World's Best Martial Artist

Outside the gym.

Qing Fengqing followed outside, while wiping his snot and tears cried, “I did not even do anything, yet Old Man Huang suddenly hit me off the floor. Who did I provoke?”

He only thought, did he do it?

Fang Ping scorned and said, “Dumbass!”

Old Man Huang was agitated, yet he still created trouble!

His outburst was with reason.

If anyone went against a Grandmaster powerhouse, regardless if the person was trying his luck, or had other motives, he was breaking the rules.

Not mentioning Rank-7, even if it was Rank-9, Fang Ping would also dare to take advantage of him.

Rank-9… There was also a Rank-9 among the MCMAU graduates, Wu Chuan was one.

Fang Ping was not afraid of them. Unless they brought him to a place with no one around in the Catacombs to kill him, which was not a huge possibility, or else if others found out, the Grandmasters of MCMAU including those of the Sino Nation would not have mercy and would destroy him like the evil sect.

Qing Fengqing wanted to take advantage of a Grandmaster for no reason, he was lucky that Huang Jing did not beat him to death.

Qing Fengqing had displeasure written all over his face. After a while, he said, “Give me one!”

“Why the hell should I do that?”

“I helped release their anger in your place!”

“Get lost!”

“Give me one, I didn’t prepare any pills this time. I cannot fight when I’m hurt…”

“There’s no difference with or without you.”

“Fang Ping, you can’t say that. Yes, it will be fine if we were against the weaklings like Xishan, but if we were against CCMAU and First Military School?”

“If you don’t contribute, don’t even think about getting a single credit. I will also suggest to the school to expel you, think about it yourself.”

Qing Fengqing shut up immediately. After moaning and groaning, he helplessly said, “Why is it that whenever I do the same thing as you do, I am the one who suffers?”

“If you copy me, you will die.”

“Fang Ping, do you have any know-how?”

“Yes!”

“Tell me.”

Fang Ping said while smiling, “You must be strong. Can a weakling like you compare with me? When I took advantage of Old Man Feng, he was accepting and convinced. Why? Because I am strong and he was the one in shame. Since he could not pressure me with his Mentality, he should admit it.

“If he really did pressure me down, I would not even ask for compensation, Old Man Huang will probably not show up too.

“Without any real abilities, yet you were boasting shamelessly, who do you think you are?

“The point is, I have abilities, are you convinced now?”

“Convinced!”

Qing Fengqing was really easy to talk to this time, he said in a small voice, “If you teach me how to cultivate my Mentality, I will give you the exact location of the energy mine.”

Fang Ping sneered.

“Don’t laugh, I’m serious. If you say you don’t have a way of cultivation, I will cut off my head and let you use it as a chamber pot. Fang Ping, there’s only you and I now brother, don’t be stingy…”

“Actually there is.”

“Really!” Qing Fengqing’s pitch went eight octaves higher.

“Go to Jiao’s Forest and stay there for a few days. Just let the Jiao beat you up a little, I guarantee that your Mentality will increase immediately.”

Qing Fengqing’s face turned green with rage and thought, “Do you see me as a fool?”

Fang Ping saw his thoughts, nodded his head and told him clearly that he was a fool.

Qing Fengqing’s expressions darkened and he walked away, ignoring Fang Ping.

After he left, Fang Ping did not care and continued walking around on the school grounds of CCMAU.

Although there were some places that he could not enter, Fang Ping did not mind and loitered around the outer grounds. Some CCMAU students who saw him were baffled.

They still recognized Fang Ping.

The point is this guy was not watching the competition, nor was he preparing for his match in the afternoon. What was he doing walking around here?

Very soon, Fang Ping’s loitering drew the attention of some powerhouses.

A while later, Li Hansong appeared in front of him.

The others were unqualified, while the instructors did not want to show up.

…

“If there is anything that President Fang wants to see, how about I bring you to it?”

Ling Yiyi and Han Xu were like his guards, standing at the sides of Li Hansong, not saying a word.

Fang Ping did not find trouble this time, and after thinking for a while said, “Senior Li, some of the Rank-1 and 2 students of CCMAU seem to have nothing to do. They look a little undisciplined.

After hearing this Li Hansong gave a sigh of relief and after considering said, “President Fang…”

“Just call me Fang Ping.”

“Junior Fang, you are also a president of a Martial Arts Society, you should know the situation. Rank-1 and 2 students cannot go to the Catacombs and cannot carry out difficult missions. They also are not willing to take on small missions that pay little. Instead of wasting their time, they might as well train…”

The point is, I didn’t see them cultivating.”

“Cultivation also needs the right amount of resting and relaxation, I think it is necessary.”

“Not meaning to intrude, but may I ask how many students are there now in CCMAU?”

“6300 students.”

“How many of them are aspiring martial artists? How many Rank-1 martial artists?”

