Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 296 - 284: The Speculator Who Speaks Out for Himself, Controlling the Core Deterrence! Simplify, Challenge Him?

Chapter 296: Chapter 284: The Speculator Who Speaks Out for Himself, Controlling the Core Deterrence! Simplify, Challenge Him?

The feeling of having someone watching over him felt great!

Chu Feng’s heart was warm.

After all, such a subversive event had arisen because he had been attacked.

Now, not only did Ge Yunsong and Yan University not blame him for taking matters into his own hands, but they were also willing to shield him from the thunder and dew falling from the sky...

This was already a grace he could be grateful for his entire life.

Beyond his parents and family, it was rare for others to go to such lengths!

Of course, even if there were other calculations involved, it didn’t matter.

As the flagbearer and target of the whole affair, the obvious benefits would certainly fall upon him.

However, he couldn’t help but ask, "Will things really go so smoothly? I have no doubt about Principal Ge’s personal charm."

"But those students from other universities, would they really risk offending people and stand up for Principal Ge?"

Lu Lin couldn’t help but laugh, "You are thinking wrongly, they will definitely cooperate!"

Chu Feng’s eyes widened with confusion.

Lu Lin smiled, "Let me ask you, does the Academy Alliance fighting for civilian benefits, benefit them?

"Among the students from the various academies, civilians are the majority!"

Chu Feng suddenly realized, "It benefits them!"

"Of course," Lu Lin laughed, "Human society is driven by interests. Interests are the most durable covenant. Emotional ties and everything else come after interests.

"If this thing had no benefit for the students from the academies, even if the Academy Alliance appealed, those who responded would not exceed one-tenth.

"But if it involves their own interests, if it benefits them, many wouldn’t mind standing out from the crowd and making their voices heard.

"It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work out, as there’s the Alliance in front, the sky won’t fall.

"But what if it does work out?"

Chu Feng smiled, "A bunch of opportunists."

"Right, opportunists, everyone’s an opportunist."

Lu Lin, reclining with one leg over the other, said with a smirk, "The centrists, those fence-sitters are the majority.

"The Alliance already has staunch supporters, as long as we win over the centrists, we can definitely make this happen. Moreover..."

Lu Lin’s face broke into a sly grin, "Many people enjoyed various preferential policies from the Alliance during their student days, like interest-free loans and other benefits.

"Most people haven’t yet repaid those loans, and the Alliance has never pressed them.

"This has led many to take it for granted, thinking it was an investment from the Alliance in just another name.

"Among these people, many now hold high positions and care a lot about their reputations.

"If it comes down to it and no one is willing to step forward, there’s a way out too.

"Pressure them to repay the loans, then have the Alliance issue a statement, cutting off all ties with these people!"

Chu Feng imagined the scenario and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Isn’t that equivalent to expelling them from the sect? To make it so big?"

"If we don’t brand them as betrayers of their mentor and ancestors, where would the deterrent power come from?

"But no need to worry, this method is just a last resort, to be used only in a desperate situation.

"Otherwise, offending everyone wouldn’t be good for the Alliance either."

Chu Feng nodded, sighing, "So the Alliance is going to war with the Martial Noble Families?"

Lu Lin responded indifferently, "The fighting, it’s not up to us, the civilian and the Noble Families have already clashed in the government’s council.

"Our entrance into the fray is just adding fuel to the fire.

"Moreover, the chairman of the Alliance still doesn’t know how much determination he will show, how many benefits he wants to secure.

"It might just be a feint, nibbling a small benefit, punishing the instigators, making everyone reevaluate the significance of the Alliance.

"Then, returning to being that harmless neutral force, silently observing how things unfold."

Chu Feng quietly nodded, sinking into thought.

...

Watching Chu Feng lost in thought, Lu Lin felt somewhat pleased with himself.

Principal Ge said, "The fellows from the Demon Extermination Army want to compete with the Alliance for Chu Feng’s allegiance, warning me to be cautious of having the corner dug out from under me."

Especially that Deputy Commander named Lin Zhong, who, in an effort to gain Chu Feng’s favor, personally escorted him. That’s just shameless!

We must be on guard against him!

