Chapter 211: Chapter 171: The Storm Has Arrived

Returning to Villa No. 1, after eating dinner, Lin Feng went straight to the third floor. Watching his back, both Yun Kai and Dong Yunan were a bit worried.

“What’s wrong?” Yang Fan asked in confusion.

He always felt that ever since they came back from ’Honglian’, Lin Feng and the other two seemed a bit strange.

Lin Feng was quite normal, without any changes. It was mainly Yun Kai and Little Sister Dong who were behaving very unusually, even talkative Dong Yunan had become mute, it was unusually quiet during dinner which wasn’t like her.

“Yu Nan, what’s wrong, did you perform poorly in ’Honglian’ today and got scolded by Brother Feng?” Gao Hai curiously asked.

“Definitely, she must have been too scared to move in front of a demon beast, and her legs turned to jelly!”

Lin Xiaofei sipped his coke, a bit schadenfreude.

Ignoring Lin Xiaofei’s schadenfreude, seeing Lin Feng close the training room door, Little Sister Dong explained with a worried face, “Brother Feng refined a demon spirit, a first-grade one, we….”

“What?”

Upon hearing this news, Gao Hai was completely stunned.

The reward for the First Throne is entering the Demon Spirit Realm.

Tomorrow Lin Feng is going to enter the Demon Spirit Realm, the whole nation is looking forward to Lin Feng refining an Earth Chart demon spirit and witnessing the appearance of the child of glory.

Even if he couldn’t refine an Earth Chart demon spirit, at least it should be a rare ninth-grade demon spirit.

The instant he heard this news, Gao Hai’s reaction was disbelief, Brother Feng might refine a first-grade demon spirit!

What a joke!

What use is such a low-level demon spirit?

“I had guessed some of this earlier.”

In the silent and oppressive atmosphere, Yang Fan said with a bitter smile.

Lin Feng’s journey from obscurity to national attention was something he witnessed and participated in. Afterward, he was also in charge of the endorsement contracts and numerous negotiations with clubs.

That series of actions, which defied logic, had already caused Yang Fan to speculate, and he had asked Lin Feng about it as well.

But Lin Feng didn’t explain, and Yang Fan didn’t dare ask more.

Compared to everyone’s shock, Yang Fan was quite calm because he had already expected it in his heart.

But even so, he didn’t expect it would be such a low-grade first-grade demon spirit.

Isn’t this just a wasted demon spirit?

Even if it was a mid-level demon spirit, even if it was just fifth-grade, he could accept it.

A fifth-grade demon spirit, although disappointing to everyone, with Lin Feng’s martial arts talent and combat talent, there would still be many professional clubs willing to cultivate him.

Just like Thunder Team’s Double Blade Yun Tianqi.

Yun Tianqi isn’t a martial arts prodigy, and what he refined was only a sixth-grade Gale Mantis, but with his Double Blade Technique, Thunder Club was willing to spend vast resources on him.

Now, the sixth-grade Gale Mantis has evolved into an eighth-grade Ghost Shadow Mantis.

But a first-grade demon spirit, does it have any value for cultivation?

Even if the martial arts talent is extraordinary, would any club spend vast resources to cultivate a wasted demon spirit with no potential?

“What could you guess?”

Gao Hai glanced at Yang Fan, speaking very seriously: “The reason we are where we are today is because of Brother Feng. No matter what grade of demon spirit he refines, he must have his reasons. This demon spirit is very special, picked from millions of koi fish, it has dragon bloodlines and Thunder-Water dual attributes, that’s why Brother Feng chose it.”

The atmosphere was a bit silent and oppressive.

No matter how special, isn’t it still a first-grade demon spirit?

Yang Fan broke the silence:

“Big Head, it doesn’t matter if we believe in Brother Feng, do the advertising companies he represents and Juxing Club believe in him? They just signed the contract, and less than a day later, Brother Feng refines a demon spirit, it’s obviously planned. No matter how many reasons you give, it can’t cover up this fact.”

Gao Hai fell silent. Reluctantly, he admitted, as Yang Fan said, Lin Feng obviously had plans.

Actually, Gao Hai also knew, even if a first-grade demon spirit is special, it’s still a wasted demon spirit.

