Chapter 9: Both the Jade and the Stone Burn Together, Reinforcements Come to the Rescue

```

Chu Feng looked at Jia Ren's black hand and knew that there was no peaceful way out of this.

Resolute in his heart, he prepared to reverse his cultivation technique and fight to the death with Jia Ren!

Even if it meant death, he would make this scoundrel's face explode with blood!

Though the Longhua Martial Scripture promoted by the Blue Star Union governance was not of a high grade, it was incredibly mild.

It was very suitable for beginners to start with, and switching to other cultivation techniques had no barriers.

This technique also had a very dominant design—

It allowed for the reversal of the cultivation process to momentarily squeeze out all the vitality in the body, turning it into the ultimate power.

As gentle as the cultivation was, the reversal was just as wild!

The philosophy was to provide human warriors cultivating the Longhua Martial Scripture with one final strike of defiance before they died!

He laughed wildly with a hideous expression, "I told you there are no secret techniques, wait till you're dead, I'll find one and burn it for you!"

He sighed in his heart: 'What damned luck, I've only lived an extra day, and I'm about to lose my life here again!'

That's what he thought, but there wasn't the slightest hesitation in his actions.

Immediately reversing the cultivation technique, his skin gradually turned red, and his pores secreted dense droplets of blood.

A ferocious power surged out from within his body, propelling Chu Feng to stand up swiftly.

Unlike an Attribute Burst, this power was completely uncontrollable, racing toward an explosion from the moment it emerged!

Jia Ren's brows twitched, sensing trouble, and a ruthless expression appeared on his face.

If you're tired of living, then go die!

His hand changed from gripping to slapping, with a speed Chu Feng couldn't react to, thundering towards the top of his head like lightning!

Chu Feng heard the whistling sound above and guessed that Jia Ren was going for the kill.

He laughed wildly, not dodging in the slightest, instead counterattacking with a sword finger aimed toward Jia Ren's heart!

I've been a scrapper all my life, never afraid of playing hardball with death!

It looked like the clash between the two was about to erupt, uncertain who would live or die.

Just then, a voice pierced the sky, arriving in front of Chu Feng from afar in the blink of an eye:

"Punk, you injured one of our top talents, you're courting death!"

A figure, flashing like lightning, arrived with the wind and punched, sending Jia Ren flying directly!

"Pu——" Jia Ren spit out dark red blood in mid-air, tracing an arc, whereabouts unknown.

The figure immediately stood in front of the already delirious Chu Feng with a grave expression.

Removing the sword finger with a flick of his hand, the figure rapidly patted and poked Chu Feng's body.

Strangely enough, with the figure's continuous pounding, the explosive force within Chu Feng, which could detonate at any moment, actually steadied and slowly dissipated.

Chu Feng's eyes were filled with freshly seeped blood, causing his vision to be a sea of red, unable to see clearly who was in front of him.

But feeling the power in his body gradually calm down, he knew his life was saved.

'Fuck, I got saved, lucky me... I survived...'

That thought passed, and he immediately fainted, caught gently by the figure and laid on the ground.

At that moment, Wang Erbao limped over and shouted, "Uncle, how's Chu Feng... I mean, Mad Dog Chu, how is he?"

This man was none other than Wang Erbao's uncle, the head of the department, Wang Weiguo, who replied gravely:

"It's good I arrived early, the reversal of the cultivation technique had just started, and it could still be suppressed.

"I'll apply for some elixirs for him later to help him recover. He's fainted now, which is a good chance for him to rest."

After speaking, he couldn't help but laugh, "This brat has such a fiery temper, going for mutual destruction without a discount.

"That 'Mad' in his nickname is quite fitting!

"Had I been half a minute later, you would have seen a flesh and blood fireworks show!"

Wang Weiguo was familiar with Chu Feng's deceased parents and appreciated this strong young man, treating him like his own family and keeping an eye out for him.

He turned to help the distressed Xu Ziliang, showing concern, "Teacher Xu, are you alright? Take this pill and don't leave any sequelae!"

Handing Xu Ziliang a small porcelain bottle, Xu Ziliang accepted with a wry smile, thanked him, opened the bottle, and swallowed the medicine.

