Chapter 137: Chapter 124: Challenge (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"But it doesn’t matter... As the top freshman, you are still bound to lose to me."

Li Wei said, "Do you feel as if your throat is on fire? As soon as the venue was confirmed, I secretly set up the ’Burning Fire Poison,’ you..."

Before he could finish, he saw Fang Xing leap forward, his body soaring like he was flying, and land right in front of him.

"Body Flight... no, have you broken through to the Outer Realm?"

Li Wei was shocked; the two pitch-black daggers in his hand flicked like venomous snake tongues in a final struggle.

Snap!

The next moment, Fang Xing raised his right hand and chopped it down.

The two daggers flew up high, and the golden glowing palm hardly paused before slapping him across the face, distorting his facial features severely...

"Ah! My nerves!"

Li Wei was kicked out of the Battle Platform, touching his face with some lingering fear.

"It turns out Fang Xing has already reached the Outer Realm; the Burning Fire Poison isn’t very effective on him... The Mixed Poison on me is the same."

Outer Realm powerhouses can wrap themselves with Domain Power, much to the dislike of Pharmacists.

Moreover, this is the Virtual Space; no matter how deeply poisoned, as long as you swiftly kill his opponent, you can pass the level and then your body status gets refreshed...

"But next time won’t be so simple. I still lack a bit in concocting a poison that can destroy Domains..."

Li Wei prepared to go to the virtual lab, working on a new toxin he had in mind.

What he loved most about Virtual Space was that he could experiment freely without worrying about killing someone or himself.

Of course, the crucial aspect was the cost of raw materials for creating toxins was very expensive, but here in Virtual Space, they were as cheap as cabbage.

He could perfectly refine his skills here before dealing with them in the real world.

Who knows how many resources he saved!

Right then, he heard two girls discussing nearby: "Did you also encounter that face-slapping maniac?"

"Yeah, that guy is so fierce. He starts by hitting the face, so rude."

"I heard he’s a freshman from the Martial Arts department at Blue Star University. When he enrolled, he was even more brutal, totally knocked a girl’s face off..."

"That girl even became his junior later. I wonder if she has nightmares at night..."

"Face-slapping maniac, horrifying indeed!"

...

Li Wei checked and found that in just this short time, Fang Xing had already started a rapid winning streak.

But this was normal; a single Outer Realm Martial Artist in this Virtual Space’s Battle Platform is definitely an expert.

It’s just that habit and bad taste...

"Face-slapping maniac Fang Xing..."

Li Wei touched his cheek.

Although he knew it was an illusion, it still felt a bit painful...

...

Unaware of the outside world, Fang Xing was immersed in the Battle Platform, familiarizing himself with the power after reaching the Outer Realm.

His initial opponents were all weaklings, he disposed of them one-by-one with a casual punch or palm strike.

Only after climbing into the top ten thousand did the competition get somewhat noteworthy.

"Hm?"

Fang Xing opened his eyes and startled a bit at seeing a new enemy.

"Boss..."

Across from him, Song Jingang happily waved: "Boss, I heard you broke through to the Outer Realm and were furiously climbing the Battle Platform rankings, so I logged on immediately... I didn’t think it would take so long to match with you..."

"Hm, your timing is perfect, let me test how strong the strongest defense in the Courage Realm is."

Fang Xing nodded, casually gripping and forming a dazzling blade light in his hand, transforming into a greenish long sword.

This was a deeper utilization of Domain Power and Outer Realm True Qi after advancing to the Outer Realm.

"Okay, but boss, let’s agree, don’t hit my face!"

Song Jingang hurriedly said.

"What do you mean ’don’t hit the face’?"

Fang Xing was a bit mystified.

"Boss, didn’t you know? Your nickname has already spread outside, they’re calling you the face-slapping maniac..."

Song Jingang’s voice dwindled as he spoke.

"Face-slapping maniac?"

Fang Xing’s expression darkened, and the green sword, swift as thunder, instantly cleaved through Song Jingang’s Vajra Body defense.

"Ah! Boss... it wasn’t me who shouted that!"

Song Jingang’s body shone like a cracked eggshell, a look of grievance still on his face.

Then...

He saw a golden palm descending from the sky...

’Face-slapping maniac, truly as rumored.’

Before descending into darkness, that was the only thought in Song Jingang’s mind.

Fang Xing, with a dark expression, exited the Battle Platform and checked online, indeed he saw numerous comments.

"Sigh... damaged reputation, oh well."

He hastily instructed Little Blue to log off directly, leaving the gathered crowd with no drama to feast on, only to leave frustrated.

"Made it into the top ten thousand today... Two more days, and I should make it into the top hundred. End of the month’s challenge spot is secure."

In the following two days, Fang Xing continued to focus on clearing the Battle Platform, ignoring the uproar outside.

It was rather unexpected for the freshmen of the Martial Arts department that this silent cultivator, who had been quietly training since enrollment, was now catching up rapidly.

Fang Xing did not disappoint, making it to rank sixty-six before the month’s end, successfully securing a challenge spot.

Soon, it was the end of the month again.

Gu Jiantong couldn’t wait to enter the Virtual Cabin and arrived at the Blue Star community.

"The moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived, the end-of-the-month Challenge Match!"

