Chapter 681: Chapter 503: Demon Beast Siege

trainees have been confirmed.

A month quietly passed by, yet the World Alliance had yet to announce the start time for the Becoming King Plan.

During this month, every day there were various rumors circulating, even if people knew the credibility was low, it still sparked widespread discussion.

People naturally were full of anticipation, hoping for an early start.

However, for the trainees, the later the better.

In this special period, each trainee is undoubtedly a star, a hot topic among people, garnering the highest attention, with various commercial activities and endorsements pouring in.

Every day, trainees are under the spotlight.

Even those who are indifferent to fame wouldn’t give up such opportunities to make money.

Money can enhance strength, and sometimes the stronger you are, the more lacking in money you are.

The longer the delay, the better for the trainees.

Among the 64 trainees, some popular ones like Jing Feiyang, Xu Rongguang, and Zhang Junhao are highly favored, engaging in various commercial activities every day, undoubtedly earning a fortune.

In just a month, they made hundreds of millions.

Compared to those popular trainees, Lin Feng’s team received little attention and obviously wasn’t seen as hopeful.

Their age was really too young, except for Bu Yuanlong, whose strength reached the Ninth Grade, the others were weaker one by one.

The strongest among them, Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing, were also only at the Eighth Grade, and had just broken through six months ago.

Lin Feng’s team, although seemingly large in number, had more than half of them not yet graduated from university.

Even fans didn’t think they could last long.

They might be mercilessly eliminated in the first round.

It’s even more impossible for them to become kings.

But undeniably, Lin Feng’s team had a high popularity and were also sought after by manufacturers.

It’s not difficult for them to make some money; though not as much as the popular trainees, they would definitely surpass the average trainees.

Surprisingly, Lin Feng’s team was unusually low-profile.

They didn’t attend any commercial events, not even making an appearance.

This was contrary to their usual flamboyant style.

It was precisely their extreme low profile that even led fans to suspect they had plans to give up.

Dingsheng Hotel.

At three in the afternoon, Lin Feng’s team walked out of the training facility.

For this month, they had been staying at the hotel.

The hotel not only had professional chefs but also professional training facilities, so there was no worry about training issues.

At this moment, in a suite, Lin Feng and the team were wearing matching uniforms.

Because each had different habits, the styles varied: there were sportswear, martial arts uniforms, and Zhongshan suits, but all were in red and black, predominantly black, with red stripes and highlights.

On the left chest position, there was a semicircular logo with the words "Zhan Family" on it.

The Zhan race had decided to invest in Lin Feng’s team, and the uniform for the Becoming King Plan was also designed by them.

Regarding the uniform’s design, as the team captain, Lin Feng had no requirements, only suggesting black as the main color and red as the secondary.

"How is it? I designed seven styles and thought this one looked the best, so I brought it."

Zhan Tianyu asked.

"The uniform looks good, and the material is comfortable to wear, but why is the red color dark? It’s like blood pooling in patterns."

Dong Yunan said, looking at her combat suit.

The red patterns and dots against the black backdrop indeed resembled blood, and she found it somewhat creepy.

"I think it looks imposing. What’s creepy about it? It’s not like we haven’t seen blood before."

Ye Qiu didn’t mind and was evidently pleased with this style.

"I think it’s fine, quite nice actually."

Yun Tianqi smiled.

The others also voiced their opinions. Everyone had different tastes, but in essence, they didn’t really care about the uniform style; it was just a uniform.

Even if they didn’t like it, they wouldn’t wear it all the time; black was a color everyone could accept.

And the uniform was indeed stylish, and nobody cared about its auspiciousness.

Ever since the Avengers Alliance was established, each of them had been steeped in blood, so who cared about such things?

"Li Yi is at it again online."

Yu Qiao, who had been browsing the Martial Artist forum on his phone, suddenly said.

"What did that idiot say this time?"

Ye Qiu asked, a bit curious, as were the others.

"It’s just his usual trash-talking. What’s he daring to do?"

Yu Qiao replied with a disdainful tone.

The others chuckled but didn’t take it seriously.

Though Li Yi was annoying, he wasn’t the first to trash-talk them, likely not the last either.

