Chapter 65: Chapter 30: Hot Potato

Crack.

Li Changkong closed his mouth.

But he still couldn’t believe it and looked Fang Che up and down several times.

I swear I’ve witnessed a future certainty to reach the Cloud Weapon List!

It took Li Changkong a while to shut his mouth, but his eyes still sparkled with a dreamlike luster.

After testing Fang Che’s cultivation, he became even more astounded, "Aren’t you the one who just broke through to the fifth grade on the arena that day?"

"Yeah."

"Then why are you at the peak of the fifth grade now?"

Fang Che really wanted to say that my master got me a lot of Heavenly Treasures, all of which I’ve eaten.

"I don’t even know why..."

Once registration was complete, Li Changkong converted Fang Che’s original point card for slaying demon beasts into an academic points card for Baiyun Martial Academy, and then he sighed.

He hesitated, then stopped himself.

Fang Che activated his academic points card and saw his name displayed, along with one hundred and ten academic points.

From that moment on, in Baiyun Martial Academy, any expenses, including food, drink, clothing, shelter, travel, Elixir Pills, Secret Manuals, etc., could be paid for with the card!

This card could satisfy any need.

"There are traces of Elixir Pill consumption inside you. Before you break through to become an Innate Grandmaster, you must not consume any Elixir Pills or Heavenly Treasures that could aggressively advance your cultivation."

"Yes."

"I will figure out a way to remove the traces of Elixir Pills inside you, making it crystal clear. You must not rush when laying the foundation! Luckily, you didn’t eat much; if it had been more, accumulation of Dan Poison could block your future prospects."

"Yes." Fang Che was naturally aware of this downside, but previously, he had no choice.

He had planned to recuperate after reaching Baiyun Martial Academy anyway, and since Li Changkong had noticed, all the better.

Next, Li Changkong fell silent for a moment before asking, "Fang Che, why are you seizing the Su Family’s property?"

"Seizing?"

Fang Che smiled and said, "Instructor Li, back in the day you knocked on the widow’s door and dug up the family graves; over these years, you’ve taken lots of bribes from students, you must’ve made a good sum, right?"

Li Changkong became furious.

I never did such things!

But Li Changkong didn’t lash out.

He understood the implication behind Fang Che’s words.

Li Changkong fell silent again and scolded, "Sharp-tongued."

Fang Che smiled, "My Big Brother Su is still alive."

"Get out!"

"All right!"

Fang Che left.

He clearly felt that Li Changkong’s attitude had changed a lot.

But the sense of helplessness in his eyes had deepened.

The class-wide assessment came to an end.

The four instructors gathered together.

"In my group, five grade A+, six grade A, eleven grade A, three grade B+."

"Six grade A+, six grade A, nine grade A, four grade B+."

"Eight grade A+, one with an Innate Ice Spirit Body, five grade A, ten grade A, one grade B+."

The three of them finished and looked at Li Changkong.

"This batch of students has much better potential than the last batch."

Everyone nodded to this point.

Potential was laid out for everyone to see; this was the most compelling evidence.

"How about you, boss?"

"I have five grade A+, seven grade A, ten grade A, one grade B+..."

Li Changkong seemed a bit distracted.

The other three instructors exchanged glances and counted, "Hey, that’s not right, we’re missing two people?"

"The missing two, one is Mo Gan Yun, rumoured to be heaven level, with clear innate meridians. His hands and feet are all equipped with Wushuang Blades. His innate meridians are naturally thick and resilient, and his muscles and veins are naturally suited to weapons. Once he has cultivated to a certain point, he will become an enemy of tens of thousands, pushing through battlefields of that sort."

While saying this, Li Changkong should have been in high spirits, yet his current mood seemed somewhat listless and unsettled.

"Damn!"

The other three instructors were shocked, then their faces lit up with joy.

Such a talent, in all the years they’d been teaching students, they’d only encountered five. And those five didn’t hold a candle to Mo Gan Yun.

Because behind Mo Gan Yun stood the entire Mo Family as support!

Endless high-level or supreme resources for cultivation.

And Mo Gan Yun was just laying his foundation—or rather, the Mo Family had started laying his foundation from the time his mother was pregnant.

They ensured the best supply from every aspect.

Making sure the child was nurtured especially for Divine Sense, physique, meridians, muscles and veins, bones...even the coordination of his limbs.

Such foundational work, beginning with pregnancy, would continue until causing a breakthrough to the Innate Grandmaster rank.

This was the influence of an aristocratic family.

Rife with absolute unfairness—for instance, a commoner’s child, from birth to reaching the Grandmaster level, all costs and consumption added up might not even match the value of a single bowl of porridge a child from a great family consumed while in the womb!

The reason Mo Gan Yun’s current level seemed not too high was deliberate: build steadily and solidify the foundation!

Perfectly crafting a base that would one day become a towering skyscraper!

That was the difference between geniuses and geniuses.

