Chapter 46: Madman Lu Nian and Sanctimonious Song He. (Three more chapters!)

Five days after the secret meeting with Mu Ningxue, the academy officially notified Mingzhu Academy and Imperial Capital Academy of the joint training.

The mission of this training is to go outside the security boundary and complete the designated task without any support.

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for these students who have always lived in an ivory tower.

To ensure that the students could cope with this experience, the school gave them a few days to prepare.

Including collecting magic tools, medicines and other necessary supplies

…

…

On the day of the training meeting, Song He, the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy, personally came on stage to explain to the students the location of the training, the content of the tasks, and things that need to be paid attention to.

Wang Feng looked at Song He standing on the podium, with a hint of coldness flashing in the depths of his eyes.

As a time traveler, he naturally knew Song He's true identity.

This seemingly highly respected dean is actually a scheming and unscrupulous "Old Six".

Song He is not only the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy, but also the mentor of the National Capital Team.

However, he has repeatedly sacrificed the safety of his students for his own benefit.

In the original novel, Song He clearly knew that Qin Yu'er was an ice-type victim, but still let her join the National Government Team.

In the end, Qin Yuer's identity was exposed, she was tried by the Holy City, and was sealed in Tianshan by the Court of Judgment, which became a tragedy.

As the dean of an academy, facing the victims, Dean Fu of Mingzhu Academy protected Ding Yumian very well.

It was not until a year after Dean Fu was killed by the demons in the Demonic Valley that Ding Yumian committed suicide due to secret calculations and the pressure of justice.

However, Song He turned a blind eye to Qin Yuer's tragedy and even pushed her into the abyss with his own hands!

But Songhe did much more than that!

Just like this joint training, he clearly knew that Lu Nian wanted to use Mo Fan as a test subject, but still chose to tell Lu Nian the location of the academy training, resulting in the trainees from Mingzhu Academy and Imperial Capital Academy being brutally killed by Lu Nian.

Even the later call to the southernmost region was suggested by Song He to Mu Ningxue.

In addition, Qin Yu'er and Mu Ningxue look very similar, and Mu Ningxue was invited by Song He to enter the Imperial Capital Academy.

It was hard to believe that this old man wasn't planning to sell Mu Ningxue again like he did to Qin Yuer.

"This scourge must not be left alive, but this old fellow is a veteran super-class. I am not strong enough to get rid of him..." Wang Feng thought to himself, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Soon, Songhe finished explaining the important matters of this training in Jinlin City.

"Individual power is definitely limited. This time when collecting data on the deserted city, I hope that both the students from Mingzhu Academy and the Imperial Capital Academy can assist each other and return smoothly and safely!" Song He said.

…

After the two school training teams were ready, they boarded a flight to the nearest city, Jinlin City.

Soon after the plane took off, the students gradually relaxed. Some began to talk in low voices, while others closed their eyes to rest and gather their energy for the upcoming experience.

However, at the same time, in the dean's office of the Imperial Capital Academy.

A man wearing a military coat and smoking a pipe pushed the door open and walked straight to Songhe.

"Army Commander, didn't Mingzhu reject your request? Why aren't you planning to give up?"

Songhe looked at the man with a gentle smile on his face, but there was a hint of meaning in his tone.

Lu Nian took a deep puff of cigarette, and in the smoke, his expression seemed a little gloomy. He whispered:

"Dean Songhe, the experiment has reached its final stage. All that's missing is a mage with dual-element talents to conduct the final experiment. How could I possibly accept this?"

Song He frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of admonition: "But, demon experiments have been banned by the Magic Association of the Five Continents. What you are doing is against the rules."

"Rules?" Lu Nian sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes:

"How can those high-ranking officials who are just sitting there doing nothing understand the plight of us at the bottom? Dean Songhe, you should understand that this experiment is a truly great initiative that can change the fate of mankind!"

His tone became increasingly agitated, his voice rising a few notches: "Isn't it because of physical limitations that mages are inferior to demons? The demon experiment has perfectly solved this problem!

Not only does it allow a mage to possess a physique comparable to, or even surpassing, that of a demon of the same level, it can also amplify magic, without the need to depict any stars! Isn't such power worth pursuing?"

"At the beginning, many domestic forces, the military, and the Magic Association all agreed to the research. Now we've just encountered some difficulties along the way. Are we going to back down now?"

"Wasn't the creation of that magic born at a huge price? If black magic can be classified as normal magic from forbidden techniques, why can't demons be listed as normal magic? Dean Songhe, we are really just one step away! As long as you hand Wang Feng over to us, the demon experiment will be completed!"

After listening to Lu Nian's words, Song He was silent for a long time.

After a moment, he slowly spoke: "I know everything you said, but have you considered the consequences? If you continue like this, you will become an enemy of the Five Continents Magic Association."

Lu Nian snorted coldly, his tone was full of determination:

"Humph! If I contribute to humanity, what does it matter if I'm the enemy of the whole world? As long as the demon experiment succeeds, the world will naturally come to my defense! As for Dean Songhe, you only need to tell me where my brother Lu Zhenghe is training."

Song He looked at Lu Nian, sighed, and then said slowly:

"The training location is in the deserted city of Jinlin."

Upon hearing this, Lu Nian turned and left without saying a word.

After leaving the Imperial Capital Academy, Lu Nian took out a recorder from his pocket.

He pressed the play button, and the conversation between him and Song He was clearly recorded.

"Old thing, you want to reap the benefits without doing anything? There is no such good thing!" Lu Nian sneered.

…

After arriving in Corning, the closest city to Jinlin City, by air, a total of seventeen people from Mingzhu Academy and Didu Academy had to continue on foot.

After all, in an area where demons are rampant, using transportation is tantamount to seeking death, and you will be besieged by a large number of demons in minutes.

Since there was little time on the road, Qingqing, known as the Encyclopedia of Demons in the Imperial Capital, began to explain the situation in Jinlin City to everyone and the crises they might encounter.

After a moment, Qingqing concluded, "If we follow the abandoned railway, we won't go in the wrong direction!"

In the past, the railway belonged to Anjie. With the destruction of Jinlin City, the area where this railway extended naturally became a place of demons.

So now the railway is a natural automatic wayfinding sign, and you can always reach Jinlin City by following it!

…

The team walked for about half a day and came to a tunnel with extremely dense vegetation.

Jinlin City has become the territory of demons, and places like tunnels are natural nests in the eyes of some demons.

Just standing outside the tunnel and seeing the strange and dense vines is frightening.

"This tunnel is two kilometers long. Judging from the frequency of demons we encountered before, this tunnel is likely to be inhabited by demons. Now we have two choices, kill our way through or climb over it." Song Xia said while looking at the map.

"Captain, what do you think?" Zhao Mingyue asked Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue didn't say anything, but just kept her eyes on Wang Feng.

"Crossing the mountain is too troublesome, let's kill our way through."
