Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 294 Showdown

Tokyo
Misty mountains.

Villa No. 16.

Tonight, the Yang family home, which is usually quiet, is bustling with activity. Ten tables are set up in the dining area, which is over a hundred square meters, and maids keep bringing dishes to the table.

Besides various delicious dishes, the dining table also contained the flesh and blood of high-level demon beasts rich in vital energy, as well as some valuable spiritual fruits.

As the dishes were served, the nanny's eyes held a hint of emotion.

These wealthy families really don't value money.

This table of delicacies is worth at least tens of millions.

Five tables, fifty million—this huge sum is enough to buy a commercial residence in downtown Beijing, but it's just the cost of one of the Yang family's gatherings.

Such gatherings usually take place once a month, around the end of the month. This month's gathering was brought forward mainly because Yang Ningbing will be participating in the National College Glory League semi-finals tomorrow.

This dinner was also partly intended to cheer on Yang Ningbing.

For any family, having a member participate in the National College Glory League is something to celebrate.

Even the Glorious Clan is no exception.

This opportunity is crucial for Yang Ningbing and will directly impact her future development.

The National College Glory League has thirteen participating universities, and only those who make it into the top six receive rankings and awards.

The three major hero academies are far stronger than the other ten schools, and generally they take the top three spots.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth places are equivalent to determining the top three among the remaining ten universities.

The rewards for fourth through sixth place are the same: both main players and substitutes receive a Gold Soul Skill.

In comparison, the rewards for the top three are much more valuable.

The difference between precious items, besides their grade, lies in the ability to specify and choose freely.

In other words, as long as it suits your destined spirit, aligns with your career plan, and isn't too outrageous, the Glory Association will not refuse if you can find it and will do everything in its power to get it for you.

This is what makes it truly precious.

Some rare spirits are so rare that they can't be found even if you have money.

This is something even the Glory Clan couldn't do.

After all, no matter how powerful or wealthy a family is, it can never compare to a country.

The third-place winner, along with five main team members, will each be awarded a Golden Soul Skill.

The runner-up and main players will be awarded the Purple Gold Soul Skill.

As for the champion, the main team members are directly rewarded with diamond-level soul skills.

As for the substitutes, they all possess Golden Soul Skills.

For the third-place winner, there is no difference in the Soul Skill reward between the main players and the substitutes.

A good Purple Gold Soul Skill starts at hundreds of millions.

Not to mention diamond-level soul skills.

Any diamond-level soul skill costs hundreds of millions.

This is just the beginning.

The rare Diamond Soul Skill is worth billions.

As for god-level soul skills, they could cost hundreds of billions, and even money can't buy them.

If such a demonic spirit appears, the higher-ups have a record of it and it cannot be easily absorbed.

Furthermore, the success rate of absorbing soul skills with such demonic spirits is too low; failure would be a complete waste of their potential.

The vast majority are refined into their natal demon spirits.

"Sister Ningbing, can you win the championship this time?"

Beside Yang Ningbing, a girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old asked her curiously.

"Of course we can. We have Sister Ningbing, Brother Zhan Tianyu, and even Ye Qiu as a substitute. Is there any need to ask?"

Upon hearing this, another boy put down his chopsticks, patted the girl's head, and gently scolded her.

"Brother, don't pat my head, your hands are oily."

The girl shrank back, looking at her brother with disdain. She quickly wiped her long hair with a tissue, then said somewhat resentfully:
"Sister Ningbing is very strong, and Brother Tianyu is also very strong, but this time the Red Cloud team has Lin."

At this point, the girl seemed to remember something, and her voice suddenly stopped, unable to continue saying the word "wind".

The lively atmosphere instantly fell silent.

The younger generation of the Yang family looked at each other, their expressions varied—some disdainful, some disgusted, some jealous, and some admiring.
Only one person had a somewhat complicated look in their eyes.

Hatred and fear.

If Lin Feng were here, he would definitely remember him.

It was Yang Rui who attacked him during the Throne Challenge, killing him with a single sword strike.

Having been killed by Lin Feng once, Yang Rui still feels lingering fear.

The atmosphere suddenly changed; clearly, Lin Feng's identity was already an open secret.

Suddenly, someone chuckled softly, breaking the silence.

Yang Ningbing frowned slightly and looked at the person who had spoken.

He was a young man of eighteen or nineteen, dressed in casual clothes, with fair skin, handsome features, and a mocking smile on his lips.

