"Why should I stop him?" The Martial Arts Hall Elder raised his eyebrows and laughed. He extended his finger and pointed at Meng Fanchen." This kid is already in control of the situation. He knows what to do. Look at how he cuts people's necks. He only cuts the left and right sides, never the back of their heads. This was because he also knew that cutting the left and right sides of the neck could make a person faint on the spot. Chopping the back of the head and neck had the possibility of death, so he voluntarily gave up on such an attack method.”
"Look at these youths on the ground. Which one of them is seriously injured? No! Even if he is seriously injured, so what? With the healing Gu Masters in our medicine hall, can't they treat this kind of injury?”
"But Lord Elder, this kid is too arrogant. Blocking the entrance like this doesn't put us guards in their eyes at all. It's fine if we're ignored, but the key is how the disciples will view us. He actually allowed a mere middle-ranked apprentice to cause a ruckus in the Martial Arts Hall without stopping him. If this matter gets out, it will probably affect your reputation.”The guard narrowed his eyes and said.
"Hmph, you guys feel that your dignity has been offended by this kid, right?”The Martial Arts Hall Elder was displeased. He sneered and swept his sharp gaze over. All the guards lowered their heads, not daring to do so.
"What's wrong with fighting? As long as no one died, it would stimulate the competitive spirit of the apprentices and temper their fighting spirit. If we were to ban such fights, it would be killing the acolytes 'passion for battle! Were there no fights in the previous years? There were fights in every year, and they happened very frequently. It was just that in the past, it was in the latter half of the year. The youths had mastered some combat techniques. Once they had strength, they could not help but itch to fight. It was also the age where they were aggressive. Why didn't you stop these people in the past?”The Martial Arts Hall Elder questioned coldly.
"Perhaps it's because the previous competitions were all individual battles and rarely had such a large-scale one. However, this Meng Fanchen was really too good at causing trouble!”The guard leader replied.
"No, no, no." The Martial Arts Hall Elder shook his head." That's because you don't dare to stop me. Because after half a year, Gu Masters will have battle strength that surpasses mortals, with your mortal bodies, what can you do to stop them? Now, you want to stop Meng Fanchen because you think that he has just started cultivating and is not strong enough. They also felt that he had ignored them and that his dignity had been violated. But you have to remember, these apprentices are all Gu Masters! He is a disciple of my Qingcheng Monastery, your master! No matter how young or weak he is, he is still your master!”The elder's tone suddenly turned stern.
"You are not Gu Masters, what are you? Seeing your loyalty, I'll give you the position of guard and reward you with some benefits. But in reality, you are still slaves. They were just slaves! A servant dared to talk about his master and meddle in his master's affairs?”The elder's face was gloomy.
"This subordinate didn't mean it that way, that's not what I meant!”
"This subordinate does not dare! This subordinate does not dare!" The guards were so frightened that their faces turned ashen. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The Martial Arts Hall elder snorted coldly and pointed at the guard leader who had said that Meng Fanchen was too noisy.""You're talking nonsense about the master and removing the leader's position.”After a pause, the elder said to the others,"After half a month, we will reassess the new leader.”The eyes of the other guards lit up, and their hearts suddenly became excited.
"The guard leader can get an extra half a primeval stone every month!”
"To be able to become a leader is to be above others. Other than the masters, who else would dare to give me face?”
"If I become the leader, how glorious would it be…"
"Alright, what are you all doing here? Get out of here and clean up the place after the fight is over!”The elder berated.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"This subordinate will take his leave!" The guards went downstairs in fear. As they walked up the stairs, someone stumbled and fell down. Immediately, a series of sounds of people falling to the ground were heard. However, due to the might of the Martial Arts Hall Elder, the guards 'faces turned red. They endured it with great difficulty and did not make any other noise.
"Hmph, this servant is like a dog. Every once in a while, the bones all over my body itch. I have to beat them to let them know respect. Then throw out some dog bones for small profits and let them fight each other to the death for our sect. The so-called big stick in one hand and carrot in the other, this was the only way for those in power.”The Martial Arts Hall Elder heard the commotion downstairs and sneered smugly in his heart. He turned his head and looked at the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall through the window.
On the ground at the entrance, there were more than ten new apprentices. Meng Fanchen stood proudly with his head held high. Opposite him were three young ladies who were huddled together with their backs against each other. "You, you, don't come over!"
"If you come any closer, we'll shoot you with our round blades!!”A layer of green light appeared on their hands, it seemed that they were forced into a corner and used their primeval essence to activate the Green Light Gu. Meng Fanchen's body was still that of an ordinary sixteen-year-old youth. If they were to launch a round blade attack, it would be difficult to deal with them. However, he was not afraid. He sneered disdainfully and approached the girls step by step."You guys are really bold. Have you forgotten the rules of the Martial Arts Hall? Gu worms were not allowed to be used in fights in the Martial Arts Hall, or they would be expelled. If you want to be expelled, go ahead.”
" This…" The girls hesitated.
