Chapter 248: Chapter 236: Not Strong Enough Teeth! Inquiry, Recruitment of the Demon Extermination Army (2/3)

Lu Lin, looking at his beaming face, couldn’t help but say, "Don’t forget what I told you, the number of acupoints opened and the quality of nurturing the acupoints are fundamental, and they directly determine the total strength within a martial artist’s body.

"For example, both of us are in the Everlasting Realm, possessing Human Rank Upper-level secret techniques, with a 55% increase in power.

"I have opened all the major acupoints and cultivated them to the Sunflame level, possessing the strength of one hundred thousand tons in Vitality, Energy, and Spirit. When I use 55% of that, it equals fifty-five thousand tons.

"Whereas you have opened fewer acupoints and only cultivated them to the Starlight level, having only ten thousand tons of strength. When you use 55% of that, it’s only five thousand five hundred tons. How can you compare with me?

"So the number and quality of acupoints are the factors that determine the ceiling of combat power. Opening acupoints is like excavating the hidden martial arts wealth within the human body.

"No matter how good the secret techniques are, they’re useless if the realm isn’t enough. You must remember, don’t pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon."

Lu Lin said this as a reminder, not wanting Chu Feng to choose the wrong path.

"Understood, Instructor. But what are the Sunflame Realm and Starlight Realm?" Chu Feng asked.

"The quality of nurturing the acupoints is divided into Starlight, Moonlight, Sunflame, and Polar Realm. I’ll go into detail about this with you later when we go back."

"Oh, okay. Heaven Rank secret techniques, eh? Just thinking about it sounds incredible. Do you have one, Instructor?"

Chu Feng was excited just picturing himself using "Law of Heaven and Earth," transforming into a giant and then dealing damage that doubles the strength within his body. Imagining the scenes of shattering stars and slaying false gods made his eyes shine brightly.

To shatter any enemy with a single punch—that is true invincibility!

Regrettably, the words that followed from Lu Lin were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

With a resigned smile, Lu Lin said, "Secret techniques are even rarer than legacy martial techniques. Even with my position, it’s difficult to obtain a good one.

"The development of secret techniques involves the use of acupoints, which is a step-by-step process, painstakingly explored over time.

"The research difficulty is immense, and a single mistake can cause severe injuries or even result in exploding acupoints leading to death.

"The existing secret techniques are treasured secrets passed down for many years by major powers and families.

"In the research process, they don’t know how many generations’ blood, sweat, and tears went into it, how many test subjects died, and what the cost was to finally shape these treasures. They won’t be easily shared with outsiders.

"Unless you’re willing to join them and make significant contributions.

"The family of your instructor here once had its own Upper Earth Grade secret technique, but sadly it was lost after the family fell from grace, otherwise, I could pass it on to you.

"What I use now is an Earth-Ranking Lower-Grade Secret Technique, which I exchanged for points using my professor status at the university.

"As a student, you can only exchange for Human Rank secret techniques, unless you graduate and stay to work at the school, reaching a professor’s rank before you talk about it."

Human Rank secret techniques?

Chu Feng scratched his head, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

It’s only 40% at most, not even reaching 70%.

Completely not strong enough for his tastes!

Seeing Chu Feng scratching his head, Lu Lin couldn’t help but laugh and say, "What, you look down on Human Rank secret techniques?"

"Look down on them? They’re not satisfying enough," Chu Feng said honestly.

"..."

Damn!

This is supposed to be a killer move for turning the tide! It’s not an everyday fitness martial arts technique, so why the heck does he need it to be satisfying?

Lu Lin was about to scold him when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he started to laugh: "There’s a good opportunity right now; you might be able to nab a decent secret technique!"

"?" Chu Feng looked at Lu Lin, who was smiling like a mouse who had just stolen some sesame oil, and couldn’t shake the feeling that he was about to trick someone.

...

Shortly after, Chu Feng and Lu Lin, along with a guard, headed to the conference room to meet representatives from the Longhua Government, Demon Slayer and Exorcist Forces, and the Academy Alliance.

