Chapter 239 Shifting Winds and Clouds
On September 16th, the four magic and martial arts masters returned, and the other six masters returned to their posts.
Old Liu went back to the underground caves in Shanghai to guard them, while Lü Fengrou stayed at the school with nothing to do.
Wu Kuishan and Huang Jing thought this was fine, after all, they wouldn't feel comfortable letting Lü Fengrou do anything.
After returning, Wu Kuishan and Fang Ping discussed the matter and announced the new policy, taking advantage of the momentum.
Fang Ping also suggested kicking out the non-martial arts students in their third and fourth years and those who lack ambition, since the resources they fought for were not meant to support these parasites.
Wu Kuishan adopted this suggestion, and Huang Jing also agreed. They had previously planned to wait a while longer.
But now that we've secured these resources—resources earned with blood and lives—how can we allow them to continue enjoying them?
The final announcement stated that the benefits of Magic Martial Arts University had increased, and the difficulty of obtaining credits had decreased.
What used to cost ten tuition fees might now only be twenty credits, while the purchasing power remains the same.
This means that doing the same task will yield more resources and a greater improvement.
This made the students of Magic Martial Arts University extremely happy, and they cheered continuously.
At the same time, Magic Martial Arts University warned all freshmen that they must break through to the first rank before their sophomore year. Those who do not reach the first rank will be expelled as non-martial arts students above the second year. If they do not reach the first rank martial artist in the next semester, they will be expelled.
To prevent those who have reached the level of martial artist from becoming complacent, the requirements for martial artist level have been increased. All those who have reached the first-grade martial artist level or above have been given corresponding tasks and assessments. Otherwise, simply increasing resources would turn the students of Magic Martial Arts University into mere Qi and Blood martial artists.
These regulations caused the students, who were just happy, to start complaining. However, once the regulations were issued, they could not be changed, so they could only work harder to cultivate, complete tasks, acquire resources, and improve quickly. After all, they didn't want to be expelled, as the reputation of Magic Martial Arts University was very important to those people.
For the top students in each grade, they are not worried about being expelled, so in their eyes it is a completely good thing.
Not only did they earn more credits, but their classmates' abilities were also forced to improve, making it much safer for them to act together in the future.
Those third- and fourth-year students who were not martial artists tried to evade this judgment by contacting various people through various means. After all, they had wasted several years and it would be quite difficult for them to reach the level of martial artist in one semester. However, they were ultimately disappointed, since the resources this time were fought for by the ten grandmasters.
Wu Kuishan would never tolerate these parasites causing trouble, so it was useless for anyone to come; they could only hope that they could break through on their own.
On September 27th, after more than a month of seclusion, Qin Fengqing successfully reached the peak of the fifth rank. Now he is just one step away from the sixth rank.
Just in case, he still summoned Wang Jinyang. He also wanted to see if he was indeed a resurrected martial artist. Although Lu Hao had denied it, he still held onto some hope until he saw the truth, so he asked Wang Jinyang to guard him.
As for Lu Hao, he didn't notify him. After all, he had heard that Lu Hao was in seclusion and it was not good to disturb him.
Two days later, Qin Fengqing also broke through at the same spot where Wang Jinyang had broken through. After all, with Old Wang ahead of him, he might be able to obtain a divine weapon as well.
Just as Lu Hao had predicted, Qin Fengqing's three gates were the normal Three Jiao Gates, and he was not a resurrected martial artist.
Although somewhat disappointed, this successful advancement was still something for him to be happy about.
From now on, Qin Fengqing is a sixth-grade martial artist, just one step away from becoming a grandmaster. He can now be considered a high-end combatant.
Having just completed his breakthrough, Qin Fengqing felt his strength had increased countless times, so he immediately began fighting Wang Jinyang in the sea.
The result was quite simple and clear. Qin Fengqing was defeated in just over a hundred moves. After all, Wang Jinyang had already broken through a month ago. Although his progress in sealing the gate was slow, his control over qi and blood and his manipulation of combat techniques were far superior to those of Qin Fengqing, who had just broken through.
After learning that Wang Jinyang would have nothing else to do, Qin Fengqing left him at Magic Martial Arts Academy. The two of them wanted to further improve their combat power by focusing on their control of Qi and Blood.
So Qin Fengqing learned from Wang Jinyang to improve his control over qi and blood, while Wang Jinyang had a living punching bag, which also allowed him to improve significantly.
And so the two settled down in the southern sea area of Magic Martial Arts, where they would engage in several battles almost every day.
As the number of battles increased, Qin Fengqing's improvement became obvious. From initially holding out for over a hundred moves, she gradually improved, and within a few days she was able to fight Wang Jinyang on equal terms. (October 10th)
The National First-Class Martial Arts Tournament kicked off at Magic Martial Arts University.
This was initiated by Fang Ping after he took office. It not only enhances the reputation of Magic Martial Arts School, but also brings in considerable revenue. The seven-day competition generated four to five hundred million in net income for Magic Martial Arts School. Calculated at this rate, and including other competitions, it could provide Magic Martial Arts School with around two billion in profits annually.
That's not a small number for magic weapons either.
Moreover, in order to attract others and prevent other martial arts schools from imitating Fang Ping, he also brought out a lot of healing pills, even life-restoring pills. To outsiders, Magic Martial Arts School was completely losing money to make a name for itself, but the truth is that Magic Martial Arts School built its own production line, and the cost of these pills was not as high as imagined.
Add in ticket fees, sponsorship fees, broadcasting fees and other revenue streams, and Magic Martial Arts University actually earns four or five hundred million from a single competition. This is a true win-win situation for both fame and fortune. If other martial arts universities wanted to imitate this, the cost of pills alone would bankrupt them.
On October 20th, the Nanjiang Underground Cave will open. Fang Ping, invited by Zhang Dingnan, ostensibly wants to go to Nanjiang to discuss the matter of the Magic Martial Arts Academy supporting the Underground Cave, but his real purpose is to lure out the evil cult martial artists hidden in the dark.
Just in case, Fang Ping invited four high-ranking experts—Tian Mu (rank 8), Kou Bianjiang (rank 8), Chen Yaoting (rank 7), and Liu Polu (rank 7)—to secretly protect him. After all, outsiders knew about his talent; he escaped from a rank 6 when he was only rank 3, and now he's rank 4. So the underground cave would definitely send high-ranking experts. Plus, he's the president of the martial arts club at Magic Martial Arts Academy and a native of Nanjiang. He's practically got all the buffs. So the cult would definitely not let him go. Even if it's a trap, the cult has no choice but to fall into it. So this time, it all depends on their methods.
Ultimately, a great battle broke out in Jian'an. The cult acted decisively, deploying one eighth-rank master and two seventh-rank grandmasters for this operation.
But they didn't expect Fang Ping to be even more cunning, directly inviting four grandmasters. In the end, all three cult grandmasters fell here.
This fishing trip was absolutely perfect.