"There is indeed such a rule." The green light in their hands gradually dissipated. Meng Fanchen's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he saw through this opening. He charged forward and waved his hands, slashing two of them unconscious. There was only one left. His fighting spirit was gone, and his knees went soft as he collapsed to the ground. She cried her eyes out and begged Meng Fanchen,""Meng Fanchen, don't come over. Please let me go.”Meng Fanchen looked down at the young lady from above as his cold voice rang out,""One primeval stone." The young lady's body trembled as she came to a realization. She quickly opened her purse and took out three to four primeval stones. She held them in her hands and raised them to Meng Fanchen."Don't hit me. I'll give you everything. I'll give you everything!”Meng Fanchen was expressionless as he slowly extended his right hand. He extended his index finger and thumb and gently pinched out a primeval stone from the young lady's hand. The young lady's body trembled non-stop. Meng Fanchen's hand was pale and slender, but in her eyes, it was as terrifying as a demonic claw.
"I already said that I would only take one primeval stone.”Meng Fanchen paused for a moment before saying calmly," You can leave now."”The young girl stared at Meng Fanchen for a while before she tried to get up. However, her limbs were weak and she could not even stand up. Her heart was filled with fear of Meng Fanchen, so much so that she could not muster any strength.
The Martial Arts Hall Elder shook his head when he saw this scene. Taking this opportunity to discover the combat talents of the acolytes was also one of his objectives. Although this girl lying on the ground had middle grade aptitude, with this kind of mentality, she could only be a logistics Gu Master and work in the sect, she could not be expected to go to the battlefield.
" As for this Meng Fanchen…" The Martial Arts Hall Elder rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes. He felt that this Meng Fanchen was really interesting. Not only did he have talent in combat, but he also knew how to behave. Extorting only one primeval stone did not cross his bottom line. However, if Meng Fanchen wanted to extort two pieces, that would be too much. He would have to intervene. The allowance in the Martial Arts Hall was originally only three yuan. Being blackmailed for a piece was not a big deal. However, if he wanted to extort two yuan, why would he give out subsidies? He might as well give them all to Meng Fanchen.
Soon, the last batch of acolytes arrived. There were only five of them, and one of them was Meng Fanchen's twin brother.
"Brother, how could you do this? You're too bold, you actually beat up your classmates at the entrance and extorted their primeval stones!”Meng Chenggong was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe the scene in front of him." I advise you to apologize to the Martial Arts Hall Elder quickly. Otherwise, you'll cause such a big trouble. It's no joke. You might even be expelled!"”"You're right." Meng Fanchen smiled.”
Meng Chenggong let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that his brother was not completely crazy. It was good that he could listen to persuasion. However, he soon heard Meng Fanchen say,""One primeval stone per person."
"What?" Meng Chenggong's jaw dropped in surprise." Even I have to hand it over?”
"My cute brother, of course you don't have to hand it over.”Meng Fanchen's tone was very gentle." However, you will end up like them.”Meng Fanchen pointed at the youths who were either unconscious or groaning on the ground.
"You won't even let your own brother off!"
" This Meng Fanchen is crazy. He's too despicable…"
"We can't beat him. A wise man doesn't know when to lose. It's better to hand over the current difficulties first.”
"That's right, pay the primeval stones first. In any case, it's only one. When we return and report to the master, he'll suffer!”With the previous incident as a lesson, the remaining youths obediently accepted Meng Fanchen's extortion with indignant looks in their eyes.
"Wait a moment." Just as they were about to leave, Meng Fanchen stopped them.
Meng Fanchen, are you going back on your word?”The youths immediately became nervous. Meng Fanchen looked at the youths and sighed softly,""Do you really think that I would squat down and search them one by one?”The youths were stunned for a moment before they came to a realization. Their faces flushed red as they stood in place hesitantly. Meng Fanchen stared at them and narrowed his eyes. A cold light flashed in their eyes, and the five youths immediately felt their hearts palpitate. At the same time, they felt their scalps go numb.
"Alright, Meng Fanchen, we understand what you mean.”
"I'll help you this time." Due to Meng Fanchen's tyrannical power, they could only lower their heads and search for the youth's money pouches on the ground, taking out a primeval stone from them. Then, he gathered them together and handed them over to Meng Fanchen. There were a total of 58 people in the class, and each of them was blackmailed and robbed of one primeval stone. Meng Fanchen had 57 primeval stones in his hands. He originally had 20 yuan, but he spent 10 yuan to buy a few jars of Qingcheng wine. Adding on his own allowance and rewards, he now had eighty primeval stones on hand.
"Robbery and extortion are the most profitable businesses.”Meng Fanchen pocketed the money pouch that had suddenly increased in value and swaggered away. The youths were left lying dead on the ground. There were also a few youths, including Meng Chenggong, who were staring blankly at Meng Fanchen's departing figure.
"Hurry up."
"Hurry up and make proper arrangements for the little masters.”
"Where's the healing Gu Master, please come over!”The guards shouted and rushed forward, competing to show off. For the sake of a small leader position, they were full of enthusiasm.