If Chu Feng had already spent a few years at Yan University and was about to graduate normally, then he could go wherever he wanted without anyone interfering.

Staying to teach at the school is naturally good, and going to the army is fine too.

But this kid Chu Feng has just enrolled; he hasn’t yet developed a deep connection or bond with Yan University or the Academy Alliance!

He barely enjoyed any benefits from Yan University and didn’t owe them anything, yet he shot up to the Everlasting Realm as if he had taken a magical elixir.

The mandatory conditions for graduation have already been met!

Now, the only thing he lacks is some practical knowledge, but these things can be learned not only at Yan University but also in other places; Yan University is not exclusive.

Once Chu Feng leaves at this point, his relationship with Yan University would pretty much be cut off.

This cannot happen!

The Academy Alliance absolutely cannot let such an outstanding student be taken away by the Demon Extermination Army!

At the very least, they want him to root himself in Yan University, to consider himself as one of Yan University’s own, then the Alliance would be willing to let him go.

Now, to make clear the Alliance’s effort in this matter, breaking it down thoroughly for Chu Feng, he would naturally understand the Alliance’s kindness and remember their favor in his heart.

Then, his mission this time would be completed perfectly!

Right now, Chu Feng, the kid, must already be overwhelmed with emotion, right?

Sure enough, I just heard Chu Feng reflect, "In the end, Principal Ge, Yan University, and the Academy Alliance doing something as drastic as this coup, it’s all because of me.

"I feel quite overwhelmed by the favor!"

Lu Lin felt broad comfort, seeing a student that could be taught!

Then I heard Chu Feng ask, "Speaking of which, mentor, your face has gotten chubbier by two or three layers, and your eyelids are so swollen they’ve become single eyelids... Are you okay?"

"..."

Lu Lin rolled his eyes, "It’s all because of you, this scourge of a disciple!"

Chu Feng chuckled somewhat sheepishly.

Lu Lin spoke irritably, "Do you know how much I’ve worried about you? Now I’ve almost turned into a switchboard operator, with the whole Longhua’s universities coming to me to make connections.

"Even news of the Composite Technique has spread outside Longhua, and universities from other places also want to learn from your techniques; I’ve been so busy my heels are nearly hitting the back of my head!"

Chu Feng scratched his head and said, "Mentor, you’ve worked hard! How far has the technique progressed? Has it started to be popularized yet?"

Lu Lin’s expression brightened, and a smile appeared on his face, "It’s a success already, and it’s about to start being promoted. From now on, your name will echo throughout the country!"

Chu Feng was astonished, "That was fast! You’ve managed to figure out all those combinations of techniques by yourself? Truly, you are crafty, mentor!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Lin shook his head and said, "It’s different from what you think. We simplified your technique in order to successfully promote it."

"Simplified?"

"Yes, we tried your Composite Technique that integrates the Seven Attributes, including myself, no one was able to convert to it!"

Lu Lin’s face showed a bitter smile, but his gaze toward Chu Feng was like looking at a rare treasure, "Combining the Seven Attributes, every step of training is like walking on a tightrope.

"Your natural talent is too astonishing; you can solve the problem instinctively, but we can’t!

"We are far from reaching your level; we can’t even get started."

"So how did you simplify it?"

Lu Lin smiled and said, "Since it was too complex to train, I proposed an idea:

"What if we don’t merge the seven cultivation techniques, don’t strive for perfection, but rather choose between two to six types of techniques according to the Five Elements Generation principle, compiling a simplified Composite Technique?

"Moreover, we could develop templates for dual, triple, up to six Attributes techniques, allowing cultivators to combine them according to the templates!

"This way, they can pick two or more attributes geared towards their highest potential and target their training efficiency!"

Chu Feng thought about it for a moment, then looked at Lu Lin in awe, "Mentor, could it be that you are really a genius?"

"What nonsense, of course I’m a genius if you’re my student!" Lu Lin grumpily slapped Chu Feng’s thigh, causing him almost to twitch on the spot.

"Mentor, you’re brilliant, please get your hand off..."

Chu Feng’s face showed a bitter smile, but he thought to himself, "It looks like the secrets of ’Physical Transformation’ and ’Spiritual Power Conversion’ won’t be discovered by anyone any time soon."
