Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 340 - 252: You’ll Be Sorry

Due to his unique appearance at birth and the discrimination he faced in childhood, Yun Kai’s wish from the day he became aware was to not be disliked by others.

To not be disliked by others.

This is a wish that almost no one would make.

A very simple wish, but one that was out of reach for him.

Two years ago, Lin Feng made his wish come true.

Overnight, he transformed from a half-beastman hated by everyone to a world-renowned exceptional talent, admired and revered wherever he went.

Now, his wish has not changed, only expanded, becoming the desire to be someone everyone loves.

Now, he has achieved this.

And all of this was brought to him by Lin Feng. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

When Yun Kai stood beside Lin Feng, looking at Lin Feng’s calm eyes, for some reason, he did not feel much joy or excitement. In his dark eyes, there seemed to be a trace of loneliness hidden.

"Brother Feng, what are you really thinking?" Yun Kai thought to himself.

As Lin Feng and the others appeared, the Guardians of Shanghai and some important figures from various factions also descended to the ground. Looking at these seven individuals who attracted global attention, even they couldn’t help but gaze with admiration and approval.

They knew that from today on, Lin Feng and his group had entered the sight of the nation’s top officials.

The seven were exceptionally talented even before, and this rare experience would lead to a transformation.

They could distinctly feel that the gaze and temperament of Lin Feng and his group were noticeably different from their peers.

"Back!"

Like everyone else, Bu Zheng greeted them with this word.

Although it was only a day since they last met, it felt like it had been much longer.

Of course, it wasn’t a feeling of a day apart being like three years, but rather a fear of suddenly losing them.

Locking down a gate, even without witnessing it firsthand, Bu Zheng could guess the dangers Lin Feng faced.

A single misstep, and they might have forever been buried on the Divine Martial Continent.

Thankfully, they all returned.

Of course, many were ambushed by the alien race and died on the Divine Martial Continent, but at this time, no one would deliberately bring it up. Except for family and friends, no one would remember their names.

For martial artists, such deaths are too common.

Every year, too many people die.

If all were to be commemorated and if everyone were to wallow in sorrow, life wouldn’t go on.

"Yes, we’re back," Lin Feng said.

"Later, someone will ask some questions. You may choose not to answer," Bu Zheng turned and reminded Lin Feng.

Yun Kai furrowed his brow, a bit surprised, but quickly understood.

Lin Feng nodded and said nothing more.

Even though they had accomplished results that drew the attention of the world, there were no press conferences or similar events held. Amidst cheers, Lin Feng and his group, led by Bu Zheng, followed some important figures into a conference room.

"In this preliminary round, the seven of you performed excellently, showcasing the talents of Huaxia to the world,"

Upon entering the conference room, a middle-aged man in traditional Tang clothing first praised Lin Feng and his group.

He was one of the Guardians of Shanghai, named Jiang Ti. As soon as his voice fell, someone chimed in with more words of praise, which Lin Feng found uninteresting.

What he wanted were rewards!

He wanted pills, money, and rare demon spirits!

After simple praises, routine questions followed since many things that happened afterward were unknown to the important figures.

With the unsealing of the Jade Seal Spatial Gate, aliens would not dare to enter for a while, allowing Shanghai to send folks to develop the space gate, thus needing some situation assessment.

Such as what happened that day, who they hunted, how many they killed, and regarding these inquiries, Lin Feng remained silent, letting Yang Ningbing do the talking. To outsiders, Lin Feng stood there looking aloof, as if he was hard to approach.

The aloof Lin Feng seemed challenging to approach, but this did not diminish the admiration people had for him.

Apparently, most of the credit for sealing the Jade Seal Spatial Gate belonged to Lin Feng.

Hai Wei and Tian Qing, along with Huang Ying, all died at Lin Feng’s hands. It could be said that without Lin Feng, the other six wouldn’t have achieved such a feat.

Even Yang Ningbing spoke with great admiration for Lin Feng.

"Good, your performance this time will be documented in your life records. There will be rewards from Shanghai soon, and the country will also provide rewards. We will communicate with you beforehand,"

Jiang Ti said.

