Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 428 - 314: Lin Feng’s Amazement

Before the match begins, both teams enter the preparation stage and start forming their formations.

The Red Cloud Team, just like the last match, uses a 3-2 formation.

Lin Feng stands in the middle at the front, with Yun Kai and Yu Qiao positioned on either side of him, two meters apart.

As for the Demon Star Team, their formation seems rather unusual.

Completely different from the last match, they’re using a 4-1 formation this time.

The strongest member, and team leader, Huang Tianze, stands behind four teammates, very close to each other.

Even with the previous match against Zhongnan University as a cautionary tale, they seem fearless of Lin Feng’s suicide-style attack.

The audience buzzes with discussion, and Song Xiangrong begins his commentary, though he can’t guess the reason. It’s evident that this would be a new tactical coordination.

"Be careful, something’s fishy!"

Lin Feng, seeing Huang Tianze almost hiding behind his teammates, whispers a reminder.

"Should I summon for this match? Tentacle Monster, or...?"

Yue Mingming asks from behind Lin Feng.

At this moment, his right hand grips 11 silver long swords connected by fine lines, with 17 more on his back. Despite appearing as Yun Kai’s tool bearer, Yue Mingming has grown more confident than before.

"No need for now, save the trump card for the Great Wall," Lin Feng says calmly.

Yu Qiao looks at the Demon Star Team, his brow slightly furrowed:

"Previously, Demon Star against Mingzhi University didn’t display tactical coordination, they just fought individually. Obviously, their aim was the same as ours. Have you noticed, the main lineup has changed two members!"

"Substitutes?"

Lin Feng hadn’t noticed, but upon closer inspection, indeed, two main players were replaced with substitutes.

This is rather odd. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Main players and substitutes aren’t just a symbol of identity and status, but also represent a difference in strength.

In the semifinals, substitutes generally don’t have the opportunity to play; they’re almost indistinguishable from the audience.

Unless the main players are injured and unable to participate, substitutes have a chance to play.

In the previous match, Demon Star Team had no injuries, and unless severely wounded like missing limbs, various advanced therapists and advanced healing techniques can heal injuries, restore soul power and qi and blood, making you revive with full strength.

Meaning these two substitutes were specially prepared for this.

Lin Feng recalls the information and slowly says:

"The five main members of Demon Star, Huang Tianze’s profession is a controller, combat strength isn’t his forte. His profession specializes in control and support.

Among the other four, one is Chen Zhijun with Thunder Technique. The strongest among them is Huang Zhongtian who has refined an Earth Chart Emperor Demon Bear. The other two substitutes are Yu Yongjun, who has refined a Ninth Grade Earth Demon Bear, and Guo Zhi, who has refined an Eighth Grade Golden Armor-Piercing. All three have refined earth attribute demon spirits. Although their combat strength isn’t as strong as the main players, their defense and control are quite exceptional."

Temporary substitutions, with such similar elemental spirit abilities, give Lin Feng some idea of these two substitutes’ roles.

"Abandon all previous plans. When the match starts, follow me in a full-scale attack. It’s best to disrupt them completely," Lin Feng says.

The other team members sense some of it and nod in agreement.

The preparation time quickly passes, and with the whistle blowing, the five members of the Red Cloud Team charge swiftly at their opponents, while running, they enter the demon possession and transformation states.

The Demon Star Team, however, behaves unusually. Facing Lin Feng’s offensive, everyone remains still, seemingly indifferent, and directly enters the demon transformation.

In just two or three seconds, the Demon Star Team completed their transformation. Just as Lin Feng’s group appears before them, the three people in front of the Demon Star Team suddenly squat down, supporting themselves with their right hands on the ground.

Before Lin Feng arrives, without time to attack, a five-meter diameter stone wall suddenly appears in front, obscuring everyone’s view. Before he can attack, the ground beneath rolls like waves, swiftly moving them backward by thirty to forty meters.

Silver soul skill ’Earth Wave.’

A silver soul skill with little offensive power but strong support capabilities.

Before they can stabilize...

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, the audience clearly feels the intense vibration of the ground. Amidst the trembling, in the competition area, accompanied by flying rubble, sturdy stone pillars erupt from the ground one after another.

The earthy yellow pillars have a diameter of two meters and a height of thirty to forty meters. In less than ten seconds, they occupy the entire field, turning it into a forest of stone pillars.

"Impressive."

Though they were prepared, this scene was still far beyond Lin Feng’s expectations.

"Don’t get separated, follow me!"

While dodging, Lin Feng shouts loudly, and as the words fall, the ground rolls like waves again. When he stabilized, Lin Feng glanced back quickly, only to see that besides Yu Qiao still behind him, Little Sister Dong and the other three have already disappeared.

Meanwhile, a dense fog begins to spread from a nearby location to the left; soon enough, it’ll envelop the entire field.

"Don’t bother searching, they couldn’t catch up." Seeing Lin Feng turn back, Yu Qiao slightly frowned and said.

Facing the continuously emerging stone pillars, they could only dodge constantly. Coupled with the rolling ’Earth Wave,’ even he almost couldn’t keep up, let alone Little Sister Dong and the others.

Their tactical coordination can’t be deployed in this stone pillar forest; losing three team members leaves no room for coordination.

Lin Feng surveys his surroundings but doesn’t spot anyone; only faintly hearing Yun Kai’s voice calling, yet strangely unable to discern the direction.
