Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: Three Things

Fang Bai’s punch defeated Qi Dongsheng, shocking many of the Martial Academy disciples, including Tu Hu.

Tu Hu gazed at Fang Bai, who stood proud like a spear on the Stone Platform, and let out a sigh tinged with a hint of shame.

It was only then that Tu Hu realized that Fang Bai had never shown his true strength before this moment.

Recalling the period during mountain training when he had vied with Fang Bai and others for the carcasses of several dozen Antlered Silver Lions and how he had boasted about defeating Fang Bai within fifty moves, Tu Hu now found it truly laughable.

Tu Hu also knew that although he was slightly stronger than Qi Dongsheng, if Fang Bai could severely injure Qi Dongsheng in one move, he could defeat Tu Hu within a few moves. Moreover, with Fang Bai’s natural talent, he was destined to leave Tu Hu far behind on the path of the Martial Dao.

"This experience has undoubtedly highlighted this Fang Bai. It’s certain that the Martial Academy’s management will make great efforts to cultivate Fang Bai, who in the future is very likely to replace Gao Shuxian as the new successor to the head of the Bitao Martial Academy. It seems that from now on, I will need to maintain a good relationship with Fang Bai. Even if we can’t be friends, I absolutely must not become enemies."

Tu Hu secretly thought to himself.

After this battle, Qi Dongsheng lost his status as a Core Disciple, while Fang Bai was promoted to the ranks of Core Disciple, ranking above Tu Hu.

The gazes of the other Core Disciples towards Fang Bai were somewhat complicated. Just now, Fang Bai’s single move that severely injured Qi Dongsheng had shocked them greatly, and they well knew that if Fang Bai so wished, he certainly had the strength to claim a top position on the Core Disciple combat power list.

However, after seriously injuring Qi Dongsheng, Fang Bai seemed to have no interest in challenging the other strong disciples, which made them secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fang Bai, this young man, is unrestrained when he should be, and knows when to pull back. Rare indeed!"

The Martial Academy’s higher-ups raised their estimation of Fang Bai considerably.

The challenges continued after the battle between Fang Bai and Qi Dongsheng, lasting until dusk, with many Martial Academy disciples rising or falling in the combat rankings, some filled with joy, others with sorrow.

"Core Disciple Fang Bai, follow the elders of the Martial Academy to Lingtian Hall. The rest of the disciples, return to your residences!"

After the Elder of the Enforcement Hall, Tie Xing, announced this news, he set off towards Lingtian Peak’s Lingtian Hall with Ren Jingbo and other higher-ups of the Martial Academy.

Fang Bai waved his hand to Liu Liehu and others, signaling them to go back first. Then he turned, glanced at the retreating figures of Ren Jingbo and the others, pondered for a moment, and slowly followed them.

Martial Academy higher-ups collectively summoning a disciple to Lingtian Hall was an event unprecedented in decades. Fang Bai should indeed be proud to receive such an honor, which also made thousands of Martial Academy disciples extremely envious, knowing that Fang Bai had already garnered favor with the higher-ups and was sure to be a key candidate for cultivation in the future.

"That Fang Bai, what kind of damn luck has he stumbled upon that his strength keeps increasing? It’s infuriating!"

Gao Shuxian clenched her fists tightly, seething inwardly.

She looked towards the departing figure of Zhuang Zhi, thinking to herself that she needed to hurry and gain control over this Martial Academy Steward with an initial-stage Desolate Level cultivation, and persuade him to make a move against Fang Bai and the others.

"Junior Sister Gao, that Fang Bai is getting more and more attention from the higher-ups of the Martial Academy! If this continues, it’s going to be even harder for us to deal with him! Ah, look at that smug look on his face, it’s so infuriating!"

At that moment, the cousins Yang Lin and Yang Wei approached Gao Shuxian and spoke.

Yang Lin and Yang Wei, both among the top ranking disciples in the combat power list of the Inner Court, had once been arrogant and overbearing, but after being incited by Gao Shuxian to provoke Hou Ziping and Fang Bai, they were defeated miserably not long before.

Ever since then, they had hated Fang Bai and Hou Ziping. However, due to the formidable strength of Fang Bai and Hou Ziping, they found it impossible to take revenge. Knowing Gao Shuxian had connections with Direct Disciples and even the higher-ups of the Martial Academy, they could only pin their hopes of revenge on Gao Shuxian.

Although Yang Lin and Yang Wei were much stronger than Gao Shuxian, firstly, they had been utterly bewitched by her, and secondly, with powerful backers supporting her, they did not dare to provoke her. Therefore, in front of Gao Shuxian, they acted in a compliant and obedient manner.

Gao Shuxian glanced at them disdainfully and then snorted coldly, "Just watch, it won’t be long before Fang Bai disappears from this world... Hmph, as long as Fang Bai is out of the picture, Liu Qingqing, Liu Liehu, Hou Ziping, and the others, they are nothing to fear; they can easily be taken care of! Hmph, anyone who opposes me, Gao Shuxian, will never end well!"

Seeing the spiteful intent and sinister murderousness in Gao Shuxian’s eyes, Yang Lin and Yang Wei exchanged glances, feeling a chill down their spines. They thought to themselves that indeed, a woman’s malice could be deadly; they better keep their distance from her in the future.

What the three did not know was that their whispered conversation had been detected by Fang Bai’s Divine Sense, which he had spread out thousands of meters away.

As for the little tricks the three might pull off behind his back, Fang Bai only sneered in his heart.

In Fang Bai’s eyes, Gao Shuxian, Yang Lin, and Yang Wei were merely three clowns. If they behaved themselves, he wouldn’t bother them again, but if they tried to provoke him, he wouldn’t hesitate to completely erase them from this world.

Fang Bai of the past had been the Immortal Emperor, who feared neither heaven nor earth; he dared to confront anyone who angered him, let alone the three Inner Court disciples who were like ants in his eyes.

Moments later, Fang Bai followed Ren Jingbo and other higher-ups of the Martial Academy and arrived at the hall on the summit of Lingtian Peak, Lingtian Hall.

Ren Jingbo and the others took their seats in the stone chairs of the grand hall, and as a disciple, Fang Bai only had the stand to speak.

"Fang Bai, there are three main things I wanted to discuss with you this time..."

Ren Jingbo looked at Fang Bai with a smile and pleasure, saying, "The first thing is about the set of Fire System Martial Arts you learned during your training period... You know the rules of the Martial Academy, so you should know what to do, right?"

Fang Bai had already thought of his response on the way to Lingtian Hall and nodded, saying, "I understand. I will transcribe a copy of the Fire System Martial Arts to be kept in the Classics Hall of the Martial Academy."

"Good! Very good!"

Ren Jingbo was delighted and nodded toward Lei Li, the Elder of the Classics Hall, who sat beside him.

Lei Li stood up, personally handed paper and ink to Fang Bai, then patted Fang Bai on the shoulder, speaking a few words of encouragement. He left Fang Bai with a meaningful smile and then retook his seat.

Lei Li had always been at odds with Ge Feng and Situ Min, and he was subconsciously resistant to Fang Bai, whom Ge Feng and Situ Min highly admired. However, given Fang Bai’s exceptional talent and rarity in the Martial Academy over tens of thousands of years, Lei Li still needed to display some amiability on the surface.

As to how Lei Li felt or what he thought, Fang Bai couldn’t care less. He spread the paper on the stone table in the hall, took up his brush and, miming deep thought, began to write fluidly.
