Chapter 352: I Told You That You Were The Weakest

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

December 18th.

CCMAU vs The First Military School.

This was the semifinals; the results would decide who would enter the finals.

As for the other six martial arts universities, their positions in the rankings were already decided, so there was no need for them to continue the competition.

Nine States Military School was placed at number five.

Sino Nation Martial Arts University had a tie with South Capital Martial Arts University, so they were at number six. In truth, the points of SCMAU and Sino Nation Martial Arts University were the same, but Sino Nation Martial Arts University was stronger than SCMAU. After the ranking was decided, SCMAU could choose to have a match with SNMAU, to decide who was number 6 and 7, but Liu Shijie’s wounds had already recovered, so SCMAU decided to give up.

South Capital Martial Arts University was ranked number seven.

Dongnan Martial Arts University was ranked number eight.

Taishan Martial Arts University was ranked number nine.

ESNNU at number ten.

The ranking was slightly different than what was predicted by others before.

The dark horse was definitely NMAU, as they made it all the way to the semifinals and was at least ranked number four.

The other university that surprised was Yunmeng Military School, which failed to enter the first ten.

In the Eight School Alliance, South Sino University of Science and Technology who was not weak was also eliminated and it made the people sigh.

Instead, it was ESNNU, whose strength was ordinary in the Eight School Alliance, which made it into the final ten, even though they were last.

…

After the last six rankings were announced, the Championship was coming to an end.

December 18th, Chen Yunxi arrived at CCMAU.

At the gym.

Chen Yunxi spoke excitedly, “Fang Ping, I’ve broken through!”

“Yup.”

Fang Ping leaned against the chair and said lazily, “Not bad, upper-stage Rank-3, and you did it faster than Zhao Lei; being the second martial arts university sophomore to enter upper-stage Rank-3, not bad at all.”

“I think I’m third?”

Chen Yunxi couldn’t stop herself from saying, Han Xu was faster than her.

“Don’t include me.”

Fang Ping said lazily, “Ever since I became president, I don’t feel as though I’m a student anymore.”

“Yeah, you are an exploiter!”

These words, of course, did not come from Chen Yunxi. Qin Fengqing snorted in disdain and looked to Chen Yunxi saying, “Yunxi, Fang Ping is rotten to the core, don’t waste your time on his nonsense, come here, sit with Senior Fengqing. Senior will give you some tips on the problems you faced during cultivation.”

Chen Yunxi glanced at him, not overtly rejecting him, but subconsciously moved away from him a little.

Qin Fengqing was speechless, and after he thought of something, smiled and said pleasantly, “Yunxi, I heard that you needed weapons? I don’t have anything good here, but coincidently I have this long sword that will suit you so well, I don’t want to take advantage of you so I’ll sell it to you for 80 million Yuan. There was someone who wanted it for a 100 million but I didn’t sell it to him then either.”

“Senior Qin, I don’t need weapons.”

Chen Yunxi rejected him by shaking her head.

Qin Fengqing was all flustered as he said, “Why don’t you need weapons? You are now still using a C-grade alloy. You will be a Rank-4 soon, it’s about time you prepare a B-grade sword to use then…”

“My grandfather has prepared one for me.”

Qing Fengqing choked and said, “I’m sure you lack pills, it just so happens that I have a few Rank-3 Vitality Pills lying around, I’ll sell it to you for 2 million each…”

Chen Yunxi’s face was gloomy. Did she really look like an idiot?

The university was selling it for 40 credits each, and now that credits were easy to earn, even if it’s valued at 1.2 million, if you deal with other people privately, you could even get one for a million.

Qin Fengqing was saying 2 million, was she that stupid?

“Senior Qin, I don’t need it.”

“Why don’t you need it? Junior Yunxi, about the 5 million that you owe me, do you still remember? I don’t need the money now, but close siblings should know how to calculate debts clearly…”

“Senior Qin!”

Chen Yunxi was not happy, her tone was annoyed as she said, “I do not owe you money!”

“Look at what you’re saying…”

Fang Ping, who was watching from the side yawned. Was Qin Fengqing insane?

