Chapter 48 Re-entering the Wilderness
God of War! For most students, this is an extremely prestigious title.
This is the pinnacle of human power, and also the limit of individual power.
One of the two figures was Rox, whose eyes were clear blue, then turned golden in the next instant.
A surge of air instantly enveloped the entire venue, turning it into a cage.
"You think it's unfair? Fine, you didn't perform to your full potential, did you? Then fight Chu Wen."
"Anyway, only the top ten have the opportunity to go on a study tour. As long as you beat Chu Wen, you will naturally prove your strength."
Rox's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of every troublemaking student. Those who did not speak did not feel anything amiss, but only looked in horror at their classmates who were kneeling and trembling on the ground.
"You stupid fool who only bullies his own kind. If you feel it's unfair, go out into the wild and kill a few beasts to prove yourself."
"I'll count to three. If no one dares to accept the challenge, then shut your mouths!"
Under the aura of the God of War, the originally restless venue instantly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Yang Tianlong smiled and said, "Alright, the visiting scholar spots have been decided. The top ten... Chu Wen, Xu Yunzhong..."
"I won't go. I'm just here to exchange ideas with others. I have no interest in this academic exchange program."
The sounds from the arena interrupted Yang Tianlong's words.
Chu Wen patted his collar and stepped off the stage: "It's only called academic study if others are better than me. What's the point of studying if I'm better than others?"
"They came to see me, not the other way around."
Visiting other martial arts universities? It's pointless. Are you suggesting I go and steal their life essence from their storage rooms?
It's more practical to go out into the wild and kill a few more monsters; everything else is just fluff.
He now needs to accumulate more potential points and advance the Chaos Battle Technique to the level of returning to simplicity; that is the most important thing.
Chaos Battle Technique is his strongest method at present, and it will not be outdated even after he becomes a God of War. Naturally, he should seize the time instead of studying like a student playing house.
"That's really arrogant..."
"Hmph, what a pretentious guy."
The students at the new Hangzhou Wuhan University had mixed feelings, but dared not raise their voices in protest.
"Okay, the exchange program is based on the principle of voluntariness. Since Chu Wen has given up, the spot will be given to the 11th person..."
Yang Tianlong announced the matter in front of everyone, and the points competition came to a clean and decisive end.
Before leaving, Rox glanced at Chu Wen but said nothing.
Lin Wei looked at Chu Wen with dissatisfaction: "The visiting scholar quota is still somewhat useful. You know, among the nine martial arts universities, Kyoto Martial Arts University and Sanqing Martial Arts University are the 'two kings.' Their students are on a different level from those of other martial arts universities."
Lin Wei felt that Chu Wen was being too impulsive.
Chu Wen shook his head and said, "Compared to Wuhan University, I am more concerned about another place; that is my real goal."
"Perfect timing, while you're away on your academic visit, I can go out into the wild and find a sparring partner."
Lin Wei blinked, while Zhao Qian started making a fuss beside her. Chen Dai didn't understand and was just scrolling through the short videos on his personal computer.
"That's enough. A visiting scholar position? I wouldn't even consider it."
A visiting scholar exchange program at Kyoto University meant nothing to him.
……
Xu Yunzhong's defeat was like a thunderclap, instantly spreading throughout the campus of the new Hangzhou Wuhan University.
Some martial arts families quickly restarted their efforts to win over Chu Wen.
But when they saw the information about the person locked in the quantum computer, they realized it was too late.
Chu Wen, a core member of the Chaos Martial Arts Academy!
"What's going on? Didn't you say Chu Wen was just a little genius last time during the Dragon Spine Corridor?"
"And now? He's become the leader of the new Hangzhou Wuhan University!"
"Trying to win him over again would come at an even greater cost!"
"Hmph, I've heard that the Li family tried to win over Chu Wen, but they couldn't even get him with 100 billion in start-up capital."
"100 billion is enough to serve a beginner-level War King. Why wait for a genius with the potential to become a beginner-level War King?"
