Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 359 Provocation
Although the items in the hall are rare, since they are not eligible to be auctioned, it means they are not real treasures.

Therefore, many people only lingered briefly, browsed around for a while, and then went directly into the inner area, which is the auction hall.

Upon entering the auction hall, which can accommodate 600 people, two-thirds of the seats were already occupied. Following the seating arrangement on the invitation, Lin Feng and his group quickly took their seats.

Their positions were slightly forward in the middle, and next to them were Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi.

Upon seeing Ye Xing and his companion, everyone except Lin Feng was somewhat excited.

The top ten all-stars each have tens of millions of fans, with Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing being the most popular.

It can be said that since high school, everyone has been watching Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi's matches and discussing with their classmates who is stronger and more handsome.

This is their idol, the goal they strive for. If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, Yue Mingming and the others would even have wanted to ask for his autograph.

Being able to get so close to their idols in such a setting feels somewhat unreal to them.

"It's good to see you again."

Ye Xing sat down and greeted Ye Qiu, who was two seats away.

In the previous rookie challenge, Ye Qiu challenged Ye Xing.

Ye Xing also admired Ye Qiu.

Ye Xing's style is very ferocious. As the number one berserker in the alliance, his fighting style is violent and passionate, which can instantly ignite the emotions of the audience and make people's blood boil.

Ye Xing prefers close combat, and when he unleashes his second berserk mode at close range, he crushes his opponents with his terrifying strength advantage. However, in the rookie challenge, Ye Qiu, despite suppressing his strength and soul skills, left him somewhat helpless and even put him at a disadvantage for a time.

"senior."

Ye Qiu nodded, his usually nonchalant expression now revealing a hint of respect.

Ye Xing admired him, and he also respected Ye Xing.

"senior."

Zhan Tianyu also waved to Yun Tianqi.

In the rookie challenge, he challenged Yun Tianqi, and the competition was about attack speed.

Although he ultimately won thanks to his six arms, he knew that Yun Tianqi had only let him win.

Yun Tianqi's original innate demon spirit was only at the sixth level, but he was able to establish himself in the Glory Alliance, a league full of geniuses, and even become one of the top ten all-stars. This is not only inspiring, but also admirable.

"You young people, how come you always have a group of people wherever you go!"

Yun Tianqi said with a smile, his tone somewhat envious. He had always admired Lin Feng and the others.

This is a group of super geniuses with faith.

This kind of friendship, built on shared beliefs, common pursuits, and the experience of growing together and going through life-and-death battles, is far more precious and enduring than that of teammates in a war team.

Are you all going into the Land of Chaos this time?

Yun Tianqi asked curiously.

His gaze swept over Chen Tianming and He Jun. He did remember Chen Tianming; he was the cuckolded guy, and it was hard for him to forget him. As for He Jun, he didn't recognize him at all.

"Ah."

Zhan Tianyu nodded and responded.

Yun Tianqi then asked, "How about we team up and cooperate when we enter the Chaotic Land?"

Entering the Chaotic Lands, teaming up is common, and the battle for keys is extremely fierce; if you're a lone wolf, your chances of survival are very low.

This group of super geniuses, when suppressing their strength, are not much weaker than them. If they team up, not only will their combat power be stronger, but their safety will also be more guaranteed.

Zhan Tianyu did not respond; instead, he looked at Lin Feng, which surprised Yun Tianqi. Clearly, Lin Feng was the one making the decisions for this team.

"How about it?"

Yun Tianqi asked Lin Feng.

"Teaming up is fine, but whose decision-making power do we have?"

Lin Feng inquired.

He had no objection to forming a team, but since it was a team effort, there naturally had to be a captain; otherwise, disagreements could easily lead to trouble if danger arose.

Yun Tianqi was slightly taken aback, not expecting Lin Feng to ask such a question, then he chuckled and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

As the top ten All-Stars of Honor, they are stronger, and in Yun Tianqi's opinion, it is more appropriate to listen to them.

Although Lin Feng and his group had a brilliant record, they were still not quite ready to become the leader, and they would never agree to that.

"Let's change seats."

Lin Feng patted Yue Mingming on the shoulder and switched places with her, sitting next to Yun Tianqi.

"silent"

Lin Feng glanced at Yu Qiao, who immediately understood and released the Silent Realm.

