Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 38 Southern Leaves Autumn, Northern Forest Wind
After lunch, Lin Feng and his two companions rested for a while before heading out of their house.

Stepping out of the dark staircase, the heat wave that hit me made me feel a bit sweltering.

"It's so hot!" Gao Hai complained.

Gao Hai, being overweight, is most afraid of the heat.

In this kind of weather, it won't be long before his clothes are soaked with sweat.

"Hehe, do you want me to bring you an umbrella?" Yang Fan joked.

Gao Hai rolled his eyes at Yang Fan and said disdainfully, "Why use an umbrella when there's no sun?"

Yang Fan looked around, speechless.

Given the distance between the buildings in the riverside community, you have to find a special spot to sunbathe within the community. Because of the obstruction of sunlight, many people are just strolling around in the community.

Many people gathered in the open space to chat and play chess. When they saw Lin Feng pass by, they became excited and rushed over.

"Xiao Feng, why didn't you go to school today?"

Are you heading to the Thunder Martial Arts Hall?

"When is the competition? I don't have to work today, so my company is giving me time off. I'll come cheer you on."

The neighbors were very welcoming.

Two days ago, because of the failure of Awakening Day and Ya Ge's move, the neighbors were reluctant to greet Lin Feng, and their eyes were filled with pity and sighs when they looked at him.

But in less than two days, the sighs disappeared, replaced by surprise and excitement.

Clearly, news of the martial arts forum has already spread throughout the community.

"Xiao Feng, is there a competition at the martial arts gym today?"

An old man held a fan in his right hand, waving it as he asked.

"I've had high hopes for you since you were little. Do your best in the competition today and make our community famous."

"Xiao Feng, is what they're saying on the forum true? Did you really hide your talent for Ya Ge?"

A middle-aged woman with a child asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"Xiao Feng, can you really sell the advertising space on your clothes?"

"It might sell for a few hundred thousand, but I absolutely won't sell it for less than a hundred thousand."

Everyone discussed it and offered their opinions.

Lin Feng smiled but did not reply directly.

Although the residents of the riverside community are mostly poor, they are more united and have a stronger sense of community compared to those living in the inner city.

If someone truly succeeds, they will not only admire them but also feel proud of them.

"Yes, it must be true, how could it be false!"

Gao Hai patted his chest, looking proud.

"This afternoon, at the Thunder Martial Arts Hall in the South District, everyone is welcome to come and watch how Brother Feng dominates the battlefield."

Amid cheers, the three of them finally managed to shake off their enthusiastic neighbors. When they finally left the neighborhood, what should have been a ten-minute walk took them a full half hour.

Just as Lin Feng stepped out of the residential area, the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, located far inside the city, was already extremely lively.

It was 1 p.m., the time for lunch and a midday rest.

This time of year is usually the quietest time at the Budokan, but now, the 30,000-seat stadium is nearly half full.

These spectators weren't paying much attention to the game; instead, they gathered together and chatted, mostly about "high school students."

Many people were also scrolling through their phones, browsing martial arts forums.

At this time, the post "High school student beats up martial artist" on the martial arts forum had soared to the top spot, and even many news media in Jiangcheng began to report the news.

Many netizens even posted articles using titles like "[Southern Autumn Leaves, Northern Forest Breeze]" to attract attention, based on the areas where the two lived.

Although many netizens held skeptical and dismissive attitudes, it is undeniable that Lin Feng became famous.

The fire came as no one expected.

Many people spend money to buy tickets to come to the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, not to watch martial arts fights, but to see the high school student who is said to be the most arrogant in history.

Besides the ordinary audience members, you would occasionally see men and women in suits with an air of sophistication walking toward the VIP area.

"Looks like a high-ranking official from the Thunder?"

Many viewers recognized the identities of those important figures.

Not only that, but even the heads of S-level clubs such as Juxing, Zhaifeng, and AK also appeared at the same time. Of course, there were also many familiar faces from martial arts schools. They gathered together and chatted.

"I didn't expect that high school student to be so attractive."

The audience members exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

In addition to the heads of these clubs and martial arts schools, many news media were also present. They were in the press area, holding cameras and looking around, seemingly searching for targets.

"Almost all of them are here?"

Inside the VIP section, Zhang Ling looked around, her expression somewhat surprised.

Almost all the heads of the top clubs and martial arts schools in Jiangcheng were around her.

She never imagined that just two days ago, the ordinary boy she looked down upon, whose awakening day had failed, would cause such a commotion.

As the head of the Jiangcheng branch of Juxing Club, Zhang Ling knew that Yage had broken up with Lin Feng.

Upon first receiving the news, she secretly nodded in approval, after all, in her opinion, Lin Feng was indeed unworthy of Yage. Although not at headquarters, Zhang Ling learned through colleagues that after the signing, just yesterday, the club's senior management had held a special meeting to discuss Yage's future development plans.

