Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 323 Testing
As the competition ended, the audience stood up, applauding and cheering for the players who had contributed to this exciting match.

"Red Cloud Team!"

"Ye Qiu!"

"Zhan Tianyu!"

"Lin Feng!"

"King Kai!"

The final has ended, and the result was unexpected for most people, leaving the audience feeling that the trip was worthwhile, but also somewhat unsatisfied.

After the match, both sides shook hands amicably, demonstrating the usual practice of prioritizing friendship.

The team lost the game, which was heartbreaking and regrettable, but the Great Wall team did not show too much frustration.

The Red Cloud team won through sheer skill and accepted their defeat wholeheartedly.

For Ye Qiu and his two companions, as members of the Avengers, the Red Cloud Team's victory would maximize their benefits.

At this point, winning or losing is no longer so important.

"congratulations."

As Zhan Tianyu shook hands with Lin Feng, he took the lead in offering his congratulations.

"You're too kind. My performance in this match was just average."

Yu Qiao chuckled beside him, making Zhan Tianyu roll his eyes.

This kid doesn't utter a sound during battle, not even a breath, like an invisible venomous snake. He doesn't make a move easily, but when he does, he always takes someone down with him.

No one knows when he will launch a fatal attack. He is frighteningly calm, but usually acts very sarcastic and annoying, which is a huge contrast.

Just as everyone was shaking hands and chatting, Lin Feng suddenly noticed that Bu Zheng had stood up, and his expression changed slightly.

Not only Bu Zheng, but many other powerful figures present also stood up, including team leaders from various universities. These people were at least eighth-grade grandmasters, and they all walked out of the competition venue. Some of them talked to each other, and their expressions were somewhat solemn.

Something big seems to have happened?
"what happened?"

Like Lin Feng, Yang Ningbing quickly noticed the anomaly and asked with a puzzled expression.

She looked toward where her family was located. At this moment, the family members also stood up, and even her grandfather, Yang Qingtian, looked displeased.

As the patriarch of the Yang family, one of the ten great families in the capital, even he found the situation troublesome, which shows how serious it was.

"It must be some kind of sudden event, but it hasn't happened yet, otherwise it would definitely be on the news. The 'rats' in New World have been making a lot of moves these past two days, and it's most likely related to them."

Zhan Tianyu frowned slightly.

He had received some information beforehand, but he didn't really know much about it.

At this moment, not only Yang Qingtian, but even his guardian uncle had left ahead of time.

Eight or nine out of ten of the powerful figures present had left, which was very unusual.

Keep in mind that an hour later, the Great Wall team will have to compete against the Demon Star team to determine the runner-up and third place winners.

The audience was looking forward to this match and it was worth watching. Although there was no suspense, it wasn't enough to make people leave early.

And after the competition, there was a grand awards ceremony, but at this point, it seemed that no one cared anymore.

Most of the audience were still unaware of what was happening and were quite excited.

However, some martial artists and demon spirit masters clearly noticed the anomaly. Some of them received the news and, looking flustered, left the scene early.

"With such a commotion, could it be something else?" Dong Yunan asked in a low voice.

The words were left unsaid, but everyone understood.

A similar commotion occurred a few days ago when Tianxing City was attacked by demonic beasts, resulting in over 100,000 deaths and injuries.

The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"This is Shangjing, one of the twelve base cities. It has the strongest overall strength and is also the safest place. How could anything happen here?"

Although Zhan Tianyu was somewhat worried, he still shook his head and denied it.

He has confidence in the security of Beijing.

Having learned a painful lesson, the satellite cities are on high alert and have implemented various defensive measures to prevent a repeat of the incident. "Let's not discuss these things; let's figure things out first."

It's obviously impossible to discuss this topic in front of an audience and cameras.

There were over 300,000 spectators at the scene, and at least tens of thousands more outside the Glory Sports Center. Even if something serious happened, we must not panic, otherwise the chaos would be even more severe.

Lin Feng was the first to walk out of the competition venue, his face showing a hint of coldness, and the joy of victory he had just experienced vanished instantly.

It wasn't just Lin Feng; the others were the same.

That disaster is something they still can't get over.

These past few days, whenever the night is quiet, I often experience insomnia or wake up from nightmares.

Although they knew they had done nothing wrong, they still felt deeply guilty towards those who had been innocently implicated and died because of them.

These days, they focused on the competition and deliberately didn't think about these things. The news media also stopped reporting on them, and everything seemed to have returned to normal. They thought they could forget, but they didn't expect that this guilt and hatred had been deeply imprinted in their souls and could not be forgotten.

We must never forget this!

After shaking hands, the two teams left the competition venue for a short one-hour break before the match began...

Song Xiangrong continued his explanation, but his tone became somewhat unusual.

The audience didn't notice it, but those who were paying attention could hear a hint of unease.

Lin Feng approached Bu Zheng, but before he could speak, Bu Zheng seemed to already know what he was going to ask and said directly:

“I don’t know what happened either, but it’s related to the New World, so it must be something big. All martial artists and demon spirit masters above the eighth rank have received a summons, and I received one too. But I need to protect your safety, so you don’t have to go.”

Lin Feng remained silent for a while, realizing that the situation was far more serious than he had imagined.

It should be noted that not only is the capital city the strongest in terms of overall strength, but it also has seventeen guardians, which are seventeen king-level powerhouses.

Among the twelve base cities, Shangjing has the most guardians, while Jiangcheng has only twelve, and some base cities even have only eight or nine, which is almost half as many.

Even with so many guardians in the capital, it still needed to gather many powerful figures to help. Even if he didn't know what was going on, Lin Feng understood that this was definitely much more serious than the last massacre.

"Is it related to us? Revenge?" Lin Feng asked.

Bu Zheng was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Lin Feng to ask such a question. A hint of hesitation flashed across his face, but he quickly recovered and said calmly:
"Possibly, but you're not that important; it's more of a test."

"Testing?"

Yu Qiao was also puzzled.

"The seven of you hunted down geniuses in Jade Seal City, causing heavy losses to the alien race. The alien race hates you to the bone and has even issued bounties for each of you. But in the end, you only killed fifth and sixth-rank geniuses. It may have a significant impact ten or twenty years from now, but it will not change the current situation."

Lin Feng nodded; that was indeed the case.

Genius represents the future.

They killed so many alien geniuses, yet their combat power was still less than that of a single king-level expert.

"Of course, your achievements are even more glorious than sealing ten spatial gates. With so many fewer alien geniuses, the human race will have a greater advantage in the future competition for the keys to other-dimensional spatial gates. This shift in power will alleviate some of the pressure."

Although the combined fighting power of the seven of you is not as great as that of a single king, you have accomplished what seven kings could not.

Bu Zheng said slowly.

"What are you testing?" Yu Qiao continued to ask.

He always felt that Bu Zheng spoke in a roundabout way. These were not the questions he was asking. Wouldn't it be better to just get to the point?

Compared to Yu Qiao's impatience, Lin Feng could understand why Bu Zheng said that, and he understood his good intentions.

Bu Zheng was worried that they would feel psychological pressure, so he deliberately said that the others were not that important. At the same time, he was worried that they would deny his actions, so he highly recognized their contributions.

It may seem contradictory, but it is not.

Bu Zheng glanced at Yu Qiao, who felt a chill run down his spine and had an urge to disappear.

Bu Zheng withdrew his gaze, and facing the puzzled looks of the crowd, he finally explained:

"Perhaps, they are testing the strength of the human race, testing the timing of a future invasion—who knows!"
