The Arena.

The audience below the stage was shocked. Onstage, Fang Ping rested his eyes for a moment before he opened them again and then said, Continue!

Zhou Yans gaze flickered as she spoke gruffly. You dont want to rest for a while?

Ive already booked my ticket!

Upon hearing Fang Pings words, as a fair judge, Zhou Yuan did not attempt to advise him again. Instead, she turned to the two people standing by the battle stage. Do the two of you still want to challenge him?

The two people below the stage no longer looked as confident as they had previously. As the doctor and the Martial Arts Society members moved past them once again while carrying Zhang Guoweis corpse, their gazes grew dark.

After a while, one of them sighed softly. I surrender. From today onwards, Ill train contentedly. Rank-1 is good, Rank-2 is also fine. Martial arts

Maybe It isnt suited for me

The last few words were almost inaudible.

He was scared, afraid!

They were both Rank-1s, he was at Peak Rank-1 while Fang Ping had just entered Rank-1.

However, since Fang Ping had killed two Peak Rank-1 martial artists in a row, he dared not step on stage.

Having spoken, the person turned and left.

After he had left, only one person remained at the bottom of the stage.

The last person was not a boy but a girl.

At this point, the girl looked a little hesitant. She turned slightly to take a glance at Liu Yongwen before she gritted her teeth, preparing to step onto the stage.

Below the stage, Liu Yongwen said, Forget about it. Surrender!

Yongwen!

The girl seemed unwilling. She said with gritted teeth, I can do it!

Liu Yongwen shook his head as he looked at Fang Ping. She surrenders.

Yongwen

There was clearly something going on between the girl and Liu Yongwen. It was hard to tell whether it was relief or regret that was shown in her gaze as she turned her head to look at Fang Ping. She said resentfully, If it wasnt for the fact that weapons arent allowed today

Fang Ping replied coldly, Stop with all the nonsense. If you want to fight then step onto the stage. Lets see if I can kill you!

You!

How can someone like you be considered a martial artist! Theres no chatter on the battle stage. If you want to fight, then fight. If you dont want to fight then admit defeat!

If you disagree then step onto the stage. Ive used up a large portion of my Vitality, so maybe I wont kill you!

Asshole I

Enough!

Liu Yongwen shouted lightly as Zhang Guoru said with a frown, Qi Wei, thats enough. If you surrender, come down!

For a martial artist, the biggest taboo was to be lacking in strength while having a mouth that would not quit.

The saying that talking big could get one killed was built on the basis of strength after all.

Qin Fengqing could say anything he wanted to because not many people could kill him. Furthermore, those who could kill him still would not choose to.

In contrast, Qi Weis opponent was Fang Ping, someone who had just reached Rank-1 not too long ago. However, despite that, he had managed to kill two Peak Rank-1 martial artists. No matter how stubborn Qi Wei was, she could not hide from the fact that she had to surrender as she could not face him in a match.

Qi Weis face was gloomy as she lowered her head. She walked out of the arena without saying anything else.

Did she still dare challenge him?

Maybe not!

If Liu Yongwen had strongly requested her to, with her life on the line, she might have fought with all she had. However, Liu Yongwen had surrendered for her. With the vigor she had in her heart relinquished, she knew that if she stepped onto the stage, the probability that she would be killed was very high!

With the two remaining challengers gone, naturally, it was the end of the so-called friendly battle.

Liu Yongwen gazed profoundly at Fang Ping as he stood up. When ones techniques are not as good as ones opponent, then the loss is justified.

Be that as it may, in the beginning, my brother was just as talented as you. My family had high hopes for him. Their expectations of him were higher than their expectations of me. They had hoped that he would graduate at Rank-4.

Yet till this day, his wound has not healed. He couldnt even maintain being a Peak Rank-1. His Vitality dropped, falling to the level of a new Rank-1.

Graduating at Rank-2 will be hard for him, let alone Rank-4. He might stay at Rank-1 forever

As he spoke, Liu Yongwen gave a self-deprecating laugh. I have no other meaning behind my words. I just wanted to let you know that in a martial arts battle, there is no right or wrong. There is only strength!

If Wang Jinyang could cripple my younger brother, I can find someone to cripple you!

