Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 610 Chaos
After Igor announced the rules of the competition, the scene immediately descended into chaos. Figures weaved through the crowd, and the tense atmosphere and various noises were irritating.

"It feels so chaotic."

Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but say something.

With 55 teams and 20 members per team, even seasoned players must be very careful when choosing a team.

It's not that having strong capabilities means you can rest easy.

The rules of Capture the Flag are a battle system, with ten players on each side, fighting one-on-one. The loser is eliminated, and the winner continues to accept challenges.

Whoever stays until the end wins.

If it's a duel between martial artists, then it's naturally a simple matter of strong individuals joining forces.

However, for spirit masters, their natal spirits have a wide variety of abilities, with attributes, professions, and even skills that counter each other.

This means that a team needs to have different combat classes: mage, berserker, assassin, healer, etc.

There shouldn't be too many students who refine the same type of demon spirits and have similar fighting styles.

“Selecting trainees might take an hour or two. Igor didn’t mention it, so it shouldn’t be counted within the five-hour competition time,” Yun Tianqi said.

The King's Achievement Program brings together students from all over the world, all of whom are strangers to each other.

Besides practicing, the students usually attend classes. Their schedules are packed, and their sleep is squeezed to the limit. They rarely have any entertainment or social activities.

Even if we know each other, it's just a casual acquaintance.

Students who share the same mentor are more likely to be familiar with each other and have some kind of relationship.

But you can't find teammates you know well.

Students under the same mentor all have extremely similar fighting styles.

Just like Ye Xing, who became an apprentice of Gustav, almost all of his classmates were Berserkers.

Yang Ningbing became an apprentice of Remel, and the team consisted entirely of lightning mages. If a team is composed entirely of the same class, it is easy to be targeted, and even if the team members are very strong, it will be difficult to go all the way.

"Fortunately, we don't have to think about that much; choosing teammates is also a hassle," Ye Qiu said.

"Brother Feng!"

A familiar voice came, and Gongshan brought his younger sister Gong Xiaoxiao to Lin Feng.

"Little one, call me sister."

Dong Yunan immediately squatted down, reached out and pinched Gong Xiaoxiao's chubby cheeks, then grinned and said.

"elder sister."

Gong Xiaoxiao glanced at her brother and timidly said something.

"Call me 'sister,' not 'brother/sister.'"

Dong Yunan pretended to be angry and then turned Gong Xiaoxiao's face towards her: "Call me sister."

"Xiaoxiao has become smarter," Ye Xing said with a smile.

After three months of mentorship, Gong Xiaoxiao not only improved her skills rapidly, but also regained some of her senses. Before, she could only call him "brother," but now she can have simple conversations.

"elder sister."

Gong Xiaoxiao hugged her brother's leg, avoiding looking at Dong Yunan, appearing somewhat shy.

Miyayama picked up his younger sister with a look of doting affection.

"By the way, we have seventeen people, but we're short three. How do we solve that?"

Yang Ningbing asked a question.

While the students were searching for suitable teams or forming teams, Alice's students, the Royal Guard, stood there blankly, looking somewhat helpless.

They did try to find a team, but given their skills, who would want them?

Sometimes they are rejected before they can even speak, and if they are unlucky, they may even be mocked.

When it comes to points rewards, nobody cares whether there are powerful players behind them.

After being rejected several times, they stopped trying to humiliate themselves.

"Hey."

Moxi sighed, looking at the bustling scene around him, feeling a little lonely.

"Why are you sighing? According to these ridiculous rules, at least half, or even two-thirds, of the people in the third plan will be eliminated. Do you think we have any hope? We're already lucky to have made it this far."

Chen Dali said that compared to Moxi's frustration, he was quite optimistic.

In the second project mentor competition, he became Alice's student thanks to his uncle, who was a king.

Only with Alice's bizarre test questions could they pass the test smoothly.

It can be said that they were extremely lucky and unexpected to be able to become apprentices.

Students who were much stronger than them were all eliminated in the competition for mentors.

This plan to become king has already yielded many results, and I dare not hope for anything more.

"That's what they say, but I don't want the points, and I can't get them anyway. I feel that if I continue to persevere in the training hall for another two months, I'll have a chance to become the king!"

"Moxi said bitterly."

Faced with the possibility of becoming king, who would be willing to give it up easily?

Alice had thirty students, two of whom had become kings. Now, these two, along with their helpers, had not remained in the ranks.

"With our strength, we will become the first choice for other teams to challenge."

"We all know that, you don't need to remind us, it'll affect morale!"

Is morale still high?

"We don't have a single champion, so we have no strength to defend the title and can only ask other teams to protect our flag."

"If a team is willing to help protect the flag, and we're lucky, we might not be eliminated."

"The third plan is called 'Capture the Flag.' Since we can capture the flag, who would be willing to help us protect it?"

"Yeah, why bother protecting the flag if you can get a flag for free and earn an extra 200 points?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.

"Everyone should go and ask around among their acquaintances to see if any teams are willing to protect the flag."