Around the Battle Platform, students from various universities had already gathered, all looking up at the screens on all sides of the platform.

Through these interfaces, they could watch any battle.

"There’s no need to say, Dark Star will definitely win the championship again."

"I’m more optimistic about Luo Kai, it’s said that he has completed a major upgrade of his own Mecha, creating a weapon module in the virtual machinery factory that is powerful enough to annihilate Outer Realm Martial Artists..."

"What are those compared to? Our President Huyan is the best... at least he’s quite a feast for the eyes."

...

Many students logged in to watch the games, passionately cheered for their favorite experts.

Gu Jiantong slightly narrowed his eyes when he saw his own ranking: "One hundred and eight... Damn it, if I were an Outer Realm, I would have fought my way up."

Even he had to admit that Fang Xing, the slap-in-the-face madman, was indeed awesome, especially in terms of Cultivation Breakthrough!

Although his Domain had already been established, the Spiritual Power in his Mud Pill Palace was still slightly lacking.

Moreover, he was still contemplating which Martial Arts combined with light would be the best path for him in the future.

So, he planned to make a Breakthrough after the school year ended.

Little did he know that Fang Xing had quietly achieved it.

Even so, Gu Jiantong did not rashly make a Breakthrough but decided to push forward with his own strength.

Alas, with too many geniuses from the top three universities and many old students among them, his disadvantage lay in his Realm. He was still at the Domain of Courage, sadly ranking beyond one hundred, so today he could only be an observer.

"Gu classmate..."

At that moment, someone greeted him with a warm smile.

"Oh, it’s Yin Haizhen..."

Gu Jiantong nodded; he still had some impression of this classmate who could handle a few of his moves.

"Among the top-ranking Battle List, basically all are Outer Realm levels; it’s very difficult for us to get a foothold in there..."

Yin Haizhen suddenly asked, "Who do you think Fang Xing will challenge?"

"If it were me, I would go straight for Dark Star!" Gu Jiantong raised his eyebrows, "Huyan Qiushui is weak as women, Luo Kai only relies on the advantage of his Mecha... Only Dark Star’s sword could stir up my interest in a fight... Of course, Dark Star is too strong, but Gu Zhen is also okay... He lost last time and will definitely aim for the top ten this time!"

What bothered Gu Jiantong the most was that during the high-stakes examination, he had essentially lost to two people.

One was Fang Xing, and the other was Gu Zhen!

Being a prideful person, although he was merciless in his words, he still acknowledged in his heart that these two were his true rivals.

Both of his major rivals would be participating this time, so naturally, he couldn’t wait.

...

Inside the Battle Platform.

Fang Xing sat in his own rest area, watching the battle board, "Hmm... the top ten must accept ten challenges today, no more, no less... which one should I pick?"

He glanced at the young-looking Dark Star, the burly Mecha Master Luo Kai, and then at Huyan Qiushui, who had autumn-water-like eyes and a tall, slender figure, and smiled.

"Huyan Qiushui is still the president of the student council, and indeed not bad looking..."

His finger slid to the ninth rank.

"I’m not a fool, just entered the Outer Realm and challenge the Outer Realm Peak..."

"Being ranked tenth is like a soft persimmon, facing too many challenges, too troublesome... Ninth is just right."

Ranked ninth on the Battle List was Wu Lie, from Holy Armor University, a Mecha Master!

’According to the categorization in Virtual Space, this Wu Lie is a Fifth Rank Mecha Master, which means wearing a Mecha he can rival an Outer Realm Martial Artist... It should be interesting to see.’

Fang Xing summoned the battle invitation button and clicked send.

Soon after, he saw Wu Lie accept his challenge.

"Hmm, there are still three matches ahead of me... I hope nothing unexpected happens."

If Wu Lie lost, he would automatically give up his position, and the previous battle board would naturally be voided.

Fang Xing then waited another half an hour when a notification sound suddenly emerged in his ear.

A smile appeared on his face as his figure shifted.

When he reappeared, he was already above a city ruin.

He stood on the top of a tall building, looking at Wu Lie who was standing on the top of another tall building not far away.

Wu Lie was completely enveloped in a dark Mecha, only his face under the face mask visible, which looked dark-skinned with a pair of blue eyes.

"Fang Xing, do you know why I chose you?"

He moved the Mecha slightly, making a sound.

"Because I’m a newcomer and easy to bully?"

Fang Xing guessed as he responded.

"No... because you, this face-slapping madman, even made a move on my sister before, I promised her that I would teach you a lesson if I got the chance!"

Wu Lie roared, and immediately two guns appeared on the arms of the Mecha, "Eat my bullets!"

Da Da!

Da Da!

Tongues of fire danced wildly, creating a metal barrage storm sweeping over where Fang Xing was, only to futilely hit the concrete wall.

Ta Ta!

Fang Xing leapt up, his figure making nine bends mid-air like a dragon, constantly closing in on Wu Lie.

"Dancing Sky Steps?"

A large amount of data flashed in front of Wu Lie, the Mecha’s built-in intelligence calculating Fang Xing’s trajectory.

"Don’t think you’re the only one who can fly!"

Flames ejected from beneath him, the dark Mecha like the winged grim reaper, soaring into the sky!
