18th of March.
In the morning.
At the entrance of mcmau's great Hall.
Old man Li darted a look at Fang ping. After a while, he said, "Aren't you in closed-door cultivation?"
So, you've only been in closed-door cultivation for a few days?
On the 14th, you wanted to go into closed-door cultivation, but you came out yesterday. You call this closed-door cultivation?
Fang ping chuckled,"instructor, powerhouses don't come out of seclusion."
Old man Li was speechless. He thought for a while before saying, "Don't cause any trouble!"
"Why would teacher have such an idea?" Fang ping was shocked.
Old man Li sighed and said somewhat desolatedly,"Kid, the ancestor is powerful. He can kill me with one breath. I can't handle it. Do you understand?"
Fang ping raised his eyebrows but did not reply. Instead, he asked doubtfully,"So exaggerated?"
I can blow you to death with one breath?
Old man Li was not the kind of person to be humble.
"What do you think?"
"Do you think that Alliance master Zhao xingwu can kill me in one move?" old man Li helped to explain.
Fang ping thought for a moment and said,"not necessarily. Maybe three to five moves?"
Old man Li could not help but laugh."That's about right. Alliance master Zhao is ranked 48th among rank-9. Let's talk about Minister Nan. Do you think she can kill me in one move?"
"That ... Should be about the same."
"And if she encounters a rank-9 Paragon, she probably won't last more than ten moves."
"It's that terrifying?"
"It's that terrifying!"
Old man Li nodded and said sternly,"of course, I've never seen a Paragon in action before. I've only heard about it from others." "But that old fellow Wu Chuan once said that there's a huge gap between us ..."
"Guardian Wu ... I feel like I've embarrassed the four great guardians." Fang ping mumbled in a low voice.
Four guardians, two top-tier powerhouses, and one powerhouse who was ranked 18th in the world. When it came to Wu Chuan, he had almost dropped out of the 100th place.
As soon as he said this, the few people around him looked at him strangely.
"Boy, you dare to look down on a level nine expert?"
It's a good thing that Wu Chuan isn't here. Otherwise, he could kill you with a single slap.
Old man Li also glared at him unhappily. He said,"Wu Chuan is considered young among the rank-9S. He still has great potential. "Moreover, the magic weapon he's using isn't that great. It's only a rank-8 weapon, so it's a little weak. Most of the other weapons that are ranked higher than him have rank-9 magic weapons."
Luo Yichuan and the others felt a little uneasy when they heard this.
Old man Li's ego was inflated too!
In his words, an eighth-grade magic weapon was nothing much!
Do you?
Not everyone had a level nine expert.
Old man Li was not too concerned about what he had said. He continued,"Also, don't go and provoke Wu Chuan, kid. He's the only rank-9 Grandmaster in mcmau after so many years.
The fact that mcmau could develop to this stage was also related to some of his support.
"Ever since he became The Guardian of the South, the relationship between the house of the South and mcmau has been very close. Mcmau only has enough confidence when one of the four houses of the South supports it. Do you understand?"
"Understood. Our biggest backer is Guardian Wu, right?"
Old man Li laughed."You can't say that. The Education Ministry still supports us. No matter how fierce the competition between martial arts universities is, it's an internal matter. To the outside world, our martial arts universities are still one. We're all under the Education Ministry.
"Against ccmau and the other schools, the house of guardians in the South is one of our trump cards.
However, for other departments or sects, the Ministry of Education is our biggest backer. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Fang ping nodded. This was not strange. It was normal to have many mountains.
After a few simple words, old man Li returned to the main topic, "Let's not talk about this. What I'm saying is that you don't cause me any trouble, do you understand?"
Fang Ping's expression was one of helplessness. 'That's strange, I didn't say I'm looking for trouble!'
'Besides, their ancestor is so powerful, why would I look for trouble with him?'
"Instructor, I'm here to receive the exchange group. As the president of the martial arts Society, this is basic etiquette, right?"
Old man Li shot him a glance and did not say anything else.
"They're here,"old man Li said after a while.
In front of them, a bus had already entered the school and was slowly driving over.
……
On the bus.
The exchange group had arrived in Magic City the day before. They had rested for a day and only arrived at mcmau today.
