Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Battle (Requesting Recommendations)

"Off-campus internship... tsk tsk, truly fitting for a natural person residing in the splendid Jiang Mansion, it’s not just about money, but connections as well."

Fang Xing removed his holographic glasses, feeling quite emotional.

Although previously he and Liu Wei mocked the Gu Family for being an average-income household, in reality, on Chuying Star, the Gu family’s financial situation was indeed considered quite good, and Gu Renwang was even a real "Professional"!

Strictly speaking, Gu Yun’s family was much stronger than those of Fang Xing’s former classmates.

"This off-campus internship is facilitated by the school, and it was the original workplace of Gu Renwang who coordinated it, offering Gu Yun a work-study opportunity that actually involves caring for the orphan of a martyr... with good pay, little work, and close to home. Indeed, not bad."

Fang Xing contemplated a bit.

Even so, he still looked down on it!

Alas... character setting is very important!

The Fang Xing who possessed resources from the Otherworld looked down on this, but the original ’Fang Xing’ would definitely appreciate it!

"Might as well stick with the gang and get some legal Star Coins, and I don’t even need to launder money..."

After thinking for a moment, he eventually made his decision.

This was also to expand his network here, as Gu Yun’s background was at least much better than his own.

Fang Xing’s Martial Arts mainly depended on the Blue Star Federation, so he couldn’t neglect operations in this area.

...

The next day.

Fang Xing left his house early in the morning and went to school.

On the road, he still saw Jing Xia doing his morning training.

This made him sigh inwardly; unless Jing Xia lived nearby, wandering around this area daily obviously had an ulterior motive.

It might even be a deliberate move to investigate something.

Besides Yucai High School in this area, there was only the residential area for teachers and students, which lacked more conspicuous targets.

"Morning!"

Even so, he maintained his usual demeanor and greeted him.

"Morning!"

Jing Xia nodded, walking past with his bully dog.

...

Time flew by.

Before he knew it, Saturday had arrived.

Splendid Jiang Mansion, the villa’s training ground.

Fang Xing and Gu Yun, dressed in training attire, stood facing each other.

"This time, I won’t hold back again."

Gu Yun’s little face was serious, treating Fang Xing as a true opponent.

She held a shiny wooden saber, and without any weight on her body, she could use her full strength.

"Sure, feel free!"

Fang Xing stood on the wooden rack at the training grounds and picked a wooden saber, "I forgot to tell you, I’ve mastered the Ghost God Saber."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun’s fighting spirit intensified, "You’ve been hiding your skill? You clearly haven’t learned the Demon Blade..."

"You don’t need to learn the Demon Blade to master the Ghost God Saber, perhaps I just have a talent for this saber technique."

Fang Xing said softly, "You make the move first..."

"Okay!"

Gu Yun responded, and as her voice fell, a wooden saber cut through the air, arriving in front of Fang Xing as if following the sound.

"The saber follows the sound, that’s still a move from the Demon Blade..."

Fang Xing smiled slightly, tilted his body to the side, holding the saber in his right hand, and lightly flicked the body of Gu Yun’s wooden saber with the thumb and middle finger of his left hand.

Clang!

Amid the dull impact, Gu Yun’s figure floated like duckweed, swaying with the wind, her face filled with surprise, "Your realm?"

"We’re both Refining Muscle, but I might still be slightly ahead of you, being a few years older..."

Fang Xing maintained his smile.

Now, with his realm and saber technique both surpassing Gu Yun, coupled with his rich combat experience, he could easily outmatch her.

After all, with Martial Arts, a slight superiority in realm could make a world of difference in actual combat.

"I don’t believe it!"

In the next instant, Gu Yun’s eyes deepened, appearing both godlike and demonic, her wooden saber seemingly merging with the wind.

"Ghost God Saber!"

Fang Xing’s expression became a bit more solemn, sensing the opponent’s Simulation Realm.

Cultivating Spirit Martial Arts would ultimately enhance the spirit and even lead to a qualitative change in the spirit, generating "Spiritual Power"!

This is the greatest difference between the Martial Arts Fourth Realm Courage and the Third Realm Rough Jade!

In Fang Xing’s view, the innate masters of the Otherworld had already found their path, which was Spirit Martial Arts!

If Spirit Martial Arts were further elevated, causing a qualitative change in one’s spirit and mastering ’Spiritual Power’, perhaps it might be possible to break through the innate realm and beyond!

A-grade Martial Arts could cause a slight qualitative change in the spirit of a Second Realm Martial Artist, truly laying the best foundation for a future breakthrough to the Fourth Realm!

"Federation Martial Arts, a complete system, interconnected and quite mature..."

"Is this the power of time and the collective? If a person, however brilliant, starts a new path on his own, it will surely be imperfect with many flaws..."

