2 PM in the afternoon.
Glory Sports Centre.
Excited crowds, carnival-like atmosphere. Tens of thousands of people gathered outside the stadium, queuing to enter.
It was already September, the weather was hot and humid. Under the scorching sun, their bodies were unbearably hot. However, this still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the crowd.
Along with the buses carrying the various teams, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
When Lin Feng and his team got off the bus, they were accompanied by tsunami-like cheers and dazzling flashes. A group of reporters rushed forward.
Compared to the casual atmosphere of the preliminary round, Lin Feng and his team were very formal today. They wore red and white sportswear with a blood-red Hongyun on their right chest.
On the Hongyun, there were the words' Hongyun University '.
When they got off the bus, Lin Feng and his team were surrounded by reporters.
"Lin Feng, what are your thoughts on the internet regarding you as cruel and cold-blooded?"
"Xie Yixiao will miss more than ten matches in the future, as well as the serious injury on his right hand. Do you have any apologies or anything you want to say to him?"
"The Great Wall Team has four super geniuses that refined Earth Ranking demon spirits. With such a luxurious combination, as the captain of the Hongyun Team, do you have the confidence to win the championship?"
"Yang Ningbing was originally the captain of the Hongyun Team. However, she was forcefully kicked out of the Hongyun Team by you and joined the Great Wall Team. Now that you're facing a strong opponent, do you have mixed feelings?"
"Lin Feng, is the rumour about your illegitimate child true?"
As soon as they got out of the car, the reporters raised their microphones and asked Lin Feng questions.
In this year's National University of Glory League, there were many geniuses and bright stars. Ye Qiu, Yunkai, and a few others didn't lose to Lin Feng in terms of attention. However, there was no doubt that Lin Feng was the most talked about.
The media focused on the super geniuses.
Lin Feng was publicly recognized as an invincible Rank-6. At the age of twenty-one, he broke through to Rank-6.
As for Lin Feng's soul talent, it had always been a topic of speculation and discussion.
In just two short years, the demon spirit had already broken through to the Fifth Stage. It had absorbed five soul skills, three of which were purple-gold soul skills and one of which was a diamond soul skill.
From the looks of it, Lin Feng's talent in soul cultivation made him a super genius.
In addition, Lin Feng's news was also very popular.
As for the other contestants, it was very difficult to find an attractive news story.
However, Linfeng was a hot topic in the news.
Most importantly, Lin Feng was famous for being a troublemaker.
This was universally acknowledged by men and women, old and young.
There was no doubt about it.
Look, yesterday at the Rookie Challenge, he almost crippled Xie Yixiao, one of the ten All Stars.
Compared to other super geniuses, Lin Feng was the favorite of the media and reporters.
If there was a topic, there would be news.
As soon as Lin Feng appeared, he attracted the attention of all the reporters. The other teams and members did not have any sense of presence. Everyone shook their heads helplessly. They were slowly getting used to it.
Only Yu Qiao was unhappy.
His presence seemed to be the lowest, the same as the three substitutes.
Yesterday at the Rookie Challenge, he didn't perform well, so why didn't his fame increase?
As for the main five, forget about Lin Feng and Yunkai. Even the weak Yue Mingming and Dong Xiaomei had questions. However, he didn't have any.
Damn it, this bunch of snobs. No, they're blind!
Yu Qiao's face was ugly as he cursed in his heart.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?"
The more Yu Qiao thought about it, the angrier he got. He swept his gaze around and suddenly grabbed a fat reporter.
The fat reporter was startled by Yu Qiao, causing the fat on his body to tremble.
He almost peed himself.
His small eyes widened with a dumbfounded expression. What's going on?
He's been a reporter for more than ten years, but this was the first time he's met a weirdo who wanted to meet him.
He naturally knew about Yu Qiao. Yesterday at the Rookie Challenge, his performance was also very eye-catching.
Although Yu Qiao's strength is strong, he only refined a ninth grade demon spirit. He's not a super genius who refined a demon spirit on the Earth Ranking, nor does he have a legendary class. His fame is also very low, and his appearance is also very ordinary.
Why would anyone want to see him?
However, seeing Yu Qiao's unhappy face and his eyes as cold as a snake, as if he would attack at any second, the reporter thought to himself that a wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you have anything to say to Captain Lin Feng?"
