Ah Bing could clearly feel that the attitude of the people around him was changing.
The disgust and hostility did not disappear. They were still there, but they were much more restrained. They were not as brazen and unrestrained as before.
The people who had provoked him previously had complicated expressions. When they saw his gaze, they even subconsciously avoided it.
Many people were looking at him enviously.
As a Mutant, Ah Bing had been disliked and discriminated against since he was young. This was the first time he was envied. This made him feel complicated.
It also made him glad that he had persevered. He was glad that he could join Lin Feng's team.
After joining Lin Feng's team, everything seemed to have changed.
"Welcome."
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Yunkai nodded at Ah Bing, expressing his goodwill.
The similar experience made him sympathize with Ah Bing.
Lin Feng looked at Yunkai's tall back and smiled.
In two years, Yunkai was no longer the Beastman that everyone hated. Now, he was the country's most beloved genius.
His fans spanned age and gender. His popularity was even higher than Ye Qiu's.
Two years ago, Lin Feng was still worried when he decided to tell Yunkai what Atavism was.
At that time, Yunkai had low self-esteem and was timid. He did not dare to resist when bullied. He was wary of everyone and did not even dare to accept his goodwill.
Yunkai, who had low self-esteem, had a hidden hatred in his eyes.
Lin Feng did not know what would happen to Yunkai, who had been discriminated against and bullied, after rising from hell to heaven.
Would this change be good or bad?
Would it affect the others?
One had to know that Yun Kai had the talent of Atavism Demonification. This talent would display terrifying power as his strength increased.
Lin Feng was comforted by the fact that Yunkai was still the same. Other than being more confident, nothing else had changed.
When He Jun was doubted when she joined the team, Yunkai was the first to express goodwill.
His kindness and recognition made He Jun less nervous, and it also made her teammates accept her more quickly.
Every member of the Avengers was a super genius. Geniuses were all proud and would not submit to others easily.
Even if they lived together day and night, even if they signed a contract, there would still be conflicts.
Every time a conflict broke out, Yunkai would immediately step forward to stop it.
It was because of Yunkai's existence that the Alliance was so harmonious.
He Jun was like this.
It was the same for Ah Bing.
Yunkai looked rough and quiet, but his mind was extremely sensitive and gentle.
In the Alliance, he was also the most popular.
Because of his good relations with others, Yunkai had been injured by Xie Yixiao during the Rookie Challenge. That was why his teammates were so angry.
"Hello, Yunkai!"
Even though his ability was very special, it was still incomparable to Yunkai's Atavistic Demon Transformation.
"Hello, Ah Bing. My name is Dong Yunan. Everyone calls me Dong Xiaomei."
Dong Yunan was the second to greet him.
After Yunkai and Dong Yunan, Ye Qiu and the others also greeted Ah Bing, welcoming the new member.
Because they were Inhumans, they were not very friendly, but they were not cold either.
Since Linfeng had decided to let Ah Bing join, Ah Bing would also sign a contract. In the future, they would be teammates who would live and die together.
Naturally, there was no need to treat teammates coldly.
Ah Bing nodded. Most of the worry in his heart had disappeared. He was already very satisfied that his future teammates accepted him. He even felt a sense of happiness.
This was a sense of happiness that was acknowledged.
"Ah Bing, what's your real name?" Dong Yunan asked casually.
"My name is Ah Bing," Ah Bing said.
"I'm talking about your real name!"
Ah Bing said, "That's my real name."
Dong Yunan was slightly stunned. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes. Surname Ah?
Such a strange surname?
But very quickly, she reacted and hurriedly put away her puzzled expression.
The majority of Inhumans were orphans. It wasn't because they didn't have parents, but because their parents had abandoned them. Some Inhumans didn't even have a surname.
Even their names were given by themselves.
Dong Yunan knew that she had asked the wrong question. The atmosphere was a little awkward. She immediately changed the topic, "Did you refine the Blood Grass Doll?"
This question had attracted everyone's attention.
Linfeng was no exception. He was also curious.
As an Earth Ranking demon spirit, the Blood Grass Doll's innate ability was Star Shift. Its effect was to transfer damage. However, Ah Bing did not use his demon transformation earlier.
"No, I did not refine the Blood Grass Doll. Its ability isn't Star Shift, but it's similar. It should be considered as my innate ability."
Ah Bing lightly shook his head. His tone was a little strange.
He did not know who his father was, nor did he want to know.
Although he was abandoned, Ah Bing knew his mother's identity.
His mother was only a Martialist. Her strength wasn't strong. She was only a Skysoar Martialist and did not have any innate ability.
What he inherited was the innate ability of his father from a foreign race. This ability was very powerful, but Ah Bing hated it.
