Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 304 A Luxurious Configuration That Is Inhuman
Morning, seven o'clock.

Lin Feng got up early, ate breakfast, and then went to Bu Zheng's room.

"Brother Feng."

Upon seeing Lin Feng arrive, Yun Kai, Dong Yunan, and Yue Mingming called out.

As before, Yu Qiao nodded, which was his way of greeting him.

Although he witnessed Lin Feng's abilities yesterday and acted somewhat obsequiously, calling him "Brother Feng" very cheerfully, Yu Qiao, who has always been proud and considers himself the chosen one, is clearly unwilling to be someone's subordinate.

And this older brother is two years younger than him.

He is destined to become a top assassin and a future emperor. Who is qualified to be his elder brother?

The other three substitutes ignored Lin Feng upon his arrival, as if they shared a common hatred for him.

As substitutes, they wanted to exchange pleasantries with Lin Feng and try to build a closer relationship. Although Lin Feng was polite to them on the surface, he didn't approach them or give them any opportunity to do so.

It wasn't just Lin Feng; Yun Kai and the others were the same.

The five main members gathered together every day, forming a small group that excluded them.

Even basic tactical coordination is rare, and can be counted on one hand.

This made them angry and helpless.

The three of them were all senior students. They had never met Lin Feng and his group of four before, and the only one they were familiar with was Yu Qiao.

Yu Qiao used to be a key player in the team. He was extremely arrogant back then, and he didn't even respect the captain, let alone the substitutes.

Now is the time when Yu Qiao is riding high, so it's better to avoid contact and save yourself from humiliation.

Although it was frustrating, at least they wouldn't lack the necessary resources, so the three of them could only endure it.

Lin Feng could also sense the dissatisfaction of the three substitutes.

Not contacting them and deliberately ignoring them is not out of pride, but simply because there are some secrets that the three substitutes cannot know.

Since they had never met before, there was no tacit understanding between them.

After that, we went our separate ways and had no chance of contacting each other again.

Furthermore, in Lin Feng's opinion, the substitutes should not have a chance to play; it would be enough for them to get a general understanding of the substitutes' soul skills and fighting styles.

"Since you're all here, let's start studying tactics."

Once everyone had arrived, Coach Zhou, dressed in a suit but with a large belly, started playing some videos and text materials on his tablet.

Two hours later, the tactical study concluded.

Tactical research is simple: it involves analyzing the soul skills possessed by the main players of other teams based on the survey data. Based on the spirits and soul skills, one can guess the possible tactics of the other teams.

This has been analyzed more than once before.

This was just to reinforce the players' memory before the match.

There's not much to worry about with Liaoyuan University and the Nine Elite Universities. As long as we don't underestimate our opponents, nothing unexpected will happen.

There is a significant gap between the nine affiliated schools and the three hero academies, and the nine affiliated schools are not competing for the top three rankings.

In previous years, there might have been a chance to compete for third place, but this time, I dare not even dream of it.

Getting fourth place would be a victory.

The opponents of the Red Cloud team are the Demon Star team and the Great Wall team.

Among them, the Great Wall team is the focus.

Last night, Ye Qiu successfully challenged Gao Qiang and became the main force, thanks to his newly absorbed diamond soul skill [Dark Night Star Mist].

The current main lineup of the Great Wall team is: Ye Qiu, Zhan Tianyu, Yang Ningbing, Chen Xing, and Zheng Yani.

Of the five main fighters, four of them, besides Zheng Yani, had actually refined the demon spirits on the Earth Ranking.

In the National College Glory League, there are only four or five geniuses who can refine the demon spirits on the Earth Ranking in an average of one year.

But in this year, it seems that super geniuses who can refine the demon spirits on the Earth Ranking are worthless, with nine of them appearing.

That's more than double the amount.

Of these, the Great Wall team accounts for four.

Furthermore, these four individuals belong to different classes: Berserker, Battle Mage, Lightning Mage, and Fire Mage. All of them possess explosive melee attack power and ranged damage output.

