Chapter 95: Chapter 93 "What is a ’Top Scholar’? The Whip Behind the Buttocks
Wang Xuerui casually said, "The high-end Combat Technique Research Institute is invitation-only, usually with mentors extending invitations to particular students.
"Their only goal is to develop stronger or more practical martial techniques.
"The powerful ones are to enrich the foundation of the Human Race, while the practical ones are widely disseminated to enhance the average combat abilities of martial artists.
"The Longhua Martial Scripture and the Demon-Slaying System martial techniques that we trained in during middle school are their masterpieces.
"They target students with exceptional talent in martial skills development to be research interns;
"or those who learn new martial techniques extremely fast and can serve as test subjects, to verify the accuracy of their techniques."
She looked at the creeped-out Chu Feng with ill intent and giggled,
"Xiao Feng I remember you were pretty good at martial techniques, maybe consider being an experiment subject."
Chu Feng rolled his eyes and said, "If they play me to death, you’ll no longer have a boyfriend.
"You’ll have no shoulder to cry on in the future, how tragic.
"For your sake, I’d better not go."
Wang Xuerui hummed lightly, "Who wants you. Have you decided to go to the Combat Academy with me?"
Sister, do I even have a choice?
Chu Feng grumbled inwardly, but asserted as if it were a given, "Of course, we agreed on being inseparable, are you trying to back out?"
Wang Xuerui smiled slyly, her eyes filled with cunning, "Don’t regret it later. Catching up with me will be tough, very tough!"
Chu Feng was stunned, "Tough? Tough in what way?"
Wang Xuerui playfully shook the hands they held together and said with a cheerful smile, "Just giving you a heads-up.
"Your sister here is just too popular at Yan University, half the school are your rivals.
"If you keep taking advantage of me in public, be careful not to be surrounded and beaten up for being a lothario."
Chu Feng looked at her skeptically, Is that true or false? I don’t believe it.
But he could not say that out loud; doubting the charm of his significant other could easily cause offense to less tolerant girls.
Although Wang Xuerui was usually very straightforward, there was no need to say such things that could spoil the mood.
If he couldn’t even hold hands, it would be a tough journey.
So he lifted his nostrils and exhaled a disdainful breath, "You’re underestimating me too much. Is there anything I’m afraid of?
"Those who dare fancy you, I’ll hit one for each that comes, and hit a pair for every two!"
Wang Xuerui looked at Chu Feng, half amused and half annoyed as he showed off, knowing he was incredulous but she didn’t push further, instead continuing to chat idly.
She would let him see for himself soon enough.
The three hours passed quickly.
...
Yan Capital High-speed Rail North Station.
Chu Feng struggled to walk out of the station exit with Wang Xuerui’s support, his movements triggering pain from his injuries, causing his face to turn white.
Passersby cast glances at him, admiring his perseverance despite his disability.
At the same time, they pitied the situation; such a beautiful girl had taken a fancy to this sickly ghost and cared for him so diligently. She must be blind.
Though this sickly ghost did possess a fragile kind of handsomeness.
Chu Feng felt unnerved by the stares, "Look at the stares from these people, what’s that supposed to mean? Am I really such a mismatch for you?"
Wang Xuerui beamed brilliantly, dismissively saying, "Not at all, who would think that, you’re quite handsome—look, the person from the university who’s here to pick you up has arrived."
Chu Feng glanced at her resignedly and looked out to see a man in his thirties in a suit approaching briskly.
As he walked up, he extended his hand with a hearty smile, "You must be Classmate Chu Feng, hello, hello!
"I’m from Yan University’s Admissions Office. My name is Xu Rongwei, thank you for choosing Yan University!"
Chu Feng looked surprised at the man’s enthusiasm, thinking, is that really necessary...
Seeing Xu Rongwei reach out, Chu Feng tentatively reached out to shake his hand, "I’m Chu Feng, good to meet you, Teacher Xu."
Looking at Chu Feng’s weakened state, Xu Rongwei quickly let go and said with a smile, "Classmate Chu has been seriously injured. Get in the car first, we’ll talk on the way!"
After speaking, he turned and led the way to the front.
Wang Xuerui supported Chu Feng and, seeing the puzzlement on his face, whispered with a smile, "Don’t understand why Teacher Xu is so enthusiastic?"
"You, you have no idea about the true value of being the Longhua Martial Arts Champion.
"But that’s not surprising, since Ning River is just a minor city that hasn’t produced a true top scholar for many years.
"So no one really understands the meaning of the words ’top scholar’."
The reception was a business van, parked by the roadside.
With Wang Xuerui’s support, Chu Feng sat in the van and exhaled, saying, "Will you explain it to me?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Rongwei picked up the thread, his tone growing serious, "I will explain to Classmate Chu.
"Being the Longhua top scholar means that you will be regarded as one of the most promising seeds and hopes for the future of the Human Race.
"You will receive the best education, and for you, the restrictions between academies and even schools will basically not exist.
"You can study anything of interest and walk any path you wish.
"The university associated with the top scholar’s name will also receive additional funding and resource allocations from the region every six months.
"For the school, it’s a huge benefit, and for us in the admissions office, it means extra bonuses and resource rewards.
"So, when we learned you were willing to apply to Yan University, we and the entire university were very pleased.
"However, the status of top scholar is also a restriction on you, as well as a test!
"As the saying goes, the tree that sticks out gets the wind; standing tallest this year, you will have to bear tremendous pressure.
"As part of the duties of being a top scholar, after enrollment, unless you are in seclusion for training or on a mission, you must accept challenges from at least five peers each week.
"Any of them who can defeat you will replace you and enjoy all the privileges you have.
"And you will lose the title of top scholar—yes, the title can be taken away.
"That means you will become the enemy and target of all students of the same level throughout Quan Longhua.
"Hundreds of thousands of freshmen will take a keen interest in defeating you.
"You must always stay well ahead and keep those who covet your status underfoot in order to retain the honor of being the top scholar.
"A defeated top scholar is nothing at all.
"Furthermore, as the top scholar, although you cannot be exempted from the two annual conscriptions, Longhua will fully trust your judgment and your planning for your own future.
"You can choose the conscription missions you want to complete, without waiting for an assignment, and everyone will cooperate with you to the greatest extent on your missions.
"To give you a joke, even if you chose to clean up in a stronghold within the Demon Realms as your conscription mission, no one would object.
"But you will be responsible for your own choices.
"The moment a Martial Artist makes the greatest progress is when he overcomes great difficulties and dangers.
"If you slack off even a little and someone catches up, you will have to bear the bitter consequences alone.
"Moreover..." Xu Rongwei looked deeply at Chu Feng, "you will also become a thorn in the side of the Demons.
"The Demons’ desire to eradicate our race never ceases; they are committed to killing any of the Human Race’s talents, and you are the most conspicuous one.
"The school will try its best to keep your identity secret, but can’t guarantee that it won’t be leaked.
"Once it’s leaked, on every battlefield you step onto, you will risk greater dangers than an ordinary student, constantly facing the Demons’ open and hidden attacks. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"You must avoid dying young in this extreme environment, gradually grow stronger, and ultimately become one of the mainstays of the Human Race.
"This is your test and your tempering.
"The edge of a sword comes from grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms from the cold.
"Survive under the covetous stare of the Demons!
"A living top scholar is the real top scholar!"
Chu Feng nodded his thanks, understanding that Xu Rongwei was deliberately giving him a heads-up about the situation he was about to face.
But the more he pondered, the more he felt that the title of top scholar was like a whip dangling behind him.
Cracking and snapping, urging him to run forward and forbidding him to stop or turn back.
