Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 184 Just to Survive
Silent night.

In the early hours of the morning, on the cold ground, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated. The spiritual energy in his body circulated slowly through his meridians along the path of the "Fish-Dragon Transformation". At the same time, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seeped into his body, nourishing his bones and internal organs.

"Nightmare's innate ability is to automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cultivate this divine technique, 'Fish-Dragon Transformation.' When the two are combined, the speed at which it absorbs spiritual energy is twice as fast as before."

Lin Feng opened his eyes, and a flash of light passed by.

Having just broken through to the second rank, Lin Feng opened four meridians in just a few days, averaging one meridian per day, a speed that was unbelievably fast.

Even a genius at the second rank would need at least half a month to open a single meridian. Lin Feng's meridian opening speed was more than ten times that of a martial arts genius.

Of course, the reason why he was able to cultivate so quickly was not only because of the cleansing and marrow-refining process in the Demon Blood Pool, but also because he entered the Demon Spirit Realm and absorbed two kinds of soul skills.

By devouring demonic spirits and absorbing their soul skills, the power of the demonic spirits will also strengthen the body.

With a seventh-tier mirror beast and a ninth-tier phantom leopard, plus the cultivation of the first transformation into a fish in the "Fish-Dragon Transformation," Lin Feng's physique was now no weaker than that of a peak second-grade martial artist.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Lin Feng and his group got up, washed up, and left the villa.

Hongyun University doesn't have military training, and for martial artists, military training is meaningless; it's better to enter another world and fight.

After the Throne Challenge, the new students have three days of rest. Three days later, which is today, is the day the new students start classes.

“Lin Fengye.”

"What's so surprising? Do you think he's still the God of Wind?"

"Why is Lin Feng still walking at the front of the group?"

"How could Yun Kai be so obedient, willingly acting as a subordinate?"

"I heard that in six days, Lin Feng will have a life-or-death battle with Zhang Xingyu, a sophomore. Although I don't think highly of him, I have to admit that he is indeed brave."

"Why is it six days later? Has the injury not healed yet?"

"Haha, Lin Feng said he needs to count the number of people and we'll deal with it all together that day."

"So arrogant!"

"Although it's arrogant, it's really domineering!"

"What a load of rubbish! He just entered the second rank and thinks he's invincible among his peers. He's overestimating himself. When he loses, he'll have to pay back double the endorsement fee, and he might even go bankrupt."

The moment Lin Feng and his group appeared, they became the focus of the students' attention.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the group of seven headed towards the cafeteria.

Lin Feng has always ignored the discussions and ridicule.

What others say is their freedom; paying attention to it will only cause you trouble.

"self-abasement?"

In the past, Yun Kai and the others would have paid a lot of attention to these discussions, and might even have glared at those who mocked them.

Although they weren't talking about them, they were worried that if Lin Feng heard it, he would feel bad and inferior.

However, after learning yesterday that Lin Feng had become a two-star demon spirit master and had absorbed two purple-gold soul skills, Yun Kai and the others were clearly in a different state of mind.

All the initial confusion, anxiety, and caution vanished.

self-abasement?

They are the ones who should feel inferior.

"A bunch of idiots. If it weren't for Brother Feng telling us to keep a low profile, those two purple-gold soul skills would have blinded them."

Dong Yunan looked at the crowd of people discussing and muttered to himself.

Feng Ge is still Feng Ge. He has always sat on the first throne and has never fallen from his pedestal.

The three of them still represent the most elite lineup in the Glory Alliance!

Now the team has gained a member, a summoner who, though weak and unable to form contracts with or summon monsters, has the potential to change the world.

"Little Sister Dong, that's how it should be. The more pessimistic and mocking they are, the more satisfying and fulfilling it will be when they're proven wrong. I'm already looking forward to seeing their shocked and bewildered expressions as they question their existence."

Hearing Dong Yunan's mutterings, Yue Mingming responded softly.

Dong Yunan patted Yue Mingming on the shoulder and nodded in approval.

"Mingming, I knew I wasn't wrong. You really have a good eye."

Yue Mingming was speechless: "Call me senior, not Mingming classmate!"

"Today went very smoothly!" Yang Fan exclaimed.

Perhaps because of Lin Feng's declaration of war, the journey has been smooth, with no one trying to stop them or challenge them.

However, quite a few second-year students, those at the second rank of martial arts, looked at Lin Feng with a provocative gaze.

Lin Feng's declaration of war was clearly seen by many senior students as a sign that he didn't take them seriously.

As a freshman, even a rising star, this is far too arrogant and lacks the respect one should have for senior students.

Many people wanted to teach Lin Feng a lesson, but Lin Feng's challenge rules were a wager of up to hundreds of millions or a life-or-death battle!
Even if they were very unhappy, no one dared to make a move easily.

Everyone was waiting for the life-or-death battle to take place six days later.

It seems that the military personnel Bu Zheng had mentioned have also given up on recruiting Lin Feng.

Even Yun Kai did not receive the news.

This is obviously good news for Lin Feng.

Hongyun University offers a lot of flexibility, allowing students to freely choose the courses they want to attend.

For freshmen, there is no distinction between academies in the first semester. Whether they are demon spirit masters or martial artists, the basic cultural knowledge and physical training they learn are the same.

In the two weeks leading up to the start of the semester, most of the courses were academic subjects.

Today, the first lesson for the new students was held in a gymnasium that can hold 5,000 people.

When Lin Feng and his group arrived, almost all the new students were already there.

Above the stadium, an elderly man with silver hair, dressed in a gray martial arts outfit, gently flapped his spiritual wings and closed his eyes to rest.

When class started, the old man opened his eyes and said:
"I will be teaching the first lesson at Hongyun University, a detailed introduction to the other world. You can just call me Teacher Chen. I'm just a seventh-rank old man nearing seventy. Before long, you will all be stronger than me, so it doesn't matter if you know my name or not."

The old man gave a self-deprecating smile and bowed his head slightly:

"Today's lesson is routine and doesn't really have any special meaning. I just want you to understand what the purpose of your hard work in cultivation is?"

For what?
Hearing the old man's question, many students frowned slightly.

Is this a psychology class?

They are all adults, martial artists and demon spirit masters. Is it really necessary for them to take this kind of psychology class?

The old man's voice did not stop, but continued to echo in the students' ears:

"Some people strive to join the Glory Club after graduation, become big stars, make quick and big money, and enjoy the adoration of fans. Others simply want to improve their family's life. Of course, for some wealthy young masters, hard work sometimes has no purpose; it's just about not wanting to fall behind others. Everyone has a different personality, a different upbringing, and different talents, so their goals will naturally be different as well."

"What I'm saying now is actually some meaningless nonsense, and some of you may already be complaining in your hearts. In fact, the real purpose of this lesson is just to tell you that diligently cultivating is merely a means to survive."

Teacher Chen's words made many people's hearts race and their brows furrow, feeling that he had exaggerated somewhat.

Now that the base city has a guardian artifact, wild monsters are blocked. Even though interdimensional portals keep appearing, they are all sealed off. Has the situation become that serious?

Just to survive?
