Chapter 95: Getting To Know Each Other

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sports Field 1.

The students were in groups of twos or threes while the ones that were alone were mostly new students from Area 1.

As for the other dorm areas, those who were in groups of four were usually from Area 4, while those in groups of three were often from Area 3.

Fang Ping looked around as he walked when he suddenly thought of an important issue and asked, “How is the arrangement like with girls?”

There were only 4 dorm areas for new students, so where were the girls staying?

Fu Changding was taken aback and asked, “You didn’t notice?”

“What?”

“There are girls at Area 1!”

Fu Changding was shocked. “What’s with that look of yours? Or is it that these girls look too much like boys?”

“The girls stay together in Area 2, 3, and 4 while in Area 1, they usually just stay by themselves in their own room.

“Males and females are not separated in martial arts universities. On one hand, it is due to the low number of people and on the other, martial artists do not really care about small details like this.

“Sometimes when martial artists are out on missions, males and females are mixed. During regular times, they can discuss the mission or exchange thoughts about cultivation. It’s easier when everyone is on the same level.”

“Really? I didn’t notice that!” Fang Ping said with surprise.

“If the few girls from Area 1 had heard what you just said, they will probably be after your blood.”

Fu Changding had a look of incredulity on his face. He had already seen the girls earlier when they were going down the stairs but Fang Ping did not even realize it.

Although the few girls they saw were fairly plain, they still clearly had busts. What kind of crappy eyesight did Fang Ping have?

Fang Ping felt slightly awkward. He really did not notice it just now. Mainly because there were too few girls in Area 1. Plus, they were quick to descend from the second floor so he had not been paying attention. When he reached downstairs and saw girls, it never crossed his mind that they might be staying at Area 1 too.

Magic City Martial Art University must be really lax if they actually allowed males and females to mix around.

All youngsters of this age had thriving hormones. Was it okay to have them mixed together?

While Fang Ping was lost in his thoughts, Fu Changding seemed to have guessed his concerns and laughed. “It can also be considered a test.”

“What?”

“A test of determination. Martial artists have to be able to handle loneliness. It’s not like you haven’t cultivated before so you should be able to understand this.

“Time is crucial for us with the Methods of Honing, pole-standing, combat techniques, and cultural studies.

“Cultural studies in MCMAU is different compared to normal universities. Not only does MCMAU have classes for cultural studies, there are also a lot of them. There are also quite a number of specialized classes on martial arts.

“You can imagine how crucial time is with how busy we are going to be. At this point, you still want to get into a relationship?

“If you spend a lot of time on that, you will surely have slower progress compared to others in the coming few years.

“And you think having a girlfriend will give you motivation?

“While it takes up a big chunk of your time, it’s not as if the others are any weaker than you. While you are resting, others are doing their best and as time passes you will naturally be among the last.”

Fang Ping grinned and said, “Even if the school really wanted to test us, shouldn’t they at least make the arrangement to have prettier girls?

“As it stands, I don’t have that kind of thought at all, okay?”

“I’m done with you, you really got some nerve!”

Most of the girls in Area 1 were martial artists. For girls who were able to cultivate until they became martial artists, they had obviously put in a lot more effort than the boys.

These girls were not weak and pampered. If Fang Ping dared ridicule them like that in their faces, it would not be surprising if he earned a thrashing, especially if he had encountered a strong girl.

Fu Changding thought about it for a while and agreed. “True, no wonder the school isn’t worried about us getting too absorbed with the girls.

“Although this is weird. I recall knowing quite a few female geniuses and they all look quite pretty. Why didn’t I encounter any this time?”

Female martial artists usually had a good family background. They were well fed and well cared for since they were children.

It was true that wealthy families produced more beauties. Beauty is related to the genetic factor and also the environmental factor.

Regardless of how much beauty potential a girl had, without enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, their skin would become rougher and darker under the sun. Without properly dealing with acne in time, a beauty would also become an ugly woman as time passed.

On the other hand, a wealthy family was different. Things like temperament, vision, fashion, food... will all be influenced.

As long as the foundation was passable, they usually would not be too ugly unless their foundation was abysmal.

Wealthy families usually marry more beauties into the family in order to improve their genes in subsequent generations.

Fang Ping did not care for Fu Changding’s words.

The fellow had seemed so desperate earlier. Did it look like a person who had seen a true beauty before?

...

As they continued chatting, it had already reached 3 pm.

On the main stage, a middle-aged man with a square jaw shouted all of a sudden, “Get into lines!”

There were only students on the sports field with no instructors or older students around to conduct order.

At first, everyone was puzzled when the man had shouted at them to get into lines before they eventually started lining up into teams. The teams were uneven as some students were still standing outside the queue to chat.

Nobody was scolding them but nobody was coming down to help bring order either.

Three minutes later.

The man shouted again. “We’ve reached the assembly time. For those who are late and not in line, 20 credits will be deducted!”

“Close the gate!”