Of course, there is one condition, being that there are rules. Under circumstances that the rules allow, Id gladly let you experience what my brother felt.

At present, your strength is worthy of those at Peak Rank-1. Therefore, lets just forget about todays business.

Wait till youre at Rank-3 Then well talk!

As the sound of his words dropped, all of a sudden, someone entered the arena. That person called out loudly, Theres no need to wait until hes a Rank-3. Im also a Rank-3. Liu Yongwen, I challenge you!

Bang

In the arena, a low banging sound was heard.

Its you!

Wang Jinyang!

You actually dare enter MCMAU!

There was an immediate flurry of activity in the arena as the students that had been brought by Liu Yongwen glared at Wang Jinyang in anger.

Standing by the doors of the arena, Wang Jinyang looked as indifferent as usual. He said mildly, Liu Yongwen, do you accept my challenge?

You!

Do you dare accept!

Wang Jinyang continued calmly, Come up to the stage. If I dont kill you in 3 moves, Ill kneel in front of MCMAUs school gates for a month in acknowledgment that I lost to someone of the same level in MCMAU!

Wang Jinyang!

An instructor called out coldly, This is MCMAU, not NMAU!

Wang Jinyangs gaze shifted to the instructor who had spoken. He continued in the same calm tone, In 3 days, Ill definitely achieve a breakthrough. In a month, you can challenge me, but youll be responsible for your own life and death!

Arrogance!

The Rank-4 instructor was furious!

A stubborn mouth wont kill anyone!

You dare look down on MCMAU!

I dont look down on anyone, but Im also not afraid of anyone! Ive sacrificed more than any of you to have gotten to where I am today!

Wang Jinyang spoke calmly, Now, at the strength of Rank-3, I challenge a fellow Rank-3 in MCMAU! Do you accept or not?

Arrogant bastard!

Accept the challenge, let a Peak Rank-3 martial artist battle him!

Some of the people were full of righteous anger while some of them were full of indignation.

There was a change in the look on Liu Yongwens face. However, he did not say a word.

There were also a few instructors frowning heavily, but no one said anything.

Wang Jinyang who was at Peak Rank-3 had previously disappeared for a period of time. Everyone thought that he was undergoing closed-door training to achieve a Rank-4 breakthrough.

Who knew that he had not yet broken through. Instead, he showed up at Magic City.

Wang Jinyang was at Peak Rank-3, just half a step away from the strength of a Rank-4. There were students in MCMAU that were in similar situations, but were they a good match for Wang Jinyang?

Sweeping through those in Rank-1 could be seen as just simple fun.

On the other hand, those in Rank-3 were elite students. If Wang Jinyang were to defeat all of them, MCMAU would heavily lose face. Perhaps after that, they would come to face truly big troubles!

Seeing the lack of response in the audience, Wang Jinyang was not disappointed. However, he did not feel proud as well. He continued indifferently, Since none of you are up for the challenge, I wont force any of you!

Nevertheless, I am who I am, and other people are other people!

Fang Ping is a student of MCMAU and not NMAU. For MCMAU to treat a new student like this, are these the ways of a famous university?

Wang Jinyang, it was a fair battle. Fang Ping accepted it himself! Liu Yongwen said with furrowed brows.

Wang Jinyang turned his head toward him. Fine, then this time lets forget about it. But as long as there are others in the future, then I will ask for a fair battle as well!

Now, Im at the level of Rank-3, but none of you are willing to accept my challenge!

Once I enter Rank-4, I will avoid battles until I reach Peak Rank-4. Only after that will I come back to the gates of MCMAU. I would like to see if its also fair if I kill all your Rank-4 students?

Jerk!

Zhang Guoru scolded angrily. You really think theres no one here at MCMAU!

Then lets fight!

Wang Jinyang called out suddenly, Today, I, Wang Jinyang, challenge the Rank-3 students of MCMAU. No challengers will be rejected!

You really think I dont dare kill your MCMAU students!

You

Shut up!

Lu Fengrou, who had previously been silent, yelled angrily and glanced fiercely at Zhang Guoru!

