Along the way, the atmosphere was heavy. Aside from Linfeng, everyone else was worried.
In their opinion, even if Linfeng was a combat genius and knew two Grade 3 Martial Skills, it was impossible for him to be Zhang Xingyu's opponent.
After all, Zhang Xingyu not only had the strength of a Peak Grade 2 Martial Artist, but he also refined a Grade 9 demon spirit.
Although they didn't know what kind of demon spirit it was, even the weakest Grade 9 demon spirit was very powerful.
There was no comparison between a Grade 1 and Grade 9. The difference in combat strength was like heaven and earth.
Other than the difference in rank, Zhang Xingyu had also absorbed two Martial Skills. Adding the innate skills of a high-grade demon spirit, he had a total of three Martial Skills.
Furthermore, Zhang Xingyu didn't only have talent. As an expert on the Wind Cloud List, it was enough to prove his strength.
Linfeng was the holder of the First Throne, this year's Newcomer King.
However, the new students weren't strong. Many of them had yet to become Martial Artists and had no combat experience.
Most of the new students refined their demon spirits on the day of awakening, which was only half a year ago.
In such a short time, they weren't able to use the demon spirit's innate skills, nor did they absorb any Martial Skills. They had never fought before. This was a fundamental difference from a second-year senior who had been in the Myriad World for a year.
No matter how you looked at it, Linfeng had no chance of winning.
A life and death battle didn't mean that one had to fight to the death. It only meant that if one died, no one would pursue the matter.
Zhang Xingyu only wanted to get the money back for the Yunjin Company. He probably wouldn't want Linfeng's life. However, without any restrictions, no one could be sure that there wouldn't be any accidents.
"It's fine. If you can't win, just admit defeat and return the money." Linfeng didn't care.
Why would he want someone's life for no reason? Money is more practical!
"Someone's looking for trouble again."
Dong Yunan reminded in a low voice.
In front of them, four youths were slowly walking towards them.
Zhang Xingyu's warning was just the beginning. Knowing that Linfeng was going to enter the Demon Spirit Realm this morning, in less than half an hour, Linfeng was warned by three people in a row.
All of them demanded a refund and an apology.
Among the three of them, one of them was the Vice Head of the Student Union's Operations Department. He had only verbally warned Linfeng. As his martial arts realm was higher than Lin Feng's, he could not attack Lin Feng.
As for the other two sophomores, one of them was called Chen Xiang. His strength was unknown, but he was ranked 6th and 9th on the Wind Cloud List. The other one was called Wang Jie, ranked 13th on the Wind Cloud List. He was even stronger than Zhang Xingyu.
Linfeng naturally could not return the money that he had received. Therefore, he directly ignored the fourth-year senior's threat. As for the other two second-year seniors, they were the same as Zhang Xingyu. They could challenge him if they wanted, but they would only accept gambling fights or life-and-death duels.
Perhaps Chen Xiang was a little afraid of Yunkai, or perhaps he was a little hesitant about Linfeng's confidence, but he did not agree.
As for Wang Jie, he gladly accepted. Thus, Lin Feng had another challenge.
This was a gambling fight, and the bet was 100 million yuan, which was exactly the amount Lin Feng would get for two years of endorsement.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, "Brother, you guys left so early!"
Looking at the figure that quickly ran over, the corner of Linfeng's mouth slightly rose. He was a little disappointed that he did not see Yue Mingming when he left in the morning.
Linfeng asked, "I'm unable to refine the Earth Ranking demon spirit and have become the most famous swindler in the country. You still want to join my team?"
Yue Mingming seriously nodded his head, "Of course, I admire your swindling methods."
.....
7: 30 AM
Linfeng and his group arrived at their destination, the Book Collection Pavilion.
The Demon Spirit World was not in the Book Collection Pavilion, nor was it in Hongyun University.
The Demon Spirit World was a special space within the Demon Spirit World.
It was a paradise for demon spirits, and there were thousands of demon spirits hidden within. Compared to the demon spirits in the Divine Artifact, although the demon spirits here were few in number, their ranks were higher, and every one of them was very precious.
Because if they weren't precious and rare, they wouldn't have the qualifications to enter the Demon Spirit World.
