Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 170 The storm is coming

Back at Villa No. 1, Lin Feng finished dinner and went straight up to the third floor. Watching his back, Yun Kai and Dong Yunan were both a little worried.

"What's wrong?" Yang Fan asked, puzzled.

He always felt that Lin Feng and the other two were acting strangely after returning from 'Red Refinement'.

Lin Feng was perfectly normal, with no change whatsoever. It was mainly Yun Kai and Dong Yunan who were behaving very strangely; even the usually talkative Dong Yunan had become mute.

She was unusually quiet during the meal.

"Yu Nan, what's wrong? Did you perform poorly in 'Red Refinement' today and get scolded by Brother Feng?" Gao Hai asked curiously.

"It must be! They must have been too scared to fight the monster and their legs went weak!"

Lin Xiaofei sipped his cola, a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.

Ignoring Lin Xiaofei's gloating, Dong Yunan, seeing Lin Feng close the training room door, then explained with a worried expression:

"Brother Feng has refined a demon spirit, a first-tier demon spirit! We..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this news, Gao Hai was completely stunned.

The reward for the First Throne is entry into the Demon Realm.

Tomorrow, Lin Feng will enter the Demon Realm. The whole country is looking forward to Lin Feng refining the demons on the Earth Ranking and witnessing the emergence of the Son of Glory.

Even if it cannot be refined into a ranked demon spirit, it is at least a rare ninth-tier demon spirit.

Upon hearing this news, Gao Hai's immediate reaction was, "Impossible! Brother Feng might be refining a first-tier demon spirit!"
What a joke!
What use is such a low-level demon spirit?

"I had already guessed some of it before."

In the silent and oppressive atmosphere, Yang Fan gave a wry smile.

Lin Feng went from being unknown to becoming a national sensation, and he witnessed and participated in all of this. He was also mainly responsible for the subsequent endorsement contracts and negotiations with many clubs.

Yang Fan had already suspected something about that series of illogical actions and had asked Lin Feng about it.

Lin Feng didn't explain, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Compared to the shock of the crowd, Yang Fan was the calmest, because he had already expected it.

Even so, he did not expect it to be such a low-level first-tier demon spirit.

Isn't this just a useless demon spirit?

He could accept even a mid-level demon spirit, even if it was only at the fifth rank.

Although a fifth-tier demon spirit might disappoint everyone, given Lin Feng's martial arts and combat talents, many professional clubs would still be willing to train him.

Just like Yun Tianqi, the dual-wielder of the Thunder team.

Yun Tianqi was not a martial arts genius; he had only refined a sixth-tier Gale Mantis. However, thanks to his dual-sword skills, the Thunder Club devoted all its resources to nurturing him.

The Tier 6 Gale Mantis has now evolved into the Tier 8 Ghost Mantis.

But is a first-tier demon spirit worth cultivating?

No matter how prodigious one's martial arts talent is, which club would be willing to expend massive resources to cultivate a useless spirit with no potential?

What can you guess?

Gao Hai glanced at Yang Fan and said in a very serious tone:
"We've gotten to where we are today thanks to Brother Feng. No matter what level of demon spirit Brother Feng refines, there must be a reason for it. This demon spirit is very special. It was selected from millions of carp. It has dragon bloodline and is both lightning and water elemental. That's why Brother Feng chose it."

The atmosphere was somewhat silent and oppressive.

Even if it's special, isn't it still just a first-tier demon spirit?

Yang Fan broke the silence:

“Big Head, it’s no use if we believe in Brother Feng. Do you think the advertising companies he endorses and Juxing Club will believe him? They just signed the contract, and it hasn’t even been a day yet, and Brother Feng has already refined the demon spirit. This is obviously planned. No matter how many reasons you give, you can’t cover up this fact.”

Gao Hai fell silent. Although he didn't want to admit it, just as Yang Fan had said, Lin Feng clearly had a plan.

In fact, Gao Hai also knew that even if a first-tier demon spirit was special, it was still a useless demon spirit.

There has never been an example of a Tier 1 demon spirit evolving into a Tier 2 demon spirit.

After Yang Fan finished speaking, he left the table and returned with a bottle of baijiu in his hand: "Today is going to be lively. I just want to get a good night's sleep. Anyone want some?"

"Give me a drink."

Lin Xiaofei reached out his hand, also wanting to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

While worrying about Lin Feng, she also lamented her own situation. Their happy life, which had just begun, seemed to be coming to an end.

Without Lin Feng as a backer, he'll have to rely on himself for the rest of his life in Hongyun. If his family knew about this, he'd be incredibly worried.

"This matter can't be kept secret anymore. Brother Feng obviously didn't intend to hide it either, otherwise he wouldn't have refined the dragon fish in front of the top team."

