Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 92 - 90 Demons Invade, The History of Yan Capital University
Chapter 92: Chapter 90 Demons Invade, The History of Yan Capital University
On the high-speed train platform, Chu Feng leaned on Wang Xuerui’s soft shoulders, his face pale.
His injuries were so severe that walking was difficult for him.
Fortunately, modern technology was advanced, and it would take less than three hours by high-speed train to reach Yan Capital, comfortably and without any hassle.
The platform was bustling with people, and many men, seeing his feeble form leaning on a beautiful woman, couldn’t help but curse in their hearts, commenting that it was like flowers stuck in cow dung.
And the dried sort at that.
Wang Weiguo earnestly advised Chu Feng, "Hold on to your ticket. I’ve booked business class seats for you. Get some good rest on the train.
"Don’t wander off when you arrive, Yan Capital University will send someone to pick you up."
He then said to Wang Xuerui, "Are your injuries okay now? Take good care of Xiao Feng, and don’t let him overexert himself!"
Wang Xuerui nodded obediently, while Chu Feng forced himself to perk up, grinning through clenched teeth, "Don’t worry, Uncle Er, I’ll take good care of Ms. Xuerui!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Weiguo’s eyebrows twitched, and he felt a sudden unease.
Something about that didn’t sound quite right!
He had an ominous feeling, as though he had made a mistake—should he not have let the two of them be together alone?
Had he unwittingly let the wolf into his house!
Yet, interpreting their relationship as a deep brother-sister bond wasn’t wrong either...
With that thought, the emotionally aloof Wang Weiguo felt overwhelmed and began to curse, "Stop talking nonsense, just get going! Focus on healing!"
"Got it!" The two waved goodbye, and so Wang Weiguo and his nephew Erbao watched as the matched pair entered the train carriage.
...
Chu Feng plonked himself down in the seat and, after reclining the back, let out a comfortable sigh.
He asked Wang Xuerui, who was sitting beside him, "Tell me about Yan Capital University. I’ve been so busy with the big exam and the trials, I haven’t had much time to look at the material."
Wang Xuerui nodded, "What do you want to know?"
Chu Feng looked up and thought for a moment, "Start with why Yan University is ranked first in Longhua, and even globally."
Wang Xuerui rolled her eyes, "You need to be told these basics? Why did you even apply to Yan University then?"
Chu Feng smiled, staring intently at her lovely face, which made her cheeks flush red. Threateningly, she waved her small, white fists and said:
"Enough, I know what you’re going to say about ’promises’ and ’bonds’ and all that. Alright, I’ll enlighten you, you little rookie!"
She cleared her throat, pushing down her embarrassment, and began to explain:
"The precursor to Yan Capital University was formed from several top-tier universities in Longhua State, led by two renowned schools before the Demons descended.
"After the Demons came, the northern minor nations with their sparse populations quickly fell, and the Demon Domains on the great plains uncheckedly expanded, eventually forming one continuous area!
"At the beginning of the invasion, the Demons and the other creatures were not as distinctly separate and at odds with each other as they are now.
"They joined forces and launched attacks both against the northern Behemoths and southern Longhua.
"The plan was to exterminate the Human Race of Longhua as swiftly as possible!"
Wang Xuerui’s expression became grave as she spoke of those difficult times:
"The weakness of the northern nations caused them to underestimate the Human Race’s will to resist, fighting on both northern and southern fronts simultaneously."
"At that time, Longhua was in the midst of warlord chaos, and the situation was utterly disordered.
"You don’t need any more history than that; it’s all in your textbooks.
"But the Demons’ hostility towards all of humanity and their formidable combat power forced the powers within Longhua to unite.
"They also took advantage of the global turmoil to swiftly eradicate other domestic forces.
"The fact that firearms were ineffective within the Domains led many to despair!
"Believing that the Human Race had no way to resist the Demons, they could only close their eyes and await death.
