Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 591 A Special Meeting

The second phase of the mentor assessment has concluded, but its influence continues to grow.

Half an hour after the program ended, a special impromptu meeting was being held in the Kamijing base city.

Those attending the meeting were all high-ranking officials and emperors of the country.

Each of them holds a high position and wields great power; their decisions can affect hundreds of millions of people.

When Hong Tao entered the meeting room, he glanced around briefly, his eyes showing some surprise.

There weren't many people attending the meeting, but they were all leaders from various departments. The meeting was of a very high standard, one that surprised him.

"Fatty Zhou, what's the topic of the meeting?"

After randomly choosing a seat, Hong Tao asked the man sitting next to him.

He was cultivating when he suddenly received a notice to attend a meeting.

As for tonight's plan to become king, he didn't pay special attention to it. After all, it was just a plan to become king, not a plan to become emperor.

"I don't know either, but it's most likely related to the Avengers."

The man being questioned gave a wry smile and answered.

If anyone else had called him "fatty," he would have already lost his temper. But facing Hong Tao, an extraordinary and unreasonable man, there was no point in losing his temper; he might even get beaten up.

"The Avengers?"

Hong Tao frowned slightly, puzzled.

He naturally knew about the Avengers, and he had met Lin Feng, the captain of the alliance, several times.

He also admired Lin Feng.

A super genius with both talent and achievements will be admired by everyone.

Moreover, he was the hero who single-handedly shut down the chaotic area and saved the capital city.

If it weren't for Lin Feng, whether Beijing could have remained stable would still be uncertain.

Even if he detonates the novice monk and causes the space to collapse, he is not absolutely certain that he can close the portal to the Chaotic Land.

Although the medium has disappeared, she is not dead, and it is still possible for him to find her.

Therefore, he owes Lin Feng a debt of gratitude.

The Avengers have a brilliant track record, that's undeniable. But they're just an alliance created by a group of young geniuses.

Even if they have potential, it's not worth holding such a high-level meeting just for them.

Seeing Hong Tao's puzzled look, Fatty Zhou knew he must not have watched tonight's program, so he said succinctly, "The ten members of the Avengers have successfully become apprentices and have all advanced."

Not only did everyone advance, but there were also three additional assistant slots.

At this point, quite a few forces were already interested in these three spots.

"Ok?"

Hong Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, his first reaction was that it was impossible!

Although he hadn't watched the show, he knew that the elimination rate for this mentor assessment was very high; even a student at the peak of the ninth rank might not be able to become a disciple.

Are Lin Feng and his group really that strong?

After his initial surprise, Hong Tao finally understood why this meeting had been convened specifically.

The Avengers have a glorious record, but those achievements all took place inside interdimensional portals, under conditions of suppressed power.

The strongest member of their alliance is Bu Zheng, a ninth-ranked individual on the verge of death; there isn't even a single king among them.

Ultimately, it's just a talented and promising alliance that doesn't even qualify for the core battlefield.

Even though the alliance's members are exceptionally talented and can be considered representatives of the younger generation, the current tense situation and the possibility of a full-scale war with the Divine Martial Continent at any moment mean they are unlikely to have time to mature.

This is also the real reason why the major powers do not take the alliance seriously.

In times of war, a genius who hasn't grown up is nothing.

But now all ten have successfully become apprentices and have advanced to the next level.

With their talent, coupled with the teaching resources and rewards of the Kingship Program, it is possible that the alliance will soon have seventeen kings.

It should be noted that even a base city only has a dozen or so guardians, and the Harbin North Base City, which has relatively weak overall strength, only has ten guardians.

What's more, they are so young.

Youth means an unlimited future and the possibility of becoming an emperor.

Their chances of becoming emperor are several times higher than those of other students.

Many people have long regarded the Avengers as a 'little paradise,' and now it seems that this is more than just a saying.

It is indeed possible.

As a middle-aged woman entered the conference room, the conference door slowly closed.

"The meeting is beginning. I'm sure some of you have already guessed the topic of this meeting."

The woman spoke to herself, not giving anyone else a chance to speak, and waved her hand, immediately turning off the bright lights.

