Chapter 163: Chapter 144: Battle for the Roster Spots

The Nightmare’s abnormal agitation left Lin Feng somewhat surprised and uneasy.

Although the Nightmare has been refined, unlike other Demon Spirits, it retains its complete consciousness, with independent thought and intelligence.

Moreover, due to the Sealing Evil Seal, the Nightmare has undergone a peculiar transformation and has been assimilated by Lin Feng’s blood.

Now, the Nightmare’s entire body is a bright red, looking even more sinister and bloody, even capable of devouring blood and absorbing Qi and Blood to grow stronger.

Whilst this grants Lin Feng greater stamina and recovery, at the same time, the Nightmare’s growth speed seems faster compared to when Ye Qiu refined it.

Before it was refined and sealed, whenever night fell into silence, the Nightmare would become very active, restlessly agitated, often leaving Lin Feng unable to sleep and suffering from insomnia the whole night.

Upon internal observation, the evil light emanating from those bloody pupils made even Lin Feng feel a bit creepy.

However, since being refined, the Nightmare seemed to realize it cannot devour Lin Feng temporarily and noticeably became much more obedient, usually falling into slumber and not easily waking up.

This is the first time it has shown such restless agitation.

Within this unease, does it seem to hint at a trace of special emotion?

Perhaps… desire?

“Desire, desire for what?”

Lin Feng secretly guessed in his heart.

However, it should be related to those three alien race youths.

As their figures departed, the Nightmare’s agitated state gradually calmed.

“Could the Nightmare be related to the alien race?”

Regarding this Evil Spirit, Lin Feng’s understanding is limited; aside from some innate abilities and side effects, everything else is unknown.

Even the attributes and race of the Nightmare, the Soul Skills it could absorb as it grows, are all unknown to him.

Even Ye Qiu’s diary from the past had no record of this.

Is it unable to refine Soul Skills?

Or was it not recorded?

Everything seems to be an unsolved mystery.

“Lin Feng, what a coincidence!”

While Lin Feng was deep in thought, a young girl appeared in front of everyone, holding a tray.

The girl wore a black robe, her jet-black long hair cascading freely down her back like a waterfall, slightly swaying as she moved her long legs, capturing the attention of all the boys.

Staring at the enchanting girl before him, the air seemed to heat up at that moment.

“Hello!”

Lin Feng looked up at the girl.

She was an acquaintance, Yun Lin, the one who refined the Ninth Grade Silver Nether Serpent, holder of the fourth seat in the throne challenge.

“Mind if I join you?”

Yun Lin asked with a smile, her gaze lingering on Lin Feng and Yun Kai.

Though she was pushed off the third seat in the throne challenge by Lin Feng and Yun Kai, Yun Lin wasn’t resentful.

Even Deng Chen and Ye Ming, who were qualified to fight for the First Throne, couldn’t make it to the top three seats, let alone her.

Lin Feng was the first to act against her, and in the end, it helped her in a way.

After all, apart from Lin Feng and his companions, her seat was the closest to the front.

“Sit wherever.”

Lin Feng smiled slightly, not rejecting her.

Yun Lin walked towards Gao Hai, who automatically moved to give her a spot.

Yun Lin sat beside Gao Hai, gently smiling at him and thanking him.

“No thanks necessary.”

Gao Hai replied politely, not daring to look at Yun Lin directly.

Though still young, Yun Lin was too alluring, her figure and looks both top-notch.

“Such a feast!”

Gazing at the dishes in front of her, a flash of surprise passed through Yun Lin’s eyes, but she didn’t mind much.

“Are you full, want more food? It’s on me.”

“No need, we’re almost full!” Lin Feng replied.

“Emperor Kai doesn’t seem to talk much!”

Yun Lin’s gaze rested on Yun Kai’s face, her expression somewhat unusual.

In the throne challenge, it was Yun Kai, like a Golden War God, with an unstoppable punch that took her off the third seat; that strong attack and intimidating aura left her fearful, without the will to resist.

“Mm!”

Yun Kai politely nodded, responded with a sound, and originally spoke little; he spoke even less in front of outsiders.

“Wood, two pieces of wood!”

Yun Lin murmured in her heart.

Other boys, no matter how calm they appeared or how well they disguised it, their eyes or actions would always show a hint of peculiarity, but only Lin Feng and Yun Kai were like pieces of wood, with no reaction at all.

Even their courtesy seemed somewhat perfunctory!

