Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 172 Entering the Demon Realm

The atmosphere was somewhat somber along the way, with everyone except Lin Feng feeling worried.

In their view, even as a combat genius who knows two third-grade martial arts techniques, Lin Feng could never be Zhang Xingyu's match.

After all, Zhang Xingyu not only possessed the martial arts strength of the second rank peak, but also refined a ninth-order demon spirit.

Although it is unknown what kind of demon spirit it is, even the weakest ninth-tier demon spirit is very powerful.

There is no comparison between the first and ninth tiers; their combat power is worlds apart.

Besides the level difference, Zhang Xingyu also absorbed two soul skills, plus the innate talent skills of the ninth-tier demon spirit, making a total of three soul skills.

His status as a top player on the popularity charts is enough to prove his strength.

Lin Feng is the holder of the first throne and is this year's Rookie of the Year.

However, the freshmen who have just enrolled are generally not very strong, and many of them have not yet become martial artists and have no combat experience.

Almost all new students refine their demon spirits on the day of awakening, which is only about half a year ago.

In such a short time, he is not yet proficient in using the innate skills of the demon spirits, nor has he absorbed any soul skills or fought any battles. This is fundamentally different from the second-year senior who has been fighting and training in another world for a year.

No matter how you look at it, Lin Feng has no chance of winning.

A life-or-death struggle doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be a fight to the death; it just means that if you die, no one will hold you accountable!

Zhang Xingyu only wanted to get the money back for Yunjin Company and probably wouldn't want to kill Lin Feng, but without any constraints, no one could guarantee that something unexpected wouldn't happen.

"It's okay, if we can't win, we'll admit defeat and get our money back," Lin Feng said nonchalantly.

Why take someone's life for no reason? Money is more practical!

"Someone's here to cause trouble again."

Dong Yunan whispered a reminder.

Ahead, four young men were slowly walking towards them.

Zhang Xingyu's warning was just the beginning. Knowing that Lin Feng was going to enter the Demon Spirit Realm this morning, Lin Feng was warned three more times in less than half an hour on the way there.

They all demanded a refund and a public apology.

Among these three was the vice minister of the student union's operations department, who was Yang Ningbing's subordinate.

He only gave Lin Feng a verbal warning because his martial arts level was higher than Lin Feng's, so he couldn't attack Lin Feng.

The other two are sophomores. One is named Chen Xiang, whose strength is unknown, but he is ranked 69th on the popularity list. The other is named Wang Jie, who is ranked 13th on the popularity list. He is stronger than Zhang Xingyu.

Lin Feng naturally wouldn't return the money he had already received, so he completely ignored the senior's threat. As for the other two sophomores, like Zhang Xingyu, they could challenge him, but only if it was a wager or a fight to the death.

Chen Xiang hesitated, perhaps out of fear of Yun Kai, or perhaps out of a sense of inexplicable confidence in Lin Feng, and did not agree.

Wang Jie readily accepted, thus giving Lin Feng another challenge.

This is a bet, with a stake of 100 million, which is exactly the amount Lin Feng paid for his two-year endorsement contract.

"Brother, you're leaving so early!" A familiar voice called out.

Watching the figure running quickly towards him, Lin Feng's lips curled up slightly. He was a little disappointed that he hadn't seen Yue Mingming when he went out that morning.

"I can't refine the Earthly Ranking Demon Spirit and become the most famous fraudster in the country. You still want to join my team?" Lin Feng asked.

Yue Mingming nodded seriously: "Absolutely, I admire your fraudulent methods."

……

seven thirty.

Lin Feng and his group arrived at their destination, the library.

The Demon Realm is not located in the library, nor is it located at Red Cloud University.

The Demon Realm is a special space within another world.

That place is a paradise for demons, containing thousands of demons. Compared to the demons contained within the guardian artifacts, the demons there are fewer in number but of a higher level, and each one is very precious.

Because if something is not precious or rare, it is not qualified to enter the realm of demons and spirits.

