With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal Chapter 249 - 233: Situation, Report, Fierce Competition! (3

Nightti, at Luo Guanyun’s ho.

Master was still busy at the martial arts school, ng Chuan was practicing punches in the Martial Arts Chamber while waiting.

The tortoiseshell was placed in a hidden compartnt in the corner of the wall.

ng Chuan was a bit curious but didn’t dare to touch it.

Its control over the Heart Spirit was too strong; if it bewitched him, he’d be dood...

Regaining his focus, ng Chuan stopped thinking about these things and continued punching.

Until eleven o’clock at night, Master Luo still hadn’t returned.

After contacting him, ng Chuan left the "Shiva’s Elephant Wash" and left.

"Madam, when Master Luo returns, ask him to look at the cultivation technique on the Martial Arts Chamber’s table."

Ren Ping escorted ng Chuan to the door, smiling and agreeing.

"Tomorrow you’ll start school; if you need anything at the United University, let know and I’ll send it over."

ng Chuan nodded with a smile, then went ho to sleep.

At one in the morning, Luo Guanyun returned ho and, following his wife’s guidance, saw the secret technique.

After browsing for just a few minutes, Luo Guanyun knew this technique might be of great use to him.

"Chuan really is my lucky star..."

...

Early the next morning, it was another sunny day.

Master Luo initially intended to send him flying, but ng Yongzhi had already taken leave from work, so ng Chuan rode to Lishan Mountain with his uncle.

After saying goodbye to his master, Luo Guanyun wasn’t too reluctant.

Since flying to the United University was only a matter of minutes...

ng Chuan sat in the back seat with his aunt, and along the way, Xue Na repeatedly advised ng Chuan.

"School isn’t like ho; once you’re there, try not to get into conflicts with others. Peace is precious."

"Yes, Auntie, I understand."

ng Chuan knew his aunt still had a common person’s mindset.

On the martial arts path, it’s impossible not to compete, but he understood so that his family wouldn’t worry.

Yong’an City experienced so traffic jams early in the morning, after hearing his uncle and aunt’s chatter, ng Chuan leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to relax.

At that mont, the car’s TV was broadcasting the news.

ng Chuan listened and sighed at the current hardships of the world.

Since July, there have been awakenings of the Demon Nest Masters in various places across Great Chu.

On the northwest side of Xiangxi, a level three Demon Nest showed disturbances in late July, with the Demon Nest Master inside being a thousand-year-old Corpse King.

Fortunately, as soon as it erged, it was blocked by the nearby Celestial Master Mansion Venerable who heard the news. The battle lasted a day and a night, and ultimately, the Corpse King was slain. Its Demon Nest was far from urban areas, resulting in no casualties.

In coastal regions, a powerful Celestial Demon awakened from a Demon Nest, but the Celestial Saint Zhao Linyuan guarded the coast. As soon as the Celestial Demon King erged, before slling fresh air, it was casually dealt with by Zhao the Great Saint.

At the beginning of August, the Western Sichuan Basin also experienced a level three Demon Nest riot. The Demon Nest Master inside concealed its strength, suddenly erupted, killing the Ei Martial Arts Grandmaster responsible for suppression at that ti. It then boldly stepped out of the Demon Nest, causing several bloodbaths in Western Sichuan.

Although, in the end, it was slain by the furious Ei Martial Arts University Principal with a thunderous force, the casualties exceeded ten thousand, displacing hundreds of thousands of residents, and causing imasurable damage to Great Chu.

This is why people say we are living in the worst of tis.

Ordinary people are like solitary boats on the ocean, uncertain of when they might be plucked away like weeds.

In recent months, such a high frequency of Demon Nest riots is unprecedented, leading all major universities in Great Chu to mobilize to suppress Demon Nests and protect the nation.

In seeking the cause, Great Chu still doesn’t know which Demon Path villains have mastered new techniques to awaken Celestial Demons.

Or whether these Demon Nest Masters received certain commands from those in "ultimate darkness" unable to awaken.

ng Chuan, watching the news, recalled the statue he accidentally obtained previously.

"Whispers of the Mountains"...

It is an exceptionally ancient Demon Nest within Great Chu’s borders.

The true form of the Demon Nest Master inside is still unseen, thanks to the Demon Sound’s overwhelming power, which even a Great Saint cannot withstand.

Yet its impact on Great Chu manifests in every aspect.

Such conceptual Celestial Demons, even when asleep, can still inflict significant negative effects on the external world.

At the end of the dostic news, ng Chuan listened to the last segnt spoken by the host.

And realized Yong’an City’s peaceful days since the death of the Jiao Demon might not last much longer.

"The Great Chu Military Departnt and Martial Arts Association issue a joint announcent today. Due to the severe situation with the Demon Nest and Celestial Demon Realm, from September onwards, all cities in Great Chu will enter level three combat readiness status. Entry to the city requires identity verification, and all entertainnt activities will be suspended after 10 PM."

Level three combat readiness is the lightest; while the situation is tense, it’s not as severe as Yong’an City under the Jiao Demon’s threat before.

Back then, Yong’an City activated level one combat readiness status.

The threat a Demon Nest poses to an individual city can be reported to the city secretary by the Defense Army.

With progressive approval by the provincial governor and local defense, a city can independently initiate combat readiness status.

Regaining his focus, ng Chuan felt that his future university life might not be peaceful...

As a distinguished student at the Martial Arts University, enjoying nurous resources and benefits, facing both Celestial Demons and the Demon Path is naturally his duty to be at the forefront.

"Hurry to advance to Martial Arts Family..."

