When the policy was released on March 10th, it instantly became a hot topic in society.
Fang ping did not spend too much time on this. It did not have much to do with him.
"Mcmau was already prepared to expand its enrollment.
……
Bay Garden.
In the villa area.
Fang ping had been busy with mcmau's matters for the past few days. Today, he had been called back by Fang Yuan.
It was already March 13th.
In the living room on the first floor.
"Brother, my vitality can't go up anymore. Can I break through and become a martial artist now?" Fang Yuan asked with a look of anticipation.
"What's your vitality? have you tested it?"
"I've checked. It's 182Cal,"
Fang Yuan pouted, feeling a little disappointed.
It had been more than a month since he had broken through to twice-honed, but he had only gained 2Cal of vitality.
"If it's so slow, there's no way he'll be able to thrice-hone.
At this point, it was useless to nurture qi and blood.
"182Cal, as expected."
Fang ping was not surprised. He could still think of ways to help his sister advance by using the resources to hone her bones twice.
However, three times was not a matter of money.
Chen Yunxi was favored, right?
In the end, her vitality was stuck at 199Cal and could not go up no matter what. She did not manage to achieve thrice-honing. No matter how poor Chen yaoting was, it was not to the point where he could not afford to raise his granddaughter.
Fang Yuan was stuck at 182Cal. Clearly, there was no room for further improvement.
A few more Cal would actually be useless.
"Are you familiar with your meridians?"
"Yes, I'm already familiar with it."
"Are you preparing to hone your upper or lower limbs?"
"Lower limb bone!"
"Lower limb bones, 62 bones. 62 minor vessels have been cleared. Next, start honing ..."
Fang ping said a few simple words, then said,"I won't stop you if you want to break through."
As Fang ping spoke, he paused and suddenly said sternly,"But once you become a martial artist, even if you're my sister, sometimes you'll still face some dangers, dangers that you have to bear!
Fang Yuan, are you ready for this?"
Fang Yuan quickly nodded. Her little round face also looked serious as she nodded. "I'm ready!"
Seeing her like this, Fang ping suddenly felt like laughing.
This girl was especially funny when she was serious. Fang ping could not help but pinch her cheek again.
Fang Yuan's face was full of displeasure. She said somewhat angrily,"Fang ping! Our teacher said that becoming a martial artist means a lot. The martial artists of our generation are the hope of humanity, the pillars of our country ... Don't pinch my face!"
Fang Yuan was huffing in anger. 'I'm about to become a martial artist, and you're still pinching me. Don't you want my face?'
Fang ping was overjoyed. He pinched her for a while more, then laughed."Your teacher is also a martial artist?"
"Yes, brother. Our school also has martial arts classes, and the teachers are rank-3 martial artists ... But they're not as good as you. Our teacher knows you too, he said you're amazing ..."
Fang Yuan's face was full of joy. When people complimented Fang ping, she also felt that she had gained a lot of face.
In mcmau's affiliated high school, most of the students had some sort of relationship with mcmau's teachers and students.
There were relatives of mentors, students, and even family members of some graduates.
When Fang Yuan entered the school, there was no need for her to hide her identity. Everyone knew that she was Fang Ping's sister. These few days, Fang Yuan had been doing well in school and had made many new friends.
Speaking of the school, Fang Yuan suddenly thought of something and immediately said,"Brother, don't bully teacher song in the future."
"Who is it?"
"Song ya's father." Fang Yuan pouted and said,"song ya said that you're always bullying her father, and you even made her father clean the toilets." Her father scolded you when he got home ..."
"Song yingji?"
Fang ping was dumbfounded. After a while, he laughed uncontrollably and said,"Old song, no way? "He's just a rank-6 martial artist, and he's actually complaining to his daughter when he gets back?"
He had only just found out that song yingji actually had a daughter, and that she was also in mcmau.
After laughing for a while, Fang ping did not know whether to laugh or cry."His daughter and your classmate?"
"Yes, they're all students from martial arts class."
Fang ping laughed again and explained,"Your brother didn't bully him. Her father is a rank-6. It's not my place to bully him. But ..."
Fang ping suddenly frowned and said,"take care of song ya more in the future."
"Ah?"
Fang ping shook his head and did not say anything.
Old song did not come back this time!
Previously, song yingji had entered the catacombs. However, during the catacombs 'turmoil this time, song yingji was not in Hope City. When they evacuated, he was nowhere to be seen.
"Rank-6 martial artists who enter the catacombs and want to break through will go a little further.
Song yingji wasn't the only one who hadn't returned. In fact, there were quite a number of people in the catacombs who hadn't returned yet. These people had gone far away, and no one knew where they were hiding.
