Chapter 800: Chapter 603: The First King of the Avengers Alliance
Time quietly passed by, and only three days remained in the three-month mentor teaching period.
During this time, 42 trainees achieved power, and together with those who had previously done so, out of 1110 trainees, nearly fifty had become Kings.
There might even be more.
Because some trainees, even after achieving power, remain low-key and do not inform others.
Among them, some simply do not wish to show off, while most aim to hide their strength for the upcoming third plan.
As the mentor teaching period was about to end, watching their companions achieve power, those who could not break through felt very anxious.
Instead of indulging themselves, they expressed their anxiety by further compressing their already limited sleep time, working to the point of madness with their cultivation.
Spiritual Power Hall.
Among all the venues, it is the most expensive, covering an area of several thousand square meters. The concentration of spiritual power here is dozens of times greater than outside, and it is supplied all day long, making it the best place for trainees to attempt breakthroughs.
At this moment, more than three hundred trainees were sitting cross-legged inside the hall. Accompanied by their breathing, their chests gently heaved up and down as the dense spiritual power, appearing like mist, was inhaled into their bodies, nourishing every corner.
Lin Feng was also among them, sitting next to Yun Kai and others. They were all silently cultivating, with no one chatting.
In this quiet atmosphere, Yun Kai’s body suddenly trembled slightly, and with his brow tightly furrowed, he seemed to be enduring pain.
"Hmm?"
Lin Feng opened his eyes and immediately noticed Yun Kai’s abnormality.
Just as he was about to inquire, Yun Kai’s body began to emit a brilliant golden light. Dark golden lines, resembling meridians, extended from Yun Kai’s hands all the way to his neck.
These dark golden lines flowed like water, shining splendidly.
As Yun Kai transformed, a large amount of spiritual qi seemed to be attracted, violently converging towards him, causing a fierce roar.
The spiritual power rapidly surged, forming a massive vortex that gradually engulfed Yun Kai’s figure.
At this moment, not only Lin Feng, but everyone else was also startled by this sudden commotion and opened their eyes. Following the fluctuations of the spiritual power, they located Yun Kai and were filled with shock and envy.
"Is Yun Kai about to achieve power?"
"Judging by this scene, it’s probably the case. He is most likely condensing the life soul."
"Is the legendary ancestral demonization truly so monstrous?"
"I feel like I’ve lived this long in vain."
"A King at 22, really?"
The trainees murmured among themselves.
This wasn’t the first time they had witnessed such a scene; sometimes, they saw it two or three times in a day, but they were never this shocked.
Yun Kai is only 22 years old!
What does it mean to be 22?
Among the trainees present, some were already sixty or seventy years old, and their children were older than Yun Kai. Some of them even had grandchildren.
The strong wind disheveled their hair as Yun Kai absorbed most of the spiritual power within the hall.
The golden light around Yun Kai grew more dazzling, even turning the verdant vortex of spiritual power into gold. A terrifying suppression, the aura of the King of Hundred Beasts, surged from his body, spreading around him, gradually condensing into a golden lion.
This lion was somewhat blurred, standing five meters tall, with extremely exaggerated muscle lines, and walked upright. The lion had a mane cascading down to its haunches, and its entire body seemed cast in gold, mighty and majestic. It also bore the same dark golden lines as Yun Kai.
Yun Kai was situated at the chest of the Golden Lion King.
"He succeeded."
Lin Feng looked up at the giant lion before him, and his previously tense emotions were replaced by joy. Yun Kai had already condensed his life soul, becoming a Spirit King, and also became the first King of the Avengers Alliance.
"The new waves of the Yangtze River drive on those before them."
Ye Xing, though thrilled, couldn’t help but sigh.
He originally thought he would be the first in the alliance to achieve power.
As the eldest brother, he was unexpectedly surpassed by his six-year-younger little brother. This feeling was both proud and somewhat melancholic, leaving his emotions conflicted.
"You can’t compare; how could you match up to someone with ancestral demonization?" Yun Tianqi patted Ye Xing’s shoulder in consolation.
He was comforting Ye Xing, but also himself.
He was even a year older than Ye Xing.
In the Avengers Alliance, other than Dean Bu, he was the eldest.
"He became a King!"
Ye Qiu’s gaze was filled with shock and a trace of bewilderment at this moment.
