Chapter 454: The exchange group
Just as Fang ping was in closed-door cultivation.
On the highway from the capital to Shanghai, a large bus was moving at high speed.
There were more than ten people in the car, men and women, young and old.
At this moment, a chubby young man in the front row turned his head to look at the girl behind him and said with a smile,""Susu, when we get to Shanghai, let"s go out and have some fun. I"ve been bored to death all these years.
Shanghai is the most prosperous place in China ..."
The girl in the back row had her hair in a ponytail. She looked young and pet.i.te, but her chest was full.
If Fang ping was here, he would probably use Ling Yiyi as a comparison.
They were all about the same height, but look at how they grew?
The girl named susu blinked and shook her head.""No, we"re going to compare notes on martial arts."
"Sparring isn"t important. It doesn"t matter if we win or lose ..." The chubby young man said indifferently.
"Jiang Chao!"
Before the fatty could finish, a young man behind him said coldly,""Who told you that winning or losing isn"t important? If you have such thoughts, then don"t go, or you"ll embarra.s.s us!"
When fatty Jiang Chao heard the man say this, he pursed his lips and said,""If I can"t win, what do you want me to do? "Mcmau"s instructors have all fought in the catacombs before ..."
As he spoke, Jiang Chao continued,"yes, we"ve also fought in the catacombs before ... There"s a rank-8 on the side to help you keep an eye on them. When we"re rank-6s fighting rank-5s, we still have to think of someone to support us ... Anyway, I don"t think I can win against those desperadoes.
What if you get killed in the ring?"
The young man"s face trembled as he gritted his teeth and said,""We haven"t even started, and you already know that we"re going to lose? It"s because there are too many trash like you that we"re being looked down upon!"
Jiang Chao said lazily,"Li Fei, don"t blame everything on me." "Also, I"m not the one who suggested going to mcmau to find someone to spar with. I"m not thinking of going to mcmau to pick a fight anyway.
If he wanted to be a spoiled second generation, then he should just be a spoiled second generation. If he insisted on showing off, what would he do if he got beaten up?
"I"ve heard that those guys from martial arts universities are not to be trifled with ... No, they"re usually easy to deal with, but those from mcmau are not.
"Last time, those grandmasters from mcmau flew straight to capital city to fight. Rank-8s wanted to fight peak-level powerhouses ...
"If I"d known earlier, I would have just gone to ccmau directly. Why did you have to go to mcmau? they don"t care who your ancestors are."
"You!"
The two of them were about to argue when the short girl said unhappily,""Alright, alright, you"re always arguing, you"re so annoying! And pudgy Jiang, you"re not allowed to say that you can"t beat him or that you"re admitting defeat! I"m going to get angry if you continue!
How do you know you can"t beat him if you haven"t fought him?
Perhaps they aren"t very strong. We all have our own ultimate techniques, which are all top-notch combat techniques created by our ancestors.
Also, our weapons and armors are the best. We"ll only know after we fight, right?"
Jiang Chao said lazily,"it"s up to you guys. And this Youth Compet.i.tion ... Why do you want us to partic.i.p.ate?!" d.a.m.n it, so annoying!"
Jiang Chao complained,""I don"t want to partic.i.p.ate at all. I just want to eat and wait for death."
"Useless fellow!"
Li Fei snorted and said coldly,"if you can"t reach rank-8, it"ll be hard for you to live a good life and wait for death!" "If that day really comes, even if you can run, you"re a rank-6. If you can"t find a place to rest, you"ll have to stay in the s.p.a.ce capsule for the rest of your life!
"At rank-8, even if you run, you can at least get out of the s.p.a.ce capsule ..."
Jiang Chao yawned and said,"let"s talk about whether I run or not. I just want to enjoy it first. It"s fine even if I don"t run. If they really come, I"ll stuff myself to death. I"ll die with a great feeling."
The faces of everyone in the car were filled with black lines. This guy ... He was so unambitious that he had reached his limit!
Li Fei ignored him as well. Su Zisu, however, was displeased. "You"re nothing like brother Jiang. You"re such a disgrace to your brother!"
Jiang Chao said unhappily,"can you not mention him? susu, don"t even think about that guy. He"s a pervert. He kills people for fun." "I heard that this time, he tortured and killed a female high-rank rank-7 over there. It was especially brutal ..."
"Anyone who kills the catacombs martial artists is a hero!" Su Zisu retorted immediately and was a little annoyed.
