Chapter 137: Fang Che's Investigation
Chapter 137: Fang Che's Investigation
The man from the Southeast Region was momentarily stunned.
After receiving the order, he immediately set off, but as soon as he stepped out, he received another message.
What was going on?
Why would he need to go to the White Cloud Martial Academy and circle the continent? But Dong Sansan was always meticulous in his calculations. If he said so, there must be a reason.
He couldn't afford to delay.
And so, he hurried towards the headquarters.
...
Fang Che had now arrived at the White Cloud Martial Academy for class.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Fang Qingyun waiting at the entrance.
"Cousin? Waiting for me? What's the matter?" Fang Che approached.
Fang Qingyun chided, "I'm waiting here, and if I'm not waiting for you, who else could I be waiting for?"
"Hmm... Aren't you on a mission?"
Fang Che was a little puzzled, "After the incident with Wan Zhimei, you've been on missions continuously. I thought you might be emotionally affected, but it doesn't seem to have impacted you."
"It's nothing."
Fang Qingyun smiled gently, "Wan Zhimei usually kept her distance when she was with us. We thought there was a reason for it, always feeling that we couldn't get close. Now that we know her identity as a Demon Sect spy, it's no wonder."
"With different beliefs and paths, how could we have fun together? I'm sure she also struggled when she was with us. During these recent missions without her, everyone felt things went more smoothly. Instead, we felt more harmonious."
Fang Qingyun's smile was warm.
"That's good." Fang Che felt relieved.
"This mission to collect spirit herbs was completed beyond expectations, and there were no dangers. Everything went well. When you write home, don't tell Auntie about my adventures."
Fang Qingyun gave a warning.
"I won't say anything."
Fang Che smirked, "I'll just tell them you went on a mission, fought, and achieved great merit."
"Damn!"
Fang Qingyun angrily said, "Then you're intentionally trying to get me beaten up by your uncle!"
He laughed and said, "This mission also had an unexpected surprise. We found a Snow Spirit Fruit, and after eating it, one can continuously nurture their meridians for half a year. There were seven fruits, and we divided them among the six of us. As the team leader, I took two."
He carefully took out a package from his embrace, gently opened it, and smiled, "I've already eaten mine, and I left one for you."
Seeing the Snow Spirit Fruit, Fang Che couldn't help but feel a warm sensation in his heart.
It had to be said that the warm feeling in his heart was very comfortable.
It was a pity that Cousin Fang was still an ordinary Martial Sage Sixth Rank, and there were many good things that he couldn't use yet.
However, the foundational cultivation resources he had given him were more than enough... Hmm... He could wait a little longer.
But just now, when he sensed his cultivation, he was already at the Martial Sage Sixth Rank? This progress was a bit too fast.
...
Fang Che was sweating profusely in the Spirit Energy Gravity Training Room.
It was already the end of the first hour, and he was about to start the second hour.
Bing Shangxue was still waiting at the entrance.
She chatted casually with the instructor guarding the training room.
The instructor clearly enjoyed talking with a beauty like Bing Shangxue, and the conversation was lively.
"Instructor Bing, these students of yours are truly talented."
"Yes, yes."
"I especially have high hopes for this one called Fang Che, and also for Mo Gan Yun. Their talents and perseverance are quite impressive."
"Yes, yes."
"Being a teacher must be tiring, right?"
"Yes, yes... I guess so."
"Does Instructor Bing have time tonight? I'd like to treat you to a meal."
"Sure... No, wait, I have something tonight."
Bing Shangxue sighed inwardly.
This instructor was thinking a bit too much. Oh well, newly assigned instructors often lacked a sense of propriety.
Should she teach him a lesson? Just as she was thinking about it, she saw several people approaching from the Academic Affairs Office.
Leading them was the Head of Academic Affairs, Xiang Xinghe.
"Instructor Bing Shangxue?"
Xiang Xinghe got straight to the point, "Is there a student in your class named Fang Che?"
"Yes. What's the matter?" Bing Shangxue furrowed her brows.
Xiang Xinghe's actions were never trivial.
What was going on?
"Call him out and come with us." Xiang Xinghe said calmly, "The Martial Academy needs to review him."
"Review what?"
Bing Shangxue's eyes deepened, "Wasn't he already reviewed when he entered the Martial Academy?"
"Being reviewed once is one thing, but if there are doubts, a review is necessary!"
Xiang Xinghe's expression turned stern, "Instructor Bing, this is not a matter for us to decide!"
Bing Shangxue took a deep breath, "Fang Che just entered the Gravity Training Room. Disturbing him now will affect his foundation. Let's wait until he's done."
She immediately used telepathy to contact Li Changkong.