On the way, Lu Lin paid no attention to the guards ahead, meticulously instructing Chu Feng:

"This time, the incident you’ve caused is a big one, especially that invisibility technique and the method to transform into a giant have caught everyone’s attention.

"However, with the support of the school and the Academy Alliance behind us, there’s no need to worry about someone trying to forcefully take your things.

"Just make it clear that these techniques cannot be shared, and no one will dare to pressure you."

"Understood, teacher."

Chu Feng felt a warm sensation in his heart, and he once again marveled at the confidence that came with having powerful backing.

Lu Lin nodded slightly: "Speaking of achievements, this time both the Demon Slayer and Exorcist Forces have gained considerable military merits.

"The Demon Extermination Army eliminated a Demon Clan camp effortlessly and obtained a large number of Demon bodies and captives, even capturing the Horned Serpent Demon Queen and the Diamond Ant Queen. These counts as military merits are enough to promote someone to the rank of Major.

"The Demon Annihilation Army over there has been meritorious in rooting out traitors, uncovering a spider web hidden for twenty years through your intelligence, and capturing a Vice Sect Hierarch of an Evil Cult, with more Human Race traitors expected to be revealed from him.

"Both forces owe you a great favor, so when the time comes, ask boldly for what you want. Students from Yan University like us don’t settle for trash; we only take the best!"

The guard leading the way twitched his face slightly.

In front of the soldiers from our own Demon Slayer Forces, discussing how to exploit their superior - how appropriate is that?

Chu Feng exclaimed with surprise, "Those two Demon leaders were also captured? That contribution is indeed significant, don’t worry teacher, I will make sure to take a big bite!"

The guard rolled his eyes stealthily, truly like teacher, like student, there wasn’t one who didn’t belong to the same house.

Lu Lin said cheerfully, "That’s the spirit."

As they spoke, they arrived outside the conference room.

The guard stood by the door and snapped to attention: "Captain Chu, Professor Lu, please come in!"

"Thank you."

Chu Feng followed Lu Lin inside.

As the two entered, the noisy conference room immediately quieted down, and everyone turned to look at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt as if these people’s gazes were scorching, making him involuntarily clench tight.

Sitting in the main seat of the conference room was Major Lin Zhong of the Demon Slayer Army, who had met before. He pointed across the table at Chu Feng with a smile, "Honorary Captain Chu Feng of the Demon Extermination Army, please take a seat!"

Xu Tianci beside him let out a faint snort from his nose, while Ge Yunsong on the other side was all smiles, nodding at Chu Feng.

Sitting at the head of Ge Yunsong was a somewhat dignified middle-aged man, who was sizing up Chu Feng without a word.

Chu Feng nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Lin Zhong looked at Chu Feng, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

The son of a martyr, with an honored lineage, led the Demon Extermination Army stationed in the Iron Chain Demon Domain to repel the Demon attack and was awarded the rank of Captain at the highest standard.

This time, he ventured deep behind enemy lines, detecting signs of demons conspiring, and successfully brought back the intelligence.

Going into enemy territory a second time, he poisoned their ranks, aiding the Demon Elimination Army in wiping out a large Demon Camp, capturing two Cave Heaven Realm Demon leaders!

This brilliantly exceptional young man is a fortune-bringer for the Demon Slayer Army; it’s clear he was born to join the Demon Extermination Army!

As for the fact that he also helped the Demon Annihilation Army? That was just a small favor done in passing, hardly worth mentioning.

That bunch of fools couldn’t even detect the mines laid down for twenty years, needing our Captain to show them the light—a group of freeloaders, truly a waste of the annual funding!

With this in mind, Lin Zhong didn’t beat around the bush and directly and sincerely smiled: "Captain Chu Feng, I formally invite you to join the Demon Slayer Army, to become one of us!

"If you are willing to join, I will represent the Demon Slayer Army in applying to the government for an exceptional grant of the rank of Major to you..."

Chu Feng was startled, and then he heard an angry shout erupt: "Hold on a minute!"
