But suddenly, Luo Yongtian actually wanted to see the bottom line of Shanhai's strength.
Having him fight the Seventh Force didn't seem impossible.
Luo Yongtian stroked his chin, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
And Lin Feng had indeed made a note of the Seventh Force.
If there was an opportunity, he wouldn't mind eliminating the Seventh Force before the Black Robes completely collapsed.
No one who offended him could get away unscathed.
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Feng decided to join Old Man Luo Yongtian's faction.
Luo Yongtian's faction ranked high, and many things would be much more convenient.
Moreover, looking at the old man, his fluent Mandarin, and his Eastern appearance, Lin Feng instinctively leaned towards Luo Yongtian.
"Alright, since that's the case, I want to join..."
"Wait a moment!"
Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, another black vortex appeared in the room.
Lin Feng's eyebrows twitched. Damn.
Good heavens, another first-tier Boss?
What kind of day is it today? So lively?
It seemed that within the Black Robes, there weren't as many high-level fighters as he imagined.
Or perhaps, they valued his future?
From within the black vortex, a man fully clad in a black robe emerged.
Although it was a black robe, it was different from other black robes.
The luster and pattern of the fabric, as well as the hidden aura, were completely beyond ordinary black robes.
This black robe was none other than the leader of the Gold and Silver Tree, Jin. Henry.
Now, that made three faction leaders from the first tier. One more and they could form a table for Mahjong.
Lin Feng now felt like a contestant on "The Voice of China," with three spinning mentors fighting over him.
As soon as Jin entered the room, he shot a glare at Luo Yongtian and the other person.
His tone was equally impolite.
"Stealing my base while I'm away?"
"Old Luo, and Egert, are you not taking me seriously?"
Jin had just finished some business outside and rushed back after hearing his subordinate's report.
Shanhai was under his faction, and he had been paying attention to them.
After learning about Shanhai's performance in the selection rounds, he had already planned Shanhai's future development and was waiting to meet Shanhai after the third round.
And guess what?
These two scoundrels, one more shameless than the other, were already trying to poach his people right after the second round ended.
And they showed up in person, degrading the prestige of the first tier.
However, Jin also knew that Shanhai's performance was worth it.
"You can't say that," Luo Yongtian said, slightly displeased.
"As the saying goes, people strive to improve, and water flows to lower ground. Where Shanhai wants to go is his own choice, isn't it?"
"Besides, you didn't pay attention to Shanhai before, did you?"
Jin was flustered.
"Nonsense, I've been paying attention to Shanhai all along!"
Luo Yongtian didn't believe a word of it.
"If you were paying attention to Shanhai and knew his abilities, wouldn't you be hiding him and not let him participate in the selection?"
Luo Yongtian directly exposed Jin's lie.
If Shanhai were under his faction, there would be no need to participate in any selection. Such talent should be hidden as a trump card.
And Jin? Allowing Shanhai to participate in the selection implicitly indicated that he had not paid attention to Shanhai before.
"You!" Jin's expression flickered.
This old man was truly showing him no respect, completely disregarding him!
"Um... let me say something..."
Lin Feng felt he had to interject at this point.
Mainly, he was afraid that these people would go on endlessly. He had already made his decision, and there was no need for further delay.
"Kid, you speak," Luo Yongtian said, completely ignoring Jin.
Lin Feng looked directly at Luo Yongtian.
"Actually, I just made a decision."
"I can join your faction, but I have one condition."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yongtian's heart rejoiced.
Let alone one condition, he could agree to ten or eight if he could fulfill them.
From the first round, it was evident that Shanhai handled Aaron with ease. Even standing in front of him, Luo Yongtian couldn't ascertain the depth of his strength.
It was the right decision to come looking for Shanhai personally. Looking at Shanhai before him, Luo Yongtian showed a resolute side. Shanhai must join his faction.
If Lin Feng knew he thought this way, he would definitely burst into laughter.
Luo Yongtian clasped his hands behind his back with interest.
"You speak, as long as my faction can do it!"
Lin Feng pointed at Ophelia, who was standing beside him, dumbfounded and on the verge of losing consciousness.
"My condition is that she becomes my partner."
"That is to say, she has to join the third faction with me!"
Lin Feng had not forgotten these outsider twins.
It could be said that the biggest gain from Lin Feng participating in this selection, besides breaking into the core, was finding a wild, super-rare, golden shining outsider twin.
As for other conditions, such as items, as long as Lin Feng joined, Luo Yongtian would likely not refuse him in the future.
Luo Yongtian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"I thought it was some condition, and it's just this?"
"I can answer you right now, no problem!"
Luo Yongtian was very happy. With Shanhai's addition, his faction had gained another sharp sword.
However, this sharp sword had to be used carefully.
Shanhai's personality was such that if not handled properly, it could harm his own people!
As the dust settled, Egert sighed and shook his head.
In fact, he knew that his success rate in recruiting Shanhai was not high.
But he knew that things were about making an effort, and one had to try.
Now that Shanhai had made his choice, he had no reason to stay.
"If you change your mind in the future, you are welcome to join my faction!"
Egert said, nodded at Lin Feng, and then decisively left.
Like Luo Yongtian, he couldn't see through Lin Feng's strength, so even though the other party hadn't joined his faction, Egert was unwilling to make an enemy.
But Jin. Henry seemed to not understand this. His face had turned as black as mud, though it was hidden under his black robe.
"Shanhai, are you sure you want to betray the Gold and Silver Tree?" Jin asked coldly, suppressing his anger, looking at Shanhai.
Lin Feng tilted his head, amused.
"Jin, is it?"
"We are all in the same organization, so how can there be talk of betrayal?"
Jin's expression grew even colder.
He hadn't expected Shanhai to retort to him on the spot.
Who was he? The controller of the fifth force in the first tier.
"Arrogant! Shanhai, do you not know your place?!"
"Have you forgotten the system within the Black Robes?!"
There was a strict hierarchy within the Black Robes, and if Lin Feng acted this way, Jin could order his execution.
Luo Yongtian stood by with interest, not speaking.
He wanted to see how Shanhai would handle the current situation.
Was Lin Feng afraid of Jin's threat?
What a joke, he wasn't scared at all!
