Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 96 - 94: The Early Years’ Unlucky "Top Scholars" Become a Spectacle

Chapter 96: Chapter 94: The Early Years’ Unlucky "Top Scholars" Become a Spectacle

Chu Feng had cheats and was confident that he wouldn’t be easily overtaken by competitors for the top scholar title.

However, he couldn’t let his guard down, as those trailing close behind him were the top freaks of the Longhua District, and one slip could see his position usurped.

"After healing from my injuries, I should take on hunting missions as soon as possible to acquire cultivation resources and Attribute Points... I can’t stop moving, or I won’t be able to keep up with the others!" Chu Feng pondered in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he then asked, "There’s a Longhua top scholar every year, how are the previous top scholars doing?"

Xu Rongwei touched his nose and said, "I’m from the Logistics Academy of Yan University, and I’ve been working here since graduation, for eight years now.

"Not counting Classmate Chu, four have chosen to join Yan University in the last eight years.

"Among them, two disappeared within the Demon Realms, one suffered Severe Injuries, cutting off his martial path..."

The more Chu Feng heard, the worse he felt, and he quickly asked, "And the last one?"

Xu Rongwei said awkwardly, "The last one had his top scholar title taken away and, together with the one who usurped his title, they both perished in the Demon Domain..."

Chu Feng was speechless, thinking this was not so much an honor as a curse!

Not a single top scholar had met a good end!

Seeing the change in his expression, Xu Rongwei hurriedly added, "But it’s not like there haven’t been successful examples!

"It’s said that the current Speaker of the Longhua Government was the martial arts champion more than thirty years ago.

"He broke through countless hardships and eventually grew to be one of the top powerhouses of the Human Race.

"In fact, most of the Longhua top scholars actually have the potential to become pillars of the Human Race..."

Chu Feng lazily nodded, yes, there’s potential, but whether it can be realized depends on fate!

Seeing his lack of enthusiasm, everyone in the car fell silent, plunging into quietness.

Wang Xuerui quietly held Chu Feng’s hand, comforting him with her gaze.

Xu Rongwei accidentally saw their interlocked hands and immediately gave Chu Feng an odd look, as if seeing a deity.

He naturally recognized Wang Xuerui, the popular "Ice Spirit Snow Maiden" of Yan University.

He also knew that after Chu Feng was severely injured, it was Wang Xuerui’s father, Wang Weiguo, who had contacted Yan University.

He just hadn’t expected that the two youngsters would have this kind of close relationship.

He couldn’t help but admire Chu Feng’s boldness.

The guy was obviously not content with the challenge at hand and was wildly upping the intensity for himself!

Not only did he outcompete those of his own year, but he also managed to provoke a whole bunch of upper-year students?!

He was on a path to becoming the enemy of the entire university.

"I hope this Classmate Chu can withstand it..." Xu Rongwei shook his head inwardly.

...

After leaving the crowded high-speed train station, the car got onto an elevated road and sped along.

Half an hour later, it exited the expressway and drove into a university town.

This university town was established around Yan University to improve the efficiency of resource utilization, and Yan Capital simply relocated all its martial arts schools here.

The university town had everything necessary for daily life, including clothing, food, housing, and transport, and had already evolved into a satellite city of Yan Capital.

Driving through the spacious streets, the minivan arrived at an imposing gate made of marble, with four gilded characters hanging above: Yan Capital University.

Seeing Chu Feng’s focused gaze, Xu Rongwei smiled and said, "We’re almost there.

According to school regulations, students must walk through the main gate; they are not allowed to be driven in.

However, considering Classmate Chu’s physical condition, school leaders have made an exception to let us take you both directly inside."

Chu Feng thanked him with a smile.

Wang Xuerui chuckled softly, "Thanks to you, this is the first time I get to enjoy the treatment reserved for professors."

Chu Feng hummed softly, "Whoever wants this ’honor’ can have it..."

The minivan stopped in front of an office building, where Xu Rongwei hopped out first and, with a smile, opened the door for Chu Feng:

"Please come in, two students. The professors are waiting for both of you in the first-floor conference room."