Linfeng and his group stood at the entrance, waiting. Yesterday, someone had already informed him that today's entry into the Demon Spirit World would be led by Bu Zheng and a summoner.
Entering the Demon Spirit World would obviously require a summoner to communicate with the Demon Spirit World.
"The College Entrance Champion is here!"
"If you want to enter the Demon Spirit World, you naturally have to come."
"You really have the face to enter. Why don't you give this treatment to Yunkai? So selfish!"
Many students noticed Linfeng, who was standing at the entrance, and ridiculed him.
After entering the Demon Spirit World, there's a chance to obtain an extremely precious soul skill.
And this treatment is only available to the first Throne holder every year. Even if you're a main member of the Hongyun Team, if you don't obtain the first Throne in the first year of the Throne Challenge, you won't be able to enter.
Only one person in a year has this treatment!
How could it not make others envious?
As the holder of the Throne, even if Linfeng enters the Demon Spirit World, no one can say anything even if they're envious. But now, Linfeng has refined a Grade 1 Demon Spirit. A trash Grade 1 Demon Spirit. In the eyes of many, Linfeng entering the Demon Spirit World is an extremely wasteful act.
Some people ridiculed, while others couldn't stand it and directly rebuked.
"I think you guys are just envious. Others relied on their own strength to obtain the first Throne. Why can't they come?"
"That's right, a bunch of idiots. If you have the guts, you can also cheat the contract from Juxing!"
"What a bunch of trash."
"With this 7 billion, even if he can't refine the Demon Spirit, with Linfeng's talent, he can easily beat you guys up."
"Who said that Linfeng doesn't dare to come out and meet people? Even he dares to have a life and death battle, do you guys have the guts?"
Linfeng refining a Grade 1 Demon Spirit has indeed disappointed many people. However, most of these people are just ordinary people and netizens. Because of their expectations, it led to disappointment, which led to ridicule and abuse.
However, there are still many students in Hongyun University who admire Linfeng.
Earning 7 billion in half a year, you can go and ask who else!
No matter what, even if it's a trash Demon Spirit, at least Linfeng has guts.
He didn't become a coward.
He just entered Grade 2 and refined a Grade 1 Demon Spirit, yet he dares to have a life and death battle with Zhang Xingyu, who's at the peak of Grade 2 and refined a Grade 9 Demon Spirit.
Who else has the guts and courage to do so?
While waiting silently, not far away, Bu Zheng and an old man in grey robes walked towards Linfeng's direction.
"Dean Bu," Linfeng and his group respectfully greeted.
Bu Zheng looked at Linfeng and asked, "You refined a carp?"
"Yeah," Linfeng nodded.
A carp with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan!
Dragonfish Transformation!
Bu Zheng's brows slightly knitted as a thought flashed through his mind.
With regards to Linfeng, Bu Zheng had high expectations.
Lin Feng's monstrous talent in the Martial Dao, superb combat techniques, and firm willpower. He was even said to be able to refine the Earth Ranking's demon spirits. All of these made Bu Cheng think that Lin Feng would become an invincible genius within the same realm.
No one would have thought that Linfeng refined a Grade 1 Demon Spirit.
Disappointment was certain, but after the disappointment, there were doubts and guesses.
Yesterday morning, when Linfeng entered the Library Pavilion to choose a soul cultivation technique, he knew that Linfeng was interested in the Dragonfish Transformation and was trying to cultivate it. Yesterday morning, he sternly warned Linfeng about the consequences of cultivating the Dragonfish Transformation. However, yesterday afternoon, Linfeng refined a demon spirit.
Furthermore, it's a carp with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan and a dual attribute of lightning and water.
Both the demon spirit and cultivation technique are dual attributes of lightning and water. Dragonfish Transformation, carp Dragon Transformation. Is this a coincidence?
'This kid refined a carp, could it be that he's cultivating the Dragonfish Transformation?'
Bu Zheng guessed in his heart. However, there were too many people here, so he didn't ask.
Beside Bu Zheng, the grey robed old man asked, "Who's going to enter the Demon Spirit Realm today?"
The faces of Gao Hai and the rest changed. Linfeng is the possessor of the First Throne. This old man should be a summoner, so he should know about it.
