The summer rain continued for four days before it finally stopped.
The sun rose high into the sky and lifted the curtain of rain, as if it was the beginning of summer.
Xia Tian's aura was getting stronger and stronger. The weather became clearer and the lingering air of spring was gone. The temperature gradually rose. In the summer night, the active Aomaru crickets retired. They lurked deep underground to lay eggs. The green trees that were unique to Qingcheng Mountain began to grow crazily, growing taller almost every day.
The leaves of the plants started to turn from emerald green to dark green. The green mountains stretched on, looking even more lush. The sky was clear and blue like crystal.
Pa, pa, pa. The sound of fists and legs clashing could be heard in the Martial Arts Hall's Martial Arts Practice Field.
After exchanging more than ten moves, Meng Fanchen kicked Mo Bei in the abdomen. He staggered back five to six steps, retreating out of the circle drawn on the ground. The martial arts instructor stood below the stage and presided over the scene. Upon seeing this, he immediately announced," Mo Bei has been knocked out of the arena. Meng Fanchen has won 30 matches in a row!”
"Hmph, I lost to you again this time." Mo Bei gritted his teeth and stared at Meng Fanchen." But don't be arrogant." One day, I will defeat you. And I can already feel that this day is getting closer and closer!”
Meng Fanchen looked at him expressionlessly before lowering his eyelids.""That kick just now has already caused internal bleeding. You'd better treat your internal injuries first.”
"What is this small injury?" Mo Bei had just retorted half a sentence when his expression suddenly changed. His throat could not help but roll as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale. This was the first time he had suffered such an injury! His eyes could not help but reveal a look of fear.
The martial arts instructor quickly walked over and comforted him,"Don't worry, this injury has been treated and will be fine after a few days of rest. However, he had to stop practicing boxing for the next few days and could not do any more intense activities.”As soon as he finished speaking, two healing Gu Masters who were waiting outside rushed over and carefully helped Mo Bei out.
Mo Bei didn't dare to speak anymore. He looked deeply at Meng Fanchen, his eyes filled with anger, resentment, regret, and unwillingness.
"Although Mo Bei's martial arts are good, he's still no match for Meng Fanchen.”
"Meng Fanchen is too powerful. No one can defeat him!”
"Mo Bei was actually beaten until he vomited blood. I don't want to fight with this guy."
"Sigh, but the instructor said that today is actual combat practice and a battle! Everyone had to go up and fight.”The acolytes stood outside the arena. Some of them looked at Meng Fanchen with fear, some sighed, some looked pale, and some were on tenterhooks. Some of them were injured. Some covered their bruised faces, some held their arms, gasping. Some of them were lying on the ground, rubbing their thighs.
"Next!" After a long time, no one went up again. The instructor shouted. However, no one answered. Usually, only Mo Bei, Chi Cheng, and Meng Chenggong had the courage to challenge Meng Fanchen. However, these three people had already been beaten down.
The acolytes were silent, and some even retreated slightly. The instructor looked at the timid expressions of the apprentices and frowned. He couldn't help but recall the words the Martial Arts Hall Elder had told him: "These days, Meng Fanchen's limelight is too great. I have to suppress him. All the other acolytes were suppressed by him until they could not raise their heads. If this continued, the courage in their hearts would also be worn out. Our Martial Arts Hall cultivates tigers and wolves who dare to fight against strong enemies, not lambs who are afraid of battle.”
"What's wrong with you guys? No matter how strong Meng Fanchen is, he's only sixteen years old. He's your peer! He's the same age as you, eats the same food as you, and drinks the same water as you. He did not have three heads and six arms. He was not a monster! Pick up your courage and let me see the pride of the Qingcheng Monastery buried in your hearts!”The instructor roared, trying his best to encourage the acolytes.
"But he's really too strong. We can't beat him at all.”
"The classmates who fought with him were all so miserable. Mo Bei was even beaten until he vomited blood.”
"Meng Fanchen is getting more and more violent. Instructor, we don't dare to fight him.”The acolytes retorted in low voices.
The instructor was so angry that he almost stomped his foot. These ignorant kids! He could clearly see that Meng Fanchen did not get any rest after 30 rounds. Although he had been adjusting his breathing, he was running out of energy.
Meng Fanchen's attacks were getting heavier and heavier. He was no longer as skilled as before. He had gradually lost control of the situation. If he put in more effort, he would be able to force him to show his fatigue. A few more people would be able to knock him down on the spot!
Once Meng Fanchen was defeated, his deterrence would drop drastically. The acolytes 'courage would be roused, and the goal of suppressing Meng Fanchen would be achieved.
But now, the apprentices were all intimidated by Meng Fanchen's tiger skin.
Sometimes, it was not the strong enemy that defeated people, but their own hearts. The instructor was anxious and continued to encourage him. However, he was not good with words. What he had said earlier was the same as what he had said earlier, which had aroused the hot-blooded blood of the youths and provoked some challengers. But now that this had been said too many times, the youths had become numb to it.
Meng Fanchen crossed his arms as he watched everything unfold. Although he was standing in the center of the field, he was like an irrelevant outsider. The instructor encouraged them for a long time, but the apprentices still looked at each other. No one moved.
The instructor couldn't help but feel angry and helpless. He turned around to face Meng Fanchen and reprimanded,""Meng Fanchen, you're in the wrong too. You're getting more and more ruthless. When sparring with classmates, you should be more gentle and friendly. How could you be so ruthless? Next, you have to pay more attention and be careful. If you beat your classmate until he vomits blood again, I'll judge you as the loser and let you off the stage!”
