Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Emergency Intelligence, Demon Realm Training Troops
Li Qingyun was startled and pressed him down onto the bed, "Your injury is too severe, you can't move now!"
"Don't worry, I'll go and speak to Director Wang. He instructed that once you awaken, I should contact him immediately."
Chu Feng nodded and calmed down, watching Li Qingyun's graceful figure push open the small door and quickly leave.
It wasn't long before Li Qingyun returned with Wang Weiguo, helping the grimacing Chu Feng sit up.
Seeing Chu Feng's rosy complexion, Wang Weiguo laughed and said,
"Teacher Li's medical skills are indeed formidable; this youngster was as pale as death yesterday.
"Thanks to your treatment, he looks alive today!"
Li Qingyun smiled and said, "I can't take much credit for it. It's the Minor Rejuvenation Pill the school provided that worked wonders.
"Plus, Classmate Chu has a strong foundation and great recovery capability.
"It's no wonder he's the pride of our Number One High School, his constitution is not inferior to some Foundation Establishment teachers!
"You two chat, I'm going to check on other patients."
Having said that, she gave a light nod to the two of them and turned to leave.
Chu Feng and Wang Weiguo watched her enchanting figure without blinking.
Only when her silhouette disappeared around the corner did they finally turn to see the familiar bashful look in each other's eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Cough cough, Xiao Feng, what did you want to see me about?"
Wang Weiguo coughed twice with a fist to his mouth, masking his embarrassment.
Chu Feng joked with a smile, "Uncle Er, are you thinking of finding another aunt for Erbao?"
Wang Weiguo laughed and cursed, "Don't tease me, lad. Xue Rui would disown me if she found out!"
After that, he turned serious and asked, "Teacher Li mentioned you have important information?"
Chu Feng nodded and said seriously, "The creatures that invaded yesterday weren't from the Demon Clan, they're called Bloodskin Wraith Demons.
"They are bona fide members of the Demon Clan!"
Wang Weiguo didn't react as Chu Feng had expected by jumping up and shouting "Impossible."
Instead, he was silent for a long time, a nameless expression flickering in his eyes.
Chu Feng asked puzzledly, "Uncle Wang Er, do you already know about this?"
Wang Weiguo came back to his senses, shook his head, and instead of answering, asked, "How do you know they are from the Demon Clan?
"Do you have any proof?"
What proof could there be? He couldn't just sketch out the Attribute Panel and tell Wang Weiguo, "I have a cheat in my brain," could he?
Chu Feng had thought up a reason long ago:
"My parents... they had told me in private before, saying that the Bloodskin Monster Clan is actually part of the Demon Clan and it involves some secrets.
"But they couldn't produce any evidence, so they told me not to spread the word.
"If it weren't for their invasion of the campus, I wouldn't have even remembered this."
Wang Weiguo nodded and said, "Your information gives us a new lead.
"In fact, we also have some similar conjectures..."
...
In the compulsory high school textbook 'Record of Demon Beasts,' the Bloodskin Wraith Demon is known as "Bloodskin Monster."
Decades ago, a Blood Tree Demon Realm descended in the outskirts of Ninghe City.
"Bloodskin Monsters" inhabited it, maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the "Blood Tree Demons" in the realm.
"Bloodskin Monsters" were responsible for abducting humans to feed the "Blood Tree Demons," which in turn, secreted a special tree sap for the "Bloodskin Monsters" to consume.
After consumption, this sap could enhance their physical strength and even give them a chance to ascend to the next level.
Thanks to symbiosis, "Bloodskin Monsters" became a rare and powerful subdivision of the Demon Clan with a wide range of strength.
Spanning Spirit Rank, Soldier Level, and Envoy Level.
Which corresponded to the human realms of Martial Apprentice, Foundation Establishment, and Innate.
A long time ago, the Blood Tree Demon Realm was already besieged by the Demon Exorcism Corps with heavy fortifications, implementing a strategy of containment and eradication.
Civilians were also allowed to join the ranks, participating in the hunt.
The strategy was necessary because their numbers were vast and powerful, and higher-ranking powerful demons were entrenched within the realm.
Human experts were wary, hence the two sides remained stalemated.
According to the 'Record of Demon Beasts,' these "Bloodskin Monsters" were incapable of breaching the Corps' blockade.
Not to mention slipping past various forces' watchful eyes, with a strong purposeful intent, they plunged into the heart of the Number One High School!
But if they were deep-hidden members of the Demon Clan... well, that would make sense.
As is common knowledge, the Demon Clan excels in 'Essence,' and the Human Race in 'Qi.'
The Demon Clan is generally robust, adept at pure physical attacks, and favors brute force over skill.
Humans, on the other hand, rely on the Qi and blood transformation that occurs after the Martial Foundation to form True Force.
Its nature is enduring and resilient, capable of nourishing the physique and prolonging life, with the possibility of achieving longevity when cultivated to profound levels!