Jiang Chao looked around through the window and said indifferently,""Mcmau's not lively enough. I don't see many people. "
"Martial arts universities don't need to be so lively," Minister Wang chuckled.
"Oh?" Jiang Chao didn't say much and said,"so we're here to challenge him directly?"
"There's no rush. Let's take a look around mcmau first. "
Minister Wang laughed."You guys have never been to a martial arts university. Although mcmau was not established as long as ccmau, it has developed very quickly in recent years. It also has its own unique points. Everyone should interact more with your peers."
Just as he finished speaking, someone in the car suddenly frowned and said,""So weak ... Only rank-1. Isn't mcmau the top school?"
At this moment, a few students were passing by the bus.
Sensing the vitality strength of these students, someone couldn't help but comment.
Rank-1!
To them, it seemed to be something very far away.
Among these people, some had broken through early, entering the martial artist realm at the age of eleven or twelve, and some had entered the middle-ranks at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
Now, these people were not even 30 years old. The older ones were 27 or 28 years old, while the younger ones, like su Zisu, were only 24 years old.
Although they were a few years older than mcmau's students, there was still a world of difference between rank-1 and rank-6.
Minister Wang smiled faintly."After all, mcmau is only a school for students from all over the country. Most of the students are not martial artists when they enter the school. This is different from everyone else. It's normal for them to be rank-1 students."
Do you think everyone is like you?
The essence of life that even grandmasters regarded as a treasure was being used to store bones?
Not everyone understood this. Su Zisu said,""Some people from the martial arts universities are still very powerful. I heard that Fang ping was not a martial artist two years ago, but he's already broken through to peak rank-5 now. Uncle Wang, is that true?"
"Indeed,"
Minister Wang laughed."It's not just Fang ping. The other people from the martial arts universities are also doing well. Nmau's Wang Jinyang only took three years to go from an aspiring martial artist to rank-5.
Li Hansong. It took him four years, but he was already a rank-1 when he entered the school.
Yao Chengjun is about the same ..."
With that said, the young men in the carriage were not too arrogant.
"He achieved rank-5 in three to four years. He's not as weak as you think.
Jiang Chao calculated and suddenly said,""Peak rank-5 in two years, how did this guy do it? "I started practicing martial arts when I was 10, entered rank-1 when I was 14, and rank-4 when I was 18.
"Rank-5 at 20 years old. By peak rank-5, I'm 22 years old. Now, I'm 26 ..."
"These people are able to stand out among so many people in China," said Minister Wang with a smile. "They naturally have their own outstanding qualities. "Besides, martial arts university students are all in their golden training period. It's normal for them to break through faster."
Although Minister Wang said that, he was thinking that it was not normal.
Not everyone is like this. Don't use the minority to represent the majority.
In less than two years, Fang ping had gone from an aspiring martial artist to a peak rank-5 martial artist. He had broken many records.
Even Jiang Chao and the others, although they were young and had extremely high realms, it didn't mean that they could really break through in a short time.
They had been in contact with martial arts for a long time and had been practicing martial arts since they were young.
As for injuries to the body and bones, they didn't have any concerns.
Unlike other people who had to consider these when they were young, they did not dare to cultivate too much.
After saying a few words, Jiang Chao looked out of the window and asked,""Minister Wang, is Fang ping in front?"
Minister Wang didn't even need to stick his head out to look. He smiled and said,""Yes, he's the youngest one."
"It's him! He doesn't look that good. "
Jiang Chao said casually. Li Fei frowned and said,""Look at yourself first. Besides, martial artists don't care about looks!"
This guy's considerations were very different from everyone else 's. Who would look at martial artists, especially male martial artists, first consider the problem of appearance?
Su Zisu peeked in as well. Seeing Fang ping in the crowd, she chuckled. "He's alright. He's quite handsome, but ... He's different from what I imagined. I thought he was a cool and handsome man like Zheng nanqi."
At this moment, Fang ping, who was in the crowd, was full of smiles. Seeing that someone was observing him on the bus that was driving toward him, he nodded with a smile.
He smiled radiantly, but old man Li, who was beside him, gave him a light kick!
This kid's smile ... Was usually not a good thing.
It was a good thing that he was not polite to others.
Fang ping did not change his expression. He continued to smile and said in a low voice,"Instructor, why did you kick me? show off mcmau's demeanor and smile at me."