There’s never been an example of a first-grade demon spirit evolving into a mid-level demon spirit.

After Yang Fan finished speaking, he left the dining table, returning with a bottle of white wine in his hand, “Today is definitely going to be lively, I just want to have a good sleep, who wants some?”

“I’ll have a glass.”

Lin Xiaofei reached out, he also wanted to drown his worries in alcohol.

While worrying about Lin Feng, he also lamented for himself.

His happy life had just begun, and now it was ending.

Without Lin Feng as a backing, his days at Red Cloud University could only rely on himself.

If his family found out about this, he didn’t know how worried they would be.

“This matter can’t be hidden, obviously Brother Feng didn’t intend to hide it either, otherwise he wouldn’t have directly refined it in front of the Peak Squad.”

Yang Fan poured a cup for himself and Lin Xiaofei, continuing, “Soon the whole school will know, the whole nation will know, we need to worry about what to do next.”

“What else can we do, we’ve already signed the contract and the money’s been paid, can we go back on it?”

Gao Hai said directly: “As long as we’re at Red Cloud University, do they dare to come take it by force!”

Yang Fan drained the white wine from his cup in one gulp, the spicy liquor rolling down his throat, frowning yet amused, “Big Head, you’re thinking too simply, the money was given, but this money will be very hot, very hot indeed, just afraid of setting oneself on fire!”

“Is it that exaggerated!”

Lin Xiaofei thought Yang Fan was exaggerating a bit.

At worst, Lin Feng will just stay at Red Cloud University, as one of the Three Heroic Academies, who would dare to come and create trouble?

“Exaggerated? In my view, it’s not exaggerated at all!”

Yang Fan explained: “Unlike those small manufacturers before, now those seeking Brother Feng’s endorsement are large conglomerates and companies. A hundred million, perhaps they don’t mind, but nobody likes being played. Today Lin Feng dared to play them, in the future, someone else will dare to do the same, to avoid such trouble, they will retaliate.”

“Retaliate, what retaliation?” Yun Kai asked directly.

“These conglomerates and companies have deep connections and wide reach. At Red Cloud University, some geniuses are signed with these companies, not to mention Juxing Club, and as far as I know, from freshman to senior year, there’s seven super geniuses signed with Juxing, with many more wanting to sign. As soon as Juxing puts the word out, at Red Cloud University, countless people will challenge Brother Feng, making his life miserable!”

Yang Fan said, and this was his real concern.

By then facing all those challenges, can Lin Feng, who refined a first-grade demon spirit, still hold up?

Demon Spirit Masters stand above Martial Artists, and with the absorption of soul skills by Demon Spirit Masters, this gap will only grow larger.

Even though Lin Feng’s talent in martial arts is extraordinary, it cannot compensate for the fact that many Demon Spirit Masters also possess exceptional martial arts talent, and they refine powerful demon spirits as well.

“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, whoever dares to challenge Brother Feng has to get past me first.”

Yun Kai clenched his fists, his gaze steady and fierce: “Anyone who dares to challenge Brother Feng, I’ll break their bones. If one isn’t enough, then ten.”

Yun Kai’s gaze, wild as a lion, left Yang Fan a bit surprised and at the same time relieved.

He was originally worried whether Yun Kai would have any thoughts about quitting after Lin Feng refined a First Grade demon spirit.

If Yun Kai had any thoughts of leaving the team, this squad, known as the top tier in glory, would cease to exist.

With Yun Kai standing at the forefront, Lin Feng indeed would feel much less pressure.

Those who want to challenge Lin Feng would also have second thoughts.

“Do I need to say anything to my family?” Lin Xiaofei asked.

“No need, since all of this is Brother Feng’s plan, let Brother Feng decide himself.”

Yang Fan said and also told Dong Yunan: “Yu Nan, you don’t need to tell your dad either!”

“Okay.”

Little Sister Dong nodded obediently, though with a troubled expression.

…

In the brightly lit cultivation room,

Lin Feng stood in front of the mirror, with the Soul Power in his Soul Sea slightly quivering, immediately entering the state of Demon Transformation. Soon, nine phoenix tail-like silver patterns appeared around his left eye socket, and a faint white gauze covered his body.