"Fuck."
Yu Qiao's right hand slightly trembled as his face changed. He resisted the urge to make a move, pointed his middle finger at the camera, and left.
I asked you to interview me, but you asked about Lin Feng.
Damn it, you're too much of a bully.
Yu Qiao was eager to be interviewed, but Lin Feng rejected all interviews.
He stood there expressionlessly, waiting for a while. Under the protection of the security, he walked on the red carpet into the Glory Sports Centre.
Passing by the resting area, they didn't stop and directly entered the indoor stadium.
Boom … …
From silence to noise, everyone's face slightly changed.
The scene in front of them was far more shocking than last night.
People, at a glance, there were people everywhere.
The auditorium was already full, and even the aisles were full of people. There were at least more than 300,000 spectators in the stadium.
300,000 people, equivalent to the population of a small city.
The game hadn't started yet, but the terrifying sound waves and gazes made everyone's hair stand on end and their blood boil.
Even Lin Feng was an exception.
This was an instinctive reaction. In such an environment, even he couldn't keep calm.
Compared to Lin Feng, the rest of the team members were even more unbearable. Their faces were flushed, and their bodies were slightly trembling.
In the Crimson Cloud Battle Team, Yu Qiao was the calmest. It was as though he was used to such grand occasions. He surveyed his surroundings, raised his right hand and waved towards the audience, "The fans are too passionate."
Lin Feng glanced at Yu Qiao. He was speechless, but also somewhat impressed.
This kid has a future.
These were Lin Feng's heartfelt words.
Different from other professions, to become a top assassin, in addition to talent, psychological quality was also very important.
There were many requirements for psychological quality, but it could be summed up in three points: patience, courage, and shamelessness.
Yu Qiao had all three, and could be called perfect.
Under the lead of the coach, everyone came to the team area.
The team area was divided into 13 areas, with a total of 13 rows.
They were divided according to the ranking of the previous tournament.
In the previous tournament, the Hongyun Team was third place, so they were in the third row.
Seeing the Hongyun Team pass by, many team captains and members stood up to greet them.
Mainly to greet Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's performance in Imperial Seal City had already conquered them.
They couldn't help but admire him.
"They're here."
In front of the Hongyun Team was the Maleficent Team. Seeing everyone arrive, the captain, Huang Tianze, turned around and waved to everyone.
"This popularity and appeal is a bit too much."
Seeing this scene, Bu Zheng was a little puzzled.
Not only Huang Tianze, but also the popular Great Wall Team.
Ye Qiu, Zhan Tianyu, and Yang Ningbing either waved or nodded.
As a super genius and a disciple of a big family, even if they recognized Lin Feng, it seemed to be too polite?
It even gave him the illusion that Lin Feng was the boss.
Bu Zheng didn't know. Although they were opponents in the competition, as a member of the alliance, he knew about Lin Feng's special ability. As for the results of this competition, Ye Qiu and the others didn't care too much.
Soul skills were very important, and the National College Glory Tournament's rewards were the most important.
The reward for first place was a diamond soul skill.
But no matter how important a soul skill was, it was only useful if it could be absorbed.
If it couldn't be absorbed, the god-rank soul skill would be wasted.
Lin Feng's special ability made the original competitive relationship weaken a lot.
As Lin Feng said: We are not opponents, we are teammates!
Although they wouldn't show mercy in the competition, their mentality was completely different from before.
"Dad, where are you? In the northeast. Can you see me?"
Dong Xiaomei held her phone and looked at the audience, waving her small hands excitedly.
In the audience, Dong Xiuxian looked at his daughter who was constantly waving her hands with a doting expression.
In two years, Dong Xiaomei's height and appearance hadn't changed much. She was still less than 1.6 meters tall, with short legs, a watermelon hairstyle, and baby fat. In her father's eyes, she was still very cute, just a little more mature.
Looking at his daughter's uniform, Dong Xiuxian still felt a little unreal.
Who would have thought that in just two years, not only did his daughter's martial arts strength reach the upper-stage of the fourth rank, she also absorbed four soul skills and became the main force of the Hongyun Team, participated in the National College Glory Tournament, and even entered the semi-finals.
Even he didn't have such experience and achievements.
