Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 469 - 340: Retirement (2)

At this moment, the other party really thought I cared about the glory battle.

"Whatever, these aren’t things we can decide, let’s see what the club thinks."

Someone said indifferently.

This is also the thought of most people, not to consider too much, just go with the flow.

Ye Xing smiled, turned around, and left.

No matter the outcome of the meeting, he had already made up his mind inside.

Xie Yixiao wanted to follow but gave up the idea after looking at Yun Tianqi.

Yun Tianqi caught up with Ye Xing’s steps, laughing as he walked:

"Everyone else looks worried, but I see you’re already eager to leave the Alliance, aren’t you?"

Ye Xing did not stop walking or respond; he just glanced at Yun Tianqi and showed a hint of a smile.

Indeed, he couldn’t wait to leave.

He wasn’t from a prominent family or some wealthy heir; his parents ran a business, earning several hundred thousand to over a million a year.

Though they weren’t extremely rich in the base city, they were considered to be above average.

Compared to Yun Tianqi, who came from the slums, his family conditions were a hundred times better, yet he still couldn’t afford to purchase a demon spirit with a Purple Gold soul skill.

The higher level the demon spirit, the more careful the selection of soul skills, and the higher the costs.

In his sophomore year, he signed a contract with Juxing Club for a maximum term of ten years to gain resources.

After graduating in his senior year, he directly entered the Glory Professional Alliance.

The next year, he became one of the top ten All-Stars and was even hailed as the number one warrior in the Alliance.

Back then, he truly enjoyed it all.

Enjoyed the fans’ cheers, enjoyed the feeling under the spotlight.

But now, he was tired of it all.

The fans’ cheers didn’t give him any sense of achievement; if not for the contract and the glory battle, he would have left the Alliance long ago.

Lin Feng and his seven companions’ recent remarkable feat shocked and filled him with envy.

That seemed to be what he truly longed for.

Lin Feng and his seven companions’ achievements were far more glorious than his as the number one in glory.

He even somewhat envied Lin Feng.

There was still a year and five months before the glory battle began.

Ye Xing initially planned to quit the Professional Alliance after the glory battle, but now it seemed it was time to do so in advance.

"You say that, but I think you’re more impatient than me."

Ye Xing was silent for a while, then smiled and said.

Yun Tianqi did not deny it; Ye Xing wanted to leave the Alliance, and so did he.

He had everything he needed; staying in the Alliance didn’t lack resources but didn’t significantly enhance his strength. He should show more important values.

As a fellow townsman, Lin Feng was only twenty years old, achieving such glorious feats. How could he, as a senior, fall behind?

"So this time, shall we have some fun?" Ye Xing asked, turning slightly to look at Yun Tianqi.

Yun Tianqi was slightly dazed.

He naturally knew what having some fun meant.

He wasn’t afraid to enter the Land of Chaos.

But with a contract, it wasn’t something they could decide for themselves.

"Having some fun is fine, but with a contract, would the club agree?"

Yun Tianqi asked, somewhat puzzled.

The club had spent massive resources cultivating them; the soul skills he absorbed alone were worth tens of billions, so there’s no way they’d allow them to take risks easily.

If they breached the contract, they’d have to pay a penalty.

That sum of money, he couldn’t afford.

Moreover, bottom line, Thunder had nurtured him, and he didn’t want to fall out with them.

Ye Xing seemed gentle usually, but at this moment, his gaze bore a sharp edge, giving off a feeling of being razor-sharp.

"Then let them have no choice but to agree!"

Ye Xing smiled, his smile showing a hint of liberation, and in the next moment, he slightly clenched his right fist, his entire body radiating dazzling light, as wave upon wave of spiritual power was drawn, surging into his body.

This noticeable commotion attracted everyone’s attention.

"Eighth Grade Grandmaster!"

"Ye Xing broke through!"

"Deliberate, isn’t it? Why break through now!"

Exclamations rang out, everyone looking in disbelief, wide-eyed at the glowing Ye Xing.

Many among them were at the peak of the Seventh Grade, yet had not broken through.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t break through.

Anyone who becomes a professional player is a genius, a super genius.

Many can achieve a breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm, with a conservative estimate of no less than a hundred people.

For the top ten All-Stars, this wasn’t an issue either, let alone the Eighth Grade Grandmaster, without suppressing their strength, even the Ninth Grade Lingyun Realm would appear.

But many professional players forcibly suppressed their strength.

A breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm meant retiring from the Professional Alliance.

Retirement isn’t strange; all professional players eventually retire.

However, as one of the top ten All-Stars, after retiring, Ye Xing’s income would at least cut in half.

The retirement of the Alliance’s number one frenzy warrior surprised everyone; some frowned, while others smiled.

"Surprised?"

As the light faded, Ye Xing smiled at Yun Tianqi, who looked surprised beside him.

His smile carried ease and liberation.

Having broken through, he had no qualms.

Not far away, Xie Yixiao had slightly opened his mouth, a look of shock on his face, even a bit of dismay.

Ye Xing was the captain of Juxing Team and the Alliance’s number one frenzy warrior; his retirement would be a severe blow to the team, not just in terms of performance, but also popularity.

Yun Tianqi was slightly stunned, finally understanding what Ye Xing meant by "no choice."

This way indeed didn’t breach the contract, leaving the club with no options.

He just hadn’t expected Ye Xing not only wanted to enter the "Land of Chaos" but also wanted to leave the Professional Alliance.

Ye Xing even gave up the glory battle!

A Grandmaster Realm powerhouse couldn’t participate in the glory battle.

Yun Tianqi hadn’t thought Ye Xing would be so ruthless, leaving himself no way back, so he laughed as well:

"You’ve got more freedom than me."

Saying this, his entire body also emitted a dazzling light, and soon, he broke through the Grandmaster Realm.

All ten All-Stars, with both Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm and announcing their retirement, left the originally stunned professional players bewildered.

If even the All-Stars retired, is the Alliance still the Alliance?

Do they still have a reason to exist?

At this moment, "bang!" came the sound as the meeting room door swung open, and the top executives from various clubs appeared; their expressions were as grim as could be as they looked at Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing.

Obviously, they had received the news, and the meeting wasn’t even held.

The simultaneous breakthroughs of Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing were no less than a major earthquake for the Alliance.

Retiring at this moment added tremendous pressure to the already unstable Alliance.

Faced with the coach’s severe gaze, Ye Xing smiled slightly, a smile carrying some apology but also calmness.

His glory career would still continue.

Just in a different place.

And in the next second, the dazzling light appeared again, it was Xia Ran!

Exclamations arose as Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi turned to look, as Xia Ran smiled slightly, her gentle smile carrying a touch of pride: "I won’t lose to you!"

After Xia Ran, dazzling lights occasionally appeared in the crowd as one professional player after another chose to break through.

If even the top ten All-Stars didn’t care, what else was there to hold on to?

At this moment, the faces of the top brass of various clubs were terrifyingly dark!

The Glory Alliance, completely finished!
