Chapter 327: Chapter 315: Unity of Thought! Shocking News and Secrets! The Human Race Needs Him! It Begins!
On the other side, inside the principal’s office at Yan University.
Ge Yunsong sat in his leather chair and smiled at the crowd on the sofa, "I anticipate that the enemy will counterattack soon," he said. "Minister Cui and everyone, please be on high alert and defend rigorously."
The man with a steady countenance was Minister Cui from the Publicity Department of Yan University, he spoke solemnly:
"Principal Ge, we need to be wary of the desperate Noble Clans resorting to dirty tricks, such as inciting the public and spreading rumors or even going as far as assassinating Chu Feng.
"If Chu Feng dies, we would have lost half the battle."
The other half would be the promotion of the Composite Technique, which would also face subsequent strikes.
Ge Yunsong leaned back and laughed, "No need to worry about Chu Feng’s safety; martial artists below the Grotto Heaven Realm can’t harm him.
"As for those above Yin and Yang... even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to make a move in the capital!"
Hearing his confident words, everyone was slightly shocked.
It seemed that what the news release said was true; Chu Feng’s strength was indeed comparable to Grotto Heaven!
Ge Yunsong continued, "Minister Cui’s concerns are also valid, so please everyone, go back and think about any possible measures to counteract them."
Minister Cui and his subordinates showed a somewhat helpless expression; it’s not that they weren’t trying, but it was genuinely a challenging issue.
The departments and media outlets they usually deal with were genuine and standard; they really had no good way to counteract street level rumors.
Seeing their troubled faces, Ge Yunsong thought for a moment and smiled slightly, "Everyone, don’t forget, our alliance still holds a very useful card—the top echelons of the Evil Cult.
"When necessary, we can completely turn the tables on them.
"So don’t fear making a big fuss, just go ahead boldly!"
The colors of the faces of several people beside Minister Cui changed slightly, while Minister Cui himself was startled and immediately stood up, saying, "Understood, principal, we’ll get to work then."
"Hmm, bring out the regulations as soon as possible."
...
A short distance from leaving the principal’s office, one of Minister Cui’s subordinates couldn’t resist chattering:
"Principal Ge is being foolish, is he trying to start a literary inquisition? By slandering the people of the Noble Clans as heretics, big trouble could ensue!"
"Exactly, that’s a scorched earth tactic; once it’s used, Principal Ge will be the first to suffer, followed by us!"
"Minister Cui, what should we do now? Please tell us."
"..."
Minister Cui listened to them finish speaking, then smiled steadily, "See, you’re all hasty!
"If you can’t calm down, how can you do a good job in publicity?"
"..."
The subordinates exchanged glances, all wearing faces of resignation; Minister Cui was still his unhurried self.
However, he was a wise man and would reject unreasonable tasks; taking this task probably had its reasons, so everyone carefully listened to his words.
While walking forward, Minister Cui smiled and said, "You all got scared by the terms ’Noble Clans’, ’Evil Cult’, and ’turning over the tables’.
"Let me ask you, what levels of crime does inciting the public entail?"
One of his subordinates immediately responded, "It’s a serious crime, with a maximum individual sentence of fifty years, and capital punishment for groups!"
Minister Cui nodded, "The risks are high, so would the people from the Noble Clans personally try to influence public opinion?"
Instantly, one of his subordinates caught on to his meaning and laughed, "Of course not, there’s plenty of underworld figures to do the dirty work, and we just need to focus on those people.
"By catching these rats, the Noble Clans will quiet down for a while."
Minister Cui, satisfied, smiled, "That’s exactly what Principal Ge means; the Evil Cult high echelons card is just to back us up, so we can go ahead without fear of failure.
"If it really escalates, by thoroughly investigating everyone who stirred the public and detaining them for a few months, the issue will be resolved.
"At the same time, by saying this, he’s also expressing his determination—to do everything possible to keep Chu Feng safe."
Minister Cui glanced outside the window and sighed:
"I just don’t understand...
"Chu Feng... just a student, is he worth all this effort?"
...
"Chu Feng... just a student, is he worth going to such lengths?" Nie Yan asked, looking into Ge Yunsong’s eyes, hesitating for a long time before speaking.
Ge Yunsong smiled, "Principal Nie, it seems you’ve asked me this question for the second time already."
"Yes, you didn’t directly answer me last time."
Ge Yunsong stood up, stayed silent for a long while, knowing that not revealing some substantial truths might permanently plant a thorn in his old partner’s heart.
The challenges ahead were severe, he needed unified thoughts, to build a firm rear guard.
Suddenly he changed his address, "Old Nie, how many years have we been partners?"
Nie Yan understood the hint, thought for a moment, and answered, "Twelve years."
He showed a smile on his face, "Brother Ge’s achievements are obvious to all; under your leadership, Yan University has been thriving, growing stronger day by day, producing more and more outstanding students."
He then restrained his smile, speaking softly, "The Ge I know, who could lead Yan University to this day, surely isn’t someone who would use public resources for personal reasons.
"Moreover, our stance this time truly lacks justification. Both the perpetrator and the victim are our students."
Ge Yunsong gave a desolate smile, stood up and looked out the window, sighing, "You’re right, I... I don’t actually have such rich emotions, nor do I care about right or wrong,"
"What I care about... has always been... the survival of the Human Race."
He turned around, his amiable face becoming as firm and cold as iron.
"I don’t care about Lin Hao’s death. He’s not the first heir; there are plenty more where he came from within the Noble Clans."
Listening to his ruthless words, Nie Yan silently nodded, relieved inside.