"Martial Arts is so, and so is the Immortal Path..."

Fang Xing reflected in his heart, but his movements were not slow, his wooden sword horizontal, a blade glow emerged along with it.

Swoosh, swoosh!

The two wooden swords crossed, their blade glows clashing, actually bursting out with a terrifying explosion-like sound.

It was as if both were holding not wooden swords, but some kind of divine weapon!

"Impossible!"

Compared to Fang Xing, Gu Yun was even more astonished.

It wasn’t just that Fang Xing had mastered the Ghost God Saber during one summer vacation, but also because the blade glow from his wooden sword was actually half an inch longer than hers!

This meant that his cultivation in the Ghost God Saber was even deeper than hers!

But clearly, Fang Xing’s information on the Ghost God Saber was from her.

How could he now be better than her?

A determined look appeared on Gu Yun’s face as she raised her wooden sword high, "Slaying Ghost!"

With one slash, the blade glow overflowed, its might astonishingly powerful.

Fang Xing likewise swung out a slash, carrying an unstoppable, Unbreakable sentiment.

The next moment, the two figures crossed past each other.

Then, the wooden sword in Gu Yun’s hand broke from the middle, the broken surface smooth as a mirror.

"I’ve lost..."

Gu Yun muttered.

"Winning and losing are common in battle, I lost to you several times before."

Fang Xing said with a smile as he put down his wooden sword.

"Indeed, going to high school was the right decision, there are more goals worth chasing."

Gu Yun took a deep breath, "Since I’ve lost, I’ll keep the promise and take you on the school internship."

"Wait, I won’t do dangerous things."

Fang Xing said quickly, remembering something.

He now had a bright future ahead and would not risk his life.

"Don’t worry, if it’s dangerous, my uncles and aunts wouldn’t want me taking the risk either," Gu Yun seemed to roll his eyes.

"That’s good..."

Fang Xing was unabashedly relieved, "How about treating me to a meal now, I’m getting hungry..."

"That’s not convenient."

Gu Yun refused directly, "You can leave now, I’ll call you when the work starts."

’Ah, this junior sister still doesn’t know how to socialize...’

Fang Xing shook his head, walking out of the villa.

As he left, he caught a glimpse of a figure on the second floor from the corner of his eye.

’Oh, that might be Gu Yun’s mom...’

’Although Gu Renwang is gone, her mom still looks after her...’

’No matter what, it’s the bioengineered people who are the most pitiable...’

With that thought, Fang Xing didn’t feel like teasing Gu Yun any further and simply left.

...

After returning to Happy Home District, Fang Xing received a message containing details about the off-campus internship.

"I thought it was fieldwork, but it turns out to be an office job... Faith Theory Department? Does the Federation even have this department?"

Fang Xing searched online for this department and was a bit shocked, "It belongs to the Prevention and Control Bureau, responsible for reviewing some alien scripts and other artifacts to prevent contamination from spreading..."

"Due to the potential dangers, only Martial Artists who have mastered an A-level Martial Arts can apply for this government job... this is actually just right, since Gu Yun and I have both mastered the Ghost God Saber, we’re not afraid of typical mental contamination... But still, isn’t this job too important?"

As everyone knows, plans for the Outer Realm Evil God to descend have never succeeded.

But, numerous sects have developed among humanity, surely some promoting their doctrines or similar matters.

Besides that, there are also interactions with many alien races.

Perhaps some alien race looks perfectly normal, but behind the scenes, they already worship an Outer Realm Evil God, even hiding ritual and sacrificial information within various cultural artifacts, flooding them into Human Clan territories...

These kinds of incidents, if not cautious, can cause great chaos, as seen many times in Federation history.

"More importantly... can I even do this job? Isn’t there a qualification screening?"

Fang Xing thought for a moment then directly called Gu Yun to express his doubts.

"Oh? That one... don’t worry, it’s arranged by an aunt who took good care of me. She wouldn’t give us real work, just fetching tea and running errands..."

Gu Yun responded nonchalantly, "Just show up for two hours each day, you’ll get a good salary and the school considers it an excellent experience..."

’Damn, a real hustler...’

Fang Xing cursed silently.

This kind of maneuvering within the rules had always nothing to do with the bioengineered community.

"It sounds acceptable..."

Fang Xing nodded slightly, it fit perfectly with his principle of earning easy money close to home.

Plus, the money earned was clean, no need for laundering.

’Alas, ever since the last lottery winnings were all spent on nutrient fluid, my living expenses are running low again, doesn’t look like the scholarship will arrive soon, I genuinely need a legitimate source of income... after all, I can’t keep winning the lottery a few times, can I?’

Fang Xing reflected inwardly.

"Okay, mom’s calling me for dinner, we’ll talk later." Gu Yun looked a bit impatient as she ended the call.
