Chapter 147: Undercurrents Surging

Chen Fan hurriedly called Huangfu Cheng. From the other party, he learned that the news of the Beast Worship Cult attacking the city was not released by Huangfu Cheng, and as for who it was, it was unknown.

The spread of this news made the officials somewhat overwhelmed. Holding the idea of being prepared for the worst, the officials transferred more than half of the troops from Wanggu Pass and Jufeng Pass to be stationed in Chang'an City.

Huangfu Cheng repeatedly emphasized that everyone should return to Chang'an City in a few days.

However, after discussing it, everyone unanimously decided to set off immediately, even if it meant driving back to the National Martial Arts University.

For Chen Fan, his reason for returning to the National Martial Arts University was very simple: first, he wanted to save Tian Xiong as soon as possible; second, Yang Chuchu and Cat Girl were both at the National Martial Arts University, and he had reasons he had to go back.

Xia Zhiqiu was somewhat helpless, but in the end, he couldn't overcome everyone, so he had to arrange a bus to send everyone away.

Everyone was burning with anxiety, so Chen Fan simply snatched the driving rights of the bus. He stepped on the accelerator of this Yutong bus to the extreme.

At a speed of 160 mph, it sped like lightning on the national highway, leaving car after car behind.

The original driver on the side was already sweating from fear.

"Slow down, slow down, it's too fast, it's too fast!" He grabbed the handle on the side, his teeth chattering. As an ordinary person, he had never thought that a bus could speed at such a rate.

"Don't worry, this is not my limit, this is just the limit of this car!" Chen Fan held the steering wheel with one hand, his expression calm, without a ripple.

On the morning of July 14, under Chen Fan's overnight speeding, they finally arrived at Chang'an City.

Checkpoints were set up on all major roads here, with heavy troops guarding to prevent anyone from entering.

Chen Fan's vehicle was also intercepted.

"Please turn around and return. Currently, Chang'an City only allows exiting, not entering!" A soldier said solemnly.

"Why is this?" Everyone's faces turned ugly.

"Sorry everyone, in order to prevent members of the Beast Worship Cult from taking the opportunity to sneak into Chang'an City, no one is allowed to enter. This place has been under military control." The soldier said apologetically.

"Brother Fan, what should we do?" Everyone looked at Chen Fan, their backbone.

Mo Yichen's face stiffened, and he was about to force his way in.

Chen Fan was startled and hurriedly handed over a silver medal.

"Comrade, we are definitely not members of the Beast Worship Cult."

The young soldier took the medal handed over by Chen Fan, couldn't help but be stunned, and then widened his eyes.

Silver One-Star Medal!

What did this mean? It meant that the young man in front of him had made the most outstanding contribution in a rescue battle involving millions of people.

Moreover, this level of medal was only allowed to be awarded once per battle!

The soldier stood in awe and hurriedly gave a military salute to Chen Fan.

"Hello, Chief!"

The people behind Chen Fan didn't know what had happened for a while and cast puzzled looks.

But when they saw the silver medal clearly, they also widened their eyes.

"Silver Medal!!"

Even Mo Yichen's eyes couldn't help but fluctuate.

The gold content of this medal was too high.

"Brother Fan, how could you have such a high-level medal?" Everyone was excited and asked one after another.

Chen Fan did not explain, but looked at the soldier and said: "Comrade, can we enter Chang'an City?"

"Yes... yes you can!" The soldier hurriedly gave way.

"Thank you!" Chen Fan put away the medal, greeted everyone to get on the bus, and drove away.

"Brother Fan, how much contribution did you make to get this medal!" The emotions of everyone on the bus were still excited.

Du Huajun on the side was also somewhat envious: "Many ability universities have medal requirements for student graduation. For example, one of the graduation conditions for our National Martial Arts University is to obtain a Bronze Two-Star Medal. Junior, you have the conditions for graduation just after enrolling, and you are far ahead."

While everyone was talking, they headed straight for the National Martial Arts University.

When they appeared at Qingyuan Residence in the backyard of the National Martial Arts University, Huangfu Cheng couldn't help but stiffen his face.

"Didn't I tell you not to come back!"

But he immediately showed surprise.

"Your ability levels have all improved!?"