As a father, Dong Xiuxian was naturally aware of his daughter's strength. His daughter's soul skills were also decided by him.
Although Dong Xiaomei's strength was good, she still had a long way to go to become the main force of the team. She didn't even have the qualifications to be a substitute.
Just as the media said, Dong Xiaomei relied on connections and stepped on the shoulders of Lin Feng and Yunkai to reach this step.
At Hongyun University, during the Freshman Throne Challenge, Dong Xiaomei sat on the second throne without making a move.
Now, she was the main force of the team.
Therefore, Dong Xiaomei, who didn't have any achievements, was also criticized.
She was called a fake and a backdoor entrant.
As a father, Dong Xiuxian was naturally uncomfortable when he heard this, but he couldn't refute this point of view.
Although it was unpleasant to hear, it was the truth.
However, in his opinion, connections were also a part of strength.
Who would have thought that in the conference room two years ago, one tall and one short, two ordinary looking youths, would become the focus of the entire country.
Perhaps, in less than ten years, Lin Feng and Yunkai's strength would surpass his.
Before the age of thirty, it's the period where one's growth speed is the fastest.
Although he's a Ninth Grade Demon Spiritualist and refined a Ninth Grade Demon Spirit, it's not surprising for him to be surpassed by such super geniuses.
"Hehe, your daughter is so cute."
Lin Yuan-shan, who was as fat as a Maitreya Buddha, chuckled at the side.
Not only Dong Xiuxian had such a feeling, as Lin Feng's uncle, he also felt that it was unreal.
This cheap nephew of his had exceeded his imagination again and again.
In another part of the audience.
The Juxing Club's higher-ups and the team's members were also in the audience.
Among them, the thing that surprised the media the most was that Xie Yixiao was also there.
Compared to yesterday, when he was heavily injured, other than his right hand being wrapped in thick gauze, there were no other injuries on his body. His face was a little pale as he coldly stared at the team's area.
Not far behind him, there was a team of twenty to thirty people. All of them were young men and women around the age of twenty. Among them, there was a girl wearing a black dress. Her pure and charming aura was especially eye-catching.
It's Ya Ge.
Because of her relationship with Lin Feng, Ya Ge originally didn't want to come to the semi-finals. However, this was the team's arrangement and she didn't want to find a reason to reject it.
Seeing Lin Feng's current radiance, her feelings were especially complicated.
In this situation, the surrounding people's gazes were all focused on her. Those casual words seemed to be discussing her. The ordinary laughter seemed to be ridiculing her for not being able to see.
This feeling, she hated it.
Very much.
Originally, she thought that when the Charming Butterfly evolved into a Charming Banshee, she would be able to get rid of this feeling.
However, it seems that it's very difficult now.
Her growth speed couldn't be compared to Lin Feng's. Right now, she's still nothing. Lin Feng has already sealed a door and is famous throughout the country.
"Are you unresigned and want to surpass him?"
Just when Ya Ge was secretly vexed, a voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
Ya Ge's body slightly trembled. She looked left and right, but didn't discover anything.
"What's wrong?
What are you looking for? "
Feng Yining, who was beside Ya Ge, asked doubtfully.
"Nothing." Ya Ge shook her head and didn't explain.
"Who are you?
What's your motive? "
After being surprised, Ya Ge quickly calmed down.
This voice belonged to a middle-aged man. It didn't ring in her ears, but directly appeared in her mind.
This was clearly a special Soul Skill. It didn't have any offensive capabilities and couldn't do anything to her.
Furthermore, there were many experts here. The Charming Butterfly was a spiritual-type demon spirit, so the other party couldn't really hurt her.
"Don't care who I am or what my motive is. You're an adult and have your own thoughts and judgment. I just want to ask you, do you want to obtain power?"
"Do you want to surpass him?"
That voice continued.
There was no tempting voice, just a simple question.
Ya Ge was silent for a long time. She was guessing what the mysterious man's motive was.
What could he give her?
Was there any danger?
What did she have to pay?
Seeing that Ya Ge didn't respond, the voice didn't urge her.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar back of the Hongyun Team, feeling the strange gazes of the surrounding audience, and even the gazes and discussions of her teammates, the hesitation and worry in the girl's eyes gradually dissipated. She slowly opened her mouth, her voice was unprecedentedly firm.
"I want to!"