Ge Yunsong hadn’t changed; he was still that seemingly gentle but intensely ruthless, profit-seeking old man.
"As for Chu Feng’s life or death, I also don’t care.
"Just a talented commoner, after all, there are tens of millions in Longhua! What kind of talent can’t we find?"
"Composite Technique is very important, but without it, our Human Race can still resist the Demons.
"We will not allow them to step out of the frontline, they won’t be able to take a single step!"
He concealed his indifferent expression and sighed lightly, "However, we need a Martial God, a Martial God who can suppress an entire domain."
Nie Yan immediately extracted a lot of shocking information from this statement, and suddenly looked up at Ge Yunsong, "Are you saying... "
Ge Yunsong nodded his head, his tone growing heavier, soul-stirring, "Yes, the situation is as precarious as a pile of eggs, and Chu Feng is already our last hope.
"The realms of Demons and Monsters are rapidly approaching our world, this is the conclusion drawn by the Longhua Central Research Institute.
"The multiple disturbances at the frontlines, changes in the demon realms all over the world, all corroborate this judgment.
"In ten years at most, three to five years at least, the Monster Realm and the Demon Realm will break through the space-time barriers, fully adjoining our world!
"By then, we are not only facing a full-scale onslaught from the two races of demons and monsters but also the Monster Emperor and Demon Emperor, along with the advent of hundreds of their False Gods!
"And the Human Race, we lack a mighty person who can rival the Monster and Demon Emperors!
"Without top-level combat power, the Human Race will face imminent catastrophe!!"
Nie Yan abruptly stood up, shocked by this message.
However, Ge Yunsong slowed his pace of speech, saying, "And Chu Feng, in all my years of cultivation, is the only human I have seen who has a chance to break the shackles and ascend to Martial God.
"There is no second one!
"Ever since I came into close contact with him on the Demon Battlefield, I have sensed the secrets he hides.
"Just touching on an insignificant tip of the iceberg has left me profoundly shocked.
"I even suspect he is a legendary Martial Artist from the ancient era, reincarnated in this era, becoming an ordinary civilian.
"You know, the academic world has always suspected that Longhua had a true Martial God era in ancient times, establishing a brilliant and great Martial Arts civilization.
"Only, for unknown reasons, it collapsed and disappeared into the vast mists of time, leaving not even a credible word or phrase.
"Some fragments of armor excavated now somewhat prove this hypothesis.
"And I’ve been thinking over and over again, Chu Feng might just be the last legacy of the ancient Martial God era.
"Otherwise, why could he display talents from myths and legends? ’Law of Heaven and Earth’!
"Modern humans, where do they possess any innate talents!"
Nie Yan immediately asked, "We can take control of this secret ourselves!"
"If the situation were not so dire, perhaps I would observe a bit longer, to explore whether his secrets could be transferred, even made public.
"But we... have no time left."
Ge Yunsong patted the window frame and sighed with a bitter smile, "Time, oh time... Time is the cruelest enemy.
"Chu Feng took just two months to leap from Martial Apprentice to an Everlasting Realm Warrior.
"At this pace, given another three or four years, he probably has a high chance of making a push for the Martial God Realm.
"At the very least, he could achieve Dharma Phase, possessing battle power to fight above his level and contend with the Monster and Demon Emperors.
"This is the most prudent path in my estimations.
"I have thought about killing the golden goose, but who can guarantee that this secret can be inherited by us?
"If this secret completely dissipates with the death of Chu Feng, and it causes us to lose our last hope of turning the tide...
"We would be the sinners of the Human Race!"
"..."
These thunderous words left the room plunged into a heavy silence.
After a while, Nie Yan asked, "Do no other Dharma Phase powers have any hope of breaking through to Martial God?"
Ge Yunsong shook his head, "The road ahead is blocked, no one can cross that insurmountable gap, the Speaker himself told me so."
Nie Yan sighed and said, "Then, can we directly ask Chu Feng..."
Before he finished, he shook his head, dismissing the idea. freeweɓnøvel.com
Ge Yunsong gave a slight smile, "I had Lu Lin make some oblique inquiries, but got no response.
"That boy, Chu Feng, has a fierce and decisive nature. If he senses us probing, it might create a rift between us, more loss than gain.
"For safety’s sake, let’s not provoke him. Let him grow on his own.
"What we need to do is to safeguard him, allow him to inherit a part of our legacy.
"Use emotional and material bonds to tie him down, so he does not become alienated from the Human Race.
"After all, with his abilities, along with some things he has kept hidden, I suspect that even if he were stranded in the Demon Realm, he could live safely and even better than anyone else.
"The Human Race needs him, not the other way around."
Nie Yan breathed deeply and said, "I understand, Brother Ge. I will do everything in my power to help us through this crisis."
"It’s tough, let’s encourage each other, old partner."
"..."
...
When Nie Yan left the office, a trace of confusion also flickered across the aged face of Ge Yunsong.
He did not know if his decision was the right one, but time was running out, he had to make a choice.
He chose to invest in Chu Feng.
Originally, the survival of the Human Race should not rely on him, but as cold as he was, he could not trust anyone beyond his own power control.
To avoid the risk of Chu Feng being killed on the streets one day, this secret, he allowed to circulate only within his grasp!
’Even if it’s a mistake, I will see it through to the end!’ he thought with a smile, looking at the bright sunshine and lush shadows outside the window.
Just then, the information terminal on the table gave out a gentle vibration.
He looked at it, his pupils instantly narrowing.
"...It has begun!"