Jiang Chao cursed,"if he wants to be killed, then so be it. Just torture him, understand? this guy is really perverted. He"ll be hacked to death sooner or later."
"I won "t!"
"Then let"s wait and see." Jiang Chao pouted and continued,"by the way, Li Fei, if you"re so good, why don"t you go over there?"
"I"ll go there sooner or later!"Li Fei snorted.
"Come on! How many years have you been saying this? If you"re afraid of death, then so be it. Why do you have to pretend to be a good man? I despise people like you the most. "
Jiang Chao said disdainfully, then chuckled and looked at a young man sitting in the back row who hadn"t spoken all this time. He squinted his eyes and said,""Zheng nanqi, I heard that your distant uncle is Grandmaster Zheng. He was beaten up by mcmau"s Vice-Chancellor previously. Are you going to take revenge this time?"
In the back row, the young man in Black clothes looked away from the window and turned his head to look at Jiang Chao. He said indifferently,""Do you think I"ll seek revenge from a rank-8 Grandmaster?"
"I"m not talking about mcmau"s Vice-Chancellor, I"m talking about that ... That Fang ping. I heard that this guy is very arrogant. That distant uncle of yours has been completely dominated by him. Should we go and F * ck him up this time?"
Zheng nanqi frowned."He"s only a rank-5. Besides, Grandmaster Zheng Minghong"s relations.h.i.+p with my family is already very distant. Why should I take revenge?"
"He"s known to have killed a peak rank-6 before. Don"t you want to test his skills? "To be honest, I"m a little vague about the instructors, but these martial arts university students are younger than me. I really don"t care about them."
Jiang Chao chuckled."It"s just that there aren"t any rank-6 martial arts university students. Otherwise, I"d just challenge the students one-on-one. I"m not afraid! How old were they? even if they had entered the catacombs, how many times had they entered? How powerful could he be?
No matter how little blood we"ve seen, with our Foundation here, our experience might not be worse than theirs. That"s what makes it interesting.
Looking for those teachers who have killed countless people, sigh, the more I think about it, the more pessimistic I am. "
As these few people were talking, a middle-aged man who had been silent all this time laughed and said,""Jiang Chao, don"t underestimate the martial arts university students. "Other people aside, the Fang ping you"re talking about, to be able to rank first on the rank-5 ranking list, is not an undeserved reputation.
"When you go to mcmau, try not to find trouble with him. This kid"s temper is not very good ..."
"Bad temper?"
Jiang Chao was instantly amused."Don"t tell me he still dares to hit me?" he said.
Minister w.a.n.g looked at him for a moment, and said,""As long as he didn"t kill you ... Then it"s fine. He"s a rank-5 martial artist, and he beat you half to death. No matter how much senior Jiang protects you, it"s not to this extent."
Jiang Chao mumbled,"Minister w.a.n.g, I don"t like what you"re saying. I didn"t say that I"m counting on my ancestors. What I"m saying is, I"m a middle-stage rank-6 martial artist. Why would I be afraid of a rank-5? What are you thinking?"
Minister w.a.n.g looked at him and saw that the others were also looking at him. He thought for a moment and said,""It was your idea to go to mcmau for a spar, so we"ll follow the rules and have a good spar.
"Mcmau"s instructors are all teachers, role models. As long as you follow the rules, they will not hesitate to give you pointers.
One must know that these instructors were all powerhouses who fought on the front lines. They also had many years of martial arts teaching experience, and they were not comparable to those boorish people from the military department.
Those boorish people could still fight and kill on their own, but they were much worse at giving pointers to others.
However, if you have the intention to pick a fight or have other thoughts, then take it easy.
"It"s true that mcmau doesn"t have any top powerhouses ... However, martial arts universities are under the Education Ministry. Minister Zhang will not allow mcmau to be bullied. Do you all understand what I mean?"
"Minister w.a.n.g, you"re overthinking things," Li Fei said with a frown.
"That"s great. "
Minister w.a.n.g said with a smile,"also, please pay more attention to the youth martial arts compet.i.tion. This martial arts compet.i.tion is not for fun. It"s not meant to be a casual compet.i.tion."
It"s the seniors "idea to let you fight. You"re also the best among us.
"The seniors think that martial arts university students and military department martial artists can"t represent their will. They trust you, their immediate family, and that"s why they let you fight.
However, if we really lose the compet.i.tion ... Everyone, our losses will be disastrous. "
Jiang Chao said disapprovingly,"what"s so bad about it? it"s just a restricted zone spot. I"m not going. It"s fine if I lose it."
