The evening arrived, and the setting sun was as red as blood. The afterglow shone on the Martial Arts Hall. More than 50 apprentices were sitting upright. On the stage, the elders of the Martial Arts Hall were reading their names one by one and distributing the subsidies.
This was the primeval stone subsidy distributed by the Martial Arts Hall every seven days. It could be considered as a financial aid to these youths. After all, with their strength, it was still very stressful to feed Gu worms alone.
"Meng Fanchen." The elder read.
"Work hard." The elder looked at Meng Fanchen deeply. Meng Fanchen had obtained first place twice in a row. This had already made the elders, who were already disappointed, pay some attention to him. Meng Fanchen nodded and returned to his seat.
" Damn it, he actually took first place again…" Mo Chen stared at Meng Fanchen, feeling indignant.
"Those two round blades hit the puppet's neck consecutively. Was he just lucky again, or was he really strong?”Chi Cheng narrowed his eyes. Ever since the end of the assessment, this question had been hovering in his mind. Not only him, but many other acolytes were also looking at Meng Fanchen. This question tormented them. Although they had lost, they were very unwilling and really wanted to ask the truth.
When it was about to end, the Martial Arts Hall Elder announced something,"You've been in the Martial Arts Hall for some time now, so you're familiar with the use of your Life's Origin Parasite. In the following days, I will teach you how to nurture your primordial apertures and raise your Gu Master's cultivation realm. The higher a Gu Master's attainment level, the more condensed their primeval essence. Rank one Gu Masters had green copper primeval essence, Rank two Gu Masters had black iron primeval essence, and Rank three Gu Masters had white silver primeval essence. One portion of black iron primeval essence was comparable to ten portions of bronze primeval essence. Similarly, one portion of silver primeval essence was comparable to ten portions of black iron primeval essence!”
"You have to remember, Gu worms are only tools for us to use, cultivation is the foundation of us Gu masters. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the Gu worms could be controlled. In the next three months, whoever could advance to Rank one middle stage first would receive thirty primeval stones as a reward, and at the same time have the priority to choose the second Gu worm. Three months later, we will appoint a class monitor and two deputy class monitors based on their results. The class monitor would enjoy a subsidy of ten primeval stones while the deputy class monitor's subsidy would increase to five primeval stones! Alright, that's all for today. Everyone can leave now.”The elder's words caused the Martial Arts Hall to buzz.
"We're going to set up a class monitor and deputy class monitor!”Someone clenched his fists excitedly.
The class monitor gets ten primeval stones every seven days, and the vice class monitor also gets five? If I can be the first to advance to Rank one middle stage, I will definitely become class monitor.”Someone's eyes lit up.
"The primeval stones aren't the main point. The main point is that positions like class monitor and vice class monitor represent glory, and their status must also be above others. When normal apprentices saw their class monitor, they would have to bow and greet him.”Mo Bei, Chi Cheng, and the others did not lack primeval stones. They attached great importance to this glory.
"Becoming class monitor, that's right, the first to advance to Rank one middle stage! I want my younger brother to bow and greet me when he sees me in the future. Wait, where's my brother?" Meng Chenggong subconsciously looked back, but Meng Fanchen's seat was already empty. The apprentices walked out of the Martial Arts Hall one after another.
"Where's Meng Fanchen?" Mo Bei wanted to find Meng Fanchen and ask him in person. However, Meng Fanchen had already left.
"Hmph, you ran quite fast. Was he afraid? It seemed that he had gotten lucky again in today's assessment.”Chi Cheng sneered.
Forget it, it's just a reward of ten primeval stones. There's no need to care about such things. The most important thing now is to advance to the middle rank and obtain the position of class monitor.”Mo Bei narrowed his eyes and looked at Chi Cheng and Meng Chenggong beside him. These two people were his true opponents. As for Meng Fanchen, he was merely a middle-grade talent and was no match for him.
"The first two times, Meng Fanchen was lucky enough to get first place. However, the cultivation assessment this time only focused on cultivation aptitude. The higher the aptitude, the greater the advantage.”Chi Cheng felt depressed. His true talent was only middle-grade. It was only because he cheated that he had the illusion of being high-grade.
"One class monitor and two vice-class monitors. They're already rubbing their fists. What a hot-blooded and naive age.”Meng Fanchen leaned against the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall and sneered in his heart. The so-called glory was just a tool for the superior to mobilize the enthusiasm of his subordinates. At the root of it all, it was just an illusory halo. What use was it! After several hundred years of life experience, Meng Fanchen had long understood the mystery behind it.
"No matter if it's a sect, a clan, or a demonic sect, no matter if it's this world or Earth, any organization is like this. Setting up high and low positions, clear promotion rules, so that the people in the organization could continuously climb up from the low positions. Because it was human nature to pursue profits, and power often made people have the illusion that they were superior and that their lives were more valuable than ordinary people.”"Power is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey. People's enthusiasm is stimulated by it, and one by one, they keep trying to gain power. Climbing up one level, there was still a higher level. Little did they know that in the process of gaining power, their labor force was exploited, and the value produced was exploited by the superior.”
" All organizations, as long as they have a subordinate relationship, serve the higher-ups. The so-called class monitor and vice class monitor were like the smallest carrot, luring others into the organization's system. In order to prevent the lower-ranking people from seeing this truth, the higher-ups often unified their values, defined the concepts of glory, merit, and so on. They set up high and low positions of power, unequal benefits, or used religion to rule the hearts of the people.”
"This is the truth. Unfortunately, most people in the world don't understand it and foolishly work hard for others. All the organizations in the world had the same fundamental nature, which was to redistribute resources. The higher the level, the more resources they enjoyed.”In his previous life, Meng Fanchen had founded the Blood Bat Demonic Sect in Central Continent and had tens of thousands of disciples. He also set up Demon Soldier, Demon General, Demon Commander, and other positions, giving them the corresponding benefits. Countless people flocked to Meng Fanchen and were driven by him. Such an experience made him understand the truth.
"Therefore, any organization is just a facade. The real foundation is only one word-resources. Without food, one would starve to death. Without resources to drink, one would die of thirst. Without cultivation resources, one would be weak and would be bullied to death sooner or later.”
"And primeval stones are the primary resource for Gu Masters to cultivate!”Meng Fanchen's eyes were as deep as a lake. At the thought of this, the corners of his lips curled up into a cold smile. He had left the Martial Arts Hall early in the morning. At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall. He saw the first batch of apprentices walking out and gradually approaching him.
"It's Meng Fanchen."
"Why is he blocking the entrance?"
"Hmph, every time I see his arrogant look, I get very annoyed.”
"Don't worry about him. He's probably waiting for someone.”The youths did not mind and were about to walk over when Meng Fanchen stepped forward and stopped them.""Robbery. Everyone had to hand over a primeval stone before they could leave.”
