Chapter 395: Like A Demon

“It is going to be tough for MCMAU to be stronger!”

In the tent, Fang Ping sighed again.

At that moment, Old Man Li and the others arrived as well.

Tang Feng was there as well, he said softly, “It’s only a small group of people, don’t worry too much about it, the instructors and students of MCMAU will not just watch by the sidelines!”

Old Man Li said in a loud voice, “What is there to be afraid of? Would they dare touch you? You are only going to Capital City, that’s nothing.”

“I don’t want to go, even if you kill them after I die, what’s the point?”

After saying that, Fang Ping said in a low voice, “I won’t put these matters to heart, instructors, aside from Dean Luo who is leading the team here, the rest of you should go back to Magic City now. Besides that, gather all the Rank-6 instructors back to the school!

“The matter of the Celestiality Cultivation Room needs to be prepared immediately, to make sure that everyone is at their strongest!

“Also, the Energy room and the Vitality Pool will be open to all the students of the school!

“Regarding the fees, they could owe us first, and pay us back later…”

“Fees?” Tang Feng paused for a moment.

Fang Ping said, “Of course, to gain something without hard work is not the mindset of the martial artists! Instructor, do you think that it’s suitable to make it free of charge?”

“That… That is right…”

“Yup, this was what I meant, you guys should go back first. Besides that, I would sooner or later drop the price of the pills!”

Fang Ping scoffed, his gaze threatening as he said, “There could also be prodigies from the civilian populace! The price of the pills is too expensive, with this they aim for the nationalization of martial arts? You have got to be kidding me!”

“The government will take this all into consideration.” Lu Fengrou advised again.

“I know, but how soon is eventually? There will surely be people who would step up to be a pioneer in this reformation, and I, Fang Ping, with my humble self, would want to try to be this pioneer! If I was Rank-3 or Rank-4, or if I was not the President of the MCMAU Martial Arts Society, I will not bring this up.

“But now, I am not.

“And, I have a group of like-minded comrades in arms!

“The future is ours, we were supposed to break the rules!

“Our generation of martial artists are not willing to be ordinary, and we are not willing to be unknown, to be on the defensive forever, to be oppressed by the threats from the Catacombs forever!

“I am not great, and I still have selfish motives, but I don’t want to see after years later, my children are still on the frontlines fighting bathed in blood!”

Fang Ping laughed and said, “Besides that, I’m doing all of this, is so that I can takeover MCMAU better, so my dear instructors, please support me!”

Lu Fengrou was getting a splitting headache, and asked only after a moment, “You want to take over MCMAU?”

“Of course, how could I fake that?”

“And you think Wu Kuishan will agree to this?”

“Why not? I didn’t say I wanted to be the vice-chancellor, I just think that I can handle matters no matter how big or small that arises in MCMAU.”

“How is that different from being the vice-chancellor?”

“Of course there is a difference, I will be serving the vice-chancellor, but not being one myself. Under the leadership of Vice-chancellor Wu, MCMAU will be in a better place.”

Lu Fengrou was at a loss and said, “What will you do if he does not agree to it?”

“Well, it may not be up to him!”

Fang Ping said loudly, “Instructor Li, you will support me, right?”

Old Man Li said nonchalantly, “I don’t even know why you have to bother with these matters. I am telling you, if Old Devil Wu goes mad, I may not be able to stop him.”

“No problem, at the worst I will just get a beating, all in all, this is all for MCMAU!”

The others did not say much after and left one after another.

After they left, then only did Fang Ping mumble, “How could I not takeover MCMAU? If I do not take over, it feels like I am cheap labor, as though I am doing something stupid; if I takeover, only then would I feel that I am cultivating my forces.”

Fang Ping was not great enough to be the self-sacrificing hero, he felt he would lose too much.

If he did not pay the price, in any case, he had a little power, maybe next time he would be able to get even more energy stones, even more, cultivation resources.

But then would he sell those for money?

Why would he need so much money?

What was the point of having so much money?

Now, to take over MCMAU, it would be like to cultivate his own forces, he would feel much better.

Breaking the monopolization was not conflicting with MCMAU’s progressions. If MCMAU wanted to progress even more quickly, this was something that has to be done. He could also win over a few hearts in the process, and gain a few allies, it was something beneficial yet would cost him nothing.

…

That night, Old Man Li and the others rushed back to MCMAU.

Fang Ping was not anxious to go back, and the others were also not worried about his safety. His enemies were not that reckless, more so when he was still in Nanjiang’s territory.

At that moment, so many Rank-9 powerhouses from all over the nation had their attention on this place, thus no one would try anything rashly.

…

Sun City.

When Fang Ping opened the doors and entered, his family who was eating their meal looked at him.

Why did he come back suddenly?

Fang Ping laughed and said, “Dad, Mom, I’m home.”

“Round Face, get me a bowl of rice, I’m starving.”

Fang Yuan made a face, her earlier excitement dissipating. Hateful fellow!

Although he was hateful, she still went unhappily to serve him rice, she was still counting on Fang Ping to look after her.