The downside is a slight lack in offensive power, which necessitates the use of Martial Techniques to compensate.
And the Demon Clan, they excel in 'Spirit'! Their mental attributes are bizarre and unpredictable!
The evaluation of spiritual attributes extends into three dimensions.
First is the innate strength of one's spiritual power, second is the growth rate of spiritual power, and third is the precision of spiritual power control.
Innate strength determines the starting point, growth rate determines potential for development, and precision determines depth of development.
Perhaps due to physiological differences, the innate spiritual power of the Human Race and Demon Clan is generally weak.
The growth rate of spiritual power is generally slow, and their methods of use are somewhat rigid.
For most of the Demon Clan, spiritual power is a pure controller, used to precisely control their powerful bodies.
For ordinary human martial artists, spiritual power can be used for introspection and is also needed to assist in breaking through realms.
But that's about it.
However, the Demon Clan, relying on their innately strong spirits, faster growth rates, and delicate spiritual manipulations.
Not only have they developed many fearsome mental skills, causing great trouble for the Human Race and Demon Clan.
They also ingeniously use spiritual power to leverage the mysterious rules, obtaining a unique and magical power system: Magic!
Wang Weiguo didn't understand magic much, but many universities have conducted in-depth research into magic.
They also teach students with spiritual power talents to study magic.
In some chaotic areas on Blue Star, there have even emerged some so-called magic sects.
They forcibly develop spiritual power using banned drugs to meet the conditions for learning magic.
He knew that magic was extremely functional, with the best among them being able to confuse the mind, summon natural elements, and attach enhancement states.
And even dabble slightly into the mysterious realm of space!
If the "Bloodskin Monster" is indeed a Bloodskin Ghost Demon, then they could naturally have Demon Clan mages provide cover for their actions.
...
From Wang Weiguo's account, Chu Feng learned that the leader of yesterday's group of Bloodskin Ghost Demons was an Envoy Level Wraith Demon!
Wang Weiguo, together with another Innate Warrior, had a tough fight before they captured it.
They originally wanted to interrogate how they escaped from the impregnable encirclement outside the Blood Tree Demon Realm.
However, after being captured, the Wraith Demon just sneered cryptically and said in the Demon Race Language:
"Humans, wait for death. Until death, you will never understand what greatness you are resisting... "
Before Wang Weiguo and the other warrior could react, the Wraith Demon died on the spot, its lifeforce completely drained in a short time.
Soon after, Principal Luo Yong arrived, mentioning that there were signs of someone having rummaged through his office.
But the thief wasn't caught, nor did he mention anything being stolen.
Wang Weiguo thoughtfully said, "The demon invasion incident was shrouded in mist from the start, elusive and confusing.
"What was the purpose? How did they break through the blockade? We know nothing.
"But if they are all from the Demon Clan, many things make sense.
"The Demon Clan can certainly use magic to bypass the Demon Exorcism Corps' blockade and redirect our attention towards the Demon Clan through their actions.
"The goal may be to cover up the theft and subsequent possible conspiracies!
"Besides, if they are from the Demon Clan, it means they have been hiding their identities since appearing on Blue Star.
"Even when rounded up by the Demon Exorcism Corps, they did not reveal themselves...
"Hiss... the Demon Clan's schemes are grand indeed!"
The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became, and he immediately stood up and said urgently:
"Chu Feng, rest up. I'm going to report this to Principal Luo right away!"
In a sudden, he slapped his forehead and said to Chu Feng:
"In the demon invasion, aside from you and Erbao, a few others, and some classmates who performed fairly well, everyone else's performance was poor.
"Faced with the demons, many lost their will to fight, and a number of malicious incidents against classmates broke out!
"After Principal Luo reported to the Academy Alliance, they were outraged.
"They decided to launch a campaign against the Blood Tree Demon Realm after the major exams and select students to participate.
"To temper their will to fight and let the students see blood.
"So that they don't forget, it's unity and bravery that enable humans to resist the demons!
"Be prepared, you and Erbao might be chosen to lead a team into the Demon Realm for training!"
Chu Feng was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly called out to Wang Weiguo, asking:
"What if the Blood Tree Demon Realm is actually the Demon Domain?
"Are they still sending me... no, everyone in?"
Wang Weiguo smiled bitterly, "When the Alliance's top brass communicated this plan to us, no one thought they might be from the Demon Clan.
"Conducting Martial Arts trials within the Junior Demon Realms is also a common method of warrior training in the Alliance, it's just been used less in recent years.
"The poor performance of the students this time has led some in the Alliance's top brass to harshly criticize:
"If they don't see blood soon, the blood of the Human Race will grow cold, and the descendants of warriors will become sheep!
"I'm going to ask Principal Luo to feed this intelligence back to the Alliance.
"But without evidence, it's hard to convince the top brass and persuade them to cancel the plan.
"Either way, be mentally prepared!"
