Chapter 139: Chapter 125: Rankings (Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch lztmty)_2

"The sword name —— Dragon Evil, crafted mainly using the Evil Eye Dragon Clan as the material!"

Gu Zhen’s hands were as white as jade, with nails trimmed very short, the palms of a true master swordsman.

But at this moment, as he slowly drew Dragon Evil, Fang Xing could see dark blue veins protruding on his palms, wriggling like earthworms.

Clang!

The Dragon Evil Sword was unsheathed!

Fang Xing’s eyes briefly glazed over, as if a dragon-like demon creature materialized before him.

Covered in pitch-black claws, its eyes were blood-red vertical pupils, from which dark red rays surged forth.

"Hmm? Such strong spiritual contamination... And this hasn’t surpassed the limits of the Outer Realm?"

Fang Xing’s brow furrowed, and then he invigorated his blood and qi. His bones cracked loudly, and he donned a layer of Golden Threaded Robe, accompanied by the sounds of Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar.

——Dragon Tiger Domain!

Clang!

The sword cry sounded again, a slash of pitch-black brilliance like a Moon Blade, stabbing into the Dragon Tiger Domain.

A sudden stabbing pain arose in Fang Xing’s brow as if his Domain had been torn open!

Then, a series of astonishing Sword Qi followed that tear, pouring out like a breached dam!

Whirl!

Countless Sword Qi hit his Golden Silk Jade Robe, exploding on impact like monstrous waves crashing against a millennia-old reef, dissipating without a trace.

Amid the storm of Sword Qi, a pitch-black sword light abruptly emerged.

Like a venomous dragon, it found a flaw in Fang Xing’s movement of qi and launched a cold glimmer turned into a shooting star!

Fang Xing’s expression remained unchanged as he extended his right hand.

His palm emanated a faint golden light, moving seemingly slow but actually fast, striking the midst of the sword light, hitting the blade of Dragon Evil!

The sword light scattered, and Gu Zhen’s expression didn’t change in the slightest as he slashed again.

A clear bolt of lightning flashed across the clear sky, with thunder rumbling above.

This sword was like pitch-black lightning falling from the heavens.

The blood-red eye on Dragon Evil Sword flickered wildly.

Whoosh!

The Sword Shadow fell but struck nothing.

"Dancing Sky Steps? Impossible... How could you dodge Dragon Evil Sword’s Spiritual Shock?"

Gu Zhen’s face was filled with disbelief. He had already unleashed all the sword cries of Dragon Evil Sword. Its contamination and sluggishness, even he could only remain unaffected after being tempered by the ’Fire Sword Road’.

But Fang Xing had already moved behind him, fists flying out.

Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power, quadruple amplification!

Bang!

Gu Zhen’s Domain was torn apart, his upper body vanishing from sight.

"This sword is indeed sinister, but alas, you’ve encountered my supreme Martial Arts Will."

Fang Xing snorted coldly. In truth, he had been taken aback by that thunderous strike, but with the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’ anchoring his Sea of Consciousness, he managed to quickly devise a counter.

After all, any direct attack targeting his Sea of Consciousness was futile!

When a swordsman’s strike misses, death is usually not far behind.

This is the tightrope walk of a Martial Arts master’s duel, with victory and defeat separated by a hair’s breadth.

Fang Xing quietly sighed, only to find his body ’refreshed’, back to peak condition. He smiled slightly and looked towards the next opponent...

...

"Ha ha ha..."

Pan Xiong, watching the battle broadcast, couldn’t hide the smile on his face as he turned to Yin Hongding next to him, "See, I told you my eye for talent was better than yours, and you didn’t believe me. Now Fang Xing is ranked ninth on the battle rankings. Although it doesn’t rank Golden Cores, it proves something. Where is Gu Jiantong, whom you favored so much? Where is he?"

Yin Hongding’s face showed a bit of embarrassment, but he didn’t let it show: "I’ve never denied Fang Xing’s talent; I just thought it would be difficult for him to break through to Martial Arts Golden Core within the remaining nine years of university..."

"Then, how about a bet? A small bet, whether my student can stay in the top ten today... A large bet, whether he can form a Martial Arts Golden Core within the next nine years."

Pan Xiong narrowed his eyes, suddenly speaking up.

