Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 224 Entering the Jade Seal City

The room, which was 300 square meters, was dimly lit, and the curtains were drawn.

At this moment, the coaches and team leaders of various teams, as well as the three guardians of Shanghai and some important figures from the military and political circles, were also present.

They sat at the oval conference table, their eyes all fixed on a young girl in front of them.

The girl was wearing a blue tracksuit and was about 1.65 meters tall. She stood motionless with her back to the crowd, leaving only her silhouette.

From an angle unseen by others, the girl's eyes shone brightly.

She stared at the blank wall, images projected onto it from her eyes.

As we moved forward, the scene kept shifting and changing, seemingly from the perspective of a passerby. The picture was very clear, but the sound was somewhat blurry, intermittent, and not very clear.

However, everyone was satisfied with this.

In the alternate dimension, due to signal issues, electronic products cannot be used in the Divine Martial Continent.

Only through some rare visual-sharing soul skills can one see everything happening on the Divine Martial Continent.

Although this kind of auxiliary soul skill cannot grant powerful attack power, it is extremely rare and very difficult to absorb.

Even if two people absorb such a soul skill at the same time, there is no guarantee that they can successfully share it.

Generally speaking, the success rate is higher with twins.

Those who possess such shared soul skills are extremely rare talents.

This preliminary round has arranged for such a talent to mingle among the adventurers.

"It seems that this preliminary round is different from usual and will be very dangerous!"

Looking at the images projected on the screen, the coaches of each team frowned slightly, looking somewhat worried.

This attack by the alien race was far too fierce and brutal.

The damage is already so severe before even entering Yuxi City, which is indeed worrying.

"Is this time the alien race planning to hunt down human geniuses?"

"I've heard that many geniuses from other races have entered Jade Seal City, including Haiwei!"

"Let's issue a retreat notice. It's a pity, but there's no other way. We can't continue, or the losses will be even more severe."

"Why retreat? Retreat right at the beginning? Wouldn't that make us a laughingstock among the alien races?"

The crowd was in an uproar, with some supporting a retreat and others supporting a continued advance; no one could convince anyone else.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and soon a man in military uniform walked in. He walked towards an old man and whispered something in his ear.

The old man was a guardian of Shanghai and one of the organizers of this preliminary round. He tapped the table with his hand, and only after everyone quieted down did he speak:

"We have received accurate information that some of the sixth-rank geniuses from the alien races have already entered the Jade Seal Space Gate. All five major powers have sent people, including super geniuses such as Haiwei, Tianqing, and Leng Xue."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the coaches changed slightly.

Even Bu Zheng was no exception.

Haiwei, Tianqing, these five major forces, are renowned geniuses of the alien races, and even they are very familiar with them.

These people are the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation of alien races, with martial arts strength reaching the sixth rank, or even the peak of the sixth rank.

The demon spirits he refined included many of the top-ranked demon spirits, and some even possessed bloodline talents.

If any team were to face them alone, their fate would be dire.

Some of these geniuses originally resided in locations quite far from Jade Seal City.

Now they have traveled thousands of miles to gather in Jade Seal City, not just for the secret realm, but for the hunt.

Spiritual energy pools and elemental fruits, while precious, are not rare items for a genius representative of a powerful force like Haiwei.

Some of them have already enjoyed this kind of treatment, and enjoying it again will not bring much benefit, but will only be a waste of resources.

Their goal was clear: to hunt down human geniuses.

He wasn't too worried about Lin Feng's team, but the other teams, especially the nine elite teams and the Liaoyuan team, could be wiped out if they weren't careful.

"It seems that the team members this time are too talented, and the alien race plans to hunt down some of them in advance."

The old man spoke calmly, his tone revealing murderous intent.

Such situations were not unheard of; thinking of this, the old man glanced at Bu Zheng.

Twenty-five years ago, they were the generation with the most outstanding talents and the most brilliant generation. However, due to the conspiracy of the alien race, nearly a third of them perished.

This third represents almost the most outstanding group of people.

This includes Bu Yuanlong.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think we should do?" Coach Zhou asked anxiously.

"As I said before, sometimes giving up is not shameful. Inform all the teams of the alien race's plans and the dangers they will face, and let them decide for themselves. They are all adults."

The old man paused slightly before continuing:

"The preliminary rounds have gathered 104 geniuses from across the country. Even though Haiwei and his group are individually stronger, the number of geniuses is definitely less than ours. It's like injuring a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own. Even alien races are afraid of death. So, we'll give the choice to these kids."

At this point, the old man said to the girl, "Xin Xin, tell them about the alien race."

The girl, with her back to the crowd, nodded slightly without saying a word.

Inside the Jade Seal spatial portal.

When they learned that the alien geniuses had gathered and were preparing to hunt them down, the adventurers were so frightened that almost all of them fled, leaving only twenty people.

Of the thirteen teams, two left: Changkong Team and Liaoyuan Team.

These two teams are relatively weak. The Liaoyuan team is not one of the nine elite schools, but rather the top-ranked team among ordinary universities.

After everyone left, there were no attacks from alien races. Three hours later, the group arrived outside Yuxi City.

Yuxi City is a small city with a population of only fifty or sixty thousand, even smaller than Hongyun University. Its city gates are ancient and full of the sense of history.

Upon entering the city, one could see the figures of foreigners everywhere in the streets and alleys.

There were adults, children, and the elderly.

They looked at Lin Feng and his group with some fear, and quickly ran back to their houses, closing the doors and windows tightly.

Some children were curious but fearful, but most were hostile.

At this moment, surrounded by alien races and under the gaze of hundreds of them, the team members and adventurers' expressions changed slightly, their bodies tensed, and some even trembled, showing helplessness and bewilderment.