Minister w.a.n.g"s mouth twitched, and Li Fei and the others also glared at him.
No big ambitions!
Brainless!
Idiot!
In order to obtain these spots, how great of a price did the old ancestors in front pay?
If he really lost some, he wouldn"t be able to make up for it even if he killed this guy.
Su Zisu"s face was full of dissatisfaction as well. She said angrily,""Pudgy Jiang, you"ll never be able to get me in this lifetime with your pathetic looks!"
Jiang Chao yawned and said,"I didn"t come out much in the past. I didn"t see much of the world. I didn"t see many beautiful women. That"s why I have some thoughts about you." Now that you"re out, I heard that there are beautiful women everywhere in Shanghai. You really think you"re something.
Susu, just don"t be jealous when I get a pretty girl. You don"t think I"m good now, but you"ll know that I"m a rare good man.
When that time comes ... You can go regret it!"
"You ..."
Su Zisu"s face was red with anger. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d was too much!
In the car, the other young men and women also started berating Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao didn"t seem to care. Go ahead and scold, just pretend he didn"t hear anything.
Minister w.a.n.g and the other Grandmaster powerhouse looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
These guys ... Better not cause them any trouble.
As for the compet.i.tion, there was nothing they could do even if they lost. Those seniors had insisted that their descendants fight, so they could only bear the consequences themselves.
On one hand, these seniors wished for the safety of their descendants.
On the other hand, he was unwilling to see his descendants become trash and wanted to train them.
"The catacombs are too dangerous. The other rank-6s are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They"re not young either, so they can"t stimulate these young people.
By organizing the world youth martial arts compet.i.tion and pulling a group of martial artists of similar status, age, and strength to fight, they could more or less gain some experience and be safe.
Even if they were defeated, they would still have the motivation to cultivate. Their efforts would not be in vain.
The others were still okay, they were still motivated.
Minister w.a.n.g"s gaze turned to Jiang Chao. This little fatty ... He really didn"t have the slightest bit of self-improvement. He didn"t even know how he had cultivated to rank-6.
Not to mention the first five ranks, he could seal a Sanjiao gate, so he was not useless. Why was he so unreliable?
Minister w.a.n.g rubbed his temples, hoping that everything would go smoothly on this mcmau trip.
He had seen Fang ping before. These guys had better not provoke these martial arts university thorns.
The last time, Fang ping had scammed Zheng Minghong in front of so many grandmasters.
This kid was extremely daring.
"Nanjiang catacombs and magic City catacombs have both caused a huge commotion because of him.
If you really p.i.s.s him off, he won"t care who your ancestors are.
Moreover, if they were really beaten up by Fang ping, their ancestors would not have the face to say anything. They had the best resources, the best weapons, and armors, plus the combat techniques that were most suitable for them. Their cultivation level was even higher than the other party ...
If he couldn"t even beat them, then it really lived up to the saying that they were all trash.
"The key is ... We might not be able to defeat him ..."
Minister w.a.n.g muttered in his heart.
However, after thinking about Fang Ping"s personality that he understood, that guy was also a smart person. He would not go so far as to be ruthless ... However, the kid who came this time had to be careful not to fall into a trap before he could go back.
"They are all rich people! It"s not a bad idea to be scammed by that kid. "
Minister w.a.n.g continued to Mutter in his heart, maybe I should take the initiative to find some trouble for them?
The Ministry of Education was also poor.
Was there any hope for Fang ping to scam more and split the profits 50 - 50?
"Fang ping alone might not be enough ... Why don"t we call li Hansong over? "Two peak rank-5s fighting these guys, no one will pick a fight ... w.a.n.g Jinyang"s realm is a little low. He"s only middle-stage rank-5. He might not be their match ... Why don"t we call him over to try?"
Minister w.a.n.g fell into deep thought. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it might not be impossible.
"The Ministry of Education is poor, and so are martial arts universities. They"re all poor people.
The kids in the car were really rich.
Even if they didn"t bring anything with them, with their status, their families wouldn"t go back on their word with an IOU, right?
"Get a few dozen catties of life essence, and some good things to nourish mental energy ... Those seniors should have a lot of surplus in their hands, right?"
Minister w.a.n.g had completely entered a state of fantasy. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his considerations made sense.
There were some things that the government naturally had, but there was not enough porridge for the people.
There were many things that the seniors had no use for, but he couldn"t let these seniors take the initiative to hand over these things. That would be too much. Which expert didn"t have a private collection? eating a big pot of rice wouldn"t work.
