Merging with Demon Spirits
Chapter 600 - 433: Return to Red Cloud
The people welcomed the returning heroes with screams and cheers.
The cheers, like a tsunami, continued for five or six minutes until people’s voices turned hoarse, and then it gradually stopped.
"Quite popular, eh!"
Yun Tianqi waved to the crowd and said to Lin Feng beside him.
As one of the Top Ten Glory All-Stars, Yun Tianqi had millions of fans, and wherever he went before, it was a sea of cheers.
He had seen such scenes many times, but somehow this felt different.
"It’s different when it’s home ground," Lin Feng said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of emotion.
The scene and the cheers reminded him of Awakening Day two years ago.
That day, Jiang City also turned into a sea of cheers, and the protagonists were the top ten rising stars shown on the Light Curtain.
Among them, Ye Qiu’s cheers were the loudest.
The yelling lasted the longest.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng glanced at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu felt it, sensed Lin Feng’s gaze, and then a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "A familiar feeling, but you weren’t there at that time."
Ye Qiu’s tone held a bit of tease.
On Awakening Day two years ago, Lin Feng failed in the Refinement of a Demon Spirit and didn’t have the qualifications to enjoy such cheers.
Speaking of which, he also felt some emotion?
Since Awakening Day, in just two short years, they had gone through much, their hands had been stained with blood, and it felt like a long time had passed.
"Haha," Lin Feng chuckled.
"Not right, maybe he actually succeeded!"
The smile on Ye Qiu’s face suddenly disappeared, he thought silently in his heart.
He suddenly realized Lin Feng already had two Demon Spirits.
The First Rank Dragon Fish was refined by Lin Feng at the start of his first year in university, and the second Demon Spirit was very likely refined on Awakening Day.
This mysterious Demon Spirit might just be Lin Feng’s Lifebound Demon Spirit.
At that time, Lin Feng, knowing the uniqueness of this Demon Spirit, used special means to block the perception of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, which was why it was not detected.
And this mysterious Demon Spirit should be similar to He Jun’s Demon Spirit, a Demon Spirit that had never appeared and was undocumented.
Lin Feng could very likely increase the success rate of absorbing Soul Skills because of this Demon Spirit’s ability.
Of course, this was all just his guess.
About this mysterious Demon Spirit, he and others in the alliance were very curious, sometimes discussing it privately, but since Lin Feng kept silent, they didn’t ask too much.
Everyone has secrets to some extent.
Lin Feng’s silence certainly had its reasons.
In midair, many people floated in the void, looking down at the boiling sea of people underfoot, they too were shocked.
"Such popularity is incredible, Guanglin has never been so lively."
"Their achievements deserve such cheers."
"It’s normal for Lin Feng’s five to return, but why are even Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi in Guanglin?"
"They must have a purpose; they might be up to something again."
"It’s alright they came, Guanglin has many Seven-Star and Eight-Star Space Gates that need unlocking."
Amidst the cheers, Lin Feng’s team was riding a bus heading toward Red Cloud University.
There were too many people at the scene, and the crowd was overly excited, so the departments maintaining order were afraid of accidents and therefore made Lin Feng’s team leave quickly.
Amidst the cheers along the way, twenty minutes later, the bus stopped at the gates of Red Cloud University.
"Here they come! Here they come!"
"Whoa, Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing really came."
"Ye Xing, look this way."
"Yun Tianqi, I love you, I want to have your children!"
"Lin Feng’s team is really awesome, even Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing joined."
Today, classes were suspended for a day at Red Cloud University, and almost all teachers and students were waiting for Lin Feng’s team to arrive. When they saw everyone get off the bus, cheers like thunder erupted once again.
This scene made Rong Wei’s group, who also came, change their expressions repeatedly.
With such popularity, they really had no chance for a comeback.
Let alone targeting the Jianghu Martial Arts Club, even resistance seemed difficult.
"Damn it!"
Rong Wei cursed in a low voice, feeling powerless to change the situation.
"Let’s go."
Rong Wei took a deep look at Little Sister Dong and then told his companions, taking the lead to leave, not wanting to see the scene of Lin Feng’s team being so welcomed.
He also needed to hurry back, to seize whatever opportunity before Lin Feng and the others made their move.
"Alas!"
The seven department heads looked at each other, feeling equally helpless, and could only follow in Rong Wei’s footsteps to leave.
"You’ve performed excellently, Red Cloud is proud of you."
Vice Principal Deng Lun, along with a group of university leaders, first appeared in front of Lin Feng’s team. Deng Lun nodded to Bu Zheng, then encouraged Lin Feng and the others.
At this moment, he did not display the demeanor of a vice principal.
Faced with Lin Feng’s team’s achievements, he had no right to act in such a manner.
As he spoke, Deng Lun’s gaze swept over Ye Qiu and the others, lingering slightly on Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing.
He was equally puzzled about the purpose of Ye Qiu’s group’s arrival.
