Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 179 Shift in Public Opinion
Lin Feng, who was already making headlines and the focus of public opinion, returned safely from the Demon Spirit Realm and posted a declaration of war on the Martial Arts Forum, which not only ignited the forum but also sparked heated discussions across the country.

At the same time, it also caused a huge uproar among the three major hero academies and the nine elite universities.

Lin Feng's apparent declaration of war against the company he represented was, in effect, a declaration of war against all second-grade students in universities across the country.

Having just entered the second rank, and still refining a first-order useless demon spirit, he had the courage to accept challenges from all second-rank martial artists, even those at the peak of the second rank, and it didn't matter if he refined a demon spirit from the Earth Ranking.

Isn't this the posture of being invincible among those of the same level?

Lin Feng's arrogance made many second-grade geniuses unconvinced and eager to try their luck.

During the start of the school year, apart from Lin Feng, there are very few freshmen of the second rank in universities across the country.

Therefore, those who truly have the confidence and ability to challenge Lin Feng are the second- and third-year students.

Furthermore, the post states that there is no age limit for this second-grade realm.

That is to say, anyone at the second rank can participate, except for students.

Such challenges have been presented on martial arts forums before, but none have had such a significant impact.

The reason this has sparked nationwide discussion is because this person is Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's experiences over the past six months have been nothing short of legendary.

Some media outlets even dedicated a special program to this.

Awakening Day failed.

I broke up with my girlfriend.

He became famous with a single post on a martial arts forum. He was an eighth-level body cultivator who beat up other martial artists, showcasing his extraordinary combat talent. Later, it was revealed that he concealed his martial arts talent for love, leading to a fantastical and melodramatic rise to power.

Shortly afterward, Lin Feng became the spokesperson for his first advertisement.

After the college entrance examination, he became a household name as the top scorer!
In just three months, he went from the sixth level of physical cultivation to a first-grade martial artist.

A prodigy in martial arts and combat, he claims to be able to refine demon spirits from the Earth Ranking and is seen by the Chinese people as the future savior of the nation.

The holder of the first throne at Hongyun University.

In the online poll, he defeated Ye Qiu and Yun Kai to become the number one newcomer.

At the start of his freshman year, he set a record at Red Cloud University by undergoing a baptism in the Demon Blood Pool, and used this as a means to break through to the second rank.

An 18-year-old second-rank martial artist.

She later became the spokesperson for numerous advertisements and signed with Juxing Club.

This prodigy, once hailed as a peerless genius capable of refining demon spirits on the Earth Ranking, has now become the most notorious fraudster in the country after refining a first-tier demon spirit.

Among all the universities, Lin Feng is definitely number one in popularity!
No one can compare.

The news generated such a sensation not only because the protagonist of this event is famous throughout the country, but also because this was no simple challenge.

This challenge comes with a stake, with the stakes reaching hundreds of millions of Singapore dollars.

Lin Feng was once known as the strongest high school student, but now that he's in college, he's still confident that he's invincible among his peers!
Never before in history has a student dared to be so confident, even arrogant.

Therefore, Lin Feng's post instantly ignited a nationwide sensation.

The companies that were previously condemning Lin Feng on the martial arts forum fell silent at this moment.

Some even directly deleted comments made two or three days prior that condemned and criticized Lin Feng.

Since refining the first-tier demon spirit, Lin Feng has been avoiding the issue, refusing to answer phone calls or reply to text messages.

But now, he has responded in an unimaginable way.

This response can also be described as a declaration of war!

Declare war on the manufacturers!
If they win, not only will their endorsement fee be refunded, but it will be doubled.

As Lin Feng said, if you're not convinced, then fight; don't just talk nonsense.

If the manufacturer posts again, condemning Lin Feng for deliberately concealing his talent and deceiving others, he will only be looked down upon by the Chinese people.

A single post reversed public opinion, not because netizens started supporting Lin Feng, but simply because they admired his courage.

He has already provided a solution, but this solution offers him no advantage whatsoever.

Netizens have always been fond of watching a good show and enjoying the spectacle.

Not long after Lin Feng declared war, they went on a rampage online, tagging various companies that had sought his endorsement, and the Juxing Club's account was flooded with comments from netizens.

Netizens flooded his public account with comments.

Juxing Club, Jiangcheng Branch.

The meeting room was filled with smoke, and the pungent smell of cigarettes made it hard to breathe, but Zhang Ling dared not show any dissatisfaction.

