295: Chapter 148 Dual System Conclusion, Resource Adjustment 295: Chapter 148 Dual System Conclusion, Resource Adjustment Guang Han Martial University’s temporary hospital.
In competitions between martial artists, serious injuries can easily occur, and the injured are usually brought here for treatment.
Although it’s a temporary hospital, the doctors and medical equipment inside are top-notch.
After the match, Xu Zhou and Qin Feng came here to visit Cheng Xin.
Cheng Xin lay inside a treatment pod, having just undergone surgery, tubes all over her body, her complexion pale, and looking very weak.
Her face was still somewhat tense, as if she was worried about something.
It wasn’t until Xu Zhou entered that the worry on her face slowly dissipated, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes.
“Senior Sister, we won,” Xu Zhou reported joyously.
Beside him, Qin Feng chuckled and said, “Xu Zhou avenged you, tore Yang Tiandou into pieces, and killed him on the spot.”
“Killed on the spot?”
Cheng Xin was surprised, her phoenix eyes wide.
She wasn’t surprised that Xu Zhou won the competition, but that he killed Yang Tiandou publicly.
Yang Tiandou was the treasure of the Imperial Martial Arts University and also a high-grade seed of the Divine Martial Department!
And he was killed by Xu Zhou in public?
“Isn’t there going to be trouble?” Cheng Xin asked worriedly.
“No trouble,” Xu Zhou said, “Afterwards, Elder Kui found out that Yang Tiandou had taken forbidden drugs, which is why his strength reached the mid-third-grade level.”
“Forbidden drugs?” Cheng Xin was stunned.
Xu Zhou immediately explained the situation at the time to her.
After hearing it, Cheng Xin couldn’t help but feel emotional.
No wonder she was surpassed despite breaking through; it turned out that the opponent had taken forbidden drugs.
At this moment, her mindset was much more balanced.
Although she didn’t show it outwardly in the previous battle, it had hit her heart hard.
But now, it didn’t feel so bad.
“Wait, mid-third-grade…” Cheng Xin suddenly realized, her phoenix eyes wide: “Junior Brother, you’ve reached the strength of mid-third-grade?”
Xu Zhou nodded, smiling: “Pretty much, but there’s still a gap between me and the peak of third-grade.”
Qin Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes!
You’re only in the late second grade, and you’re already thinking about clashing with the peak of the third grade?
How are the others supposed to live!!
Cheng Xin also sighed helplessly, her junior brother is becoming more and more remarkable.
After leaving the temporary hospital, Xu Zhou looked at Qin Feng, a serious look on his face.
“Senior Brother, what’s the result of the competition between the two departments, who won?”
Just now in the hospital, they subconsciously avoided this topic to prevent Cheng Xin from worrying.
But in reality, both Xu Zhou and Qin Feng were quite concerned.
Although the True Martial Department won the first and second-grade championships, this competition wasn’t just about who got the most champions, but about the overall condition of the participants.
This competition relates to the decision of the human upper-echelon, which path to choose?
Only if the overall strength is higher than the opponent can it prove that the path taken by the True Martial Department is stronger!
Qin Feng pondered and said: “Actually, our overall performance isn’t particularly outstanding, nor did it create a crushing advantage.”
“However, the True Martial Department has fewer people to begin with, and in recent years, they can hardly recruit, not even gathering S-level talents.
Achieving this result is already quite good.”
Qin Feng said, “I believe, those Ninth Grade Experts should be able to see this.”
Xu Zhou nodded, the True Martial Department had already performed exceptionally in this competition.
In the matches from the first to the third grade, some faced the top S-level talents with only A-level talent!
But the specifics depend on the decisions of the upper tiers.
Xu Zhou added: “I heard from the master, that if the True Martial Department wins, the country will abandon the Divine Martial Department.
Then what about the geniuses in the Divine Martial Department?”
Surely they can’t all be left out to dry?
“Maybe their cultivation resources will be reduced, or benefits decreased,” Qin Feng speculated, “Of course, they might also be dropped altogether.”
“Wouldn’t that be too cruel?” Xu Zhou frowned.
Qin Feng shook his head, his eyes suddenly turning extremely cold: “The path of martial arts is inherently cruel, especially at this critical juncture…”
Xu Zhou said nothing more.
He contemplated what he would do if the human upper-echelons chose the Divine Martial Department.
“Even if humanity truly chooses the Divine Martial, I still have the path of the Avatar to take,” Xu Zhou thought to himself.
With the Avatar, he can survive and develop, always growing, albeit not as fast as now.
But Xu Zhou’s concern wasn’t about that; it was about the situation with Yang Tiandou using forbidden drugs, making him sense a malicious intent from an unknown strong enemy.
This time, Xu Zhou didn’t even know who was targeting him.
The opponent having Yang Tiandou take forbidden drugs clearly meant they were aware of his strength and had prepared accordingly.
This sense of the unknown, and the malice from an unknown strong enemy, created a strong sense of urgency within him.
He must grow stronger quickly, at any cost!
Early the next morning, the Central Square was packed with people.
This time, not only both competitors came, but almost the entire faculty and student body gathered.
Because they knew that what followed related to the life and death of the True Martial and Divine Martial departments!
“Do you think the department that loses will really be abolished?”
“I don’t think so, at most, their benefits will be lowered.”
“Right, whether it’s the True Martial or Divine Martial, both are major human realms, surely they won’t be completely wiped out because of one competition, right?”
“I think so too, most likely they’ll just have some resources reduced…”
The crowd in the square buzzed with discussions.
“Look, Xu Zhou is here.”
“If it weren’t for him, the True Martial Department would’ve probably lost for sure this time…”
With Xu Zhou’s appearance, a multitude of gazes immediately fell upon him.
