Chapter 339: MCMAU’s First Battle

For a while, Li Hansong was swayed, but the result was still satisfactory to Fang Ping.

It didn’t matter if there were interchanges between instructors, exchanging our fighting techniques, including the establishment of the platform; Li Hansong would endeavor to do his best.

As the leader of CCMAU amongst the students.

If Li Hansong really wanted to fight for it, it was not too difficult. Even if there were people displeased with this in CCMAU, if they were unwilling to satisfy the Martial Arts Society over this kind of small matter, and unless the students of CCMAU were indifferent to the world, they would definitely rebel.

Both of them agreed on some of the matters. Without signing any agreement to that effect, Fang Ping left soon.

As soon as he left, Li Hansong suddenly said, “Han Xu, you are in for some trouble in the future.”

Han Xu was silent.

Li Hansong’s meaning was obvious. He was about to graduate anyway. When he graduated, Han Xu would have no problem entering Rank-4.

Once he entered into Rank-4, it was only reasonable that Han Xu would take over his position.

In the future, Fang Ping would be Han Xu’s biggest opponent.

Han Xu kept quiet, but Ling Yiyi stole a glance at him and said distrustfully, “I have always felt that you are not his opponent, he will sooner or later take advantage of you…”

Dismissing it, Ling Yiyi was still a little bit dissatisfied. “I should be the one being the president next year!”

On what basis should Han Xu be the president!

This year, she was only a junior and was a middle-stage Rank-4. When Li Hansong graduated, she would be at least high-ranked, or even at peak-rank. It should be her turn to be president.

Li Hansong chuckled. “It’s up to you all, but… If you become the president, Fang Ping’s target will be you. You take it easy.”

“Hmph, I’m not afraid of him!”

Ling Yiyi did not admit it, but she was considering it. Would it be worth it?

…

In the Martial Arts University Champions.h.i.+p, the first match ended in 20 minutes.

Nine States Military School battled with Tiannan Martial Arts University. After the defeat of the president of Tiannan Martial Arts University, Xuan Jiye, the latter two defeated the remaining four people from Tiannan Martial Arts University.

Tiannan Martial Arts University did not fight desperately to the end. Apart from Xuan Jiye and Shen Hongwei being seriously injured, everyone else did not suffer serious injuries.

The first battle was not exciting enough.

Compared to the first Martial Arts University Champions.h.i.+p in January, these Rank-4 martial artists were not fighting as hot-blooded as the Rank-1 martial artists, nor did they provide much excitement.

At that time, at the Rank-1 battle, all the martial artists fought to their death and never retreated. When two artists fought against each other, unless they were seriously injured, they would not step down from the stage.

As of now, the match of the Rank-3 and Rank-4 martial artists had been unsatisfactory. Both Tiannan Martial Arts University and Nine States Military School seemed like they did not give their full power.

…

At the hotel.

For Fang Ping and the rest, this kind of result was not surprising. As for the lack of pa.s.sion, it was understandable.

Tiannan Martial Arts University wanted to preserve its strength. Nine States Military School had to prevent injuries to avoid others from taking advantage of it. Since the strongest from both sides had finished their exchanges, and Tiannan Martial Arts University saw that they had no chance, of course, they would not treat it as a life-and-death battle.

The key point was, the universities attached extreme importance to these Rank-3 and Rank-4 martial artists and would try as much as possible to avoid serious injuries.

Just as Lu Fengrou said to Fang Ping before she left, selfishness was still necessary.

If you really could not win, then just admit defeat.

There were a considerably large number of Rank-1 martial artists in the universities, and even the Peak Rank-1 geniuses were not a big deal.

The powerhouses of the Rank-3 and Rank-4 were the real prodigies. It would be considered a great loss should these people either suffered death or serious injuries.

In the case of obvious gaps in the level of strength, the life-and-death scenarios would not occur.

A small meeting room at the hotel.

Tang Feng glanced at Fang Ping who had just returned, and without asking him where he had gone, groaned for a moment and said, “Try not to be ruthless.”

Xishan Martial Arts University was not very strong. He would definitely be able to show some mercy.

In the morning, Fang Ping had provoked Princ.i.p.al Feng of Xishan Martial Arts University. If he struck them viciously again, he would then greatly offend the other party.

Fang Ping laughed and said, “Rest a.s.sured, I do have a sense of propriety.”

“That would be for the best.”

Tang Feng nodded slightly. As far as Fang Ping was concerned, there was still a sense of propriety.

Without that, somebody would have beaten this brat to death long ago. He wouldn’t have been able to survive until now.

