Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 355 - 263: Dance Anew

Conceding defeat, Xie Xiang knew he was no match, and after him, facing the giant-like Lin Feng, the battles became dull. The fights barely lasted longer than two minutes, as they were brutally crushed by Lin Feng with no resistance.

Lin Feng demonstrated to the students of Demon Star what a Berserker truly was.

With Lin Feng’s Sixth Grade martial arts strength, even graduates possessing such power were few and far between.

Although Lin Feng’s Lifebound Demon Spirit was low in grade, he absorbed high-level soul skills, including Purple Gold and Diamond soul skills, and his combat experience far surpassed his peers. Coupled with the divine-level Cultivation Technique "Fish Dragon Transformation", he had no weaknesses.

Even illusions and spiritual attacks had little effect on Lin Feng.

This arena challenge gathered the strongest students of Demon Star University. Some students refined high-grade demon spirits and boasted powerful natural skills, but still couldn’t resist absolute power.

Victory might be possible if it were a team battle, but as Yu Qiao said, this kind of one-on-one was somewhat bullying.

In less than an hour and a half, nineteen challengers had already failed consecutively, while Lin Feng remained composed and hadn’t even taken a break.

Nobody expected the supposedly intense arena challenge to be so awkward.

The teachers and students of Demon Star even felt Lin Feng was getting bored, otherwise, he wouldn’t have reverted from his giant-like state.

"There’s only one left, who’s up?"

"Eight of the top ten in combat rankings have gone up, and four of the five Demon Star Team’s main players, and even two substitutes. There’s no one left to fight, is there?"

Even though they didn’t want to lose momentum, faced with the invincible Lin Feng, the students were genuinely puzzled about who could defeat him.

If they lost one more, this arena challenge would be over.

Lin Feng would become the third in history to succeed in the arena challenge, creating the fastest record for such an event.

This would undoubtedly be embarrassing for Demon Star University.

Perhaps because Lin Feng was too powerful, or because the final challenge would determine the victory or defeat of the arena challenge, no one stepped forward after the nineteenth challenger fell.

Nobody had the confidence to make a grand entrance, nor did they want to bear such pressure.

Half an hour passed, and even though Lin Feng’s soul power had recovered to its best state, still no one stood forth.

Compared to the defeat, this lack of courage seemed even more humiliating. In the vast Martial Arts Arena, whispers aside, there was no other sound, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

"If no one else can do it, Gao Xian, why don’t you go?"

Huang Tianze, seeing no one stepping forward, said to a young man beside him.

Gao Xian, a main member of the Demon Star Team, is a Berserker, specializing in melee combat, strong, but definitely no match for Lin Feng.

Going would be just to throw away a life.

But dragging on brought no benefit.

"Me?"

Gao Xian frowned, hesitating for a moment. Under Team Captain Huang Tianze’s gaze, he could only nod reluctantly.

If it were earlier, he would have had no objections, but now, knowing he’s not a match and still having to lose as the finale was not something he wanted.

No one stepping forward left even the mentors feeling embarrassed. Previous arena challenges were same-tier matches, but now Lin Feng had reached Sixth Grade, and students from Demon Star University, both freshmen and graduates, could challenge him, yet were all frightened by just him alone.

Lin Feng didn’t rush, standing quietly waiting.

.....

In the front row of the audience, He Jun clenched her fist, appearing somewhat hesitant.

"Perhaps, this is the only chance in my life to dance,"

He Jun murmured to herself, then made a decision. Just as Gao Xian was preparing to enter the arena, she stood and ran, with one leap, directly jumping into the Martial Arts Arena.

"Wow, someone entered the arena."

"Why is it a new face, a freshman from this year? So young?"

"Can’t you see she has a chest? That’s a girl!"

"It’s He Jun, that backdoor tomboy. I heard she’s about to get expelled for being at the bottom all year long."

As He Jun appeared before Lin Feng, many questioned and mocked her.

He Jun, a Demon Spirit Academy senior, last in the combat ranking, is known as the bottom of the barrel, her skills even lower than some freshmen.

The challengers before, although unscreened, were recognized strong ones with the courage to act.

To determine victory as the finale, having a known underdog as the challenger—was she just joking?

Even knowing the slim hope of victory, as the finale, if He Jun was instantly defeated, it would be too embarrassing. If spread online, surely some would question Demon Star University’s level and strength.

"Someone actually stepped up."

Gao Xian, about to enter the Martial Arts Arena, heaved a sigh of relief.

Huang Tianze, slightly frowning, was such a towering figure and would not recognize an underdog like He Jun. They had no interaction, but he vaguely heard that name.

Rumor was she got in through special admission, yet remained last in her class year after year, earning the title of underdog.

How could an underdog have the courage to challenge Lin Feng?

"Do you want to challenge me?"

Looking at the short-haired, clean-looking girl in a t-shirt and jeans, seemingly indistinguishable from a boy, Lin Feng asked.

He also heard the skepticism and ridicule, so appeared somewhat confused.

This He Jun was indeed a girl but deliberately dressed and styled like a boy. Clearly sensing the classmates’ doubts and taunts, her slightly dim eyes carried a stubbornness.

"Yes!"

He Jun nodded, glanced at Lin Feng, and although she tried her best to stay calm, her body slightly trembled, clearly nervous.

"He Jun, don’t be nervous, this is your only chance to dance. If you fail, you’ll have no chance to change your fate. Your brother will be bedridden for life, and your family will have to live in the Satellite City forever, unable to move to the Base City. So, there’s no retreat, what are you fearing?"

Silently thinking in her heart, He Jun’s eyes began to firm up, a determination that left Lin Feng slightly stunned.

"Alright, ladies first, you make the first move."

Lin Feng nodded.

Who the opponent was made little difference to him. This was also why no one drove He Jun away despite the mockery.

After all, none could defeat Lin Feng, changing people was meaningless.

For many, a quick defeat would be better to end this awkward arena challenge.

"This chance to showcase is very important to me. Could you refrain from interrupting me when I release my innate skill later?" He Jun looked at Lin Feng, her voice carrying a hint of plea.

In the final battle to decide the challenge’s outcome, this request seemed excessive, yet He Jun still voiced it.

If interrupted by Lin Feng, she’d have no opportunity to display.

"Alright."

Lin Feng agreed lightly, unbothered.

"Thank you."

Grateful eyes, He Jun stepped back, accompanied by an agonizing roar, her entire body seemed shrouded in darkness. Bloody marks, much like Curse Seals, appeared on her skin, resembling something spiritual, twisting and spreading to every corner of her body.

The roar grew increasingly painful, and at close range, Lin Feng saw He Jun’s contorted expression, veins bulging and twitching all over, turning her face pale in an instant.

"What kind of demon spirit is this, one I’ve never seen before, with an aura that even I find intimidating!"

Lin Feng focused on He Jun, his heart racing, sensing a fearsome aura from her. Even the Demigod Nightmare couldn’t induce such a feeling in him.

As those bloody Curse Seal-like lines spread over her body, even her face, He Jun ceased shaking. Behind her, a two-meter-tall shadow of pitch-black began to form.

When this terrifying aura, reminiscent of a Demon God, emerged, Lin Feng took a step back, finally showing caution on his face.
