After Lin Feng left, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive and dull.
Once upon a time, they, who were high and mighty, were ignored like this.
And they were ignored by a teenager who was in his third year of high school!
As the head of one of the top ten clubs in the Glory of Glory, even a Rank-9 powerhouse who was far stronger than them had to maintain basic courtesy in the face of the club's deterrence and strength.
Those young geniuses who hoped to enter the club were even more uneasy in front of them and tried to curry favor with them.
"Is he bluffing?" After a moment of silence, Old Jiang was the first to break the silence.
Old Jiang was 91 years old and a Rank-5 martial artist. He refined a Rank-7 double-winged flying scorpion. Although his strength was not very strong, as an experienced person, he could feel that Lin Feng seemed to be carefully hiding something.
Some of the talented youths, even Ye Qiu, when faced with his invitation, no matter how calm their expressions were or how well they hid it, he could still see their eagerness and excitement from their facial expressions or the small movements of their bodies.
But only Lin Feng did not.
That pair of dark and deep eyes were calm from beginning to end, even showing that he did not care at all.
Did he really not want to join?
Or did he have absolute confidence in his own talent and was waiting for the best offer?
"Very likely!" Zhang Ling agreed.
Lin Feng's behavior of turning around and leaving naturally made people angry, but it was this extremely arrogant attitude that made her somewhat unable to understand.
Soul cultivation talent could not be tested with special equipment after all, Mentality was invisible. Only the person who refined the demon spirit knew, so Zhang Ling could not be sure that Lin Feng was lying.
Moreover, Lin Feng did not seem to have the need to lie.
This kind of lie could not stand the test of time. Was he really just lying for an advertising spot?
Lin Feng was just a student. Even if he lived in the shore district, there should not be many places where he needed to spend money, right?
Now Lin Feng had a lot of attention, but that was only temporary. It was far from being comparable to those stars in the Glory of Glory.
Therefore, his advertising spot was not worth much. In Zhang Ling's estimation, it was at most a few million.
With Lin Feng's martial arts talent, it would not be difficult for him to earn money when he became a martial artist.
However, Zhang Ling did not voice her doubts directly.
"This old man is very sly. He might have said that on purpose, but he is actually secretly preparing to observe." Zhang Ling sized up Old Man Jiang and thought to herself.
Jiang Jun had the same thoughts as Zhang Ling. Compared to the others, he was more anxious about Linfeng.
He was prepared to contact Lin Feng in private to test him out. If possible, he would first use an A-grade contract to tie Lin Feng to Zhanfeng's war chariot.
"Lin Feng …"
Not far from the tea room, some merchants who had been waiting for a long time came up to Lin Feng to talk.
However, when they found out that Lin Feng did not sign a contract with the three major clubs, their originally enthusiastic smiles fell slightly. Some even sneered and turned to leave.
From their point of view, the fact that the three major clubs had chosen not to sign a contract proved that Linfeng had no value in signing a contract.
There were many people waiting and they left quickly. However, there was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties who did not leave. She expressed her interest in Lin Feng's advertising space.
"Lin Feng, our company would like to get your advertising space. How much would it cost?" the middle-aged woman asked.
She did not mention the name of her company or what product she would endorse. Lin Feng did not ask either. As long as there was money, he would endorse anything.
"$18 million!"
Hearing Lin Feng's price, the middle-aged woman was slightly stunned. She then looked at Lin Feng as if she was looking at an idiot. After a while, she smiled and said, "$800,000!"
Lin Feng did not even look at her and left immediately.
She wanted to buy his advertising space with just $800,000. How naive.
One must know that with the popularity of the Martial Artist Forum, hundreds of people would know about his advertisements as long as he endorsed them.
Lin Feng estimated that it would cost at least $8 million.
"Ridiculous!"
The middle-aged woman sneered and did not stop him.
If Lin Feng was signed by the three major clubs, then he would naturally be worth $18 million, or even more. On the contrary, she felt that $800,000 was too high.
Although the Martial Artist Forum was very popular, everyone knew that this popularity was only temporary. After being rejected by the three major clubs, the post would soon be removed from the ranking board. In other words, Lin Feng would soon lose his value.
The reason why she offered $800,000 was because she wanted to hype up Lin Feng while he was still popular.
In the hall of the Martial Arts Dojo, Lin Feng quickly found Gao Hai and Chen Fan. When they first met, the two of them had a doubtful look on their faces. Obviously, they already knew that Lin Feng did not sign with the three major clubs.
"Feng, why?"
Gao Hai saw that there was no one around and asked in a low voice.
In his opinion, Lin Feng's martial arts talent was outstanding. His combat talent was unparalleled, and he could even refine a demon spirit on the Earth Ranking. Wouldn't signing with the three major clubs be a cinch?
Furthermore, it would be an S rank contract, with a salary of at least a hundred million New Dollars a year.
When Lin Feng, Old Jiang and the rest left, Gao Hai and Yang Fan even thought about how to celebrate Lin Feng after signing the contract.
"They want me to refine the demon spirit before signing the contract. Otherwise, they won't give me the contract," Lin Feng explained to Gao Hai.
"Then wouldn't the refining be done?" Gao Hai asked, puzzled.
"That's indeed the case. However, the Earth Ranking demon spirit they provided is too low grade."
