"Hey, brother! You've already beaten Zhuang Yu and made it into the top - fifteen students of Tianjiao Camp. According to the camp's rules, you can only challenge one person per day. Since you've already had your challenge today, you can't touch me!" Yuan Yifei rattled off these words in a hurry. He'd never spoken so rapidly in his life, his words tumbling out like a machine - gun. Facing Fang Yuan, who was charging at him with a menacing air, he could only resort to citing the rules, hoping to deter him.
But instead of a reply, Fang Yuan's response was a fist as big as a boulder, growing rapidly in Yuan Yifei's line of sight. A terrifying gust of wind, propelled by the incoming fist, rushed straight towards his face.
In a state of panic, Yuan Yifei instinctively unleashed his most powerful martial move. He hunched his body, and the surface of his entire body seemed to transform into something like solid, dark - hued rock. A thick, faintly visible turtle - like shell emerged, covered densely with sharp spikes, looking indestructible. It was his martial art, [Spiked Turtle Shell]!
Yet, Fang Yuan's fist didn't slow down for this. It barreled forward with the force of a raging storm. With a sharp "crack," visible shockwaves spread out. This single punch directly shattered Yuan Yifei's spiked turtle shell and, without the slightest hesitation, landed square on his chin.
"Bang!!!" Yuan Yifei was sent flying high into the air. He soared over five meters before crashing back down to the ground, and immediately passed out, as if in a deep, baby - like slumber. Well, Yifei, Yifei, he really did take to the air!
[Teaching two second - realm martial artists the meaning of humility, 15 good - deed points added] As the prompt from "The Book of Good Deeds" rang in Fang Yuan's mind, the two who had been taunting him earlier now lay sprawled on the ground, one in a heap and the other in a mess.
"Do I need to care about rules to teach you a lesson? The fact that you pissed me off is more than enough reason!" Fang Yuan snorted coldly. He pulled his gaze away from Yuan Yifei and calmly straightened his ruffled clothes.
Among the top - fifteen students in Tianjiao Camp, those at the top were rather low - key. In contrast, these two at the bottom, ranked thirteenth and fourteenth, were extremely arrogant. It was like in a game where the player with an outstanding kill - death ratio stayed quiet, while the one with a lousy record kept taunting in the public chat. They were the typical sort who were weak but overly vocal. Now that Fang Yuan had given them a good thrashing, they'd likely be much more humble in the future.
With Fang Yuan's lightning - fast defeat of two students, the entire Tianjiao Camp suddenly fell into a deathly silence. The expressions on the students' faces were a study in shock. In Tianjiao Camp, there were indeed some who had gotten in through money and connections. But those who'd made it to the top - fifteen were without a doubt one - in - a - million geniuses from all over Jianghai Prefecture. Each of them was so powerful that others couldn't help but be convinced. Take Yuan Yifei, for example. He'd poured all his efforts into defense. His turtle - shell - like martial art was extremely difficult to break through. If you attacked him, he'd be fine while you might end up seriously hurt. But now... with just a casual punch, this new - comer had smashed his turtle shell to bits, and he now lay on the ground, looking as pathetic as a discarded rag. Looking at the new - comer's hand, it was still as fair and smooth as porcelain, not even a scratch on it... Where on earth did this monstrously talented person come from? They hadn't even set up the gambling bets yet, and the battle was already over, and what's more, it was a double - win for this newcomer!
Not only the ordinary students, but also the top - fifteen geniuses present wore solemn expressions and felt a shiver down their spines after witnessing this scene. During Fang Yuan's battle, they'd sensed his cultivation level: the third realm! In Tianjiao Camp, there were only two students who'd reached the third realm, and both of them were older than Fang Yuan. Considering his decisive and quick - to - attack nature at the slightest provocation... Damn, it was like the arrival of the Grim Reaper!
Just like the old saying "punish one to scare the rest," after Fang Yuan's display, the other students in Tianjiao Camp became much more polite all of a sudden. They didn't even dare to look Fang Yuan in the eye.
Fang Yuan casually picked up Yuan Yifei and tossed him far away. Now, the thirteenth wooden house was his, and he certainly wasn't going to let anyone sleep on his turf. Then, he called out to Lin Jing in the distance, "Master Lin, I'm going in first." Lin Jing nodded and replied, "Okay."
Fang Yuan turned and entered the wooden house. Bai Feng, on the other hand, was still exclaiming non - stop, "Wow, so powerful. Brother Fang is incredibly strong..." But since Brother Fang hadn't greeted him when entering the house, it seemed that he wasn't considered one of the inner circle. Well, he still needed to keep working hard...
Just as he was thinking this, Bai Feng saw Lin Jing beside him suddenly move. She quickly walked up to the fourteenth wooden house, picked up Zhuang Yu, and in the same way as Fang Yuan, threw him out. Then, Lin Jing turned and entered the fourteenth wooden house.
This series of actions left Bai Feng completely dumbfounded. Holy moly, she was taking advantage of the situation?!! Was there such a trick? Was this Miss Lin so smart? Why hadn't he thought of it?
Not only Bai Feng, but the surrounding ordinary students were also astounded. This beautiful girl had managed to claim a spot without any effort at all! Sigh... it was a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment. Should they try to challenge her now? But then they remembered that this girl seemed to be with that terrifying new - comer... Forget it, they'd better think it over. After all, they were already used to living in those thatched huts, and there was no rush.
On the other side, Fang Yuan entered the wooden house and looked around. There was a bed, a wardrobe, and a few tables and chairs. It was quite simple, but it was far better than those rickety thatched huts. Indeed, everything was relative.
In addition, Fang Yuan noticed a medicinal herb on the table. This herb was different from the usual ones. It gave off an indescribable charm. Even though he knew nothing about medicinal herbs, he could tell that it was likely a ginseng. This should be the medicinal herb distributed by Tianjiao Camp every month. Why was it left here unclaimed? Well, he'd happily take it. But how should he consume it? Eat it raw, cook it, or soak it in wine...
Just as Fang Yuan was carefully pondering, Lin Jing suddenly knocked on the door. "Fang Yuan, I've taken the fourteenth wooden house." As soon as Fang Yuan opened the door, Lin Jing said, with a tone of asking for permission, "Is that okay?" Fang Yuan readily agreed, "Sure. After all, I can't live in two houses by myself."
"By the way, Master Lin, you're here at the right time. How should I take this medicinal herb?" He pointed to the ginseng on the table. Lin Jing turned to look and was immediately impressed. "Wow, a hundred - year - old ginseng. Looking at the roots and the patterns... it's at least five hundred years old!" She couldn't help but sigh. "No wonder it's from Guanghan Palace. The medicinal herbs distributed to students are so precious. You can take it directly, but it's best to take it before practicing. That way, it will have the best effect." Presumably, this was left by Yuan Yifei. He just hadn't had a chance to eat it before being beaten up and thrown out by Fang Yuan. Well, later she had to go back to her house and check to see if Zhuang Yu had left any precious medicinal herbs as well.
"I see..." Fang Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he decided to keep the ginseng for now. Now that he had a place to live and a medicinal herb, it was time to focus on learning. With this thought in mind, Fang Yuan got up and walked outside.
"Where are you going?" Lin Jing asked.
"Of course, to study hard. Care to join me?"
"Sure."