By asking this question, he obviously felt that Linfeng didn't have the qualifications to enter.
Linfeng naturally understood what he meant. His expression didn't change as he lightly said, "It's me."
As if he just reacted, the old man stared at Linfeng.
"I feel that you'll waste this opportunity!
A Grade 1 Demon Spirit can't absorb a high-grade Soul Skill. This opportunity is very precious. Why don't you give it to someone else, or sell it to someone else? "
Linfeng remained silent and didn't have any reaction.
Bu Zheng said, "Fang De, this is his reward."
Fang De shook his head, "I know, it's his reward. If he had refined a mid-grade demon spirit, I wouldn't have said anything. Let me ask you, what kind of soul skills can a first-grade demon spirit obtain?"
Bu Zheng looked at Fang De with a sharp gaze, but didn't answer.
Soul Skills are divided into five ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, and Diamond.
Generally speaking, a Grade 1 Demon Spirit can only absorb a Grade 1 Demon Spirit's Soul Skill. If you're lucky, you can absorb a Grade 2 Demon Spirit's Soul Skill.
Most of the Grade 1 and Grade 2 Demon Spirit's Soul Skills are Bronze Rank.
In the Demon Spirit Realm, rare high-grade Demon Spirits can be seen everywhere. However, it's very difficult to find a low-grade Demon Spirit.
Fang De didn't know Linfeng, and the two of them didn't have any interactions. Therefore, he didn't deliberately make things difficult for him.
He just felt that he was wasting this opportunity and his own Soul Skill.
"Why don't you give this opportunity to Yunkai!
He's more suitable than you! "Seeing that Linfeng didn't respond, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed through Fang De's eyes.
Linfeng remained silent.
Fang De didn't give up. He pointed at Yunkai and said, "You can't bear to give it to your own brother?"
When those words came out, Linfeng's expression changed for the first time.
This old man's words are obviously trying to sow discord between him and Yunkai.
Yunkai's expression also changed, and said, "I don't need it!"
"Heh …"
Fang De sneered and didn't say another word. If Linfeng doesn't agree, he can't take away Linfeng's right.
Seemingly too lazy to look at Linfeng, Fang De took the lead and entered the Book Collection Pavilion.
"Let's go, don't be affected." Bu Zheng said to Linfeng and also entered the Book Collection Pavilion.
"Feng, do your best."
Yunkai said as he clenched his fist.
Linfeng nodded at Yunkai. He didn't say anything else and followed behind.
When they arrived at the ninth level of the Book Collection Pavilion, they still met that mysterious alien race.
This time, he just glanced at Linfeng and didn't say anything.
Linfeng followed behind Bu Zheng, and the three of them arrived at a secret room.
The secret room wasn't big, only about ten square meters, but it seemed very spacious. Other than a few glowing stones inlaid on the walls and an array carved on the ground, there was nothing else.
Linfeng didn't know much about arrays. He only knew that this array was very advanced because spatial arrays were all very advanced. Moreover, there were many runes and patterns carved on the array, dazzling the eyes. Around the array, there were four grooves, and each groove had a gray crystal the size of an egg.
The surface of the gray crystal was bumpy and irregular. It didn't have a specific shape.
"Hmm …"
Linfeng looked at the array for a while. In less than ten seconds, he felt dizzy. It was as if the world was spinning, and his soul was about to be taken away.
"Don't look, the array will devour your mental strength," Bu Zheng reminded him.
Linfeng hurriedly closed his eyes and shifted his gaze. "Thank you, Dean Bu."
"This is the demon core of a spatial demon beast. A single one is worth tens of billions. Because spatial demon beasts are too rare, this kind of demon core can't be bought."
Seeing that Linfeng was curious about the array, Bu Zheng explained.
"Entering the Demon Spirit World requires the energy of these demon cores. That's why I said that you wasted this opportunity."
Fang De sneered. Linfeng's thick skin made him very unhappy.
"Fang De, you talk too much!"
Bu Zheng looked at Fang De, frowned and reprimanded.
No matter what rank the demon spirit was, Linfeng obtained this opportunity with his strength. Whether or not he wasted it was Linfeng's right, and no one could take it away from him.
