Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 773 - 581: Arrogance and Audacity

At the moment Bing turned away, the sudden appearance of Lin Feng surprised everyone, leaving them puzzled about his intentions.Even if it’s self-promotion, there’s no need to be so hasty, right?

What he said afterward was even more shocking.

Previously, when students presented themselves on stage, even if they were Kings, they could only leave dejected when faced with indifferent mentors, not daring to say a word.

Personal relationships?

Would the high-and-mighty mentors care about your personal relationships?

The thought was laughable.

What right does a student have to discuss personal relationships with a mentor, let alone someone as powerful as the Spirit King, whose combat strength rivals that of an Emperor?

"Isn’t Lin Feng being too arrogant?"

"Feels like he’s gone mad."

"He’s always been quite brazen, but I never thought he’d be this audacious."

"Could it be that he’s broken through to King Level?"

"A 21-year-old King, have you ever heard of one?"

Although there were many skeptics, few mocked him.

If any other student had said this, even the number one talent, Yun Kai, it would have invited ridicule.

But since Lin Feng said it, and in the name of the Avengers Alliance, one couldn’t help but consider the weight of his words.

The battle achievements of the Avengers Alliance are well-known.

In terms of achievements within the Other-dimensional Space Gate, few forces can compare.

Because of the Avengers Alliance, the talents among Abnormal People within Hua Country’s Other-dimensional Space Gates have significantly decreased, and compared to before, they have been very subdued.

The previous dismissal and disregard were just because they were too young. No matter how extraordinary their talents, their strength was still weak, and at this stage, they couldn’t play much of a role.

But now, their strength seems to have all reached the Ninth Grade, each possessing the potential of becoming Kings.

Seventeen Kings are not to be ignored, even by an Emperor.

The mentors had varied expressions, some disdainful, some indifferent, and many were moved.

"The value of this personal favor is significant. If it were me, I would agree,"

Zuo Ziyu said to Shou’Er.

As the mentor of Yun Kai, and being from Hua Country himself, he had a favorable impression of the Avengers Alliance.

"They are quite united," Shou’Er said in slight surprise.

He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to stand up for Bing.

Bing’s talent indeed tempted him, making him the most suitable student.

If it weren’t for his Half-human identity, he would have been willing to offer even three invitation cards.

Just as students seek good mentors, mentors seek good students.

The reason he hesitated to offer an invitation card was his belief that Bing wouldn’t be able to grow.

With society’s increasing animosity towards Abnormal People and war looming, it’s not easy for a Half-human to rise.

As for Bing being part of the Avengers Alliance, Shou’Er originally didn’t value or care.

The boundless potential of the Avengers Alliance is undeniable.

However, with seventeen members from different families, in the future, they might choose to leave because of different cities or starting families and businesses.

There might also arise conflicts or differences in ideals leading them to part ways, or even become enemies.

Such examples are quite common.

The cohesion of a force is sometimes more daunting than the number and strength of its members.

Furthermore, in Shou’Er’s view, Lin Feng and his group wouldn’t value Bing too much or be too close to him.

Bing was able to join the Avengers Alliance simply because he is a perfect Support.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Lin Feng and the others greatly value Bing.

They were even willing to make a promise in the name of the Alliance.

Shou’Er’s gaze swept over Yun Kai and the others. It wasn’t just Lin Feng; the expressions of the other teammates were also calm, clearly having no objections to this.

This was something everyone recognized.

Having confirmed Bing’s importance in the Alliance, Shou’Er had made a decision in his heart.

As to whether this personal favor is worth it, he didn’t care.

An invitation card that held no significance to him, exchanged for personal favor, certainly wouldn’t be a loss.

He also wasn’t worried about whether Lin Feng and the others would renege on their promise in the future.

The Avengers Alliance, with such a glorious track record, could guarantee its promises.

Besides, he wasn’t someone to be trifled with either.

Shou’Er’s gaze returned to Lin Feng. Although it was their first meeting, he had seen news about Lin Feng many times.

Lin Feng’s confidence surprised him. Even when their eyes met, Lin Feng didn’t waver. His gaze was respectful but without fear or confusion.

"Alright."

Shou’Er replied with a wave of his hand, and a purple invitation card appeared in front of Bing.

Bing hesitated for two or three seconds before reaching out to take the invitation card.

With his right hand gripping the invitation card, he found he wasn’t as happy as he imagined.

"Brother Feng, thank you."

Bing said softly to Lin Feng.

Compared to obtaining the invitation card, he was more grateful that Lin Feng was willing to stand up for him.

"You’re family, no need to thank me. You saved my life!"

Lin Feng said nonchalantly.

Under the gaze of the students, the two of them jumped off the Golden Stage and returned to the team.

"Congratulations, Bing!"

Faced with his teammates’ congratulations, Bing gave a somewhat awkward smile.

He wanted to be like Yun Kai, earn the mentor’s recognition, and receive an invitation card, but he failed.

This time, for his own successful mentorship, the Alliance had even offered a personal favor, which made Bing feel a bit disappointed, with not much excitement or joy.

