Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 56 - 52: The Past of Heng Province, New Martial School

Chapter 56: Chapter 52: The Past of Heng Province, New Martial School

So Dad is a well-known philanthropist in academia!

Loves helping those in need, even if it means giving away all his family assets.

Whoever hears about him would have to give him a thumbs up, praising him as the timely rain of the Imperial Capital, the protector of Hai Province.

Lin Xiaohan almost laughed from being angered by his sister.

His father Lin Shuangtian had a bad habit of little gambling fun in his early years, whenever he met people, he’d start betting after three sentences.

A guest professor at one of the Four National Universities, so poor that he had to eat from the student cafeteria every meal.

Even now there are stories in Huabei Imperial Capital about Professor Lin’s frugal lifestyle and his dedication to learning, eating steamed buns with plain water every day.

If it weren’t for meeting a mother who happened to be interested in one of the branches of the Spiritual Ability Domain, ancient history, they wouldn’t have gotten together.

Then attaching himself to grandmother and grandfather’s high-class family in the Imperial Capital, Professor Lin would have starved to death drinking northwest wind.

Speaking of which, mom was also dad’s student back in the day...

Wait, why did I say "also"?

"Alright, alright, I can’t win against you, by then we’ll be bankrupt, unable to buy clothes and bags, having to sell collections to live, don’t drop little pearls."

Lin Xiaohan felt helpless, if he had known that sending Lin Yunqing to the Youth Palace as a volunteer teacher would lead to this, he would have begged his parents.

As the director of the General Affairs Department of Qiguang Heng University, and having had experiences working in various top universities, Lin Xiaohan had seen no fewer than hundreds of talented students.

Dongxia is full of those born with extraordinary talents and exceptional luck, even including descendants of Martial God families, whose talents were so astonishing that they could compete in the Star Cup at a young age and achieve good ranks, progressing towards the ultimate peak.

The most outstanding among them was none other than his sister’s childhood friend Yu Li.

"Do you think this Assistant Qin could catch up to Yu Li?"

Lin Xiaohan pulled out a chair in the restaurant, sitting across from Lin Yunqing:

"The former was born in Heng Province, a border star whose external shipping lines had been blocked for nearly ten years.

The latter grew up in the military district courtyard, attended Lantian Kindergarten, followed by elementary and middle school in government institutions.

Before high school, Xiao Qin might not even have understood the concept of Life Force cultivation, while Yu Li was already practicing Military Boxing with the guards of his grandparents.

I admit, extraordinary talent and hard work can bridge some of the gaps brought by one’s background.

However, it’s not only the children of Old Factory Street workers who understand the importance of self-discipline and diligence.

The progress Yu Li made to this day also required great effort. freёweɓnovel.com

When the talent and character are similar, family conditions and personal background become the final straw that crushes the opponent."

Lin Yunqing gently patted her delicate face, closed her little makeup mirror, and nonchalantly said:

"Not listening, not listening, a turtle chanting scriptures."

Thinking about his sister’s hard-earned savings of tens of millions evaporating, Lin Xiaohan felt inexplicable pain:

"Your elbow bends outwards! When I needed funds for research, you wouldn’t give a penny, but you’re very generous when it comes to a little boyfriend!"

Lin Yunqing pouted:

"Who told you to always say good things about Yu Li? Ever since kindergarten, I disliked that kid, and the older he got, the more annoying he became.

If I didn’t lack the talent to develop Life Force and had to follow Dad learning ancient history, I would absolutely crush him, hitting him so hard he’d crawl on the ground!"

Lin Xiaohan was speechless, he used to think his sister and Yu Li were a pair of happy enemies.

Later he realized Lin Yunqing’s dislike and annoyance towards Yu Li were completely genuine.

"Alright, I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore, do as you please. When Xiao Qin’s Life Force breaks through twenty points, bring him to Qiguang Heng University, I’ll find a New Martial teacher for him."

Seeing he couldn’t persuade Lin Yunqing, Lin Xiaohan had no choice but to change his tone:

"By the way, have you looked into the background of that Old Martial teacher of Xiao Qin?"

Lin Yunqing shook her head:

"Heard Xiao Qin mentioned once, seems to be a sports teacher at the affiliated school. But honestly, I don’t believe a sports teacher could cultivate an Old Martial genius who breaks physical limits."

Lin Xiaohan frowned and thought, he was new here and not familiar enough with Heng Province’s local Education Department, so he couldn’t think of any renowned teachers.

He said:

"The affiliated school of Old Factory Street was glorious in the past. At that time, Heng Province had not yet been blocked, and Dongxia planned to develop it into a strategic and economic forefront administrative zone.

Think about it, Dangyang East Suburb was the center of Heng Province then, and the affiliated school was unmatched."

Lin Yunqing had been in the Imperial Capital before high school and later transferred to Hai Province, so she was unsure about this history.

"Why did it become so dilapidated? The ’electronic blockade’ and ’energy restriction’ in Heng Province are absolutely unique."

She asked curiously.

"Can’t tell you."

Lin Xiaohan glanced at Qin Shi who was sitting far away in the living room:

"I only know some minor details, the specific situation is very complex, unable to give a clear and correct answer.

But one thing, you must remember, don’t use the communication devices and electronic tools you use in the Imperial Capital and Hai Province in Heng Province."

