Chapter 670: Chapter 492: Soaring Nine Thousand Miles

Zhan Tian’en did not feel relieved by his grandson Zhan Tianyu’s consolation, instead, he grew more and more perplexed.

Since when did his grandson become so impressive?

He had already probed and found that Zhan Tianyu had the strength of an Eighth Grade, but even with his support, passing the King Becoming Plan and smoothly becoming a King wasn’t that easy.

Becoming a King before the age of thirty is the mark of a top-level genius, it’s a threshold.

With Zhan Tianyu’s talent, it was possible, but now he was only 23 years old.

In Zhan Entai’s view, the probability of Zhan Tianyu becoming a King wasn’t high, one might even say it was rather slim.

Even though he felt this way, he would support him no matter the cost.

The King Becoming Plan is a very rare and precious opportunity, the treatment and attention for the first session were undoubtedly the highest.

Even if he couldn’t become a King this time, this experience would be beneficial for the future.

He didn’t understand why the Lin Feng squad was so confident, so self-assured?

Even though he was full of doubts, he still tried to remain calm.

After all, he was a Martial King and a senior, he couldn’t appear weak.

"Heh heh."

Upon seeing Zhan Tian’en’s puzzled yet composed expression, Lin Feng chuckled.

He understood Zhan Tian’en’s doubts and concerns.

The Zhan Race’s main business was Pills, one of the most profitable industries.

How wealthy the Zhan Race was, Lin Feng didn’t know, but as the wealthiest existence among the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, that was definitely an unimaginable astronomical figure.

If money could infinitely enhance strength, never mind a few Kings, even a few Emperors the clan could produce by spending money.

Due to the threat of Hong Tao, Zhan Tian’en was unwilling to let the family’s hundred years of accumulation be forcibly taken, so he decided to cultivate the Lin Feng squad, which was a backup path for the family.

But whether this resolve could always be so steadfast and at all costs remained an unknown.

To make someone spend money, naturally, you had to put them at ease.

Without worries, only then would they be willing to make a large investment.

Spiritual power flowed rapidly within Lin Feng’s body, a surge of spiritual power erupted, the air hissed with the movement of airflow.

At the same time, Lin Feng’s figure left the ground, hovering slightly.

"Indeed it’s the Lingyun Realm!"

Zhan Tian’en looked at Lin Feng, his gaze flashing slightly, having tested Lin Feng’s strength, he already had an idea.

Of course, even so, he was still shocked.

A 21-year-old at the Lingyun Realm, could this really be explained by extraordinary talent?

Is there truly such a Demon Fiend?

Before Zhan Tian’en could settle down, an even more inexplicable scene unfolded before his eyes.

At that moment, he even wondered if he was trapped in an Illusion Realm.

Otherwise, why did the world feel so unreal?

The hissing continued echoing, the strong airflow made eyes squint slightly, when Lin Feng demonstrated his strength, the others seemed to receive a signal, joining the hovering group.

"Lingyun Realm!"

"Lingyun Realm!"

"Lingyun Realm!"

....

As Zhan Tian’en’s gaze swept over each member of the Lin Feng squad, it shifted from shock to gradually dazed.

Of the fourteen people present in the Lin Feng squad, ten had entered the Lingyun Realm.

If it meant that Lin Feng, Yun Tianqi, and Ye Xing entering the Lingyun Realm were acceptable to him.

Lin Feng was recognized as a genius with monstrous talent, his cultivation speed and the level of absorbed soul skills always breaking records.

Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing were Top Ten Glory All-Stars.

Before retiring, the two had suppressed their strength, deciding to break through the Grandmaster Realm after retirement, reaching the Lingyun Realm in less than a year was somewhat exaggerated, but not impossible.

But why could Yun Kai and Ye Qiu also reach that realm?

Weren’t they, like Lin Feng, only 21 years old this year?

Could this truly be explained by talent?

Moreover, they were Demon Spirit Masters!

Weren’t Demon Spirit Masters more focused on nurturing Demon Spirits?

Even a super genius who dual cultivated Soul and Martial couldn’t possibly reach this level in both, right?

Zhan Tian’en’s gaze finally lingered on Zhan Tianyu.

He was also at the Lingyun Realm!

His estimation was wrong.

His breathing was slightly rapid, and although he tried to stay calm, his heart still beat quickly.

Despite having seen all kinds of great events, he still couldn’t control his inner shock at this moment.

At this moment, Zhan Tian’en finally understood why the Lin Feng squad was so confident.

This was no longer a mere squad.

Once they became Kings, they would form a force!

A force that no one could ignore.

Moreover, members of the Lin Feng squad themselves had the support of forces, like his family’s Zhan Tianyu, the Yang Race’s Yang Ningbing, and Huang Tianze.

The Huang Family even had the existence of a Martial Emperor.

Yun Kai’s ancestors had also produced an Extraordinary, and although they had declined, their foundation remained, incomparable to a common family.

Ye Qiu was the sole heir of a conglomerate, and even though the forces behind them couldn’t compare to the Hong Race, not even close, but what if these forces banded together?

Undeniably, apart from potential, the background forces behind the members of the Lin Feng squad were one of the reasons Zhan Tian’en was willing to cultivate them.

A very important reason.

"Good."

Suppressing his inner shock and joy, Zhan Tian’en nodded, only uttering the word ’good’.

Had he been hesitant and worried before, at this moment, the Lin Feng squad’s strength dispelled all his doubts.

He wasn’t wrong in his feelings, the Lin Feng squad indeed had the ability to massacre him.

