Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 111 - 109: I’d rather die, jump off the rooftop, than choose Lu Lin!
Chapter 111: Chapter 109: I’d rather die, jump off the rooftop, than choose Lu Lin!
Xu Qinghuan sighed, "She was a good child, but her personality became even more obstinate under Professor Lu’s influence.
"After enrollment, while other students had already started their formal cultivation, she kept wasting time and failed to successfully learn the ’Chaos Scripture.’
"Although she switched to other cultivation techniques six months later, she still wasted a lot of time and energy, falling behind her peers.
"At the end of the first academic year, she had her top scholar status taken away by a student who successfully broke through to the Innate Realm."
Chu Feng shook his head in resignation, feeling that Li Ru’s efforts were unjustified. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
How hard it is to become the top scholar, Chu Feng knew from memory. To always maintain a higher realm than others, the former Chu Feng had practised so intensely that he barely slept or ate.
Day after day, year after year, he repeated the monotonous cycle of generating vital essences, tempering his body, and learning martial techniques, all to achieve good results in the major examinations.
Even after enduring those tough days and nights, there were still family heirs like Yue Baoshan who would fish in the Martial Apprentice pond just to obstruct others.
If it weren’t for a powerful Attribute Panel, Chu Feng might well have been eliminated.
Not to mention women, who generally have slightly less strength and stamina compared to men.
She had barely made her way out of the vast crowd, won the crown of top scholar, and entered the most prestigious university in Quan Longhua.
Only to fall into the hands of Lu Lin, who deceived her into practicing the cursed ’Chaos Scripture.’
She stubbornly wasted an entire half-year of precious time on it.
A half-year, half a child could have been born in that time!
Of course, that Lu Lin is the true culprit!
This guy had none of the responsibility or commitment expected of a teacher; he destroyed a promising top scholar’s future just to prove his own conjecture!
Even if the student herself wanted to learn, you should still hold her back a bit!
At least you should prove the feasibility and safety of the cultivation technique before teaching it to others!
Lu Lin, that guy, is just like that professor from Chang’an University named Lin, both black sheep in the world of academia, birds of a feather!
Chu Feng’s anger blazed fiercely every time he thought of Lu Lin’s invitation, deeply irritated at the thought.
Thinking that just because I’m undesirable now, he can target me and lure me to be his guinea pig?
Laughable!
Even if I die, even if I jump off a rooftop, I would never accept him as my mentor!
’Chaos Scripture,’ only a fool would cultivate it!
...
Wang Xuerui, standing nearby, looked sympathetic; as a fellow female, she was very concerned about what happened to Li Ru afterwards:
"Teacher Xu, how is Li Ru doing now? Where did she go after graduation?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghuan’s expression turned sad, and she shook her head gently, causing a chill in both of their hearts.
She sighed, "That girl, she’s too stubborn!
"After her top scholar title was taken away, she didn’t reflect on the problem properly.
"Instead, she believed that she wasn’t smart enough, not talented enough, which is why she couldn’t learn the ’Chaos Scripture’..."
"I don’t know why her trust in Lu Lin was so firm!
"Although she did not give up on the ’Chaos Scripture,’ she no longer cultivated it recklessly.
"Planning to first reclaim the top scholar title, then advance to a higher realm, and come back to refine this technique with Lu Lin.
"You can’t say her decision was wrong, but because she was no longer the top scholar, the school cancelled all the various free resources and opportunities to use the training facilities.
"Wanting to catch up with the person who took her top scholar title, to cultivate faster, she had to take on missions to earn credits and exchange for vast resources and time in the training facilities.
"Thus, she began to push herself to the limits, spending every day either cultivating or en route to missions.
"Until one time, on a mission in the Paper Demon Realm, she fell into a trap and never came back out.
"After her disappearance, Professor Lu went mad looking for her, but her trace or remains were never found.
"And since then, he has been in that decrepit state."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuerui’s gaze became vacant, her eyes reddening slightly.
Perhaps out of sympathy for Li Ru, or maybe recalling her own arduous days and nights of cultivation.
Chu Feng saw her nearly in tears and felt a pang of heartache, gently holding her hand.
Wang Xuerui turned her head, glanced at Chu Feng, gave a small smile, and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Xu Qinghuan watched the interaction between the two, feeling an aunt-like joy almost bubbling over.
...
Chu Feng shook his head and sighed, "A single cultivation technique destroyed two people, Professor Lu really is..."
He didn’t know how to describe it and could only say, "He really isn’t a qualified mentor... It seems I no longer need to consider his invitation."
At those words, Xu Qinghuan pondered slightly, finding it difficult to speak, "If... no professors are willing to take you on, maybe... consider, choosing Professor Lu."
Chu Feng was startled, what did she mean?
Pushing me into the fire pit?
Xu Qinghuan softly explained, "You saw what happened in the meeting room just now."
"From my understanding of the professors, the likelihood of Principal Nie persuading them is very slim, there might not be any turnaround.
"I mean, since you are confident and don’t need a mentor’s guidance, capable of catching up with others by yourself.
"Then rather than leaving Yan University to gamble on the academic atmosphere and professors’ morals at another university,
"Why not choose Professor Lu, just be listed under his name.
"Merely in name, without needing him to provide cultivation resources or guidance, it should be negotiable.
"In terms of resources, with your top scholar status, you could receive a significant portion of subsidies.
"Plus, do some tasks on your own, earn credits to exchange for some, it should be enough for your use.
"I suspect that this is also the real intention behind Professor Lu’s invitation, even though he didn’t explicitly say it."
Chu Feng emphasized, "It’s not about catching up with someone, but everyone at the same level must try to keep up with me!"
His confident demeanor left Wang Xuerui and Xu Qinghuan somewhat speechless, and puzzled, wondering where his confidence came from.
Then Chu Feng scratched his head and said, "Being listed in name, that’s pretty good, but does it have to be Professor Lu, are others not okay?
"Like you, Teacher Xu... ow, ow, ow!"
A small hand unexpectedly pinched his waist’s soft flesh and then twisted it forcefully!
The intense pain made him cry out involuntarily, turning his head towards Wang Xuerui, finding her face red with anger, fiercely twisting his waist.
Her beautiful big eyes frequently darted towards Xu Qinghuan, her face full of vigilance and jealousy.
Chu Feng grimaced, realizing he might have said something wrong.
All this blame on Teacher Xu, too charming and seductive!
Leaving Wang Xuerui feeling entirely insecure in her presence.
No girl would want their close one sent to another enchanting and flirtatious woman...
Not even as a mentor!
Xu Qinghuan saw all this and couldn’t help but giggle, "It seems your little girlfriend strongly disagrees with your idea!"
After laughing, she explained, "I, along with most other professors, wouldn’t agree.
"Because the school also has assessment criteria for us mentors.
"At the end of each academic year, the school evaluates the students’ progress in strength through various means such as combat ranking competitions.
"Not just combat strength but also includes the production ability of students from the Logistics Academy, the coordination ability of the Command Academy, and so on.
"Next year, the school will allocate resources and rewards for the mentors and all students based on the assessment scores of the previous academic year, or even enforce penalties.
"If the assessment score is low, losing salary and bonus is a minor issue, but not having enough resources for mentors and students to cultivate, that’s a major problem.
"Thus, Classmate Chu, you will find it hard to find a professor willing to let you just be listed under their name."
Chu Feng rolled his eyes, ending up back at the same old issue.
The professors didn’t trust him, assuming he was bound to have the top scholar title taken away this year, hence no one wanted to take on this "trouble."
"But why is Professor Lu different? Doesn’t he need to be assessed?"