At the same time, under Lin Feng’s control, the meridian route of the first transformation ’Fish Body’ from the Fish Dragon Transformation began to operate.

Due to a past Nightmare Possession, Lin Feng remembered the route of Spiritual Power circulation.

At this moment, the blue-purple Spiritual Power traversed through his meridians, bringing waves of coolness, and simultaneously, diamond-shaped golden scales covered Lin Feng’s arms.

Lin Feng clenched his fists, a strong sense of power filled his arms, he approached the punch test machine and threw a punch like a cannonball, heavily striking the machine’s target.

Bang!

The punch target wobbled.

’1250kg’

The punch test machine displayed the test result.

“Original power was around 650 kilograms, but in Demon Transformation state, the power has nearly doubled.”

Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with surprise.

This was purely physical strength, without the infusion of Spiritual Qi; otherwise, the power would double again.

With the increase in power, because his arms were covered in scales, ordinary swords and sabres would find it hard to break his arm’s defense, allowing Lin Feng to attack even more boldly.

However, what Lin Feng concerned himself with at the moment wasn’t the change in his body but the transformation of his demon spirit.

Perhaps because it was newly refined, the Fish Dragon Demon Spirit didn’t undergo any noticeable change, but when the first transformation cultivation technique of Fish Dragon Transformation operated, with Spiritual Power entering the Soul Sea, the Dragon Fish was evidently very lively and excited.

Today, entering ’Honglian’, inside the Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact, Lin Feng prepared thirteen demon spirits.

All were First Grade, water-attributed demon spirits; these were intended as food for the Dragon Fish.

Crushing three demon spirits, he directly slapped them onto his chest, but before the Dragon Fish could refine them, they were all absorbed by the Nightmare, leaving the poor Dragon Fish with nothing.

By crushing demon spirits, they directly turn into pure Soul Power, avoiding unwanted soul skills being absorbed along with the Soul Power.

If wishing for the demon spirit to absorb soul skills, one could let the Dragon Fish devour the demon spirit directly.

“The water-attributed demon spirits too! This Nightmare really isn’t picky.”

Lin Feng exited the Demon Transformation state, summoned the Dragon Fish from the Soul Sea to his right hand, faint glows wrapping around, and a completely silver-white carp appeared in Lin Feng’s palm.

Alongside this, Lin Feng grabbed a demon spirit, directly crushing it to transform into a milky white Soul Power enveloping the Dragon Fish, and when the Dragon Fish absorbed all of the Soul Power, he retracted it back into the Soul Sea.

…

Just as Lin Feng was in the cultivation room studying the Fish Dragon Demon Spirit and Fish Dragon Transformation, a piece of insider news spread throughout Red Cloud University.

Everyone who heard the news was utterly shocked and in disbelief.

“A First Grade demon spirit, is it true?”

“Refining a Dragon Fish, isn’t a Dragon Fish still just a fish? No matter how special a First Grade demon spirit is, it’s still a wasted demon spirit.”

“I’ve heard that Lin Feng has already signed dozens of endorsements, Ju Xing offered an enormous contract, and all the money has been paid. If this is true, they would go mad!”

“Is this a joke? Weren’t they saying he could refine Earth Chart demon spirits?”

“I said Lin Feng was boasting, how could someone encounter such a gifted genius and refine Earth Chart demon spirits, where would you find such a talent?”

“But Lin Feng’s team indeed entered ’Honglian’ today, many people saw it.”

“It’s not a joke; the news came from the Peak Squad. How could they make such claims if it weren’t true?”

Discussions about this matter could be heard everywhere at Red Cloud University, and soon, the news spread out of the campus and made it onto the Martial Artist Forum.

No.1 Villa.

Ring ring ring…

Lin Xiaofei’s phone rang.

“It’s my dad!”

This phone ring seemed like a signal, the next moment, everyone else’s phones began ringing almost simultaneously in succession.

“My dad called too.”

Dong Yunan said helplessly while holding her phone.

Meanwhile, both of Yang Fan’s phones were continuously vibrating, not only that, but emails and messages bombarded incessantly.

Yang Fan dared not answer or even look at them just then, directly turning off his phones, so as to avoid seeing and worrying about it.

The storm had evidently arrived…
