Qin Feng controlled Yuri and walked towards the target location.
Not long after, he saw a group of people gathering ahead, undoubtedly the venue for the competition.
Everyone had arrived, and the reason they were rushing was simple: to secure the most advantageous positions to watch this great battle.
This was a duel between the second-ranked powerhouse in the region and the eighth-ranked powerhouse. They might learn a lot from it, and at the very least, cheering for Elder Cheng Yezi would bring benefits in the Peace Alliance later on.
As they got closer, a high platform appeared. It was an artificially constructed platform, much like a fighting stage. A person in purple clothing stood on the stage, receiving cheers from the surrounding crowd.
"Elder Cheng Yezi, you are mighty! Elder Cheng Yezi, you must teach that Qin Feng a harsh lesson today and let him know the consequences of selfishness!"
"Elder Cheng Yezi, you are my idol! Not only are you powerful, but you are also handsome. If I had a daughter, I would definitely let her marry you!"
"Go, Cheng Yezi! Make sure that Qin Feng never returns, and let him know the vast difference between the second and eighth ranks!"
"Elder Cheng Yezi, you are mighty and domineering! You are the most righteous person in our Peace Alliance. Teach this Qin Feng a lesson so he can't act wickedly or arbitrarily snatch our resources anymore. Let him understand what our Peace Alliance truly is."
Hearing the cheers from the crowd, Ye Shen, wearing a helmet, couldn't help but grumble, "These guys are so obsequious, it's disgusting. Have they forgotten how they spoke about me when I first significantly increased my level? Now they're cursing us. It's outrageous, these people deserve to die."
Qin Feng said nothing. He simply continued to control Yuri forward. When they were still some distance from the stage, people noticed him.
"Look quickly, isn't that Qin Feng? He looks so thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. How can someone like this kill a commander-level monster and occupy the eighth position on the regional leaderboard?"
"I don't know if that's Qin Feng, but he's definitely not from our Peace Alliance, because our Peace Alliance doesn't have anyone with such a strange build. Look at that yellow cloak he's wearing, it's so disgusting, like a pile of dung. And look at his face, it's devoid of any expression. Everyone in our Peace Alliance wears a happy smile; it's impossible to have such a zombie face."
"That's right, he's not from our Peace Alliance, nor is he anyone I know. He must be Qin Feng. Who else could be such a strange person with such an evil face, other than the Qin Feng who is despised by everyone?"
"That guy is so weak, I feel like I could defeat him. Is it not an insult to Elder Cheng Yezi to have someone like this compete against him? Why don't we go up there right now and chop him into meat paste? There's no need to adhere to martial ethics with someone like this. Since he has offended the Peace Alliance, he is an enemy to everyone in our region. Let's kill him first, then capture that Ye Shen hiding behind him. That way, our region will be clean, and these two parasites will disappear."
"Yes, that's right. I also think we shouldn't bother with martial ethics with someone like this. Let's all attack him together and chop him into meat paste. Why waste Elder Cheng Yezi's strength?"
"Yes, I agree!"
"I agree!"
"Kill Qin Feng, kill Qin Feng!"
Hearing these words, Ye Shen exclaimed, "This is bad!"
"These people are so disrespectful of martial ethics, they're preparing to rush us. What are you going to do?"
Qin Feng replied calmly, "What's there to fear? He's just my substitute. Even if these guys rush us and disregard ethics, we can still retreat safely."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shen nodded, his heart finally at ease.
Indeed, they were still very far from the stage, and those people wouldn't be able to find them. There was no need for them to worry about a mere puppet.
However, she still found it difficult to accept losing a combat unit for nothing. She couldn't help but curse, "These guys are too detestable! This is a powerful subordinate you summoned with the strength you accumulated over three days and three nights, and they've ruined it like this. It's such a pity. But if they dare to rush us, you should let your subordinate fight with all his might. At least make these guys pay some price, don't let them get away unscathed!"
Qin Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have my ways!"
With that, he controlled Yuri and looked at a person nearby. That person was quite close, robust, and seemed to have good combat power. He also held a shining sword, clearly a treasure, likely obtained from the beginner's gift package.
Qin Feng decided to practice with this person.
As he controlled Yuri and focused his attention on this person, a new sensation suddenly appeared in his mind. The number of units he could control had increased by one: this burly man holding a sword.
At the same time, the information about this burly man appeared in his mind.
[Health: 500, Comprehensive Combat Power: 20.]
Seeing this prompt, Qin Feng was overjoyed. This was the first time he had controlled Yuri to manipulate other units. Although this person with only 500 health and 20 combat power was nothing remarkable, it had opened a new door for him. He could now control people with combat power below 100 using Yuri.
He wanted to test the extent of this control.
Therefore, he commanded the burly man to turn around and say to everyone, "Everyone, please be quiet. Let's not act rashly. Since Elder Qin Feng and Elder Cheng Yezi had a prior agreement for a one-on-one duel, we should not interfere. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to both elders."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately fell silent.
It wasn't because his words were reasonable, but because this person had actually referred to Qin Feng as "Elder Qin Feng." This clearly went against their views. As members of the Peace Alliance, everyone usually called Qin Feng scum, trash, and so on. Yet, this person was calling Qin Feng an elder, what was going on?
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Wang Xiang, did you eat the wrong medicine today? You're usually the one who curses Qin Feng the most. Why are you comparing him to an elder today? You're even putting him on par with Elder Cheng Yezi. Are you alright?"
"Yes, Wang Xiang, have you forgotten the rules of the Peace Alliance? Our Peace Alliance must unite and face external threats. What do you mean by saying such things now? Weren't you the one who wanted to chop Qin Feng into meat paste just now? How can your words be so contradictory?"
Hearing their words, Qin Feng found it amusing and affirmed Yuri's control ability.
Through Yuri's mind control, he could make the controlled person speak according to his will, which would be very beneficial in the future.
Could he go a step further? For example, fight for him!