Fang Ping cheerfully laughed and sat down, he casually took a piece of rib and swallowed it in one mouthful, even the bones were chewed to pieces. He said happily, “It tastes really good mom, your cooking skills are still awesome!”

Li Yuying finally recovered, not knowing whether she found the situation annoying or funny and said, “You always make your returns a surprise, you don’t even inform us beforehand!”

“My phone battery died, so I just flew back.”

Auspicious Peace City was not too far from here, this time he really did fly back.

Li Yuying did not think too much, she thought that he took a flight back, but Fang Yuan who was just bringing out the rice was shocked as she said, “You flew back?”

“Of course, your brother is now at Rank-5, my flying speed is very fast.”

“Rank-5 already!”

Even an apple could fit in Fang Yuan’s open mouth!

Fang Ping… was Rank-5 already!

With a Talent of 699, was it terrifying to this extent?

“You… You are only a sophomore…”

As Fang Ping ate, he laughed and said, “Does it matter, tomorrow when I go back to MCMAU, I am going to take over MCMAU. Age is not a problem, as long as we have brawns and brains, everything else would not be a problem.

“Round Face…”

“Don’t call me that anymore!” Fang Yuan was getting flustered, she should not have gotten the rice for him.

Fang Ping laughed and said, “Alright, alright, you’re a big girl now, you have a reputation to uphold, I understand.”

Fang Ping was eating voraciously as he said all these, he had not eaten for a few days.

After a few bites, Fang Ping asked again, “How has your cultivation been?”

“Not too bad, I checked a few days ago, my Vitality is at 175cal.”

“Yo, not bad, soon you will be a twice-honed martial artist. That’s good, you didn’t embarrass me too much.”

Fang Ping laughed and looked to his father who was watching him quietly, he laughed and said, “Dad, everything good here in Sun City?”

“Commander Bai has been quite nervous these days.” Fang Mingrong then said softly, “It seems like there is trouble in Auspicious Peace City.”

“Yup, there was a bit of trouble, but it’s not a big deal, it has already been dealt with.”

Fang Ping munched loudly on the bone and continued saying, “Dad, Mom, I may be a bit busy sometimes, and you may not be able to contact me with my phone. If you have urgent matters and can’t find me, you can ask the Nanjiang House of Governors for help.

“The Nanjiang House of Governors owe me a huge favor this time, they will not turn down simple favors.”

When he heard this, Fang Mingrong stiffened slightly, what did his son do now?

Fang Yuan looked on with interest, sat next to him hastily, and asked excitedly, “Fang Ping, what did you do now?”

“Why are you such a busybody?” Fang Ping said as he watched her round face coming towards him. He reached forward and pinched her cheek and said gleefully, “You’ve put on some weight, you can feel it now, how nice!”

Fang Yuan was going to cry, her shame turning to anger as she said, “I’m not fat!

“Mom, Dad, I’m not fat, right?”

Her parents could not help but laugh but did not say anything.

Fang Ping laughed too, and after a while, he said, “Don’t mind these things, just focus on your cultivation and study hard. Your brother is getting stronger and stronger and his status is also rising. While living on this earth, we are bound to offend some people, not to the extent that they are my enemies, but there are a few who are unhappy with your brother.

“They may not be daring enough to hurt my family, but you can never be too careful.

“Your brother is too busy, with no time to constantly take care of the family, but you are also a young adult now, the backbone of the family.

“As long as your strength improves, then my mind will be at ease, I’ll feel safer too.

“I didn’t say all this before because I was afraid that you will worry about me. Now, my strength has increased, I am not worried about myself, but more worried for all of you.

“Some people are extremely petty, if they can’t do anything about me, so they come after you. That would be disastrous.

“If someone has wronged you, or bullied you, don’t hide it, don’t just keep it inside, tell me. Sometimes we need to make an example out of people, to cut up a few of them to serve as a warning for the others would be still necessary.

Fang Ping said all these with ease, but his parents’ expressions changed, filled with worry.

Fang Yuan did not bother to get angry and immediately asked her brother, “Brother, did you beat someone up again?”

“Something like that, probably a little more serious. So you do have to focus on your cultivation, do you understand?”

“Yes!”

Fang Yuan nodded her head, feeling a little stressed!

Fang Ping laughed and continued eating as the living room descended into silence again.

After eating, Fang Ping brought Fang Yuan into the practice room and gave some of the little Energy Essence that he had left to Fang Yuan.

This thing was mild.

If it was an energy stone instead, the intensity of the energy would be too high. Fang Yuan might not be able to withstand it, and she might even explode.

Of course, he did not give her much, it was just one small drop.

Fang Yuan was also confused. As she did not know what it was, naturally she did not care as much.

As the siblings talked, the little girl suddenly asked, “Brother, you said you wanted to take over MCMAU?”

“Yup.”

“How is that possible? Didn’t you say that your school has Grandmasters?”

