Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 614 I heard you're very strong?
All eyes turned to the arena where Lin Feng was, eventually settling on the row of flags that resembled flames. The expressions on their faces varied: some were surprised, some were shocked, and some were mocking.

Only three minutes into the third phase, the teams began challenging and defending their positions.

Each team sent out ten people to fight, and for most teams, the first round was not yet over.

Lin Feng's team already possesses eight fire flags.

55 teams, 55 torches. Their team alone accounts for one-seventh of the total.

"What does it mean?"

"Didn't you see? Those fire flags were requested by other teams to be protected."

"I know, I mean, are the Avengers crazy?"

"Out of control."

"Why is no one challenging the arena anymore? Has even Kitahara Sousuke been scared out of his wits?"

"It's too risky and unnecessary to start with a clash between two strong opponents. Someone will naturally take care of them later."

The trainees' expressions were priceless, and even the tense atmosphere of the battle subsided involuntarily.

Not only the students, but the mentors were also surprised.

"Protecting the flag for six teams right at the start of the competition must have been pre-planned. I can understand weaker teams seeking protection. But what I don't understand is why do something so thankless?"

"I am dressed in black," Leng Feng asked.

"Yes, isn't the risk of being challenged greater that way?"

Other instructors also had this question.

"Still the same unconventional style, this isn't how the rules are played!"

Zuo Ziyu smiled slightly, a hint of wistfulness in his voice.

According to the rules of the third plan, when facing other teams challenging the challenge, the defending team can ask someone to protect their flag. However, if the defending team only has one fire flag, they can only guarantee that their own team will not be eliminated, and cannot give it to the flag protector.

In other words, the flag protectors will not receive any compensation.

Not only will there be no reward, but there will also be greater risks.

If the team defending the flag fails to defend their position, all of their fire flags will be cleared.

This is a thankless and arduous task that could provoke public outrage.

If Lin Feng's team successfully advances, these six flags alone will reduce the points pool by 1200 points.

The purpose of this rule is to eliminate some weaker teams first, so as to prevent some teams from avoiding battle at the start of the competition, hiring someone to protect their flag, and then winning without any effort.

This is also to prevent some strong teams from unconditionally and without reason choosing to protect the flag in order to win the points reward for first place.

According to the mentors, the flag-protecting strategy mainly involves giving a portion of one's own flag to the flag-protecting team in the mid-to-late stages of the game when facing an unbeatable team, in order to seek protection.

This is beneficial to both sides.

Lured by the points reward for first place, the top teams will continue to challenge for the title, making the competition more suspenseful and exciting.

As they predicted, the weaker teams were challenged first by the stronger teams, and even if they sought help to protect their flags, no team was willing to do so.

Aside from the Avengers, who are a spoiler.

In Chen Junhao's words, it's like: "They have no sense of martial ethics!"

"Didn't you notice? Those six teams that hired people to protect their flags, although weak in strength, have powerful backgrounds. Many of their members have the support of emperors. They must have made some kind of deal with the Avengers in private."

Izumi Tetsuhaku analyzed.

Alice lowered her head slightly, seemingly calm, but her expression was slightly embarrassed.

"Looking at it now, it really makes sense. No wonder they only helped protect the flags of six teams."

"The reward for finding students with royal backgrounds should be Source Power; they're preparing themselves to become kings." "Any transaction requires a gain. Source Power is so precious; it can't be given away for free. Are the Avengers really that confident they can go all the way?"

If they can make it to the end, the Avengers will indeed gain a large amount of Origin Power, and may also receive points as a reward.

However, it should be noted that Lin Feng and his team now have eight Fire Flags. Faced with such a huge temptation, perhaps no team will challenge them at first, but once the competition reaches the middle and later stages, those recognized strong teams will definitely no longer have any reservations.

They will be challenged again and again until they are eliminated.

"The more fire flags there are, the greater the risk of being eliminated, but there is also an advantage."

Remy smiled slightly and said, "That means you have to be extra careful if you want to challenge Lin Feng's team. If you have fewer Fire Flags than the Avengers and fail to enter the arena, you will be eliminated."

Faced with the Avengers' defense, the members of all six teams remained silent.

Chen Junhao and his group had grim expressions.

They all looked in one direction, at a handsome young man.

The boy was dressed in the dark blue samurai robes typical of Japan, and had a bowl cut hairstyle that looked particularly childish. He looked to be about 1.7 meters tall, or even less, around 1.68 meters.

Judging from his appearance alone, he looks like an ordinary high school student.

However, this team, which boasts seventeen champions, was formed around this "high school student".

The "high school student" is named Kitahara Sousuke, one of the world's five most talented assassins.

Kitahara Sousuke glanced at Lin Feng, his dark eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, as if devoid of any feeling whatsoever.

Under Kitahara Sōsuke's gaze, Lin Feng seemed to sense something, their eyes met, and he too wore an indifferent expression.

"Let's go."

Kitahara Sosuke withdrew his gaze, turned and left. Although somewhat unwilling, he rationally chose to give up.

The Avengers are no weak team, and even if we defeat them, it will come at a significant cost. Then we'll immediately face challenges from teams like Alex's.

The eight fiery flags are very tempting. If it were later in the competition, he would not hesitate to plant them and challenge the ring. But now the competition has just begun, and he needs to conserve his energy. In Chinese terms, when the snipe and the clam fight, only the fisherman will benefit.

"Scared me."

Watching Kitahara Sōsuke and his group remove the fire flag and leave Chen Dali's team's arena, Dong Yunan breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't just Dong Xiaomei; everyone else was the same, even Lin Feng was no exception.

He also didn't want a showdown between two strong opponents too early.

Teams vary in strength.

However, even the team that is recognized as the strongest, including the team of Alex the Child of Light, cannot challenge multiple strong teams in a row, as they have to consider the condition of their players and the issue of player losses.

With Kitahara Sousuke's withdrawal, the members of the other three teams also withdrew their flags and left, leaving only one team still standing on the stage.

Lin Feng suddenly looked up, and the next second, a whooshing sound rang out, and a fiery flag fell from the sky, slamming into his front, kicking up dust and gravel.

Stone fragments flew everywhere, but Lin Feng's figure was covered by a layer of spiritual energy veil. He remained motionless, his eyes calm and undisturbed.

"That son of a bitch is even more arrogant than me."

Yu Qiao launched into a tirade of curses, appearing extremely angry, but his tone and expression betrayed more of a gloating glee.

The fiery red flag was only forty or fifty centimeters away from Lin Feng, as if it were about to pierce his body.

This is clearly a provocation.

This is something Yu Qiao wants to do, but doesn't dare to do.

As the fire banner fell, figures flapped their wings and landed on the arena. One man even floated down in front of Lin Feng. He lightly stepped on the fire banner with one foot, slowly squatted down, and looked down at Lin Feng at close range, face to face, asking indifferently, "I heard you are very strong?"