Xiang Xinghe's eyes were sharp like an eagle's, and he glared at Bing Shangxue, "Ice Instructor, delaying time serves no purpose. This is the Headmaster's direct order."
Bing Shangxue stood her ground, "I'm just an assistant instructor. The chief instructor is Li Changkong. If you take him from my hands, I won't be able to explain myself."
"This is the order from the Martial Academy!"
"But we also have our rules!"
Bing Shangxue was unwavering.
Just then, Li Changkong hurriedly arrived, "What's going on here?"
"They want to take Fang Che away..."
Bing Shangxue stepped forward and explained the situation through telepathy.
Li Changkong frowned, "Let me see the documents for taking him away!"
After examining their paperwork, everything was in perfect order.
Li Changkong made a request, "As the chief instructor, I insist on accompanying him!"
Xiang Xinghe was furious, "Li Changkong, you're being outrageous! By shielding a suspect like this, what are your intentions?"
Li Changkong replied, "Even if my student is truly problematic, I want to see the issue for myself. If he's innocent, I can bring him back right away."
Xiang Xinghe was about to explode in anger, but a calm voice interrupted, "Let him come along."
Xiang Xinghe fell silent for a moment.
He said, "Then come along, but only you. And don't speak out of turn, it's very important."
Li Changkong took a deep breath and said, "Alright."
To Bing Shangxue, he said, "Wait here for Mo Gaiyun. I'll bring Fang Che out."
"Let the instructor guarding the cultivation room fetch him. You can't go."
Xiang Xinghe responded stiffly.
...
Li Changkong sighed, "I just hope you won't wrong a good person. This child is a good kid."
"Whether you wrong him or not, it's not our concern. We're just following orders. We've been investigating many people in the Martial Academy recently, all related to the Demon Sect. How did Fang Che... come under scrutiny?"
...
Ever since obtaining the ancient jade, Fang Che's divine perception had increased several times over. His cultivation speed had significantly improved compared to his previous foundation.
After all, divine perception was closely tied to the soul, and its strength represented one's power.
This was because he could focus his efforts for longer periods.
To illustrate, when ordinary people study or work with intense concentration, they typically feel tired after an hour or two, leading to dizziness, blurred vision, and a loss of focus.
This was due to the limitations of their divine perception.
If one's divine perception was powerful, focusing for ten hours would be far more effective than focusing for just one hour and then getting distracted. Thus, Fang Che had made considerable progress in the past few days.
Moreover, Fang Che could vaguely sense that this ancient jade had more uses than just this, but for now, he could only access this level of its power.
He would worry about the rest later.
Currently, in the Spirit Energy and Heavy Gravity Cultivation Room, Fang Che was striving to compress his cultivation, absorbing the primordial spirit energy in the room to push his cultivation to the peak of the fifth level of the Primordial Grand Master. He was just one step away from the sixth level.
The spirit energy roared in his dantian, coursing through his meridians, and as it circulated, it released a substantial amount of spiritual power, much of which was transformed into his own strength. The entire room was filled with spirit energy, like being enveloped in clouds.
Fang Che's breathing had transformed into two long dragons, inhaling and exhaling. With each breath, he expelled large amounts of impure spirit energy and absorbed pure spirit energy.
Then, his entire body seemed to swell, and the spirit energy flowed endlessly through his meridians, constantly being digested.
With each exhalation, his body returned to its normal state, and the cycle continued.
Fang Che planned to break through to the sixth level within the next day or two.
This way, he would have more than enough time.
He could easily meet the four-month General Rank deadline set by the Seal God Palace.
Nearly two months had already passed.
Time was running out, and even reaching the first level of the General Rank might not be enough. Ideally, he should aim for the sixth, seventh, or eighth level...
But Fang Che knew that even with his exceptional talent, it was a lofty goal and impossible to achieve so quickly.
With time being of the essence, he needed to improve as much as possible, even if it was just a breath of spirit energy. These spirit energies were his lifeline!
Once he reached the General Rank, he would face extremely challenging tasks, or perhaps battles.
Otherwise, the Seal God Palace wouldn't be so anxious.
Recalling the sparring session with the Seal God Palace that day, when they had used their full strength without holding back, Fang Che became even more aware of the danger of the task he was about to undertake.
As he inhaled...
Just as he was about to absorb more spirit energy, suddenly...
The spirit energy dispersed with a whoosh.
It had stopped flowing.
Fang Che was taken aback, "What's going on? I've only been here for less than a quarter of an hour."
Wasn't it supposed to be an hour?
Just then, the door opened, and the instructor guarding the cultivation room called out, "Fang Che! Come out!"
