Chapter 670 Attempting to Steal a Chicken but Losing the Rice

"Haha."

As the demon-sealing artifact in Feng Tianwang's hand arced through the air and landed steadily in Hai Tianwang's hand, only to be casually tossed towards Lin Feng, some people burst into mocking laughter.

A demon from the abyss on the Earthly Rankings, ranked so high, is a rare treasure for anyone, even a Heavenly King.

No one has more than a few of these kinds of spirits.

In their eyes, the seemingly calm and collected King Feng was probably also heartbroken at this moment, but he didn't show it just to maintain a high profile.

Compared to the others' teasing and mockery of Wind King, Sea King didn't say anything, but he did have a slight smile on his face.

In the apostle's debut, all rewards earned by the apostle in clearing the challenges belong to the apostle.

This is the benefit that the apostles receive when they join the Pure Land.

Since the compensation was paid by the Heavenly King, this was also a gift from the Heavenly King upon meeting him.

Of course, if the apostle fails too many times, the king will not hesitate to refuse to "call".

We will not continue to pay the price for the apostles' failures.

If the Heavenly King is willing to "call," and the Apostle has lost more than he has won in his multiple attempts, resulting in significant losses, the Heavenly King may reclaim the rewards earned by the Apostle after his debut in order to make up for the losses.

Although the apostle's debut was a gift to the apostle and did not benefit the Heavenly King, but rather harmed him, the Heavenly King would still gain prestige from the strength of his apostle.

Besides, winning is definitely better than losing. Even if he loses, he still has to compensate or reward something of equal value, so he's in a good mood overall.

Hai Tianwang doesn't dislike Lin Feng, but he doesn't have any particular fondness for him either.

Even if Lin Feng becomes his apostle candidate, he doesn't care at all whether Lin Feng lives or dies.

Because of Lin Feng's immense fame, some people, driven by a low-level and ridiculous sense of humor, even used Lin Feng's life as a test for the apostles.

If Lin Feng were unlucky and killed by another candidate, he wouldn't care; at most, he'd feel a little sorry. After all, they were just strangers, and their shared Chinese identity didn't mean much to him.

Since he became one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Pure Land, it shows that he had no awareness of dedication, let alone any thought of serving the country and its people.

All he wanted was to find or create that last piece of pure land.

"He lost before even managing to force out the second demon spirit; what a waste!"

The Beast King said something, his words barely concealing his disappointment.

Disappointment mixed with anticipation and longing—a very contradictory emotion.

"Substitute and Soul Transformation, two divine-level soul skills, what a perfect combination! A combat system without any weaknesses, it's practically perfect, truly enviable!"

"Dream King sighed, seemingly a little envious."

As a demon spirit master, Meng Tianwang naturally knew the importance of soul skills.

As extraordinary powerhouses, most of their soul skills are already maxed out.

Not only their natal spirit, but some even have their second spirit's soul skills maxed out.

Of course, only a few Heavenly Kings can refine a second demon spirit.

As for the third demon spirit?

Apart from the Witch King who is born with two soul seas, no other Heavenly King can refine a third demon spirit.

Spirits need to grow, and growth requires a lot of time and resources. For powerful beings, low-level spirits offer almost no improvement in strength.

The Heavenly Kings don't care much about the level of their Soul Skills. Their strength has already reached the Emperor level, so even if they absorb Diamond-level Soul Skills or even God-level Soul Skills, the improvement to their strength will be limited.

Even so, one is still amazed by Lin Feng's combat system and combination of soul skills.

One diamond-level soul skill is nothing special, but what if all of them are diamond-level soul skills, and there are two god-level soul skills among them?
Even a Heavenly King couldn't underestimate such a combination of soul skills. "What's that Chinese saying? Does it mean 'trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead'? The reward for the first level is a demon spirit from the Earth Ranking; how are we supposed to give out the rewards later?"

The Witch King, whose face was obscured by a black robe, spoke.

Although his voice sounded hoarse, the dissatisfaction in his words was very obvious.

His face was also hidden in his hood, making it impossible to see his features. He was slightly hunched over, and his figure appeared somewhat bloated.

"Right, how will the rewards be given later?"

The Shadow King, who appeared to be around thirty or forty years old, with blond hair and brown eyes, wearing a black bodysuit and possessing long, slender legs, inquired.

Among the Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Pure Land, Shadow King is the only female.

Feng Tianwang couldn't wait to set the first challenge, hoping to seriously injure Lin Feng and stop him at the first level. He even specially chose an apostle whose abilities countered Lin Feng's. Who would have thought that Lin Feng would defeat him so easily?

As is customary for the apostles' debut performances, the difficulty of the challenges will increase over time. This is because the challenges are not fixed; the Heavenly King will change the challenges based on the apostles' performances, thus increasing the difficulty.

As the difficulty of the levels increases, the rewards will also increase.

Just like in a casino, gamblers place bets, and normally the bets get bigger and bigger.

The fact that Feng Tianwang set the lower limit to the Earthly Ranking Demon Spirits put them in a difficult position.

It wouldn't be right to reward a Tier 1 monster in the first level and a Tier 9 monster in the second level.

Doesn't that mean I'm not as generous as Feng Tianwang?

If the rewards are not as good as those of Feng Tianwang, and the challenges are even more difficult, wouldn't that make people look down on you even more?
Heavenly Kings are all concerned about their image, and in front of their apostles, they would never act so arrogantly.

Moreover, the debut was in front of the residents of the floating city.

The Wind King glanced at the Witch King but did not react.

Among the Twelve Heavenly Kings, there are not many who can inspire fear, and the Witch King is one of them.

Born with two soul seas, who wouldn't be wary of such a talent?

No one is sure how many demon spirits the Witch King actually refined.
The Wind King and the Witch King had clashed once, neither of them going all out. It was just a minor conflict arising from a dispute over resources, nothing irreconcilable. Although it was a brief exchange, he had a gut feeling that the Witch King had an easier time in the fight, and that he wouldn't stand a chance in a real fight to the death.

Of course, he was the fastest among the Heavenly Kings, and even if he wanted to escape, the Witch Heavenly King couldn't catch him.

It was precisely this apprehension, coupled with the fact that it was indeed his own mistake, that led him to remain silent and unresponsive to the first complaint from the Witch King.

Who will take on the second challenge?

The Sea King asked.

The heavenly kings looked at each other, waiting for the other to come first.

Lin Feng's strength exceeded the expectations of the Heavenly Kings, so the originally designed challenge questions naturally had to be changed. In addition, the level of the prizes was raised so much that no one responded for a while.

This silence fueled the growing restlessness in the room, and the cheers from the audience grew increasingly deafening.

"As expected of Lin Feng."

"The Substitute Soul Skill is really awesome, no wonder it's a God-level Soul Skill."

"I didn't even notice, and the battle was over."

"This is only the second challenge, and the Heavenly King is already finding it difficult."

Seeing that the challenge had not yet started, the audience began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Lin Feng's debut performance in the first round was enough to amaze everyone.

The King's silence at this moment also foreshadowed the unusual nature of this debut.