Old man Li snorted and did not speak.
When the car stopped, old man Li led his men forward this time. He smiled and said,"Minister Wang, Chairman Liu, welcome to mcmau for an exchange ..."
"Changsheng, you're welcome."
"Dean Lu isn't in school?" Minister Wang got out of the car and smiled.
"Yes, but he's still consolidating his cultivation."
"Then please help me congratulate him. He has finally broken through."
"I'll definitely bring it ..."
“……”
A few grandmasters laughed and conversed with each other. After a while, Minister Wang turned his head and said,""This is Dean li from mcmau's school of weaponry. This is Dean Luo from the school of battle finger ..."
After introducing everyone to each other, Minister Wang smiled when he saw Fang ping."I won't introduce you young people to each other. "How about this, I'll have a chat with Dean li and the others about the exchange. Fang ping, you take them on a tour of mcmau.
We're all young people, I think we have something in common. "
Fang ping saw that the young men and women opposite him were sizing him up. He said with a kind face,"Alright, department head. Please continue chatting. I'll show you around."
"Yes, we'll go in first."
……
After Minister Wang and the others left, Fang ping chuckled."Hello everyone, let me introduce myself ..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Chao interrupted,""You're Fang ping?"
"Yes, I wonder how I should address you, senior brother?"
"Jiang Chao, middle-stage rank-6."
"Su Zisu, early-stage rank-6."
"Li Fei, upper-stage rank-6."
“……”
"Zheng nanqi, upper-stage rank-6."
“……”
There were a total of 10 young men and women present, 7 men and 3 women.
Among them, there were 5 early-stage rank-6s, 3 middle-stage rank-6s, and 2 upper-stage rank-6s.
This strength ... It seemed impressive, but in reality, Fang ping did not really care.
He had thought that there were peak rank-6 existences, but in the end, there were none.
"On the other hand, before a martial artist has reached peak rank-6, in other stages of rank-6, it's actually very difficult for them to go all out and utilize all their strength in order to seal the Sanjiao gate.
He was still a little afraid of peak-stage martial artists.
However, the strongest was only upper-stage rank-6. This was not much.
When they were done with their introductions, Fang ping still did one."Fang ping, peak rank-5."
When young martial artists met, they would introduce their strength to each other. It was not considered showing off.
After the introduction, su Zisu asked curiously,""Fang ping, did you really just start practicing martial arts the year before last?"
"Yes."
"You've killed a peak rank-6 martial artist before?"
Fang ping quickly denied,"how could that be? I'm no match for a peak rank-6. Of course, the other party did die by my hands. It should be because the evil sect martial artist was too weak. He was probably a fake peak, or he was injured before the fight."
"I see."
These people heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Jiang Chao chuckled."I knew it. But it's not bad. Even if that guy was injured, you were still able to kill him. You're still pretty strong."
Fang ping laughed."I can't compare to my senior brothers and sisters. You're all rank-6. Grandmasters are within sight. I'm still far away. Senior brothers and sisters, I'll show everyone around. "
Everyone nodded slightly. Fang ping walked in front, smiling as he walked. "I'll bring everyone to the southern area first. That's where mcmau's essence is. Mcmau's energy room and vitality pool are famous in the country ..."
As he said this, Fang ping revealed a proud expression. As he spoke, he turned to look at the crowd and said,"Senior brothers and sisters, have you cultivated in these facilities?"
This guy's expression was as if he had never seen these facilities before, which made them frown slightly.
In the crowd, a woman couldn't help but say,""Energy room? Are you talking about those cultivation rooms that burn energy stones?"
"Right, Senior Sister Liu also knows about it?"
The woman who was called Senior Sister Liu pouted and said,""I've seen it a few times. It burns some low-grade energy stones to assist cultivation, and there are many impurities in the energy.
"We don't even use this. We have a martial arts Tower over there. The martial arts Tower is built with rank-9 energy stones."
"A rank-9 energy stone?"
Fang ping raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised,"energy stones are divided into grades?"
"Of course!" The woman surnamed Liu said matter-of-factly.
"Those with energy purity less than 10% are raw ores. A 10% to 19% was rank-1, and so on. A 90% to 99% was rank-9.
