Chapter 114 Holy Object
February 1st was the first day of the new semester at Wuyi College. Early in the morning, the dormitory supervisor called some students, including Chen Chuan, outside.
He shook the form in his hand and said to the students in front of him:
"I've seen that most of you only attended a very small number of open and invited classes last year. This was your choice, and the teacher can't say anything.
However, the teacher from the Maca exchange program is going to give an invitational class today. You can go and show your support, and it will be like attending your invitational class and open class this year."
When the students heard about this good thing, they immediately agreed.
The dorm supervisor warned, "Don't underestimate this teacher Maka. They may not be as good as us in fighting, but in some areas, they have their own unique skills. To win our respect, they will share some knowledge that is not taught in their own country. It will be beneficial to learn more."
When the students heard what the dormitory teacher said, they became interested and no longer just dealt with it as before.
Because the invitation class was approaching, Chen Chuan and the other students left the dormitory building and walked towards the teaching venue specially designated for exchange teachers and students.
This place is very close to the dormitory building, only a five-minute walk away. When Chen Chuan and others came in, they saw that the Maka teacher was already sitting there.
The man was about forty years old, a typical Maka, with a hooked nose and a high forehead. He was wearing only a simple training suit. His muscles were very smooth, his skin was bronze, he wore beads around his neck, and a few white feathers were inserted in the decorative band on the back of his head.
When the students came in, they greeted him first, and after getting permission, they sat down on the cushions placed on the floor. Chen Chuan found a seat near the front.
When the time was almost up, the Maka teacher stood up and said in fluent Dashun Mandarin:
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is 'Duma', which means teacher in Maca. However, we Maca people all speak the language of the Dashun Republic, so it has gradually become a title and a respectful name. You can call me Teacher Duma. Well, it may feel a bit strange, but you can call me that."
After the teacher spoke for a few words, the students felt that the atmosphere was not rigid and was more relaxed, which somewhat reduced the unfamiliar distance between them.
"I'm very happy to teach the students of Wuyi Academy during this exchange and study. Our population in Maca is only over one million, and there's only one fighting academy in the country. Our fighting level isn't as high as yours, but we do have some unique techniques.
In our understanding as Maca people, all things originate from nature, nature is omnipresent and capable of various changes. The highest spiritual concept of Maca people is to control oneself and integrate into nature.
We believe that everyone is a slave to their body, so we must liberate ourselves and become the true master of our body. Next, let me show you how to coordinate your body. I'll start with a relatively simple movement.
He stretched his hands out to the sides, with his thumb and little finger extended, making the sign of six with both hands, especially the little finger, which was raised high and very obvious.
Some of the students also did as they were told. Although anyone could do this action, they felt that it was definitely not that simple and there must be more to come.
Sure enough, Teacher Duma smiled, and then maintained this posture, slowly sat down, and then used her incredibly sensitive toes to easily take off her pair of socks, and made two sixes with her toes. Then, while maintaining this posture, the middle toe slowly stood up, and then fell back easily.
He said: "Students who are interested can try to follow it."
Some of the students began to try. It was fine to take off the socks with their feet, but when they tried to use their toes, their faces began to distort.
What kind of weird course is this?
Chen Chuan was thoughtful. Now his alienated tissue had penetrated into every tiny part of his body. Even without demonstrating, he knew clearly that he could do this easily.
It is difficult for people who do not have this part of alienated tissue or whose muscles and tendons are not trained enough to do it. This technique of the Maca people seems to be specially designed to develop control over the subtle parts of the body.
Teacher Duma then added: "What I am demonstrating now is only the basic part of Maca Karma. In this class, I will give students a general introduction to its learning process and mastery methods.
Students, don't underestimate it. Long-term training can improve your control over yourself and your perception of the outside world. When used in fighting, you can better perceive subtle movements and changes. I am sitting here now and can sense each of your breathing, heartbeat, body temperature, and even blood flow.
If you are interested, you can come to the class regularly. In the next semester, I will teach you this unique skill of Maca people."
While the class was in session, in the ninth-floor dormitory of the A-grade student dormitory building, a young Maca man was looking out from the gap in the curtains.
He had strong facial features, high brow arches, a small earring hanging on one ear, and a headband-like headdress wrapped around his hair. He had a very strong physique and was obviously a skilled fighter.
At this moment, the half-closed door behind him was pushed open, and another Maca student came in and said to him, "Nali, Meili has been notified."
The man named Nali didn't turn around, but just said hello.
The Maca student sat down on the sofa and complained, "The male and female dormitories here in Dashun are separate, so we can't live together."
Seeing that Nali didn't say anything, he looked at it and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Nally said, "Look at the people here."
"What's so good about them? Don't they look similar to us? They're everywhere on the street."
Nally said, "And look at the land here."
The Maca student was stunned for a moment, then lay down on the sofa and looked up. "There's nothing to see here. This place doesn't belong to us now. It hasn't belonged to us since the moment our tribe gave up our ancestral land."
Nali said, "Shani, have you met the tribe members in the school?"
