Chapter 43: Chapter 9 Retest Qualifications

"What a mess this has turned into!"

Huang Yifan was flustered.

If it really was a Demon Sect spy, and he had knocked him out with his spiritual pressure, he would feel no guilt—rather, he would be thrilled. It’s a pity he couldn’t have killed him on the spot.

But now it seemed... this kid is good, isn’t it a pity to make him suffer for nothing?

So he quickly started fumbling in his pockets.

He was filled with resentment.

A good seedling of moral integrity, honesty, world-embracing heart, and righteousness was knocked unconscious by him...

As for why he’s a good kid, does that even need to be said?

Under his own Monarch Level spiritual pressure, not to mention a martial artist, even an Emperor Level would be completely subdued!

How could there be any doubt?

Huang Yifan was even confident that he could draw a picture of what Fang Che was thinking under that pressure!

It’s tough to find such a kid even if you searched with a lantern!

Yet, due to a blunder, he had caused damage to his own Divine Soul.

In his heart, Huang Yifan nearly cursed his former subordinate, Chen Ru Hai, to oblivion!

But there was no choice, he had to clean up his own mess. He took out all the Elixir Pills he had, but the lowest grade Divine Soul Pill he had was at King level.

Clearly not suitable for just a martial artist.

If he let Lv Jiao Mountain go get the pills now, wouldn’t it reveal the blunder?

If that got out, he could kiss his reputation goodbye.

With no other choice, he directly used True Yuan to burn most of the pill’s potency, and when he felt the remaining potency was about right, he used his Superior Grade Divine Power to guide and infuse it into Fang Che’s Divine Sense for meticulous repairs.

He was sweating profusely from the busyness; finally, it was about done.

It seemed the energy was still a bit too much, allowing the kid’s Divine Sense to increase slightly due to this accident.

But Huang Yifan didn’t care, as long as it was fine.

Then there were the meridians. He personally lent a hand, using Spiritual Essence to help smooth them out.

But then he felt something off, this kid’s meridians seemed a bit peculiar, how come some of my True Yuan got trapped inside?

He was puzzled.

Pfft!

A slight noise, and an aura of breakthrough emanated directly!

"My mother!"

Huang Yifan freaked out on the spot.

I actually caused an unconscious person to breakthrough? I really have such an ability...

Huang Yifan began to doubt his life even more.

You could say the Divine Soul Pill is too powerful, and I personally combed through, so the unexpected expansion of the sea of consciousness is somewhat reasonable.

But I was just smoothing out your meridians, healing some trauma, how did that cause a breakthrough?

This just doesn’t make any sense.

Doesn’t this mean I, as a Mountain Master, just helped a student cheat before the competition?

...

When Fang Che woke up, he only felt comfortable all over, as if soaking in a hot spring on a cold day,

Every inch of his muscles seemed to be soothingly calling out.

Indescribably enjoyable.

And his sea of consciousness had actually doubled in size!

Even his cultivation had jumped directly from the Peak of Third Grade Martial Master to the Middle Step Fourth Grade Martial Master!

Advanced a level!

What’s going on? How did I improve?

Fang Che was speechless inside.

This really disrupts my rhythm.

He was intentionally suppressing his cultivation level, keeping it at the Third Grade without breaking through.

Not to hide his clumsiness or to pretend to be a tiger, but because he planned to break through suddenly during the student competition upon facing a strong opponent...

That would create a sensation and even lead to a legend— a young prodigy, seemingly beaten, achieves a breakthrough at the last moment and turns defeat into victory, stunning White Cloud.

What does this mean?

Many people, in their entire lives, would never forget such an event.

This way, it would be more beneficial for him to obtain better cultivation resources.

Such a momentum would even spread outside.

By then, even if the higher-ups of the Martial Arts Academy got the news from Bibo City Guardian Hall and knew he was a ’Yixin Sect disciple,’ they couldn’t just ignore it.

Such a talented student, why wouldn’t you provide the best resources? Is the Baiyun Martial Arts Academy blind?

Where is the fairness?

Where is the justice?

His identity still had leverages, obligating the Martial Arts Academy not to outright say to the public ’this guy is from Wei Wo Zheng Sect’...

That way, no matter what, he would reap some benefits.

Fang Che felt compelled by his situation: I know I’m not a bad guy, but the problem is, you don’t know I’m not a bad guy. On the contrary, you all think I’m a bad guy!

So my resources would definitely be withheld.

This could completely lead to my resources not being allocated to me, then what happens to my cultivation?

That was a pressing issue he had to consider.

But now, his original plan had been unexpectedly disrupted.

He had directly become a Middle Step Fourth Realm.

Fang Che was a bit distressed.

Not because he was worried about not being able to manage a breakthrough at the critical moment, after all, with at least seven to eight days until everyone gathers for the competition, he had enough time to build his cultivation back to the Fourth Realm Peak.

But the biggest issue was, with this development, he didn’t think there would be anyone stronger than him among this term’s candidates.

If his opponent clearly didn’t pose a challenge, and he forced a breakthrough, then it would just look like he was trying to show off.

And it would be an unsuccessful and conspicuously ’forced’ kind of show-off.

Instead, it would become a joke.

Damn it.

Fang Che looked at Vice Mountain Master Huang Yifan in front of him, filled with resentment.

Then he noticed that Huang Yifan was also looking back at him with eyes full of resentment.

Seeing that Fang Che was now awake, Huang Yifan first spoke sullenly, "You’ve awakened?"

Fang Che blinked bewilderedly, his eyes already open, what do you think, am I awake... or not?

"Awake."

"Your assessment is passed."

Huang Yifan said.

"Thank you, Mountain Master."

"Sure, no problem," Huang Yifan’s mind wandered off, pondering what to do next.