However, their direct descendants wouldn"t go back on their word if they lost something, right?
……
Mcmau.
South Side Library.
Fang ping said that he was going into closed-door cultivation, but he did not go to the energy room or the vitality pool. He did not need these anyway.
This fellow"s closed-door cultivation was to read books, read information, read doc.u.ments, and read maps.
Fang ping rarely came to the library.
In the past, he thought it was unnecessary, but after reading for a few days, Fang ping suddenly realized that there was indeed a need to read more.
He could read about martial arts, strange news, and even some history books and folklore.
"I can"t believe that the positioning of the Sanjiao gate can be done this way. I"ve learned something new!"
At this moment, Fang ping was holding an ancient book with yellowed pages in his hand.
According to the book, the positioning of the Sanjiao gate did not necessarily have to be slowly explored and searched for by oneself.
There was once a rank-5 powerhouse who achieved the integration of heaven and man at rank-5 and achieved Sanjiao gate.
According to current understanding, the so-called "unity of man and nature" meant that when one"s essence, Qi, and spirit reached a peak, they would merge into one furnace. It was about the same as the unity of fist force in rank-3.
With his essence, spirit, and soul as one and his blood and Qi reaching the heavens, his Sanjiao gate could be directly drawn out.
"Of course, the requirements are very high. Most rank-5 martial artists can"t do this.
If rank-5 martial artists today wanted to find the Sanjiao gate, they had to slowly explore, sense, sense, and then draw it out bit by bit. This was a laborious task.
"Maybe I can give it a try ... But my control over my power is too weak, and I can"t fully display my strength. Otherwise, I could"ve done all this with my Foundation."
Putting down the ancient book in his hand, Fang ping picked up another book and flipped through it again, mumbling,""Honing the skull for rank-7 and forging the Golden body for rank-8. I never knew what rank-9 had to cultivate in the past ... Now, I just barely know a little.
Interesting ... At that stage, are you still human?"
Even though Fang ping felt that he was no longer human, he had not completely left the category of human.
However, rank-9 ... According to the records, they really could not be considered human.
"Wu Chuan and the other rank-9s ... They"re completely not what the books say they are ... Did I not see them unleash their true abilities, or are they really weak?"
Fang ping touched his chin. He now felt that Wu Chuan and the rest ... Could be fake rank-9s.
"I"ve never seen a rank-9 Paragon before. Perhaps paragons are what the books record.
"Also, old man Li"s previous guess that there might be quite a few rank-8 golden bodies hidden in the martial arts world ... It might not be fake! Some of the old fogeys are still alive. "
Fang ping mumbled again. There was a book that recorded that an mcmau instructor had once encountered a powerhouse suspected to be a rank-8 golden body on earth.
The reason why he was suspected to be from the martial arts world was because old antique had long hair and wore ancient clothes, which made him different from modern martial artists.
"As for the catacombs martial artists, the probability of them sneaking into earth is not high. It"s very difficult to hide such powerhouses.
"The more I know, the smaller I feel. And it"s still lacking a lot of key information ... Why is no one willing to tell me?"
Fang ping shook his head. The next moment, the word "exchange group" flashed in his mind.
I don"t know, but what about those guys?
If those guys were really from the species conservation Plan, these people rarely appeared in public. They mainly focused on cultivation, so they were probably much simpler in comparison.
These guys ... Could he trick a few of them into leaking some information to him?
"Besides, these guys should be very rich, right?"
At this moment, Fang Ping"s thoughts suddenly aligned with Minister w.a.n.g "s.
With an old ancestor like Niu Tiantian, their family should be very rich.
The trash in the eyes of a rank-9 Paragon might be the ultimate treasure in his eyes.
Back then, when he was not a martial artist yet, Fang ping could treat a normal vitality pill as a treasure.
Now, if a normal vitality pill fell to the ground ... Fang ping would probably pick it up, but he would not feel anything if he just gave it away.
If he was like this, then those top powerhouses would probably be the same, right?
"It seems like I need to communicate with these people."
Fang ping touched his chin. Before this, he had not really wanted to deal with this exchange group. It would have been better if he had the time to cultivate on his own. It was a waste of time to waste time on these people.
But now, perhaps it was time for him to meet her.
"The purpose of cultivating combat techniques is still to control my power. This can"t be rushed ... Perhaps fighting a few full-powered battles will be the opportunity for me to advance to the sixth stage."
In the next moment, Fang ping turned and left the library. He shut himself in to slowly grind his realm. This was not his style.