As for whether he could return, no one knew.
Over at Magic City catacombs, one could only leave but not enter. There were many things that Fang ping was unable to receive information about.
He did not know if song yingji had reached Hope City. He could only hope that the fellow would return safely.
When martial artists entered the catacombs, accidents were everywhere. Life and death could be decided in an instant.
If song yingji still didn't return, then he would be in danger.
"Over at mcmau's side ... Quite a few of their loved ones have fallen.
Fang ping sighed softly. He pinched his sister's cheek again and said softly,"Girl, you have to know that after becoming a martial artist, you have to face many things, including battles, life and death battles ..."
"Yes, I know,"
Fang Yuan became obedient. She bit her lip and said,"I knew it on New Year's Day."
In the past, she had always felt that her big brother was very powerful and no one was his match.
Moreover, all she had seen before were sparring matches. In sparring matches, she had almost never seen anyone die. Fang ping was rarely injured either, at least that was what she saw.
However, she still knew that her brother was almost killed on New Year's Day.
"I actually hope that you'll be happy and carefree for the rest of your life, and that you'll be a little princess loved by thousands. However, no one could guarantee anything in the future.
Everything is fine as long as I'm alive.
One day ... At that time, since you're a martial artist, you'll have to bear the responsibility of a martial artist. No one can show favoritism for you. "
Fang ping said softly. As long as he was alive, it did not matter if Fang Yuan participated in the catacombs 'battle or not, unless she had reached rank-4. It was a compulsory rule.
"However, even if it's rank-4 ... There's actually a way to compromise.
A compulsory rank-4 mission would not be too difficult.
They either entered the catacombs to collect some materials, or helped defend the city, or killed some scattered monstrous beasts, or seized one or two martial artist medals.
"These things aren't actually that difficult. For martial artists with a background, their families will help them prepare. When they enter the catacombs, they just have to go through the motions.
The government didn't force this. Even if you didn't do the mission, your family would do it for you.
The task was fixed. You or your family would do it, and it would be done.
When Fang Yuan reached rank-4, Fang ping would help her complete all the missions without any difficulty.
What he was afraid of was that one day, he would die in the catacombs. At that time, Fang Yuan, who had no strength and had not experienced bloodshed, might be even more dangerous.
If he died, what would happen to his sister?
If she did not have the ability to complete that mission, she would be harming Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's eyes were red as she said,"brother, don't talk nonsense!" Besides, I'm also very powerful, okay? in the future, if anyone dares to come and find trouble with you, I'll help you!"
Fang ping could not help but chuckle,"alright, I'll stop talking." "Since you want to walk this path ... In fact, you have no choice but to walk it. In the end, it's better to have strength than not. Alright, then today, I'll help you break through and become an official martial artist!
A 16-year-old martial artist, our Gungun is a little genius!"
Fang Yuan was already 16 years old this year. She was no longer a child.
However, a 16-year-old martial artist was still a rare sight.
Under normal circumstances, it was best for a martial artist to break through at the age of 18.
At this time, the bone armor would have already grown and would not affect the subsequent cultivation.
Sixteen years old was a little too early. Some children of martial artists would not break through even if they entered the limit of aspiring martial artists at the age of sixteen. Instead, they would choose to cultivate other things, such as combat techniques and pole-standing.
However, Fang Yuan was different. This girl had Fang Ping's support. Using life essence to nourish her bones and bones was not something a Grandmaster's family could afford.
Grandmaster ... It also depended on whether one had the means to obtain this.
Hearing Fang ping praise her for being a genius, Fang Yuan's face lit up instantly. She said happily,"Brother, I knew it long ago!"
Fang Ping's brows twitched, feeling a little awkward. 'You already knew that I lied about your talent?
However, in the next moment, Fang ping knew that he had misunderstood.
Fang Yuan was all smiles."I'm actually quite talented. It's just that you're too amazing. Even our teacher said that you're the most talented martial artist in the world!
"My teacher said that it's already very good for me to be twice-honed. Even if I were to enter mcmau, I'd still be a genius martial artist.
At most ... I'll be a bit weaker than you. You can be the world's most talented fighter, and I'll be a bit weaker than you. It's fine. "
She did not know that Fang ping was bluffing her, but she was twice-honed, and many of her martial arts class classmates were extremely envious. They all said that she was talented.
This time, Fang Yuan was no longer pessimistic or self-abased.
In the past, when she was in Sun City, no one knew about it. She had come into contact with almost no martial artists, and the only one who knew about it, tan Zhenping, did not know much.
At that time, Fang Yuan still felt a little inferior.
Now, she knew that twice-honing was already very impressive.
