red Cloud University had fourteen volunteers this time.

More than twice the number of professional players.

Students, all under 22 years old!

Some are just twenty, like Lin Feng and Yun Kai.

Even some volunteers from the Top Ten Elite Joint Schools outnumbered the professional players.

As glorious and admired as professional players once were, they are now just as embarrassed and awkward.

There’s a trend of being like street rats, everyone shouting to hit them.

The internet is full of curses.

Professional players, now synonymous with "actors," because in netizens’ eyes, they only know how to perform and do nothing else.

The Glory Alliance is facing an unprecedented crisis.

These days, professional players and clubs have been low-key, avoiding public appearances as much as possible.

But today, with so many big figures and photographers present, they’re unusually high-profile.

The high-levels of the top ten clubs have attended, along with many S-level clubs.

"Damn it, how dare they show up!"

Yu Qiao mocked.

He obviously looked down on these professional players.

He had planned to join the Professional Alliance to get resources, but now it seems the alliance might be doomed.

"We don’t know either, didn’t receive any news!"

Facing Lin Feng’s confusion, Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing were equally puzzled.

They also hadn’t received any news.

What surprised both of them more was that the club executives noticed them, some nodding slightly, others completely ignoring them.

"What’s going on?"

Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.

As Glory All-Stars and team captains, cash cows for the club, even if they broke through to Grandmaster and chose to retire, they shouldn’t be ignored like this?

Many retired professional players can still bring commercial value to a club.

Considering their performance and reputation in the Land of Chaos, how could it be like this?

"Haha, you got ignored!"

Yu Qiao gloated.

Yun Tianqi rolled his eyes and ignored Yu Qiao’s teasing, since choosing retirement, he and Ye Xing naturally wouldn’t care about the club’s attitude.

But the stark contrast before and after left them a bit uncomfortable.

"Looks like there’s a big move coming!"

Ye Xing said, although he didn’t know what was happening, he could confirm that the Glory Alliance was about to make a major move.

"It’s nothing to do with us anyway!"

Yun Tianqi said indifferently.

He and Ye Xing have already broken through to the Lingyun Realm and became nine-star Demon Spirit Masters, needing to prepare for the King breakthrough.

Even if there were no level restrictions in the alliance, they couldn’t possibly return to the Glory Alliance!

"Grandpa, may I go over for a bit?"

Not far away, upon seeing Zhan Tianyu walking towards Lin Feng’s group, Yang Ningbing asked Yang Qingtian beside her.

"Mm."

Yang Qingtian nodded slightly.

Although Lin Feng wouldn’t return to the family, he wouldn’t oppose Yang Ningbing joining Lin Feng’s team.

This is a team of top-notch talents, and Yang Ningbing joining them has quickly improved her strength and could benefit in the future.

Seeing her grandfather’s approval, Yang Ningbing quickly walked towards Lin Feng’s group.

"Lin Feng!"

The Yang Race came with five people this time.

Because of Yang Ningbing, Yang Qingtian and Yang Qing knew some insider information, and compared to others, their gazes towards Lin Feng were much more complex.

Yang Qing quickly averted his gaze.

Because just seeing Lin Feng, all his pride disappeared.

This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

Whenever he thought of Lin Feng’s taunts, he felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation.

"What a pity!"

At this moment, Yang Qingtian still felt a great pity in his heart.

Although he wasn’t sure if Lin Feng closed the Space Gate, and Yang Ningbing didn’t answer his doubts, he was convinced that this had something to do with Lin Feng.

Even if Lin Feng didn’t close it, it was related to him.

At this time, the entire country, even the world, is talking about who closed the Space Gate?

Lin Feng is no longer just an unbeatable prodigy at the same tier!

He’s a hero with glorious achievements!

If his surname were Yang, it would bring the Yang Race’s reputation to its peak.

There could be many benefits.

But unfortunately, this child does not wish to return to the family.

"Not returning is fine, he’s just a genius, after all, do you have to?"

Seeing Yang Qingtian sigh while looking at Lin Feng, an elder beside him said.

To his younger brother Yang Minglin’s words, Yang Qingtian just shook his head without responding.

"Geniuses aren’t as valuable now." Yang Minglin looked at Lin Feng, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.

In his view, Lin Feng was somewhat overreaching.

Though talented, he didn’t know his limits.

If Lin Feng could return to the family, it would naturally be the best, bringing great benefits to the Yang Race.

If not, although unfortunate, it’s not a big deal!

Previously, geniuses were indeed valuable!

They were a guarantee of a family’s strength and prosperity!

And a genius invincible at the same tier might even get a Key, taking the family to a new level.

But now, with the Divine Martial Continent about to invade, a conservative estimate is that it’ll happen in just ten years.

Developing an other-dimensional spatial gate requires a lot of time and resources; it’s a high-return but long-term investment.

Ten years, too short a time, unable to gather much Essence of Life.

So, for the family, the Key isn’t that precious anymore.

The genius invincible at the same tier is no longer that important.

Geniuses need time to grow; a genius who hasn’t grown is nothing.

To many, this generation of prodigies, like Lin Feng, is very unfortunate.

Clearly talented to a monstrous degree, potentially becoming an Emperor, but without the time to grow.

"Perhaps so!"

Upon hearing his younger brother say this, Yang Qingtian didn’t refute it, but inside, he felt a bit better, not as pained.