"Om..."

In the pitch-black environment, a buzzing sound rang out, and a light screen unfolded. As the nine people attending the meeting looked at the light screen, they became more and more serious and excited.

The screen displayed photos of young people.

Each photo includes basic information and a brief biography, along with hundreds of words of highly professional evaluation and assessment of their abilities. There are a total of seventeen people, who are indeed members of the Avengers.

"Alright, that concludes the presentation. Now, what are your thoughts on the Avengers?"

The woman asked.

"Given their potential, they must be protected, and at the same time, every effort must be made to keep the alliance under the control of the government."

Sitting in the first row of the conference table, a somewhat overweight old man spoke first: "Even if we can't control it, we still need to have our people in the alliance."

"I support Minister Li's statement. The Avengers must have our people."

Some people expressed their support for the old man's words.

"Control?"

A man in a suit asked, his tone slightly mocking, "Control what? Control their freedom? Or control their future?"

"Director Cheng, there's no need to provoke me with that tone. Only by keeping them under control can we protect them. Each of them has a high bounty on their head, especially Lin Feng. If you don't like the word 'control,' then you can use 'guide' instead."

Minister Li spoke calmly, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm in the man's words.

“An alliance with unlimited potential could become a second Pure Land if it is not properly guided. I think no one wants to see that happen,” Minister Li continued.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, and everyone's expressions varied.

Replacing "control" with "guidance" does indeed sound less harsh.

An alliance of more than ten champions can be of immense value. Moreover, the Avengers have already achieved brilliant victories; if this alliance could follow their lead, it would greatly alleviate some of the pressure on the situation. "Those kids are inherently good; they don't need your guidance. In terms of achievements and contributions to the country, those young people far surpass you."

Someone broke the silence, speaking in a slightly weary voice.

Everyone turned their attention to the person who had spoken earlier. He was a man wearing a gray training uniform. He was thin, with short gray hair and a weathered face, but his eyes were exceptionally bright and calm.

Every move he made, even his posture, exuded the unique demeanor of a scholar.

If Lin Feng were present, he would recognize him at a glance; the man was the one they went to rescue from the Divine Martial Continent half a year ago.

Zhou Chengfeng, who possesses the most powerful brain, was imprisoned on an island by an extraordinary person.

Seeing Zhou Chengfeng rebuke Minister Li without holding back, the others exchanged glances and smiled without saying a word.

Zhou Chengfeng has only been back for half a year, but he has already demonstrated his value. He is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

As the director of the First Research Institute, his status was no less than that of Minister Li.

As for why Zhou Chengfeng spoke up for the Avengers, everyone knows, after all, he himself was rescued from the Divine Martial Continent by the Avengers.

The outside world was unaware of Zhou Chengfeng's existence, and naturally, they were also unaware of the Avengers' achievement.

It's no exaggeration to say that this achievement is even more glorious than closing hundreds of spatial portals.

"Dean Zhou is right. He is indeed a cultured person. He can always pinpoint the problem incisively."

A rugged-looking man with a stubble beard, dressed in military uniform, chuckled, "In my opinion, if even those who risk their lives for the country and make outstanding contributions need special guidance, then Minister Li, who is high and mighty, needs it even more. If they take the wrong path, so be it; it won't have a big impact. But if Minister Li takes the wrong path..."

Although the rest of the sentence was not finished, the meaning was already quite clear.

This statement is no longer just a simple sarcasm.

"Since this is a meeting to ask for everyone's thoughts, I only made a suggestion and didn't say anything excessive. Why should Dean Zhou and Commander Wang make sarcastic remarks?"

Minister Li's expression remained calm, though his gaze turned slightly cold.

"I was just giving a gentle reminder; I didn't say anything excessive, did I?"

Commander Wang smiled and said, but the smile faded and he quickly became serious: "What I want to say is that those children grew up very well without our guidance. They are ten or even a hundred times better than our own children!"
"It's absurd and laughable that they would talk about guiding their own children when they're not even as good as their own! So my advice is to let them grow freely. If anyone misbehaves and causes them to resent or resist, don't blame me for turning against them."

