Chapter 108: What did you just say?

  A thin and ordinary boy suddenly appeared in front of everyone...

  Everyone's gaze was focused on the young figure, and when they saw what was on his chest, the entire assessment site instantly erupted!

  "Wow, it's a Mercenary Badge! That kid really made it!"

  "No way! Is this for real? Are you kidding me?"

  "It's just, I think it's definitely a scam, how can such a thing happen? I don't believe it!"

  "Hey, you guys think this examiner is intentionally going easy on us?"

  "Nonsense, this is impossible! Don't you know how much the Mercenary Guild values and strictly enforces assessments? All these years, have you ever heard of the Mercenary Guild faking an assessment?"

  "Huh? Hearing you say that, is this really true?! He actually has the strength of a Xuan Jiang level! How is this possible?!"

  "That's right! If the assessment is true, wouldn't that mean this young man who looks no more than twenty years old actually has a profound general level of strength? That's just too ridiculous!"

  "No, it's still possible! Doesn't Yunhai Academy have two? Why can't they be seen in the Mercenary Guild? You know, the Mercenary Guild is not inferior to Yunhai Academy in terms of numbers, and may even surpass them. With such a large population base, it's not surprising that one or two extraordinary geniuses appear!"

  "It seems that there is indeed some truth to this! It appears that this young man is truly a genius, with such strength at such a young age. If he doesn't fall in the future, he will surely become another powerful being above the Mystic Spirit realm!"

  "My goodness! Who would have thought that we actually witnessed the birth of a once-in-a-lifetime genius! The birth of a miracle!"

  "How ridiculous! We used to mock him, saying he was doing it on purpose, that he was showy. Who would have thought?! The other party really does have this kind of ability! Just thinking about what we said before makes me laugh at myself for being so shallow. Some people are like that, but not everyone is!"

  "Ah, this is also an unavoidable thing. After all, similar things have happened too many times before, and it's not strange to have such thoughts. Everyone has been misled by this mindset!"

  ......

  When Lin Feng first saw so many people outside the door, he felt a little surprised for a moment. However, when he heard these people discussing, his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, and he felt a little displeased in his heart. He secretly thought to himself, "Was I too high-profile before? It seems that from now on, I should be more low-key, so as not to be treated like a monkey again!"

  He walked out of the door and ignored the envious eyes of the crowd, directly coming to where Feng Ze and his group were resting, saying calmly: "Let's go."

  At this moment, Feng Ze and others' mood is unknown how cool, looking at the praise of these people in front of them, their mood is simply bursting with joy!

  Thinking to himself with a sense of pride, "Look, this is our captain! His strength is absolutely top-notch! Earlier, he actually dared to say that our captain was showing off on purpose, how despicable! Hmph, now you know your mistake!"

  Feng Ze and others heard Lin Feng's shout, just about to take Lin Feng to apply for the mercenary group, but before they could take a few steps, they suddenly felt that several figures flashed in front of their eyes. In no time, Lin Feng was surrounded by a group of people who rushed up from behind!

  Damn!

  What's going on?

  Feng Ze and others were stunned by the scene in front of them!

  As a former confidant, Feng Ze thought for a moment and suddenly understood!

  If his guess was correct, these people in front of him should be the forces that want to win over Lin Feng.

  Sure! Here is the translation:

  "Sure enough, what happened next was just as he had expected!"

  A slightly chubby middle-aged man with bright and spirited eyes approached Lin Feng, wearing a gentle smile, and said in an extremely warm tone: "Young brother, I don't know if you've joined any mercenary group? If not, why not join our Holy Light Mercenary Group?"

  "Our Holy Light Mercenary Corps has a silver eight-star mercenary medal, and now it has become a mercenary corps with 200 people. The members of our mercenary corps are united and harmonious, friendly and coexisting, not bullying the weak, having responsibility..."

  Lin Feng stared at the other person in a daze, his words were like a river that would not stop, exaggerating to the point where Lin Feng almost fainted. In his heart, he secretly lamented, "Nima, do you have to be so over-the-top? You're almost as bad as Zhang Qingfeng's little brat with his Tightening Curse!"

  However, when it came to this silver eight-star mercenary badge, Lin Feng still felt a little surprised. He didn't expect that a silver eight-star mercenary corps would actually find him.

  For this silver medal, it was manufactured for subdividing grades.

  At the same level, there can be a big difference in strength. For example, two eight-star mercenaries may have different levels of power, with one being a Xuanjiang (Mystic General) at level 1 and the other at level 9. Between them, the stronger one will naturally feel discontent towards the eight-star mercenary, thinking "Why am I so much stronger than you, yet we're still at the same level?"