He was a Martial King.

But if surrounded, ten Lingyun Realm individuals could massacre him with little effort, especially if those ten were Demon Spirit Masters, making it even easier.

He wouldn’t even have much of a chance to resist, he’d be slain instantly.

"I’m leaving."

With a simple farewell, Zhan Tian’en left.

Despite having many doubts in his heart, he did not inquire.

The Lin Feng squad had already shown their sincerity.

If Zhan Tianyu hadn’t informed him, there must be a reason.

As a wise person, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Now he had to prepare.

Before Hong Tao truly tore the façade, he needed to take action.

He would spare no cost to begin the most important investment of his life.

He wants to use all the wealth accumulated by the Zhan Family over the past hundred years to help this group of prodigies soar to great heights.

He wants to ensure that the future Zhan Family is no longer under threat.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel his blood boiling!

.....

After Zhan Tian’en left, everyone went to have breakfast.

"Don’t worry."

Seeing Zhan Tianyu still looking worried, Lin Feng patted his shoulder and said.

"Mm."

Zhan Tianyu responded, but his expression didn’t relax much.

With the family being targeted by an extraordinary powerhouse, how could he not be worried?

"When we become kings, what does extraordinary matter?"

Yu Qiao also stepped forward and said.

Although he usually doesn’t get along with Zhan Tianyu, the two have a pretty good relationship.

Moreover, this time Zhan Tian’en was so generous, bringing him a demon spirit with a diamond soul skill and those pill resources.

Even though he no longer valued this rare demon spirit, he could sell it for money!

"It’s not really a time of chaos yet, even the extraordinary don’t dare to act recklessly."

Yang Ningbing comforted.

"Mm."

Zhan Tianyu smiled, but the smile was somewhat forced.

No one continued to comfort him, as this kind of comfort was ineffective.

Their primary task now is to become kings.

Once they achieve sovereignty, many problems can be easily resolved.

"Lin Feng."

"Yun Tianqi."

"Ye Xing."

On the way to the restaurant, many people came forward to greet them warmly, among them were those who received the student quota.

Even if they did not believe anyone from Lin Feng’s team could become a king or help them during the competition, no one would offend them without reason.

Moreover, many genuinely admired Lin Feng’s team’s achievements.

"Why is no one greeting me?"

Yu Qiao still complained unhappily.

Everyone ignored him as if they hadn’t heard.

Are you not aware of your own status and strength?

On the way, they encountered many unfamiliar faces.

These people were here to participate in the competition.

They came for the upcoming competition ’Might Makes Right’.

The popularity vote has ended, and its rules are simple, which is all about a popularity vote.

The rules for ’Might Makes Right’ are equally simple, it’s about strength, divided into preliminaries and semifinals.

The preliminaries have two steps, the first step is to pass the strength and speed tests, screening qualified participants.

The second step is to defeat the testers.

There are two testers.

One is a Lingyun Martial Artist, and the other is a nine-star Demon Spirit Master.

Challengers can choose any one to challenge, winning grants access to the semifinals.

This time, 396 people entered the semifinals.

Those present in the hotel were the semifinalists.

Their ages varied, from youth to middle-aged, and even seemingly old elders—compared to the popularity vote participants, they might not be well-known but are undoubtedly masters.

When Lin Feng’s team entered the restaurant, they attracted many eyes.

"Look, here they come."

Zhang Junhao said, looking at the direction Lin Feng’s team appeared from.

Around him, many people had gathered.

High popularity, strong strength, and skillful management made Zhang Junhao a highly prominent and noticeable figure among the students, always surrounded by many people.

Among them were popular contestants for the ’Might Makes Right’ semifinals.

"Lin Feng’s team!"

A middle-aged man in a white martial arts suit mumbled softly.

His name is Dong Dacheng, quite a rustic name.

He was originally named Dong Dawei, and Dong Dacheng was a name he adopted years ago, meaning ’successful late bloomer’.

He appeared to be in his forties, medium build, short hair, with slightly receding hair at his temples, dark-skinned, contrasting sharply with his white martial arts suit.

His face was scarred, adding a rough touch to his already rugged appearance, his eyebrows thick and dark, eyes sharp as knives.

Although somewhat aged, he was very strong, a popular contestant for the ’Might Makes Right’ student quota.

Facing Lin Feng’s team with an average age of no more than 25, Dong Dacheng, in his forties, naturally felt a bit resistant.

"What? Feeling old?"

Zhang Junhao asked with a smile, then, as if empathizing, he commented, "Seeing them, I feel the same way."

"Somewhat."

Dong Dacheng didn’t deny it.

He hated geniuses, especially super geniuses.

The existence of these geniuses seemed to tell him that hard work was useless.

If not for the King Formation Plan, he would have no chance at sovereignty, while these geniuses, barring any mishaps, had a high chance of sovereignty.

"I’ve heard you have a grudge with that Yun Tianqi?"

Dong Dacheng asked Zhao Zhou.

Although not a Glory Player, Dong Dacheng knew about the two’s feud through TV programs.

"Mm."

Zhao Zhou nodded, then chuckled and asked, "What, Brother Dong, thinking of sticking up for me?"

"I’m not a student yet, can’t afford to stir things up now."

Dong Dacheng said.

Though he appeared rough, he wasn’t foolish enough to stand out without good reason.

Accidentally losing competition qualifications would be no joke.

"Just find someone to give it a try."

At his suggestion, many people’s eyes brightened.

And Xie Yixiao’s expression changed slightly.

Because many eyes turned to him.