Chu Feng struggled to get out of the car and shook hands with Xu Rongwei, expressing his gratitude, "I’ve troubled Teacher Xu, thank you for your hospitality."

Xu Rongwei was very satisfied with Chu Feng’s attitude. Given his accomplishments and strength, the fact that he remained neither arrogant nor impatient, maintaining a humble and polite demeanor, was truly rare.

Do you not see, many high school students suppress their youthful arrogance in their hearts to protect their Qi and blood.

Because fights during high school could damage one’s Qi and blood, and thereby hinder the speed of cultivation.

Everyone was very careful, afraid of affecting their performance in the Grand Exam, each acting humbly and politely, always stepping back when encountering issues.

But once the Martial Arts Grand Exam was over, many would change completely.

Acting like they owned the sky and everyone else was second to them!

Wherever they went, they almost wished to look at people with their nostrils, and it was common for fights to break out at the slightest disagreement.

Once that repressed hostility was unleashed, it was truly hard on the eyes.

Yet Chu Feng, who theoretically had every right to show off and be arrogant as the top scholar, was quite the opposite, always carrying himself like a courteous gentleman, earning him goodwill.

Combined with his faintly pale and handsome face, he exuded an impression of being as gentle as jade, which was truly unusual.

Chu Feng didn’t know what he was thinking, simply letting Wang Xuerui support him as they headed towards the teaching building.

...

Yan University hadn’t started the new term yet, but many students had already returned to campus early to use the martial arts facilities for cultivation.

Thus, the campus was quite lively, with students bustling about in groups.

To graduate successfully from Yan University, one must reach the Everlasting Realm and cultivate the Martial Techniques taught by their mentors to the required level, hence the atmosphere was tense and the pressure high.

If one failed to meet the standard, graduation would be delayed by a year, necessitating two additional wartime conscription duties.

That was no joke—it could be deadly.

So for Yan University students, holidays were the most meaningless things. Better to bury themselves in hard cultivation, graduate early, and gain freedom sooner.

Whether entering society or joining the military, the choice would eventually be theirs to make.

For outstanding students who aspired to more than just graduating, the various cultivation facilities at Yan University were something they couldn’t part with.

Whether it was the gravity rooms, high-energy density cultivation rooms, or spiritual power stimulation pods, they were all exceedingly expensive.

These facilities were hard to come by elsewhere, even with money, and were considered a privilege exclusive to students of Yan University.

Without these facilities, one’s cultivation speed would drop considerably if practicing elsewhere.

As the van stopped at the entrance of the office building, it drew a few curious glances, but most people didn’t care.

Those professors with privileges liked to flaunt their special status in front of them.

Then they would tell all students that the powerful own and enjoy privileges. Want them? Then become powerful yourself!

Frankly, this method of motivating freshers was touching at first, but gradually it became tiresome.

But when Wang Xuerui got out of the car and revealed her lovely face, a surprised exclamation made most people look up:

"Isn’t that the ’Ice Spirit Snow Maiden’ Wang Xuerui? Why is she arriving by car? Sss—big news! Who’s the guy she’s helping?!"

Someone asked, confused, "Who is Wang Xuerui, and what’s this ’Ice Spirit Snow Maiden’?"

Some who loved to gossip laughed and replied, "She’s fourth on the junior year combat strength list, fifth on the contribution list, a very famous girl.

"There are nine guys in the top ten, and she’s the only girl, so delicate and pretty, it’s no wonder those old monks howl at the moon.

"The top ten on the combat strength list all have nicknames.

"Some saw that she’s cold and indifferent to everyone, so they started calling her the ’Ice Spirit Snow Maiden.’

"Wow, it’s the first time I’ve seen her smile so brightly. What’s her relationship with the guy next to her?"

A horse-faced girl watched coldly as Wang Xuerui and Chu Feng walked towards the office building. Her eyes shifted cunningly before she weaved into the crowd.

Last time in the combat rankings competition, Wang Xuerui had outperformed her, which didn’t sit well with her.

She needed to find a way to trip up the so-called "Ice Spirit Snow Maiden" and stir up some trouble.

Perhaps it could affect her state of mind, and next time in the rankings competition, she might outperform her.
