Chapter 55: Learning from Yu Sheng, Wealth and Prosperity
"The city is too dangerous; you cannot go back!"
The clerk seemed to have guessed something, his brow furrowed as he spoke.
At that moment, Liu Qingfeng straightened his back sharply.
"Reserve Forces of Jiangbei Province, member of the 308th batch, Liu Qingfeng!"
"Enlisted at Demon-Suppressing Pass in the year 144 of the Dawn Era."
"Defended the city for two years!"
"Demon-Suppressing Pass military rule: Whenever, wherever the human race is attacked, we must fight!"
"The enemy must be vanquished; we will fight to the death!"
Liu Qingfeng's voice echoed through the air.
The clerk instinctively stood up straight, fist to chest, his expression solemn, "Mo Pavilion Branch of Jiangbei Province, logistics group clerk Wu Liangzhu."
"But please trust Mo Pavilion!"
"There’s no need to take risks."
Liu Qingfeng shook his head seriously: "As a soldier, it is my duty to protect the human race."
"As a teacher, protecting my students is also my duty."
"There’s no reason not to go."
"Moreover, I cannot disgrace the name of Demon-Suppressing Pass."
"The spirits of countless heroes, greater than the heavens!"
Liu Qingfeng’s words were forceful, and then his gaze softened as he looked at Yu Sheng, "Yu Sheng, I'll be waiting for you in Mobei City. Win the first place and come find me."
After saying this, he took a deep breath and turned to leave.
Without any hesitation.
The slightly damaged blue sword appeared behind him, the faint glow from the four crystals seemed to become sharper at that moment.
"Reserve Forces of Jiangbei Province, member of the 305th batch."
"Enlisted at Dawn Pass in the year 141 of the Dawn Era!"
...
"Reserve Forces of Jiangbei Province, member of the 309th batch."
"Enlisted at Death Pass in the year 145 of the Dawn Era!"
...
Loud voices rose from the crowd, and one by one, parents walked out from among them.
Their bodies were incomplete.
But what remained unchanged was the sincerity in their eyes.
Just like when they had climbed those blood-stained passes, full of valiant spirit.
Awakened items appeared, incomplete yet defiant, radiating their own unique brilliance.
Three crystals, two crystals...
Though their strength might not suffice, they were fearless.
Some children watched as their fathers and mothers walked away, unable to hold back their tears.
But no matter how intense their emotions, these people... did not look back.
It might have seemed foolish, and perhaps Mo Pavilion had enough personnel, maybe... they weren't needed.
But they went anyway.
Just as they had in the past.
Even if it meant saving just one more person, it was worth it.
They couldn't sit comfortably here, watching the chaos of battle unfold within the city.
Even if they were later criticized for needlessly sacrificing themselves, what of it?
At least they remained true to their humanity and their hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Cult is causing chaos in Mobei City."
"There are many of them."
"The battlefield will gradually move to the north of the city, where the civilians have been arranged to evacuate in advance."
"This journey will be difficult, I will be here, waiting for your... triumphant return!"
Wu Liangzhu, the Clerk, watched as each figure departed, his emotions surging violently inside.
Nothing was more shocking than this moment.
Perhaps...
This is why humanity has stood firm against the demon clans until now.
Everyone can fight.
Everyone... is a hero.

When needed, they can fight, fearless, unretreating.
Perhaps, with these people's help, truly fewer lives might be lost.
Even in this moment, Wu Liangzhu somewhat regretted why he hadn't joined the Reserve Forces, why he hadn't ascended Demon-Suppressing Pass.
Instead, he sat here, only able to watch them move forward.
Out of place.
"Win first place?"
Yu Sheng stood at the door for a long time, silently watching everything unfolding before him, bewildered, puzzled.
Why were they... like this...
Why... protect.
Was it worth it?
For some reason, Yu Sheng's heart throbbed violently at this moment.
Watching Liu Qingfeng's departing figure, Yu Sheng finally silently entered the illusory door.
His teacher had asked him to win first place.
Then he would... try his best.
"The exam continues, name!"
Wu Liangzhu sat down, called out again.
But the hand holding the pen still trembled slightly, lingering on the name 'Liu Qingfeng'.
……
"It seems like the Cult has brought quite a few people this time..."
"No wonder that miser Lin Feng is offering 200k."
"Damn!"
Wang Wenxuan cursed as he looked at the quiet street suddenly filled with Cult followers, identifiable by the red cloth wrapped around their heads. He stretched his arms and legs a bit.
Then, an exaggeratedly designed axe appeared in his hand. The axe was inlaid with four dark red crystals, forming intricate patterns that converged at the back of the axe into a wolf's head design. It looked ferocious.
"Heh, it's payday!" Wang Wenxuan’s eyes gleamed with a mad excitement as he pulled out a small camera and attached it to his collar. With a low growl, he charged forward.
To him, these weren't just Cult followers; they were walking money bags!
Following in Yu Sheng's footsteps, aiming to get rich!
Elsewhere, Zhao Qingyi, dressed in a flowing white gown, walked down the street with her hands clasped behind her back, her expression serene. With each step, a layer of frost appeared under her feet.
Her movement was as graceful as a startled swan and as smooth as a swimming loong.
She seemed like a celestial being, untainted by the dust of the world.
Ice blades formed in mid-air and fell like a rain of ice.
In moments, the cobblestone pavement was stained with blood, which was soon washed away by the water formed from the melting frost.
Blood, bodies, and a celestial being...
It was as if these elements combined to create a beautiful Scroll.
In the distance, members of the Demon Exorcism Pavilion were also spreading out, fighting with no grace compared to Zhao Qingyi.
They were like four brutes, charging through the crowd like bears.
Only An Xin mimicked Zhao Qingyi’s demeanor, with hands behind his back and eyes narrowed like crescent moons, his lips curled in a sweet smile.
But the next second, a common follower of the Cult exploded into a cloud of blood mist right in front of him, splattering blood on An Xin’s face and body.
Yet, An Xin seemed unconcerned, continuing to hop and skip through the blood rain, a lollipop in his mouth and his pigtails swinging in the air.
Compared to Zhao Qingyi’s celestial grace, An Xin seemed more like a witch who had stepped out of hell.
The contrast between the two was stark.
However...
To those involved with the Cult, their essence is largely the same.
They are all bandits.
Until...
"God-Servant from Pantheon Sect of Mobei City, at your service."
"God-Servant from Pantheon Sect of Xinhai City, at your service."
"God-Servant from Pantheon Sect of Changchun City, at your service."
One by one, figures in black robes emerged from the distance, effectively intercepting the group.
Otherwise, continuing this fight would only lead to the total annihilation of the Sect.
Their battlefield was not here.
"Ladies and gentlemen, by divine decree!"
"Today, we shall destroy that school and declare to the world the fate of those who do not respect the gods!"
A God-Servant shouted.