In the early stages of cultivation, some children indeed progress very quickly, even more rapidly than those from aristocratic families. But too many such children will suddenly hit a bottleneck after reaching a certain high level, and abruptly find themselves unable to advance any further.

The reason is only one: their foundation is exhausted.

But the prodigies of the aristocratic families can still maintain a steady pace, ascending to high positions with a very composed posture.

Here’s an analogy that everyone can understand: during the school period, countless children from ordinary families stand out. But once their school careers end and they step into society, their development is vastly different from that of children from wealthy and influential families... Yes, that is the foundation!

Unfair?

Fair?

So the three instructors immediately realized Mo Gan Yun’s tremendous potential!

"He has the prospect of making it to the Cloud Weapon List!"

Bao Feiyu whispered these words.

The others all nodded silently.

Although they couldn’t be certain of specifics, as long as Mo Gan Yun didn’t die young, his future place in the top hundred of the Cloud Weapon List was almost assured.

The three of them were utterly shocked.

Looking at Li Changkong again, however, they found that the old man’s face was still lost in thought, as if his spirit was wandering beyond the heavens.

There wasn’t the slightest expression of surprise or shock to be seen.

"What’s wrong?"

Bing Shangxue furrowed her brow and asked, "...Right, there’s one more, isn’t there?"

The others also quickly remembered.

Right, there’s one more, isn’t there?

They had only mentioned Mo Gan Yun so far.

What about the other?

"The other..."

Li Changkong, with a look of shock in his eyes, said, "Is Fang Che."

"Yes, the first place winner of the new students’ competition." Bing Shangxue nodded, "How is he?"

Li Changkong swallowed hard, "I don’t know what grade his talent is."

"Huh?" The three were puzzled at the same time.

"Because his talent has broken through the upper limit of Yulong Tower’s twelve floors, and by a lot!"

Li Changkong’s lips were a bit dry, "You should understand what that means!"

"..."

The three stood with their mouths open in silence.

In the quiet space, all that could be heard was their own hearts pounding fiercely!

Just hearing about Mo Gan Yun was already almost more than they could bear.

Because this was a chance to make history.

As their disciple soared to the skies, they, as instructors, would surely become known throughout history!

And now you’re telling me, there’s someone even more formidable than Mo Gan Yun.

And this person is Fang Che!

"To put it simply, whether you and I, the four of us, will be remembered fondly in history or cursed for millennia, it all hinges on these two students!"

Li Changkong forced a bitter smile, "But whether it’s eternal fame or infamy, we are destined to enter the history books. My colleagues!"

The three of them smiled wryly together.

Complex expressions covered their faces.

"No wonder the Martial Arts Academy directly appointed us four..."

Duan Zhongliu sighed.

The four were Gold Medal Instructors, and for many years at Baiyun Martial Academy, no one could match their teaching level. The students they taught had outstanding prospects and stood above their peers!

They could surely be said to belong to the first echelon, standing at the peak of the pyramid amongst instructors.

Li Changkong slowly said, "You are all aware of Fang Che’s past deeds and have seen them; you should still have an impression. So you should understand what I’m saying."

"Indeed."

Bing Shangxue was a woman with a beautiful face showing concern.

"Fang Che’s actions in Bibo City, including how he silently, and without a trace, left his bodyguard martial master crippled and unable to care for himself, as well as his schemes to annex the Su Family’s property, wipe out the entire Su Family, and even gain the title of ’Righteous Young Master Fang’... All these matters, the public opinion that rose in Bibo City, as well as these arrangements that stop at nothing to achieve a goal..."

"All of these events carry a strong sense of a sinister path when seen together."

"We’ve even been suspecting whether Fang Che is already a person of the sinister path."

"Moreover, with the Su Family’s main forces vanishing so mysteriously, I suspect it has to do with Fang Che. After all, intelligence shows that during the days the Su Family vanished, Fang Che once went out alone for three days."

"At that time, Fang Che was a nobody, and no one paid attention to where he went. When he returned, he was dragging a deer behind him."

"And a few days later, news of the Su Family’s collective disappearance was released."

"And intelligence indicates that the Su Family’s main forces went out on the same evening that Fang Che left."

Bing Shangxue’s brow furrowed slightly, "Boss, this is a troublesome hot potato."

"If Fang Che has no issues, we can confidently guide him onto the right path, and he will certainly achieve incredible things. But if there’s something wrong with Fang Che, then it would mean that we are using resources from the Baiyun Martial Academy to fully cultivate a future formidable enemy! Moreover, one who potentially could reach the status of Old Duan’s own house. This isn’t just about infamy anymore; it’s like digging graves for the entire continent!"

Old Duan’s own house.

That is naturally the White Bone Shattering Dream Spear, Duan Xiyang.

All three frowned at the same time.

What Bing Shangxue said was absolutely correct.

This was exactly the situation now.

"What do you think, boss?"

Duan Zhongliu asked.
