Chapter 237: 0172 Dao Heart Spiritual Communication (1 more post! 4k extra for monthly ticket)

Dragon City Martial Arts University, helipad.

The helicopter slowly descended.

Li Gui looked at everyone and said,

"Everyone, hand over the Void Relics from this battle to me along with a list. The school will have someone apply for the bounty from the Void Control Department and transfer it into your accounts."

Lu Chenzhou took out a large pile of materials from his pocket, the most being Snake Woman’s Teeth, followed by Human-headed Snake Scales, and Dog Demon’s Teeth, totaling 3 million.

Others looked at Lu Chenzhou’s haul with envy. They might not lack money, but earning it through their own strength felt different than receiving it from their families.

Xiao He was holding six pairs of Snake Woman’s Scales, totaling 300,000. That was all the bounty he had earned that night. With his abilities, he could take on mid-risk Void Things.

But resolving them was time-consuming and strenuous, and not as efficient as hunting low-risk Void Things. He couldn’t finish fights in dozens of moves with a few punches like Lu Chenzhou.

Wang Hongdao also took out his gains and counted them,

"Teacher, I have 2.6 million here."

Old Tian laughed and said,

"You guys are amazing; I only got 1.8 million."

Chen Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at him and said,

"That’s not little at all."

She earned 1.55 million, only half of what Lu Chenzhou did.

That was also because of her powerful whip; otherwise, it would have been less.

After collecting everyone’s relics, Li Gui said,

"Go home and rest well. For those who have the energy, you can continue with tomorrow’s classes; if you’re too tired, it’s okay to skip. Special circumstances require special handling."

After the fierce battle, rest and recuperation were necessary.

Everyone, looking tired, returned home.

Lu Chenzhou arrived back at his villa where his parents were practicing punching as part of their morning exercise.

Li Xianghua asked,

"Chenzhou, everything is okay at Taihu, right?"

They had seen the news too. The Martial Arts Association and the police had called on the Martial Artists and experts from all over the city to go to Taihu to suppress the Virtual Disaster overnight. It seemed like a big deal.

Virtual Disasters in the past were not easily escalated to involve social forces.

The military could handle them.

"It’s all taken care of; I’m going back to sleep."

Lu Chenzhou took a bath and fell into a deep sleep.

A small swallow perched on a wooden dummy, quietly preening its feathers.

...

When he woke up, it was already noon.

After lunch, Lu Chenzhou took off his protective suit.

Unknowingly, there were some new abrasions and tears on it. Last night alone, he had killed several high-risk Void Things, and it was inevitable that the suit would get damaged.

"Patchwork again, another three years... I really need to get a high-level protective suit soon."

Injuries during emergency missions and damages to equipment meant the school would apply for compensation from the authorities, so this time he didn’t need to spend any money on repairing his protective suit.

He sent the protective suit out for repairs and proceeded to the dining hall for lunch.

"Junior brother, what a coincidence."

Two senior sisters were also there for lunch.

They looked equally exhausted, having had a strenuous night.

Ji Feiyan’s delicate cheeks even had a plaster stuck on them.

Lu Chenzhou asked with concern,

"Feiyan sister, are you injured?"

Ji Feiyan pouted and said,

"Don’t even mention it. A rigid hair shot out by a Void Thing scratched my face. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I might have been in much more danger. But it’s just a minor injury. I went to the school hospital for a checkup and there’s no other toxins. It’ll heal in a month."

She wasn’t worried about a scar.

With the physical quality of a Ninth Rank Martial Artist, even superficial skin wounds could fully recover.

While sipping soup and browsing her phone, Shi Ruyu mentioned,

"The news said, the remaining Void Things have been mostly eliminated, but a small portion of Spiritual Form Void Things took advantage of last night’s chaos and slipped into the urban areas. We need to be careful when going out; Su City will be chaotic for a while."

Ji Feiyan sighed,

"Ever since that incident at Taihu, Su City has never been peaceful."

Lu Chenzhou said,

"Not just Su City, the whole country is the same. We need to urgently improve our strength."

Ji Feiyan, picking up some food, said,

"It would be good to advance to Martial Artist; then my dad won’t worry as much."

Her goal was to advance to Martial Artist before she turned 28.

Six more years; it shouldn’t be a big problem.

Shi Ruyu said with a smile,

"We just need Chenzhou to become a Martial Artist first."

She had realized her potential too late; reaching Martial Artist by 30 would be good enough.

The three of them continued to chat while eating.

After the fierce battle the previous night, these young people deeply realized the severe crisis of the Void Realm. This was only in Su City, but if such large-scale disasters spread nationwide, could humanity, with its Martial Arts and technology, still fend them off?

Ji Feiyan suddenly said,

"Did you guys notice that the Void Things we encountered last night all had some bizarre human forms? Are all demons like this? These beings weren’t humans like us before they mutated, right?"

Lu Chenzhou suddenly remembered the cult followers he had encountered during field training.

He said,

"It’s possible. Cult followers can use so-called Divine Power to transform themselves into something neither human nor ghost, and they often lose their sanity when they transform, similar to demons. There must be some connection between the two."

Shi Ruyu looked solemn and worriedly added,

"If our world was ruled by the cult, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Lu Chenzhou said,

"That won’t happen."

He didn’t understand the humans in the Void Realm, but in this world, whether it’s technology or Martial Arts, humanity is always surpassing itself, progressing endlessly.

Lu Chenzhou was optimistic about the future.

Being pessimistic is useless; it only saps one’s fighting spirit!

Ji Feiyan laughed and said,

"Let’s talk about something cheerful. You two are participating in the Grand Pavilion Competition, right? How are your preparations? I looked it up online, and there are quite a few strong competitors this time. Even among the genius class like Chenzhou, there are over a dozen Instant Enlightenments. You can’t take it lightly."

She opened a video.

The publisher was an event-specific account of the Martial Arts Association.

[The 103rd Grand Pavilion Competition of the Da Xia Martial Arts Association will be held on February 2nd at the Phoenix Nest Pavilion in the Imperial Capital, featuring competitions across three age groups, spanning half a month.
