Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 783: Chapter 587: Royal Descendants Army

When Alice discovered Lin Feng’s figure, her body became stiff for a moment.

She first was stunned, her eyes somewhat confused; soon, however, surprise took over.

Among the 1,751 students, regardless of talent and strength, there was truly no one more famous than Lin Feng.

Even those who had already become kings were no exception.

Lin Feng had numerous fans worldwide.

And he gained his followers due to incredible achievements, earning high loyalty.

He was completely different from those professional players and popular idols.

Among the students, he was the one with the highest bounty. This alone was enough to demonstrate his achievements.

With Ye Xing and others successfully becoming apprentices, no one doubts the potential of the Avengers Alliance anymore.

As the captain of the Avengers Alliance, Lin Feng’s strength has always been a hot topic. Even if he possesses the strength of a half-step king, no one would be too surprised.

"Did Lin Feng reject the two Extraordinary Tutors to choose me?"

Alice asked herself within.

Although the fact is right in front of her, it still seems hard to believe.

Could it be due to her looks?

Aside from her appearance, she couldn’t understand why Lin Feng would choose her as his tutor.

What quality does she have to be his tutor?

Alice fell into deep self-doubt.

But after doubt came boundless joy.

If not for the need to maintain composure as a tutor, she couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud.

The surprise was so sudden and so great. Alice looked toward the direction of Alfonso.

Alfonso had not yet filled his quota of students.

His examination required defeating two werewolves.

The imprisoned werewolves were full of hatred towards humans; driven by hopelessness, they would find every means to kill the examining students.

This examination, named "Life and Death," was drenched in blood and required the students to take turns. It would not end quickly.

At this moment, Alfonso also looked toward Alice; seeing her turn, his previously calm expression turned cold.

He had been following Alice’s movements.

When Chen Dali and the others passed the examination, he hadn’t cared. But when Lin Feng appeared, a trace of unease crept into his heart.

He couldn’t understand why Lin Feng apprenticed under Alice.

No matter the reason, it wasn’t good news for him.

Although Lin Feng wasn’t a king yet, his achievements showed him as a reckless madman.

Just like those lunatics in the Pure Land, doing whatever they wished without considering consequences.

Moreover, he was the captain of the Avengers Alliance.

And that alliance had limitless potential; even as an Extraordinary Powerhouse, he dared not underestimate it.

At the same time, Lin Feng was a candidate Apostle of Pure Land and might join Pure Land in the future.

"Help me!"

Suddenly, a piercing cry for help rang out, but Alfonso paid no heed, not even looking, allowing the two werewolves to mutilate the examining student.

Behind Alfonso, there were five more students, their expressions equally cold, like emotionless beasts.

In over an hour, 21 students took the exam, with five killed; severed limbs littered the ground. The entire examination site resembled a slaughterhouse.

...

"I suddenly feel like I can do it again."

Chen Dali said earnestly, his tone hinting at surprise.

Apprenticing under Alice without elimination was certainly a joyous occasion.

However, knowing that it was due to connections with Second Uncle that he succeeded made Chen Dali somewhat despondent and worried about future ridicule from other students.

Ridiculed for being a relation-backed candidate.

Ridiculed this place as a refuge for failures.

With Lin Feng’s addition, that worry vanished completely.

Even if backed by relations, what of it?

Lin Feng rejected the invitation cards of two Extraordinary Tutors and apprenticed under Alice, proving their choice wasn’t wrong.

Chen Dali wasn’t alone in this thought.

These students were already among the weakest, succeeding primarily through connections, not concerned about future competition with Lin Feng.

As for the tutor’s attention, nobody cared about it at all.

They hadn’t intended to apprentice under Alice, nor did they believe Alice could teach them any valuable experiences and Secret Skills.

Frequently exposed to Emperors, they really didn’t regard a middle-rank Spirit King highly.

No competition meant no conflict.

Having a strong team leader was undoubtedly good news. Even amidst eventual competition with students under other tutors or conflicts, they wouldn’t struggle to find support.

