Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 68: How Much Is a Top Scorer Worth?


Senior Three, Class Seven!

The tiered classroom, able to hold over six hundred people, was packed with students crowding around Lin Feng's seat, as if there were endless questions they wanted to ask him.

"Lin Feng, you finally came back! You look great today."

"Lin Feng, I live in Tingfeng Garden too, we're neighbors!"

"You really rejected Ju Xing? That's one of the big names, how'd you let that go?"

"Lin Feng, could I get your signature? Just sign this photo—hey, it's not for me, it's for my sister. She's a huge fan, found out I'm your classmate, and has been bugging me about it every single day. She's driving me crazy."

"Brother Feng, let's take a photo together later. Gotta show off to my relatives." The classmates all looked at Lin Feng, their eyes glowing with envy and admiration.

Compared to others, Lin Feng's own classmates were even more shocked and unable to believe his transformation.

After Awakening Day, Lin Feng was recognized by everyone as the loser.

Lots of people failed to refine their Demon Spirits at that time, felt defeated, lost hope for their future. But when they saw Lin Feng, their mood would instantly get better.

No matter how bad, at least it wasn't as bad as Lin Feng!

That's what everyone thought.

Aside from a few who disliked Lin Feng and mocked and teased him, most classmates actually felt a bit sorry for him. But nobody could've imagined that in just a few days, Lin Feng pulled off an extravagant, stunning transformation.

This change was even more dramatic than Ya Ge's transformation from a cocoon into a butterfly.

While everyone else was still struggling for the university entrance exam, Lin Feng seemed like he'd already peaked—getting endorsements, rejecting three big clubs, becoming a celebrity.

In Jiang City, when it comes to faculty and university entrance exam scores, First Middle School is considered the best. Every year, over thirty students are admitted to the Three Heroic Academies, and over three hundred get into the Nine Elite Academies.

This Awakening Day, thanks to Ye Qiu's meteoric rise, First Middle School became famous nationwide, a synonym for top schools, and the number one pick for all parents.

Jiangxin Middle School, meanwhile, always hovered around third or fourth in the rankings, but because of Lin Feng, now it looks like it could move up to second.

Lin Feng's emergence made Jiangxin Middle School's reputation soar.

South Yeqiu, North Linfeng—that title made students from both schools compare every aspect of the two.

Besides admiring and worshipping Lin Feng, the classmates were also jealous of Gao Hai.

Lin Feng gave Gao Hai an apartment worth more than seven million; that story had already spread through the class. Everyone was jealous and bitter about Gao Hai's stupid good luck!

So many people work so hard their whole lives just to get a place in the Inner City, and Gao Hai just got it handed to him?

"Mm."

Faced with all this enthusiasm, Lin Feng was a bit cold—not exactly rude, but definitely not warm.

To Lin Feng, this scene felt so familiar, just with the roles reversed.

He didn't respond to the requests for photos or autographs. With more than six hundred people in the class, just taking one picture per person would take hours. And that's not counting other classes—how could he possibly keep up?

Lin Feng's attitude was still friendly enough, but everyone could tell he was just going through the motions. That made a lot of people curl their lips and look at him with disdain, secretly grumbling, "So what if he made the Glory Alliance rookie list and got an endorsement, what's he showing off for?"

Even though many were unhappy, nobody dared to mock him to his face like they used to.

Lin Feng was always famous for being tough—at Thunder Martial Arts Dojo, even First Grade Martial Artists got beaten up by him. Didn't you see even the Elite Martial Arts Club members sitting quietly now?

Let alone everyone else.

Plenty of students left in small groups, annoyed, whispering carefully to each other.

"Big deal! Think he's a real celebrity now."

"Yeah, hasn't even become a Demon Spirit Master yet, what's he so smug about? Probably all talk!"

"Last place on the Glory Alliance rookie list; if he slips up, he'll be off it by next month. Let's see him strut then."

"Refined an Earth Chart Demon Spirit, even the Cloud-Stepping Beast wouldn't look down on that. Who believes him? I think he's just making it up."

After refining Nightmare, Lin Feng's perception was several times stronger, so it was easy for him to hear the mocking and gossip—but he didn't care at all.

This indifference wasn't from getting cocky—it was because he felt it was all pointless.

If he were a regular high school student, sudden fame might be pretty enjoyable—standing in the spotlight, surrounded by adoring fans.

But Lin Feng was different. That kind of praise and envy didn't give him any sense of accomplishment at all.

What he wanted was nothing like his classmates' dreams.

While his classmates worried and struggled over the entrance exam, he was concerned about Nightmare's five million a month food expenses.

If it wasn't to recruit Martial Arts Club members, he wouldn't even bother coming back to school.

Even though Lin Feng was kind of dismissive, even cold, lots of girls still wouldn't leave his side.

Lin Feng was now the hottest celebrity in Jiang City, and might become a pro player in the Glory Alliance—super attractive for a lot of girls.

Plus, Lin Feng and Ya Ge had broken up. This was too good of an opportunity to miss.

"Big Head, can you make some room for me?"

Just then, a girl tugged on Gao Hai's sleeve and said, all pitiful.

As for the class's other students, Lin Feng had already forgotten most of them, except special cases like Yang Fan. But he recognized this girl. If he remembered right, her name was Miao Meng—pretty famous in Senior Three, Class Seven.

Miao Meng was above average in looks—not super pretty, but she sure knew how to dress well.