It was Yang Xingnan.

The child of Uncle Thirteen.

Two years ago, during the Royal Challenge, it was he who taught Lin Feng a lesson by Yang Rui. After being warned by his grandfather, he behaved himself and stopped causing trouble for Lin Feng.

However, in recent days, she has heard him say a lot of things that slander Lin Feng from other clansmen.

Some of the words are hard to hear.

"why are you laughing?"

Yang Ningbing frowned slightly and asked calmly.

Faced with Yang Ningbing's question, Yang Xingnan was slightly surprised. He didn't say anything, and even if he did, what difference would it make?

What is the relationship between Lin Feng and her?

He didn't know why Yang Ningbing's tone was so harsh, carrying a reprimanding connotation.

Yang Ningbing is exceptionally talented, having refined demon spirits from the Earth Ranking. She possesses the strength of a peak fifth-rank cultivator right after graduating from university, making her incredibly powerful.

She is highly respected not only among the younger generation but also among the elders. When they saw her frown slightly, many people put down their chopsticks and bowls, becoming somewhat uneasy.

Compared to the awe others showed towards Yang Ningbing, Yang Xingnan seemed unconcerned. After a slight pause, facing Yang Ningbing's gaze, he held his chopsticks in his left hand and appeared to be talking to himself:
"What's it to you if I laugh at myself?"

"Xingnan!"

Many people's expressions changed slightly, and they dared not breathe. One older young man even called out to Yang Xingnan and gave him a wink, clearly telling him not to provoke Yang Ningbing.

The Glory Clan consists of hundreds of members. In today's society, there is no such thing as equality. Those with good talent and strong strength have high status.

As a favored daughter of heaven, Yang Ningbing holds a very high position. If a conflict occurs and she is punished, as long as it is not excessive, even her elders will not interfere.

However, it was clear that his persuasion had no effect.

Yang Xingnan sneered. Others might be afraid of Yang Ningbing, but he wasn't.

Isn't it just refining the demon spirits on the Earth Ranking?

He's eighteen years old and just started college, so it's normal for him to be a little weaker.

He believed that his talent was no less than Yang Ningbing's, even though he had refined a ninth-order demon mantis, which was not as high-level as the thunder dragon beast.

However, the demon spirit has a better future because his father also refined a demon mantis.

There is a clear plan and path for the soul skills to be absorbed and the future career direction.

Furthermore, his father was a king-level expert who controlled a gate and possessed the key, making him far stronger than Yang Ningbing's father.

Within the family, his status and prestige are second only to his grandfather, Yang Qingtian.

Therefore, he was fearless and not afraid of Yang Ningbing. Seeing Yang Xingnan's arrogance, Yang Ningbing's expression gradually turned cold.

Yang Xingnan would never have dared to speak to her like this before.

"Ningbing, he's still young and has a bad temper, don't take it to heart."

"Xingnan, you should keep a low profile. You're not very strong, but you have quite a temper."

Seeing that the two were on the verge of conflict, many older people quickly tried to persuade them to back down.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

The commotion at this table also attracted the attention of the others. Yang Qingtian, who was at the main table, also noticed the scene.

They also knew the cause of the conflict.

"They're all kids."

Seeing Yang Qingtian's gaze, an old man with white hair laughed heartily.

For powerful individuals like them, at such close range, no movement could escape their notice.

"Xingnan has become arrogant and doesn't know how to respect others."

An old man said solemnly.

“They’re all just kids, all of the same generation, what’s there to talk about respect for? They’re not that much older,” another elderly woman said.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Yang Qingtian.

Yang Qingtian had already withdrawn his gaze, his face expressionless and showing no reaction.

On the other hand, faced with her cousin's unruly behavior, Yang Ningbing couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson, but the occasion was not suitable.

As for Yang Ningbing, she didn't care whether Yang Xingnan respected or revered her.

This meant nothing to her and brought her no benefit whatsoever.

What worried her was that Yang Xingnan harbored hostility towards Lin Feng. Given his past criminal record, she wondered if he might overestimate himself and cause trouble for Lin Feng in the future.

Lin Feng is not someone to be trifled with. He already harbors a strong aversion to the family, so it would be bad if something were to happen.

She was aware of Lin Feng's potential.

It is far more terrifying than it appears now.

Seeing Yang Xingnan's fearless expression, Yang Ningbing's eyes turned cold, but she felt somewhat helpless and could only hope that the kid wouldn't do anything foolish.

