Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 339 - 251: Becoming Someone Everyone Loves!
On the way back, it was calm and smooth, without encountering the Alien Race, and hardly encountering any Demon Beasts. Perhaps the day and night of battle, with its intense bloody smell, even instilled fear in the Demon Beasts.
Though no Alien Race was encountered, along the way, we met many people—soldiers in uniforms, adventurers wielding weapons, teenagers as young as ten, and those in their twenties. There were middle-aged people with big bellies and elderly looking seventy or eighty with white hair.
"You’ve returned!"
These people of various ages were somewhat excited to see the seven members of Lin Feng’s team, their eyes glowing faintly with admiration.
Though they didn’t know Lin Feng’s seven in person, they greeted them like family, without much saying, just smiling kindly and asking, "You’ve returned!"
The seven of Lin Feng’s team had sealed a gate and terrified the Alien Race, causing a national sensation.
The Dragon King Hall sent people to support, and Lin Feng’s team naturally had backing, which was the entire nation. Shanghai also sent people to support, along with many adventurers voluntarily coming.
Among them, there were some not very strong, only at Fourth Grade or Fifth Grade Martial Arts, and some elderly with little combat power.
Some entered there to strengthen their momentum, no matter what, the vigor can’t be lost.
Others just wanted to personally welcome Lin Feng’s team.
Welcome them home.
Only when they entered the Jade Seal Spatial Gate, they didn’t encounter any Alien Race, only scattered Alien Race corpses on the ground. Looking far, Jade Seal City was enveloped in black smoke and had become a ruin, with no Alien Race inside, becoming an empty city.
Only then did they understand that Lin Feng’s team had succeeded.
Succeeded in sealing a gate!
"Kids must be tired, oh yes, you must be hungry."
A white-haired old woman looked kindly at Lin Feng’s team, her gaze gentle and doting, like looking at her grandchildren. After speaking, she seemed to remember something, hurriedly took out some drinks and bread from her bag, and handed them to Lin Feng’s team, chatting a few words like having a casual conversation, though her tone was slightly trembling, her eyes red as if she had cried.
She was just a Second Grade Martial Artist, not even a Demon Spirit Master, but her grandson was a prodigy who got into Demon Star University, only to die in the preliminary match two years ago in Jade Seal City.
Even the killer was unknown, and she couldn’t seek revenge. Lin Feng’s team now sealed the Jade Seal Spatial Gate, causing the Alien Race to flee, which avenged her grandson.
"Yes, we’ve returned."
Lin Feng’s team nodded. Facing the old woman’s reddened eyes, they were somewhat surprised, but didn’t ask much, each taking a drink, though cautiously not drinking it.
Since the hunting game started yesterday, they had become the focus of the nation and even the world, having killed so many Alien Race members, would certainly rise to the Human Race bounty list.
Not only on the Divine Martial Continent, even in the Twelve Base Cities, they must be careful.
Along the way, there were constant welcomes. When Lin Feng’s team reached near the Spatial Gate, thousands had gathered waiting. They looked at the safe-returning Lin Feng’s team and displayed a relieved smile.
"They’ve returned, all have returned."
"This time they really showed off, killing over a thousand Alien Race members without any of ours being lost, so domineering."
People discussed excitedly while looking at Lin Feng’s team, who returned unharmed, their mood filled with enthusiasm.
This was a complete victory!
Previously, even if a gate was sealed, it often came with heavy casualties, a mutual wound with sighs of celebration and sadness. But now it’s a complete victory, only happiness remains.
"Brother Feng, you’ve returned!"
"Brother Feng, this time was so awesome!"
Beside the Spatial Gate, Little Sister Dong and Yue Mingming were eagerly waiting and quickly ran to him upon seeing Lin Feng appear.
Lin Feng, Yun Kai, and Yu Qiao accomplished such a prestigious feat, and they felt both envious and proud.
After all, they were members of the Red Cloud Team.
It wasn’t only Little Sister Dong; other team members were also present, eyeing Lin Feng’s team with envy and admiration. At this moment, disputes about schools or teams were nonexistent. The achievements of Lin Feng’s team and their significance far exceeded the competition itself.
Even the national university championship finals wouldn’t garner such global attention.
Amidst the crowd’s embrace, Lin Feng’s team passed through layer upon layer of the Spatial Gate.
As they walked out of the Jade Seal depot, cameras immediately caught the scene, the image of Lin Feng’s team appearing on the Light Curtain, followed by a wave of heat and cheers reigniting Shanghai into a state of celebration.
"Glory!"
"Glory!"
"Glory!"
The collective shout and screams of fifty thousand people made Lin Feng’s team’s ears ring, the fervent worship making their blood seem to boil.
At this moment, they were the focus of everyone’s attention, the embodiment of honor in everyone’s eyes.
Even Shanghai’s Guardian Divine Artifact shone brightly as if illuminating Lin Feng’s team.
And before televisions, witnessing Lin Feng’s team’s appearance, waiting people instantly went wild, that moment cheers echoed nationwide.
"Such a feeling."
Yu Qiao’s body slightly trembled; he never imagined he’d have such a glorious day.
Known as the "Old Wily Goods," he was normally not favored, never before liked like this, with people calling his name.
In his view, even winning a national championship wouldn’t lead to such an outpouring of support.
Yang Ningbing was equally excited, as the prodigious daughter of the Yang Race, receiving attention from a young age, having witnessed large-scale events, but this was also her most brilliant moment since birth, perhaps her life’s greatest honor.
However, without a doubt, Lin Feng’s shine was the most radiant.
"This is your source of pride!"
Looking at Lin Feng’s back, her gaze was complex, murmuring to herself.
Not long ago, she was kicked out of the team by Lin Feng, lost the captain role, so naturally she felt some resentment and unwillingness; but witnessing Lin Feng’s performance in the Jade Seal Spatial Gate, only genuine admiration remained, as for previous minor conflicts, what did they matter?
Thinking two years back, they discussed returning to the family, and Lin Feng’s refusal seemed presumptuous, even thinking he’d regret and willingly return to the family someday; now in hindsight, it seemed laughable.
What was laughable was herself!
The young man before her, didn’t need family support; he stood alone, became the top scorer in the college entrance exams.
Now, he sealed a gate, with world attention, his achievements dazzling, needing to yield to no one, no power!
Starting today, many families and powers would vie to nurture him.
The whole nation would pave the way for him!
She dared not imagine, if the media knew this genius who terrorized the Alien Race into fleeing, catching nationwide attention, was actually an abandoned illegitimate child, how would they mock the Yang Race?
Or it could become a joke.
"Someday, we will stand on the world stage!"
Yun Kai gazed at Lin Feng’s back, suddenly recalling Lin Feng’s words, back then he doubted, felt the world stage was too distant.
Even with his Ancestral Demonization potential, could he achieve it?
But now, feeling the cheers and attention of fifty thousand people, he already prematurely experienced this touch of world recognition.
He liked this feeling.
Liking people cheering for him, shouting for him.
Liking being someone everyone likes!