Because of Lin Feng's contract, she was severely criticized, and these three days have made her truly understand what it means for each day to feel like an eternity.

"Heh, still as arrogant as ever."

Wu Cailiang, a cigarette dangling from his lips, puffed out clouds of smoke. Even though he was recently troubled and angry about Lin Feng, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. As one of the three heads of the Juxing Rising Star Department, he was primarily responsible for Lin Feng's contract this time, and if anything went wrong, he would bear the greatest responsibility.

A contract worth 65 billion over ten years—even at Juxing, few people have such a large contract.

The exorbitant contract only resulted in a substandard product.

A mediocre person who could only refine a first-tier demon spirit.

This contract also made Juxing Club a laughing stock in the Glory Professional League.

Many people even joked: "Didn't you say you were going to gather all the top stars in the Glory Alliance? Now you've got all the nationally renowned stars in your hands, aren't you happy?"

There are many people who gloat over this misfortune.

Another headache is the issue of contracts.

The contract is for ten years. In the first year, 650 million yuan was transferred to Lin Feng. It will be difficult to get this money back. If he wants to terminate the contract, he will have to pay half of the amount as a penalty.

That is 32.5 billion.

Since the first year's payment has already been made, there is still 26 billion left.

26 million.

This is no small sum, even for Juxing Club.

And it's not just about money, it's also about saving face.

For Juxing, face is far more important than money.

"What should we do now?" Zhang Ling asked in a low voice.

"The headquarters in Beijing has already sent people to handle this matter, and they will arrive in two days."

A representative from headquarters came to confirm his failure. Upon returning to headquarters, he feared he would lose his job.

Now, the only solution is to resolve this matter properly. Otherwise, it won't just be a matter of position, but a question of whether I still have any value in the eyes of my superiors.
Wu Cailiang flicked his cigarette ash, looked at the comments from netizens on the screen, and said with some helplessness:

"Now, public opinion has completely reversed. Since Lin Feng has already declared war, no one will continue to condemn him on this matter."

The companies that hire Lin Feng as their spokesperson are all very powerful; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to accept his demand for a two-year contract with double the endorsement fee.

The highest endorsement fee for two years is only around 100 million yuan, which is not much for these companies.

Many companies are simply unwilling to accept being deceived and can't swallow their anger.

Now, Lin Feng has provided a way to vent his anger.

Further words and condemnations are pointless.

"Although I am very angry to be played like this, Lin Feng is indeed very smart, otherwise he could not have made everyone so foolish."

"Of course, the premise of being smart is that his martial arts and combat talents are indeed monstrous, which is also the main reason why we were deceived. Not just Juxing, everyone was deceived; we were just chosen."

"He had just entered the second rank and refined a first-order demon spirit, yet he had the courage to accept all challenges from the second rank realm."

"He declared war, giving us the opportunity to challenge him, and many people believe that this opportunity has a very high probability of success!"

"At this point, it's pointless to say that he deliberately deceived us or that he has no potential for future development, because nobody cares."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

As Wu Cailiang said, they only had one choice at this point.

There are no other options: either find someone to defeat Lin Feng, or pay 26 billion.

Lin Feng, as the top scorer in the college entrance examination at Hongyun University, is still the focus of attention even now that he has refined a first-order demon spirit. There are some methods that Juxing would not use, nor would he dare to use.

It would be too shameful to break the contract!
26 billion is not an astronomical figure, nor is it necessary.

"Then let's find a second-grade expert to make Lin Feng cough up the money."

Zhang Ling said through gritted teeth.

She simply didn't believe that Lin Feng was truly invincible among his peers!

"Isn't he supposed to have a life-or-death duel and a gambling match? Let's see how things go first."

Wu Cailiang shook his head and said.

Based on his understanding of Lin Feng, would he obediently return the endorsement fee he had painstakingly obtained?
No one, no force, can force their way into Hongyun University.

Even if they send Hongyun's students to cause trouble for Lin Feng and make his life miserable, Lin Feng can simply ignore it and not accept it.

Moreover, Lin Feng is not without support.

If Yun Kai stands up for Lin Feng, the people they arranged might not dare to make a move.

If Lin Feng acts like a coward, they don't have many good options.

Therefore, if he wasn't absolutely certain, would this young man let all his efforts over the past six months go to waste?
According to Lin Feng's challenge rules, if he loses, he will not only have to give back all his endorsement fees, but he will also have to pay out of pocket, leading to bankruptcy.