Even though he was much weaker than Fang ping.
Fang ping coughed drily."Don't be too full of yourself. You have to look forward. As my sister, twice-honing is an embarrassment. Don't compare yourself to others, understand?
I'm the world's number one young man. Even if you don't say I'm number one, top 10 ... Top 100 ... Forget it, I should at least be in the top 1000, right?
"Twice-honed, there are already more than a hundred people in mcmau.
"This is just one school. If you include the other martial arts universities, there are probably more than a thousand twice-honed martial artists in the school.
"And that's only in China. All the other countries added together have more martial artists than us, and they have more people as well.
"There might be more than 10000 people who are around your age and in the same batch as you.
I'm number one in the world and you're number ten thousand. That doesn't make sense, does it?"
Fang Yuan nodded heavily. 'I won't take it for ten thousand!'
Fang ping laughed. This girl was still so easy to fool.
Without further ado, Fang ping stood up and said,"let's go. Get ready to break through!"
"I've already prepared it!"
Fang Yuan's face was full of excitement as she entered the cultivation room with Fang ping.
As for Fang Ping, he also took out rank-1 Vitality Pills, bone-honing pills, viscera-shielding pills, and a little bit of life essence.
He still took Fang Yuan's breakthrough very seriously.
"Breaking through rank-1 isn't too difficult. After going through 62 minor vessels, vitality can flow through the bones and bones, interacting with the inside and outside. It'll be enough if you can hone your bones.
Under normal circumstances, with the help of pills and a fourth-grade Dao protector, there would be no danger.
Fang Yuan was also twice-honed, so she was even safer.
……
In the cultivation room.
Fang Yuan started to circulate the methods of honing methodically. Very quickly, she began to expand her minor vessels.
62 minor vessels were rapidly broken through.
Fang Yuan took a rank-1 vitality pill along the way.
With sufficient vitality, he officially completed the upgrade after more than an hour.
"I've become a martial artist!"
After breaking through, Fang Yuan was very excited. She kept rubbing her dirty face against Fang Ping's body, her joy overflowing in her words.
Fang ping laughed as well, but it was a rather forced laugh.
Becoming a martial artist also meant that there was more danger.
It was a pity that he was not a rank-9 Paragon ... At this moment, Fang ping could empathize with the thoughts of those rank-9 Paragon powerhouses.
How many people could do it without caring about their family and children?
If they really didn't care, why would they continue to fight to the death for humanity?
People like Tian Mu were worthy of respect. Fang ping admired these people from the bottom of his heart. For the sake of humanity, for the sake of the race, they would not hesitate to sacrifice any number of things.
However, would Fang ping be able to sacrifice his family one day?
"Only when I'm stronger will my family be safer."
Fang ping muttered in his heart. Why did those rank-9 Paragon powerhouses enjoy some special privileges?
Why was it that in this era where all martial artists and middle-ranked martial artists had to enter the catacombs, he could let his family stay behind?
It was because they were powerful!
They were fighting on the front lines. In order to let them fight at ease, in order to let these people have the people and things to protect, the government gave them special privileges.
What was a few middle-ranked martial artists worth?
If a few middle-ranked martial artists were to cause these rank-9 paragons to be sad and in despair, to the point that they no longer felt the need to protect them, that would be a disaster for mankind.
Privileges did not come from nothing.
Even though he was thinking about it, Fang ping still cursed in his heart. It was understandable, but it did not mean that he was not envious, jealous, and hateful. 'It's a pity that I don't have a rank-9 Paragon ancestor.'
……
Fang ping did not publicize Fang Yuan's breakthrough. There was no need to.
The family had a quiet celebration dinner. Although Fang Yuan was happy, she did not get carried away.
Her elder brother was already at peak rank-5, while she had just entered rank-1. The little girl had no time to be proud of herself.
……
After resting at home for a day, Fang ping returned to mcmau on the 14th of March.
The moment he returned to mcmau, the school board sent him an appointment letter.
On the 18th of March, the youth team would be coming to mcmau for an exchange.
The appointment letter was delivered by the School Committee's director. Fang ping glanced at the letter and smiled."Do you know who they are? How many people are coming?"
"There are 16 people in total. The two grandmasters, Deputy Minister Wang of the Education Ministry and Vice President Liu of the China Martial Arts Association, are leading the team. The remaining 14 people are ten participants and four staff members."
"Two grandmasters are leading the team, and Minister Wang is a rank-8 ... It's not a small battle. Do you have any information on the team members?"
"Not at the moment."
"Did the teacher ask about the world youth martial arts competition?"
"There's such a competition, but it's not made public. It's only spread within the world Martial Arts Association."
