Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 69: A Laughter That Makes Your Heart Ache
Yun Kai ate his meal quietly.

In the past, the intense hunger would have prevented him from eating slowly and deliberately; he would have eaten and drunk in large gulps.

But now, he not only forced himself to slow down, but he also tried to keep his voice down when swallowing.

Although he knew that, in terms of both appearance and physique, he was just like the 'half-orc' everyone talked about, he still hoped that he could be a little more elegant in front of Lin Feng, his idol.

More like a real person!
From the moment Lin Feng and the other two sat down opposite Yun Kai, he kept his head down, almost burying it in his food.

Because he faced various strange looks and humiliation from a young age, Yun Kai is more sensitive to the gaze of others.

He could clearly feel three pairs of eyes lingering over his body and face, as if observing him.

Because of his previous act of standing up for him, Yun Kai lowered his guard slightly. He didn't know why Lin Feng and the other two were sitting opposite him, but he guessed that they were probably pitying him.
Although he was very unaccustomed to it and even felt a little restless, Yun Kai did not reject it and even enjoyed the feeling.

"Thank you!"

Yun Kai thought to himself.

When the whole world shows you malice, any kindness is extremely precious.

Regardless of Lin Feng's mindset, Yun Kai was very grateful.

Because of his physical transformation from kindergarten onwards, he became distinctly different from his classmates.

The difference between humans and wild animals!
Let alone eating with him, even if he accidentally gets close to them, the students will react as if they've encountered a bug, showing disgust and running away as fast as they can.

No one ever ate with him!
Even though he and Lin Feng and the other two didn't communicate at all, at this moment, his surroundings were no longer an empty space, and he seemed no different from the other normal students.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, what should have been a ten-minute lunch took Lin Feng and his group a full half hour. They had finished eating, but showed no sign of leaving.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Yun Kai held his chopsticks, and the once delicious roasted meat now tasted like cardboard.

He had deliberately slowed down his eating pace, but Lin Feng and the other two did the same, as if they were deliberately trying to keep up with his pace.

Half an hour later, Lin Feng and the other two had finished eating, but they still showed no sign of leaving. If it was just out of pity for him, there seemed to be no need for them to do so.

An uneasy feeling spread through Yun Kai's heart, but he never dared to look up.

"What are Lin Feng and the others doing? Why are they staring at the orcs?"

"Judging from that look in his eyes, he might be about to punch me."

"Probably not. If he wanted to beat him up, he wouldn't have stood up for him or stood up for him. Besides, although Lin Feng is ruthless, he has never bullied the weak."

"That's true. Although Lin Feng is a bit aloof, his character is still reliable."

"Then tell me what happened? It's not like you wanted to see him for something, is it?"

He could faintly hear his classmates talking, which made Yun Kai even more uneasy.

He kept his head down and remained silent until ten minutes later, when he had finished his meal and the room was empty. Lin Feng and the other two still did not get up. Only then did he cautiously raise his head, his expression as if he were about to face the judgment of the apocalypse.

Yun Kai looked up very slowly, as if in slow motion, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught Lin Feng and the other two staring at him intently.

Their eyes met briefly, startling Yun Kai, who instinctively looked down again, but soon couldn't help but look up again.

"Their gaze?"

His brown pupils contracted slightly, and his heart trembled. He was surprised to find that Lin Feng's eyes were calm, and his dark eyes did not reveal any strangeness, disgust, or disdain.

From childhood to adulthood, even his biological parents, no matter how well they hid it, Yun Kai could still detect the subtle, barely perceptible change hidden deep in their eyes.

No one's eyes have ever been as calm as Lin Feng's.

He was so calm it was as if all the hair on his body had disappeared, his deformed bones had returned to normal, and his pupils had returned to black.
This was the first time since he was old enough to understand that he felt he was no different from anyone else.

"Hello, I am Lin Feng."

Seeing Yun Kai raise his head, Lin Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled and extended his right hand to him.

Lin Feng's actions left Yun Kai stunned, his body stiffening as if his blood had stopped flowing. He was both shocked and terrified, unable to believe that Lin Feng would actually shake his hand.
"Wow!"

The students watching gasped in amazement, finding it even more incredible.

Lin Feng is the only student at Jiangxin No.1 Middle School to make it onto the Glory Rising Star List.

Even in high school, he became a spokesperson for an advertisement. He defeated a martial artist with only the eighth level of body cultivation and was a genius who had reached the 21st of the 36 Body Refinement Techniques.

Although Lin Feng has not yet refined the demon spirit, he is already recognized as the number one among the 100,000 students of Jiangxin Middle School.

Everyone knows that in the future, once Lin Feng refines a high-level demon spirit, he will become a darling of major clubs, a professional player for Glory, and even an All-Star player.

Many people wanted to curry favor with him and get close to him, but they had no way to do so. Apart from Gao Hai and Yang Fan, Lin Feng had never taken the initiative to make any other friends.

And yet a half-orc who was discriminated against and rejected by them had this honor?
Yun Kai sensed the shock and even jealousy of his classmates, which made him even more uneasy.

He was afraid it was just a joke!
If you reach out your hand, all you'll get in return is a joke.

