Chapter 492: Chapter 302: Yulin Army Wounded, The Demon Mountain Front

Yu Fei stared speechlessly at the crazed Martial Saint Honglian.

"You’ve been reading too many novels! But the Founder... no matter how you look at it, he really seems like a transmigrator with a system!"

The mention of the Founder immediately piqued Zhuo Feiming’s interest, and she began discussing it with him animatedly.

"Seriously, mortal literature has blown up these past few years. The premises get more and more ridiculous, but there are some good ones. Let me tell you, I’ve loved reading novels since junior high. Back then, I was into things like those female-oriented sweet romance stories. It was only after I started cultivating martial arts that I got into male-oriented novels.

There’s been a ton of fanfiction about the Founder lately. Stories about being reborn or transmigrating to before the New Calendar, stealing the Founder’s system, and making the Founder his little brother... there’s no shortage of those.

But they’re all written by a bunch of normal people, so they’re too low-grade. They aren’t extraordinary Martial Artists, so they have no idea what a Martial Artist’s strength is really like. They’re all just writing whatever, and they can never seem to get away from romance and stuff.

And the fight scenes are incredibly stiff. It’s just ’you use one move, I use one move,’ and they have to shout out the names of their techniques during battle. It’s so moronic.

Sigh... I really want to teach them how to write novels. How can life be all about sappy romance? Shattering the heavens with a single spear—that’s what shows a hero’s true colors!"

Yu Fei couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"Miss Zhuo, that’s because you can actually shatter the heavens with a single spear. Your life is basically a protagonist’s script. You have unparalleled talent, you were taught by one of the strongest masters of this generation, and you even said you were unrivaled among your peers at the same rank. At such a young age, you’re already standing at the absolute peak of human combat strength.

Also, don’t tell me you’ve actually written a novel before?"

Zhuo Feiming waved her hand dismissively, changing the subject. "What protagonist? I think you’re the real protagonist, kid. The future belongs to you young people!"

"By the way, are you going to look for Yan Sea? I don’t know what he discovered, but if he’s looking in the wrong direction, he could get into trouble!"

Yu Fei nodded. "Of course I have to find him. That’s why I plan to stay at the university for a while and see if any news comes up."

Zhuo Feiming looked lost. "Shouldn’t we start the investigation with our Shenxiao Army? What kind of news are you expecting to get by waiting at the university?"

Yu Fei smiled. "You don’t understand, Miss Zhuo. If I stay here at Shenhan University, news will definitely come to me."

’Since the old man set up this whole scheme, there’s no way he’d let me stay on the sidelines. I’ll just wait for him to make his move. Ye Shuping will definitely arrange for me to get involved, which saves me the trouble.’

’As for the other lead, their target can only be me. Staying on campus is actually the safest option.’

Zhuo Feiming didn’t press the matter. She had only been offering a suggestion.

Just as Yu Fei predicted, not even half a month after he returned to Shenhan University, the tracks of destiny were triggered once again—this time from Ye Shuping’s side.

In the Yulin Army’s group chat, he would always see his friends asking if he was around.

Unfortunately, over the past year or so, every time they asked for him in the group, they came up empty. Yu Fei would sometimes see the messages when he returned and reply, but it was always to no avail.

But at this stage, everyone was incredibly busy. When Yu Fei was available, they weren’t, so they missed each other again and again.

In the blink of an eye, they were already in their third year of university, yet they still hadn’t managed to meet up.

This time, however, Li Pengfei and Liu Ze of the Yulin Army had returned to campus early. As usual, they left a message in the group chat. Yu Fei saw it right away and went to the campus hospital to find them.

Shenhan University’s internal hospital was located right next to the Determination Platform. It was mainly used to provide rapid treatment for low-to-mid-rank students injured during sparring. This was his first time going there.

Building A, 18th floor, Recovery Room 1807. There, he saw the two of them in a horrifying state.

Li Pengfei was missing an arm and a leg, held in place by special equipment while submerged in a tank. Liu Ze was even worse off. The guy had lost four of his five limbs, with only his right arm remaining intact. A deep gash on his face split his features in two.

Liu Ze was the first to see Yu Fei enter. He got so excited that he started bubbling furiously, but he couldn’t speak.

Li Pengfei was startled awake, his voice coming through a Holographic Mirror Helmet.

"Boss! We finally get to see you! Waaaah... We’re in such a miserable state!"

Liu Ze waved his only remaining right hand, the bubbles from his mouth coming even faster. His head was too severely injured for him to wear a Holographic Mirror Helmet.

Yu Fei was speechless. He pulled them into a mental network.

’They’re all prodigy Martial Artists. By now, they should have at least mastered the basic mental network!’

"What happened to you two? How did you get injured so badly?!"

Yu Fei couldn’t understand. The main front had always been under human control, and the aliens’ rigid, mechanical attack patterns had been thoroughly studied long ago. Besides, prodigy Martial Artists all had Guardians before graduation. How could they possibly get hurt like this?

Moreover, the moment he saw them, it triggered a reaction from the tracks of destiny. ’Surely Ye Shuping didn’t intentionally arrange for these two to get injured and come back, right?’

’Liu Ze’s situation is just too tragic. His injuries are so severe that if it weren’t for advanced medical martial arts, he’d have ended up a one-armed eunuch!’

Liu Ze couldn’t wait to explain, "Boss, we were in the Demon Mountain Realm and got ambushed by a fully-formed unit of the Yuanmo Royal Clan! Our losses were devastating. Some people died on the spot!"

"What?"

Yu Fei found it completely unbelievable. Under Ye Shuping’s watch, how could any prodigy students die in battle? It was simply outrageous!

"Did... did anyone from the Yulin Army die?"

His voice was laced with tension. They were all classmates, after all. ’If I had been there,’ he thought, ’I could have held them off, even against a fully-formed unit of the Yuanmo Royal Clan. As long as I didn’t run into a 9th-rank enemy or a large number of 8th-ranks, I could have handled it.’

Li Pengfei’s voice was low. "Deng Yu from the Yulin Army died in battle. The two of us were too seriously injured to keep fighting, so we were urgently transferred back for treatment. And it wasn’t just our class. Two people from the Iron-Blooded Divine Guards, from Li Jueyin’s class, also died. Someone from Senior Zhang Hu’s Puppy Patrol and Senior Fenghua’s class also sacrificed their lives on the spot!"