This innate ability was constantly reminding him of his identity and bloodline.
However, he couldn't give up on this ability.
Because this was his only chance to change his fate.
"How old are you?!"
The two questions made the atmosphere awkward. Dong Yunan smiled even more awkwardly and could only change the topic.
"Twenty years old!"
"That's the same age as me."
Dong Yunan continued asking, "Which month?"
"September!"
"That's younger than me. The same month as Ye Qiu."
Ah Bing nodded his head. He did not know what to say.
Fortunately, Dong Yunan had been asking questions, so he only needed to answer.
As they chatted, his nervousness eased a little. His right hand was holding onto the red scarf that had fallen on the ground. At this moment, he had tied it on his forehead, covering the broken horn in the middle of his forehead.
Everyone subconsciously shifted their gazes.
"Since you've joined the team, you're one of us. From this moment onwards, you're safe. It's fine if you don't want to wear it."
Lin Feng said to Ah Bing.
He could understand Ah Bing's vigilance.
An orphan who was abandoned by his parents since he was young, facing the threat of death at all times, no amount of vigilance would be too much.
"Thank you, it's fine. I'm used to it."
Ah Bing sincerely thanked him.
He did not like being stared at by others. Wearing the red scarf, he felt safer.
Lin Feng did not say much. Everyone had their own habits. Since Ah Bing had joined the Avengers, he had the responsibility to protect his safety.
"Have you refined a demon spirit?" Lin Feng asked.
"Yes, a rank 8 Dark Demon Lion."
Ah Bing said. His tone revealed a trace of inferiority.
A rank 8 demon spirit was a high level demon spirit. Its rank wasn't low and could be considered as having outstanding talent.
However, in Lin Feng's team, a demon spirit of this rank was nothing special. It could only be compared to Dong Yunan.
However, the Siren Woman that Dong Yunan refined was a healing-type demon spirit. The two of them could not be compared.
"Your bloodline ability has no connection with the Dark Demon Lion, so it won't be of any help. In the future, I will find a suitable demon spirit for you to replace it." Lin Feng said.
Ah Bing's bloodline ability was very powerful. If he could find the Blood Grass Doll and refine it, his bloodline ability would be perfectly displayed.
"Thank you."
Ah Bing lowered his head and thanked him.
Other than thanking him, he didn't know what else to say.
When the surrounding people heard Lin Feng's words, they became even more envious.
Being able to replace a demon spirit as soon as he joined the team. Although they didn't know what rank the demon spirit was, to be able to catch Lin Feng's eye, it would at least be a rank 9 demon spirit.
If it wasn't a rank 9 demon spirit, there would be no need to replace it.
Replacing a demon spirit and re-nurturing it requires a large amount of time and resources.
The rest of the journey was very smooth. Lin Feng's team hunted demon beasts as they rushed towards the mining area.
Three hours later, they arrived at the mining area.
The foreign races had retreated. The originally heavily guarded mining area was now empty.
Some buildings, houses, and mining facilities were also destroyed.
After arriving at the mining area, they had to guard the mine for half a month.
During this period, no one disturbed them, so the mining went smoothly.
Half a month later, Lin Feng's team walked out of the mining area and sealed the next Spatial Gate.
In half a year's time, Lin Feng's team had been shuttling through various Spatial Gateways. They had sealed 79 Spatial Gateways, all of which were 7-star and 8-star Spatial Gateways. The number of people assisting others in refining demon spirits had already exceeded 1500.
During this period, they didn't encounter any obstacles. It was so smooth that Lin Feng's team was very disappointed.
Very disappointed.
After leaving the Maple Forest, aside from He Jun, the strength of the alliance members had already reached the 8th grade. Without sacrificing any foreign race experts, they only relied on hunting demon beasts. Their strength increase was very slow, which was a huge difference from their previous speed.
Fortunately, after sealing the Spatial Gates, they didn't lack money.
All the money was exchanged for resources. With the help of a large amount of resources, they made up for the lack of cultivation speed.
Money came easily, and they didn't feel any heartache when spending it. Everyone was preparing for the King Ascension Plan.
Just as Lin Feng's team was sealing the Spatial Gates, the hype for the King Ascension Plan intensified. The eyes of the world were focused on this unprecedented event.
The scale of this event was even grander than the Battle of Glory.
The Professional Alliance, which was originally in turmoil, gradually regained its vitality.
Active and retired Professional Alliance members, as well as All-Star Alliance members, once again became the focus of attention.
Ever since the first Spatial Gate was sealed, Lin Feng's team rarely appeared in public.
Although their battle record was brilliant, they weren't the focus of attention.
In the eyes of the fans, this event had nothing to do with them.