  In order to avoid intensifying this contradiction, the Mercenary Guild came up with a slightly more moderate solution, which is to further subdivide one level.

  Generally speaking, a mercenary of level one to three has a bronze medal, like Lin Feng's. A mercenary of level four to six has a silver medal, and a mercenary of level seven to eight has a gold medal.

  In other words, the mercenary group that Lin Feng was talking about had a leader who was at least a level 4 Xuan Jiang master.

  Lin Feng was about to respond, but the middle-aged man's words suddenly stirred up the crowd like a beehive, instantly "enraging" the people around him, each one not willing to show weakness and started self-recommending themselves.

  "This little brother, we are the Mercenary Group of the Chaotic World, and also possess the Silver Eight-Star Medal. Join us, we won't be any worse than that so-called Holy Light Mercenary Group."

  "This little brother, we are the Night Glow Mercenary Group's..."

  "This little brother, we..."

  ......

  These people's mercenary groups basically all have silver mercenary medals, as for those with copper medals, not a single one exists. It's not that they don't want to, but rather they simply don't have the capability. There are many higher-level mercenary groups than them inviting others, if they insist on going, isn't that just asking for humiliation?

  "Stop! I..."

  Lin Feng was just about to tell them the truth, that he wanted to form a mercenary group and wouldn't join any of theirs, when he was interrupted by a voice.

  "Hey, kid. Are you the one who just passed the eight-star assessment? Don't bother with those mercenary groups, join our Night Blood Mercenary Group instead. It's definitely a wise choice! Oh, and I forgot to tell you, our Night Blood Mercenary Group has the Golden Eight-Star Mercenary Badge."

  A young man, about twenty-four or five years old, walked over from one side with a strong stride, his face carrying an arrogant expression. Seeing the people around Lin Feng, he revealed a hint of disdain and contempt in his eyes!

  Hiss!

  The onlookers couldn't help but gasp in shock!

  Everyone looked at Lin Feng with envy, this young man's luck was so good! So many mercenary groups had invited him to join, and now even the owner of the Golden Mercenary Group had invited him. This treatment was truly enviable!

  Those who invited Lin Feng to join their mercenary group, originally hearing his arrogant tone, furrowed their brows and showed anger on their faces. However, when they heard that he was from the Golden Emblem Mercenary Group, their expressions changed drastically. The angry looks disappeared, replaced by retreat, tolerance, and a hint of resentment!

  Lin Feng's eyebrows also slightly furrowed, and he glanced at the other person without responding. Instead, with a hint of apology, he said to the people beside him: "I appreciate your kind intentions! However, please forgive me for not being able to accept, as I have already promised someone else that I would be their team leader. A man's word is his bond, so I'm afraid I must decline. Sorry, everyone!"

  "Good! A good person cannot establish himself without credibility!"

  Suddenly a burst of applause erupted, Lin Feng turned his head to look over and saw that the person speaking was the middle-aged man who had spoken with him at first.

  This person, Lin Feng had been paying attention to him all along. He was the only one who didn't show any change in expression when he heard that young man mention the mercenary rank earlier.

  After hearing about the young man's background, he can still put on this show, it seems that he is definitely not simple!

  Gu Yihuang burst out laughing and patted Lin Feng's shoulder, praising him without reserve: "Haha, kid, I admire you! People who value integrity as much as you do are hard to come by these days! Since you've said so, I won't press the issue. Let's just forget about what happened earlier!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he strode away.

  His movements were so swift and decisive, without a moment of hesitation or pause.

  It seems this person is really extraordinary!

  Looking at the other's back, Lin Feng secretly thought to himself!

  And those people around Lin Feng, as soon as they heard someone say that, they also followed suit and said no more about the matter earlier, praising Lin Feng for being loyal and righteous...

  In an instant, what was originally a crowd of people surrounding Lin Feng now left only Lin Feng standing alone.

  The speed of this transformation left Feng Ze and the others stunned, their eyes wide with shock, their mouths agape, and they simply didn't dare to believe that what they were seeing was real!

  "Alright, let's go!"

  Lin Feng slowly let out a breath and prepared to leave, saying to Feng Ze and others beside him.

  "Huh? Oh!"

  Feng Ze was stunned for a moment, then responded and followed up.

  But just as they had only taken a few steps, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of them, stretching out its hand to block their path.

  Everyone looked intently and found that this person was the young man who had just claimed that their mercenary group possessed the Golden Mercenary Badge.

  However, the young man's face was no longer as calm as before, but rather gloomy and full of anger, staring at Lin Feng and saying coldly: "What did you mean by your words just now? Do you look down on our Night Blood Mercenary Group?"
