At this moment, Lin Feng could feel that he had become Yunkai's accessory, just like a free gift at the supermarket.
Although the representatives of the various clubs didn't directly say it, they didn't hide their thoughts either, because this was normal for the Professional Alliance.
Lin Feng didn't take it to heart, and he calmly rejected the invitations of the various clubs.
As the core, Yunkai could clearly feel this. He shook his head at the invitation, glanced at Lin Feng, and didn't have much of a reaction.
Dong Xiaomei and Yue Mingming's lips curled into an amused smile, as if they wanted to laugh.
When did Feng become an accessory?
Apart from Yu Qiao, the four members of the main lineup all knew of Lin Feng's strength.
One had to know that Lin Feng wasn't just a martial arts freak.
He had absorbed a purple-gold soul skill from his first soul skill, and now, all four of his soul skills were purple-gold soul skills. If it wasn't for the fear of being too shocking, the Glory League would be shocked.
Seeing that Lin Feng and Yunkai were stubborn and had no intention of signing with a club, the representatives of the various clubs didn't waste any more time. After greeting them, they quickly left to find other targets.
At this moment, the banquet had clearly become a time for the various clubs and team members to communicate.
Some of the team members were very interested in joining a club, and began to discuss the salary and details of the contract.
Some had already come into contact before, and they directly signed the contract on the spot. As for the true geniuses, such as Ye Qiu and Zhan Tianyu, they weren't interested.
They were the children of large families and financial groups, and they didn't lack resources. With their strength, they were confident that they could get better contracts in the future.
"Hello, I'm Maleficent's Huang Tianze."
At this moment, a group of five people wearing black sportswear with the "Maleficent" badge on their chests appeared in front of Lin Feng.
The leader was a handsome young man with long hair. He held a wine glass and introduced himself.
Actually, there was no need for an introduction. Lin Feng already knew him.
Huang Tianze!
The captain of the Maleficent team.
His coach had specially explained and researched his information.
Huang Tianze, who had graduated in his fourth year of university this year, had the strength of an upper-stage Rank-5. He had refined the Nether Fiend Spider, which was ranked 69th on the Earth Leaderboard.
Although his fame and martial arts realm were not as good as Zhan Tianyu's, in Linfeng's opinion, his potential was not weaker than Zhan Tianyu's.
There were rumors that Huang Tianze was preparing to walk the path of Spirit Emperor Hong Xian.
Hong Xian, the patriarch of the Hong Clan of the Glory Clan, was also one of the thirteen emperors of the human race.
He was a Soul King, and his natal demon spirit was the ninth grade Demonic Gloom Spider.
Among the Ninth Grade demon spirits, the Demonic Gloom Spider's strength wasn't considered strong. Its strength was on the weaker side, not to mention when compared to the Earth Ranking demon spirits.
On the other hand, the Demonic Gloom Spider's innate skill was Spider Silk, which was only Bronze-ranked and was the lowest ranked Soul Skill.
There was a huge gap between the rank of the soul skill and the rank of the demon spirit; they didn't match.
Spider silk, other than being a little tough, had no special characteristics.
However, no one would have thought that Hong Xian would be able to develop this seemingly weak spider silk to such a powerful and perfect state.
He strengthened the spider silk's toughness and attack speed, allowing it to easily cut the enemy and form a continuous spider web to bind the enemy.
The demon spirit's innate ability had been developed into many different types by him.
Among the thirteen emperors, the demon spirit he refined was considered the lowest rank, but its strength was ranked fourth.
This was the perfect performance of a demon spirit.
Because of Hong Xian's strength, many people began to compete to be the first to imitate the demon spirit's advancement.
Although no one had reached Hong Xian's height, and some had even crippled their demon spirit, there were still people who achieved good results.
Huang Tianze was one of them.
Compared to Huang Tianze, there was a two meter tall youth behind him. His build was comparable to Yunkai's, and he attracted Linfeng's attention.
He spread his wings.
Like Linfeng, he had just entered his third year and was currently at the peak of the fourth grade. However, he was born with divine strength and refined the Earth Leaderboard's 69th ranked Demonic Bear. The demon spirit's innate ability was combined with his own divine strength. His fighting style was simple and violent, shocking people. He was also known as Little Ye Xing.
Like Ye Qiu, he was a substitute this time.