Because of his inferiority complex and fear, Yun Kai hesitated to reach out his hand.

He knew his actions would embarrass Lin Feng. He guessed that Lin Feng would quickly withdraw his hand, perhaps even becoming angry and cursing at him, or even beating him up. But he didn't expect that Lin Feng's expression and eyes would remain unchanged from beginning to end, just as calm as before.

"Hello, I am Lin Feng."

Lin Feng maintained the handshake gesture and repeated a sentence, knowing Yun Kai's inferiority complex and timidity.

A child who is different from others from birth and is treated as a monster faces bullying and humiliation from a young age. When faced with sudden kindness, his first reaction is not gratitude, but surprise and fear.

Lin Feng found it hard to believe that a tall man who was 1.9 meters tall would show such a timid expression.

The look of fear mixed with a hint of anticipation made Lin Feng feel a pang of heartache.

Lin Feng's original purpose in recruiting Yun Kai into the martial arts club was solely for the club's development.

Without a doubt, this is a once glorious family, a powerful clan whose ancestors produced extraordinary experts. Even though it has declined somewhat in recent years, its power and foundation are still unmatched by ordinary families.

If this family knew that Yun Kai was a peerless genius who inherited the extraordinary talents of his ancestors and possessed the ability to revert to ancestral demonic transformation, then what that would mean for a family that had experienced glory and was gradually declining would be self-evident.

At that time, Yun Kai will receive the support and guidance of the entire family.

The achievements Yun Kai can attain in the future will be enough to make everyone look up to him.

In Lin Feng's view, even someone as talented as Ye Qiu might not be able to rival Yun Kai in the future.

Lin Feng needs to ensure Yun Kai's character and loyalty. He may observe Yun Kai for a year or two before gradually awakening Yun Kai's talent.

But at this moment, Lin Feng abandoned his original plan.

Even if they become rivals in the future, he decided to awaken Yun Kai's talent immediately.

The look in that tall man's eyes was so heartbreaking.

Three months before the college entrance examination, he was pitied and ridiculed by many classmates because of Ya Ge.

He knew that feeling; it could make a person feel inferior, depressed, or even neurotic, and the world would seem to darken.

Therefore, he could clearly understand Yun Kai's feelings.

For Yun Kai, this discrimination, hatred, and even bullying accompanied him as he grew up and became his habit. As an "outcast" in the eyes of others, his world was almost completely dark compared to Lin Feng's.

"Hello, my name is Lin Feng."

Lin Feng said it for the third time, his tone sincere and tinged with heartache.

At this moment, perhaps sensing Lin Feng's emotions, Yun Kai was finally moved. He hesitated for a long time before slowly raising his arm, which had been resting under the table.

It was a claw like that of a wild beast.

Beneath the dry, golden fur, the knuckles were severely deformed, and the dark red nails exuded a bloody stench, inspiring fear. This beastly claw formed a stark contrast to Lin Feng's slender, fair hands.

If Yun Kai were in his demonic transformation state, his beast-like right hand would be perfectly normal and might even be the envy of many. Unfortunately, Yun Kai did not undergo demonic transformation, which is why he was rejected and hated by everyone.

"Don't worry, Lin Feng means well. Didn't you hear what the other students said? He never bullies the weak. He even taught that guy a lesson for me just now. He's said it three times already, so he might be getting impatient. I can't let him down. Even if it's just a joke, so what!"

Although he had mustered his courage and tried to convince himself, Yun Kai still didn't dare to look Lin Feng in the eye. His outstretched right hand trembled slightly, and his bent fingers appeared stiff. He stopped just two or three centimeters away from Lin Feng's hand.

"Hello, my name is Lin Feng."

Lin Feng grasped Yun Kai's hand first. His hairy palm was wet, clearly indicating that Yun Kai was very nervous.

Feeling the friendliness conveyed by Lin Feng, Yun Kai, who had been on edge, relaxed, and his tense body also relaxed.

Since Lin Feng shook hands with him, it couldn't be because he was playing a trick on him.

Those who truly despise him and want to play pranks on him will not have any contact with him.

Even when faced with hateful stares and bullying, Yun Kai remained unfazed. At this moment, his eyes reddened, and large tears streamed down his face.

"Hello, my name is Yun Kai."

The low, hissing sound seemed fierce, but it was somewhat stuttering and weak, revealing that Yun Kai was still somewhat self-conscious and nervous.

"Hello, my name is Gao Hai!"

As Lin Feng withdrew his arm, Gao Hai also extended his right hand.

Lin Feng had already explained to them what ancestral demonization was, as well as its rarity and power. At this moment, their seemingly terrifying appearance even made him extremely envious.

"Hello, I'm Yun Kai."

This time, Yun Kai looked at Gao Hai with obvious boldness. Although he found Gao Hai's gaze strange, it was clearly not rejection. So he no longer hesitated. After shaking hands with Gao Hai, Yang Fan also extended his right hand: "Hello, my name is Yang Fan."

"Hello, my name is Yun Kai."

This time, Yun Kai stopped stuttering and completely let down his guard. His tense body relaxed, and a stiff smile appeared on his seemingly fierce face.

This was the first time he had smiled since he was old enough to understand.

His smile was ugly, it made people's hearts ache.
