Free Web NovelChapter 785: Chapter 589: The Shock Brought by the Avengers Alliance
The King Becoming Project, Second Phase, Second Episode—Tutor Assessment Battle will air tonight at ten o’clock Shangjing time, right on schedule.
It’s not time yet, but people are already home early, waiting in front of their TVs.
Even though the show starts at ten in the evening, a lot of companies gave today as a special day off.
On such an important day, who can focus on work?
Even if you go to work, you’re just slacking off. Better to take the day off and rest well, so you can watch this visual feast that could change the fate of humanity in your best condition.
The whole world is consumed by this tutor assessment. All entertainment programs are paused, and the attention it gets is hundreds of times greater than the Glory League.
Every corner of the globe, day or night, people are talking about it. Bars and restaurants are packed, every place is filled with restless energy.
Shangjing.
"Why hasn’t it started yet!"
Lele is eating snacks as usual, mindlessly repeating the same sentence.
"Still ten minutes to go."
Ke Rou glances at the TV and says, her tone a little impatient.
Lele is so annoying that she’s getting flustered.
Lin Fang and Old Ma are nervous too, palms sweaty.
This tutor assessment means everything to Lin Feng.
According to the media, as long as he succeeds in becoming a disciple, he’s got one foot in the King Realm.
Fail the assessment, and you’re eliminated on the spot.
This round will eliminate 641 people—over a third are getting cut.
Above the clouds.
Villa 46.
The Yang Clan is also waiting for the show to start.
The King Becoming Project isn’t just a show—it’s a program to fight off the invasion from the Divine Martial Continent and cultivate top combatants.
Not exaggerating at all, this project concerns the future of the human race.
The new Kings who will emerge will change the domestic power landscape—even someone like Yang Qingtian is paying special attention.
Besides, Ya Ningbing is participating in this tutor assessment.
"Wonder if Sister Ning Bing can become a disciple?"
"She definitely can. The only question is whether she can study under Reimer."
"They’re eliminating over six hundred people this time. Succeeding as a disciple is enough—who would dare to pick an Extraordinary Tutor?"
"Sister Ning Bing is only 23, to get here is already amazing. Even if she fails, she can join the next round."
"If you say that, Lin Feng and Yun Kai are even more incredible—they’re only 21."
The younger generation chat noisily.
Maybe hearing a familiar name, the adults’ expressions turn a bit complicated.
The illegitimate child the clan had abandoned and written off as worthless has grown to this stage.
Grown to the point where even they have to pay attention.
And he’s the captain of the Avengers Alliance.
This alliance, only two years old, has seventeen people entering the tutor assessment this time.
Even if only three or four succeed as disciples, the alliance’s future is limitless. Even the Yang Race has to take them seriously.
Yang Qing looks calm, but he’s nowhere near that composed inside.
After all, that’s his child.
The child he gave up on.
In his mind, Lin Feng’s chances of becoming a disciple are basically a hundred percent.
According to the rules, before the assessment, a tutor should give him an invitation card.
Maybe even an Extraordinary Tutor.
If Lin Feng succeeds, maybe in under a year he’ll become a King.
Become someone like him.
At that point, he won’t have any advantages left.
"No way!"
Yang Xingnan stares at the TV, muttering to himself.
Both children of Yang Qing—Lin Feng’s brilliance just makes Xingnan look ordinary, even like a failure.
These past two years, no matter how hard he tried, he could sense his dad’s disappointment.
Dad never said anything, but his look and actions made it clear.
Dad stopped encouraging him. These past few months, he doesn’t even pay attention.
It feels like he’s been abandoned.
Just like that illegitimate child he abandoned before.
Yang Xingnan doesn’t want Lin Feng to succeed as a disciple.
He doesn’t even believe Lin Feng can do it.
Lin Feng is just 21—how could he possibly become a King!
...
In a pitch-black room.
The only light comes from a phone screen.
Ya Ge finished dinner with her family, then hid in her room by herself, waiting for the show to start.
She wants to see how far that boy has come.
She wants to see the gap between her and him.