The expression on his face was extremely joyful and excited. Chen Fan was already Tier 2 Late Stage, and the rest of the Thunder Team had advanced to Tier 2 Mid Stage. This was simply a huge surprise for him.

With this cultivation, they had likely left the prodigies of other schools behind. This year, the National University Freshman Ability Competition championship for the National Martial Arts University was no longer an empty promise.

"Principal, this is Senior Mo." Chen Fan hurriedly introduced Mo Yichen to Huangfu Cheng.

"Divine Doctor Mo, I have long admired your name!" Huangfu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Huangfu Cheng led everyone to the medicinal bath barrel where Tian Xiong was recuperating.

"Divine Doctor Mo, do you think his heart can still be repaired?" Huangfu Cheng asked with some anticipation.

Mo Yichen placed his palm on Tian Xiong's heart area. After a careful examination, he said solemnly: "He didn't die from such a heavy injury. Besides your timely treatment, it has a lot to do with his willpower. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid the corpse would already be stinking by now."

"Is there a way?" Huangfu Cheng's expression became nervous.

"For me, it's easy!" Mo Yichen said confidently: "And he is now stuck on the edge of Tier 7 Peak. After waking up, I'm afraid there will be a chance for advancement. If he can grasp it, he can become a Grandmaster."

"Oh?!" Huangfu Cheng was somewhat pleasantly surprised: "Then I will trouble Divine Doctor Mo."

The time required to repair the heart of a Grandmaster powerhouse was not short. It was inconvenient for everyone to disturb, so they followed Huangfu Cheng out of the room.

Huangfu Cheng sent everyone away and had a long talk with Chen Fan.

After he carefully asked about Chen Fan's experiences these days, he sighed again:

"Chang'an City is now in a state of panic, with everyone fearing for their lives. This group of scum from the Beast Worship Cult really deserves to be killed by everyone!"

Chen Fan nodded and tried to guess: "The Beast Worship Cult wouldn't attack here for no reason. I think they might have come for Yang Chuchu!"

"It's possible!" Huangfu Cheng frowned and said: "There has been a piece of news circulating in the Beast Worship Cult that the offspring born from the combination of the True Phoenix Body and the True Dragon Body can inherit the will of the Beast God and become the Beast God's human body on Blue Star. After the Beast God descends, it will be a devastating disaster for humanity."

"Is this news true?" Chen Fan originally didn't believe in the so-called Beast God, but Cat Girl, as a former member of the Beast God Sect, firmly told him that the Beast God truly existed.

"Whether the Beast God exists or not, I don't know. The Beast God Sect is too mysterious. They have intricate connections with the other-dimensional space, and their methods are endless. Therefore, I infer that the Beast God truly exists, but it exceeds our scope of understanding."

"However, rest assured, I will send a Grandmaster-level teacher to secretly guard Yang Chuchu to ensure her safety."

"Then thank you, Principal Huangfu!"

Chen Fan left Huangfu Cheng and his next stop was the first floor of the dormitory, where he met that terrifying dormitory manager.

This Quasi-Martial Saint raised her eyebrows after seeing Chen Fan: "Yo, not bad. Haven't seen you for a few days and your strength is already Tier 2 Late Stage."

"However, I remind you that improving strength too fast is not a good thing. Too little tempering will lead to an unstable foundation. I suggest you find an other-dimensional space to kill for ten days and nights in a few days to polish your ability."

"Thank you for the guidance, Senior!" Chen Fan hurriedly thanked her.

He asked again: "Senior, how is Cat Girl? Has she woken up?"

"Not yet, but soon. It should be in these two days. The Southern Bright Li Fire in her body has stabilized. Come in and take a look."

Chen Fan carefully entered the room. On a small bed, Cat Girl was lying quietly, like a sleeping beauty. Her high breasts rose and fell with her breathing, which could be called a beautiful scene in the world.

"Eh? The aura she is emitting is several times stronger than before!?" Chen Fan was surprised.

"Hmm." The dormitory manager nodded and said: "The Nine Lives Phantom God ability is extremely special. If a higher-level ability is awakened, it will bring about a rapid improvement in strength. If a worse ability is awakened, it will be a significant decline in ability!"

"She is now Tier 3 Late Stage, and her cultivation is still rising rapidly. It should be no problem to reach Tier 4 after waking up!"

"That can be considered a blessing in disguise!" Chen Fan sighed in a low voice. ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
