Merging with Demon Spirits
Chapter 657 - 480: Not Stirring Up Trouble!
When Lin Feng’s team appeared on the light curtain, it instantly captured everyone’s attention.
This was undoubtedly the biggest surprise of the night.
Cheers and screams erupted like an avalanche, welcoming Lin Feng’s team by the audience.
Their achievements deserved such applause.
Even though 99% of the audience believed Lin Feng’s team had no chance of getting the student slots, it didn’t stop them from cheering for the team.
It didn’t stop them from liking Lin Feng’s team.
They were a group of super geniuses who refined the Earth Chart demon spirits and had a glorious record but were younger in age, unable to compete with the former professional players. Otherwise, they would surely be on the popularity rankings, and ranked near the top.
And Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing were already All-Stars with high popularity. If the King Becoming plan didn’t require strength, solely based on popularity, the two would definitely be in the top ten, with Ye Xing possibly in the top three.
"They’re really here."
"Are they really going to stir things up? A direct challenge?"
"Do you really think the people on the popularity rankings only have popularity! The strongest in Lin Feng’s team are probably Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing, right? How could they be a match?"
"Start quickly, I can’t stand it anymore."
The audience loudly discussed, visibly excited.
The ones to stir things up have arrived!
No need to say it out loud, just looking at Lin Feng’s team in their unified pure black battle robes says it all.
If they weren’t here to stir things up, why be so formal?
Stirring things up is way more entertaining than a challenge match!
Originally thought the night would end like this, who knew there was an easter egg.
And a huge one at that.
At this moment, no one paid attention to the challenges anymore, even the two battling on stage paused their fight, temporarily stopping.
They had no choice but to pause.
Because the audience’s attention wasn’t on them anymore, what’s the point of fighting?
Not only the audience but even they were curious about what Lin Feng’s team was up to?
Looking up at the clock.
Countdown: 00.55.12.
Only 55 minutes left.
What tricks can be pulled in such a short time?
Aside from a challenge, they couldn’t think of what Lin Feng’s team could do.
Challenging people lower on the popularity rankings wouldn’t be effective!
Even if they could get votes, it would surely be limited.
For a challenge, they could only challenge the top 34 on the popularity rankings.
Two-thirds of those are former All-Star players, with strength at the peak of Ninth Grade, just a step away from becoming a King, not merely characters with popularity and no strength.
Not exaggerating to say, most Martial Kings are not a match for these people.
Everyone shared this doubt, so while cheering, they stared directly at Lin Feng’s team.
Among them, Lin Feng was the main focus.
The first and center position!
Who is the leader, who is the boss still need to be said?
Didn’t you see Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi standing behind him?
Due to the arrival of Lin Feng’s team, the event had stalled.
Lin Feng’s team slowly made their way towards the stage, countless eyes following them.
At this moment, they undoubtedly became the focus of the event.
Martial Artist Forum.
Lin Feng, Yun Tianqi, and Ye Xing’s popularity votes were skyrocketing.
In just a few minutes, their votes broke through a hundred thousand, one hundred fifty thousand, even two hundred thousand, and were still climbing, though the speed began to slow.
Their presence here was enough to prove Lin Feng and the others were serious, not just a joke.
They effortlessly became the center of attention.
But turning this attention into a million votes wasn’t so easy.
And a million votes only let them enter the top 100 of the popularity rankings.
To earn a student slot, they had to make it into the top 34.
Currently, the 34th spot on the rankings was Yi Chao, with 3.13 million votes.
At this time, among Lin Feng’s three, Ye Xing had the highest votes, at two hundred thirty thousand.
Which meant within fifty minutes, he needed almost three million more votes to rank 34 and possibly earn the slot.
How is that possible in such a short time?
Even if Ye Xing succeeded in a challenge, it’d likely still be difficult to achieve.
Moreover, with only tens of minutes left until the deadline, and battles still ongoing on-site, temporarily cutting in line didn’t seem easy.
Plus, the challenge time was too short, not allowing for multiple challenges.
"They really came."
Seeing Lin Feng’s team appear, Zhao Zhou’s expression slightly changed, obviously surprised, but he quickly regained composure, smiling as he spoke.
At this time, he was ranked eleventh on the popularity rankings, already holding a winning hand, Lin Feng’s team coming had no impact on his chance of getting a slot.
He didn’t even need to attend this event today.
Although it affected the slot, if Lin Feng’s team got the slot, it would affect him.
