Chapter 210: Chapter 198: The Ice and Fire in the Heart, Answering the Call to War!

That night.

After seeing off Wang Weiguo and the neighbors who had come to offer their condolences, the somewhat dilapidated house fell back into silence.

Chu Feng sat alone on the couch, staring blankly at the black and white portrait on the wooden altar across from him.

In the photograph, the couple embraced each other, smiling tenderly, just as they had smiled at Chu Feng in the holographic images.

Besides this archived photograph and some clothing, they hadn’t left anything behind.

Even their ashes were mixed with those of other warriors, indistinguishable and only fit to be placed in a ceremonial mound.

Looking at their smiling faces, a small crack suddenly appeared in Chu Feng’s icy heart, igniting a tiny flame within.

The fire slowly kindled the resentment hidden beneath the icy facade, gradually evolving into a raging inferno that lit up his eyes.

A balance was achieved between ice and fire within his heart.

At this moment, he was extremely calm, yet possessed a violent impulse to kill something.

...

After keeping vigil for three days with the help of Wang Weiguo, the funeral concluded smoothly.

"You want to go to the Far East Defense Line?" Wang Weiguo looked at Chu Feng with an unprecedented seriousness as he silently took off the white hemp from his shoulder.

"Your current strength allows you to set foot on the battlefield and even complete conscription missions," he paused before continuing, "but it’s not enough to avenge them."

"I have to try, Uncle, I heard that the Demon Extermination Army hasn’t been able to find that Demon Clan until now. I want to help look for them.

"As for revenge, we’ll talk about it when we find them, I won’t force it.

"But I’m not familiar with the battlefield. Uncle, you were once a warrior in the Demon Extermination Army, can you tell me about it?"

Chu Feng asked slowly, his head slightly bowed.

Wang Weiguo seemed to see a suppressed emotion in his pupils. He hesitated, then finally sighed and said:

"...Let’s go home, and I’ll tell you some things to be aware of on the battlefield.

"If you really find traces of the Demon Clan, don’t try to handle it alone, contact the Demon Extermination Army immediately."

"...Okay."

...

[Sharpening the ax will not delay the chopping of firewood—make thorough preparations before heading to the battlefield and don’t rush into it...]

Recalling the precautions Wang Weiguo had mentioned, the next day, Chu Feng took a car back to Yan University.

After asking Lu Lin for another extended leave, he contacted Wang Xuerui.

She was still in seclusion with her mentor, her delicate face troubled from losing a lot of hair.

"Xiao Feng, you... you’re okay, aren’t you?" She carefully examined Chu Feng’s expression.

"I’m fine, don’t worry, it’s been tough, but I’m much better now."

Chu Feng chatted with her for a bit, reassured her, then hung up the call and walked toward the building belonging to the Combat Technique Research Institute.

Last time Zhang Hongfei did say that joining the institute came with benefits.

After a while, he walked out of the research institute building with a faint smile and tucked a small booklet into his coat pocket.

’It really proves to be the Combat Technique Research Institute, so generous to provide something that could be a trump card for free!’

Chu Feng thought to himself, feeling that he could really delve into the tasks provided by the institute after coming back.

After all, there were many items on that list that even he coveted.

...

As Chu Feng approached the administrative hall’s task window to pick up a mission, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, sensing two gazes resting on him.

Suddenly, an enthusiastic voice rang out, "Yo, long time no see, junior! Are you going on a mission? Let’s go together!"

Chu Feng turned his head and saw it was the familiar duo Li Ying and Dai Sheng he knew from the Iron Chain Demon Domain, whom he’d become acquainted with through a fight.

Li Ying was already stretching an arm out, nonchalantly trying to sling it around Chu Feng’s shoulders, which Chu Feng deftly dodged.

Li Ying didn’t mind, instead looking at Chu Feng eagerly, "We’re old acquaintances who know each other well, how about we head back to the Iron Chain Demon Domain and do something big together? What do you say?"

Dai Sheng also greeted him with a laugh, similarly expressing his hope to join forces with Chu Feng, willing to follow his lead and support him.

Last time, Chu Feng’s masterful application of the Invisibility Secret Technique had really caught their eyes, and based on their experience, they immediately thought of many exciting uses for it.

Unfortunately, Chu Feng was unwilling to share the Secret Technique of Invisibility with them, and they didn’t have the right bargaining chips to trade.

Later, they witnessed Chu Feng "slaughtering" the field during a live combat training and the spectacle where he publicly demonstrated his Composite Technique.

At that moment, both regretted it so much that it felt like their guts were turning green.

Any fool could see this kid’s potential, he was destined to be a Martial Arts Great Grandmaster!

How had they not thought to stick close to Chu Feng and let him slip away so easily!

That day, Chu Feng had acquired a pass from Lian Shi Ping, the base commander of the Demon Extermination Army in the Iron Chain Demon Domain, which allowed him to leave the Demon Realm early.

Meanwhile, the two were conscripted by the Demon Extermination Army to guard against the invasion from the Iron Chain Demon Clan, staying there for half a month more until just before the school term started when they were finally allowed to leave, without seeing Chu Feng again.

Later, exhausted in body and mind, they returned to the campus only to be utterly shocked to hear that Chu Feng had been awarded the rank of Honorary Captain.

On the very first day of school, they were even more astonished to learn that the trending topic of "Composite Technique" throughout the school had actually been pioneered by this junior!

Dai Sheng knew clearly that in the Iron Chain Demon Domain, Chu Feng had used the Phoenix True Force developed from the Eight Yang Nirvana Sutra by President Nie Yan.

If he had already developed the Composite Technique by that time and used the Phoenix True Force merely as a disguise, then calling him freakish was an understatement.

If he had not yet developed the Composite Technique and was still using the original Phoenix True Force... that was even more monstrous!

Just half a month, and based on the Eight Yang Nirvana Sutra combined with other Attributes, he had created a new school of thought?

That claim would probably sound like complete nonsense to anyone who heard it!

On more than one occasion, they regretted not having the foresight to have seized the opportunity to deepen their connection with Chu Feng.

But seeing him today, they finally caught their chance!

They definitely needed to keep up with him!

What they did wasn’t important, being tied to him was what truly mattered!

...

Chu Feng looked at them and said with a smile, "Hello senior fellows, what are you doing here?"

Li Ying and Dai Sheng chuckled, not mentioning that they had spent nearly 25 million on daily cultivation resources, which they had almost used up, planning to earn some money.

What if Chu Feng had other plans and didn’t intend to make money? What would they do if he didn’t want to take them along after hearing their plans?

In the end, they listened rather disappointedly to Chu Feng’s regretful reply, "I’m sorry, senior fellows, I have things to do this time and I’m afraid I can’t join you."

Dai Sheng was very disappointed, but since Chu Feng didn’t reveal his goal and only expressed rejection, he had to accept it.

Li Ying rubbed his head, unwilling to let go after waiting so long without successfully clinging to a powerful thigh, and couldn’t help but ask, "So, junior, what is it you’re planning to do?"

Chu Feng did not answer but pulled out his student card, smiled at the staff in the window, and said, "Hello, I’d like to take on a war conscription task."

"Ah?"

"Damn, are you out of your mind! Who actively signs up for conscription!"

Li Ying’s face was a picture of disbelief.

The biannual dreaded conscriptions where a bunch of people died every time, everyone would rather avoid it like the plague!

This kid is actually charging headfirst into it? Has he grown tired of living!