Like Ye Xing, Ye Qiu’s feelings were also complex.
Ye Qiu and Yun Kai are of the same age, with Ye Qiu even being two months older than Yun Kai.
On Awakening Day, his Refinement of the Thorny Demon Dragon made him famous nationwide, recognized as an unparalleled genius.
The Thorny Demon Dragon he refined on Awakening Day held the highest grade in the national records over the years.
According to what the media said at the time, the Thorny Demon Dragon was not a Demon Spirit that someone his age could refine.
Even among students from around the world, the Thorny Demon Dragon could rank third, with the first and second not being refined on Awakening Day.
When Ye Qiu rose to fame, Yun Kai was still unknown.
Yun Kai possesses a rare bloodline talent, and the Golden Lion King he refined is also an Earth Chart Demon Spirit.
The combination of the bloodline inherited from the Extraordinary Ancestors and the same kind of Demon Spirit as the Extraordinary Ancestors results in an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
Even with so many unique advantages, Ye Qiu does not believe his talent is inferior to his.
Merely in terms of Soul Cultivator talent, he is not inferior to any peer, not even Lin Feng.
This is his pride, and also his belief.
"If Yun Kai can do it, so can I."
Ye Qiu murmured to himself, his eyes gradually shifting from confusion to determination. He moved his gaze from Yun Kai, scanned his surroundings, and closed his eyes again.
Five minutes later, the piercing whistling noise subsided, Spiritual Power gradually calmed, and as the cyan vortex dissipated, the domineering silhouette of the Lion King also scattered into shimmering golden light. Yun Kai opened his eyes after landing, his eyes filled with joy.
"Well done, Kai."
"Congratulations."
"Emperor Kai is awesome!"
"Good for you, Kai. You even got ahead of me for first place. Your excellence makes me, as your elder brother, feel quite ashamed."
Lin Feng and others stepped forward to congratulate Yun Kai, as he was the first King in the Avengers Alliance, which held great significance.
The urgency and crisis of the upcoming third plan also lessened considerably due to Yun Kai becoming a King.
"Hehe."
In the face of everyone’s congratulations and teasing, Yun Kai didn’t know what to say, simply giving a somewhat goofy smile.
He hadn’t expected to be the first among his teammates to become a King.
In his view, it would have been Ye Xing or Brother Feng who would be the first.
"Such a big celebration, we must celebrate it well."
Lin Feng said with a smile.
Yun Kai still laughed foolishly, unsure of what to say.
Because Yun Kai became a King, students who were originally engrossed in cultivation stopped their training, unable to enter the state of cultivation again.
If it weren’t Yun Kai becoming a King, but another student, as long as they weren’t part of Lin Feng’s group, their feelings wouldn’t be so complex.
Apart from envy and shock, they were also awestruck by the power of the Avengers Alliance.
Even though Yun Kai is extraordinarily gifted, he’s still young, and even reaching the Ninth Grade, no one expected him to become a King in such a short time.
At the start, everyone thought the Avengers Alliance was there just to ’keep up’ and would soon be eliminated.
Yun Kai becoming a King represented not just himself but also suggested that Lin Feng and others could possibly become Kings in a short time.
More than a dozen Kings, so young and so talented, no force or nation could afford to ignore such an alliance.
"Roar!"
As everyone was still immersed in feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred, a low roar echoed.
Amidst the low roar, the previously vanished whistling noise re-emerged, with a large amount of Spiritual Power rapidly gathering in the previous direction.
"No way."
"No way."
"Damn!"
As exclamations of surprise arose, a figure covered in thorns was being swallowed by a cyan vortex, a pair of dark golden vertical pupils flickering with a hint of coldness and madness.
The cyan vortex did not completely engulf the figure, instead, it was overshadowed by intense black light. A dragon roar that could shake the heavens and the earth sounded, and amidst the roar, a pair of huge dark wings unfurled suddenly, startling many and causing those nearby to quickly back away.
The wings stretched five meters long, and with their appearance, a massive dragon silhouette rapidly took shape.
"Thorny Demon Dragon."
Looking at the black dragon with wings and thorns all over, feeling the Dragon Mighty even more terrifying than the previous Golden Lion King, many students’ faces turned slightly pale, eyes filled with disbelief as their minds churned with waves of shock.