"Trying to win over geniuses is always a thankless task, and as for Chu Wen, he's no longer capable of serving us. What we need to do now is to befriend him and warn our disciples not to antagonize Chu Wen..."
In Kyoto, a city teeming with merchants, several well-dressed men were sitting in a teahouse.
"Chu Wen? This kid actually defeated Xu Yunzhong?"
"According to the information, Chu Wen comes from a humble background. This has really made some people lose face."
As they spoke, their gazes all converged on one man—Lin Han, Lin Wei's older brother.
They had heard rumors that Lin Wei and Chu Wen were in the same team on a mission in the wild.
Lin Han toyed with the South China Sea Buddhist beads on his right wrist and said coldly, "My Lin family is not lacking in war gods, let alone war kings."
"So what if Chu Wen is a genius? What are his chances of becoming a war god?"
He glanced at the members of the gathering and smiled, "Lin Wei will be visiting Kyoto Martial Arts University and Sanqing Martial Arts University this time. Some of you who want to pursue her should put in more effort."
"My sister is no pushover. Ordinary warriors don't even catch her eye. At the very least, they have to be warrior kings, or even have a war god standing behind them, before they might be considered."
The men present narrowed their eyes, their minds racing. They had all gathered here precisely to inquire about Lin Wei's whereabouts...
The most talented prodigy of the Lin family in this generation—which scion of a prominent family wouldn't want to be one? It's an opportunity to enter the Lin family's inner circle and soar to great heights.
Having just finished the points competition, Chu Wen relaxed a little, resting his head on the soft couch, finally able to clear his mind after a long time.
This was the first time since the Hunyuan Pearl transformed that he hadn't cultivated for an entire day.
"Chu Wen, is this? I am Su Zhenghe. I apologize for bothering you."
Outside the villa area, a middle-aged man was stopped at the entrance by the security system.
Su Zhenghe is currently the leader of the Jiangnan faction. Although he only has the strength of a mid-level general, his prestige and connections are no less than those of some war kings.
Chu Wen recognized him and naturally let him pass, quickly getting out of bed and tidying up his clothes.
"Teacher Su."
Chu Wen respectfully poured Su Zhenghe a cup of tea.
Su Zhenghe appeared somewhat reserved. He stood up from his seat and thanked him, saying, "If it weren't for you saving face for the Jiangnan Group, they would probably still have been criticized in this points competition."
Chu Wen nodded secretly and continued listening.
"Actually, the Jiangnan faction's situation in the school has always been very delicate. There are many factions in the new Hangzhou Martial Arts University, but the strongest faction is naturally the teachers from the Yatu family. They recruit talents for the Yatu family and were originally at peace with us."
"However... the establishment of the Jiangnan Society has made them anxious, especially since the Jiangnan faction may retain its structure and expand its enrollment."
Su Zhenghe told the truth, and Chu Wen instantly understood. No wonder so many people were targeting the Jiangnan faction. It turned out that the Jiangnan faction was not established temporarily, but was intended to be preserved!
If Wuhan University increases its enrollment while the total resources remain the same, other factions will naturally object! They would love to see the Jiangnan faction die before it even begins!
"Therefore, the enrollment quota for the Jiangnan Group next year is actually allocated based on the contributions of the Jiangnan Society."
"There are quite a few refugees who have moved from the Jiangnan base city to the Xinhang base city. They might apply, partly for the sake of Jiangnan Wuhan University..."
At this point, Su Zhenghe took out a chip, and Chu Wen recognized the icon on it. It was the school emblem of Jiangnan Martial Arts University, a little red figure running.
As soon as Chu Wen touched the chip, a book of martial arts details was projected into his computer.
The data on the panel has also changed.
[The "Burning Blade Technique" has been upgraded to "Burning Fire Drawing Blade," and proficiency has been updated.]
Ignite the fire and draw the sword; Great Success (6%)
The "Return to Simplicity" level of ordinary martial arts techniques can only be retained up to the "Great Perfection" level after entering the next level!?