"Fortunately, Martial Arts rose up. Faced with the Demons, the pioneers of Martial Arts were not afraid but stood up to the challenge."
"Reliant on their flesh and blood bodies, they fought blood battles and gradually unearthed the potential of Martial Arts amidst the cruel fighting.
"After over a decade of relentless war, many Martial Artists fell on the battlefield, yet more passionate patriots relentlessly followed, sacrificing their lives for their country.
"Eventually, under the leadership of a newly emerged Saint, all the Demons that had invaded Longhua were exterminated.
"Pushing back the borders of the Domain to the north!
"Since that time, the two races of Demons, frustrated by their defeat, could no longer unite, and began to fight fiercely against each other.
"By then, Yan Capital had already become a battlefield, turning into a heap of ruins.
"After driving out the enemy, the Saint chose Yan Capital, the very place that had faced the brunt of the enemy’s sharpness, as the capital of Longhua.
"And he called for a worldwide alliance to jointly resist the invasion of Demons from another world!
"Yan Capital University was then rebuilt with the heavy responsibility of nurturing Martial Arts talents for Longhua.
"It absorbed the teaching resources from all surrounding higher learning institutions and became the first Martial Arts Academy in Longhua to deeply study Martial Arts and cultivate Martial Artists on a large scale.
"Facing directly the Demon Battlefield in the north, they nurtured through warfare, using Martial Arts to repel the enemy!"
Chu Feng’s heart became solemn, filled with deep respect for that tragic but heroic era.
At the same time, he gained a profound understanding of the historical mission of Yan Capital University: to repel the enemy with Martial Arts, to defend Longhua!
At this point, Wang XueRui picked up a disposable cup, took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and softly said,
"You also know what happened later; the Saint, due to years of fighting at the front, suffered too much physical toll and passed away prematurely.
"Otherwise, under his leadership, those Demon fiends would have been completely obliterated long ago!
"Humans are still waging a fierce battle against the Demons, often at a disadvantage, constantly facing the threat of Demon invasions.
"The northern battlefield has become a cancerous tumor, attached to Longhua and the now-fragmented northern behemoths, causing the Human Race to continuously bleed out.
"And our mission is one day in the future, to completely excise this tumor!
"You now understand the meaning of being a Martial Artist—we are not a privileged class but reserve warriors.
"Being admitted to Yan Capital University, receiving the world’s top Martial Arts resources for cultivation, also means facing the greatest danger.
"One might die in battle at any time, wrapped in horsehide, or even vanish without a trace."
Chu Feng nodded, took hold of Wang XueRui’s hand, and whispered, "I understand.
"Having chosen this path, I have prepared myself mentally.
"Times of chaos, though fraught with hardship, also present Martial Artists with great opportunities to make their mark.
"To defend Longhua, to eradicate Demons, to avenge the warriors who have sacrificed themselves over the past century, to repay blood debt with blood!
"This is the ultimate pursuit of Longhua Martial Artists."
Wang XueRui’s face showed a hint of sadness—if it weren’t for this damned era, who would want to fight bloody battles or watch their friends and family do the same?
If the world were at peace, people wouldn’t have to face the constant emergence of Demons and could choose the lifestyle they liked.
Girls could wear beautiful clothes, primp before mirrors, and adorn themselves.
Boys could sleep like logs, waking up late to do what they enjoy.
Women could choose to support their husbands and teach their children or opt for a career.
Men could shoulder the burden of providing for their families or choose to do nothing and have the right to reject choices.
If the world were at peace, who the hell wouldn’t choose that?
But those Demons, they don’t agree!
They revel in slaughtering the Human Race, especially preying on the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled—
In the most tragic time of war, refugees must be wary of attracting Demons’ attention even when seeking essential supplies for survival, lest they be mercilessly butchered!
Martial Artists possess mighty Martial strength.
But almost every Martial Artist despises this era of war and turmoil.