Why would he want to extort money from Chen Yunxi out of nowhere?

Of course, Qin Fengqing wanted to extort money, she was rich!

He just heard from someone last night, that Chen Yunxi brought an energy stone the size of a chicken egg to school to cultivate. When cultivation ended today, she broke through to upper stage Rank-3, maybe she had not finished using the energy stone and there was still half left.

Now that was loaded!

Why would Qin Fengqing extort money out of this poor fool, he should look for someone rich like Chen Yunxi.

He also heard, Fang Ping had sold Chen Yunxi pills before this.

If Fang Ping could sell, then naturally he could sell too.

Worst comes to worst, he could just take a loan to buy some, after all, it was easy to earn credits now.

As Qin Fengqing was going on and on, Fang Ping saw that the two from CCMAU and First Military School were on stage, and was starting to lose his patience. ‘Do you think everyone is second-rate like you, and gullible at that?’

Seeing as he was still spouting nonsense, Fang Ping’s Mentality formed into a strand and headed towards the faraway Chen Yaoting to nudge him.

Chen Yaoting turned his head, his expression dark.

Fang Ping immediately gave him a flattering smile and pointed at Qin Fengqing.

Chen Yaoting watched and listened to what was going on, his face gradually growing darker by the minute.

Qin Fengqing was still trying to tout his own pills, all of a sudden all he could see was darkness and in the next moment, Qin Fengqing realized that he was not where he was before.

As to where he was, he still had not figured it out, it was pitch black all around him.

Fang Ping looked at Qin Fengqing who was buried up to his neck, took pleasure in his misfortune, and laughed and said, “Finally it became quiet.”

He did talk too much.

How could he sway others like this?

He was treating the others as idiots.

Tricking someone was a skill, how could it be easy, Qing Fengqing was too crude.

Chen Yunxi sighed in relief, and asked with a little embarrassment, “Is Senior Qin all right?”

“He’s alright, just let him rest awhile.”

Fang Ping did not really mind, and casually hit Qin Fengqing’s head which was still unburied, laughed and said, “The Mentality shield is not thick, he would be back to normal in half an hour.”

As they saw him hit Qin Fengqing’s head like he was hitting a watermelon, the people around them laughed. When Qin Fengqing recovered later he would definitely want revenge.

Fang Ping did not mind at all, what do these people know. Once he came out of the Mentality shield, Qin Fengqing would be light-headed, he would not know what was going on. If someone were to pee on his head right now, he would not even know who did it.

Ignoring Qin Fengqing, Fang Ping looked to Yao Chengjun and Li Hansong who were on stage, and muttered to himself, “These two just broke through last night, yet their presence has become much stronger. From now till the finals, looks like they are going to get stronger, breaking through to Rank-5 indeed made their strength increase manifold.

Zhang Yu and a few others looked on enviously, Rank-5, they also wanted that, but too bad it was still too early.

Chen Wenlong gave it some thought before asking, “Who do you think will win?”

“Probably Yao Chengjun.”

“Yao Chengjun?”

That threw the crowd off a little, Yao Chengjun was annihilated by Fang Ping yesterday and did not perform well at all.

On the other hand, even though Li Hansong lost to Wang Jinyang, he still managed to inflict severe wounds on Wang Jinyang.

Comparing the conditions of their injuries, Li Hansong may not be as severely injured as Wang Jinyang.

Only his skull was injured, and as his strongest point was broken, only then did he surrender, and not because he was weaker compared to Wang Jinyang.

Fang Ping nodded his head and said, “Even though Li Hansong’s skull was naturally made, his Vitality and physical body were strong, but when he broke through to Rank-5, his strength did not increase too obviously. Instead of looking at Yao Chengjun… after he broke through, his Mentality increased tremendously, I fear now he is not weaker than me anymore, in fact, he might be slightly stronger than me now.

“His increase in strength was slightly more obvious.

“If the two of them were equally matched from the start, then now Yao Chengjun would be taking the lead.