This plan was even beyond her expectations!

Undoubtedly, the girl's future will be very bright.

Lin Feng's presence will inevitably affect the future development of Yage.

The breakup was good news for both her and the club, saving them a lot of trouble.

But little did anyone expect that just one day later, this boy would cause such a commotion.

If what's said on the forum is true, then [Nan Ye Qiu, Bei Lin Feng] is not just a joke.

"Auntie, do you think a high school student needs to act like this?"

Beside Zhang Ling, a young man said somewhat speechlessly.

The boy was dressed in a black tracksuit and looked handsome, but his expression revealed a hint of arrogance.

"Wei Ran, don't underestimate this high school student. If what the forum says is true, do you know what that means?"

Zhang Ling asked her own nephew.

"What does that mean?" Zhang Weiran asked, puzzled.

Both being high school seniors, he, being a genius, felt a mixture of disdain and jealousy towards Lin Feng.

They disdain his abilities and are jealous of his popularity.

"That means all the top clubs, including our Juxing, will give him A-level or even S-level contracts!" Zhang Ling said.

Zhang Weiran was somewhat shocked and said incredulously, "Based on his combat talent?"

Seeing her nephew's skeptical expression, Zhang Ling smiled and said, "Don't underestimate combat talent. This kind of talent is even rarer than martial arts talent. There are many geniuses, but combat geniuses are very rare."

At this point, Zhang Ling continued:
“Your strength is at the ninth level of body cultivation, and you can refine an eighth-order Shadow Leopard. Because of my connections, you signed an A-level contract with Juxing. But this Lin Feng doesn’t need to be like you. As long as he can refine a sixth-order demon spirit, he can sign an A-level contract.”

Zhang Weiran opened his mouth, seemingly unable to believe it.

A seventh-level body cultivator, a sixth-tier demon spirit can sign an A-level contract?
When did Juxing's A-level contracts become so cheap?

It should be noted that even though Ya Ge refined the eighth-tier Enchanting Butterfly, she only signed a B-level contract.

"Don't be so surprised. Otherwise, do you think so many people are just strolling around here?" Zhang Ling said, pointing around.

Zhang Weiran was shocked, but he did not doubt his aunt's words. As the head of the Jiangcheng branch, Zhang Ling had the right to offer an A-level contract.

"Manager Zhang, what brings you here? Isn't Juxing only interested in top geniuses?"

Just then, an elderly man with white hair dressed in a Tang suit came to the seat next to Zhang Ling and said with a smile.

"A high school student at the seventh level of physical cultivation is worth your time?"

"Old Jiang, what brings you here too?"

Zhang Ling nodded to the old man and said politely.

"Hehe, Thunder Martial Arts Hall hasn't been this lively in a long time, so of course I had to come and join in the fun," the old man, known as Elder Jiang, said with a smile.

“That’s true, this is your Thunder Club’s territory. What, are you also interested in that high school student?” Zhang Ling asked suspiciously.

"Just came to see if they're as arrogant as the rumors say!"

Old Jiang chuckled and said it lightly.

Zhang Ling smiled slightly and did not refute this.

They came here to prove something, didn't they?

There is no doubt that the boy has a strong fighting talent and even the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels, but such geniuses are not unheard of.

Many geniuses possess both martial arts and combat talents, but are unable to refine demon spirits or can only refine low-level demon spirits, ultimately remaining unknown. Such examples are not uncommon, and these geniuses are also known as low-ability geniuses.

A genius with limited room for growth.

Demon spirit masters are, after all, a profession that transcends martial artists.

"Wow, that's quite a commotion!"

In another VIP section, Zhou Fu looked around at the bustling scene and couldn't help but gasp. How long had it been? How had this previously unknown boy become a big star overnight?

"It looks like this advertisement will cost a lot of money."

Zhou Fu frowned; he wanted Lin Feng's advertisement!
The more attention he receives, the better it is for him, but at the same time, the competition becomes more intense.

Zhou Fu has noticed that many of the business owners he knows are wealthier than him. He doesn't know if he can compete with them.

Last night he spent 10,000 yuan to get Lin Feng's information from Chen Xiaoke.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng's post appeared on the forum that very day, and overnight it soared to the top of the daily rankings, becoming a sensation throughout the entire forum.

More detailed information about Lin Feng has been revealed. He doesn't care about that small amount of money, but there are many more competitors now, and his plans are going to fall through.

As for whether Lin Feng had hidden talent, he didn't care much.

Because he knew that if Lin Feng was really like Ye Qiu, he would have no right to compete for the advertising.

As a businessman, Zhou Fu wanted to take a gamble.

As time passed, more and more spectators gathered, and the martial arts hall's seating area was almost full. Just as everyone was discussing and waiting, three teenagers arrived late and appeared outside the martial arts hall.