"Hello, Demonic Spider Huang Tianze. I've heard of you."
Linfeng stood up and took the lead to extend his hand.
Huang Tianze smiled. He was originally handsome, but now that he smiled, many women's eyes lit up.
Because of his outstanding appearance and talent, it was said that he had become a must-have rookie in the Star Assembly.
Although he hadn't graduated yet, he had already begun to endorse advertisements with the help of a large number of female fans.
Like Linfeng, he was one of the few people who had yet to join the Glory of Glory Professional Alliance to endorse advertisements.
Compared to others, Linfeng was more clear about Huang Tianze.
If he remembered correctly, this youth had become a Soul King in a short ten years.
He had indeed walked the same path as Hong Xian. Not only that, after becoming a Soul King, he was also accepted as a disciple by Hong Xian.
In Linfeng's memory, he was one of the most outstanding powerhouses of that era.
If not for refining the Nightmare, he would not have had any interaction with such a super genius.
Huang Tianze reached out and shook Linfeng's hand. Then, he naturally sat on the sofa beside Linfeng. At the same time, his teammates also found chairs and sat down.
"I saw the news yesterday. Haha, it was very satisfying. I also didn't like that guy. He thinks he can be arrogant just because he refined the Six-Armed Heavenly Demon."
There was no need for a self-introduction. As an opponent, everyone knew the basic information. Huang Tianze said with a smile.
This wasn't just a polite remark.
As the only Rank-6 contestant in this competition, he had refined the Six-Armed Heavenly Demon, ranked 32 on the Earth Leaderboard. In terms of strength and talent, Zhan Tianyu could be said to be number one. Linfeng dared to make a move on him and even threatened him. Even if they weren't Linfeng's fans, they still had to admit defeat.
They had to admit defeat.
This style of fighting when one was unconvinced was indeed very attractive.
At the same time, Linfeng had further solidified the title of "Ruthless" and "Madman".
After a simple chat, the Maleficent team left. They didn't talk about anything else. It was as if they were just here to get familiar with each other.
"Feng, that Zhang Fangyi looked at you and Yunkai with killing intent."
Dong Xiaomei stared at Zhang Fangyi's back and whispered.
"What killing intent? He was just unwilling to accept it."
Linfeng pushed Dong Xiaomei's watermelon head away and smiled casually.
There was no enmity or resentment. Where did the killing intent come from?
They were of the same age. He and Yunkai were participating in the competition as the main lineup. Zhang Fangyi was just a substitute. Whether he could participate in the competition was another matter. It was inevitable that he was unwilling to accept it.
"Feng, that Zhang Ling has been staring at you."
Dong Xiaomei reminded him again.
Linfeng looked in the direction Dong Xiaomei pointed and turned his head. Zhang Ling's eyes were complicated. There was anger and regret …
However, she didn't go up to cause trouble.
The banquet didn't last long. After an hour, Linfeng and the rest had eaten their fill and were playing with their phones on the sofa.
"Alright, let's pack up. The press conference is about to begin."
As the lights dimmed, Bu Zheng, who was standing at the side, reminded everyone.
Tonight's banquet wasn't the main point. The next press conference was.
"The press conference is about to begin. All teams, please come to the top of the stage."
A male host said with a microphone hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Linfeng got up and walked toward the stage like the other teams.
At the same time, the cameras started to shoot. All the major networks and television platforms started to broadcast the event live.
At the same time, the reporters on the periphery started to randomly interview the onlookers who were unwilling to leave the hotel.
"Hello everyone. The press conference for the preliminary round is about to begin. The passionate fans have already gathered at the entrance of the hotel. Let me ask them some questions."
"I support Yunkai. Who can be as domineering as my Kaihuang? Kaihuang, I love you. I want to give birth to your children …"
"Why is Ye Qiu a substitute?
Linfeng is qualified to be in the main lineup. Why isn't Ye Qiu qualified?!
I'm not convinced. Ye Qiu's millions of fans are not convinced. "
"Why is Zhan Tianyu so arrogant? First place? In front of Linfeng, he's still getting beaten up. He has strength but he doesn't even dare to fart."
"I'm guessing that Zhan Tianyu is avenging Yang Ningbing. After all, Yang Ningbing was kicked out of the team by Linfeng. That's the reason for the conflict."
"Of course, Great Wall University will be the champion. Maleficent will be the second and Hongyun will be the third. Isn't this the usual practice?
