No one would have thought that the Transcendent expert, Hong Tao, would suddenly ask about Linfeng.
Although Linfeng's reputation is great, he's not an expert.
One must know that Hong Tao didn't even bother answering the questions of ordinary Kings. So why would he be interested in Linfeng?
Yang Qingtian and Yang Qing were also puzzled, but they didn't say anything.
Everybody was astonished as they all looked at Lin Feng in unison.
"I am!"
Facing everyone's gaze, Linfeng slowly stood up.
He looked at Hong Tao with shock and unease in his heart.
At this moment, Linfeng was less than thirty meters away from Hong Tao. This is also his first time coming into contact with a Transcendent expert.
This is the pinnacle of the human race.
Transcendents and Martial Emperors are known as Sovereigns.
When a Fighter refines his body and opens one hundred and eight meridians, he can open a Heavenly Abode within his body.
With a Heavenly Abode, not only can one quickly absorb spiritual energy, they can also nurture divine weapons within.
Martial Kings are also known as Heavenly Abode experts.
When a Martial King's body is refined to the extreme, they can transform into elements. This realm is also known as Martial Emperor.
A Demon Spiritualist is different from a Fighter. Their main goal is to strengthen their demon spirit and absorb soul skills.
When a demon spirit breaks through to the 9th grade, it will undergo a transformation. Not only can it absorb the tenth soul skill, it can also leave the soul sea and release attacks and support.
At this stage, the demon spirit already possesses intelligence.
This realm is known as Spirit King, also known as Soul King.
When the demon spirit continues to grow stronger, it can transform into an 'External Incarnation'. This realm is also known as Transcendent.
For a Transcendent expert, even if their physical body is destroyed, as long as their External Incarnation exists, they will not die.
Martial Emperors can transform their bodies into elements. For a Transcendent to have an External Incarnation, they are all inhuman existences. Wanting to kill an Emperor is extremely difficult.
A Demon Spiritualist is above a Fighter.
In terms of strength and status, a Transcendent expert is slightly higher than a Martial Emperor.
Hong Tao can be said to be one of the strongest experts in the world.
Linfeng didn't know why a Transcendent would look for him.
Although he felt uneasy, he wasn't too worried because such an Emperor wouldn't target an insignificant person.
Geniuses that haven't matured are meaningless to such an expert.
"You're not bad!"
Hong Tao's gaze rested on Linfeng as he praised him.
These words caused many people to be surprised and at the same time, they also revealed looks of envy.
To be able to receive praise from a transcendent, anyone who wanted to target Lin Feng in the future would have to consider the consequences.
Linfeng's talent was monstrous to begin with. If he had the Flood Emperor as his backer, he would most likely soar to the heavens.
Compared to other people's envy, some people's faces were unsightly.
Among them, there were two apostle candidates.
If Lin Feng obtained Hong Tao's favor, they could only give up on the plan to kill Lin Feng.
They didn't want to offend Transcendents.
Hong Tao's strength was not weaker than the 12 Heavenly Kings.
Even if one became an apostle and offended Hong Tao, the consequences would be dire.
Xie Yixiao had already given up on the idea of revenge.
Compared to the envy of the others, Linfeng's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, he could feel a wave of mental energy scanning his body. It even entered his body and reached his Sea of Soul.
In his Sea of Soul, the King of Nightmares also felt this wave of mental energy. His rotating bloody pupils revealed a trace of fear. His body collapsed like bubbles, merging into the blood around his Sea of Soul and disappearing.
Under this kind of mental energy scanning, Linfeng's body stiffened and he was also a little angry.
This kind of mental energy scanning was extremely impolite. This kind of act of prying into other people's secrets represented provocation and would cause conflict.
Although he was angry, Linfeng didn't show any dissatisfaction.
He didn't dare to show it.
Such an expert could crush him with a wave of his hand.
In front of such an expert, Linfeng didn't have the ability to resist. He didn't even have the qualifications to resist.
Everyone could see that Hong Tao was scanning Linfeng with his mental energy. However, everyone was calm. No one dared to stop him. It was as if it was a matter of course.
"What should we do?"
Bu Zheng was a little anxious.
He knew that Linfeng had a huge secret. If this secret was discovered, even a Transcendent expert would be very interested.
Bu Zheng was deeply afraid that Linfeng's secret would be discovered.
However, no matter how anxious he was, in front of a Transcendent expert, he didn't dare to have any reaction.
Yunkai and the rest were the same. They didn't dare to show any abnormalities.
When Hong Tao scanned Linfeng's Sea of Soul, he was also observing the changes in Linfeng's expression.
As a Transcendent expert, he didn't care about geniuses, even if they were peerless geniuses.
He had seen all kinds of brilliant and shocking geniuses. In the end, only a small portion of them could become Kings. There were even fewer who could become Emperors.
Only by becoming Emperors would he have the qualifications to pay attention to them.
Hong Tao wasn't interested in geniuses.
However, he was a little curious about Linfeng.
Linfeng's growth speed was shockingly fast.
At the age of twenty, he was at the peak of Rank Six. His martial arts talent was monstrous, but it wasn't unique. The level of the soul skill he absorbed was very high, but there were also people who could do it.