Shani said, "Don't mention it. They no longer consider themselves Maka people. What kind of tribe are they? Now they are no different from the people of Dashun."
Nali said, "Then we can only rely on ourselves this time. Go and call everyone over."
"Now?"
Nali nodded, "Now."
"Trouble." Shani muttered, stood up and walked out.
When he came back, he was followed by seven Maca students. Fortunately, the dormitory room was relatively large, so even though there were so many people together, they didn't feel crowded. Everyone found a place to sit down.
Nali pulled the curtains of the French windows, then turned around and looked at everyone who came in. He said, "According to the information transmitted between the country and Wu Yi, if we are unlucky, our identities will be exposed in five days at most, so we must get the things as soon as possible.
According to the scheduled procedure, in two to three days, Teacher Duma will take us to the Yangzhi City Foreign Affairs Bureau to have friendly exchanges with the foreign affairs officials who come to contact us. At that time, the big oak leaf that we have enshrined in Yangzhi City will be taken out and displayed. This is our only chance to get it back.
However, the danger of this matter is imaginable. Although the resistance forces here have agreed to cooperate with us, we will have to face the security forces of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and we will not be allowed to carry weapons. It is very difficult. Are you ready to sacrifice yourself? "
Shani said, "Nali, needless to say, the moment we set foot on this ancestral land, we have been inspired by the ancestral gods. We will definitely take back the sacred objects of our Maka people."
The others also showed a determined expression on their faces at this time.
Nali looked at everyone present. Everyone was looking at him firmly, and no one avoided him.
He said in a deep voice: “Zu’a, Shani, and a few of you, in the name of fighting, go and test the level of the Wuyi students on the floors below in the next two days.
During the exchange ceremony, these students might go with us. If they find something wrong, they will definitely try to stop us. We need to first understand their strength so we can take appropriate action."
"good!"
Everyone present agreed.
Nali nodded seriously, then asked everyone to go back. About two hours later, there was another knock on the door. He hurried over to open the door and welcomed Teacher Duma in.
He said, "Teacher, is the class over?"
Duma came to the window and opened the curtains. He said, "The students from Dashun Republic are all very advanced. Although this is their first time learning Maca Karma, I can sense that several of them have mastered the basics right away."
Nali was very surprised: "So fast?"
Duma sighed and said, "After all, Dashun has a large population, so they can find many people who are born with natural gifts. However, our population of the Maka people is too small, and the country has to save money to support fighters like us."
He turned around and said solemnly, "You can't sacrifice yourself here so easily. You have a brighter future ahead of you. I will try to hold off those present while we seize the oak leaf. Once you've got what you need, leave as soon as possible. As many people as you can leave."
Nali said with a heavy expression: "Teacher, will the resistance here really help us when the time comes?"
"Yes, because they want to involve us Maka people with them. Even though they are using us, we must do this for the return of the sacred objects. Besides, we are not without ways to make amends."
Nali said, "I still don't understand. Since the oak leaves originally belonged to us, why can't we just ask Yangzhi City for them? We have such a good relationship..."
Duma shook his head and said, "It's different. Right now, they only know it's a symbolic object, so they don't care much. But if they knew it was our sacred object, they might not return it to us. After all, the world's repercussions are deepening with each passing year. We'd rather take the object first and let the country explain it later."
After class, Chen Chuan returned to the dormitory. He thought the course was interesting and had many good points, so he thought he could attend it when he had free time.
As soon as he returned to the seventh floor, the dormitory supervisor called him: "Student Chen Chuan, your phone is ringing."
Chen Chuan hurried over, and the dormitory supervisor said to him, "Student Chen Chuan, you have so many calls, you can apply for a separate phone line."
Chen Chuan was a little surprised: "Is it possible?"
The dorm supervisor smiled and said, "You received the scholarship for the first half of the semester, so you have the right. However, if you don't receive it this semester, it will be revoked."
"I understand. Thank you, teacher."
Chen Chuan went up and picked up the phone. Ren Shu's excited voice came from the phone: "Mr. Chen, the Government Affairs Office has just issued a task. The commissioned personnel sent earlier have found the main base of the Feitou Cult. It is in an old village in the northwest Barbarian Mountains. The Government Affairs Office is preparing to concentrate its manpower in the mountains to eliminate this group of cultists.
We're currently lacking experts in handling flying heads. Because we successfully handled it last time and the Government Affairs Office was satisfied, they've handed the matter over to our company again. I wonder if Mr. Chen is available to take it on?"
Chen Chuan's eyes moved and he asked, "What time?"
Ren Shu replied, "The encirclement and suppression is scheduled for tomorrow noon, Mr. Chen. We may need to arrive at the Manshan Mountain area tonight. That means we only have one afternoon to prepare. We don't need to deal with the peripheral issues. We only need to take care of the final elimination of the flying head monster."
Chen Chuan considered it for a moment and decided that, for the sake of caution, he needed to discuss this matter with Cheng Zitong first. He said, "Wait for my reply first."
