Chapter 38: Chapter 4 Not Cheating [Votes Collection]

Someone frowned.

"Among the names mentioned earlier, several are known as rare geniuses, but when did this Fang Che pop up?"

Someone was puzzled.

Hua Baozi furrowed his brows, "Also, these results are too bizarre, jumping directly from thirty-nine to ninety-one, all in increments of two points, indicating that only fifth level Demon Beasts were slain; continuously slaying twenty-six fifth level Demon Beasts? Not to mention groups of Demon Beasts, but... what level of cultivation allows someone to slice through fifth level Demon Beasts like chopping vegetables?"

"If someone is applying for the Martial Arts Academy and hasn’t yet enrolled, at most they could be a martial master, right? Is that even possible?"

Everyone shook their heads in disbelief, unless it was a Wuzhong.

"Could it be cheating?"

"It couldn’t be cheating, right? If it was, it would have been reported by now. But those people haven’t reported anything yet."

In the jungle.

Two men in black stood in a distant high place, watching the scene ahead expressionlessly through the leaves.

That was a valley.

Countless Xueya Demon Wolves were eagerly rushing into the valley.

Even some Xueya Demon Wolves that were quite far away were activating their Innate Divine Powers, flying in with the wind, eager to enter.

In the valley, there was a stick of incense burning under a cliff.

To enter the valley and then the cliff, there were several massive stones blocking the way, leaving only a winding path.

The narrow path could only fit one Demon Beast at a time, and they had to be careful to avoid bumping into the rocks.

And the cunning boy was waiting at the last fork.

He stood on the edge of the cliff with a Wind Steel Longsword in his hand. Below him, on the cliffside, the incense emitted the enticing Spirit Beast Soul Calming Fragrance, drawing the wolves into the winding path.

A Demon Wolf rushed over excitedly and as soon as its head appeared, it was beheaded with a single swing.

The killing of the wolf drew no blood, but their souls were severed simultaneously.

Then a quick knife was used to extract a core and a few drops of blood, both of which were deposited into the name plate.

A kick was then delivered.

The body of the Demon Wolf had already been kicked off the cliff.

Then came another, and the process repeated: one swing, one extraction, one drop, one kick.

The operation was extremely fluid, movements as smooth as water, resembling the work of a skilled worker with decades of experience.

One fifth level Demon Wolf after another...

Fang Che’s movements were efficient, clean, and tireless.

But the two instructors from the Baiyun Martial Academy watching grew increasingly speechless, an old frustration stuck in their throats, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

"Does this count as cheating?" one of them transmitted dumbfoundedly.

The other felt bitter as well, "It actually doesn’t count as cheating."

"What?"

"Because he’s been fighting from beginning to end. Though the fights are easier, he is indeed battling."

The other person felt a pain in his throat as he said this.

Both fell silent.

Was Fang Che fighting? Yes.

But compared to other geniuses, his ’battle’ was just too... easy.

Others of the same cultivation level would be tired half to death and might not even handle one such Xueya Demon Wolf without getting hurt.

But for him, it was one swing, one extraction, one drop, one toss.

Done.

As easy as dipping a steamed bun in garlic sauce while eating.

But, you couldn’t say he was cheating!

This truly was...

Fan Tiantiao, also watching, opened his mouth wide, his jaw nearly hitting the ground, muttering to himself, "Damn... That’s truly some original creativity, I’ve indeed opened my eyes today..."

Qian Sanjiang, seeing this, was dazzled, "Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, what talent..."

...

The cliff was not very high, only two to three hundred meters, but looking down from above, it was shrouded in mist, obscuring the bottom.

On the ground below the cliff, numerous piles of bones lay.

The continuously falling bodies of Demon Wolves would land motionlessly. But beneath the bodies of the Demon Wolves, blood quietly began to seep out.

This blood would disappear as soon as it touched the ground.

As the blood continued to drain, the bodies of the Demon Wolves were gradually losing their luster; once the blood was drained, the energy in their flesh and bones continued to seep into the ground.

Eventually, even the wolf pelts became slack, devoid of any strength, like a rotten cloth several years old, still intact on the surface, but a breath could scatter it.

Only the fur of the wolves remained attached, glossy and colorful.

Even if someone climbed down the cliff and saw these bodies, they wouldn’t notice that the Demon Wolves were essentially rotten, unchanged only in appearance.

Throughout the entire forest, this scene was unfolding in countless places, every lifeless body undergoing the same transformation. All the energy was seeping into the ground, being funneled in a certain direction.

But no one noticed.

Fang Che, after killing the Demon Wolves, kept watching his surroundings, always feeling that something was off.

But no matter what, he couldn’t figure it out.

What was the reason?

...

Deep underground, hundreds of meters down, lay a broken body, lying quietly.

It seemed to have been dead for many years, yet it was not decaying.

The strands of blood essence seeping in from various directions kept gathering towards the body.