She wants to see if what the netizens said is true—just how blind she really was!
While waiting, her sharp hearing catches voices from outside the door.
It’s her parents and little brother.
"If only we’d known Lin Feng was this talented, we never should’ve treated him that way!"
"This is your fault. When we moved, you saw him and pretended not to, clinging to the rich and snubbing the poor. Now look, we’ve been slapped in the face."
"Don’t look down on poor kids! Thirty years East, thirty years West, haven’t you heard that saying? I always said Brother Feng was awesome. You people didn’t listen. Do you believe it now?"
"You brat, needing a beating? And keep it down, don’t let your sister hear."
"Enough—stop yapping! The show’s starting."
With tens of billions watching worldwide, this three-hour show runs without a single commercial.
It’s like being in a movie theater, watching an electrifying action flick that keeps your adrenaline surging—you stay hyped up the whole time.
Three hours later when it’s over, everyone wishes for more. The excitement lingers, impossible to calm down.
There’s a crazy urge to let loose.
Nobody is more pumped than Hua Country.
People leave their homes, pouring into the streets, cheering wildly, letting all that feeling out.
They’re not excited just because the show was awesome—it’s all because the Avengers Alliance is absolutely incredible.
Seventeen people from the Avengers Alliance missed the tutor assessment—three got invitation cards, seven passed, ten became disciples in total.
All upgraded!
They even have three spare slots for helpers.
Countless people are shocked and proud.
Everyone’s talking about the Avengers Alliance—nobody cares much about the other contestants.
"I wanted to see Emperor Kai’s Golden Battle Armor, but I didn’t expect him to get Zuo Ziyu’s invitation card just like that."
"Same with Ye Qiu—I was waiting to see his Demon Transformation. The Thorny Demon Dragon is way too cool."
"I didn’t think Ye Xing could go Third Frenzy. When I saw that bloody beam of light, I nearly pissed myself. God, that was close, just barely made it."
"Yang Ningbing was smart too, she actually passed the assessment with [Thunder Tribulation]."
"Lin Feng turned down invitation cards from two Extraordinary Tutors and picked Alice—I smell something fishy."
"Alice’s [Second Incarnation] Secret Skill isn’t super strong, so why pick her? Does he have a thing for Alice or what?"
"It’s the only explanation."
"All upgraded—so do you think when the King Becoming Project is done, the Avengers Alliance might have seventeen Kings?"
Everyone cheered and discussed loudly.
The Avengers Alliance is Hua Country’s favorite alliance, no doubt about it.
It’s an organization created by a bunch of top students still in college.
They’re young, not afraid of death, and keep winning glorious battles.
Honestly, they’ve grown up with the public keeping an eye on them.
Everyone loved these kids, but now they see them rising to Ninth Grade, about to become Kings—how could they not be thrilled?
Being young means hope.
The Glory Wars are such a global hit. Apart from all the big matches and pro players, it’s also because it represents hope.
Because you get to witness the rise of super geniuses.
One true super genius could become the child of destiny who changes the world.
This is the real reason the Glory Wars exploded in popularity.
Now, super geniuses have appeared.
And there are seventeen of them—together in one alliance!
They’re people you watched grow up and already love—how could you not go wild over them!
....
Above the clouds.
Yang Qingtian stares at the names announced on TV, unable to recover for a long time.
Ten disciples successful, all upgraded.
This moment, he feels a crushing sense of defeat.
As the Clan Leader of the Yang Race and a Peak Martial King, he’s never felt this way before.
"I alone am the Glory Race."
The arrogant claim he once made, now comes back to slap him in the face over and over.
That illegitimate child the Yang Race abandoned, single-handedly created an unprecedented alliance in only three years.
An alliance that now draws the entire world’s attention.
The Yang Race’s so-called glory and strength is nothing compared to this alliance.
Even if they haven’t become Kings yet, they already surpass anything the Yang Race can compare to.
.....
In the dark room, the girl turns off her phone screen. As the last bit of light vanishes, the room goes quiet, with only a faint sigh hanging in the air, full of helplessness...