Hongyun is just a mouth cannon. Their previous results have proven everything. If mouth cannon is useful, why would there be a need for battles? "
"I think this time, Hongyun Team is a little weak. Linfeng, Yunkai, and Yu Qiao are fine. They still have strength. However, they brought along two burdens. That Yue Mingming isn't even a Demon Spiritualist!
This time, they might not even be able to enter the top three. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. "
"Huang Tianze is also very strong. Aren't you guys looking down on him?"
"Zhang Yiming will definitely exceed all of your expectations. Just wait and see."
Following the reporter's questions, the topic of the press conference became heated.
Especially the conflict between Linfeng and Zhan Tianyu, it attracted the attention of many.
The interview lasted for five minutes. Soon, the screen switched back to the press conference.
"The Battle of Glory for University Students, since …"
The host followed the usual routine and introduced the origin of the Battle of Glory and its significance to humanity.
"Alright, let's invite our thirteen teams to the stage."
Following the cheers, the various teams went on stage one by one and stood in a row.
Those invited to the banquet were all politicians, rich businessmen, and Martial Dao experts. They were all people with high authority. Because there were no cheers from fans, only polite applause.
Following the end of the introduction, the various teams sat down and accepted the reporter's questions.
"I would like to ask about the conflict between Linfeng and Zhan Tianyu not long ago. What was the cause?"
The first to ask was a middle-aged man. He was a fat reporter who weighed around two hundred pounds.
The conflict was the main focus of everyone. Other than that, there wasn't much to ask.
Linfeng and Zhan Tianyu remained silent and did not answer.
Seeing this, the fat reporter did not give up and continued to ask, "Was it because of Yang Ningbing or Ya Ge? Zhan Tianyu, who did you do it for?"
Not only did the reporter care about the cause of the conflict, he also started to gossip.
Seeing this, Zhan Tianyu had no choice but to clarify, "It's just a simple conflict. It's not because of anyone."
This answer obviously didn't satisfy the reporter. He continued to ask, "Regarding Linfeng's challenge, why didn't you dare to answer? Is it because you're afraid?"
This question was obviously meant to provoke a conflict.
At this moment, Zhan Tianyu's expression was somewhat serious.
"It's not because I'm afraid. With my strength, there's no possibility of me being afraid. I just feel that there's no need."
"In the Alternate World, we have to face the spying and hunting of the foreign races. Everyone should unite and fight against the foreign enemies together. If we kill each other, then there's no need to participate in the Battle of Glory. This goes against the purpose of the Battle of Glory."
This answer clearly satisfied the reporter. He didn't continue to ask Zhan Tianyu. Instead, he started to ask Linfeng, "Student Linfeng, do you have anything to say in response to Zhan Tianyu's words?"
Linfeng's expression was calm, but he sneered in his heart.
Zhan Tianyu's answer was indeed very clever. He didn't directly answer the reason for the conflict, but instead brought up the topic of killing each other. If he didn't answer well, he would give people the impression that he was cold-blooded and selfish.
Beside Linfeng, Coach Huang frowned slightly. He clearly knew that there was something wrong with Zhan Tianyu's answer.
Linfeng couldn't avoid answering this question. Therefore, he said coldly, "He came close to me and spouted sh * t. It was disgusting."
The same tough attitude made all the reporters' eyes light up slightly. Zhan Tianyu's expression was extremely ugly, but he resisted the urge to flare up.
At the same time, Linfeng continued, "I'm just saying that if you're not convinced, you can fight in the preliminary round. What's the point of killing each other? Is a battle just a matter of life and death?
Or do you want to fight to the death?
If you feel that it's more dangerous to fight in the Alternate World, why don't you have a battle later? If you lose, you can go home directly. What do you think? "
At this point, Linfeng looked at Zhan Tianyu.
The scene was silent for a moment, and then it was followed by an uproar.
Many reporters looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Too tough!
This was a live broadcast!
Provocations and challenges at the press conference of the preliminary round were not rare. After all, reporters often deliberately asked questions that caused conflicts. However, it was the first time that a challenge was directly issued before the preliminary round.
This was simply too arrogant, too explosive.
At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast was also stunned. They felt their blood boiling.
At this moment, many people couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts and screamed and cheered.
It was unknown how many people had become his fans.