Like trickles flowing into the sea.

Over the years, it absorbed countless, showing no slight change, only the aura of blood around it grew slightly denser.

...

At Baiyun Martial Academy.

Everyone looked dumbfounded as Fang Che’s points surged like a rocket.

Starting at ninety-one points, it soared to two hundred and one and paused briefly.

Then it started to shoot up again.

Up to two hundred ninety-nine.

Finally, it stopped.

Just like that, occupying the top rank.

Up to this point, Qiu Yunshang, who was in second place, only had seventy-seven points.

The gap was simply like heaven and earth!

Then, Fang Che’s points never moved again.

Vice Principal Hua Baozi finally issued an order, "Fang Che must have finished acquiring points, quickly check what Demon Beasts he has killed; then send a message to those instructors who escorted the martial artists here, asking what’s going on."

Soon, all the data was transmitted and piled up on the ground.

A pile.

"All Xueya Demon Wolves?"

All the teachers at Baiyun Martial Academy were stunned.

After a long while, Hua Baozi stamped his foot, "This kid must have gotten lucky this time! The Xueya Demon Wolf has a fatal weakness, which is the Soul Calming Herb..."

Right at this moment, news from the front came back, "Fang Che used Spirit Beast Soul Calming Fragrance, it should be..."

Everyone looked at each other.

Could it really be like this?

"What should we do?"

"What else can we do?"

Hua Baozi stamped his foot, "Anyway, he didn’t cheat, we can only let it be! Ah... once this kid enters the Academy, I really want to see what stuff he’s made of."

After speaking, he huffed out with his hands behind his back.

Outside, someone reported: Mountain Master, there’s a confidential report.

Only to hear the Mountain Master say, "Bring it here."

A moment later.

In his own study, the Mountain Master looked at a piece of paper in front of him.

The four words on the paper were quickly fading: "Keep an eye on Fang Che."

The Mountain Master’s gaze was profound.

...

Just as the Martial Arts Academy had anticipated.

After Fang Che’s score reached two hundred ninety-nine, he stopped the slaughter.

Although there was not much Soul Calming Incense left, the Xueya Demon Wolves continued to come in waves.

But Fang Che no longer wanted to continue killing.

The score was enough.

Over two hundred, free from the exam.

Continuing to kill was meaningless.

Moreover, staying here, he always felt something was not right, indescribably off, and he did not want to stay a moment longer.

Here, even hearing his own heartbeat made him feel terrified.

This feeling was too wrong.

There must be a great danger!

So, once he got the points, he left immediately!

...

Wei Zihao felt lucky that during this beast-slaying, he had discovered a Spiritual Ginseng!

And guarding this ginseng was a sixth level Peak Demon Beast.

Wei Zihao himself could not kill it, so he promised great benefits and teamed up with over a dozen martial artists to kill the demon beast.

No one else saw where the ginseng was, and Wei Zihao secretly rejoiced.

He was about to kill the demon beast.

By then, after paying the promised money, he could throw the sixth level Demon Beast out for them to compete for points, and he could make a fortune quietly.

In the midst of blood splattering, the demon beast howled loudly in pain as flesh scattered everywhere, and all the martial artists were thrilled, seeing success was within reach, and they all put in more effort.

Just then.

A shadow whisked past from above.

Suddenly, with a curious sound, it flew back.

Right next to them, standing on a large tree branch, with gleaming eyes looking down, and stroking his chin, he said, "Oh, this is nice."

It was Fang Che.

Wei Zihao was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Fang, please lend a hand to help kill this beast, I will surely reward you handsomely!"

Fang Che laughed heartily, "Alright, then I’ll take that Qi zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng, how about that?"

"Qi zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng?"

Suddenly, Kang Zijian, who was in the midst of fighting, did a big flip out of the arena, his face full of confusion: "What Qi zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng?"

Everyone else also stopped fighting.

"What Qi zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng?"

"Wasn’t it a sixth level Peak Demon Beast?"

"Spiritual Ginseng? What’s that? What’s going on?"

"..."

Wei Zihao widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.

It even took him a moment to react, and he nearly ground his teeth to bits!

How could he have thought that his casual invitation to Fang Che would provoke such a disaster?

This jerk had just blurted out about the existence of the Qi zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng!

This was a rare Heavenly Treasure.

This was utterly unbelievable!

His eyes blazed with fury as he glared at Fang Che, wishing he could tear the man’s mouth apart.

Why did you have to be such a blabbermouth?

Fang Che looked innocent, addressing Kang Zijian and the others, "What? Weren’t you guys fighting for that Qi zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng? You were fighting so fiercely, I thought you were after that Ginseng which can enhance one’s aptitude after consumption."

He clucked his tongue twice, "A really good thing, it’s already turned red, consumption promises a guaranteed increase by one grade in aptitude!"