Seeing the two being so unrefined, after a few simple pleasantries, Yun Lin got straight to the point, “I want to become your teammate!”

Teammate?

Obviously, this teammate referred to the five-member Glory Team.

Lin Feng and his two companions were considered a top-level configuration. Everyone assumed that when they reached their senior year, they would participate in the National Collegiate Glory Tournament and had already practically secured three starting main positions in the Red Cloud Glory Team.

And as a team, the remaining two spots would inevitably have to be considered by Lin Feng and his two companions.

If one could become a squad member in their freshman year, it would clearly be beneficial for competing for these two spots.

Dong Yunan slightly raised her head and glanced at Yun Lin. The latter sensed Little Sister Dong’s gaze, smiled slightly, but received no response.

“What are you smiling about!”

Little Sister Dong lowered her head again, murmured a sentence in her heart, and did not express any opinion.

As a Therapist, Dong Yunan primarily played a support role, as long as she could replenish health in time, that was sufficient, so she did not have too many requirements for teammates.

However, it was evident that she didn’t want such a teammate, especially since this girl was much more beautiful than herself.

“Teammate? How about including me?”

At that moment, a young man suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The young man was dressed in a white robe, had a delicate appearance, a pale face without any blood color.

“Bai Ji!”

When the young man arrived, many people exclaimed.

Poison Beast Master Bai Ji, this name was enough to make many people turn pale at the sound.

The images of countless insects pouring out of Bai Ji’s body during the Throne Challenge were still vivid in people’s minds, making many girls shiver slightly, instantly losing their appetite, and even feeling nauseous, wanting to vomit.

“I think, compared to her, I am more suitable to be your teammate!”

Bai Ji said with a smile, confident in his tone, clearly not giving Yun Lin any face.

“With one support healer and two violent Berserkers, you’re lacking a magic control, which happens to be my specialty as a Poison Beast Master, excelling at control.”

Bai Ji clearly also had great interest in a spot on Lin Feng’s team.

“As a Seventh Throne holder, you have no right to say that to me!” Yun Lin’s expression changed slightly.

Bai Ji shook his head disdainfully, “Rankings don’t mean anything, I eliminated hundreds in the Throne Challenge; how many did you knock out?”

“Whether it’s a few or not, if you’re unconvinced, you can try!”

Although wary of Bai Ji, Yun Lin didn’t want to lose her momentum in front of Lin Feng and the others.

“Really?”

Bai Ji smiled slightly at Yun Lin, and simultaneously, with rustling sounds, black insects the size of fingernails slowly crawled out from his ears and flapped their wings, making a piercing buzzing sound.

This somewhat disgusting and creepy sight triggered shrill screams, mixed with some retching sounds.

“So gross!”

Yun Lin’s delicate face became serious, her originally dark eyes entwined with a silver glow, forming a triangular pupil, and a piece of silver rhomboid scale appeared at the center of her fair forehead. Her previously slim figure became more flexible, her willow-like waist swung with a hint of seductive charm, and her previously long legs had now transformed into a snake tail, covered with purple-black scales. The snake tail swaying slightly caused one’s mind to waver; the air was filled with an unsettling fluctuation.

“So lively, let me join too!”

As Bai Ji and Yun Lin locked horns, a young man appeared between them as if out of thin air.

“Bai Xiaoyun.”

The one who appeared was none other than the unlucky Bai Xiaoyun from the Throne Challenge, a talented member of the Bloodline Race who clearly had the qualification to compete for the top ten but was eliminated first.

“You, who don’t even have a seat, what are you jumping into the fray for!”

Yun Lin said unkindly.

“I also want to get a spot!”

Bai Xiaoyun, with a handsome face, wasn’t angry at Yun Lin’s sarcasm, “This has nothing to do with strength. I really don’t understand why you targeted me! Is it because I’m good-looking?”

Bai Xiaoyun’s interjection caused the confrontation between Yun Lin and Bai Ji to deadlock. Seeing this, Lin Feng stood up, shook his head at the three of them, and said, “Sorry, we currently have no plans to form a small team.”

“If not, it’s fine; just consider me a reserve member!”

Being rejected, Yun Lin seemed unsurprised and continued to ask, “I can offer a certain price!”

Lin Feng still shook his head.

In Lin Feng’s view, although the three were strong and outstanding among their peers, they did not qualify as their teammates.

They were geniuses, but Lin Feng and Yun Kai were demon fiends!