His long-standing feud with Yun Tianqi was well-known, unresolved. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
If Lin Feng’s trio could earn the slot, it would definitely do him no good, only harm.
He’d teased and mocked why Lin Feng’s team hadn’t come earlier?
But when Lin Feng’s team truly arrived, for some reason, he suddenly felt a bit nervous internally.
Although he didn’t think Lin Feng’s team could earn the slot.
But if they can’t get the slots, why are Lin Feng’s team here?
What are they here to join in on?
"To see how they stir things up?"
Zhang Junhao said with a smile, although his tone was somewhat cold.
Zhou Shengkai is his man.
In the King Becoming Plan, they are sure to collaborate.
Naturally, he hopes Zhou Shengkai gets the slots.
At this moment, Zhou Shengkai is ranked 33rd in the popularity ranking. If an unexpected event happens, he would be directly kicked out, and the effort of the past half-year would be in vain.
He, like Zhao Zhou, does not want Lin Feng’s team to get the slots.
Now with Lin Feng’s team arriving, the few ranked lower in popularity are visibly a bit nervous.
Although they don’t think Lin Feng’s team is stronger than them, what if?
What if it really happens?
There are many who don’t wish for Lin Feng’s team to get the slots, even if some among them greatly admire Lin Feng’s team.
But admiration is just admiration.
The members of Lin Feng’s team are all very young. If they get the slots, to some extent it would mean these others are nothing special.
Of course, there are also those who hope Lin Feng’s team gets the slots.
Among them is Jing Feiyang, who ranks first in the popularity ranking.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Feng’s team arrived beneath the floating stage. With a tap of his toes, Lin Feng’s figure floated onto the center of the stage like drifting willow catkins.
The others followed closely, leaping onto the stage and standing behind Lin Feng.
No one stopped them.
And there was no need to stop them.
On the contrary, everyone was eager to see how Lin Feng’s team would stir things up.
Who would they challenge?
"Interesting."
The unified uniforms and the confidence granted by strength and achievements gave Lin Feng’s team an imposing aura, causing quite a few to change their expressions.
Strength can be hidden.
An aura can sometimes reflect strength.
The aura of Lin Feng’s team is chilling. Is this really a team without a single King?
"Welcome Lin Feng’s team, where are the cheers?"
The host, realizing the moment, exclaimed loudly to the audience.
The originally quiet cheer and screams resounded once more.
What is it like when two hundred thousand spectators cheer together?
"This scene is huge!"
Behind Lin Feng, Dong Yunan’s face flushed slightly, she whispered.
She’s no stranger to grand scenes.
Back at the national college glory league, and the rookie challenges were all grand events.
The number of spectators was not much less than today.
Yet even so, faced with the tsunami-like cheers, it still made her shiver all over.
"Stay calm, stay calm, this is just the beginning, you’ll slowly get used to it,"
Yu Qiao said with a smile.
Indeed, after today, they would be the focus of the world’s discussions.
After the cheers subsided, the host, without unnecessary words, knew time was of the essence and directly asked: "So, are you here to stir things up?"
With this question, bursts of laughter roared like thunderclaps.
"No, not stirring things today."
Lin Feng shook his head, his voice transmitted to everyone’s ears through the microphone.
Not stirring things up?
"What, not stirring things up?"
"I’ve gotten all excited, and you’re not stirring things up with me?"
"Wasting time, wasting my expressions and screams."
"It can’t be that simple, do you think Lin Feng and the others are foolish!"
The enthusiasm of the crowd noticeably weakened, and many boos started to sound.
After so long and they’re not stirring things up?
"Then what is your purpose for coming today?"
The host continued to ask.
"To request three slots," Lin Feng stated directly.
"Requesting directly? What’s the reason?"
The host asked in surprise.
Directly asking for three slots, even though your achievements are glorious, you shouldn’t have such an inflated tone!
And is this something you can have just because you want it?
Though it’s a popularity vote, with popularity being the criterion, strength is the foundation of popularity.
Without strength, even if you obtain the slots, you’ll ultimately be eliminated.
"Indeed, what’s the reason?"
After all, irrational fans are few.
After the discussions, the atmosphere turned somewhat quiet, as the audience also wanted to know the answer.
"The reason?"
Lin Feng looked forward, facing the gaze of two hundred thousand spectators, he calmly asked: "Lin Feng’s team closed the Land of Chaos, is this reason enough for three slots?"