"No bet."

Yin Hongding shook his head, "Your student has already secured the ninth place firmly; aside from Gu Zhen, not one of the challengers from the top three institutions is worth mentioning..."

"Then, bet whether he can obtain the Golden Core during his university years," Pan Xiong suggested again.

"Still no bet," Yin Hongding continued to decline.

"Why not? I’ve been eyeing your piece of ’Nine Heavens Gold Essence’ for a long time now, give me a chance... I can wager three chances to comprehend a Cosmic Secret Realm against it!" Pan Xiong said with a teasing grin.

"I don’t bet, because if I don’t bet, I can’t possibly lose!"

Yin Hongding suddenly revealed a smile, "Even if Fang Xing succeeded, as a teacher at Blue Star University, I would feel proud of him!"

"You... sigh!" Pan Xiong shook his head speechlessly.

...

"Too weak, too weak!"

Having headshot the last challenger, Fang Xing logged off with a tinge of boredom.

This time’s ten challengers, apart from Gu Zhen, couldn’t exert as much pressure on him as Gu Zhen did, although they were also veteran students from the Outer Realm.

"It seems that geniuses like Gu Zhen have already surpassed many veteran students..."

Fang Xing nodded, then went to sleep.

The next day, early morning.

He logged onto the virtual network and saw a message:

[Fang Xing student, you performed outstandingly on the Battle Platform last month, bringing glory to the school, Blue Star University specially rewards you with 2 academic credits!]

"Only 2? I think the first place got about 10 academic credits..."

Fang Xing sighed, "At least 2 isn’t bad. If I keep this up, in just 50 months, or a little over 4 years, I could gather enough for a bottle of Rejuvenation Water, couldn’t I?"

He got up to wash and prepare for the end-of-year exams.

Fortunately, after advancing in Martial Arts to the Outer Realm, his thinking abilities further strengthened, and he somehow avoided failing any courses, smoothly passing all of them with 6 academic credits.

In the training room.

"This year’s education has ended, and you all performed quite well, especially Fang Xing."

Pan Xiong still had the appearance of a fair-skinned boy with bright teeth, hands clasped behind his back, he commented maturely, "Here, I would like to give special praise to Fang Xing, so not only have you passed your major in Martial Arts, but I’m also awarding you an additional 3 academic credits."

"Thank you, teacher."

Fang Xing expressed his gratitude and quietly calculated that he now had 12 academic credits.

Compared to many veteran students who struggle for a year and still can’t save up 10 academic credits, this was very impressive.

And that was after giving up the student council tasks.

"As for Su Longyan and Ouyang Qiang... you passed your major course exams, and I award each of you an extra academic credit," Pan Xiong said, glancing at the other two students.

"Thank you, teacher!" Su Longyan and Ouyang Qiang quickly gave their thanks, aware of how hard it was to obtain these credits.

If they were to leave university and wanted to get rare materials from the Treasure Vault, that would mean fighting with their lives on the battlefield.

Or they would have to sign stringent contracts and sell themselves to major powers.

Thus, every university student was working hard, striving to achieve greater success while still in university.

"All right, remember to balance work and rest in addition to training. Arrange your own summer holidays," Pan Xiong waved his hand and left the training room.

"The holidays have started?"

Su Longyan found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Yeah, how do you plan to spend this summer vacation?" Fang Xing suddenly appeared beside Su Longyan with a grin, "Do you want me to give you some pointers?"

He remembered the first time he took action; it was her face that he had wiped out.

Maybe the nickname of this face-slapping lunatic started spreading from her.

"No, no need!"

Su Longyan, frightened, looked towards Ouyang Qiang for help.

"And you, Ouyang student?" Fang Xing looked at Ouyang Qiang.

"Continue with the grueling practice, or maybe take a look at the Wan Ling Catalog..."

Ouyang Qiang replied calmly.

Most of them were students from average backgrounds; they couldn’t just take a spacecraft home at any time, so they spent most of their winter and summer breaks on Blue Star.

"Well, see you next academic year."

Fang Xing didn’t really have anywhere he wanted to go, so he planned to stay in his dorm and make use of the university’s resources.

Meanwhile...

He could devote more of his attention to the Cultivation World.