Lin Feng and his group stood at the entrance of the library waiting. He had been informed yesterday that they would be entering the Demon Realm today, led by Bu Zheng and a summoner.

To enter the realm of spirits, a summoner needs to open the portal to another dimension.

"The top scorer in the college entrance examination has arrived!"

"To enter the demon realm, one must come naturally."

"How dare they even come in? They should have given this treatment to Yun Kai instead. How selfish!"

Many students noticed Lin Feng standing at the door and mocked him.

Entering the Demon Realm offers the chance to obtain an extremely valuable Soul Skill.

This privilege is only available to the holder of the first throne each year. Even if you are a key member of the Red Cloud team, you cannot enjoy it if you do not sit on the first throne in the first year.

Only one person receives this privilege each year!
How could it not make people envious and jealous?

As the owner of the throne, Lin Feng's entry into the Demon Spirit Realm was something no one could say, no matter how envious they were. But now, Lin Feng has refined a first-tier demon spirit, a useless first-tier demon spirit. In many people's eyes, Lin Feng's entry into the Demon Spirit Realm is an extremely wasteful act.

Some mocked, while others couldn't stand it and directly rebuked:
"I think you're just envious. Others sit on the first throne through their own strength, so why can't you come?"

"Exactly, a bunch of idiots. If you're so tough, why don't you try scamming a contract from Juxing yourself!"

"What a bunch of rubbish."

"With this 70 billion, even if he can't refine the demon spirit, Lin Feng's martial arts talent is enough to easily crush you all."

"Who says Lin Feng is afraid to show his face? He's willing to fight to the death. Do you have the guts?"

Lin Feng's refining of a first-tier demon spirit did indeed disappoint many people, but these people were mostly ordinary people and netizens who were disappointed because of their expectations, which led to their ridicule and abuse.

However, many students at Hongyun University still admire Lin Feng.

Earning 70 billion in half a year, go ask who else can do that!
Regardless of the circumstances, even if he refined a useless demon spirit, at least Lin Feng had guts.

He didn't back down.

Having just entered the second rank and refined a first-order demon spirit, he dared to engage in a life-or-death battle with Zhang Xingyu, who was at the peak of the second rank and had refined a ninth-order demon spirit.

Who has the audacity and courage to do this?

While they waited silently, Bu Zheng and an elderly man in a gray robe walked quickly towards them from a distance.

"Dean Bu," Lin Feng and his group said respectfully.

"You refined a carp?" Bu Zheng asked Lin Feng.

"Mm." Lin Feng nodded.

A carp with dragon blood!

The Transformation of Fish and Dragon!
Bu Zheng frowned slightly, a thought flashing through his mind.

Bu Zheng had high expectations for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's monstrous martial arts talent, extraordinary combat skills, and unwavering willpower, along with his reputation for being able to refine demon spirits from the Earth Ranking, all led Bu Zheng to believe that Lin Feng would become an invincible genius among his peers.

No one could have imagined that Lin Feng was refining a first-tier demon spirit.

Disappointment is inevitable, but after disappointment comes doubt and speculation.

Yesterday morning, Lin Feng entered the library to select a soul cultivation technique. Knowing that Lin Feng was very interested in the "Fish-Dragon Transformation" and was trying to cultivate it, he sternly warned Lin Feng about the consequences of cultivating the "Fish-Dragon Transformation" yesterday morning. However, yesterday afternoon, Lin Feng refined the demon spirit.

It is a carp spirit with dragon blood and both lightning and water elements.

Both the demon spirit and the cultivation technique are of dual lightning and water attributes, and the transformation from fish to dragon and from carp to dragon is a coincidence.

"Is this kid refining a carp in order to cultivate the 'Fish-Dragon Transformation'?"

Bu Zheng guessed what was going on, but there were too many people around, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"Who is entering the Demon Realm today?" The gray-robed elder beside Bu Zheng asked, seemingly puzzled.

Gao Hai and the others' expressions changed slightly. Lin Feng was the owner of the First Throne, something the old man who was a summoner should definitely know.

Asking this question clearly implies that they believe Lin Feng is not qualified to enter.