To fleece somebody of a few pills was harmless. The Grandmaster would not bother about this kind of thing.

However, these partic.i.p.ants of the compet.i.tion were all prodigies from Xishan Martial Arts University. If some of them were to get killed or injured by Fang Ping, then that would not be a trivial matter.

Even if other people felt that it was exciting enough, it had little to do with them.

With Fang Ping starting the match, the probability of everybody else getting a chance was slim. Fang Ping would not as he did for the Rank-1 compet.i.tion, deliberately step down to give others a chance to experience. If they wanted to exert their power, they would still have to wait for CCMAU or First Military School.

…

December 2nd, at 2 pm.

CCMAU’s gym.

The end of the morning compet.i.tion left the audience feeling unsatisfied.

However, this afternoon would the first battle for MCMAU, and everybody’s spirit was uplifted.

In this compet.i.tion, the champion of the last compet.i.tion, MCMAU, was at the center of attraction. Everybody was looking forward to watching MCMAU’s performance.

“Let’s take a look at the sequence of appearances for MCMAU… MCMAU’s Captain Fang Ping will start first!”

The male commentator managing to arouse a lot of interest said immediately, “Since the first challenge for Rank-3 ended, Fang Ping has not fought again. In the morning, in front of the media, Fang Ping had divided the Rank-4 fighters in the compet.i.tion into five levels. No, strictly speaking, there are six levels. He stands alone independently as one level.

“According to Fang Ping’s cla.s.sifications, and in Fang Ping’s eyes, it is unsure if the captain of Xishan Martial Arts University, Kong Yuanrong, who is a middle-stage Rank-4, be counted as a strong middle-stage Rank-4 or just an ordinary one. If he is just an ordinary one, then the implication is that in Fang Ping’s eyes, Kong Yuanrong is in the sixth level of Rank-4.

“Does this mean that when Fang Ping is up against Kong Yuanrong, there will be the possibility of an instant defeat of the opponent?

“Of course, this is just Fang Ping’s own statement. The specific outcome will only be determined after the two sides fight.”

The female commentator laughed and commented, “Fang Ping’s talents are surprising, and his arrogance is also surprising. As for his strength specifically, although we haven’t seen him fight, judging from his position as president of MCMAU’s Martial Arts Society, he shouldn’t be too weak.

“However, Kong Yuanrong is also a prodigy at Xishan Martial Arts University, and Fang Ping’s road to victory will not be a smooth one.

“Let’s now take a look at the order of appearance of Xishan Martial Arts University… ”

The female commentator glanced at the commentary, and then quickly said, “I realized that this time around, each university has chosen the strong powerhouse for the first fight, and Xishan Martial Arts University is no exception, having chosen Kong Yuanrong as the first fighter…”

“Then the subsequent match will be worth looking forward to. From the martial arts rank perspective, Fang Ping’s Peak Rank-4 is two stages stronger than the opponent, but martial arts does not only depend on the rank.

“Fang Ping may have progressed very fast, however, the cultivation of his combat techniques need not necessarily be enough. On the contrary, Kong Yuanrong’s progress in combat technique is not shallow. This can be seen from some previous compet.i.tions…”

The two commentators stimulated the whole atmosphere, and soon, the announcement came for the contestants to come on stage.

Backstage.

Fang Ping strode out with a saber at his waist.

On the opposite side, Kong Yuanrong of Xishan Martial Arts University, looking a bit serious also stepped out.

He had also heard of what had happened in the morning.

Fang Ping’s extortion of 5 Resurrection Pills from the chancellor!

To the students, this was something shameful, a great shame!

Was the chancellor afraid of Fang Ping?

That would be a joke. No matter how talented he was, no matter how supported he was, the chancellor who was a Grandmaster princ.i.p.al would not have been afraid of Fang Ping.

The reason why Fang Ping had succeeded had a connection to these students. Their strength was not as good as the others. If Fang Ping was really ruthless in the compet.i.tion, even to the extent of either killing or seriously injuring them, then it would be more than enough for Xishan Martial Arts University to handle.

When Kong Yuanrong knew about this, he felt ashamed to the utmost.

Their own people had even fallen into Fang Ping’s hold in his extortion of the chancellor!

“Fang Ping!”

Kong Yuanrong’s voice was low, and he whispered, “You are arrogant and confident. Do you think you can easily beat Xishan Martial Arts University? Is it?”

Fang Ping laughed. “Of course.”

“Since you are so confident, how about a gamble?”