As the words “close the door” appeared, several students in training clothes who were at the entrance of the sports field quickly closed the iron gate while the students who were still outside the line were rushing to get into them.

It was at this moment that the man’s face turned cold. “Stay where you are!”

The reprimanding shout was accompanied by a Vitality pressure so forceful it was suffocating.

Sports Field 1 was big enough to fit 1000 people but they were only occupying a small space in the middle.

On the other hand, the man was standing on the stage a good ten meters away from the crowd and a hundred meters from those at the back. Even so, the moment the Vitality burst out, the entire sports field felt as if it was saturated with Vitality.

None of the students dared to move as though one movement would turn them into dust.

“How strong!”

In the midst of the crowd, Fang Ping was stunned. What was this strength?

He had seen Rank-3 martial artists before. A Vitality Outburst that could affect a 10-meter radius of their surroundings was already commendable.

He had not seen the mid rankers before but according to Fang Ping’s analysis, for them to be able to affect a 50-meter radius was also considered strong.

Speaking of the effect here, one could only sense it if the Vitality was boiling. Not to mention, this kind of pressure produced from the Vitality strength could push down on a few thousands of students. It was unimaginably strong.

Fang Ping could imagine that if such a strong person were to face an ordinary human army, their Vitality pressure would cause them to lose their fighting power, not daring to move.

“Good day to my fellow students. Let me introduce myself. My name is Huang Jing, dean of the School of Weaponry.”

The square-faced man did not use a microphone or speaker but his words could be heard as clearly as if he had spoken right beside their ears.

“The headmaster is not in the school, and both of the vice principals have business to settle as well. I will be the one to host the new student ceremony!”

Fang Ping understood the implications of his words. Apart from the 3 principals, the dean of the School of Weaponry likely had the highest status in MCMAU which is probably also an acknowledgment of his strength.

According to Wang Jinyang, MCMAU had 4 Grandmasters.

Could this dean of the School of Weaponry be one of the 4 Grandmasters?

Going by Fang Ping’s understanding, the School of Weaponry was considered the most important school.

“Upon entering MCMAU, the first thing I want to teach everyone is to obey the rules!

“Assemble at 3 pm means 3 pm sharp. There’s no negotiating!

“20 credits will be deducted for those who fail to show up, for those who are late, and for those who fail to comply with the rules!”

“20 credit points...that’s asking for someone’s life!”

Someone from the crowd remarked softly. It was obviously a person who had some understanding of MCMAU’s situation.

Huang Jing heard this and said indifferently, “Perhaps some of you don’t quite understand how important are credit points in this school.

“Simply put, in MCMAU, 3 credit points is enough to trade for one regular Vitality pill and 10 credit points could be traded for one Rank-1 Vitality pill.

“You can take 1 credit as 10,000 yuan or understand it as 30,000 yuan in the outside world because the conversion rate of Magic City Martial University is almost one-third of the market price.”

At this moment, Fang Ping was shocked!

Did that not mean that 20 credits could be exchanged for two Rank-1 Vitality pills that are as high as 600,000 yuan at market price!

“MCMAU promises cultivation below Rank-1 to be free!”

On stage, Huang Jing continued, “Although this is not unlimited. New students have 50 credits, which is all the Rank-1 and below cultivation resources that you all have!”

50 credits could be traded for 5 Rank-1 Vitality pills and they were worth 1.5 million in total!

It seemed incredibly generous to give students 50 credit points for free but then again, some people had already lost 20 credits on their first day. Fang Ping could not help but look around sympathetically.

There were quite a few people who were not in the queue, at least a hundred of them. As for those who did not show up or were late, at this moment, there were more than a dozen of them standing outside the metal gate.

Unless money was not an issue for their family, these people had already lost at the starting line.

...

At the Audience Seats.

Qin Fengqing pouted. “The dean is still so talkative. Why bother explaining? Just let them screw themselves.”

“Shut up!” Instructor Min Yue scolded.

‘Has this fella gone crazy? Did he think the dean would not be able to hear him?’

It would not matter if he was defaming himself. The president of the Martial Art Society did not even bring him up. Now, he even dared to insult the dean of the School of Weaponry who was already at a Grandmaster level. Even if he wanted to screw himself over, this is not the way to do it!

The others slowly distanced themselves from Qin Fengqing. ‘Has this fella gone crazy with all the trauma?’

He actually dared to talk trash about the Grandmaster when he was not even 30 meters away. He would not end up getting screwed over later on, would he?

Yes. With their understanding of dean Huang, it was highly possible!

The truth was as expected. On stage, Huang Jing glanced at Qin Fengqing and his gaze seemed to hold a deeper meaning.

Great, right as he was feeling that life at MCMAU recently was a little too dull.

Even the kiddos from Nanjiang Martial Arts University dared to challenge the north side so it was doable to let Qin Fengqing go and have a try.

In the audience seat, Qin Fengqing felt a cold and sudden shiver. Such a strong malicious intent!

...