After a slight pause, Commander Wang looked at Minister Li and said, "If we can find someone among Minister Li's descendants who is more outstanding than Lin Feng, then I will agree with what you said."

Minister Li did not respond, and his expression was rather unpleasant.

Being repeatedly questioned and ridiculed, even he couldn't help but feel angry.

You definitely can't find one; you can't find even one in the whole country.

In terms of achievements and contributions, few can compare, not to mention the younger generation, even among the middle-aged and older generations.

"Yes, I agree with Commander Wang's point of view."

Zhou Chengfeng said slowly.

He was actually quite surprised by the speed at which the Avengers had grown.

Even though he knew that the alliance would eventually attract worldwide attention and importance.

But unexpectedly, in just six months, they had the potential to become kings and a force that the country took seriously.

Even though the alliance has grown to this point, Zhou Chengfeng knows that everyone still underestimates them.

Because those young people are still hiding their strength.

The reason he could guess this was quite simple: Lin Feng, as the team leader, had been hiding his true strength.

He knew very well that Lin Feng possessed three divine-level soul skills: Substitute, Illusion, and Aging.

Throughout the world, including the Divine Martial Continent, no one has ever been known to possess three divine-level soul skills.

Even those who possess two divine-level soul skills are extremely rare, and they are all renowned emperors.

Based on his judgment, Lin Feng must have refined the second demon spirit and possessed a special ability that could increase the success rate of absorbing soul skills.

The information I just received didn't include an aging soul skill or any information about a second demon spirit in Lin Feng's soul skill combination.

Since Lin Feng has been hiding his true strength, his teammates will definitely follow suit.

According to available information, there are three other members of the Avengers who possess god-level soul skills.

That's not a spirit's innate skill; it's an absorbed soul skill.

Not only Lin Feng, but even his teammates had an absurdly high success rate in absorbing god-level soul skills.

And this is only a part of what has been shown.

If success rate can be explained by talent and luck, then it seems very illogical that such a rare and precious divine-level soul skill could be absorbed in the seventh or eighth soul skill.

Should one be more cautious when absorbing higher-level soul skills?

If he can obtain a god-level soul skill, he will definitely wait until he becomes king before absorbing it.

When facing a god-level soul skill, one can never be too cautious.

Absorbing a god-level soul skill in one's seventh or eighth soul skill is practically a crime!
That's an incredibly stupid thing to do.

No amount of ridicule or condemnation is too much for this kind of behavior.

The thought of a certain possibility stirred a restless, exhilarating feeling in Zhou Chengfeng.

If his guess is correct, the Avengers do indeed possess the ability to influence the course of future wars.

Zhou Chengfeng had met Lin Feng and others, so he knew them better.

The members of the Avengers signed the same contract and fought continuously on the Divine Martial Continent for the same ideal, experiencing life and death. The cohesion and trust among the members far exceeded the imagination of others.

It's simply impossible to control such an alliance.

Treating them too forcefully will only provoke a backlash and push them further away.

Hong Tao watched others speak and argue, remaining silent.

In his opinion, it would be more appropriate to keep such a potentially limitless alliance under his control.

He wasn't worried that Lin Feng and the others would go astray. How could a group of people with ideals and who were not afraid of death easily go astray?
He simply felt that having control of the alliance would maximize their value.

But the Avengers of today are no longer an organization that can be easily controlled.

If it offends them, it will be counterproductive.

The discussion ended as he had anticipated: the Avengers were given freedom to develop, the importance and training level for the Avengers were increased, and security protection was provided for the families of the seventeen members of the alliance.

After discussing the Avengers, the atmosphere became serious and somber.

The Avengers were just one opportunity for this meeting. Faced with the consequences and impacts of the widespread closure of portals around the world, a series of thorny issues needed to be discussed and decided upon.

As for how to stop the invasion from the Divine Martial Continent in the future, that's a matter for professional think tanks to study, so they don't need to worry about it for now.

Zhou Chengfeng, the brains of the think tank, attended the meeting solely to support the Avengers.
