Chapter 62: Ultimately For Naught

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

“S-success! Haha, Brother Feng defeated the Demon King and became the new legend of Myriad Academy!”

Feng Xiu spent 10 points and watched the entire battle between Lin Feng and Dongfang Sheng the Demon King. Although he was confident in Lin Feng, the Demon King was, after all, an undefeated legend of the Myriad Academy. No one had defeated him in decades.

But now, Lin Feng had really defeated the Demon King. Feng Xiu really wanted to roar with laughter and tell everyone. Unfortunately, he was the only one in the Virtual Battle Chamber. He couldn’t even brag about it to someone.

But no matter what, Feng Xiu knew very well that following Lin Feng would definitely bring him boundless prospects in the future. He was even a little smug. It was fortunate that Lin Feng had taught him a lesson back then. How else would he get the chance to follow Lin Feng now?

As for his “grievance” from being taught a lesson by Lin Feng, it had long dissipated. He only had blind reverence for Lin Feng now. Lin Feng was a living legend!

Feng Xiu was not alone. Many people in the conference room saw the outcome of Lin Feng and Dongfang Sheng’s battle.

In the end, the conference room was very quiet. After seeing Lin Feng defeat Dongfang Sheng with a punch, everyone’s expressions turned serious.

Although this was just a battle below the inhuman level, the Demon King was no ordinary man. Back then, Dongfang Sheng the Demon King was unparalleled in his magnificence, and basically one of the most outstanding students of Myriad Academy.

Now, Lin Feng had defeated him head-on. The impact on them was just too great.

“Nonuple Body Tempering. And if I’m not wrong, it should be the third level!”

“There’s actually someone who can actually master the third level of Nonuple Body Tempering at the level of a professional martial artist. Incredible, truly incredible.”

“Lin Feng’s talent is astonishing. How could he have such powerful strength?”

“Perhaps he has superpowers too, and his superpowers are related to strength. Now that Lin Feng has defeated Dongfang Sheng, he might even be more outstanding than the past Dongfang Sheng. This is a blessing for Myriad Academy.”

“Once Lin Feng breaks the genetic lock, there’s no knowing how formidable he will be. We have to focus on nurturing him!”

Many people were thrilled. When Lin Feng killed dire beast kings before, it had only surprised these inhuman experts, and got them to think that Lin Feng was a very talented genius.

Now, Lin Feng defeating the undefeated legend of the Myriad Academy, Dongfang Sheng, had shaken them greatly. In fact, the shock was even greater than when Lin Feng had killed the dire beast kings.

Why was that?

‘The reason was very simple. It was because Dongfang Sheng was a legend. Not only was he a legend at the level of a professional martial artist, he was even more of a legend after breaking the genetic lock.

Dongfang Sheng’s current achievements had already far surpassed theirs, and he had reached an unfathomably profound level. If Lin Feng had even the slightest possibility of possessing such talent, it would be a huge thing.

Inan instant, all the inhuman experts in the Dragon Mountain Base increased attention on Lin Feng to the highest level.

“Chief Commander, what do you think? Should we report the situation to the upper echelons of the academy?”

Someone made the suggestion. The goal was very simple as well. It was to make the upper echelons of the academy, especially those powerful upper echelons, pay attention to Lin Feng, It would be even better if they could accept Lin Feng as a disciple, and could be considered to have given him favors

through ‘mentoring’.

However, Chief Commander Long Duo was unmoved. He said calmly, “The most important thing now is to retreat from the Dragon Mountain Base. As for the matter of Lin Feng, there’s no need to report it to the upper echelons of the academy for the time being. We’ll talk about it after he breaks the

genetic lock.”

Everyone was a little confused. In the past, when they came across geniuses, Chief Commander Long Duo was always very caring and protective, even towards geniuses like Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci. Why was Long Duo a little hesitant when it came to Lin Feng, and even didn’t take him too

seriously?

Long Duo did not explain. He only heaved a long sigh inwardly. The others did not know about Lin Feng’s condition, but he knew it very well. When Lin Feng was unconscious the last time, the doctor had given Lin Feng a full-body checkup. Only Long Duo had seen the report.

The doctor speculated that Lin Feng only had a year of life expectancy due to his strange illness.

Ina year’s time, Lin Feng might not even be able to break the genetic lock. However great his genius, what would it come to?

Hence, Long Duo did not want to cause Lin Feng too many disturbances. He only hoped that Lin Feng could get through this year in peace.

“What a pity. Why is a genius on par with Dongfang Sheng afflicted with such a strange illness?”

Long Duo felt that it was a pity, but he would never spread the word about Lin Feng’s strange illness. This wouldn’t do Lin Feng any good.

“All right, it’s settled. All of you can go and make preparations.”

Long Duo waved his hand. Everyone in the conference room left, while only Professor Wei stayed in the end.

“Professor Wei, tell me. What are you guys worried about?”

Long Duo knew Professor Wei very well. Professor Wei clearly didn’t say everything just now.

Professor Wei’s expression was solemn as he said in a low voice, “Chief Commander, it’s necessary to speed up the retreat. I have a terrible premonition about these new dire beasts. They’re even more terrifying than Predators.”

“Premonition?”

“Not entirely. They’re different from any of the Predators I’ve studied before, so I’d like to remind the Chief Commander.”

Long Duo nodded and said, “Professor Wei, once you discover anything from researching the fleshworm dire beasts, you must report to me immediately.”

“Tunderstand.”

With that, Professor Wei stood up and left the conference room.

Long Duo shook his head, but he had mixed feelings. The instability of the Dragon Mountain Base, coupled with the Lin Feng’s matter, put him in a very poor mood. He only hoped that they could retreat soon without any accidents.

Ina huge underground tunnel in the vast mountains, magma was surging vaguely, even bubbling with searing heat, as if it would erupt at any moment.

Yet a naked man leaped into the magma.

The terrifying temperature in the magma would probably reduce even a piece of steel to molten iron in an instant, let alone a body of flesh and blood.

However, after the man had leaped in, he seemed to be enjoying himself. His entire body had sunk into the magma, leaving only his head above. Furthermore, his expression was very calm.

One hour, two hours, three hours

The man seemed to be enjoying staying in the magma. He stayed there for a few hours without any intention of getting up.

suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the underground tunnel. A man in fiery-red armor walked in and said to the figure in the magma, “Boss, a little fellow defeated you in the Virtual Battle Chamber.”

“Defeated me?”

‘The man in the magma suddenly opened his eyes, and the magma surrounding him started bubbling vigorously.

“That’s right. It’s a little fellow called Lin Feng.”

“Lin Feng? Interesting little fellow. Gather his information. He’s got good potential if he could beat my strongest attack back then, the Lotus of Ice and Fire.”

“Boss, you’ve misjudged him this time. He’s indeed quite talented, but according to my investigation, he’s in a lot of trouble now. He’s been afflicted with a strange illness since he was young, and after fighting dire beasts with his life at the Dragon Mountain Base, it’s very likely that he only has one year

left to live.”

“Strange illness? What a pity. If he can’t break the genetic lock, all that is ultimately for naught!”

With that, the man closed his eyes again and soaked himself in the magma in silence..