Zheng Yani, the only one who did not refine the Earth Ranking Demon Spirit, is a healer. She refined the eighth-tier Ice and Snow Moon Lotus, which is also a very high-level healing-type demon spirit.

Furthermore, according to the known information, none of the five soul skills that Zheng Yani absorbed were offensive soul skills; they were all support soul skills.

Such a combination of soul skills is obviously unreasonable. Healers are already weak in combat, and they don't even have an offensive or defensive soul skill. If they encounter danger alone without teammates, the outcome is predictable.

Dong Yunan, also a healer, follows the water-based mage path and has absorbed four soul skills: one offensive, one defensive, and two supportive.

Few healers would absorb soul skills like Zheng Yani; this was clearly a sacrifice of herself, specifically to cooperate with the team and the lightning mage.

This is precisely why the combination of Yang Ningbing and Zheng Yani is far more lethal than their teammates.

Previously, Lin Feng, Yun Kai, and Dong Yunan were recognized as a top-tier team. Now, with the addition of Yu Qiao and Yue Mingming, one an assassin and the other a summoner, the team is even more impressive.

However, compared to the Great Wall team, they are still much weaker.

The Great Wall team's roster is so luxurious it's almost inhuman.

This lineup is so impressive that you can't find even one in the Glory Professional League, let alone a university team.

This setup is exactly what the national team would expect.

Although the level of a spirit does not represent its combat power and configuration cannot determine everything, the five members of the Great Wall team not only have high configuration, but their strength is also recognized as strong, which is frustrating.

The Hongyun team consists of Lin Feng and two others who are about to enter their junior year of college, Yue Mingming who is about to enter his senior year, and Yu Qiao who is about to graduate. Compared with other teams, their average age is two years younger.

Both are geniuses, and a two-year gap is not so easy to bridge.

Although Lin Feng is very strong and is known as the invincible sixth-rank, team battles test teamwork, not individual strength.

Therefore, the chances of winning the championship are very slim.

"We've said everything we need to say. We need to conserve our fighting strength. If we beat the Demon Star, we can get the runner-up position. The Great Wall team is too well-equipped."

After Coach Zhou finished explaining the tactics, he gave a final reminder, his tone somewhat regretful.

The Hongyun team is very strong overall this year; in previous years, they would have had a very high chance of winning the championship.

But the Great Wall team is just too overpowered. They have four Earthly Ranking Demon Spirits, while they only have Yun Kai, so they are no match for them.

Some of the other teams didn't have any at all.

How are the other teams supposed to compete?
"Haha!" Dong Yuna and Yue Mingming couldn't help but laugh when they heard their coach say that.

"What are you laughing at?"

The coach looked at the two of them with a blank expression and asked with some confusion.

How can you still be laughing when facing such a formidable opponent!

Are you so careless?
Or have they already accepted the fact that they can't win the championship?

Hearing the laughter, Bu Zheng, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, was also a little puzzled.

Even the usually serious Yun Kai had a slight smile on his lips, and they all glanced at Lin Feng at the same time.

The Great Wall team's roster is so ridiculously strong, it's all because of Lin Feng!

Yang Ningbing was originally the number one thunder mage in Hongyun and the captain of the team, but she was kicked out by Lin Feng and then went to the Great Wall team.

Ye Qiu originally had no intention of joining the team, but after seeing Lin Feng and Yun Kai become the main players, he negotiated with the coach to become a substitute.

It was also because of Lin Feng's help that he absorbed the Diamond Soul Skill, greatly increasing his strength, which is why he changed from a substitute to a main player.

Ultimately, Lin Feng is the culprit behind all of this.

"How annoying!"

Seeing the knowing smiles on Dong Yunan and the others' faces, the three substitutes exchanged glances, a hint of annoyance flashing in their eyes.

It's that annoying feeling of isolation again.

"Weird."

The coach noticed the mysterious look on everyone's faces, muttered something under his breath, but didn't pay it any mind.

