National Guardian's Gone and We're Done-Chapter 92: They’ll Soon Know If It’s Real or Fake
Chu He did not strike a fatal blow.
He still had a use for the goat-headed Evil Spirit, so he first needed to weaken it.
Chu He had carefully controlled the force of the God-Beating Whip. It would inflict severe injuries on the goat-headed Evil Spirit, but it wouldn’t kill it.
Furthermore, the God-Beating Whip attacked a target’s soul, making it remarkably effective against both humans and Evil Spirits.
After being struck by the God-Beating Whip, the goat-headed Evil Spirit didn’t even have time to scream,
before it collapsed listlessly to the ground, its eyes devoid of light.
The humans with goat-like faces also fell to the ground, one after another. They had all been under the goat-headed Evil Spirit’s control.
With the goat-headed Evil Spirit’s soul severely wounded, its control over these humans naturally weakened. Their fates were intertwined.
"Keep your New World Organization running as usual, but keep your hands out of the Great Xia Empire.
Also, have Xiao Cangqing continue his opposition and attacks against the Great Jing Empire, which is under the Lighthouse Empire’s protection. You can provide him with some assistance."
Chu He lifted the listless goat-headed Evil Spirit with one hand and vanished from the underground structure.
...
Under the goat-headed Evil Spirit’s arrangements,
Chu He and the creature took a private plane, landing smoothly at the Royal City Airport in the Great Xia Empire.
During the trip back, Chu He received a call from Liu Yuzhu.
"Mr. Chu, I finally got through to you!" Liu Yuzhu’s urgent voice came through the phone.
"Is Xia Chengli causing trouble again?" Chu He asked.
While dealing with the New World Organization, Chu He had already arranged for Xia Chengli to take a position at the National Road Academy.
At the National Road Academy, Chu He had Liu Yuzhu put together an elite class.
The students of this class
were the thirty most talented and powerful students in the entire National Road Academy.
The strongest among them had already reached the Sixth Grade, while the weakest was at the Peak of Grade Four.
From then on, the entire National Road Academy would focus its teaching staff and other resources on cultivating this group.
Chu He had a premonition that the Lighthouse Empire’s plan to use its influence to encourage the fusion of humans and Evil Spirits—
a plan to achieve rapid, short-term power boosts—would greatly accelerate the revival of high-level Evil Spirits.
In the near future, the most terrifying, violent, and cruel aspects of the Evil Spirits might be fully unleashed upon Blue Star.
That was why Chu He felt the situation was too urgent to ignore and had decided to cultivate this elite class.
No matter the method, it was imperative to rapidly strengthen the Martial Artists of the Great Xia Empire
to better deal with the terrifying scenario Chu He envisioned.
"Xia Chengli has actually been quite well-behaved. He’s just been teaching Martial Arts to the elite class under the guise of Ye Gucheng.
But that’s not what I called about.
The Lighthouse Empire announced that it’s hosting a global collegiate Martial Arts competition.
And the location? It’s in the Windmill Empire, the one that was destroyed by the Black Pearl.
The Windmill Empire’s territory is now crawling with all sorts of Evil Spirits. There are no living people there anymore.
The people of the Great Xia Empire are all fired up about it and are desperate for us to participate in the competition.
Mr. Chu, you’re the dean of the National Road Academy. Whether they go or not is your call."
Liu Yuzhu said.
"When is this global collegiate Martial Arts competition?" Chu He asked.
"Three months from now," Liu Yuzhu answered, her face etched with worry. "I just think,
with the current strength of the National Road Academy’s elite students, it’s far too dangerous to send them to a place like the Windmill Empire, which is teeming with Evil Spirits, just for a competition. The risks might not be worth the reward.
However, the debate is getting heated domestically, and many citizens are hoping the National Road Academy *won’t* go.
Part of the reason is the focus on you. A lot of people want to see whether you, as the dean, can actually bring any real change to the academy."
"In these three months, can we get a top-tier medical team for the National Road Academy?" Chu He asked.
"That’s absolutely no problem. Her Majesty the Queen has already given the word: the development of the National Road Academy is the top priority.
Whatever resources you need, Mr. Chu, you can requisition them directly without her approval."
Liu Yuzhu replied instantly.
"Good. Lock down the entire National Road Academy immediately. No students are allowed in or out.
Have every student sign a life-or-death waiver.
Tell them there’s an extremely ferocious Evil Spirit inside the National Road Academy, one that’s at least comparable to an Emperor Realm Martial Artist.
As students of the National Road Academy, they have a duty and responsibility to protect the Great Xia Empire. Therefore, they must defend the academy with their lives,
They have to hold the line and must not, under any circumstances, let the Evil Spirit escape the academy grounds.
If anyone is unwilling to sign the waiver, process their withdrawal immediately. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
I’ll be at the National Road Academy in ten minutes. Have the medical team and Xia Chengli on standby.
I expect the waiver situation to be sorted out by the time I arrive in ten minutes," Chu He said.
’He wasn’t just doing this for the Great Xia Empire, but also for himself and his family. After all, he couldn’t possibly handle every single matter himself in the future.’
’That’s why he had to cultivate a group of trustworthy and powerful Martial Artists within the Great Xia Empire.’
The position of dean of the National Road Academy gave Chu He the convenience he needed to implement the plan forming in his mind.
Without time to ask any more questions, Liu Yuzhu hurried off to make the arrangements.
When Chu He arrived, Xia Chengli, Liu Yuzhu, a top-tier medical team of over thirty people,
along with a full eight ambulances and their related equipment, were all standing by.
These were top-of-the-line ambulances,
capable of being converted into small, fully equipped emergency rooms at a moment’s notice.
"In total, over one hundred thirty students chose to withdraw.
Some of the smarter ones who stayed suspect it’s a test.
Others, however, have shown truly dauntless spirit.
But panic is starting to spread among the student body. I’ve had a lot of calls from teachers and staff asking if this is real or not."
Liu Yuzhu walked over and reported the latest developments to Chu He.
"True or false, they’re about to find out."
Chu He glanced at the goat-headed Evil Spirit as it got out of the car. "You know what I want you to do."
"I understand. No students will die.
But injuries will be unavoidable."
The goat-headed Evil Spirit bowed to Chu He and strode toward the National Road Academy.
As the large double doors swung shut behind it,
an icy, frost-like mist rapidly enveloped the academy, and screams tore through the air.