Actually, there's still one with 100% purity, but it's very rare. Those are the best. "
As the woman named Liu spoke, another person in the crowd laughed and said,"Martial arts universities don't have a lot of energy stones, and very few people sell them outside. That's why they usually don't differentiate the quality, so it's normal that they don't know."
Fang Ping's expression did not change. He continued to smile."So there's such a saying, I've learned something new. "Senior Sister Liu said that you have a martial arts Tower built with all rank-9 energy stones?"
"Then how many rank-9 energy stones would there be? at least a few thousand catties, right?" Fang ping said with an envious look.
The woman surnamed Liu glanced at him. This time, she really wanted to laugh at him.
However, he was still a rank-6 martial artist, so he did not show it. He smiled faintly and said,"A building that weighs a few thousand Jin? It was moved back from the Royal Sea Mountain by our ancestors and excavated several ore veins. No matter how light it is, it should be at least tens of thousands of Jin. "
"So many!"
Fang Ping's face was full of shock. He was really shocked!
He didn't disguise himself this time. F * ck, these people are really rich!
In the past, he used grams to measure energy stones. Later on, he used catties and felt that it was very, very impressive. Even grandmasters were not as wealthy as him.
And now?
Right now, they have a building over there that is built with cultivation-aiding energy stones!
Using ten thousand Jin as a unit ... Let's just say tons.
He had put his life on the line and risked his life in the underground of the royal city. He had dug a few times, but he had not dug up many cultivation-aiding energy stones, which were rank-9 energy stones as they had said.
But now?
They've already started dividing the grades!
"There's really no need for martial arts universities to not differentiate between grades. There's too little, and there's no point in doing so.
The common people didn't know how to divide it into grades. Most people hadn't even seen it before, so what was the point of dividing it into grades?
Fang ping said enviously,"I really want to go and take a look. I wonder if you'll allow me to visit your place, Senior Sister Liu?" Is it far from here ..."
"Outsiders are not allowed to enter that place. Besides, you can't go in either. The few ancestors have sealed that place."
"Is that so? I thought I'd have a chance to visit it."
Seeing the envy and shock on Fang Ping's face, a few people in the crowd smiled. 'Do you really think we're country bumpkins who have never seen good things?'
Energy room, vitality pool?
I'm afraid you're the only one who treats it as a treasure.
Fang ping did not seem to give up. He continued,"If that's the case, I'll show everyone our storage warehouse. There's a rank-7 beast's corpse there, ready to be used to forge a divine weapon. It's a rare treasure ..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Chao, who was at the side, yawned and said,""Oh, a divine weapon? You mean this?"
As he spoke, Jiang Chao casually kicked his boots and shook his head.""Before reaching rank-7, a divine weapon can only be used as a normal weapon. It's not very useful. "When we went out, each of us brought a divine weapon. This pair of boots is a seventh-grade divine weapon, and a middle-stage one.
However, it's only slightly better than A grade alloy boots. The difference isn't that big. "
"All of you ... All of you have divine weapons?" Fang ping asked, his face full of shock.
Su Zisu giggled."Yes, but pudgy Jiang's right. It's not really that useful. It's just slightly better than an A-Class alloy weapon. But we don't have the mentality-vitality fusion, so we can't nurture it ..."
She was still talking, but Fang ping lowered his head, as if he was looking at Jiang Chao's boots.
At this moment, no one noticed that Fang Ping's eyes had turned red!
'F * ck, 10 divine weapons!
The 10 people in front of him were not humans, but moving mountains of gold.
If they were not stripped naked, would they be able to leave mcmau?
It made sense. It was only a rank-7 demonic beast. If it encountered their old ancestor, it would probably be killed by the shock without even having a chance to react.
It wasn't difficult for those people to get their own children and grandchildren some weapons.
It was really infuriating to compare people.
Seeing Fang Ping's dejected look, Li Fei, who was in the crowd, gestured to the others. 'Forget it, don't give this guy a blow.'
"Before this, they were still thinking that the martial arts University's number one person would more or less surprise them.
Now, it seemed that he was just an ordinary person.
A seventh-grade magic weapon was enough to scare him?
Also, they could tell that Fang ping had always wanted to show off. The few of them were a little speechless. What was this guy thinking, to actually show off to them?