Fang Ping laughed. He had always gambled with others, but not the other way around.

“Let’s hear it.”

“The probability of Xishan Martial Arts University winning against MCMAU is slim, I Kong Yuanrong do not want to deceive myself. This is just between you and me. If I win, you will return the pills that you took away in the morning to the chancellor!”

Fang Ping froze and thought, “d.a.m.n, you said I’m confident, you’re the one who is confident to the extreme!

“You defeating me?

“Are you kidding me?”

However, when he saw the expression of extreme depression on Kong Yuanrong’s face, Fang Ping suddenly realized that the boy was ready to fight a life-and-death battle with himself.

His behavior in the morning might have been seen as an insult to Xishan Martial Arts University and an insult to Chancellor Feng…

The Kong Yuanrong as he was at this moment, was probably full of anger and shame.

With such emotions plaguing him, it was not surprising if he were to fight a life-and-death battle with Fang Ping.

Fang Ping, who had just broken through Rank-4 recently, even though he had attained Peak Rank-4, but to Kong Yuanrong, he might not be very strong. When martial artists fight, it would not necessarily only depend on the rank!

“What if I win then?”

“I’ll give you another 5 Resurrection pills!”

Fang Ping raised his eyebrows and said, “I don’t want any more pills. My requests are not big. If I win, then the Remote E-Commerce Platform should be stationed at Xishan Martial Arts University. Can you fulfill that?”

Kong Yuanrong frowned slightly. He had also heard of this before.

After considering for a moment, Kong Yuanrong said, “Okay!”

“It feels like you are voluntarily taking the initiative to send me money…”

Fang Ping muttered. The referee on the side had been listening in on their conversation but did not interfere.

After the two had finished their conversation, only then did the referee shout, “Start!”

The moment the words fell!

Fang Ping’s move was unexpected!

Just when Kong Yuanrong stepped forward, Fang Ping holding the saber in his left hand and making a fist with his right hand, suddenly shouted loudly, “Ground Shaking!”

“Boom!”

A loud noise was heard!

Everyone only saw that Fang Ping did not throw out a punch to attack Kong Yuanrong, but instead threw a punch onto the ground. The stage which was newly changed instantly shook and the thundering sound shocked some people into losing their senses!

On the stage, Kong Yuanrong shook slightly and he hastily trod through the air!

“Sky Shaking!”

Fang Ping shouted again, and once more punched his right fist against the stage. With a bang, a large number of alloy fragments shot out!

In mid-air, Kong Yuanrong’s expression changed, and he hurriedly blocked them with his iron rod!

The clanking sound from the strike produced sparks after sparks on the iron rod.

Kong Yuanrong only felt like he was struck by countless iron fists. His whole body shook and was repeatedly pushed backward!

“Ground Shaking Sky Shaking!”

Fang Ping continued to roar. Without even looking at Kong Yuanrong he continued hammering violently against the stage!

A large number of alloy fragments quickly shot at Kong Yuanrong!

And the scope of the debris splash was only within the range of the stage!

“Boom!”

Sounds after sounds of explosions shocked some of the ordinary audience into feeling dizzy and nauseated.

At this moment, some Grandmasters on the second floor stepped up and covered the audience with their Mentality. By this time, the booming sound was no longer shocking to the people, but the sound was still very loud!

” Heaven Shaking Fist!”

“Ground Shaking Fist!”

“Telekinesis Punch!”

“World Extermination Fist!

“…”

Every punch that Fang Ping delivered was accompanied by a loud roar and the whole gym seemed to be shaking!

The two commentators were dumbstruck.

After a long while, the male commentator said with some difficulty, “He… Fang Ping… Fang Ping’s punches have nothing to do with the things he is shouting?”

The female commentator identified it for a while smiled bitterly. “It is the Vajra Punch.”

There were not so many fist techniques. From the beginning to the end, Fang Ping had used the Vajra Punch.

The male commentator was relieved after hearing the words. He thought that he was outdated.

Then the male commentator said blankly, “Fang Ping’s punching power is extremely strong, and his explosive strength is also terrifying. The newly-changed C-grade alloy stage was torn apart by his punches… This is not a crucial point. Fang Ping’s control power is also very strong. It is evident that he has remaining energy to control the direction of the fragments shattering, to only Kong Yuanrong.

“Everybody had also seen it, Kong Yuanrong was not even directly attacked by Fang Ping, yet it was still difficult for him to withstand it.

“The gap between the two sides is just huge!