Though unsure of Lin Feng’s true strength, many were already eager to seek backing from him.

Lin Feng’s arrival instantly excited Chen Dali and others who had felt somewhat down, drawing shining eyes from Mosi of the Mormon Conglomerate.

"He is indeed quite handsome."

Though there was over a ten-year age gap, she didn’t mind a cross-national sibling-romance.

At this time, three students were ahead of Lin Feng, waiting for their examinations.

They too had insider information, treating Alice as the final ’backup’.

Lin Feng’s appearance made their expressions change repeatedly, morphing from nonchalant to tense and serious instantly.

They initially thought they would just go through the motions, unaware they would compete with Lin Feng instead.

Due to Lin Feng’s appearance, the trio’s disregard for Alice vanished entirely, preparing to give their all in the upcoming examination.

Lin Feng’s presence in Alice’s exam drew the attention of numerous students.

Most were merely surprised, whereas a few seemed anxious, rushing towards Alice’s Golden Ladder quickly.

In just two minutes, over ten students had gathered behind Lin Feng.

Seeing the growing number of students brought a smile to Alice’s lips.

With more students and more choices, naturally, the examination standard must be raised a notch.

This time, without an emperor’s backing, don’t even think about it.

With the standard raised, two students without adequate backgrounds were crushed and eliminated by Alice’s Second Incarnation.

When it was Lin Feng’s turn, both sides ’fought’ dozens of rounds; the Second Incarnation ’narrowly lost,’ dissipating into oblivion.

Lin Feng successfully apprenticed.

"Greetings, Tutor."

Lin Feng slowly approached Alice, bowing.

"Mm."

As Alice observed Lin Feng, she grew increasingly satisfied. She restrained the smile threatening to break free, nodding slightly.

"If I came later, I surely wouldn’t pass the examination."

Mosi exclaimed in relief.

Among the two recently eliminated students, one she knew well enough; their background wasn’t much inferior, yet they were mercilessly killed off instantly.

Clearly, Alice hadn’t factored them in at all.

When Lin Feng appeared, everyone greeted him warmly.

"Lin Feng, I am Chen Dali, also from Hua Country."

Chen Dali spoke first, sharing nationality with Lin Feng, sure it would bring benefits if they got along.

"I am Mosi."

"I am Karijie."

The rest quickly introduced themselves.

Even though they were older, faced with the renowned and brilliant Lin Feng, they dared not behave arrogantly, instead appearing overtly enthusiastic.

"Hello, I am Lin Feng."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

Without guessing wrongly, before him were five men and two women, totaling seven people, all recruits via relations.

After some idle chatter, Lin Feng confirmed his suspicions, greatly exceeding his expectations.

Among seven, five had emperor backing.

This team was entirely composed of the Royal Descendants Army!

"Lin Feng, why did you apprentice under Alice too?" After brief pleasantries, Chen Dali asked.

The others looked at Lin Feng, curious to hear his reasons.

"Firstly, it’s surely for the tutor’s strength; secondly, her looks—which aren’t you drawn to?"

Lin Feng replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Great minds think alike; I mostly came for the looks, for becoming a king is all about luck anyway."

Chen Dali joked.

He had indeed come for the looks in Alice’s examination, unexpectedly passing it.

"Same here, I was naturally Alice’s fan."

"In the quest for tutors, why choose an old geezer instead of someone pretty?"

"High looks often mean good teaching skills too."

The others chimed in, growing excited as they spoke.

With beautiful women, regardless of identity or age, men always manage to strike up a conversation.

Everyone saw Lin Feng was joking and didn’t pry further.

There was no point in asking; cultivating good relations was key. If ties were strong, one might join the Avengers Alliance in the future and hit a jackpot.

One hour later, Alice filled her quota of students.

A total of fifteen students, nine with emperor backing, five from prominent families and conglomerates, leaving Lin Feng as the sole one without any support.

An additional half-hour passed as the last Golden Ladder vanished, marking the examination’s end.