Yun Tianqi frowned slightly. He and Ye Xing looked at each other, both of them somewhat surprised, wondering what Lin Feng was up to, why was it so mysterious?
It also releases the Realm of Silent Sound.

Within this barrier that isolates all sound, even a king cannot hear what the others are saying.

The surrounding area was full of powerful individuals, and many people noticed that Yu Qiao had released his soul skill. Some of them were curious, but they couldn't hear anything.

Facing Yun Tianqi's questioning gaze, Lin Feng said, "I created an alliance, and all of us in this row are members of the alliance."

"so what?"

Yun Tianqi asked calmly.

What does this have to do with his suggestion?
Although all the members of this alliance are geniuses, so what?
The Glory Professional League is the place with the most geniuses in the country.

"I've reserved two seats for you and Ye Xing."

Lin Feng said this, and Yun Tianqi was a little confused, as was Ye Xing.

Leaving two seats... something doesn't sound right.
That's a huge boast.

What kind of league is this awesome?
This statement implies that it is an honor for them to join the alliance.

"You want to recruit us? You want to be the boss?"

Yun Tianqi asked, somewhat surprised.

They originally just wanted to team up with Lin Feng and his group so they could look out for each other in the dangerous and chaotic place. How did it suddenly turn into Lin Feng recruiting them?

Although this alliance is indeed unique, with many super geniuses who can refine the demon spirits on the Earth Ranking, isn't this a bit too much of a boast?

He and Ye Xing were both among the top ten all-stars, and their strength far surpassed that of Lin Feng and his group.

Numerous powers extended olive branches to them, offering lucrative terms, but they rejected them all. Why join an alliance whose purpose they had no idea what to do?
What is the background of this alliance? What are its strengths?
A group of geniuses, no matter how outstanding their talents, are just geniuses, not strong people.

And it's clearly impossible to make them obey Lin Feng.

"We're all in the same league, teammates, there's no distinction between big and small," Lin Feng shook his head and explained.

Yun Tianqi smiled and said, "That's true, but it's quite obvious that this alliance is led by your opinion."

Lin Feng did not refute.

Yun Tianqi continued, "I admit that you are a prodigy, unmatched among your peers, but you are still too green to lead us."

That's a very direct statement.

In Yun Tianqi's view, Lin Feng was overestimating himself. No matter how outstanding his talent was, Lin Feng was no match for him at the moment.

Yun Tianqi's tone at this moment revealed undisguised skepticism, but Lin Feng didn't care.

Unlike Zhan Tianyu and the others, Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing are already among the top ten all-stars. The two are currently at the eighth rank of martial arts, and are either seven-star or eight-star demon spirit masters. Their strength is even stronger than that of Lingyun experts, and can be said to be second only to the king level.

Furthermore, neither of them lacked money.

It's obviously impossible to get someone to join with just a few words.

"Let's talk after the auction."

Lin Feng didn't try to persuade them further. It would be best if Yun Tianqi and the other person could join, but it wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't.

Zhan Tianyu felt a little sorry, but only for Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing.

At this stage, joining the Avengers only grants one type of treatment, but even that single treatment is enough to drive any demon spirit master crazy.

Yun Tianqi was somewhat puzzled by the confidence and arrogance of the crowd. Why did it give him the feeling that not joining would be a loss?
Yun Tianqi found this feeling both puzzling and amusing, but didn't really take it to heart.

As the realm of silence dissipated, a moment of silence fell over the atmosphere.

Before the auction even started, people were gradually entering and taking their seats.

As everyone waited idly for the auction to begin, a slight commotion arose.

Lin Feng followed the gaze of the crowd and saw a group of seven people walking towards the front row. The leader was an old man with white hair and a youthful face.

Upon seeing the old man arrive, many people stood up to greet him.

"People from the Dawn Organization."

"Xu Tianyin has appeared."

Many people whispered among themselves.

Dawn, this is also a nationally renowned organization.

The name of the organization Dawn is somewhat similar to Pure Land, and their meanings are also very similar. One is to "protect the last pure land of mankind", and the other is to "welcome the last dawn of mankind".

Beyond its symbolism, the Dawn Organization's structure also imitates the Pure Land. Although it cannot match the Pure Land's strength, it is still far superior to ordinary organizations.

The elder who led the group of seven was named Xu Tianyin, a peak Martial King.

Lin Feng had heard of the organization, but he didn't care because it had nothing to do with him.

