Chapter 47 Liar
After Lin Feng left, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat somber.

Once upon a time, they, who were high and mighty, were so ignored.

And this person is a high school senior!
As the head of one of the top ten clubs in Honor of Kings, even those stronger than them would be treated with basic courtesy.

Those young prodigies who hoped to join the club were even more nervous and eager to curry favor with them.

Is he bluffing?

After a moment of silence, Jiang broke the silence first.

Old Jiang is 91 years old this year and is a seven-star demon spirit master. Although his strength is not very strong, as an old hand in the world, he can vaguely sense that Lin Feng is carefully hiding something.

Some talented teenagers, even Ye Qiu, when faced with his invitation, no matter how calm their expression or how well they hid it, could still reveal their eagerness or excitement through their facial expressions or small body movements.

But Lin Feng was the only one who didn't.

Those dark, deep eyes remained calm throughout, as if they didn't care at all.

Does he really not want to join?

Or perhaps they have absolute confidence in their talent and are waiting for the right price to go?

“Very likely!” Zhang Ling agreed.

Lin Feng's act of turning around and leaving was naturally infuriating, but it was precisely this extremely arrogant attitude that made her somewhat unable to understand him.

Soul cultivation talent cannot be tested by instruments, and only the individual knows what kind of demon spirit they can refine. Therefore, Zhang Ling could not be sure that Lin Feng was lying.

Furthermore, Lin Feng seemed to have no need to lie.

This lie cannot stand the test of time. Is it really just a lie for the sake of an advertising space?
Lin Feng is just a student. Even though he lives in a riverside community, he shouldn't have many expenses.

He's getting a lot of attention now, but that's just temporary hype, and it's nowhere near as good as those established stars.

Therefore, his advertising space is not worth much money; Zhang Ling estimates it to be at most a few million.

With Lin Feng's martial arts talent, making money will not be difficult once he becomes a martial artist.

There are many doubts and contradictions, but because no one has ever done it this way, and no one dares to do it this way, she can't be sure if it's true or false.

However, Zhang Ling did not directly voice these doubts.

"That old man is cunning. He might be saying that on purpose, but he's actually planning to observe us further in secret."

Zhang Ling glanced at Old Jiang and thought to herself.

Jiang Jun and Zhang Ling shared the same thought; compared to others, he was more eager for Lin Feng's return.

He planned to contact Lin Feng privately to test the waters, and if possible, first use an A-level contract to tie Lin Feng to Zhai Feng's chariot.

"Lin Feng, classmate."

Not far from the tea room, some merchants who had been waiting quickly stepped forward to chat with Lin Feng.

However, upon learning that Lin Feng had not signed with the three major clubs, their initially enthusiastic smiles faded slightly, and some even gave a cold laugh before turning and leaving.

In their view, the fact that the three major clubs did not offer Lin Feng a contract proves that Lin Feng is not worth signing.

There were many people waiting, and they left quickly. However, a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, dressed with a sophisticated air, did not leave and expressed her interest in the advertising space to Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, our company would like to use your advertising space. How much would you like?" the middle-aged woman asked.

She didn't mention her company name or what products she endorsed, and Lin Feng didn't ask either. As long as there was money, she would endorse anything.

"Eighteen million!"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's offer, the middle-aged woman paused slightly, then looked at him as if he were an idiot. After a long while, she smiled and said, "80!"

Lin Feng didn't even glance at her before leaving.

It's laughable that they want to buy his advertisement for 80.

Given his current popularity on martial arts forums, any advertisement he endorses will reach at least tens of millions of people.

The exposure alone is worth a fortune.

Lin Feng's expectation was at least eight million.

"ridiculous!"

The middle-aged woman sneered but did not stop her.

If Lin Feng is signed by one of the three major clubs, he would naturally be worth 1800 million, or even more. Otherwise, she would think even 80 is too high.

Although the martial arts forum is currently very popular, everyone knows that this popularity is only temporary. After being rejected by the three major clubs, the post will soon be removed from the ranking list, which means that Lin Feng will soon be worthless.

She offered 800,000 yuan simply to capitalize on Lin Feng's popularity before it faded away, hoping to create some buzz.

In the lobby of the martial arts hall, Lin Feng quickly found Gao Hai and Yang Fan. As soon as they met, both of them looked puzzled, clearly already knowing that Lin Feng had not signed with the three major clubs.

"Brother Feng, why?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Gao Hai asked in a low voice.

In his view, Lin Feng's martial arts talent was so outstanding, his combat talent was unmatched, and he could even refine the demon spirits on the Earth Ranking. Wasn't it a sure thing that he would sign with the three major clubs?

And it was signed with an S-level contract, with a salary of at least hundreds of millions of Singapore dollars a year.

While Lin Feng and Jiang Lao were away, Gao Hai and Yang Fan even started planning how to celebrate Lin Feng's signing of the contract.

"They want me to refine the demon spirit before they can give me a specific contract," Lin Feng explained to Gao Hai.

"Then why not just refine it?" Gao Hai asked, puzzled.

“That’s true, but the Earthly Ranking Demon Spirits they provided are of too low a level.” Compared to Gao Hai’s cautious manner, as if afraid others would overhear, Lin Feng made no attempt to hide his feelings and spoke loudly.