Many people had mixed feelings when faced with a foreign race.

In the eyes of some, apart from the single horn on their foreheads, there is not much difference between alien races and humans.

Even people from other races refer to themselves as human.

Perhaps it was this similarity that made them feel like they were facing their own kind.

Compared to the others, Lin Feng remained calm.

However, this was also his first time visiting a city of a different race.

Under normal circumstances, humans will not easily set foot in areas inhabited by other races, let alone directly enter their cities.

Although the alien races were not friendly, neither side dared to make a move. At this moment, the two sides were like a powder keg, and any action by either side would be like igniting the powder. Ignoring the alien races' gazes, the group hurried on their way. Seeing this, some of the alien races became bolder, starting to insult and shout, and some alien children even threw dirty things at the people.

"roll!"

Holding the Crimson Dagger, Yu Qiao deflected the oncoming stone, glanced around, and said coldly.

He was speaking a foreign language.

He noticed that many alien races, armed with weapons, had surrounded him. The number of them was increasing, and their eyes were filled with murderous intent, eager to fight.

A major battle seems imminent.

"How to do?"

Surrounded by alien races, many people seemed somewhat at a loss. They could hunt monsters without hesitation because they were wild beasts, but they could not be so decisive when facing alien races.

Furthermore, there were children among these alien races.

Some of those children still had innocent and naive eyes.

"Back off!"

Suddenly, a long arrow pierced the air from the distant alley, heading towards an unsuspecting girl, but she was saved by a defensive soul skill from her companion.

Upon witnessing the sneak attack and seeing the eagerness in the eyes of the surrounding alien races, Lin Feng's eyes turned cold.

Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, Lin Feng released his grip, and the arrow, with a whistling sound, pierced the throat of a foreign man in front of him. The spray of blood startled his companions for a moment, but they were quickly filled with rage.

As these alien races tried to take a step forward, sharp swords pierced their bodies.

"Kill them!"

The battle began, and various soul skills were unleashed. In a short moment, twenty or thirty alien races died, while two humans also perished.

"what!"

"Do not kill me!"

Watching their elders and relatives die beside them, the alien child cried out in terror. Many team members, seeing the crying child, slowly stopped their attack.

However, this brief pause resulted in the deaths of three people.

Among them were two team members, one male and one female, from the Xiamen Ming team.

This is the first time a member of the team has died.

And there were two of them.

The Xiamen team was positioned relatively far out, and because they suddenly stopped attacking, they were ambushed by the alien race's soul skills, resulting in the immediate death of two team members.

Looking at their fallen comrade and the blood flowing from his wound, the team members were slightly stunned, and for a moment their eyes were filled with confusion.

died?

My teammate died?

They never imagined that their restraint would cost their teammate's life.

Regret and anger caused them to roar in agony, and they no longer held back, unleashing their most powerful soul skills in a frenzy.

One minute later, the aliens retreated, the battle ceased, and fifty or sixty alien corpses were left all around.

These alien races are not strong; how could they possibly be a match for the geniuses of the various battle teams?

The battle just now was a complete massacre.

A few individuals trembled slightly, feeling reluctant, but the vast majority began to show coldness in their eyes.

Although they had just entered Yuxi City, the corpses of their companions taught everyone a lesson: if you are soft-hearted, you will lose the lives of your teammates.

"Um"

Dong Yunan's body stiffened; the corpse before her made her unable to look directly at it.

Hearing the cries coming from all around her, and the hateful gazes from the shadows, she couldn't help but doubt herself.

"If they hadn't come here, would they still be alive?"

Dong Yunan asked himself the question, but he couldn't find the answer.

Some people stared at the corpses scattered on the ground, their faces pale, and stopped in their tracks.

Having lost two teammates, Xia Ming's team members were heartbroken and filled with sorrow. They carried their teammates' bodies and chose to withdraw from the game.

It wasn't just Xia Ming's team; members from other teams also left.

They can fight against demonic beasts, but they cannot adapt to fighting against other races.

A total of 23 people chose to leave, including six members of the Xiaming team, six members of other teams, totaling 12 people, and 11 other adventurers.

At this point, the original team of three hundred people had dwindled to just over one hundred.

In the oppressive atmosphere, the team members began to move forward with expressionless faces. Deep down, they seemed to have lost their previous expectations for the spirit pool and elemental fruit.

Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the people around him, Lin Feng said nothing.

This is a necessary process.

In his view, the battle just now was very likely a deliberate arrangement by the alien race.

The lives of dozens of weaklings were sacrificed in exchange for a few geniuses of the human race.

It avoids losses and can even make some geniuses doubt themselves.

Some people can't bear it and, because of the fighting they just witnessed, will choose to be ordinary people.

Some choose not to enter the Divine Martial Continent.

Lin Feng was once confused as well.

This is not kindness or compassion.

It's just that the alien races haven't truly invaded yet, and haven't truly begun their racial warfare.

Just like now, many pacifists claim that they can coexist peacefully with other races and give up wilderness areas that are not suitable for survival to other races.

They didn't consider what would happen if alien races were allowed to come to Earth, given the different cultures of the two worlds.
The alien races were originally stronger than humans. Humans were able to restrain the alien races and prevent them from invading mainly by relying on various high-tech weapons and the deterrent effect of destroying the space gate and perishing together.

If alien races come to Earth, without these deterrents, will humanity still have the strength to resist?
Everything is not yet at its worst.

If it comes to that point, then there's only one path left: a fight to the death.

At that point, will compassion be more important than your own life and the lives of your family?
At that time, the so-called pacifists will probably want all the alien races to die more than anyone else.

Everyone wants world peace, a world without bloodshed, where people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Lin Feng also wanted to.

But war is cruel; there are no "what ifs."

There was no choice!

Only acceptance!