The 64 trainees were the focus of media and public attention, but not all had high popularity.

trainees, not too many, not too few, like the Glory Alliance where the real money-makers are always the top 10 All-Stars.

The income of the top 10 All-Stars is several times, if not ten times, that of other professional players.

Yet the strength gap between them isn’t as exaggerated as their income.

There’s a distinction between popularity and strength, naturally not everyone can make a fortune. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Among the 64 trainees, half didn’t have much popularity and weren’t top-notch in strength, thus had few fans.

Without fan support, manufacturers naturally weren’t interested, so they couldn’t earn much.

To earn money, they needed to boost their popularity.

The fastest way to boost popularity is through hype.

Hype can quickly raise awareness.

However, converting awareness into popularity isn’t easy; the quickest way is by challenging.

Defeating a highly popular trainee will transfer some of their popularity to the challenger, undoubtedly the simplest and quickest way to boost popularity.

But highly popular trainees are generally strong, not easy targets.

Some who lack confidence also aren’t willing to accept challenges.

Among the trainees, Lin Feng’s team had high popularity but was recognized as the weakest, making them the best challenge target.

In this month, at least a dozen trainees challenged Lin Feng’s team directly or indirectly via the internet or media.

Although slightly unscrupulous,

it was undeniably effective in raising awareness and popularity.

Otherwise, so many wouldn’t try.

"Any news lately?"

Lin Feng asked.

Zhan Tianyu shook his head and said, "No news? What’s up?"

Hearing there was no news, Lin Feng didn’t relax but frowned instead,

No news was naturally good, but being too quiet was not a good thing.

For some reason, he always had a sense of foreboding, as if something bad was about to happen.

And things had been too quiet lately.

In the face of the Becoming King Plan, the Alien Race was uncharacteristically quiet.

Would the Alien Race allow the Becoming King Plan to proceed smoothly?

The answer was obviously no.

The Alien Race would definitely try to stop it by any means.

"Are you worried about the Alien Race?"

Bu Yuanlong asked.

"Yeah, I have a bad premonition," Lin Feng said.

While they chatted, Lin Feng’s phone vibrated slightly, and before he could pick up, everyone’s phone rang almost simultaneously.

The next moment, a wave of screams and cheers surged in.

At this moment, the entire city was in a state of excitement and turmoil.

They looked at each other with varied expressions, some excited, some nervous, some serious. Even though they hadn’t answered the calls or read the messages, they evidently guessed what had happened.

"Looks like it’s starting."

Lin Feng said, then checked his messages.

And indeed,

After a month of waiting, the World Alliance finally announced the start time for the Becoming King Plan.

One week later, on July 7th, the Becoming King Plan would officially begin.

Trainees and their assistants needed to arrive at the Dali Desert in South America by midnight on July 7th; those who were late would be automatically eliminated.

While Shangjing was in a frenzy, outside Zhouyun City, a figure with pink eyes silently gazed in the direction of Shangjing.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The sound of a phone vibrating. He took out his phone, glanced at it, then put it back in his pocket.

"It’s finally starting."

The man muttered softly, his tone a bit complex, his pink pupils emitting a faint glow.

Not far from him, about 300 meters away. An Eighth Tier Demon Beast, originally asleep, suddenly opened its beast eyes, deep within its green beast eyes was a thumbnail-sized pink dot.

"Roar~~~~~~~~"

This Demon Beast seemed to be awakened, letting out an angry roar, the sound growing louder and more frenzied.

"Howl~~~~~~~~~~~"

"Roar, roar, roar, roar~~~~~~~~~~~"

Tens of thousands of howls and roars erupted one after another, at this moment over ten thousand Advanced Demon Beasts rushed towards Zhouyun City, among them even silhouettes of King Level Demon Beasts.

A multitude of beast eyes, sinister and maniacal....

Under the threat of Advanced Demon Beasts, over a hundred thousand Mid and Low Level Demon Beasts were swept along, like a cloud covering the sky, heading towards Zhouyun City.

Without any warning, just ten minutes after the World Alliance announced the start of the Becoming King Plan, Zhouyun City was besieged by Demon Beasts.