Compared to Gao Hai's cautious appearance, Lin Feng did not hide anything and loudly said.
Earth Ranking demon spirit is too low grade?
Why does this sound so weird?
Originally, there were already a lot of people paying attention to Lin Feng. For the three major clubs to reject the contract, in the eyes of the majority, it was because Lin Feng had no value.
If Lin Feng could really refine a high grade demon spirit, how could the three major clubs let him go?
Therefore, when Lin Feng's words came out, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
They only knew that Lin Feng did not sign a contract with the three major clubs. Naturally, they thought that Lin Feng wasn't chosen.
Now, it seems that there's more to this matter.
According to Lin Feng's words, it wasn't the three major clubs that rejected Lin Feng. On the contrary, it was Lin Feng that rejected the three major clubs.
"Feng, what demon spirit did they provide?" Yang Fan asked tacitly.
Lin Feng's expression was somewhat disdainful, "I have a Water Attribute Physique. Leiting provided the 177th ranked Ice Duck. Its combat strength is alright, but its innate ability isn't suitable for me. Juling Star provided the 196th ranked Cloud Stepping Beast. However, its level is too low."
"Level is too low? It can't be, right? This Lin Feng is too arrogant."
"This is the first time I've heard someone say that an Earth Ranking demon spirit's level is too low."
"Does he really think that he's Ye Qiu?"
Just like Old Jiang and the rest, those who heard this were first shocked, then doubtful.
They couldn't help but doubt. Earth Ranking demon spirit?
Among the hundreds of thousands of young men and women in Rivertown, only Ye Qiu managed to refine an Earth Ranking demon spirit.
A one in a hundred thousand genius.
And now, Lin Feng actually didn't even fancy an Earth Ranking demon spirit. How could they be convinced by this?
They looked at Lin Feng with a trace of doubt and disdain.
"This Lin Feng is probably a swindler. He's just selling advertising spots to attract attention."
"If he's really talented, he can refine the Cloud Stepping Beast first. After all, the college entrance exam is coming soon. Refining an Earth Ranking demon spirit can give him an additional fifty points!"
"So what if he's a martial arts genius? Without the talent for Soul Cultivation, he still can't become an expert."
"Whoever looks for him to endorse is a fool."
"Let's just let him perform by himself!"
Everyone was discussing. At this moment, they were looking at Lin Feng as if they were looking at a swindler.
"Feng …"
Gao Hai was a little uneasy. He couldn't imagine how Lin Feng, who was a peerless genius not long ago, would suddenly become a swindler.
Other than Gao Hai, who believed in Lin Feng without any reservations, even Yang Fan was a little doubtful. He had the same thoughts as everyone else.
Giving up on the Earth Ranking's Cloud Stepping Beast?
Why does it sound so unreal?
"Hehe."
Lin Feng smiled casually, as if he was mocking the ignorant crowd.
Although he didn't seem to care, Lin Feng was bitterly smiling in his heart.
The development of the situation was different from what he had expected. In fact, it was completely different.
He came to the Thunder Martial Dojo to earn advertising fees. Therefore, he needed attention.
Lin Feng purposely used titles like "High School Student Beating Martial Artist" and "Looking for Advertising Spots" to attract people's attention. The effect was just as he had expected, quickly attracting some attention.
After that, the post about him on the Martial Artist Forum unexpectedly became popular. It even soared to the top of the Daily Rankings overnight. There was a saying, "Ye Qiu in the South, Lin Feng in the North." This was beyond Lin Feng's expectations.
In Lin Feng's expectation, his advertising spots were only going to be sold for a few hundred thousand. He would be satisfied with a million.
With a million, he could post missions in the Martial Arts Dojo, asking some martial artists to help him capture the Purple-Winged Spirit Worm in the Alternate World. Then, he would announce the special effects of the Purple-Winged Spirit Worm on the Martial Artist Forum …
By then, he would have money to buy pills to refine the Nightmare!
This was his original plan.
However, Lin Feng didn't expect the popularity of the post to be beyond his control.
Therefore, he changed his strategy directly. With this popularity, he was ready to sell the advertising spots for more than ten million. He would get it done in one step and save himself the trouble.
Moreover, he could use this to tell everyone about his talent directly, so that he wouldn't arouse suspicion if he cultivated too quickly in the future.
Lin Feng knew that he would attract the attention of some clubs, but he didn't have any plans to join them.
This was because he had very little soul power. After refining the Nightmare, even if he had the ability to refine other demon spirits, their ranks wouldn't be very high.
However, he couldn't directly reject Old Jiang and the others. He could only deliberately choose some rare demon spirits to reject.
The plan seemed to be very thorough!
The desired effect had been achieved!
However, Lin Feng couldn't have guessed that because he rejected the three major clubs, he would be questioned by everyone.
Facing everyone's gaze and doubts, Lin Feng remained calm and said, "Ye Qiu has the confidence to reject, so why can't I, Lin Feng, refuse?!"
These words were obviously putting himself on the same level as Ye Qiu.
However, the audience didn't buy it. In their opinion, Lin Feng was just a bluffing swindler.
Ignoring the crowd's discussion, Lin Feng prepared to leave the Martial Arts Dojo with Gao Hai and Ye Qiu.
In the crowd, the restaurant owner, Zhou Fu, who had been observing Lin Feng, followed closely behind.