“But… If Fang Ping attacks directly, Kong Yuanrong may not be able to block up to three punches. Why did he choose… choose such a tactic? ”

The male commentator felt that the years of his cultivation had been wasted!

Fang Ping was really strong, at least it was like that for Kong Yuanrong.

He had only used the shattered alloy fragments as an a.s.sault weapon, and Kong Yuanrong was rendered incapable of counterattacking. At this moment, he was constantly blocking to prevent from being cut into countless pieces by the fragments.

This was just Fang Ping attacking him indirectly.

If it were a direct attack, with Fang Ping’s strength, he would have quickly defeated his opponent.

Fang Ping did more than needed by choosing such a tactic. The people could not see through his motives.

The female commentator was having difficulties explaining. She paused for a while then said, “Geniuses have their own unique thoughts. It is very obvious now that Fang Ping is very strong. As to why he chose such a tactic… probably he has his preferences and habits…”

…

It was extremely difficult for the two commentators to narrate.

Second floor.

The expressions of several Grandmasters of CCMAU turned grave!

This nonsense had nothing to do with tactics, Fang Ping was intentionally creating troubles!

At the end of the morning’s compet.i.tion, CCMAU had deliberately changed the stage into a giant platform made of C-grade alloy. Such a platform would be more than enough to accommodate the fights between martial artists of Rank-5 or Rank-6, so long as it was not intentionally destroyed.

But now … this b.a.s.t.a.r.d Fang Ping’s intention was obvious!

Kong Yuanrong was a middle-stage Rank-4 martial artist. The differences between him and Fang Ping were extremely huge. The Vitality difference was even close to half, and the gap in physical strength had even reached a limit.

Fang Ping did not use any ultimate move but simply used his strong physique and Vitality to hit the stage. In addition to slightly controlling the direction of the fragments, he had suppressed Kong Yuanrong until he was powerless to counter-attack.

If he were to attack with full strength, Kong Yuanrong might not be able to even withstand one punch.

In actual fact, the many punches delivered by him, although were lively to look at, were all redundant!

Not that it was useless. At least, the large stage had been reduced to honeycomb briquettes by Fang Ping!

“Humph!”

An instructor of CCMAU was unable to hold back and let out a loud groan!

Huang Jing and the rest pretended to be oblivious, no one spoke, and no one offered any justification.

In a compet.i.tion, there was no need to bother about how Fang Ping fought. He could fight however he liked, as long as he did not cross the borders of the stage. If you had the ability, just get Xishan Martial Arts University to admit defeat.

“Boom!”

The loud noise continued to ring through the stadium.

A large number of fragments continued to be fired directly at Kong Yuanrong. Although Kong Yuanrong tried his best to block them, he was still scratched by some fragments, and traces of blood appeared on his body.

Fang Ping’s Vitality was much stronger than his.

At this moment, the alloy fragments that were attached to Fang Ping’s Vitality Force were all shooting at him and was even comparable to a group of early-stage Rank-4 powerhouses launching a collective attack on him using bows and arrows.

Kong Yuanrong felt very desperate!

Was the gap between them so big?

Fang Ping, from the beginning to the end, did not even make any contact with him. Was he going to fail just like this?

“Invincible Punch!”

At this moment, Fang Ping shouted again. His left hand was no longer holding the saber, both his fists were hitting out at the same time!

Above both fists, a dazzling blood-red glow exploded out!

“Boom!”

A sound louder than the one before broke out!

“Crack…”

The sound of an explosion could be heard and the stage collapsed completely.

The huge stage was only covered with C-grade alloy on the surface, but the bottom layer was still made up of ordinary alloy.

At this moment, Fang Ping with his full strength hit out with both fists and directly broke open the C-grade alloy on the surface layer. The alloy on the bottom layer could not withstand the huge force and instantly broke into multiple pieces.

“Crack!”

With a crisp sound, Fang Ping stood in the air. Kong Yuanrong stood on the other side out of breath. The stage under both their feet … gave way directly.

Fang Ping’s expression was as usual. He slightly pouted and asked, “The stage has collapsed, who is considered the winner?”

The whole gym was silent.

After a long while, somebody on the second floor sighed softly. “Kong Yuanrong, admit defeat!”

The voice was from Chancellor Feng.

What was the point of fighting anymore!

Fang Ping did not seriously injure Kong Yuanrong. It was unclear if it was because of the effect from this morning’s pills or was he deliberately creating trouble for CCMAU.

Whatever the reason, the gap in the strength was there.

The stage was beaten to a pulp. If he still refused to admit defeat, Kong Yuanrong would be beaten to a pulp too.