"Instructor, you are wrong." Meng Fanchen snorted coldly. He did not show any weakness in his eyes and faced the instructor." We naturally have to go all out in a duel. Otherwise, how can it be effective in training? Could it be that in future battles, we can also ask our enemies to be gentle and friendly?”
The instructor was furious." Hmph! You're vicious! You hurt your classmate and you still dare to twist logic!"”
Instructor, you're wrong again." " Hmph!" Meng Fanchen sneered," You were the one who arranged this sparring match and raised the reward to 20 primeval stones. Without your encouragement, would these people have been injured?”
"Bastard!" The martial arts instructor was not good with words. He pointed at Meng Fanchen and roared," Do you still want the first place reward? If you continue to quibble, even if you get first place, I will still judge you to lose! You're so ununited and unfriendly, and you've even contradicted your teacher without permission. How can you be qualified to receive twenty primeval stones as a reward!”
" Hahaha!" Meng Fanchen laughed." It's just a win or loss. It's just twenty primeval stones. Do you think I care?"”With that, he turned around and walked out of the center of the arena under everyone's stunned gazes.
Even though the image wall was not sold, Meng Fanchen had several hundred primeval stones. Moreover, he didn't go on stage for primeval stones.
"You!" Seeing Meng Fanchen walk down the stage, the instructor could not help but be dumbfounded, revealing a shocked and confused expression. Shouldn't a sixteen-year-old youth be full of vigor and courage? With Meng Fanchen's talent in battle, his temperament should be the same. Why did he just leave?
Furthermore, Meng Fanchen did not provide any support, so he should be in a tight spot. Why couldn't these twenty primeval stones attract him? For a moment, the instructor was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do. Meng Fanchen didn't fall for the trap and left the stage.
The instructor suddenly realized that he really couldn't do anything to Meng Fanchen. With his status, he couldn't just blatantly pick a fight and force Meng Fanchen to fight, right? The surrounding acolytes retreated, keeping a distance from Meng Fanchen. Meng Fanchen stood below the stage with no one around him. With him as the center, a circular empty area appeared within ten steps.
It was a pity. If they were standing beside Meng Fanchen, they would have heard him trying his best to suppress his breathing.
"I don't have enough stamina." Meng Fanchen sighed in his heart. On the surface, he looked energetic, but his body was actually trembling under his clothes. His body was only sixteen years old after all, and he did not have the help of any relevant Gu worms. He had already reached his limit by fighting thirty consecutive battles. Although they had rich combat experience from their previous lives, the other youths 'martial arts had improved greatly during this period of time. Meng Fanchen could already feel an increasing pressure from them.
This pressure was directly reflected in Meng Fanchen's attack. His attacks became more and more intense, and he gradually could not stop. In the past, the apprentices were too weak, so he was able to handle them easily. The youngsters only suffered bruises at most. But now, his control over the situation was getting weaker and weaker. He had to be more serious to stabilize the situation.
"Experience isn't everything. Any invisible power needed a material foundation to be unleashed.”Meng Fanchen narrowed his eyes. Actually, he had already seen through the instructor's thoughts.
He wasn't surprised. He had already expected that there would be pressure from the Martial Arts Hall. Ever since he killed Ah Da, the number of people who dared to challenge him had decreased. When he was extorting, many people were forced by his pressure and did not dare to resist, obediently contributing their primeval stones.
In the long run, Meng Fanchen's invincible image would be established. It left a shadow in the hearts of the other youths, making them not confident in their own martial arts from the beginning. This was something that the Martial Arts Hall Elder absolutely did not want to see. He needed Meng Fanchen to help his apprentices improve, but he did not want Meng Fanchen to completely destroy their fighting spirit.
He wanted to see Meng Fanchen fail. Once Meng Fanchen failed, the invincible image he had built up in the early stages would crumble and be destroyed. At the same time, it awakened the other acolytes 'passion for battle. Furthermore, after a setback, it could even shape their unyielding fighting will.
However, to Meng Fanchen, he needed such deterrence to make it easier for him to extort primeval stones. If he lost, the youths would realize his weakness and attack him together. Although Meng Fanchen had a lot of primeval stones on hand, robbery and extortion were his main source of primeval stones. Without this source, he would become water without a source.
Hence, Meng Fanchen had gone up and fought thirty battles in a row. His true goal was not the twenty primeval stones reward, but to maintain his deterrence. If he avoided the battle from the start, it would only show his weakness. However, if they continued fighting, they would probably be exposed.
"What are you all standing there for? Who else hasn't gone up the ring? The first place is a reward of twenty primeval stones. Don't you want it?”The instructor was stunned for a moment before he shouted.
The remaining acolytes immediately became excited. Meng Fanchen had already left the stage. It was as if a huge rock had been lifted from their hearts.
"I'll go!"
"I'll do it!" The two teenagers scrambled to jump into the arena and exchanged blows.
"Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I would have waited too. I wouldn't have been in a hurry to go up and get kicked off the stage by Meng Fanchen.”
"What a pity. I didn't expect Meng Fanchen to take the initiative.”
"He's really bold. Look, even the instructor can't do anything to him.”
The instructor heard the whispers behind him and immediately felt that his prestige was constantly declining. He was extremely frustrated and really wanted to punish Meng Fanchen. However, Meng Fanchen did not do anything wrong. Taking the initiative to enter the arena was allowed.
The instructor was depressed and helpless. In the end, he looked at Meng Fanchen and glared at him.
The corners of Meng Fanchen's lips curled up slightly as he thought,""Such shallow methods, this instructor is really cute.”