Then Wang Weiguo looked at Wang Erbao, nodding with a smile, "Erbao, you've grown up!

"You've really made your father and me proud today!"

Wang Erbao scratched the back of his head, "The thing I did today? How did you find out about it?"

Wang Weiguo felt gratified and chuckled, "I ran into some of the people you rescued. They told me what happened.

"If they hadn't reported it, I wouldn't have been able to get here in time.

"Your actions today were brave, you are a true man of the Wang family!"

Wang Erbao immediately puffed up his chest, "Of course, all thanks to your good teaching, uncle!"

Wang Weiguo replied with a smile, "You should thank Xiao Feng for leading you!

"Come here and look after Xiao Feng and these three fine young men.

"This bottle of medicine is ineffective for Chu Feng, so give it to the others."

After tossing another bottle of medicine to Wang Erbao, he turned and looked in the direction where Jia Ren disappeared, snorting coldly:

"I'm going to chase after that bastard just now, daring to bully the talents from my school...

```

```

"Today, I'll let him realize just how many eyes Lord Ma has!"

Wang Erbao hastily took over the medicine bottle.

At this moment, Xu Ziliang, who was in the midst of regulating his breathing, rasped out:

"Director Wang, that man is a teacher from our school, named Jia Ren, he has been on the battlefield before!"

Wang Weiguo nodded upon hearing this, patted his shoulder, then sprung up and transformed into a black shadow that disappeared from everyone's sight.

...

...

Chu Feng was walking in boundless darkness, unable to see his hands in front of him, nor hear any sound in his ears.

Just as he was starting to panic, a dim light suddenly appeared behind him.

Turning his head to look, the light slowly grew brighter and eventually engulfed him... ...

...

"Cough cough cough cough! *heavy breathing*... *heavy breathing*..."

Suddenly, Chu Feng propped up half of his body, began to cough violently, gasping for air, and opened his eyes, still with a sense of lingering fear.

The glaring sunlight forced him to squint, and he raised a hand to shield his eyes, looking around and feeling a sense of relief.

The familiar school infirmary, where students often get injured practicing martial arts and become regular visitors.

He was the only person in this small sickroom.

From outside the ajar door came waves of wailing and moaning, disturbing the tranquility of the sickroom.

Chu Feng's elbow gave way, and his body heavily collapsed back onto the sickbed.

Smelling the familiar scent of disinfectant, his face gradually broke into a smile, his lips spreading wider and wider.

He had, at last... survived!

He silently commanded in his mind: 'Open panel!'

...

'Oh? The remaining time for [Riddled with Holes] and [Severe Injury] have been reduced by quite a bit...

'Is it because I received effective treatment?'

Chu Feng pondered.

Just then, a figure in a white coat pushed the door open and walked in.

Upon seeing Chu Feng with his eyes open, she immediately exclaimed with joy, "Chu Feng, you're awake!"

Chu Feng turned to look at the beautiful school doctor Li Qingyun and smiled, "I'm awake, Teacher Li, thank you for your trouble. How long did I sleep?"

Li Qingyun walked over with a fragrant breeze and tucked in his blanket corner, "You've been asleep for a bit over a day, it's almost two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon now."

The demon invasion had taken place on Monday morning, obliterating a day despised by workers and students alike.

If no one had died, by now the students would probably be applauding with joy.

Li Qingyun looked at Chu Feng, admiration flickering in her bright eyes as she teased,

"The deeds you and Wang Erbao, along with the other five, did have already spread.

"If it weren't for you, the number of students who died would be one-third higher!

"You're now a hero throughout the school, and even external forces have heard of your exploits.

"Many people want to visit you, but they've been stopped by Director Wang."

As Li Qingyun brought up Wang Weiguo, Chu Feng became contemplative, then suddenly jolted, grabbed Li Qingyun's hand, and tried to get up.

Instantly, he felt excruciating pain all over his body as if he were being torn into ten pieces, he grimaced and said,

"Teacher Li, could you help me see Director Wang?

"I have important information to report, it's very urgent!"