Yu Qiao and others seemed excited, as the rewards would definitely be substantial. After all, sealing a space gate was a significant achievement, and Lin Feng was sure to receive the most rewards.

Because he killed the most people.

"Student Lin Feng, can I ask how you killed Hai Wei?"

Suddenly, someone asked Lin Feng.

Lin Feng turned to the direction of the voice, seeing a clean-shaven, scholarly-looking man wearing glasses, around forty years old, dressed in a meticulous small suit.

Although Lin Feng couldn’t tell his status, the man having the qualification to sit in the conference room indicated he was likely of Guardian or King Level status.

"Such a poser,"

Lin Feng muttered in his heart.

Martial artists don’t have the trouble of nearsightedness, and in his view, those who wear glasses are pretentious and not good people.

Moreover, he detested such small suits, finding them very effeminate.

Bu Zheng slightly furrowed his brow, looking at Jiang Ti, who did not intervene, clearly also curious.

Seeing Lin Feng’s gaze, the scholarly man smiled slightly:

"Don’t get me wrong; I’m just curious. Hai Wei is recognized as invincible in the Sixth Grade. He refined an Earth Chart Dragon Race demon spirit, cultivated the ’Fish Dragon Transformation’ technique, and possessed the Giant Spirit God bloodline. Even an Eighth Grade Grandmaster is no match for him. How did you, just entering Sixth Grade, manage to kill him? Of course, everyone has secrets, and you’re free not to answer."

Secrets!

You may choose not to answer!

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng coldly chuckled inside but did not retaliate, merely saying calmly, "If strength isn’t enough, use your brains!"

"Haha."

Hearing Lin Feng’s response, someone couldn’t help but laugh.

His retort was indeed sharp.

Many were curious about Lin Feng’s means, wondering if there was truly some secret involved, but it was mere curiosity. If Lin Feng chose not to reveal, no one would force him.

Lin Feng, at his current stage, was not someone easily coerced.

Furthermore, with Lin Feng being so young yet possessing such strength, no one wanted to make an enemy of someone with boundless potential.

Everyone has some cards they don’t want revealed, and as King Level powerhouses, there’s likely no secret compelling enough to sway them.

Lin Feng is only in the Sixth Grade Realm; his martial arts talent, although extraordinary, isn’t unique. Even if there are truly secrets, they’re likely useless to individuals of such stature.

"I heard that Student Lin Feng can transform into a giant over four meters tall. Is this a technique you’ve cultivated, a bloodline talent, or a demon spirit ability?"

Wang Xin continued to inquire.

He seemed very persistent about Lin Feng’s secrets.

And Lin Feng’s ability to transform into a giant wasn’t exactly a secret, as aliens had witnessed it and many others had as well.

"Cultivation technique and soul skill, it’s a secret. Do I need to explain it to you?"

This time, Bu Zheng spoke with a displeased tone.

"I just wanted to know...."

Wang Xin was about to continue when Lin Feng impatiently interrupted, "What’s it to you?"

Wang Xin paused, his expression shifting, not expecting Lin Feng to counter him like this.

Before he could speak, Lin Feng turned to Jiang Ti and asked, "Guardian Jiang, do I have to explain my cards to anyone?"

Jiang Ti was slightly startled, clearly not expecting Lin Feng to ask him such a question.

"No need, that’s your freedom."

Jiang Ti replied.

Lin Feng nodded, then left the conference room; Yun Kai and Yu Qiao quickly followed, Zhan Tianyu and the others exchanged a glance, smiled among themselves, and followed Lin Feng out.

At this moment, several faces changed slightly.

Wang Xin looked somewhat displeased.

At this moment, the cohesion displayed by Lin Feng left him a bit flustered.

Though just seven Middle Grade martial artists, without a Flying Realm or Seventh Grade Demon Spirit Master among them, each of the seven was exceptionally gifted. Aside from Lin Feng and Yu Qiao, all had remarkable backgrounds and potential to become King Level powerhouses. Perhaps in a decade or so, they could become seven King Level experts!

Such a formidable force, even the Emperor Realm cannot easily dismiss!

Many looked at Wang Xin with teasing eyes.

Any of these seven is beyond your grasp, let alone all of them together. One misstep, and you’ll be in for a hard time.
