Chapter 65: Sect Leader, I Want to Fight, Please Approve.
Fang Qingyun could be described as having become rich overnight! White Cloud Academy had a rule: after the freshman period, once the students' cultivation and other aspects stabilized, a grade ranking would be conducted.
This ranking would stabilize after three assessments.
Subsequently, rewards and punishments would be administered based on this ranking.
For those at the bottom of the rankings, if they could advance by one place, they would be rewarded with one merit point.
Because by that time, everyone's cultivation would be relatively fixed, and everyone would put in the same amount of effort, making it unlikely to surpass those ahead of them.
However, this time, Fang Qingyun broke all expectations! He directly shattered the odds, becoming a dark horse!
Fang Qingyun, originally ranked at the very bottom of the second-year students in White Cloud Academy.
Out of 7,500 students, he was ranked 7,476th.
A Peak Martial Instructor.
If he couldn't break through to the Martial Master realm within two months, he would face retention or expulsion.
It could be said that he was on the verge of elimination.
Although the instructors liked this honest and kind-hearted child, they couldn't go against the Academy's principles and could only secretly lament in their hearts.
But this time, all the instructors widened their eyes in shock, their jaws dropping in disbelief.
It was said that even the Chancellor and Deputy Chancellor were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out.
Deputy Chancellor Huang Yifan blurted out, "Oh my god!"
The reason was simple.
This time, Fang Qingyun's progress could be said to have shaken the entire martial world and made him famous throughout the land.
His improvement was so... so... so incredible!
He had broken through to the Martial Master realm!
Moreover, his understanding of martial techniques, combat power, weapons, and fighting styles had all taken a huge leap forward.
All these improvements combined to create an unprecedented advancement in White Cloud Academy: he soared from 7,476th place, advancing rapidly, and miraculously reached 2,999th place, leaving everyone feeling like they were in a dream!
Is 2,999th place high?
Not at all.
But to advance by over 4,400 places in one go was truly shocking! All the students in the Academy had red eyes—when many had gone bankrupt, they found out that someone had gained several thousand merit points in an instant! The imbalance in their hearts was indescribable!
The Merit Points Reward Office was even more stunned.
How could this be explained?
One point for each rank, so 4,477 places meant 4,477 points!
Since the establishment of White Cloud Academy, no student had ever earned so many merit points!
No matter how talented, hardworking, well-connected, or exceptional they were, no one had ever achieved this!
This matter of 4,477 points shook the entire White Cloud Academy.
"What should we do?!"
The teacher at the Merit Points Reward Office almost had a breakdown and immediately reported to the Chancellor.
Should these merit points be awarded?
If they were, Fang Qingyun could lie back and relax in the Academy.
The Academy's decision: award the points!
However, Fang Qingyun made a decision: too many merit points would not be conducive to his progress.
So he proactively sought out an instructor and used 300 merit points to purchase a large number of Grandmaster-level pills, keeping a small portion for himself and giving the rest to his family—this was the maximum support a student could provide to their clan! With 400 merit points, he exchanged two high-level combat techniques.
He spent 200 merit points to ask the instructor for a high-level mental technique most suitable for his constitution.
Another 200 merit points were used to obtain an ultra-quality longsword.
He kept the remaining 200 merit points for himself.
Then... he gave the remaining 3,000+ merit points to the instructor, treating the entire White Cloud Academy's teachers, students, and staff to a meal.
A meal for over 60,000 people!
That morning, everyone in the Academy ate for free!
It was clearly written: Fang Qingyun treats everyone!
He created a historical record, a historic moment!
"Treating 60,000 people to a meal... what a spectacular scene!"
Fang Che was impressed when he heard this news.
It must be said that his cousin, although simple and honest, was a man of great character, with a generous and noble spirit.
Fang Qingyun's merit points naturally weren't enough to treat the entire Academy, but the Academy made up for the shortfall.
On this day, Fang Qingyun's fame surpassed everyone, making him the most dazzling presence!
In the afternoon, Fang Qingyun was taken for a re-assessment of his talent. After the test, Fang Qingyun's four instructors were scolded by the Academy's higher-ups until they were drenched in a shower of curses.
"You four idiots treated him as a Second-grade talent for over a year?!" Chancellor Gao Qingyu thundered, pointing at the 'Second-grade' written on Fang Qingyun's file.
The Chancellor was truly furious!
The difference between a Heaven-grade and Second-grade talent was too vast! How could such an oversight occur? It was unforgivable!
The four instructors hung their heads in shame and confusion.
How could this be? They were so thoroughly scolded that they couldn't even find a reason to defend themselves!
In the end, Fang Qingyun confessed that he had found and consumed a fruit while on a mission to search for heavenly materials and treasures, and since then, he had felt different day by day...
This cleared the four instructors of their unjust accusation.
But they immediately became interested in the fruit Fang Qingyun had found. After careful reasoning, they concluded that it should be a Heavenly Vein Fruit!