Excluding ng Chuan, who has special abilities as a Martial Artist.

Ordinary Martial Artists are still too weak; without special ans, they can’t even break through the Celestial Demon’s external Force Field.

Only by becoming a Martial Arts Family can one contend and fight against Celestial Demons...

...

In the car, after hearing the news reports, ng Yongzhi’s mood wasn’t great either.

As an intelligence control officer of the police station, he was well aware of the recent security situation in Yong’an City.

The world was difficult, affecting the ordinary people’s emotions as well.

He simply didn’t tell his family about these things, as speaking about it would just add to their burdens.

"Chuan’er, once you get to school, focus on practicing martial arts, and maintain your usual high spirits."

"Understood, Uncle. If anything happens at ho, let know tily, and I’ll handle it."

"Alright, Uncle knows."

ng Yongzhi sighed, noticing that ng Chuan had already beco the pillar of the family.

But what others didn’t know was that outside the borders of Great Chu, other countries were having an even tougher ti.

In the so-called twin-titans United States, the southern region experienced a Level 4 Demon Nest outbreak last month.

The Demon Nest Master [Nightmare Shackle] awakened, causing the tragic death of hundreds of thousands of people abruptly.

In front of such a level of Celestial Demon, even Martial Artists were as fragile as ants, easily crushed.

It wreaked havoc for three days before being eradicated by a tardy dostic Seven Limit Supre Warrior.

The situation in Japan is even less optimistic.

Since the large-scale death incident at Qingshui Ming Temple last year, the Japanese governnt finally set its sights on the Parasite Association.

Unfortunately, its hiding was so deep that even today, it hasn’t been entirely uprooted, capturing only a handful of minor figures.

And this year, the Parasite Association caused more trouble.

In the Daigo Mountain region, the prehistoric monstrous Jiutun Tongzi was suspected to be awakened by it.

To prevent the expansion of the influence, Japan imdiately requested assistance from the United States, but was asked for imnse martial arts resources in return.

Helplessly, its diplomats turned to Great Chu for negotiations, seeking to discuss counterasures.

In the face of the Celestial Demon, historical national and personal grievances all had to be set aside.

Even so, Great Chu’s asking price was even harsher than that of the United States...

...

Seeing the familiar entrance of the preparatory high school flash before his eyes, ng Chuan felt a bit reluctant.

But it’s still fine, apart from Zong Ping continuing to settle down for another year, most of his friends from the preparatory school had also co to United University.

Moreover, his constant ntor, Lu Zhuxiao, ntioned a few days ago that there was a surprise waiting for him when school started.

ng Chuan felt that he might have been transferred to the university departnt as a teacher...

An hour later.

Halfway up Lishan Mountain, ng Chuan waved goodbye to his uncle and aunt.

The remaining stretch of mountain road was difficult for cars, and with his foot strength, he might be faster than a car, so he took his suitcase and entered the mountain alone.

After a mont, ng Chuan saw a bright white rising from his vision as he reached the entrance of United University.

Its plaza had a marble statue of Principal Sui, and having seen the real person, ng Chuan glanced at it before planning to enter.

ng Jiaolong was waiting for him at the school gate, and the two first went to check in and register their information, receiving their United University access cards.

Their cards were different from those of other students checking in, with a fiery red card surface embedded with fla-like golden patterns.

The other students were envious to death because these were the access cards for Grandmaster Class students.

ng Jiaolong, as a "student," held the card and introduced:

"This is equivalent to our student card, besides basic access privileges, it also differs significantly from those for regular class students.

I’ll first take you to the dormitory to drop off your luggage, and I’ll explain it to you slowly later."

"Okay."

ng Chuan nodded in agreent; having a local guide was quite nice.

He’d tried calling Xu Qingfeng several tis on the way, but no one answered.

Knowing Xu Qingfeng’s usual habits, ng Chuan figured the guy wasn’t awake yet...

...

Northern United University was built amid mountain surroundings.

Along the way, ng Chuan admired the beautiful campus scenery while listening to ng Jiaolong’s overview of United University.

"The standards for special Martial Arts Universities differ from ordinary ones; due to the nurous free resources enjoyed, there are corresponding exams every two years. If you don’t et the standards, there’s no retake; you graduate on the spot.

Conversely, if you can consistently et the school’s evaluation standards, you can continue studying indefinitely without the four-year graduation requirent.

Until you beco a Martial Arts Family, apart from students like us in the Grandmaster Class, others face two choices.

Join the Academic Faction, staying at the school. Starting as a counselor, with advancent in realm, their status within the school rises step by step.

The second option is to leave school, no longer utilizing school resources. They might join a company or the military, and many choose this path, though generally speaking, the Academic Faction is more popular."

ng Chuan nodded, understanding these insights.

After all, it’s a place of personal learning and growth; Chu people tend to be nostalgic, and most who can stay in school choose to remain at United University for further study.

The two walked, and ng Jiaolong was as happy as a little butterfly.

That annoying Zheng Zhenzhen had finally left, and she thought she could finally have ng Chuan all to herself.

She looked back at ng Chuan, smiling brilliantly, and continued:

"These are the situations for regular students; for us in the Grandmaster Class, the pressure is actually greater.

The school has corresponding evaluations for us as well, but it’s dynamic. If it’s detected that you’ve lost the potential to beco a [Martial Arts Grandmaster], your status will be stripped, which is very cruel.

The school’s annual expenses on the Grandmaster Class are imnse; just the study points subsidies alone cost over a hundred million a year, not to ntion other spending is even more."