What truly caught his eye was a familiar figure. Although only her profile was visible, Lin Feng recognized her at a glance.

It is the Song of Songs.

Two years after graduating from high school, the girl has undergone a magnificent transformation.

The girl cut her long hair, and now her short hair adds a touch of confidence and liveliness. Her beautiful figure is faintly visible in her combat uniform, and her fair and delicate face exudes a pure yet charming temperament, attracting everyone's attention at all times.

Many people looked at Yage, then at Lin Feng, a hint of amusement flashing in their eyes.

Their past relationship as a couple is well-known.

Now, as Lin Feng gains national attention and shines brightly, the girl remains unknown.

No one expected that Ya Ge would join the Dawn Organization.

Lin Feng also became a candidate for apostle of Pure Land.

Ya Ge followed behind a middle-aged man, her head slightly bowed. Amid the murmurs, she glanced up in the direction of Lin Feng, then quickly looked away, appearing indifferent.

Instead, a young man beside her kept his eyes fixed on Lin Feng.

The young man appeared to be in his mid-twenties, dressed in casual clothes, and had a handsome appearance. He smiled slightly at Lin Feng, a smile that carried a hint of provocation.

"Someone provoked us, let's take them down."

Yu Qiao chuckled, a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.

Yun Kai glanced at Yu Qiao with a warning look in his eyes. Yu Qiao didn't say anything more, but just let out a sly laugh.

"Hehe, how does it feel?"

Yun Tianqi, being somewhat gossipy, asked.

Although he refused to join the alliance, it did not affect his appreciation and recognition of Lin Feng.

As fellow townsmen, our relationship is naturally closer than with others.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Lin Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes, ignoring Yun Tianqi's gossip.

Meeting Yage evoked some feelings, but nothing particularly special.

Lin Feng was somewhat surprised that Ya Ge had joined the Dawn Organization, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Although Yage signed with Juxing, the Glory Alliance is currently in turmoil, with all competitions suspended indefinitely, so it's normal for them to seek other solutions.

Lin Feng ignored this inexplicable provocation.

“That’s Xu Tianyin’s grandson. I’ve fought him before, and he’s not much weaker than me.”

Seeing that Lin Feng was too lazy to pay attention, Yun Tianqi did not continue to tease him, but instead gave a slight reminder.

Lin Feng closed his eyes to rest.

He doesn't care whose grandchildren are his, as long as they don't cause trouble.

As the seats filled, a voluptuous and beautiful woman in a cheongsam appeared on the auction stage and smiled slightly at the crowd below:
"Thank you all for coming, making this evening's Wind Chime Auction House shine. This auction features one hundred precious items. I know your time is valuable, so without further ado, let the auction officially begin."

After making a brief advertisement in front of numerous powerful figures, the beautiful woman stopped there, not daring to waste any more words. She lightly stepped on the ground, and a one-meter-tall cylinder slowly rose in front of her. At the top of the cylinder was a fist-sized, dark red object with a somewhat uneven surface.

"The first item up for auction is the demon core of a ninth-tier Swiftfire Lion, which can amplify the power of spirit weapons."

At this point, the woman paused slightly, then continued, "The starting price is 100 million, with each bid increasing by 5 million."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone raised a sign.

"One hundred and five million."

"One hundred and ten million."

"One hundred and twenty million."

The calls for price increases rose and fell in waves.

"They're all rich people."

Yue Mingming clicked his tongue in amazement.

This auction, apart from Lin Feng, was clearly none of their business; they were just there to broaden their horizons.

“They are all indeed wealthy people,” Yun Tianqi said with a smile.

The first item in the auction started at over 100 million, and the next ones will likely start at over 1 billion.

As one of the top ten All-Stars, he may not lack money, but compared to wealthy families and conglomerates, he is still poor.

Soon, the first item sold for 300 million.

The following items became increasingly valuable, with one low-level spiritual artifact called the 'Cloud Kirin Sword' fetching a staggering 1 billion. Keep in mind, this was only the ninth item up for auction.

This auction was indeed of an unprecedented scale.

As the auctioned items became increasingly valuable, their prices soared, with a billion becoming a normal figure, and some even reaching 1.5 billion. The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly heated.

With the merging of spatial gates, major powers are no longer as focused on money, and the prices of some auction items have doubled compared to usual.