Li Hansong frowned slightly, but still answered saying, “We have 1500 aspiring martial artists and 4000 Rank-1 martial artists.”

“Senior Li, CCMAU is strong. A few months ago, in MCMAU, there were 2000 aspiring martial artists and 4000 Rank-1 martial artists.

“Of course, that was before. Now, the aspiring martial artists in MCMAU have not reached a thousand people, Rank-1 martial artists have not reached 4000, and we have a thousand and above Rank-2 martial artists and a hundred and above Rank-3s.”

The expressions of the three of them changed slightly. Ling Yiyi asked, “Is that true?”

Fang Ping scolded. “Shut up, stop questioning everything that I say. Do I need to lie to anyone about this?”

Ling Yiyi was unhappy. Li Hansong pressed down on her hands and did not let her speak.

Taking a small breath, Li Hansong asked, “By this you mean…”

“Although CCMAU could not change drastically, some appropriate changes can still be made. As the president of the Martial Arts Society, we cannot only look out for ourselves. If we are holding this position yet doing nothing for the students’ interests, what kind of presidents are we then?

“Senior Li, it is not that I am looking for trouble, but I cannot get past this if I don’t say it.

“Rank-1 and 2 students, including the aspiring martial artists, must be given a certain amount of pressure.

“Without pressure, there will be no motivation. Letting them develop on their own is not a good measure to take now.

“The situation with the Catacombs is tense, although Capital City is the humans’ number one largest city, we cannot only look out for Capital City.

“If the other places are broken into, how will Capital City end up?

“We are not the older generation martial artists, we cannot set our visions to only one city or one ground. We must put our sights on the whole nation, the whole world!

“Now, there are reformations everywhere, but as the number one Martial Arts University in Sino Nation, you guys have not even the slightest change!

“This is also the main reason why MCMAU is starting to overtake CCMAU…”

Ling Yiyi was angered once again. “You say that you are overtaking CCMAU, is it just by your words?”

Fang Ping frowned and said, “Does retorting and rebuking make you seem like you have enough confidence? We have won the Rank-1 competition, we have won the Rank-3 competition. And we will also win the Rank-4 competition as expected.

“Of course, this doesn’t mean anything besides that our individual strength is strong.

“But we have above a thousand Rank-2 martial artists and a hundred Rank-3s. What about you?

“The Rank-2 and 3s, are the school’s mainstream.

“Do you even have a total of 800 Rank-2 and 3 martial artists added together?

“If we fall behind then we will be the ones beaten up, this is an everlasting truth!

“Face the reality, don’t immerse yourself in the glories of the past. Is it that the people of CCMAU only have this little amount of vision?

“If so, then make as if I have never said these words today!”

Ling Yiyi was stuttering, while Li Hansong took a breath again and said in a low voice, “Just say what you want to say, Junior Fang.”

“Regardless of CCMAU or MCMAU, including other Martial Arts Universities, the future is actually in our hands. The powerhouses of the older generation are diminishing. They are growing old and not interested in worldly matters anymore. The constructions of our schools will have to depend on ourselves.

“Why is CCMAU not establishing its e-commerce platform?

“Is it to show that you are special, superior and you look down on all of these?

“Or do you think that by bringing in the modern industry, CCMAU will be tarnished?

“Being old-fashioned and arrogant are the traits of a sect, not a Martial Arts University!

“This is one, number two, why is the loaning system not opened to the students? The other schools may not have the capital, but isn’t CCMAU different?

“Is it because these things originated from MCMAU, so you are undervaluing it?

“Number three, why did you guys not take part in the Rank-1 Martial Arts Competition? Just because you are narrow-minded because it was organized by MCMAU?

“Number four, the situation in Magic City is not as good, so I don’t expect our Rank-2 and 3 martial artists to go into the Catacombs. Capital City is different, you are at an advantage, why are the Rank-2 and 3 martial artists still staying in the school?

“Not one or two individuals, but a big number of them!”

Li Hansong tried to explain saying, “It’s mainly because of the championship…”

“It has nothing to do with them. So many people have come back and are only loitering around in school, to show off their prestige? They should be dragged into the Catacombs and participate in the Catacombs battles.”

Fang Ping continued saying, “All of these are unimportant. I mainly want to say that CCMAU is too closed off, and this is not good. Closing off the school from the outside is not what the dignified CCMAU should be doing!

“I have a suggestion. Both of our schools should be communicating and interchanging.

“For example, exchanging our fighting techniques, discussions between our instructors…”

“This… We cannot decide on this…”

Fang Ping snorted. “Is this how you serve as the president of the Martial Art Society? Forget it. I thought that as the president of the Martial Arts Society you would see the bigger picture. Now that I look at it, you are nothing more than this!

“If you cannot even decide for a small matter like this, your existence is just for the reputation?

