Chapter 71: The Four Newborn Powers

  There are two reasons. One is that Lin Feng is alone, weak and vulnerable to attacks from other forces. Although he is not afraid, but people will always have a limit to their strength. His doubled skill cooldown time is one of the reasons why he can't fight for long periods of time. Even if the cooldown time is only a few seconds, in battle, often just one or two seconds can decide victory or defeat, and that's a price he can't afford to pay.

  Once he becomes the leader of Shi Chen's forces, he will have time to entangle with the opponent and won't be afraid of their human sea tactics.

  Secondly, Lin Feng needs someone to help him look up some information about the Hundred Flowers Palace, because he found that he underestimated the regional scope of this world. Just yesterday, through some books in the college, he learned that the area of White Cloud City alone is over 10,000 square kilometers, and White Cloud City is just a third-tier small city on the periphery of the Southern Domain. Above it, there are second-tier and first-tier cities.

  Those secondary cities, often with hundreds of millions of square kilometers, and even slightly larger secondary cities, have thousands of millions of square kilometers. Just a slightly larger secondary city is already bigger than China, which is the third largest country in the world by area with only 9.6 million square kilometers. Now, being here can only comment on the size of a secondary city.

  And those first-tier cities are even more terrifying, any first-tier city has an area of over 100 million square kilometers, and the larger ones have over 1 billion square kilometers. The total area of the Earth is only 510 million square kilometers, which is twice as large as the total area of the Earth! The area of a single first-tier city is even larger than the total area of the Earth! What kind of logic is this?

  Light is a first-tier city, so how big is Nandu? How large is the area of Nandu?

  According to Lin Feng's understanding, there are at least more than ten first-class cities in the Southern Domain alone. What about other places? Since there is a Southern Domain, there must be other regions. How many first-class cities would there be if you add up all the other regions? In short, Lin Feng didn't dare to imagine it, and this kind of data almost made him feel like he was going crazy - what kind of world is this?!

  ．．．．．．

  "Shichen, what is the name of this organization's power? How many people plan to participate? And you mentioned earlier that there are several new factions formed by others, so who formed them? How many are there? What about their strength?"

  Since he had already promised them, Lin Feng naturally wanted to get these basic things clear. Either don't do it or do it to the best of his ability. So in one breath, he actually asked out so many questions.

  It's okay, Shi Chen's brain was quite useful and he actually remembered all the words Lin Feng had said. He replied one by one: "The name of our force hasn't been decided yet, we plan to wait until you arrive and then decide what to call it. As for those who want to join, there are probably only twenty or so people, most of whom are people we've just met in the past day or two. Although the number is much smaller than that of other new forces, I believe we can quickly catch up with them."

  When Lin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. He had thought that this force would have at least fifty people, if not over a hundred. But what he didn't expect was that there were only twenty or so people, which was really beyond his expectations.

  To know, this year's freshmen are as many as thousands of people, twenty people and thousands of people, which is really too far apart! Lin Feng almost couldn't help but turn around and leave when he heard it. Fortunately, he was honest, patient, handsome, and... (omitted one million words!) Otherwise, he would have said directly, "This number is unbearable, please find someone else!" Then he would have turned around, put his hands behind his back, and left with a swagger.

  "There are four newly formed forces, namely the Golden Blade Alliance, the Iron Blood Gate, the Heavenly Mansion, and the Red Flower Society. Among them, the leader of the Golden Blade Alliance is called Zhao Badao, a nineteen-year-old with fourth-level Xianshi cultivation, who wields exceptional knife skills. The leader of the Iron Blood Gate is also named Iron Blood, a nineteen-year-old with fourth-level Xianshi cultivation, known for his generous personality and fondness for taking care of weaker new students."

  Whoa!

  Hong Hua Hui, he didn't mishear, did he? He thought of the organization that overthrew the Qing and restored the Ming in movies on Earth... Before he could think more, he heard Shi Chen continue to speak.

  The leader of the Tianqiong Prefecture is named Xiao Yimin, who is also nineteen years old. As for his strength, it's quite mysterious because no one knows exactly how strong he is. The only thing known is that he once repelled a second-year student with a cultivation base at the third level of Xuan Shi with just one palm strike. Therefore, everyone speculates that his strength must be at least above the fourth level of Xuan Shi.

  "The leader of the Red Flower Society is a woman, and a beautiful one at that. Her name is Murong Yan, about 19 years old, with suspected strength at level five of the Mystic Master. As for why she formed this force, it's quite simple: previously, a second-year student had seen her beauty and made a move on her."

  "But little did they know, Murong Yan took action on the spot and crippled the hand of that sophomore student who was a level 4 Xuan Shi. Afterwards, she formed this force called Hong Hua Hui, only recruiting female students, with the reason being: we need to rely on ourselves to protect ourselves, no need for those stinky men's protection!"

  Sweat!

  Lin Feng wiped the virtual sweat from his forehead with his hand, this reason is quite powerful! It seems that this Red Flower has nothing to do with the Red Flower on Earth, it's just a namesake.

  "These four forces were all formed yesterday, but their numbers have basically broken through 100 now and are still increasing. So if we want to form a new force, we must hurry up, otherwise all the newcomers will be snatched away by them."

  Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully for a moment, then said, "Mm, you're right. Let's go now and take me to see those people you told me about. They will be the first batch of members of our forces."

  Shi Chen was overjoyed and said, "Great, let's go now. We've already asked them to wait for us in the courtyard we jointly rent. Also, I told them that once we successfully invite you, that courtyard will become the base of our power. Lin Yang, I think you won't object, right?"

  Lin Feng was taken aback, not expecting them to have already thought of the new force's territory. To rent a courtyard in the academy, it would cost at least tens of thousands of silver coins, and they only had more than 20 people, which means each person would need to contribute at least 500 silver coins.

  You can tell they're not wealthy by their clothes, and now they even have to scrape together money to rent a house. It seems they've come with the attitude that if they don't succeed, they'll just die trying.

  No wonder they looked so disappointed and painful when they heard him unwilling to respond to their request earlier, it turned out to be because of this reason!

  (Second update is up, done, time's not enough, miscalculation, can't have three updates today. Aw, continue tomorrow!)