Wang Jinyang had swept through the Rank-3 martial artists of the northern lands. Even several vice presidents of the Martial Arts Society of Capital City Martial Arts University had been defeated by him. How could they fight?

In Capital City, Wang Jinyang had not dealt any killing blows.

Today, if he were to deal killing blows at MCMAU, it seemed like the blood of Rank-3 level students would splatter all over MCMAU.

Zhang Guorus face was flushed red, but he did not open his mouth again.

Wang Jinyang ignored him and looked at Fang Ping who was onstage. Next time, if you feel like there are any dangerous battles, you can reject them!

My business has nothing to do with you!

Dont worry about retaliation. Just wait till Im Rank-4. If MCMAU tries to pull something like this again, Ill kill all of MCMAUs Rank-4 students!

When Im Rank-5, Ill kill all of MCMAUs Rank-5 students!

Despite the arrogance in his words, Wang Jinyang said them as if they were only natural. He left the instructors looking extremely embarrassed.

Lu Fengrou furrowed her brows slightly as she spoke, Wang Jinyang. First, lets not bring up the fact that Fang Ping is my student. Naturally, Ill take care of him.

Lets just talk about you. Do you really think that no one of the same rank could beat you?

Lets try it out, then Ill know!

Indeed you are very confident. As expected of the Martial Arts University Alliances shit-stirrer.

Lu Fengrou laughed. As a martial artist, accepting challenges is a very normal thing

I dont care about that!

Wang Jinyang interrupted her. Fang Pings life or death doesnt concern me. Whether or not he accepts challenges also has nothing to do with me!

But that is his own path, and Ive not come to influence him!

MCMAU using my business to coerce him is just not right!

My business is something that I, Wang Jinyang, will take responsibility for. If theres anyone whos unsatisfied or unwilling, then feel free to come find me. If theres a next time, Ill definitely fulfill my promises!

Lu Fengrou nodded slightly. Indeed, your words are not wrong. After all, this nonsense was started by a bunch of trash whose Vitality and Mentality had been worn out by you.

None of the true elites of MCMAU would do such a thing.

Qin Fengqing, Xie Lei, Zhou Yan Among these people, none of them hold a grudge against Fang Ping because they have their own pride.

Wang Jinyang said coolly, They also dont have the guts!

Standing at the side, the corner of Zhou Yans mouth convulsed as she mumbled, You speak of it like as if were all afraid of you.

Wang Jinyang heard this line. He turned to her and said, You can accept my challenge!

Youre insane

Zhou Yan said huffily, Stop being so arrogant. This is MCMAUs Martial Arts Society! Who let you in here?

Me!

At that moment, a lazy voice was heard.

Carrying a saber, Qin Fengqing walked in leisurely as he let out a yawn. I happened to see him at the train station, so I invited him to come take a look around MCMAU. I didnt think Id get to see such a good show.

As I said earlier, stop fussing over such useless things.

Its not like the morons dead, hes still alive. If you want to kill him then challenge him directly. Whats with all this pretense!

I cant defeat him either. If not, I wouldve challenged him long ago

Right then, Fang Ping who hadnt said a single word suddenly called out in a small voice, Brother Wang, Qin Fengqing also said hed wait till Im Rank-3 to challenge me

The corner of Qin Fengqings mouth twitched as he nagged. I I was just saying that!

Wang Jinyang shot a glance at him but did not say anything. Finally, he looked at Liu Yongwen who had an awful look on his face. Youre a Rank-3, but if you dont want to accept my challenge now, thats fine. Dont think that once I reach Rank-4, I wont have a way to deal with you!

Your father is also at Rank-4. If theres a next time, Ill have a battle to the death with your father!

Wang Jinyang!

Liu Yongwens face was so cloudy it could rain. No longer as eloquent as he was earlier, he gritted his teeth. If it werent for the fact that

If it werent for the fact that what? If it werent for the fact that I had a Grandmaster accompanying me, your father would have laid his hands on me long ago?

Wang Jinyang laughed coldly. Thats because I have value! Compared to you people, I, Wang Jinyang, am worth more. Youll just have to deal with it!

After throwing out his words, Wang Jinyang turned to leave. He said as he left, I wont be leaving Magic City for the next few days. Those of you who are rank 3 can come find me regardless of location; be it MCMAU or anywhere else!

