Red Cloud University.

First floor of the Library Pavilion.

Gao Hai and his group sat quietly on the bench, the air thick with a suffocating tension.

They had been stationed here since Lin Feng entered the Demon Spirit Realm.

Originally, they thought they would only need to wait a few hours for Lin Feng to return, but no one expected they would have to wait three days.

"Brother Feng... why isn't he out yet?" Gao Hai stared intently at the staircase, his gaze somewhat vacant.

His ten fingers twisted restlessly, his legs trembling a bit. After not having rested properly for three consecutive days, Gao Hai's eyes were bloodshot, and he was mentally exhausted.

Not only Gao Hai, but Dong Yunan was also in the same state.

For these three days, they hadn't left the Library Pavilion even once.

As the news of Lin Feng refining a First Grade Demon Spirit spread, the martial artists' forum and news media were abuzz with heated discussions about him.

As time went on, the matter grew larger in scale, even ordinary people who didn't follow martial arts had heard of it.

The national top scorer in the college entrance examination turned out to be a fraudster, which in itself was a huge topic of discussion.

Cheater became synonymous with Lin Feng's name.

In the virtual online world, mockery and insults towards Lin Feng could be found everywhere.

Yang Fan didn't even dare to log into his forum account, let alone open his phone.

Many firms and companies that had sought Lin Feng's endorsement publicly denounced this fraudulent behavior online.

There were also many posts on the internet personally attacking Lin Feng.

For these three days, this matter had firmly held onto the top spot in the news headlines.

Then there was the life-and-death duel and the billion-dollar bet that Lin Feng agreed to, which sparked a media frenzy.

It captured the nation's attention!

Whether Lin Feng deliberately deceived or if there was some secret to this matter, Lin Feng was indeed courageous and manly.

This was something no one could deny, and part of the audience even converted into fans because of it.

Buzz buzz...

The sound of a phone vibrating in a pocket rang out, Gao Hai didn't need to check to know it was Lin Feng's mother, Lin Fang, calling.

Every hour, Lin Fang would call.

"Aunt Lin, Brother Feng isn't out yet."

"Alright, I'll inform you as soon as Brother Feng is out."

After a brief exchange, Gao Hai hung up the phone without much consolation.

Because any consoling words had already been said enough in the past two days.

The news media had reported it, any words of comfort seemed unconvincing.

"Don't worry, you still don't know Brother Feng's strength."

Seeing Gao Hai on the verge of tears, Yun Kai patted him on the shoulder, offering some comfort.

Although it was meant to be consoling, deep down, Yun Kai was just as anxious.

Yun Kai had confidence in Lin Feng's abilities, but three days had already passed.

Three days!

Who enters the Demon Spirit Realm and stays for three days straight?

Even without having entered the Demon Spirit Realm, Yun Kai knew that encounters with alien races were not uncommon, and one could run into alien talents at any moment.

Red Cloud University's past holders of the First Throne entered the Demon Spirit Realm and within hours would encounter alien races and be forced to flee.

Some unlucky fellows encountered alien races shortly after entering, having to escape without absorbing any soul skills, gaining nothing.

Even Ye Qiu only stayed for three hours before being forced to flee the Demon Spirit Realm.

Aside from the dead, no one has ever stayed in the Demon Spirit Realm for over a day, it's rare even to last half a day.

And Lin Feng had already been in there for three days.

The originally arranged life-and-death battle and wager had ended in nothing due to Lin Feng's absence.

In many people's eyes, Lin Feng was presumed dead in the Demon Spirit Realm.

Now, the mockery and outcry against Lin Feng on the forum had died down a lot.

What's the point of protesting when the person is dead!

It's just a pity that Lin Feng had just earned a hefty sum and died before spending it.

As for the advertisers and Juxing Club who had signed Lin Feng for endorsements, they could only resign themselves to bad luck, what else could they do?

.....

Ninth floor of the Library Pavilion.

In a secret chamber.

Bu Zheng and Summoner Fang De had been in the chamber for three days.

Since Lin Feng hadn't left the Demon Spirit Realm, they couldn't leave either.

After waiting for over a day, Fang De was already impatient, and three days of waiting had made him visibly irritable.

"He's probably long dead in the Demon Spirit Realm, wasting this opportunity in vain. It would have been better to give it to Yun Kai to save a life." In the dim chamber, Fang De couldn't help but sneer.

He was against Lin Feng entering the Demon Spirit Realm from the start.

In his eyes, refining a First Grade Demon Spirit was better left undone, as it held no training value, and focusing on martial arts would be more worthwhile.

As for entering the Demon Spirit Realm, it was simply a waste of his soul power and the energy of the Space Crystal Stone.

Waste of resources!

What kind of soul skills could one possibly absorb from a First Grade wasted Demon Spirit?

"Don't say such ominous things, Lin Feng isn't dead yet."

Bu Zheng looked at Fang De with a slight frown and said calmly, "The scale you refined hasn't sensed anything, has it? Even if it were captured by an alien, it wouldn't be without time to crush the scale."

"Perhaps he lost it while escaping, maybe he was ambushed by an alien and didn't have time to crush the scale." Fang De speculated.

"Besides the Demon Spirits, the Demon Spirit Realm is empty, how can they ambush?" Bu Zheng asked.

"There's also the possibility of being devoured by a Demon Spirit, absorbing a soul skill, and getting counter-attacked by the Demon Spirit!" Fang De continued to speculate.

Lin Feng had refined a First Grade Demon Spirit, the lowest level of Demon Spirits.

And in the Demon Spirit Realm, high-level Demon Spirits were more numerous than low-level Demon Beasts, making it extremely difficult to find low-level Demon Spirits.

A First Grade Demon Spirit can only absorb low-level soul skills. If one were to absorb mid or high-level soul skills, the possibility of failure is high, plus there's a risk of backlash.