Yang Fan poured himself and Lin Xiaofei a glass and continued, "Soon the whole school will know, the whole country will know. What we need to worry about is what to do next."

"What else can we do? We've already signed the contract and paid the money. Can we go back on our word?"

Gao Hai said directly, "As long as we stay at Hongyun University, do you think they'll dare to come in and rob us?"

Yang Fan downed the glass of baijiu in one gulp. The pungent liquor rolled in his throat, and as he frowned, he chuckled somewhat:
"Big Head, you're thinking too simply. The money has been given, but it's going to be a hot potato, extremely hot. I'm afraid it might just get burned!"

"Is it really that exaggerated!?"

Lin Xiaofei felt that Yang Fan was exaggerating.

At worst, Lin Feng can just stay at Hongyun University. As one of the three major hero academies, who would dare to come knocking and cause trouble?

"Is it an exaggeration? In my opinion, it's not an exaggeration at all!"

Yang Fan explained:
“Unlike the small manufacturers of the past, now the companies that want Brother Feng to endorse their products are all large conglomerates and companies. They might not care about 100 million, but nobody wants to be fooled. If Lin Feng dares to fool them today, someone else will definitely dare to do the same in the future. To avoid such trouble, they will retaliate.”

"Counterattack? What counterattack?" Yun Kai asked directly.

"These conglomerates and companies have deep connections and wide networks. Some geniuses at Hongyun University have even signed contracts with these companies, not to mention Juxing Club. As far as I know, seven super geniuses have signed with Juxing from freshman to senior year, and there are many more who want to sign with Juxing. As long as Juxing makes it public, countless people at Hongyun University will challenge Brother Feng and make his life miserable forever!"

Yang Fan said that this was what he was really worried about.

When the time comes, will Lin Feng, who has refined a first-tier demon spirit, still be a match for the challenge?
Demon spirit masters are superior to martial artists, and this gap will widen as they absorb soul skills.

Even Lin Feng's monstrous martial arts talent couldn't compensate for this, because there were also many demon spirit masters with outstanding martial arts talent, and those people were also refining powerful demon spirits.

"It's alright, I'm here. Anyone who dares to challenge Brother Feng will have to get past me first."

Yun Kai clenched his fists, his eyes resolute and fierce:

"Anyone who dares to challenge Brother Feng, I'll break their bones. One isn't enough, I'll break ten."

Yang Fan was somewhat surprised by Yun Kai's fierce, lion-like eyes, but at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was originally worried that Yun Kai might have some thoughts about Lin Feng refining a first-tier demon spirit.

If Yun Kai has any intention of leaving the team, then this team, which is said to have the best configuration in Glory, will cease to exist.

If Yun Kai were in front, Lin Feng would indeed be under much less pressure.

Those who want to challenge Lin Feng will also have some reservations.

"Should I tell my family?" Lin Xiaofei asked. "No need. Since this is all Feng's plan, let Feng decide for himself."

Yang Fan said, and at the same time said to Dong Yunan, "Yunan, you don't need to tell your dad!"

"Ah."

Dong Yunan nodded obediently, but her face was full of distress.

……

The meditation room was brightly lit.

Lin Feng stood in front of the mirror, his soul power trembling slightly in his soul sea. He instantly entered the state of demonic transformation. Soon, nine forked, silver patterns resembling phoenix tails appeared around his left eye socket, and a light white gauze robe wrapped around his body.

Arriving in front of the punching power testing machine, Lin Feng suddenly threw a punch, which struck the punching target of the machine like a cannonball.

boom!
The punching bag shook for a moment.

'700kg'

The punching power testing device displays the test results.

"There are nine ranks of martial arts. Each rank increases one's strength by a thousand jin. A first-rank martial artist has a strength of about 500 kilograms, which is a thousand jin. My original strength was about 650 kilograms. In the demonic transformation state, it only increased by 50 kilograms, which is not a big increase."

A first-tier dragonfish is too low-level, its amplification is limited, and dragonfish are not a type of spirit that strengthens the physical body.

"Try 'Fish and Dragon Transformation'!"

After exiting the demonic transformation state, the meridian pathways of the first transformation of "Fish-Dragon Transformation," the "Fish Body," began to operate under Lin Feng's control.

Spiritual energy coursed through his meridians, bringing a refreshing coolness. At the same time, delicate silver scales covered Lin Feng's arms.

With a slight clench of his fist, Lin Feng felt a powerful force emanating from his arm and swung his fist again, striking the punching bag hard.

boom!
The punching bag shook for a moment.

'1360kg'

Looking at the test results, Lin Feng was somewhat surprised.

Its power has doubled.

This is pure physical power, without any spiritual energy attached; otherwise, the power could be even greater.

"As expected of a divine-level technique, it's truly powerful!"