While marveling at Fang Qingyun's luck, this fruit they had found, the storm finally subsided.
Fang Qingyun had now become a key student of interest, walking with his head held high, and joining the ranks of the prodigies.
Several instructors all liked Fang Qingyun's temperament, but they also felt a sense of melancholy.
Because... he was too pure, too honest, and too much of a gentleman...
"I never thought I'd be troubled by having a student with too many strengths..." one instructor lamented.
The other instructors simultaneously smiled bitterly, nodding in agreement.
Indeed, Fang Qingyun was kind and honest, a gentleman. If he followed his original talent and pursued a conventional path, becoming the head of a prestigious family in Green Wave City, he would undoubtedly be capable and trustworthy.
However, with Fang Qingyun's current display of genius, his future destination would certainly not be Green Wave City.
As his cultivation increased, the dangers he encountered would also multiply. Therefore, his pure and gentlemanly nature became a disadvantage, making him prone to being taken advantage of.
"From now on, I must focus on navigating the treacherous world of the martial arts."
The four instructors unanimously decided.
After regaining his freedom, Fang Qingyun immediately sought out Fang Che and pulled him aside.
"What's up?" Fang Che asked.
Fang Qingyun stared at Fang Che with fixed eyes, and after a long while, he spoke softly, "Cousin. Thank you!"
A hint of a smile appeared on Fang Che's lips.
He knew that Fang Qingyun had understood everything but chose not to speak.
He only wanted to avoid causing trouble for himself.
Fang Che smiled and said, "You said... we're family, right?"
Fang Qingyun was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, hugging Fang Che's shoulder, and said, "I've never been as happy as I am today!"
Fang Che teased, "Is it because you're no longer the 7476th?"
"You and your big mouth!"
The cousins laughed together.
Fang Qingyun soon left.
He only expressed his gratitude once, and it wasn't particularly enthusiastic.
It seemed like he was merely notifying Fang Che: I know.
But Fang Che felt that was enough!
More than enough! Everything was implied.
...
The news spread by Night Dream had already drawn attention.
Sun Yuan going to headquarters? Divine Power Infusion? The master's good fortune? Second generation? Successful advancement? The master as a backer?
These keywords also caught the attention of the upper echelons.
And because of specific instructions, this news even reached the hands of Dongfang Sansan, all the way to the top.
Attached to the message was a segment of Fang Che's original words.
Dongfang Sansan stared at this passage, reading it for a long time.
"Why is Sun Yuan, a King Rank, going to headquarters? Why is it good fortune? Why can Fang Che become the second generation? That's only possible if Sun Yuan is the first generation, allowing for Fang Che to be the second."
"What is Only Me Religion up to? Divine Power Infusion?"
Dongfang Sansan didn't understand, but he had a hunch that this was important.
"Investigate New Chu's news at all costs. Get intelligence from Black Turtle City, no matter the cost!"
But Black Turtle City was already under strict lockdown, making it impossible to gather any information.
The Only Me Religion was up to something big, but not a single piece of news leaked out.
Just as they started to take action, a God-level master from the Only Me Religion suppressed the entire city with Divine Sense.
"What kind of activity is this?"
Dongfang Sansan pondered, and slowly, his eyes lit up, "Could it be... there really is a God? If so, our plans must change."
...
On Fang Che's side, things were much simpler.
He had sent out the message, not entirely, but it was enough to alert the upper echelons of the Guardians.
Over time, they might investigate or deduce the truth.
If not, he would find a way in the future.
So, he wasn't anxious about this matter.
But he was anxious about something else.
The recent days had been too comfortable, and the event he had been waiting for hadn't occurred.
I killed Ximen Xuri, a seed of the Divine God Sect, and disrupted their significant plot.
Why hasn't the Divine God Sect sent assassins after me? They should at least make a move, and I'm not even staying within the Martial Arts Academy.
It's so convenient to strike outside.
Are you still a Demon Sect? Are you just going to endure it silently?
The Divine God Sect took no action, but Fang Che's cultivation advanced to Martial Master Eighth Rank.
He was about to break through to the Small Grandmaster level.
His combat power was also soaring.
And as he comprehended the essence of blades, spears, and halberds, Fang Che could clearly sense his strength doubling almost daily.
Damn it...
Fang Che couldn't hold back any longer.
The Martial Arts Academy had a rule: new students could only study for the first six months and weren't qualified for even low-level tasks like gathering spiritual herbs.
Not to mention other tasks.
So, if Fang Che didn't stir up some trouble, he'd have to endure six months of doing nothing.
Fang Che couldn't bear it.
If he didn't cause trouble and just quietly attended classes, what value would he have? He decided to take action.
If the Divine God Sect won't come after me, can't I go after the Three Saints Sect?
But he knew one thing: crying children get milk.
So, he communicated with the Five Spirit Gu, activated the Communication Jade, and sent a message to the Seal God Palace.
"Master, I want to strike the Three Saints Sect's seed, Hu Churuan! Please approve!"