Lin Yunqing muttered softly:

"The airport security was so strict, they were all confiscated and disposed of."

Lin Xiaohan was still worried and reminded:

"Just listen well, Heng Province is a special place, considered barren land for Mechanics and Spiritual Ability Users, unable to produce good talents.

Maybe because extremities compensate for each other, in the past, it produced many Martial Artists, with quite a few remarkable figures."

Hearing this, Lin Yunqing suddenly became interested. Although she studied ancient history and did the dirty work of tomb raiding, she had aspirations of becoming a Valkyrie!

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have begged Dad to teach her New Martial Military Boxing.

"I know one ’Young Marshal’ Qin Huai’en, the grandson of Marshal Qin, who leads the Fourth Battle Group. Yan City Qin Family is shameless, always clinging to this relationship, wanting to trace back many generations to relate."

Lin Xiaohan counted on his fingers carefully:

"During the development of New Star University, in the pioneering period, everything was chaotic, various strong figures emerged, competing with each other. Like ’Chen Quan’ and ’Lin Yuanlong’ from Chen Lin’s half-heaven.

Yan City Qin Family was quite powerful early on, being a family of pioneers, like Qin Shouge, who single-handedly developed Yan City and guarded it for twenty years, his Spiritual Cultivation once nearly reached Grandmaster level.

But lately, there are fewer impressive figures, not many left a deep impression on me, there was a Liang, who made a name for himself, but his luck wasn’t good, his ’Flame Fist’ was fierce... Oh, and He Lanchan’s many versions of dying stories also include Heng Province."

Lin Yunqing giggled:

"He Lanchan’s stories are overused by street literature, every protagonist surely gets his Divine Tree secret collection and then rises to the top. Across Dongxia’s thirty-four administrative zones, there are at least thirty-four versions, even more.

Like a poor Imperial Capital boy getting dumped, setting a three-year promise, and then receiving He Lanchan’s powers.

A Hai Province prince gets his bones removed and is abandoned, ends up in Jiang Province’s countryside, only to find He Lanchan didn’t die, became a Divine Tree, secretly teaching supreme techniques."

Lin Xiaohan glared at his sister, only knowing how to read Old Era online novels, the rare network access was wasted on this?

"Heng Province’s version isn’t unfounded. Before He Lanchan’s death, he indeed responded to Martial Arts Association’s policy, and designated his Spiritual Cultivation ’Void Meditation Technique’ as an SSS-level textbook, and awarded it to Heng Province’s local branch.

It was supposed to be sent to the affiliated school, as a school treasure, but then the major military factory explosion happened, many textbooks were lost. Because of this incident, Heng Province’s branch is not well-regarded by the Martial Arts Association."

Lin Xiaohan tapped his fingers on the table, then jokingly said:

"You know, if you find this ’Void Meditation Technique’, which trains Spiritual Cultivation to a Saint level.

Three million investment would be nothing, taking it to Imperial Capital’s auction, no matter what price you set, those wealthy businessmen would grab it."

Lin Yunqing rolled her eyes, if she had such luck, her investments wouldn’t have gone down the drain these years.

Whatever she buys drops, sells rises, known as the "dark lamp of the industry".

Her close friend, inspector team leader Chen Yun, through the operation "buy against Yunqing, buy villas by the sea", almost earned enough for a million-dollar luxury car.

"Assistant Qin, this is my brother Lin Xiaohan, a teacher at Qiguang Heng University."

Lin Yunqing stood up and pulled her brother to introduce him to Qin Shi.

"Didn’t you say last time, you were very interested in New Martial styles. Qiguang Heng University is the base for New Martial in Heng Province, with various ’Biomimicry Stream’, ’Military Martial Arts Stream’, ’Extreme Stream’, flourishing everywhere."

Qin Shi sat far away, but the listening enhancement brought by [Extra-Sensory Perception] allowed him to catch bits and pieces of their conversation.

The names casually mentioned by the Lin siblings, such as the Fourth Battle Group’s Qin Young Marshal, old pioneers’ elders, were people he, a child of Old Factory Street workers, could never reach.

"Hello, Director Lin."

Qin Shi replied politely, if not for knowing Lin Yunqing by chance, he’d have to put his all into getting into Qiguang Heng University and perform well enough to join the student union or similar groups to possibly meet Lin Xiaohan.

"No need to be formal, I consider you as Yunqing’s... friend."

Lin Xiaohan glanced at his sister with hostile eyes, softening his tone:

"Thanks to Principal Ji’s vigorous promotion of New Martial at Qiguang Heng University, revival of styles, and update of textbooks, today’s prosperous scene of flourishing diversity is achieved.

I myself follow the path of New Martial, cultivating the renowned martial art of revival ’Extreme Nitrogen Ice Path’, belonging to the ’Extreme Stream’.

Revival Tongwen, one of the Four National Universities!

Qin Shi sighed inwardly:

"These elite individuals with good family backgrounds almost always aim for the Four National Universities. Because the top Martial Arts Association textbooks are shared only by these four top academies? It truly is a bridge with thousands of troops and horses!"

Thinking of his sister betting everything, Lin Xiaohan proactively offered a shortcut:

"If Mr. Qin wants to learn more about New Martial, you can borrow Yunqing’s student card, Qiguang Heng University’s virtual combat room is usually quite lively."