Huang Jing ignored the students who had their credits deducted and continued to say, “It was not long since MCMAU was built, just about 59 years. In these 59 years, countless of students had graduated from MCMAU. They made great sacrifices and made MCMAU the way it is today, molding this present that you all have”

“The purpose of getting into MCMAU is not for all of you to enjoy life nor letting you gain a higher status than others!”

“In MCMAU, all of you should first understand this one point: what you pay for is what you get!”

“What is a martial artist? It is not oppressing the weak and being afraid of the strong, it is not being a street bully, and not being a politics broker...”

“Martial artists are the guardians of this city, of this country, and of this world!”

“We are the mighty and we are the small. We can also be said to be the sorrow...”

“As of now, none of you know this and there is no need to! One day, all of you will understand that getting in MCMAU isn’t the start of the peak of your life. It is possibly the start of a tragedy!”

“However, since all of you are unsatisfied with being normal and without fame, be prepared!”

“Since all of you have entered MCMAU, you should learn to contend, to fight to make yourself stronger, better!”

“Opportunities are only there for people who are prepared!”

“...”

Huang Jing’s voice was echoing through the entire sports field.

“There are not many detailed rules in MCMAU but that doesn’t mean that there are no rules at all. For the rules that need to be followed, they must be obeyed!”

“Similarly, MCMAU will also give everyone the opportunity to perform. Learn to present yourself when the time comes for you to show us what you got!”

“The entrance ceremony is not complicated. It is very simple.”

“Everyone gets to know each other. The instructors get to know the students, the students get to know the instructors. In MCMAU, the way to get to know each other is simple as well...”

Huang Jing turned sideways and said, “Now, there are 12 instructors from the 4 big schools on stage!”

“Everyone, go ahead and get to know the students that all of you are going to guide in the future!”

As Huang Jing finished speaking, a 40-odd-year-old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came from behind Huang Jing.

As the man walked out, the power of rich Vitality was floating right above his head, and a touch of blood-red seemed to be faintly visible.

“School of Weaponry, instructor of the new students, Tang Feng!”

Immediately, another person came afront, indifferently, “School of Weaponry, instructor of the new students, Luo Yichuan!”

“...”

“School of Tactics and Strategy. Teacher of new students, Zhou Shiping.”

“...”

“School of Cultural studies, instructor of new students, Chu Xin!”

“...”

The Vitality of the crowd did not weaken but under the Vitality Outburst of all the twelve instructors, the new students below the stage were having red faces, some of them even showing signs of not being able to stand still.

The 12 instructors were bursting out their own Vitality unrestrainedly, pressuring the students.

The new students who were below the status of a martial artist were all experiencing breathing difficulties and backed away immediately.

On the other hand, the new students who had already reached the status of a martial artist, or the twice-honed new students all had heavy looks on their faces as they stood unmoving in their spots.

Fu Changding, who was standing beside Fang Ping, softly said, “The instructors have introduced themselves. It’s our turn to introduce ourselves!”

Huang Jing mentioned previously that this was the time for students to get to know the instructors. It was also the time for the instructors to get to know the students.

As Fu Changing finished speaking, Fang Ping burst out his Vitality, fought against the pressure and stepped forward!

At this moment, quite a few other students also made the same choice.

“New student of MCMAU, Zhao Lei!”

“New student of MCMAU, Yang Xiaoman!”

“New student of MCMAU, Fang Ping!”

“...”

“New student of MCMAU, Fu Changing!”

“...”

A series of self-introductions resounded. Not every martial artist could overcome the pressure of 12 instructors to open their mouths.

A few martial artists had stepped up. When they opened their mouths, however, they began to feel discouraged and their Vitality was shaken. They had to take a few steps back to prevent humiliation.

In the end, there were only less than 20 students who could stand in the front and introduce themselves.

At this moment, everyone could feel the disparity.

...

Auditorium.

Qin Fengqing raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered: “Fang Ping... that sounds quite familiar!”

...

Stage.

Standing behind Huang Jing was a middle-aged woman, who laughed lightly and said, “16 martial artists who completed bone-honing and 2 martial artists who honed their bones twice.

“What’s more interesting is... there is a thrice-honed martial artist. Who’s junior is this?

“Fang Ping... Fang family from East Lake? Fang family from Lu Yue?”

Huang Jing dully said, “MCMAU believes in education irrespective of background so it doesn’t matter which house he is from. To be able to hone his bones 3 times before entering the school, that is of his own ability.”

“But this is different. I have a grudge against the East Lake fellow and I will not train his next generation.”

The woman gave a low laugh and continued in a soft voice. “I’ll check on the details later. It will be fine as long as he is not under the oldie’s house from East Lake. I will observe this guy tomorrow.”

The other instructors did not utter a word as there was no use for it now. They would know the next day.

Moreover, while thrice-honing was indeed impressive, it still did not work if he was just a useless novice who was built upon countless pills.

The best that could achieve was just reaching the middle rank faster but middle ranked martial artists were not lacking in MCMAU.