Is the Earthly Ranking Demon Spirit too low-level?
Why does that sound so strange?

Many people were already paying attention to Lin Feng, and most people believed that the three major clubs' refusal to sign him showed that Lin Feng was worthless.

If Lin Feng can truly refine high-level demon spirits, how could the three major clubs possibly let him go?
Therefore, Lin Feng's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

They only knew that Lin Feng had not signed with the three major clubs, so they naturally assumed that Lin Feng had not been noticed.
Now it seems there's more to this story?
If we accept Lin Feng's statement, it's not that the three major clubs rejected Lin Feng, but rather that Lin Feng rejected the three major clubs?
"Brother Feng, what kind of spirit did they provide?" Yang Fan asked in perfect unison.

"I have a water attribute constitution. Thunder provided a White Bird ranked 104th on the Earth Ranking. Its combat strength is decent, but its talent is not suitable for me. Star Gathering provided a Cloud-Stepping Beast ranked 102nd on the Earth Ranking, but its level is too low."

Lin Feng's words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Too low level? Lin Feng really dares to say that. No wonder he's called Ye Qiu of the South and Lin Feng of the North."

"This is the first time I've heard someone say that the Earth Ranking Demon Spirits are of low rank."

"Does he really think he's Ye Qiu?"

Like Jiang Lao and others, those who heard this were first shocked, and then questioning.

There's no way not to question it, it's a demon spirit on the Earth Ranking?

In Jiangcheng, 100,000 young men and women refined demon spirits on the Awakening Day, but only Ye Qiu refined a demon spirit from the Earth Ranking.

A genius, one in ten thousand.

Now that Lin Feng doesn't even care about the demon spirits on the Earth Ranking, how can everyone be convinced?

Their gazes toward Lin Feng were filled with undisguised suspicion and disdain.

"This Lin Feng is probably a fraud; he's just trying to attract attention by selling advertising space."

"If you really have that talent, you could refine the Cloud-Stepping Beast. After all, the college entrance exam is coming up soon, and refining a demon spirit from the Earth Ranking can add fifty points!"

"What good is a martial arts genius? Without the talent for soul cultivation, one still cannot become a strong person."

"Anyone who hires him as their spokesperson is a fool."

"Let's just let him perform by himself!"

Everyone was talking about it, and at this moment they looked at Lin Feng as if he were a liar.

"Brother Feng."

Gao Hai felt uneasy.

He couldn't believe that Lin Feng, who was a peerless genius not long ago, had suddenly become a fraud.
Aside from Gao Hai's unwavering trust in Lin Feng, even Yang Fan had some doubts, sharing the same thoughts as the others.

The Cloud-Stepping Beast that abandoned the Earth Ranking?

Why does it feel so unreal?
"hehe."

Lin Feng smiled indifferently, as if mocking the ignorant crowd.

Although he seemed indifferent, Lin Feng was inwardly smiling bitterly.

He came to Thunder Martial Arts Gym to sell advertising space, so he needs attention.

So he wrote exaggerated headlines like "High school student beats up martial artist" and "Seeking advertising space" on his clothes to grab attention, and the effect was just as he expected, quickly attracting the attention of some people.

Afterwards, his posts on the martial arts forum unexpectedly went viral, soaring to the top of the daily rankings overnight, leading to the saying "Ye Qiu in the South, Lin Feng in the North," which was beyond Lin Feng's expectations.

Lin Feng expected that his advertising space would only sell for a few million, and he would be satisfied if it reached two million.

With two million, he could use the martial arts hall to post quests for people to capture Purple-Winged Spirit Insects for him in another world. Afterward, he would announce the special effects of the Purple-Winged Spirit Insects on the martial arts forum.
Then he will have the money to buy pills to refine the nightmare!

This was his original plan.

It's a real shame that we couldn't maximize our profits, since such a good thing as the Purple Winged Spirit Insect only happens once in a lifetime.

But to Lin Feng's surprise, the post became so popular.

Therefore, he changed his strategy directly, hoping to capitalize on the hype and sell at a high price, achieving his goal in one fell swoop.

Furthermore, this opportunity allows him to directly inform everyone of his talent, preventing any suspicion arising from his rapid cultivation speed when refining nightmares in the future.

Lin Feng knew he would attract the attention of some clubs, but he had no intention of joining any.

Because he has very little soul power, even if he has the ability to refine other demon spirits after refining the Nightmare, his level will not be very high.

However, he couldn't directly refuse Elder Jiang and the others, so he could only deliberately choose some rare demon spirits to use as a pretext to refuse them.

The plans seem very meticulous!

The desired effect has been achieved!

But Lin Feng never expected that because he rejected the three major clubs, he would be questioned by everyone.

Despite the stares and questions from others, Lin Feng remained calm and said, "Ye Qiu has the confidence to refuse, so why can't I, Lin Feng, refuse!"

This statement clearly places him on an equal footing with Ye Qiu.

However, the audience didn't buy it. In their eyes, Lin Feng was just a bluffing fraudster.

Ignoring the crowd's comments, Lin Feng led Gao Hai and the other man to leave the martial arts hall.

Among the crowd, Zhou Fu, the restaurant owner who had been observing Lin Feng, followed closely behind.