“For your individual martial arts strength?

“Do you really think that you are stronger than me?

“Besides the strength of your martial art, what else do you have?

“The exchanging of fighting techniques, the interchanging between instructors, the intercommunication between the elite schools of the North and South, do you think all of these will only benefit MCMAU?

“I even suggested interchanging our Grandmasters and not guarding only one place. You see Magic City as your home base, and I do the same for Capital City. If anything happens here and people died, and I leave you alone; if there was trouble there and people died, I take pleasure in your misfortune.

“Should that be the mindset of a powerhouse?

“We are fighting against the Catacombs, a force countless times stronger than us humans!

“Humans could so easily be destroyed, yet now you say you cannot make the decision. Li Hansong, if I were you, I would acknowledge my mistakes and resign. At least Zhang Yu did this part better than you!”

Li Hansong was a little red with embarrassment. Han Xu who was at the side interrupted and said, “Fang Ping, the situation in CCMAU is different from MCMAU…”

“If there’s a will, there’s a way! You only say that it’s difficult, isn’t it also difficult becoming a Grandmaster?

“If you think it’s tough, then overcome it!

“Our late chancellor died fighting in the Catacombs, a lot of our instructors also fought to the death, is it not tough for MCMAU?

“It is very tough!

“We do not even have enough instructors to teach the students. Our students stepped up self-willingly, the older ones guiding the newer ones!

“I saw a lot of these at MCMAU, but not at CCMAU. I only saw your stubbornness, evasion of your obligations, irresponsibility and the lack of motivation!

“Forget it, just think of my words as nonsense. After today, CCMAU will not be my goal anymore…”

Li Hansong’s expressions gradually changed and said after a while, “I can fight for the interchanges of our instructors and the exchanging of our fighting techniques!”

“What about the e-commerce platform?”

“The platform does not have a big purpose…”

“Wrong, it is very big. I am thinking to combine our platforms at a later stage, including unifying our credits, to give the normal Martial Arts University students a chance! They don’t have missions to carry out and have difficulties acquiring credits. It is because of this that we would drop the value of the credits drastically. With the same mission, we can use 30 credits to exchange for 10 Vitality pills while they can only exchange for 6 pills.

“When the situation gets out of hand, it is not the matter for only one house or one school!

“Today, what are we fighting so hard for?

“For that tiny bit of resources!

“Even if we have three, five billion more, what can that do?

“We can earn it ourselves after everyone has their chances of improving!”

Ling Yiyi frowned and said, “It is not that easy, not to mention the resources are limited…”

“I’ve said it, we will earn it!” Fang Ping added on and said, “With the interchanging of our instructors and the exchanging of our fighting techniques, we will become stronger. It is essential that we become strong. Only then will we be more qualified to earn more resources!

“When we start sharing our missions and unifying our credits, in the beginning, it will be as if it is difficult for us to persist as our income is insufficient.

“After everyone’s strength has increased, this situation will change.

“Few years into the future, our time going to the Catacombs will increase, our numbers will increase.

“May it be the opening of the Catacombs in Nanjiang, or the reopening of the Catacombs in Tiannan, including new Catacombs appearing, they are all our opportunities.”

Having said that, Fang Ping thought and said, “The Nanjiang Catacombs is opening soon, what are CCMAU’s plans?”

Li Hansong shook his head and said, “CCMAU still has the Capital City Catacombs to guard…”

“Guarding the humans’ number one city to be an onlooker? Li Hansong, I am really speechless at the way you are serving as the president. Why are giving up on such a good opportunity? You actually didn’t think of fighting for it?

“The strong will always be stronger!

“Without the opportunities and favorable circumstances, how would you become stronger?

“Not even talking about other people, but would your Rank-3 and 4 martial artists have any chance in Capital City?

“You only need to organize a team of a few, about 30 to 50 people, plus a few instructors, and go to Nanjiang to fight for your opportunity, this is what you should be doing!”

“Just as I thought!”

Ling Yiyi was supportive of this. “We should go. Capital City has so many powerhouses, furthermore, the Catacombs have been wiped clean so many times, we have no chance at all.

“I said to go, they simply wouldn’t agree!

“Martial artists should face difficulties head-on. Fang Ping, this time I’m on your side!”

Fang Ping smiled at her gently, in the crucial times, Small Bra-ther was still reliable.

Li Hansong fell into a dilemma once again.

Fang Ping was displeased. “Indecisive, is that how you are Li Hansong? If so, in three years without fail, you would be left very far behind by Wang Jinyang and Yao Chengjun!”

Li Hansong sighed softly and said, “You don’t need to provoke me…”

“What a joke!”

Fang Ping sneered. “Do you still think that you are very strong? Li Hansong, how about we make a bet this time. You are not my opponent one-on-one, that is for certain. You are also not Wang Jinyang’s opponent, not even Yao Chengjun!