The test results surprised Lin Feng.

Ordinary cultivation methods only absorb spiritual energy and do not change the physical body.

Only top-tier cultivation techniques possess the special ability to alter the body.

The additional effects of the first transformation of "Fish-Dragon Transformation" are surprisingly powerful. Activating this technique is equivalent to gaining an additional soul skill that strengthens the physical body.

Furthermore, this soul skill is of a very high level, because even some intermediate soul skills cannot amplify power by two times.

While his strength increased, his arms were also covered in scales, making it difficult for ordinary swords and blades to break through their defenses, which allowed Lin Feng to attack more boldly.

In addition to possessing innate skills, the vast majority of demon spirit masters will have their bodies enlarged when they are in demon transformation state.

For example, muscles expand and grow larger, resulting in a taller stature and greater physical strength.

The dragon-fish possession only added a transparent gauze garment to Lin Feng's body, but it did not enhance his physical strength or power. However, this shortcoming was well compensated for by the "Fish-Dragon Transformation" technique.

Furthermore, as the skill level increases, the additional effects will become stronger and stronger. In addition to fish scales, the body can also grow dragon scales, dragon wings, and dragon horns.

In a sense, this is equivalent to Lin Feng refining another dragon spirit.

The additional effects of a cultivation technique can rival those of a demon spirit, or even a powerful dragon demon spirit. While it is certainly not as powerful as a dragon demon spirit and lacks innate skills, it is still quite remarkable.

No wonder that even though they know this technique is very difficult and dangerous to cultivate, there are still super geniuses willing to try it, like moths to a flame.

After expressing his feelings, Lin Feng began to pay attention to the changes in the demon spirit.

Perhaps because it had just been refined, the dragonfish did not show any obvious changes. However, when Lin Feng meditated and the "Fish-Dragon Transformation" technique was activated, spiritual power was transformed into soul power and entered the soul sea. The dragonfish became noticeably more active and excited.

Today, upon entering the 'Red Refinement' and sealing the demon soul artifact, Lin Feng collected thirteen demon spirits.

These are all low-level spirits, water-attribute spirits; this is the food Lin Feng prepared for the dragonfish.

Lin Feng reached out and crushed the three demon spirits, slapping them directly into his abdomen. However, before the dragonfish could refine them, the three demon spirits were absorbed by the nightmare, and the poor dragonfish didn't get to eat any of them.

Crushing a demon spirit into pure soul power is extravagant, as it wastes half of the demon spirit's soul power—an extreme waste—but it also has its advantages.

The first benefit is that it saves time, as the natal spirit can quickly absorb soul power.

Secondly, it can prevent demons from accidentally absorbing unwanted soul skills while absorbing soul power.

If you want the spirit to absorb the soul skill, you can let the dragon fish directly devour the spirit.

The dragonfish is too low-level and too weak. It might take several hours for it to devour a demon spirit, and there is a risk of failure.

"It eats spirits of any type! This nightmare doesn't pick and choose."

Seeing that Nightmare wouldn't give the dragonfish a chance to eat, Lin Feng had no choice but to feed Nightmare first and then feed the dragonfish.

While Lin Feng was in the training room, a rumor had already spread throughout Hongyun University.

Everyone who heard the news was shocked and incredulous.

"A first-tier demon spirit? Really?"

“Refine the dragonfish, but the dragonfish is still just a fish. No matter how special a first-tier demon spirit is, it is still a useless demon spirit.”

"I've heard that Lin Feng has signed at least a dozen endorsement deals. Juxing Club offered him an astronomical contract, they've already paid him the money. If that's true, they'll go crazy!"

"Are you kidding me? Didn't you say it could refine the demon spirits ranked on the Earthly Ranking?"

"I knew Lin Feng was bragging. How could he possibly have monstrous combat talent, monstrous martial arts talent, and be able to refine a demon spirit from the Earth Ranking? Where in this world can you find such a genius?"

"That's true, even Yun Kai's talent isn't that exaggerated!"

"However, Lin Feng's team did enter the 'Red Forge' today, and many people saw it."

"This is no joke. It came from the top team. It's not true. How dare we spread such nonsense?"

People were discussing the matter everywhere at Hongyun University, and soon the news spread beyond the campus and even appeared on the martial arts forum.

Villa No. 1.

Ding ding ding.
Lin Xiaofei's phone rang.

"It's my dad!"

The ringtone seemed to be a signal; the next moment, everyone else's phones rang one after another, almost simultaneously.

“My dad called too.”

Dong Yunan said helplessly, holding her phone.

Yang Fan's two phones kept vibrating, and in addition, emails and text messages kept bombarding him.

Yang Fan didn't dare to answer or even look at the phone at that moment, and simply turned it off to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed.

The storm has come.
