Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 104 Guardian Artifact: Red Lantern

In another world.

A vast forest, with ancient trees reaching for the sky.

A group of over two hundred people broke the silence of the forest. Some of the mercenary squads, their clothes stained with blood and covered in dust, quickly noticed the group.

"What a bunch of newbies!" a middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh.

In their eyes, this strange world was fraught with danger, and death could be a possibility at any moment. Yet, these teenagers looked on with curiosity, and some young men and women even snuggled together, whispering sweet nothings, eating snacks and chatting as if they were strolling in a park.

During lunch break, enjoying a delicious barbecue is like having a picnic for the students.

However, this leisurely and pleasant state of mind did not last long.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, they saw corpses and remains everywhere. Some even witnessed people being torn apart alive by monsters. The sprayed blood and warm corpses turned many students pale, and some even vomited.

Apart from Lin Feng, this was the first time all the students had personally experienced the bloodshed and cruelty of the other world.

The angry roars of the monsters, their fierce attacks, the violent fluctuations of spiritual energy, and the bloody slaughter kept the students on edge, leaving them with no sense of relaxation.

From Jiangcheng to Guanglin, you need to pass through seven spatial gates.

At each portal, the army protecting the students is replaced.

When they passed through the third spatial gate, Lin Feng and his group encountered another team from Jiangcheng, but it was clear that this team was heading to a different destination.

"Going to Great Wall University?"

Lin Feng's gaze swept across the group and quickly settled on the young man who was surrounded by a crowd of admirers.

The boy was dressed in a black and white tracksuit and carried a green travel bag. Despite the fawning and flattery from those around him, he had a gentle smile on his lips and seemed approachable. However, his eyes were slightly lazy, as if he didn't care about anything around him.

"Ye Qiu!"

Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly. He hadn't expected that half a year after the Awakening Day, they would meet again in another world.

"It's Ye Qiu!"

"No way, I'm so lucky, I actually saw my idol!"

"Ye Qiu from the South and Lin Feng from the North, two geniuses have actually gathered together!"

Exclamations and adoration erupted, but the soldiers responsible for protecting the students were used to it, compared to the students' astonishment.

To travel from Jiangcheng to Shangjing or Guanglin Base City, although the destinations are different, the first three spatial gates lead in the same direction, so it's normal to encounter them.

The other world is vast!
Because the portals to other worlds not only appear in China, but also all over the world.

There are a total of 856 spatial portals nationwide, and at least tens of thousands around the world.

The appearance of spatial portals is completely random, connecting different areas of another world.

Some portals even connect two countries.

Before the War of Glory even began, cultivators from China and other countries were constantly clashing over resources and territory. This escalated into large-scale battles and even wars between nations.

"Lin Feng?"

"And there's the orc Yun Kai, what a coincidence to run into him."

"It's Lin Feng, the top scorer in the college entrance examination!"

The group heading to Great Wall University quickly recognized Lin Feng, and Ye Qiu also saw Lin Feng's figure.

The moment Ye Qiu saw Lin Feng, his previously lazy gaze turned slightly serious.

Ye Qiu was very confident in his talent!
He also has reason to be confident.

An eighteen-year-old first-grade martial artist who refined the Thorn Demon Dragon, ranked 17th on the Earth Ranking, is not only recognized as a peerless genius in Jiangcheng, but also throughout the country.

In terms of talent alone, no one can compare to him. But in the past six months, another name has consistently appeared alongside him, and has even gradually become his equal.

Southern leaves fall, northern forest wind blows!

Ye Qiu originally didn't care about this title.

However, as Lin Feng, like him, broke through to the ninth level of body cultivation, became a martial artist, and even became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, this disdain had long since disappeared.

After the college entrance examination, Lin Feng's fame even surpassed his.

Ye Qiu attaches great importance to Lin Feng!
Lin Feng's combat talent was much stronger than his. He went from the seventh level of body cultivation to a martial artist in just three months, and his martial arts talent was even more outstanding.

His only advantage was that he had refined the Thorn Dragon, which was ranked 17th on the Earth Ranking.

If Lin Feng can also refine the Earthly Ranking Demon Spirits, then Lin Feng's potential will surpass his.

Although they didn't know each other, the two most famous genius teenagers in Jiangcheng nodded almost simultaneously after exchanging glances.

"Yun Kai!"

Ye Qiu's gaze shifted and lingered on Yun Kai. Standing at 1.9 meters tall, with a powerful physique covered in muscles, and possessing the talent of ancestral demon transformation, plus the Golden Lion King of the Earth Ranking, Yun Kai's talent was no weaker than his.

Lin Feng and Yun Kai will undoubtedly become his biggest rivals in the future.

Yun Kai also noticed Ye Qiu's gaze, but he didn't pay it any mind. He followed closely behind Lin Feng, appearing somewhat silent.

After a brief encounter, the two teams quickly separated.

The journey was long and arduous, but everyone was trying to adapt. Apart from some injuries, no one lost their life.

Those who were injured were all soldiers; the students were well protected.

Four days later, upon learning that they had arrived in the Guanglin area, the students, who had been exhausted, were immediately invigorated.

"Finally here, I've been so bored these past four days."

"I just want to take a shower right now. My hair is greasy and I stink all over."

"I just want to get a good night's sleep, and then wake up and have a big meal."

Everyone chatted in a relaxed mood.

"So many soldiers!"

When Gao Hai stepped out of the portal to the other world and onto the street, his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

This is also what many people think.

Guanglin's first impression of them was that soldiers could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys.

Although it also has tall buildings, skyscrapers, and commercial plazas, the military atmosphere here is much stronger than that of Jiangcheng, and even the pedestrians walk much faster.

"That's normal. Guanglin is the base city with the most interdimensional portals."

Although Lin Feng had never been to Guanglin before, he was not surprised by this.

Jiangcheng and Guanglin are roughly the same size, but Jiangcheng has 46 entrances to the spatial gates, while Guanglin has 68, nearly half as many.

Having half the number of spatial gates doesn't simply mean the danger level has increased by half; it's several times higher. Therefore, Guanglin has two to three times more soldiers than Jiangcheng.

"Red lanterns!"

Lin Feng looked up at the sky and saw a building that was entirely red, forty or fifty meters high, a hundred meters in diameter, and shaped like a lantern floating in the air. This was Guanglin's guardian artifact, the 'Red Lantern'.

The barrier it emitted enveloped the vast forest, reflecting a faint reddish hue under the sunlight, as if even the air was tainted with a trace of blood.