In 3 days, Ill no longer accept challenges from those who are Rank-3. Unless of course, anyone wants to die, then youre free to drop by!

Just like that, Old Wang left. However, Fang Ping sighed endlessly.

He stole the show!

In my first match, I killed 2 Peak Rank-1 martial artists. It was a glorifying moment.

The moment Old Wang arrived in his high-handed manner, even Lu Fengrou had forgotten about him. Not to mention, he was her student. Instead, she had stared at Old Wang the whole time.

Prior to this, Zhao Xuemei and Yang Xiaoman were looking at him with a little bit of fear and admiration. However, once Old Wang came, it seemed like the two maidens had forgotten that Fang Ping was still onstage.

Whats up with that?

Fang Ping muttered, though he still felt a little relieved.

He never thought that Wang Jinyang would arrive at that moment. Moreover, with such unmatched strength, wanting to challenge all of MCMAUs Rank-3 martial artists.

Even the Rank-4 instructors didnt make a sound upon Wang Jinyangs declaration of challenge in a months time. That was his breakthrough in 3 days.

Wang Jinyang had earned his reputation through fighting!

As a Rank-1, he swept through Magic City; as a Rank-3, he swept through the northern lands!

Even though he was just about to enter Rank-4, were the instructors of the same rank a match for him?

Those in the Rank-4 level were considered people of importance!

If they were capable, they could be the commander of any city. In such a situation, they could once again challenge martial artists to battles of life and death. However, not everyone had such boldness.

With Wang Jinyang gone, Qin Fengqing smiled and left as well.

Zhou Yan watched as the two Gods of Plague left, throwing out a curse. That idiot Qin Fengqing must have had some water in his brain. He had brought Wang Jinyang into the Martial Arts Society!

Initially, her thoughts were on Fang Ping standing on the battle stage. However, with what had just happened, she was not thinking about Fang Ping anymore.

Killing two Peak Rank-1 martial artists was indeed a bit of a bother.

Still, it had been their own decision to challenge Fang Ping. It was a relay match against him, and yet they were killed. Hence, they deserved it.

When they got back, they could just report them as training deaths. It was not too big of a problem.

The crucial issue was that Wang Jinyang was about to level up to Rank-4, and their own president had been in closed-door training the whole time. Were the two of them going to have a match?

If anything happened, if any one of those young, middle-ranked martial artists died, it would be more shameful than a hundred Rank-1 martial artists dying.

Everyones thoughts were no longer on the arena. Hence, Liu Yongwen and his gang of people took the opportunity to beat a hasty retreat, leaving without a word.

The other instructors also left quickly, and none of them were talking about Fang Ping anymore.

After a while.

Outside the Martial Arts Society.

Fang Ping asked in a low voice, Instructor, what should I do next?

You?

Lu Fengrou said huffily, Dont you have a train to catch this afternoon? Go home, what else can you do!

Going home at this time is good too. Its your first time killing someone, right?

Uh-huh.

You performed well, but your heart must surely be unsettled. Go home and be with your family, and let yourself process it for a while. Once youre used to it, itll all be fine.

When your holiday ends, come find me again. Ill arrange something.

Then, Wang Jinyang

Him?

Lu Fengrou thought for a moment and then said, Hes got a bit of a platform now. The bottom 3 ranks are fine, but once one enters the middle 3 ranks, one can be considered a person of importance.

The kids plans arent small. Having come to Magic City now means that theres a high possibility hes looking for an opportunity to prepare to breakthrough to the middle 3 ranks.

Once he reaches the middle 3 ranks, if hes unwilling, there wont be many people who could use him as a pawn.

Coming back to this

Lu Fengrou glanced at Fang Ping and said in a slightly disgusted tone, You two are only separated by a year, right? The difference is too large. The MCMAU students he pressured didnt dare open their mouths. You needed to go so far as to manipulate mere Rank-1 martial artists?

Fang Ping stared dumbfoundedly as he thought, Am I being scorned? Criticized?

I just entered a martial arts university, and I defeated as well as killed two Peak Rank-1 martial artists. Im the actual main character!
