Chapter 697: Chapter 515: The World’s Geniuses Driven Mad
Over the past year, the news about Lin Feng squad has been one of the hottest topics.
Even non-gossip news quickly climbs to the top headlines.
Their popularity rivals that of Glory Professional Players, and even surpasses it.
Whether it’s the squad members’ talents or their incredible and brilliant achievements, they’re worth the media’s and fans’ discussions and hot debates.
Lin Feng squad is known for stirring things up, but in some aspects, they are very low-key.
If they don’t stir things up, they almost never appear in public; sometimes they disappear for half a year.
They spend far more time in other-dimensional space than in the city; it’s not easy for fans to meet them.
Unlike those professional players, Lin Feng squad doesn’t have dedicated accounts or staff to maintain fans through special means; they don’t even have a public account.
Despite this, the number of Lin Feng squad’s fans is vast, already exceeding hundreds of millions, and their loyalty is very high!
Even if not a fan, no one would dislike them.
No team matches them in terms of fan numbers.
The reason for having so many fans, apart from their outstanding talent, is because Lin Feng squad’s public image is extremely perfect!
This isn’t an image cultivated by management, but one given by a series of brilliant achievements.
It’s an image recognized by people!
This is why they can gain fans’ affection.
Lin Feng squad’s popularity was already high before, but when the news reported on their group killing of an Upper Rank Spirit King, the heat directly peaked.
Not just in Hua Country, but it also sparked heated discussions worldwide.
Major factions have noticed this young but brilliantly accomplished squad.
When they heard Lin Feng squad was going to hold a news conference, major media outlets went crazy, and so did the fans.
On the Martial Artist forum, the post only mentioned revealing an important announcement, with nothing else disclosed, this deliberate suspense annoyed people, but at the same time made them look forward to it.
Because this is Lin Feng squad!
A squad that loves stirring things up!
Before nightfall, the Dingsheng Hotel, which served as the venue for the press conference, was already packed.
Major news media sent people to snatch a good spot, some rushed to the hotel swiftly after the post was published.
Due to so many people, small media outlets without connections had no chance of getting in.
Meanwhile, outside the hotel, enthusiastic fans surrounded it, faces full of excitement, discussing what Lin Feng squad was about to announce.
Inside the hotel.
Presidential suite.
After dinner, Lin Feng squad wore a uniform of red and black, but the medal representing the "Zhan Family" on the left chest had been removed.
"So many people."
Ye Xing stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the densely packed crowd below, and said.
"The more people, the bigger the commotion, the better."
Lin Feng sat on the sofa, speaking calmly.
Zhouyun City has already calmed down and begun rebuilding, but the oppressive mood hasn’t disappeared.
Although anticipated, the results of their revealed strength were still somewhat unexpected.
These days, they have attracted attention from various factions, accompanied by all kinds of pressure.
A group capable of killing an Upper Rank Spirit King and possibly breaking through to become a King soon after, such a force is no longer just a squad.
With their talents, once they become Kings, they’ll belong to the stronger part among Kings.
Especially considering how young Lin Feng squad is, with their exceptional talents, they have unlimited potential in the future.
Many recognize the idea that their presence is the Prototype of the Pure Land.
These days, Lin Feng squad faced immense pressure, even though these factions haven’t shown malice, it’s certain they want to control them.
This includes high-ranking military officials.
The greatest pressure comes from He Jun.
He Jun’s ability is too special.
With her, one can quickly enhance the strength of some talents, shortening their growth time.
Various factions have been continuously probing these days, some more tactfully, saying they are seeking cooperation.
While others directly express an intent to forcibly recruit.
Lin Feng feels the pressure growing; if it weren’t for their achievements being brilliant enough, their strength and potential both remarkable, and having some support, someone might have already tried to forcibly seize them.
To avoid trouble and because of some new ideas, he decided to hold a press conference.
"Don’t worry."
Seeing He Jun a bit nervous, Yun Kai patted her head, comforting her.
These days, He Jun has been under a lot of pressure, not just from the competition among major factions but also facing assassination threats.
Those who don’t want to see Lin Feng squad grow, the first person they’d want to eliminate is He Jun.
Currently, the bounty on He Jun has multiplied over ten times, reaching as high as 120 billion, not considering the reward, but just the bounty surpasses even Lin Feng.
This bounty is enough to show the alien race’s determination to kill her.
"Once the plan is over, it’ll be fine! Then we won’t have to worry anymore."
Yun Tianqi said with a smile.
The others also nodded one after another. As long as they become kings, all the pressure will disappear, and the problems will be solved.
Yun Tianqi looked at Lin Feng.
At this time, He Jun attracted the public’s attention. In people’s eyes, He Jun was the most crucial key to Lin Feng’s team. However, they didn’t know that the real core was Lin Feng.