“Amongst us, there is a peculiarity in your cranial bone. You have the biggest advantage, yet your strength is the weakest!”

Li Hansong’s facial expressions were unpleasant, and he said softly, “Junior Fang you are too overconfident, and you underestimate me too much!”

“Then let’s make a bet. If CCMAU loses this time, you will organize the manpower and participate in the battles at the Nanjiang Catacombs! Of course, you can see it as me provoking you, but after losing the title of the number one prestigious school, you are still not trying hard. Are you sitting around waiting to die?”

“If I win?”

“If you win?” Fang Ping laughed and said, “It’s simple, if CCMAU wins, by my decision, MCMAU’s Martial Arts Society will give to CCMAU resources worth 10 billion each year, until the day when MCMAU gains back its position!”

The expressions of the three of them changed.

10 billion was not a small amount.

Furthermore, it was not just a year. It was every year until Fang Ping gained back the position. If Li Hansong was confident, he would have the certainty to stop him from getting back the position!

Fang Ping made the decision just with his word, did he think of himself as the chancellor of MCMAU?

“Why? You don’t believe me? My every word is set like stone. If I say that it will be done, it will be done. Even if MCMAU does not put up the money, I will also spend everything that I have to give it up!”

Now, Li Hansong really felt the difference between them.

Both of them were presidents of the Martial Arts Society, but only the way that Fang Ping did it, was purposeful and meaningful.

After he took a deep breath, Li Hansong said, “Setting up the e-commerce platform, interchanging between our instructors, exchanging our fighting techniques, I will try my utmost best to fight for these!

“Regarding the participation of the battles at the Nanjiang Catacombs, as long as people are willing, I will step up to organize the teams to participate, under the condition that you can defeat me!

“And also the interchanging of the Grandmasters… I really cannot make a decision for this, but I will bring it up to the chancellor.”

“That’s more like it.”

Fang Ping was more satisfied. He smiled and said, “Actually I still have many things that I want to do, but now these are the only things that I can do. As martial artists of our generation, our visions should not be limited.

“I will talk to a few more people later on. The martial artists of the older generation are all stubborn. Even if they are Grandmasters, I am not afraid to say so.

“The nature of the competitions is to help each other become stronger. But now, it has become the battle of an individual’s valor!

“I am very displeased with this. Unfortunately, it cannot be done according to my ideas.

“Of course, if it is according to my ideas, everyone’s strength is still not enough.”

Li Hansong did not comment on this. After some thought, he said, “How did you persuade the Grandmasters?”

Fang Ping was slightly astonished.

“I’m talking about the Grandmasters of MCMAU, they did not have any opinions on the changes that you did?”

Fang Ping smiled lightly and said, “That’s simple. You tell your chancellor now if no reforms are made, you will seek to join MCMAU, and will bring along a group of people with you. See what decision your chancellor will make.

“The school is theirs, but also ours!

“Are we wrong to make legitimate appeals?

“If CCMAU does not even have this capacity of tolerance, if the Grandmasters do not even have this heart of tolerance, then they do not deserve to be called Grandmasters!

“Is it worth it for you to stay in a school like this? Is it worth you fighting for it?

“The Grandmasters of MCMAU are in no way related to me. I may not have a family background to rely on, but I am for MCMAU wholeheartedly. That is why I can gain their trust and understanding!

“Li Hansong, do you not have this much confidence?

“If you think you cannot convince them, come to MCMAU then. MCMAU’s gates will always be wide open for you!

“At MCMAU, you don’t need to be wary of anything. As long as you are wholeheartedly for MCMAU, MCMAU is ours, is yours, and is everyone’s!

“Being comprehensive and understanding is our approach. That is the reason why we have been constantly expanding over the past few years!

“This might be unpleasant to hear, but CCMAU is not as open-minded and as lively as us. This is even more unpleasant if CCMAU’s chancellor… CCMAU will be in chaos immediately!

“I am not afraid to offend others if I do not have the guts, how can I destroy the Catacombs!”

Li Hansong seemed to be slightly stirred up. Ling Yiyi was torn between and murmured, “His words are making me want to go to MCMAU…”

Han Xu was pale in his face. That was strong, his influential ability was so strong!

If they continued to be swayed like this, there might be a big mess!

The important thing is, he was not influencing them casually but with reasoning and evidence. Not only Li Hansong, but Han Xu was also a little tempted himself.

If CCMAU did not make any reforms, the older generation was stubborn on their own opinions, maybe… MCMAU was a better choice!

Looking at the struggles on their faces, Fang Ping sighed softly in his heart and thought, “Oh young people, they are too young!

“I’m only saying, they actually took it for real. Even if they went to MCMAU, it is still my turf, how can it be everyone’s.”