Thinking of this, Yang Ningbing stood up and walked towards the main seat, coming to Yang Qingtian.

Yang Xingnan's expression changed slightly; he thought Yang Ningbing had gone to complain.

Based on his understanding of Yang Ningbing, he shouldn't think so.

Conflicts between juniors rarely involve adults, and he just hummed in response without saying anything.

"grandfather."

"what happened?"

Yang Qingtian looked at his granddaughter and asked with some confusion.

“I want to absorb the Purple Cloud Dragon Carving,” Yang Ningbing said.

Yang Qingtian was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.

The Purple Cloud Dragon Carving is a ninth-tier demon spirit, containing the soul skill [Wrath of Thunder], a diamond-level soul skill with terrifying wide-area destructive power.

If Yang Ningbing can absorb this soul skill, her strength will increase by a level.

However, the success rate of absorbing such a high-level diamond soul skill is pitifully low.

Even with Yang Ningbing's talent, she would need to absorb this demon spirit with her eighth or even ninth soul skill to have a relatively high success rate.

Absorbing it now has a success rate of less than 11%, which is too early.

It would be such a shame if it failed.

It should be noted that such a demon spirit is worth as much as 3 billion and is one of the family's treasures.

If Yang Ningbing hadn't possessed both talent and strength, she wouldn't have been qualified to absorb it at all.

"Ningbing, with your current strength, the success rate of absorption is too low."

The white-haired old man who had spoken earlier offered his advice.

“Yes, it would be better to wait until the eighth soul skill to absorb it. It’s too early for you to absorb a diamond soul skill now,” someone agreed.

The others didn't offer any advice, but their eyes held a hint of a smile, clearly indicating that they shared the same sentiment.

In their view, Wei Mian was too confident to absorb a diamond-level soul skill with his sixth soul skill.
Being overconfident is foolish.

“I want to give it a try,” Yang Ningbing said earnestly.

If it weren't for Lin Feng's special abilities, she would have waited until the eighth soul skill to absorb it, but now, she wanted to give it a try.

"Have you thought it through? Even with your talent, you only get two chances like this."

Yang Qingtian said.

Although the Glorious Clan is powerful, it is impossible for every member to enjoy the best resources.

The standard for everything is talent and ability.

As one of the most outstanding representatives of the younger generation, Yang Ningbing's access to resources is also limited.

Yang Ningbing has two opportunities to absorb diamond soul skills.

If I fail, I will have to rely on my own efforts or my parents' support in the future. My family will not give me such a high-level spirit again.

Inside the villa, facing her grandfather's gaze, Yang Ningbing nodded with a firm look in her eyes.

Lin Feng's strength, along with the many talented members of the Avengers, gave her a great sense of urgency.

Within the family and among her peers, she possessed the most outstanding talent and the strongest abilities.

But within the league, she was just an ordinary member, without any standout qualities.

Lin Feng goes without saying. Zhan Tianyu, Ye Qiu, Huang Tianze, and Yun Kai all refined Earth Ranking Demon Spirits, and their rankings are all higher than hers. In terms of potential, they all seem to be stronger than her.

The only person she ever beat was Yu Qiao.

However, Yu Qiao refined a ninth-tier ghost snake, which is one of the most suitable demon spirits for the assassin profession. It is not a simple character and has the potential to become a top assassin.

In a one-on-one fight, although she is invincible, she cannot defeat him.

As for Dong Yunan and Yue Mingming, one is a healer and the other is a summoner, both of whom are legendary professions. On the contrary, she seems to have no special characteristics or advantages.

Furthermore, Yang Ningbing was also worried that Lin Feng's special abilities had limitations, and that he might not be able to use them in the future due to the aftereffects.

Or, it can only be used a few times, or a dozen times.

After all, this ability is simply incredible.

Moreover, Lin Feng has an astronomical bounty on his head, which is no joke.

Anything is possible.

Everyone has selfish motives.

Yang Ningbing was no exception.

It's better to absorb it yourself than to let others absorb it.

A high-level soul skill can change the future of a demon spirit master.

Therefore, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to absorb high-level soul skills is of paramount importance.

Not only Yang Ningbing, but also Zhan Tianyu and others used the resources of the Kai Shi family to search for the demon spirits they wanted.

Of all these people, Ye Qiu was the most eager.

In the Avengers, everyone else is a key member of the team, except for him who is a substitute!