It's a good thing that the team members aren't nervous.

Once the tactics were studied, there was nothing else to do.

No one lingered in the room. Once outside, the three substitutes left without making a fuss.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing the three substitutes leave, Yu Qiao couldn't help but smile.

He can understand the frustration of being a substitute.

Back then, he was also ostracized by Yang Ningbing and others.

The semi-finals officially started at 3 PM. Lin Feng's team had no plans to go out, nor could they. At this time, the hotel was already surrounded by enthusiastic fans.

Conservative estimates put the number at least at tens of thousands. And people are constantly joining.

Beijing is bustling with activity today, just like during the Chinese New Year.

Yesterday's Rising Stars Challenge was so exciting that it broke viewership records, and it also made fans even more excited for today's semi-finals.

This year, in particular, is a constellation of stars, hailed as the most talented class in the last twenty years.

Not only fans, but even the Honor League is looking forward to it.

Soon, some of these prodigies will enter professional leagues and become stars admired by fans.

Not only residents of Shangjing Base City, but also people from other base cities and nearby satellite cities, have come to Shangjing through the interdimensional portal.

Those who can cross interdimensional portals are all very powerful.

Of these people, more than half were interested in the competition, while the rest of the strong individuals were there specifically to attend the auction three days later.

The auction, named "Apocalypse," was not promoted for long; from the initial announcement to the confirmation of the time and location, it only took three or four days.

But it has already caused a great sensation in the martial arts community.

Anyone can hold an auction, but to attract participants, publicity and scale are both important.

Sometimes, the publicity for an auction can take a year and a half.

The other effort and expenses are incalculable. In order to make the auction items attractive, collectors who own treasures must be persuaded to participate in the auction.

However, the auction became known to everyone within just three days of its announcement. Without any special effort to collect the treasures, people came to the auction on their own initiative. The reason for this was simply that the final item in the auction was extremely valuable.

The highlight of the auction was a three-cubic-meter spatial ring.

This spatial ring was the spoils of war that Lin Feng obtained after killing Haiwei.

The spatial ring is a unique treasure of the Divine Martial Continent.

Such treasures are extremely rare and precious; even a single cubic meter of such a treasure could be worth hundreds of billions.

Those who possess spatial rings are all powerful figures from top-tier forces.

Such powerful individuals are never short of money, and given the practicality of spatial rings, few would sell them.

Because of the spatial ring as a selling point, this auction attracted the attention of many conglomerates and powerful groups, and many people also took this opportunity to bring their long-collected treasures to auction.

The holding of the National College Glory League semi-finals, the bounty worth hundreds of billions, and various other factors have made the influence and scale of this auction far exceed expectations.

The gathering of numerous powerful figures put pressure on the capital's security forces, prompting a large number of police officers to maintain order, while powerful guardians were on standby at any time.

At this critical juncture, Beijing is the focus of attention nationwide, and even worldwide; nothing can be allowed to go wrong...

Despite heightened security and ten times the number of patrols, no one noticed that in an abandoned factory near the east of the city, a faint fluorescent light flickered, the space distorted like a water curtain, and a hand suddenly appeared out of thin air, followed by a body and legs...

The figure was dressed in black casual clothes and wearing a hooded jumpsuit.

"We finally got in."

The mysterious man's appearance was obscured. He first cautiously looked around, and seeing that he was in a safe place, a smug look flashed across his lips. Finally, he couldn't help but burst into triumphant laughter.

The laughter sounded slightly harsh.

The mysterious man pulled out his phone from his pocket, opened the news, and looked at it for a while. He muttered to himself, and although it was hard to hear clearly, one could sense his hatred and madness.

Finally, he found a profile picture, said something, and clicked send.

This is not Chinese; it is a standard foreign language.

The meaning is simple: six words: "The game officially begins!"

If Lin Feng were here, he would definitely find these words very familiar.

Because he had said that in the Jade Seal Space Gate.