"Thank you everyone, thank you."

Bing kept saying thank you, looking a bit insincere.

Seeing Bing’s dejected and uncomfortable mood, no one comforted him, and quickly changed the subject.

"Now we already have two invitation cards. Although it’s not much, it’s a good start." Lin Feng said.

"Yes!"

Ye Xing agreed, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Obtaining an invitation card is not that easy, especially for an Emperor-level tutor’s invitation card. I was confident before, but I didn’t expect to be slapped in the face."

He said this partly to comfort Bing.

"Haha, me too."

Yun Tianqi also said in self-deprecation.

"Getting an invitation card is already impressive. We didn’t dare to go on stage."

Yang Ningbing said.

Under the indirect comfort of everyone, Bing felt a bit better.

He may appear awkward, but he understands that his teammates intentionally comforted him, not wanting him to feel pressured.

During the chatting, half an hour later, no more students went on stage to showcase themselves.

students went on stage for the showcase, and 28 tutors gave out invitation cards.

tutors gave out a total of 37 invitation cards, but only 24 people accepted them.

Which means only 24 people successfully found mentors.

According to the competition rules, after the mentor assessments start, invitation cards not given out automatically become void.

Seeing no students showcasing, the tutors in sequence gave out the remaining invitation cards in their hands.

Invitation cards floated towards the students.

The students who received invitation cards were mostly unsurprised, clearly having received prior notice.

"Quite a few connected individuals."

Dong Yunan whispered, with a tone of envy.

Quickly, her eyes brightened because she saw an invitation card floating towards them, finally appearing in front of Lin Feng.

"Brother Feng, you got an invitation card."

Dong Yunan exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Feng didn’t go on stage to showcase himself, yet received an invitation card. While not unique, it’s very rare.

At this point, out of ten invitation cards sent by tutors, eight were given to connected individuals.

Lin Feng looked up towards tutor Reimer’s direction, slightly bowing to show respect, then directly crushed the card in front of him.

Reimer is an Extraordinary Powerhouse, and her secret skill, "Thunder Rain," is very powerful. If not for Alice, he would have probably chosen her as his mentor.

"Would be nice if it were mine," Yang Ningbing said with a smile.

Her ideal tutor is Reimer.

"This is too arrogant, what level is Lin Feng’s power?"

"Isn’t Lin Feng’s attribute Thunder? How could he even reject Reimer?"

Many students exclaimed in surprise.

Among 37 tutors, only three use Thunder Techniques, and Reimer’s prowess is acknowledged as the best.

She is the dream mentor for many Thunder attribute students.

While they envied and resented him, they never expected Lin Feng to directly crush the card.

Not only were the students surprised, but Reimer was also taken aback, a flash of surprise in her eyes, then she shook her head with a smile.

"Here it comes again."

Dong Yunan exclaimed again, another card appeared in front of Lin Feng.

This invitation card came from Xilan, also an Extraordinary Powerhouse, and her previously displayed secret skill is called "Rain Realm."

She is also a top choice for many Water attribute students.

"Damn it, two Emperors issued him invitation cards, why don’t I have such luck."

"Now Lin Feng surely won’t refuse."

All gazes were on Lin Feng, but just as before, Lin Feng slightly bowed towards Xilan’s direction, then crushed the card.

Xilan had no reaction to this either.

The mentor competition is a two-way selection, even if they think a student is ungrateful or are dissatisfied, a tutor won’t easily show it.

Of course, most tutors aren’t that petty, being rejected just means there’s no fit, it doesn’t imply anything else.

Simultaneously rejecting two Extraordinary Tutors, Lin Feng’s actions shocked everyone.

After this, Lin Feng received no more invitation cards, even though some Emperor-level tutors were interested in him, they knew the prospects were slim.

And those not at the Emperor level didn’t want to make a fool of themselves.

"Wow, here comes another one."

Lin Feng received two invitation cards, and He Jun did the same, one from the Extraordinary, and one from an upper-rank Spirit King.

"Brother Feng."

He Jun looked at the two invitation cards in front of her, not only shocked but also a little at a loss, not knowing what to do.

She didn’t have an ideal mentor, nor did she know how to reject a tutor’s invitation.

"Bow and then crush it," Lin Feng said.

For the Avengers Alliance, He Jun is very important, to ensure her safety, so Lin Feng planned to have her follow him to find a mentor.

Two major tutors willing to send an invitation card obviously means an interest in He Jun’s Demon Spirit, or in this method of quickly enhancing power.

"Okay."

He Jun mimicked Lin Feng’s earlier bow, not daring to raise her head, her right hand trembling as she took the card and crushed it.

"Here it comes again."

Dong Yunan exclaimed once more.

Another invitation card floated towards their direction, this time landing in front of Ye Qiu, it came from the Extraordinary Tutor Ludy.

Ye Qiu took the invitation card, put it in his pocket, he didn’t have a favorite tutor, Ludy’s power is strong, he had no reason to refuse.

As the last card was delivered, the student showcase segment concluded.