The arrival of Ye Qiu and the other two could be understood, as they were all part of the Three Heroic Academies, and exchanges between them were quite normal. But what business did Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing have at Red Cloud?
Though puzzled, Deng Lun didn’t ask further on this occasion, he would just ask Bu Zheng later.
"That’s expected," Lin Feng said.
There were no long speeches or formal welcome ceremonies. After a few casual words, Bu Zheng stayed, and Lin Feng’s team left. Half an hour later, they returned to the villa.
"Brother Feng!"
Gao Hai, Yang Fan, and Lin Xiaofei, having waited outside the villa long before, couldn’t approach earlier because of the crowd. Seeing everyone arrive now, they appeared somewhat excited, even nervous.
The five members of the Red Cloud Team were familiar to them. No matter how glorious their achievements, there was no need to be nervous about them. Ye Qiu and Yang Ningbing were also acquaintances. What made them nervous was seeing Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing.
Top Ten Glory All-Stars!
Big stars they used to only see on TV were now in front of them. How could they not be nervous?
This scene felt somewhat unreal just thinking about it.
Lin Feng patted Gao Hai and Yang Fan on the shoulder, introducing them to Yun Tianqi and the others: "Gao Hai and Yang Fan, my good brothers."
Then he pointed to Lin Xiaofei: "Lin Xiaofei, my cousin."
No formalities, Yun Tianqi and his companions nodded, considering it a greeting.
Gao Hai and the other two also quickly nodded in response, their expressions somewhat uneasy, appearing a bit at a loss.
"What’s there to be nervous about? We’re all on the same side, strength isn’t that great anyway."
Yu Qiao noticed their nervousness, speaking dismissively.
This comment left Gao Hai and the others in disbelief, their mouths slightly open, eyes filled with incredulity.
Such arrogance, isn’t that a bit much!
It’s one thing with Ye Qiu and the others, as they’re on the same level, but Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing’s strength? What about yours? Aren’t you afraid of getting beaten up?
At Red Cloud University, Yu Qiao was infamous for his arrogance, and nobody dared to provoke him. But in front of Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing, how could he dare?
"You damn brat, acting all tough,"
Cloud Tianqi cursed, unable to resist wanting to teach Yu Qiao a lesson. But Yu Qiao vanished using Invisibility right after his sentence, not leaving him a chance.
"This kid,"
Ye Xing smiled wryly with some helplessness.
He had gotten used to Yu Qiao’s arrogance and sharp tongue. Yu Qiao had been dealt with by him several times, but he still didn’t change his arrogant ways.
Zhan Tianyu and the others said nothing, simply enjoying the show as usual.
"Do you think I’m still the old Yu Qiao, and that you can easily handle me?"
Yu Qiao’s voice came through, still full of disdain.
Yun Tianqi sat on the sofa, too lazy to bother with him.
As an Assassin, Yu Qiao had disappeared without a trace, and Yun Tianqi truly couldn’t find him immediately.
Although Yu Qiao was courting death, with his antics mixed in, Gao Hai and Yang Fan became less tense.
It seemed that Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi were approachable and didn’t act superior.
At this moment, Gao Hai and the others weren’t aware of Lin Feng’s team’s true capabilities.
And Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing weren’t as easy to approach as they appeared.
As top ten all-stars, Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing were naturally proud.
Or perhaps it shouldn’t be called pride, but perspective.
With their identity and prowess, they didn’t regard ordinary people.
But after joining the Avengers Alliance, they’d withdrawn and, in front of Lin Feng, couldn’t act arrogantly.
Now, leveraging He Jun’s abilities, the increasing strength of everyone had narrowed the gap with them, so there was even less reason to be arrogant.
This was also why Yu Qiao had become increasingly audacious. Compared to before, he now had the ability to resist Yun Tianqi.
As everyone sat on the sofa, Lin Feng asked Gao Hai and Yang Fan, "How have you been recently?"
"Pretty good. We were suppressed by the student council for a while, but after you won the championship, they became low-key, and now they’re quite well-behaved, not daring to target us anymore,"
Yang Fan explained, quickly adding, "But I’ve heard that recently Rong Wei has been frantically making money, probably knowing you guys are returning and wanting to do one last job."
"Hmm,"
Lin Feng nodded, not paying much attention, and neither did the others.
Currently, the student council wasn’t worth considering for them, such minor players weren’t worth worrying about.
"Brother Feng, why have you all come back?" Gao Hai asked with some curiosity.
Yang Fan also looked at Lin Feng.
They were all curious. With Lin Feng’s team’s current strength, returning to Red Cloud University didn’t seem to hold much significance.
Even if returning, there wasn’t a need for so many people.
With Lin Feng’s team’s current popularity, dealing with the student council didn’t require so many people.
They even called Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing.
Actually, it wasn’t just Yang Fan and the others who were puzzled; the rest were too.
Facing everyone’s puzzlement, Lin Feng revealed his plan: "Starting today, we’ll use Red Cloud University as our base, uniting all the geniuses across universities while sealing off the Seven-Star and Eight-Star space gates nationwide!"