Lin Feng did not make a move; although these items were valuable, they were not suitable for him.

However, when an item appeared at the auction, Lin Feng slightly adjusted his posture, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"The 23rd lot, I believe many people have already recognized what this lot is."

On the auction stage, the beautiful woman held a fist-sized, seven-colored fruit in her hand and slowly said:
"The Spirit Ascension Fruit comes from the Divine Martial Continent. Eating it can raise your natal spirit by one rank and also promote the evolution of your spirit. However, please note that it is only effective for spirits below the sixth rank. Its effect on sixth-rank spirits is limited, and it has almost no effect on seventh-rank spirits."

The appearance of the Spirit Ascension Fruit surprised many people.

This kind of Spirit Ascension Fruit is indeed very rare, allowing a demon spirit to directly advance one rank, which is equivalent to shortening the demon spirit's growth time by one or two years.

Although it has limitations and is useless for the strong, it is indeed good for geniuses.

"The Spirit Ascension Fruit, starting bid 1 billion, increments of 100 million each time," the beautiful woman said slowly.

No sooner had the words been spoken than someone raised a sign: "1.1 billion."

"Two billion."

People kept raising their bids, and the price quickly soared to 1.5 billion.

"Sixteen billion." Lin Feng raised his sign.

Many eyes turned to Lin Feng, as this was the first time he had raised his placard.

They weren't surprised by Lin Feng raising his placard.

Compared to others, this Spirit Ascension Fruit is more important to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng is known to possess five soul skills: Mirror Image, Illusion, Lock, Demonic Flame, and Transformation.

Five soul skills, which means that Lin Feng's natal demon spirit has grown to the fifth level, making him a five-star demon spirit master.

Some speculate that Lin Feng is already a six-star demon spirit master, and that he has another soul skill that no one knows about, which is his first soul skill.

Of the five soul skills Lin Feng absorbed, three were purple-gold soul skills and two were diamond soul skills.

It's incredible that Lin Feng absorbed the Purple Gold Soul Skill as his first Soul Skill, leading many to suspect that he possessed another Soul Skill.

Lin Feng was refining a first-tier demon spirit, and it would be extremely difficult for it to evolve.

The higher the level, the greater the difficulty.

For others, the Spirit Ascension Fruit merely saves time for their demon spirits to grow, but for Lin Feng, it increases the possibility of his natal demon spirit evolving.

Perhaps knowing that this Spirit Ascension Fruit was very important to Lin Feng, and that this was Lin Feng's first bid, no one raised their paddles after Lin Feng bid up to 2 billion.

Lin Feng's performance in Jade Seal City earned him the admiration of many powerful figures.

For a genius, spending two billion Singapore dollars to save a demon spirit a year of growth time is not as valuable as buying a demon spirit with high-level soul skills.

Such a large sum of money, if used to buy resources, could accelerate the growth of the spirits.

Furthermore, Lin Feng was determined to obtain this Spirit Ascension Fruit, so there was no need for him to offend him.

For various reasons, no one continued to bid.

Lin Feng looked around and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

This Spirit Ascension Fruit is indeed very important to him.

The dragonfish evolves to the fifth rank, but its growth rate is very slow. Although it has the "Fish-Dragon Transformation" technique to assist it and an evolution path, it is still very difficult to evolve.

Eating a Spirit Ascension Fruit can save a demon spirit several months of growth time, which is definitely worthwhile.

It's not just about time; the resources required to evolve an arowana are also staggering, probably requiring two or three billion.

A single demon spirit fruit is very expensive for others, but it's a great deal for Lin Feng, and he can even save money.

"Twenty-five billion times!"

"20 million twice!"

The beautiful woman called out according to the auction rules, her speech slightly faster than before.

As an employee of the auction house, she also knew that the spatial ring, which was the final item in this auction, was provided by Lin Feng.

The reason this auction was so sensational is largely due to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at the beautiful woman. Facing Lin Feng's gaze, the beautiful woman smiled slightly, raised the small hammer in her hand, and was about to strike when she was interrupted by a voice: "Twenty-one billion!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the audience, a young man slowly raised a sign near the front row. Beside him, a captivating young woman frowned slightly as she looked at the young man.

The young man smiled slightly at Ya Ge, then looked at Lin Feng's location. Facing Lin Feng's gaze, he smiled slightly, his smile still revealing a hint of provocation.