"So you're here at mcmau mainly to compare notes on martial arts? Or do you have another purpose?"
The school administrative Director thought for a moment, then said,"the main purpose is to learn from each other. They probably want to see the combat power of our mcmau instructors. President Fang, the other party has made it clear that this time, it's mainly a rank-6 exchange. Which instructors do you think should be arranged to receive them?"
Fang ping chuckled."No wonder they look down on our students. So they're rank-6 ... 10 rank-6 martial artists under the age of 30. They're not weak, but that's about it."
"They're not as strong as he had expected. There are also 30-year-old rank-6 martial arts universities.
"Among the martial arts university graduates, there are also some who have achieved rank-6 before the age of 30.
Take the rank-5 martial artists who had graduated last year for example. They were only 23 or 24 years old last year. It was possible for them to achieve rank-6 before the age of 30.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Tell the deans to make the necessary preparations ..."
"The deans?"
The school office Director was stunned for a moment. The deans were all peak rank-6. If old man Li and Lu fengrou were included, there would be two grandmasters.
Fang ping laughed,"let's see their strength and their attitude before we make a decision."
If they came for an exchange, they would arrange for a teacher with the corresponding strength to receive them.
"If they have the intention to trample on mcmau, then let them know why the flowers are red.
"If he's deliberately looking for trouble ... If it's really according to my prediction, he's the grandson of a Big Shot. He won't be beaten to death, but he'll be seriously injured. It's inevitable to be injured in a martial competition.
It was up to them how they would deal with it.
"Mcmau is the number one elite school now. It's not easy to get this title. If they're stepped on, it'll be embarrassing.
"Ccmau has always been unconvinced. We can't give them a chance."
"It's a pity that mcmau doesn't have any Paragon powerhouses,"Fang ping suddenly sighed.
If they had a Paragon, that would be true confidence.
"For the next few days, the director and the other Deans can discuss the school's matters. I'll be going into closed-door cultivation."
The school office Director was stunned and whispered,""President Fang ... Is about to break through to rank-6?"
It was too F * cking terrifying!
Fang ping smiled and shook his head."It won't be that fast. I want to sort out my martial arts cultivation problems over the next few days and cultivate combat techniques. Then, I'll try to see if I can find the Sanjiao gate."
Finding it did not mean that he was a rank-6.
The Sanjiao gate was between reality and illusion. Once it was found, it had to be conjured to link up the energy. Only those who could seal it could be considered to have entered rank-6.
Before peak rank-6, most of his cultivation was focused on the Sanjiao gate.
"Hu!"
The school office Director heaved a sigh of relief. He was only an early-stage rank-6.
If Fang ping had entered rank-6, he would have wanted to jump off a building, even if he would not die from the fall.
"Of course. If there's any news about Magic City catacombs, you can let me know at any time," Fang ping said.
It had been a week since he left the catacombs.
There was still no news from the catacombs. Fang ping was a little worried. If he did not return soon, he was worried that something would happen to the catacombs.
"Alright, I'll send someone to inform you immediately if there's any news."
……
On the afternoon of March 14th, Fang ping began his closed-door training.
This time, he really had to sort out his own martial Dao path.
At this time, it had been less than two years since he had come into contact with martial arts. In two years, he had advanced one after another. Now, he was even starting to take steps toward rank-6. His speed was so fast that it could not be increased.
Such a fast cultivation speed had also caused Fang Ping's understanding of martial arts to be far less profound than others.
"Many people can already create combat techniques in the middle ranks, but he ... It's difficult to even improve an existing combat technique, let alone create one.
Fang ping was actually very weak in his control of vitality and strength.
Fang ping was not the only one who had this problem now. A few prodigy martial artists who had advanced too quickly more or less had the same problem.
When Qin Fengqing was rank-3, he could kill enemies above his level.
However, at rank-5, even if Qin Fengqing could defeat a middle-stage rank-5, let alone kill a rank-6, he would still be considered powerful.
If he were to encounter some experienced middle-stage rank-5, even if this fellow's celestial bridge became bald, he might not be a match for them.
Compared to Qin Fengqing, Wang Jinyang and the others were slightly better off.
"In truth, they've all stayed at rank-4 for quite a long time.
However, after reaching the fifth grade, the speed of their advancement had also increased. They probably did not have much time to accumulate.
As Fang ping began his closed-door training, the entire mcmau quieted down.
Everyone was working hard on their cultivation and seizing every opportunity.
"This year, the news about the catacombs has already been announced internally in mcmau.
Other than the few dozen students who had yet to enter rank-1 being excluded, the rest had started to learn about the catacombs. Even those few dozen people would probably all become martial artists by the end of the month.