It has always been Lin Feng!
Their true trump card is not their strength, but their Soul Skills.
A series of high-level Soul Skill combinations.
Their Soul Skill combinations are near perfect. With Lin Feng’s help, Diamond Soul Skills became standard for everyone.
One must know that for Spirit King experts, Diamond Soul Skills are very rare. Some have none, ordinarily one or two, and even at most not more than three.
Yet, the members of Lin Feng’s team averaged five Diamond Soul Skills, while the rest were almost all Purple Gold Soul Skills.
This is not exaggeration but luxury beyond belief!
Moreover, these are the Diamond Soul Skills that best match the Lifebound Demon Spirit and career planning.
Half of the members even possess Divine Level Soul Skills.
A monstrous Soul Skill combination is Lin Feng’s team’s hidden trump card all along!
This is the trump card Lin Feng achieved at the cost of what could be considered his life!
"Hmm."
Opposite, Yun Kai gently comforted, and He Jun nodded, showing a slightly forced smile.
....
The venue for the news conference was set in the hotel meeting room on the top floor, requiring not much setup.
A 500-square-meter meeting room with 568 seats was already full, even the aisles were crowded, appearing extremely packed.
This conference attracted not only major media, but also various forces and government executives sent people to attend.
Previously, Lin Feng’s team had high popularity, but never had this level of importance. Now, no matter how much attention is given, it’s not an exaggeration.
"What do you think the news will be this time?"
A middle-aged, slightly balding journalist asked.
"Anyway, it’s big news, definitely going to be a big deal."
The person next to him laughed and said.
An older journalist looked around, covering his mouth and speaking in a low voice: "It should be about He Jun’s ability. I heard Lin Feng’s team has been under a lot of pressure these days."
Someone couldn’t help but sneer: "Where one goes is their freedom, can they still be forcibly taken?"
"That’s not certain! If He Jun’s ability is real, it would only be most valuable if utilized by the authorities."
"The wording might be blunt, but it’s true indeed."
"That also requires her consent. Forcibly taking her without agreement is no different from a crime."
Amidst discussions, the atmosphere began to stir, and flashlights flashed like crazy.
At this moment, the meeting room doors were pushed open, with Lin Feng entering first, and the team members following closely.
"Impressive!" someone exclaimed.
Perhaps due to frequent battles, or perhaps confidence from their achievements and strength, Lin Feng’s team, in uniform appearance, seemed unstoppable, their aura imposing, even making some people dare not look directly.
"That’s killing intent!"
Someone else marveled.
With more killings, naturally, the aura is strong.
In terms of quantity and quality of kills, Lin Feng’s team is undoubtedly second to none, so it’s normal for their aura to be imposing.
Lin Feng took the lead to sit in the central position, with Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi sitting on his left and right, while the others chose seats randomly.
Facing the dazzling flashlights and attention from media reporters, He Jun and Dong Yunan seemed a bit nervous, while Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing appeared calm, clearly accustomed to it.
Before Lin Feng and the others could speak, the reporters vied to ask questions, making the scene a bit chaotic.
Lin Feng didn’t respond until a few minutes later, when the reporters gradually quieted down, then he spoke slowly into the microphone: "Today, there is no question session, this news conference I’ll speak about three points."
Lin Feng didn’t want to waste time, so he went straight to the point.
The reporters clearly knew Lin Feng was difficult to deal with, so they cooperated at this time, refraining from asking questions indiscriminately.
"First point: From today, Lin Feng’s team will officially rename to ’Avengers Alliance’, meaning revenge on the Divine Martial Continent! Revenge on Tianxing City, Zhouyun City, all those who died tragically!"
"Second point, I know everyone is curious about He Jun’s abilities. He Jun’s Lifebound Demon Spirit does indeed have sacrificial abilities. This Demon Spirit cannot absorb Soul Skills, nor does it have any attack abilities. Its sole ability is sacrifice, and its capability to be shared among members is because someone needs to absorb Little Green Monster’s ’Heart Contract’ Soul Skill and sign a contract with the absorber. Therefore, organizations wanting to collaborate should first absorb the ’Heart Contract’ before discussing further."
"Third point, and the reason for this news conference, from this moment, the Avengers Alliance is recruiting members worldwide. Those with Fifth Grade’s power, possessing special abilities, can register. This does not specifically refer to power, only that it is unique and beneficial to the alliance, you may become one of us. You can private message our account on the Martial Artist forum, and we will keep it confidential."
After speaking, without any hesitation, Lin Feng stood up and left, with the others following, giving no time for the reporters to ask questions.
There was actually no need for questions anymore.
The information the reporters wanted had already been shared by Lin Feng, along with an unexpected surprise.
A globally watched news conference lasted less than ten minutes, with the speech itself taking only three. Although short, the content drove the world’s geniuses crazy.