"How much do you remember about the assessment?"

"It seems a bit blurry; I can’t remember."

Fang Che revealed a look of lingering fear: "What did the students say? I hope they didn’t say anything inappropriate?"

Huang Yifan felt a relief wash over him, thinking that this was how it should be.

He said cheerily, "Nothing inappropriate was said, and if it had been, you wouldn’t have passed anyway."

"Baiyun Martial Academy is truly a top-notch institution on the continent, employing such profound methods of assessment," Fang Che expressed his heartfelt admiration. His mind was indeed fuzzy, and he barely remembered what he had said, but it seemed he must have passed.

"That’s right."

Huang Yifan coughed and thought to himself, how could it not be profound? This kind of testing could only be done by you yourself; no need for me, the Vice Mountain Master, to personally test anyone else.

Suddenly, Huang Yifan remembered something and said, "There’s another thing; we need to test your aptitude."

He coughed again involuntarily and added, "It’s convenient since I’m already here; I might as well stay for this too."

Saying this, he removed the sound barrier.

He then loudly said, "Dean, Donkey Scream Sky, you come and start the aptitude test."

The Dean walked in with a dark expression and said indignantly, "I am Lv Jiao Mountain! Not Donkey Scream Sky, Vice Mountain Master Huang, could you please refrain from using such nicknames in front of the students? I do have a reputation to maintain!"

"Alright, Donkey Scream, let’s begin."

Huang Yifan said.

Lv Jiao Mountain’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

And yet he dared not voice his anger.

This old bastard was parachuted in and was a Guardian.

He hardly participated in the administration of the academy, but his martial prowess was extraordinary, specializing in Martial Arts regulation.

He was undoubtedly the top expert of the academy, a treasure of the institution.

Management, scheming, and intrigue were never of interest to him. However, he was extremely powerful in martial force.

As long as you didn’t scheme against him, everything was fine. But once you did... and if he found out, it was more than just a matter of getting beaten half to death.

Last time, even though he hadn’t offended him, he had still been beaten up after drinking, and he had dared not speak up.

With a flick of his hand, he took out a small purple jade tower, which looked much higher quality than the one Sun Yuan had used, and asked, "Have you been tested before?"

"I have, my master said it was slightly above A-level," Fang Che replied.

"Uh-huh, the Yulong Towers out there are mostly fake and of inferior quality, unlike our Martial Academy’s twelve-layer Yulong Tower, which is more detailed and intuitive."

Lv Jiao Mountain didn’t care; only slightly above A-level, which wasn’t unusual at Baiyun Martial Academy. He said, "Input your Spiritual Power."

He added, "Just do it forcefully."

"Understood."

Fang Che activated his Spiritual Power and directed it into the purple jade Yulong Tower, feeling that his Spiritual Power flowed more smoothly than when Sun Yuan did it.

It had just begun.

The bottom seven layers of the Yulong Tower lit up instantly.

Violet light shone brightly, turning the entire room into a dreamlike scene.

"Directly below A-level?"

Lv Jiao Mountain’s eyes lit up.

He saw the purple light rapidly spreading upward, and in an instant, the eighth and ninth layers almost simultaneously lit up.

"Above A-level, and not yet at the limit."

Huang Yifan leaned closer.

He seemed very interested.

The tenth layer emitted a bright purple light.

"Heavenly Level aptitude."

Then the purple light paused momentarily, as if it had run out of momentum.

But neither Lv Jiao Mountain nor Huang Yifan was disappointed. Heavenly Level aptitude was already the stuff of legends to others.

Baiyun Martial Academy did have students with Heavenly Level aptitude, but not many.

It indicated a supreme genius.

Both of them sighed in relief.

However, just as they did so, the eleventh layer suddenly lit up!

Then the twelfth layer followed instantly!

After that, at the very top of the tower, a dense purple aura burst out, shooting straight onto Huang Yifan’s face, who was bending over to watch!

It only made Huang Yifan’s face shine with a ghostly purple glow.

Now, Huang Yifan, with his mouth gaping so wide that one could see right down into his intestines, and his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets, himself resembled a ghost almost entirely.

Lv Jiao Mountain across from him wasn’t looking much better.

Standing with his mouth wide open, his eyes bulging, and veins popping on his temple.

He had a look of dreamy sleepwalking.

His eyes full of life’s doubts.

The purple light was still spreading.

The two looked at each other, feeling the dryness in their mouths. Huang Yifan stammered, "Is the Yulong Tower broken?"

Lv Jiao Mountain snatched the Yulong Tower from Fang Che’s hands, ready to input his Spiritual Power for a test.

But he stopped abruptly and handed it to Huang Yifan: "It probably isn’t broken; why don’t you try?"

Huang Yifan, dumbfounded, took it and was about to input his Spiritual Power, then suddenly realized something and reflexively slapped Lv Jiao Mountain five steps back, cursing loudly, "You guys who are always around the school are especially dirty-minded! Damn you, trying to trick me!"

Lv Jiao Mountain sheepishly said, "Just trying it out, no harm done."

"Why don’t you try it then?" Huang Yifan nearly went mad.

Lv Jiao Mountain rolled his eyes.

Try it? How to try?

How many in tens of thousands of years have broken through the Yulong Tower with purple aura?

What’s our level compared to this monster?

Have me prove that I’m so much worse than this little shrimp?

Do I still want to keep face?

"Go find someone! You damned black-hearted scoundrel!" Huang Yifan roared.

Lv Jiao Mountain ran like lightning.

Then Huang Yifan ran as well.

Leaving Fang Che there alone. Both old men ran to other rooms to test someone else.

A moment later.

They both walked in.

Looking at Fang Che as if they had seen a ghost.

"Your master said you were slightly above A-level?" Huang Yifan asked with an extremely odd tone.
