The Land of Fallen Gods was bustling tonight, more lively than ever before.

Every one or two hours, deafening thunderclaps would resound, after which all the vengeful spirits would fall into a state of unrest.

Faced with this terrifying parade of a thousand ghosts, Xu Rongguang and the others, after successfully devouring vengeful spirits, quickly returned to the camp.

They were frightened.

Although the thunderclaps captured the attention of the vengeful spirits, they also drove the spirits into a state of revolt; it was safe to be far away, but if one accidentally ended up in the same area as the Avengers Alliance, it wouldn’t be fun anymore.

Even the aliens who were preparing to ambush and assassinate the Human Race had no choice but to withdraw from the Land of Fallen Gods.

No one knew what the Avengers Alliance was up to?

Nor did anyone understand why they dared to be so arrogant, unafraid of the vengeful spirits.

It wasn’t until dawn that the thunderclaps gradually subsided, and at this time the vengeful spirits also returned to their residing spiritual artifacts.

...

Amidst the swirling dust, at this moment, Lin Feng and his group were riding their Flying Dragon Steeds, heading towards the camp.

They spent an entire night capturing three weapon-wielding vengeful spirits. The three vengeful spirits wielded weapons: a sword, a knife, and a pair of gauntlets, nearly covering the combat professions of the Avengers Alliance members.

Like Dong Yunan and Chen Tianming, as long as they trained in basic body techniques, it would be enough.

The Land of Fallen Gods was filled with vengeful spirits; though weapon-wielding spirits were few, it wasn’t impossible to find them, but Gong Xiaoxiao’s ability could only seal three vengeful spirits.

The return to the camp was smooth, unobstructed, with no ambushes or assaults, not even a few human figures were seen.

When they appeared outside the camp, they instantly drew everyone’s attention.

The tall and handsome Flying Dragon Steeds made many people drool, and the presence of sixteen riders silently intimidated others.

Although Flying Dragon Steeds didn’t have long-range attack capabilities, with their robust bodies, they possessed formidable melee abilities.

With sixteen Flying Dragon Steeds charging at once, no one could withstand them.

"Ha ha."

Yu Qiao, riding atop a Flying Dragon Steed, had a smile at the corner of his mouth.

He thoroughly enjoyed this envious gaze.

This was a deliberate high-profile display.

Ordinarily, one could keep a low profile, but there was no need for that now.

They had to let the official leaders see their strength and potential, and let their competitors know their power.

The King Becoming plan was an elimination competition, naturally starting by eliminating the weakest.

Therefore, showcasing strength was very necessary, especially since they were still young and others didn’t regard their strength highly.

After verifying their identities, Lin Feng and his group rode their Flying Dragon Steeds into the camp.

"So arrogant!"

Someone said in envy.

The Flying Dragon Steeds were so tall, their backs were three meters from the ground. People had to look up to see the faces of Lin Feng and the others.

This feeling of looking up was unpleasant.

Once inside the camp, everyone dismounted, and as the Flying Dragon Steeds shattered into star mist, slowly merging into their bodies, it once again caused a chorus of amazement.

Ninth tier mounts were precious, but not rare, after all, everyone present possessed Ninth Grade strength.

Many of them had Ninth Tier mounts, but they couldn’t bring them to the competition. Taking care of mounts was troublesome, and they would expose their whereabouts.

Mounts like the Flying Dragon Steeds, which could merge into a person’s body and be carried around, truly were everyone’s dream.

How could one not be envious?

These were not just mounts, but also life-saving tools, more precious than soul skills.

"Ye Xing, how did you capture these Flying Dragon Steeds? Aren’t they said to prefer death over submission and extremely proud? How did you tame them?"

The contestants present weren’t familiar with Lin Feng and Ye Qiu, given they weren’t from the same era, the age gap being over a decade, so they didn’t contact each other and were hesitant to ask.

However, many were familiar with Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi, so a thirty-year-old youth couldn’t help but step forward to inquire.

Although others didn’t ask, their eyes clearly showed desire.

If possible, they were willing to pay a high price to buy a Flying Dragon Steed.

Chen Junhao also looked at Ye Xing, and if it wasn’t for the previous conflict between Zhao Zhou and Yun Tianqi making things awkward, he would have asked directly. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Lucky."

Ye Xing smiled, offering little explanation.

The Ginseng Baby had already been exposed and couldn’t be hidden, but the less people knew about the Duck Egg, the better.

Even if people learned of the Duck Egg’s existence, its abilities should remain hidden.

Seeing Ye Xing unwilling to elaborate, the youth couldn’t hide his disappointment, but he didn’t pursue the matter, planning to find another time to ask in private.

In such a public setting, some topics indeed shouldn’t be discussed.

A curious middle-aged man asked, "What about the Ginseng Baby? Didn’t you catch a Ginseng Baby in the Spirit Plant land?"

They all knew that the Ginseng Baby was key in luring the Flying Dragon Steeds. If they could borrow it for a moment, they’d have a chance to capture a Flying Dragon Steed too.

As long as they could capture one, taming it shouldn’t be too difficult.

Since the Avengers Alliance could tame sixteen Flying Dragon Steeds, it indicated that the difficulty of taming wasn’t as legendary as said; they might succeed too.

Ye Xing smiled but didn’t respond.

"Really? So stingy," someone muttered in dissatisfaction.

Ye Xing glanced at the person, choosing to ignore the comment, as if he hadn’t heard it.

"Why did the Avengers Alliance gain two more people?"

"Seems like a pair of siblings, they’re so young! Isn’t this a waste of a spot?"

"Probably helper slots, haven’t heard of such young candidates."

"This is obviously because the Avengers Alliance recently posted openly on the Martial Artist Forum recruiting new members; many submitted applications. My brother did too, didn’t think they’d select this pair of siblings!"

Many people were discussing as they watched the Gongshan siblings.

Lin Feng and his group were already young enough to make these people doubt their own talents.

Now, there were two even younger ones, one like an ordinary high schooler, the other a little girl around four to five years old?

Moreover, the little girl’s vacant gaze made her seem a bit foolish.

Is this King Becoming plan child’s play?

The arrival of the Avengers Alliance sparked a flurry of discussions; not just in Hua Country, but contestants worldwide were talking.

Some were curious about how they captured the Flying Dragon Steeds, and others wondered what they did last night.

Some also were curious about Gong Xiaoxiao’s identity and abilities.

Bringing Gong Xiaoxiao along certainly had a reason, the Avengers Alliance wouldn’t do it without one; people just didn’t know why.

After a while, attention began to shift.

At this point, there were still 21 hours left until the gathering time.

Everyone who was supposed to arrive had already arrived; even the Avengers Alliance had, and those who hadn’t were eliminated.

"Everyone’s here; I wonder what will happen afterward? There’s no news at all."

"One gathering task, and two to three hundred people were eliminated, over a ten percent elimination rate. Achieving King Becoming isn’t easy!"

"Who knows? I have some regrets, thinking that even if eliminated, gaining a trainee slot would be good, but now it seems I might gain nothing."

"Why overthink? No matter what, you must persevere. Otherwise, those kings blew themselves up in vain?"

"Yes, definitely must persevere."

In the camp, there was no entertainment or tasks to do; few had the mood for cultivation now, so everyone was chatting idly.

They were all speculating about what the first task after gathering would be.

Some people navigated through the crowd, mingling.

After all, this is a society of human connections.