Chen Dali said something, and soon everyone dispersed. Twenty minutes later, they began to return one after another, but everyone looked very unhappy.

After asking around, no one was willing to help them protect the flag. "Let's go find Lin Feng, maybe he'll be willing."

Chen Dali suggested.

Lin Feng wasn't originally their first choice, but now he's their only hope.

The Avengers have seventeen members, and Yun Kai and his three companions have already become kings. Although the team's strength is not particularly high, their record is brilliant and their reputation is great, so they may have a chance not to be eliminated.

Before long, the royal guards arrived in front of Lin Feng and his group, and Chen Dali got straight to the point and explained their purpose.

"Let us protect the flag?"

Lin Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

The Royal Guards are such a coveted team that they are the first choice for other teams to challenge, as they pose no challenge whatsoever and are essentially easy targets.

Finding someone to protect the flag was their only option, which is not surprising.

Lin Feng was surprised as to why they were chosen.

"Ah."

Chen Dali nodded, his attitude sincere.

"Why did you choose us?" Lin Feng asked.

Logically speaking, the Avengers only have four kings, so their strength is not considered strong.

Other teams might have ten Kings, or even all of them, so they don't have much of an advantage.

“We tried, but the other teams simply weren’t willing to help us protect the flag.”

Chen Dali gave a wry smile, not hiding anything, and spoke the truth.

"What are you protecting my flag for? We were planning to be the first to challenge you in the arena, and you're putting us in a very difficult position!"

Yu Qiao chuckled.

As fellow Chinese, and with Chen Dali and Lin Feng sharing the same mentor, Yu Qiao and Chen Dali weren't strangers; they'd eaten together a few times. Yu Qiao patted Chen Dali on the shoulder and suggested, "Since you're both going to be eliminated anyway, why don't we just give the Fire Flag to us?"

Chen Dali: "."

"How about it? It's better to benefit our own people than to benefit others."

Yu Qiao continued to ask.

"Don't make trouble."

Chen Dali looked at Yu Qiao's smug expression and said helplessly.

They came seeking protection for the flag, not to deliver it. Besides, even if he were willing, the others wouldn't.

No one wants to give up easily, no matter how small the chance is.

"Lin Feng, what do you think?"

Chen Dali ignored Yu Qiao's suggestion and looked at Lin Feng.

As far as he knew, the Avengers were led by Lin Feng, and if Lin Feng agreed, the others shouldn't have any objections.

Moxi and the others also turned their gazes to Lin Feng.

However, they themselves were not entirely confident.

Protecting the flag is not simply about helping to plant it; it also carries significant risks.

The more fire flags there are, the greater the temptation, and naturally, more teams will challenge them.

Given the Avengers' reputation, if they only had one flag, perhaps no team would dare to challenge them.

After all, with only one flag, the returns are too low and the risks are too high.

However, if there are multiple fire flags, the returns are higher, so the high risks become acceptable, and naturally, there will be more challengers.

"That's possible, but there are risks involved in protecting the flag. You'll need to contribute three months' worth of your own energy as compensation for your efforts."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and then said.

Protecting the flag is indeed risky, and few teams dare to do so.

Especially those who defend the flag right from the start, this behavior is, to be honest, harmful to others and not beneficial to themselves.

According to the rules, a team can only have one fire flag, which only guarantees that they will not be eliminated, and there is no points reward.

With 55 teams and only 55 flags in total, protecting one flag reduces the points pool by 200 points, which is something that attracts hatred.

Therefore, Lin Feng wouldn't help for nothing; their relationship hadn't reached that level yet.

Chen Dali and Moxi exchanged glances, then exchanged glances with the other trainees for a while.

It was expected that Lin Feng would want benefits.

Three months of primordial energy is not excessive.

Lin Feng wasn't asking for an exorbitant amount.

Previously, Lin Feng auctioned off a mentor-student spot for this price.

If you're alone, there will definitely be pressure, and it might not be worth it.

After all, the mentor's teaching has ended.

Who knows when the fourth plan will start? If it starts in a few days, they will still face elimination, which would be too much of a loss.

But there are twenty of them, twelve of whom have powerful family members who are considered "Kings" in the game. If they can all be gathered together, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, and it's acceptable.
What if the flag protection fails?

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Dali asked.

"We already said it was a fee for our hard work, do you expect us to work for free?!"

Yu Qiao rolled her eyes and said in an annoyed tone.

Chen Dali looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak. Before he could open his mouth, Lin Feng said, "If you fail to protect the flag, we won't charge you a penny, and we'll compensate you with a month's worth of Origin Power."

"Deal!" Chen Dali said without hesitation.

The others also looked pleased.

If it fails, we won't charge a penny, so there's no risk.

If the remaining source energy is eliminated and divided among twenty people, they definitely won't get much. They won't care, and they won't really accept it; that would be too short-sighted.

But Lin Feng's statement is enough to prove that he is confident and is not just casually protecting the flag because he doesn't think he will lose money.