“That is why I think the chances of Yao Chengjun winning are slightly higher, but even so, after defeating Li Hansong, the chances of the First Military School winning are still not great. CCMAU is stronger as a whole, if Yao Chengjun could defeat him, his Mentality would have to be depleted first. He could get severely injured as well, he would be unable to defeat Qin Ze.”

Fang Ping assessed the situation, not without his own basis.

If Li Hansong’s Mentality was slightly stronger, even if he was barely showing it, he would still think that Li Hansong’s chances of winning were greater.

Li Hansong did not achieve this expectation, and that became his weakness.

In a situation where the two fighters had similar strengths, the chances of being defeated were high.

…

As Fang Ping was speaking, the two on the stage had already begun their fight.

It could not be helped, after breaking through to Rank-5, the momentum of their battle was much greater compared to yesterday.

Li Hansong’s golden body shone even brighter.

Fang Ping even suspected that if this guy had already reached Rank-6, maybe he could manifest a semi-golden body just like Old Man Li.

No, it would be one level higher!

His skull was even stronger!

Yao Chengjun’s Mentality was even stronger now, Fang Ping could feel the obvious fluctuation of his Mentality. It was weaker yesterday due to injuries, but now since he had recovered and had broken through, it looked like it was very effective for the restoration of his Mentality.

The reason Yao Chengjun chose to break through yesterday could also include thoughts for healing as well.

Moreover, as a Rank-5 powerhouse, these two would recover even faster. When the Five Celestial Bridges are connected to each other, the energy particles from the surroundings continuously surged towards the center of the battleground and were absorbed into the bodies of both of them.

Fang Ping frowned slightly, the speed of recovery for both of them was fast. One was using Mentality to increase the recovery speed, and the other who honed his skull also increased his recovery speed.

If he faced them later on, to fight them by gradually depleting their energy would be very ineffective against them.

While both of them battled, their momentum was massive, their skills diverse.

Even the sky was lit up half golden, the other half was transparent.

Aside from the battle stage in the gym, at the places where both of them went by, the ground was collapsing one after another.

Even as he watched the two of them bringing their fight closer towards him, Fang Ping turned to look at Qin Fengqing’s exposed head; if they were to fight any closer, would Qin Fengqing be the first casualty in the Championship?

One good thing about it was that this area was the spectators’ area. The Grandmasters made a Mentality shield around it, so the two of them did not continue to move towards them.

Energy crisscrossed across the gym, Vitality Force gathered densely all around.

Li Hansong, the embodiment of a golden God of War, fought with tremendous momentum and looked extremely fierce.

Yao Chengjun was not as dazzling, but he was calmer than he was yesterday. His Mentality was flowing fluidly, although the normal people would not notice this, Fang Ping could sense that Yao Chengjun had transformed his Mentality into a long spear, and constantly attacked Li Hansong’s head.

“He has indeed overtaken me, maybe he has achieved more than 700Hz… this guy, maybe it would be easier for him to break through to Grandmaster compared to Li Hansong.”

“But after becoming a Grandmaster, he will definitely be slower than Li Hansong. Li Hansong will enter the Golden Body State first.”

“Wang Jinyang is almost there as well, but he may not be as fast as Yao Chengjun to become a Grandmaster, but from Rank-7 to Rank-8, he may be faster, or maybe not, maybe it is easier to achieve Peak from Rank-8?”

Fang Ping guessed in his mind, it was hard to judge at this point in time.

As he was watching the match, Chen Haoran suddenly walked towards them. He saw that his sister was here and walked over to have a look.

When he saw there was no one beside Fang Ping, Chen Haoran immediately sat down, laughed as he said, “Fang Ping, these two are getting stronger, are you still confident?”

Fang Ping looked at him strangely. Chen Haoran did not look very comfortable, why was he looking at him like that?

When Fang Ping injured Liu Shijie, and he defeated Sino Nation Martial Arts University, he even had a good impression of Fang Ping, that was why he came over.

When he saw the way he was looking at him, it made Chen Haoran feel a little uncomfortable.

Fang Ping said wryly, “Do you feel something scraping against your foot?”