“So what if they are Grandmasters?” Fang Ping laughed and said, “Silly girl, wait until you enter the martial arts world, then you will understand how great your brother is. Of course, when the day comes, your brother might already be a Grandmaster, so you don’t have to think of Grandmasters as something unattainable.”

“But my Talent is only 160…”

“Oh, that’s nothing. The medicine that I have given you just now is for you to increase your Talent. Your Talent has increased now. If you don’t believe me try cultivating then later, you will see.”

Fang Yuan half-believed him, was there a medicine that could increase Talent?

“Believe me, it’s real.”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

“Then how much is my Talent up to now?”

“Almost 200, next time when I have something good, I will let you eat some, soon it will go up to four or five hundred!”

Fang Yuan heard all this and her face lit up with happiness. She was contented, her Old Bro was so good!

Fang Ping gleefully continued to pinch her cheeks, this silly girl was so gullible, believing everything he said.

…

The next day, Fang Ping said goodbye to his family and went on his way back to school.

At the same time when Fang Ping was going back to school.

At MCMAU.

The vice-chancellor’s office.

Wu Kuishan stood next to the window and watched the students downstairs, saying softly, “We are old.”

Huang Jing who was beside him laughed and said, “We already were.”

“But not so old as to be unable to move right?” Wu Kuishan said faintly, “Someone already wants to seize power.”

“Didn’t I already say this, this is for you to focus on your cultivation, and breakthrough to Rank-9?”

Wu Kuishan did not know if he should laugh or cry. “So does that mean that, even though my cultivation has reached this stage, I should allow this guy to plan for my future?”

Huang Jing laughed softly again and said, “You can turn him down, wouldn’t he possibly force you to delegate?”

“What about you?”

“Me?”

Huang Jing laughed lightly. “If MCMAU takes a turn for the better, I don’t mind it at all.”

“But I don’t feel so at ease in my gut.”

“Then beat him up until he is half-dead, then say this, ‘You’d better manage this well, otherwise I will kill you’, along with a few other harsh words and show off your authority a little…”

“Why would I do that?”

“So that you could be overthrown with a little dignity.”

“Your lame jokes are not funny.”

“Then just turn him down, then you figure out a way to spend more energy on MCMAU.”

Wu Kuishan was getting a headache. “But I do want to cultivate.”

“Then you have no choice. You want to cultivate to enter Rank-9, yet you also want to hold on to power and not let go. You have to choose one as your priority.”

“And that guy? Does he not need to cultivate?”

“He cultivates quickly, he is already at Rank-5. His bone marrow is peculiar, his Mentality is peculiar, and his Celestial Bridges are also peculiar… When the day comes that even his cranial bone is unique, then you will realize that he is at Rank-8 or 9…”

Wu Kuishan’s face turned dark as he was stabbed with these words.

He has got to be kidding, it is not that easy to become a Rank-8 or 9, how could he become unique just because he said he is.

Huang Jing said quietly, “You have to believe, if you don’t, then just watch and see. This guy… he is like a demon.”

Wu Kuishan took a deep breath and said, “Then from now on, I could go behind the scenes and properly cultivate?”

“Not to that extent, in crucial times, you would still have to stand out to take the blame.”

“I…”

Wu Kuishan wanted to scold somebody!

“Alright, I’ll just let it all go! I want to see what will happen to MCMAU! The things that he is doing now may not be good, MCMAU is pushed into the eye of the storm!”

“This is a generation constantly asking for change. If you don’t change, MCMAU will continue as usual, it would only be a beautiful dream to have one school to guard one Catacomb.”

“I don’t believe that he can achieve that! If just by relying on the little change that is happening now, can he do it?”

“Who knows what would happen in the future.”

“That’s not enough unless he can step into the ideals of Rank-9, then it doesn’t matter if he able to achieve it or not, I would be impressed.”

“An ideal Rank-9…”

Huang Jing muttered, was it possible?

That would be a whole new level!

Zhao Xingwu claimed to be close to the standard, but in reality, he still had a long way to go.

Fang Ping, could he reach this far?

No one could predict this!

Huang Jing said nothing more, it would be impossible that Wu Kuishan had no ill feelings in his heart.

Not just Wu Kuishan, but did Huang Jing himself not had thoughts of his own?

Sometimes, he could give it a try, to risk it one time, it might not necessarily not work at all.

It did not matter if it did not work, until that time, they could stand up once again to reform the school. As for Fang Ping, if his reformation failed, so he should bear the consequences honestly, MCMAU would never cover for him forever.

…

In the afternoon of December 26th, 2009, Fang Ping returned to MCMAU.

On this day, Fang Ping who was Rank-5, by his own merit, called for a school-wide instructor meeting for the first time.

That night.

In the school’s main hall, the thousands of instructors from both the social and martial sciences, those who could make it all came together.

In so many years, aside from the time after the old vice-chancellor who was middle-ranked accepted the responsibility of being vice-chancellor did something like this, Fang Ping was the first middle-ranked martial artist to call for a school-wide instructor meeting.

And Fang Ping at that moment was just a sophomore!

A heavy silence filled the great hall.