Moreover, Bu Zheng felt that Linfeng wasn't that simple.
How could someone who could play the entire country, including the Juxing Club, be a simple character?
Perhaps, he had his own plans.
Facing the angry Bu Zheng, Fang De was obviously a little afraid. He shook his head and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that Fang De had stopped talking, Bu Zheng turned around and continued to explain to Linfeng. "Although a summoner can summon demon beasts, they need to sign a contract with them. Moreover, they can only summon them to their side. If they want to send someone to another world, they need the help of an array. The stronger one is, the greater the energy consumption. This is also why only freshmen can enjoy this treatment. Since you've broken through to the second grade, the energy consumption for this teleportation will be at least one-third higher."
"The Demon Spirit World has a similar function as a Guardian Artifact.
In that special space, demon spirits don't have to worry about dissipating. Moreover, the Demon Spirit World is more suitable for demon spirits to grow. Whether it's refining demon spirits or absorbing soul skills, the success rate is higher. "
"The Demon Spirit World is the same as the extradimensional space. Because of the instability of the space, it will suppress the strength of those who enter. It will suppress martial artists of the second grade and above."
"In the Demon Spirit Realm, you may encounter outsiders. That's because that space was originally created by outsiders. Those precious demon spirits were also placed there by outsiders."
"When you enter the Demon Spirit World, the first thing to do is not to look for demon spirits, but to observe the surroundings for foreign races. Those who can enter the Demon Spirit World are the geniuses of their race. If you're discovered, you know the consequences."
Linfeng nodded. He didn't think that the Demon Spirit World would be so dangerous.
"Take this scale. If you encounter any foreign races, regardless of whether they have absorbed soul skills or not, crush it immediately. This is the scale of Fang De's summoned beast. Once you crush it, he will sense it and summon you back."
Bu Zheng took out a dark purple scale and handed it to Linfeng. He said seriously, "Remember, crush it if you encounter any foreign races. After five seconds, Fang De will summon you back. You only have one chance, and there must be no obstacles. In other words, you can't be caught."
Linfeng nodded, but he felt a little uneasy.
It wasn't the threat of the foreign races. Since it suppressed the strength of those above the Second Stage, Linfeng wasn't too worried.
What made him uneasy was the feeling of his life being controlled by others. It made him feel insecure.
Especially this Fang De, who had a lot of opinions about him entering the Demon Spirit World. Fortunately, Bu Zheng was also there.
"Dean Bu, did anyone not return?" Linfeng asked.
"Yes, a total of seventy-six new students entered the Demon Spirit World. Six did not return." Bu Zheng said.
Linfeng was a little surprised.
Out of thirteen people, one did not return. The probability wasn't low.
No wonder Bu Zheng gave him such a serious warning.
Not being able to return was equivalent to death. The mortality rate was quite high.
If it wasn't for the precious soul skills, no one would be willing to take such a huge risk.
"Did you bring the Qi Blood Pill and Soul Nurturing Pill?" Bu Zheng asked.
"Yes."
Linfeng nodded. Someone had called him yesterday to inform him of the things he should bring.
"Did you bring a weapon?"
Bu Zheng glanced at Linfeng.
Linfeng flipped his left hand and a dagger appeared in his palm.
Originally, he wanted to bring a bow and arrows. However, he was told that he could only bring small weapons, such as daggers and short swords.
Bu Zheng nodded. "If your hands and feet are caught by the foreign race, you can use the dagger to cut them off. If you fail, you can easily end your life with a weapon to save yourself from being tortured."
Linfeng's face changed. So this was the use of a weapon.
"Get ready. Stand in the middle of the array." Bu Zheng pointed at the array.
Linfeng walked to the center of the array.
Bu Zheng looked at Fang De. Fang De slightly closed his eyes. His body and demon spirit fused and changed. At this moment, long black whiskers appeared on Fang De's body. These whiskers danced like tentacles, looking a little strange. Following that, his body became illusory, as if he didn't have a physical body. The originally dim spatial array emitted a light. Specks of silver white light enveloped Linfeng like stars. The light became more and more dazzling. After it bloomed, the light dissipated.
At this moment, Linfeng had disappeared from the array.