Lin Feng naturally understood this meaning, his expression unchanged, and he said calmly, "It's me." As if only then realizing what was happening, the old man stared at Lin Feng:

“I think you’ll waste this opportunity! A first-tier demon spirit can’t absorb advanced soul skills. This opportunity is extremely precious. You might as well give it to someone else or sell it to someone else.”

Lin Feng remained silent, offering no response.

“Fang De, this is his reward,” Bu Zhengdao said.

Fang De shook his head: "I know, it's his reward. If he refines a mid-level demon spirit, I won't say a word. I'm just asking you, what kind of soul skills can a first-tier demon spirit absorb?"

Bu Zheng looked at Fang De with a slightly sharp gaze, but did not answer.

Soul skills are divided into five levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, and Diamond.

A first-tier demon spirit can generally only absorb the soul skills of a first-tier demon spirit. If you're lucky, you can absorb the soul skills of a second-tier demon spirit.

The soul skills of first- and second-tier demon spirits are almost all bronze level.

In the realm of demon spirits, rare and precious high-level demon spirits are everywhere, but finding such a low-level demon spirit is quite difficult.

Fang De did not know Lin Feng, and the two had no connection, so there was no intention of deliberately making things difficult for him; he simply felt it was a waste.

Wasting this opportunity and wasting my soul power.

"Why don't we give this opportunity to Yun Kai? He's more suitable than you!"

Seeing that Lin Feng did not react, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Fang De's eyes.

Lin Feng remained silent.

Fang De didn't give up. He pointed directly at Yun Kai and said, "Aren't you willing to give this opportunity to your brother?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's expression changed for the first time.

The old man's words were clearly an attempt to sow discord between him and Yun Kai.

Yun Kai's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "I don't need it!"

"Ah…"

Fang De chuckled and said nothing more. If Lin Feng didn't agree, he couldn't take away Lin Feng's rights.

Seemingly too lazy to even glance at Lin Feng again, Fang De took the lead and entered the library.

"Let's go, don't let it affect us." Bu Zheng said to Lin Feng, and then entered the library.

"Go for it, Feng-ge!" Yun Kai said, clenching his fist.

Lin Feng nodded to Yun Kai, said nothing more, and followed closely behind.

Upon arriving at the ninth floor of the library, they once again encountered that mysterious stranger.

He glanced at Lin Feng but didn't say anything more.

Lin Feng followed behind Bu Zheng, and the three of them arrived at a secret room.

The secret room wasn't large, only about ten square meters, but it felt very empty. Apart from a few glowing stones embedded in the walls and a magic circle engraved on the ground, there was nothing else.

Lin Feng hadn't studied the formation, only knowing that it was very sophisticated, as spatial formations were generally sophisticated. The formation was inscribed with many runes and patterns, making it dazzling. Around the formation were four grooves, each containing a gray crystal the size of an egg.

The surface of the gray crystals is somewhat uneven and irregular, without a specific shape.

"Um"

Lin Feng stared at the magic array for a while, less than ten seconds, when he felt dizzy, as if the world was spinning and his soul was about to be taken away.

"Don't look at it, the magic array will devour spiritual power," Bu Zheng warned.

Lin Feng quickly closed his eyes and looked away, saying, "Thank you, Dean Bu."

"This is the core of a space-type demon beast. One core is worth over 10 billion. Because space-type demon beasts are extremely rare, this kind of core is simply unavailable for purchase."

Seeing Lin Feng's curiosity about the magic array, Bu Zheng explained.

"Entering the Demon Realm requires the energy of these demon cores, which is why I said you wasted this opportunity."

Fang De sneered. Lin Feng's shamelessness annoyed him.

"Fang De, you talk too much!"

Bu Zheng looked at Fang De, his brows furrowed, and reprimanded him.

Regardless of the level of the demon spirit he refined, Lin Feng earned this opportunity through his own strength. Whether or not he wastes it is Lin Feng's right, and no one can take that away from him.

Furthermore, Bu Zheng always felt that Lin Feng was not that simple.