However, the level of the Arowana Linfeng absorbed was too low, so it was unbelievable.
It was rumored that cultivating the Dragonfish Transformation was beneficial to the evolution of the Arowana. This seemed to be the reason why Linfeng absorbed the Arowana.
When he scanned it with his mind power, this Arowana was indeed a little special.
However, in the end, it was still a Rank Six Demon Spirit.
He didn't care about this.
What he cared about was Linfeng's battle results in the Imperial Jade Seal's spatial door.
Hai Wei was the grandson of the Dragon King and was recognized as an invincible Rank Six Genius. However, he was still killed by Linfeng.
At that time, Linfeng had just broken through to Rank Six Realm.
Even he was surprised by this battle result.
The invincible Dragon King was someone he was afraid of. He had almost died in the hands of the Dragon King.
One of his good friends was killed by the Dragon King.
When he heard that Linfeng had killed Hai Wei, other than being surprised, he also felt relieved.
At the same time, he was curious to see what was different about Linfeng.
Was there a secret?
Perhaps he didn't find anything unusual. Hong Tao's mind power scanned Linfeng for a while before it finally retreated.
"This Arowana that you've refined is quite interesting."
Hong Tao said.
Linfeng didn't reply. He only bowed slightly to show respect.
This was respect for an Emperor.
Although Hong Tao's actions were unfriendly, as an Emperor, his status was worthy of respect.
If it weren't for these powerhouses guarding the spatial door, the Mutated Tribes might invade and the base city might cease to exist.
Of course, although he was showing respect, Linfeng didn't let his guard down.
A person who sealed a Heaven Ranking Demon Spirit into the body of a clansman was not a kind person.
That Spiritualist was more or less related to him by blood.
In the eyes of such a powerhouse, a person's life was not worth mentioning in the face of benefits and the big picture. Emotions might be cheap.
If the existence of the Nightmare Lord was exposed, then Lu Yin could only be sacrificed, just like that Spiritualist.
"Linfeng, do you know how famous you are on the Shenwu Continent?"
Hong Tao asked with a hint of a smile in his voice.
"I don't know."
Linfeng shook his head. Although he tried his best to appear calm, his tone was somewhat flustered, as if he was forcing himself to remain calm.
However, this wasn't strange to him.
It wasn't easy for someone to remain so calm in the face of a Transcendent.
Some people wouldn't even be able to speak in front of a Transcendent.
"Then, do you know that the fusion of the spatial door has a lot to do with you and the other six people?"
Hong Tao continued to ask.
Many people's expressions changed when they heard this.
Yunkai and the others were clearly anxious, as these words seemed to be blaming them.
The fusion of the spatial door had a huge impact, as it represented the Mutated Tribes' probing before their invasion.
No one could bear this responsibility.
"I'm not too sure. In my opinion, I'm not that important."
Linfeng shook his head again, but a smile gradually appeared on his face. "If that's really the case, then I'm honored!"
Honored!
Many people looked at Linfeng in shock.
How could he be honored?
However, some of the more important people were much calmer.
Hong Tao looked at Linfeng quietly. With his dark skin and square face, he looked like a farmer who had been farming all year round. He gave off an amiable aura, but his current solemn expression made it difficult for others to breathe.
This was the double deterrence of his status and strength.
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, and just when some people thought that Linfeng was done for, Hong Tao suddenly laughed.
"You should be honored. Although you've caused the Mutated Tribes' plans to be brought forward, this isn't a bad thing for us."
The Mutated Tribes would invade sooner or later.
According to his estimations, it wouldn't take more than fifteen years.
For a powerhouse like Hong Tao, it didn't make much of a difference whether it happened ten years earlier or later.
The fact that the Mutated Tribes forced the Spatial Gate to merge proved that the loss of the Imperial Jade Seal's Spatial Gate was very painful for them.
It might not be obvious now, but ten years later, the difference would be obvious.
Therefore, they began to panic.
After asking a few simple questions, Hong Tao ignored Linfeng.
Linfeng also slowly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
At this time, the spirit energy tide had ended, and many people had left, but there were also some who stayed.
Among them, Linfeng and his group were included.
At this time, Linfeng looked at the Spatial Gate that was getting bigger and bigger, and his eyes flashed.
He wanted to fight for this key.
This was the only eleven-star key in the world.
Other than the preciousness of the key, he couldn't let the Spatial Gate merge.
Although the difficulty of obtaining this key was very high, and it might be very bloody, he wasn't afraid of anyone at the same level.
However, it was very difficult for one person to fight for the key.
Linfeng looked at the members of the Avengers Alliance. They seemed to have guessed Linfeng's thoughts, and each of them had different expressions.
Dong Xiaomei and Yue Mingming were clearly a little afraid.
Zhan Tianyu, Yang Ningbing, Huang Tianze, and Ye Qiu were a little hesitant. Yu Qiao seemed to be a little interested. He was hesitant and eager to try.
Only Yunkai was calm. He looked at Linfeng, clenched his fist, and said:
"Life and death are insignificant. If you're not convinced, do it!"