Chen Yunxi who was standing at the side was shocked, and at that moment with a long face said, “Brother, you are stepping on Senior Qin, he will definitely take revenge on you!”

Chen Haoran looked confused, he could not help but lower his head and look. After he saw that he was stepping on a few strands of hair, he murmured, “This… this is Qin Fengqing?”

Fang Ping and a few others nodded their heads and looked at him with pity.

You’ll be dead for sure!

Qin Fengqing was buried because of your grandfather. He did not dare to challenge a Grandmaster for revenge, and he was embarrassed to take revenge on Chen Yunxi, but when it came to him, Chen Haoran could only wait to die!

Of course, as everyone was upper-stage Rank-4, Chen Haoran might not be weaker than Qin Fengqing… but Fang Ping had more faith in Qin Fengqing, sooner or later Chen Haoran would be in real trouble.

In regards to hiding, Fang Ping would not help with anything. If it so happened that revenge would give Qin Fengqing something to do, he would cause a ruckus if he had nothing to do.

Chen Haoran sat as though he was sitting on pins and needles, and stood up immediately, started to say something but, in the end, said nothing, turned and left.

His grandfather did not allow him to associate with people from MCMAU, saying that he was not someone who could fight MCMAU. He thought that since his little sister was here, he did not think too much about it.

Now that he thought about it, he really should not have come.

People from MCMAU was so wretched, Qin Fengqing actually buried himself in the ground to fool people!

…

Fang Ping could not care about Qin Fengqing being stepped on anymore.

Inside the gym, it was almost time to decide who would win the battle!

Yao Chengjun looked extremely miserable. As his physical body was not as strong as Li Hansong, and he fought Li Hansong head-on many times, his arms were already bleeding and cut up, his blood was dripping nonstop onto the floor.

From the outside, Yao Chengjun looked more miserable, Li Hansong, on the other hand, looked better.

However, the golden light around Li Hansong’s head had dimmed quite a bit and was not as bright as it was.

Both of them were gasping for breath, but in the next moment, both moved at the same time!

Yao Chengjun’s Mentality exploded to the highest possible level in a split second, and his spear came towards Li Hansong.

As Li Hansong has already been attacked many times, he could not stand it anymore, his body shook slightly, and at that moment he hesitated.

At that moment, Yao Chengjun let out a yell, and a spear pierced through his abdomen!

With that attack, Li Hansong came to his senses. He yelled out in anger and punched a golden fist towards Yao Chengjun which sent him flying.

Yao Chengjun fell to the ground and struggled to get back up again.

Li Hansong was not faring too well, Yao Chengjun sent a spear through his abdomen, and a huge amount of Vitality Force was released in his body. This made the newly formed circular Celestial Bridge from yesterday likely to shatter. If it did, he might drop his rank.

Breaking through to Rank-5 for the second time would not be easy.

Feeling a little helpless, Li Hansong grunted and said, “Surrender!”

Once he surrendered, Yao Chengjun also released a breath, his legs turning to jelly.

When Qin Ze advanced towards him, Yao Chengjun swallowed a few pills and strained to fight a battle with Qin Ze. At that moment, his Mentality was depleted. He had lost his greatest advantage, and he had suffered significant injuries, in the end, he barely managed to tie with Qin Ze.

This was already beyond the expectation of the First Military School.

The people from CCMAU went completely silent.

Were they supposed to lose to the First Military School, and then battle with NMAU to fight for third and fourth place?

NMAU losing to MCMAU would be a guarantee, even if Wang Jinyang won against Fang Ping.

CCMAU fighting for the third and fourth place would be such an embarrassment!

The only good thing about this was the third person from CCMAU would not continue to embarrass CCMAU. After defeating Bai Xu, he also defeated the opposition’s only upper-stage Rank-4 martial artist. Only then did he leave the battle due to his injuries.

Two against two, CCMAU’s two upper-stage Rank-4 martial artists against the opposition’s two middle-stage Rank-4 martial artists.

When they reached this point, everyone knew what the result would be like.