Could someone who can manipulate the entire nation, including the Juxing Club, be a simple character?
Perhaps he has his own plans.

Faced with the somewhat angry Bu Zheng, Fang De was clearly wary, shook his head, and said nothing more.

Seeing that Fang De had shut up, Bu Zheng turned around and continued to introduce Lin Feng:

"Although summoners can summon monsters, they need to sign a contract with the monsters and can only summon them to their side. If they want to teleport people to another world, they need the help of a magic array. The stronger they are, the more energy they consume for teleportation. This is why only freshmen can enjoy this privilege. Once you break through to the second rank, the energy consumption for this teleportation will be at least one-third more."

"The Demon Spirit Realm serves a similar purpose to the Guardian Artifact. Within that special space, demon spirits do not need to worry about energy dissipation, and the Demon Spirit Realm is more suitable for their growth."

"Like other dimensions, the Demon Realm suppresses the strength of those who enter due to its instability and unique characteristics, especially for second-rank cultivators."

"In the realm of demons and spirits, you may encounter extraordinary beings, because that space was created by extraordinary beings, and those precious demon spirits were also released by them."

"When you enter the Demon Spirit Realm, the first thing you need to do is not to look for demon spirits, but to observe whether there are any extraordinary people around. Those extraordinary people who can enter the Demon Spirit Realm are all geniuses among extraordinary people. If you are discovered, you know what will happen to you without me telling you."

Lin Feng nodded; he hadn't expected the Demon Spirit Realm to be so dangerous.

"Take this scale. If you find any superhumans, regardless of whether they have absorbed your soul skills, crush it immediately. This is Fang De's summoned beast's scale. Once crushed, he will sense it and summon you back."

Bu Zheng handed Lin Feng a dark purple scale and said seriously, "Remember, if you find an alien, crush it. Fang De can summon you back in five seconds. You only have one chance, and there must be no obstruction, meaning you cannot be caught."

Lin Feng nodded, but felt somewhat uneasy.

It wasn't a threat from the supernatural beings. Since it suppressed strength above the second rank, Lin Feng wasn't too worried.

What unsettled him was the feeling of having his life and death controlled by others, which made him feel insecure.

In particular, Fang De had a lot of objections to his entry into the demon realm, but fortunately Bu Zheng was also there.

"Dean Bu, is anyone still missing?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes, a total of 76 new students entered the Demon Realm, and 6 of them did not return," Bu Zheng said.

Lin Feng was somewhat surprised.

Of the 13 people, one didn't come back, which is not a low probability.

No wonder Bu Zheng gave such a serious warning.

Being unable to return is tantamount to death, and the mortality rate is quite high.

If it weren't for the precious soul skill, I'm afraid no one would be willing to take this huge risk.

"Did you bring the Qi and Blood Pill and the Soul Nourishing Pill?" Bu Zheng asked.

"Bring it."

Lin Feng nodded. Someone had called him yesterday to tell him what he needed to bring.

Did you bring your weapons?

Lin Feng flipped his left hand, and a dagger appeared in his palm.

He originally wanted to bring a bow and arrows, but the notice said he could only bring small weapons, such as daggers and short swords.

Bu Zheng nodded: "If your hands and feet are grabbed by the strange people, you can cut them off with a dagger. If you fail, you can easily end your life with a weapon to avoid being tortured."

Lin Feng's expression changed slightly; so that's what the weapon was for.

"Get ready, stand in the magic circle." Bu Zheng pointed to the magic circle.

Lin Feng walked to the center of the magic array.

Bu Zheng looked at Fang De, who closed his eyes slightly. His body merged with the demon spirit, and a change occurred. At this moment, long black whiskers appeared on Fang De's body. These whiskers danced like tentacles, looking somewhat eerie. Then, his body became illusory, as if it had no substance. Meanwhile, the originally dim spatial array emitted light, and grains of silvery-white light enveloped Lin Feng like stars. The light became more and more dazzling, and after suddenly blooming, the light dissipated.

At this moment, Lin Feng had already disappeared into the magic array.