Everyone was a genius, the two from the First Military School might be able to defeat an upper-stage Rank-4 martial artist from the outside, but the prodigies of CCMAU would not be that easy to surpass.

The results were within expectations. Only with the outburst from the two of them did they managed to defeat the fourth person from CCMAU.

When the fifth person went on the battle stage, the person from the First Military School did not even have the strength to make his move.

“Capital City Martial Arts University wins!”

When the voice of the referee rang out, Fang Ping heard many sighs of relief.

The students from CCMAU were finally relieved.

Almost, they were almost defeated!

It was the same yesterday and today as well!

Li Hansong who was the God of War in his school lost every battle that he fought!

He lost to Wang Jinyang, and he lost to Yao Chengjun, if he battled with Fang Ping in the finals, and lost to Fang Ping…

No, Fang Ping defeated Yao Chengjun, to a lot of people, Li Hansong was nothing like Fang Ping.

The Four Prodigies, from today, looked as though Li Hansong was the weakest, and previously the people from CCMAU always felt as though Li Hansong was the strongest!

From the results of the battle, now Li Hansong was at the bottom and Yao Chengjun was slightly higher. Wang Jinyang was stronger than Yao Chengjun because yesterday Wang Jinyang penetrated through three Peak Rank-4 martial artists.

Between Fang Ping and Wang Jinyang, it was not easy to judge now, but Wang Jinyang had severe injuries even though he defeated Li Hansong. Fang Ping, on the other hand, defeated Yao Chengjun with minimal injuries.

…

In the stands.

Fang Ping laughed and said, “I’ve said before that Li Hansong was the weakest, he did not believe me, and even argued with me, does he believe it now? But… when he reaches Peak Rank-6, and his Mentality can be outwardly emitted, others may not be like him.”

Fang Ping could see this point; the other powerhouses also knew this.

For the things of the future, that was in the future.

For now, the fact that Li Hansong being defeated by others is the undisputed truth.

The few Grandmasters from CCMAU all looked a little helpless.

Even if CCMAU won in the end, even if they got first place, it would still be unconvincing.

Li Hansong who was Rank-5, defeating Fang Ping who was Rank-4 was nothing to be proud about.

Of course, it was true that CCMAU was strong, but the outside world may not see it that way. According to many people, in the Championship, CCMAU fought a terrible battle.

Instead, it was MCMAU, who easily defeated the First Military School.

If… the Rank-5 Li Hansong lost to Fang Ping…

Forget it, the Grandmasters of CCMAU dared not think anymore. At that moment, even if CCMAU were to hail themselves as number one, who would believe them!

Facing MCMAU, in the fights from Rank-1 to Rank-5, they had been defeated all the way. So what if you had more Grandmasters compared to MCMAU?

As CCMAU was in a bind, Huang Jing was in a good mood.

When he saw the saber at Fang Ping’s waist, and he remembered the news from the school yesterday, Huang Jing’s smile slowly faded.

Li Changsheng went to Nanjiang!

…

“Let’s go, tomorrow’s battle is against NMAU, day after tomorrow is against CCMAU. Once the first place is in our hands, we will celebrate back in school, then it’s time to wait for the New Year…”

Fang Ping said happily, looking extremely confident.

The others also looked very optimistic, standing up and left one after another.

After walking a distance, Chen Yunxi thought of something and said awkwardly, “Senior Qin is still there.”

Fang Ping slowed down his steps, at that moment, everyone heard an angry growl from behind them.

“Who is the bastard who sneaked up on me, I’m going to crush you!”

Qin Fengqing was going to go mad with anger. The half an hour spent in that dark space was so scary that he thought he was going to suffocate to death.

Of course, he might know that it was something the Grandmasters did.

However, this anger was too hard to hold back!

When had Qin Fengqing ever been this miserable? As he thought back to before, when he was in the Catacombs, he was robbing from the Rank-7s, and running from the Rank-8s!

Qin Fengqing was not stupid, he headed straight toward Huang Jing after yelling. He should have some support first.

Seeing him still lively and well, Fang Ping was too lazy to care, laughed and said, “Let’s go, just ignore him.”
