World’s Best Martial Artist - Chapter 280: Do You Believe He Would Dare To Collect Toll Fees?

In the Vitality Pool.

Fang Ping gradually sensed a blood-red Vitality passageway forming outside his heart, connecting with the blood vessels that had previously opened up in his body.

However, this passageway was very dim and shallow.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not stable enough. It鈥檒l collapse very fast.鈥?/p>

Fang Ping had to continue consuming a large amount of his Vitality鈥檚 strength to firm up this passageway.

Once the passageway was stabilized, the pumping sound of his heart beating seemed to pound in Fang Ping鈥檚 ear.

His heartbeat was becoming clearer!

However, along with his heartbeat, the strength of his Vitality started to transmit. Signs of unsteadiness appeared once again at the bridge of his heart.

鈥淪till not enough!鈥?/p>

Fang Ping did not care anymore and continued putting in more strength from his Vitality. He also started using Mentality to capture the strength of Vitality that was filling the cultivation chamber.

These were not energy particles鈥攖hey were the strength of Vitality that were converted straight from energy particles.

When his Mentality moved slightly, Fang Ping realized they were much easier to capture than energy particles.

The strength of Vitality he had depleted was recovering speedily.

鈥?/p>

500cal鈥?800cal鈥?/p>

Fang Ping kept his Vitality flowing as he filled the Celestial Bridge.

The strength of Vitality in the Vitality Pool was also continuously being absorbed by him.

鈥?/p>

Outside the chamber.

The expression on the face of the instructor changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, 鈥淒ean Li, have you clarified it with him?鈥?/p>

Old Man Li did not make a sound.

He had forgotten something!

However, it was not something that was too important.

When building the Celestial Bridge that connects the external and internal for the first time, there is no need for it to be too stable. As long as a passageway could roughly be formed, it would suffice. It would not collapse and could be slowly strengthened later on.

However鈥?Fang Ping, this brat, had nearly depleted all his Vitality and was still endlessly absorbing the strength of Vitality from the Vitality Pool.

Until now, he still had not finished building a passageway. He was probably鈥?Strengthening it, was he not?

鈥淚t鈥檚 fine,鈥?Old Man Li said tonelessly.

The instructor responsible was close to tears and said helplessly, 鈥淭his Rank-5 is sure to die!鈥?/p>

鈥淚f he dies, he dies.鈥?/p>

鈥淪igh!鈥?The instructor exhaled.

鈥榊ou say it so easily. If he dies, it鈥檒l be troublesome for us too.

鈥楬e hasn鈥檛 even successfully built one passageway. If he keeps going on like this, it鈥檒l only be a matter of time before this Rank-5 dies.鈥?/p>

鈥?/p>

鈥淚t鈥檚 so hard. How do other people do it?鈥?/p>

Fang Ping was dumbfounded.

His Vitality was above 1400cal, and his absorbance rate of the Vitality Pool鈥檚 strength of Vitality was extremely fast too.

However, it was still extremely difficult for him. Could it be that others popped pills like crazy and ate Rank-3 Vitality Pills like it was rice?

鈥淭hose casual martial artists don鈥檛 have Vitality Pools. Even popping pills can鈥檛 replenish their Vitality in time, can it?

鈥淣o, some martial arts universities don鈥檛 even have Vitality Pools. Could these people be even more prodigious than me? Bullsh*t!鈥?/p>

Fang Ping felt lost.

He had already consumed 1300cal of his Vitality. He did not keep track of how much the Vitality Pool replenished but he did have a rough number, and it was at least 600 or 700cal.

With 2000cal of Vitality, he could not stabilize even a single passageway!

For the other Peak Rank-3 martial artists, they had a limit of 1000cal of Vitality. If they held on and consumed 900cal and swallowed some medicine, it would already be considered a great feat if they could recover a few hundred cal in such a short amount of time.

They could successfully build a passageway with a little over 1000cal. Why could he not?

鈥淚t鈥檚 too strange. Could it have something to do with the strength of my physicality?鈥?/p>

Fang Ping still could not understand why he was struggling to build just a single passageway. Seeing that the Vitality Pool鈥檚 replenishment rate could not keep up with his consumption rate, he could only start using his Wealth points in exchange for it.

鈥?/p>

Outside the chamber.

When he saw that Fang Ping鈥檚 Vitality was endless, the instructor鈥檚 gaze changed. He uttered in a low voice, 鈥淭he Vitality Pool鈥?In order to maintain the purity of the strength of Vitality, the permeation of energy particles is cut off鈥︹€?/p>

Old Man Li hummed lightly and said plainly, 鈥淪o what?鈥?/p>

The permeation of energy particles being cut off actually said a lot.

Could Fang Ping鈥檚 Vitality replenishment come out of nowhere?

It was understandable that Fang Ping could quickly absorb the strength of Vitality, but no one could have expected that he would be able to maintain his own strength of Vitality even after absorbing the power from the Vitality Pool. That could not be unless it was self-generated.

Even so, humans鈥?strength of recovery was limited. Even if he recovered it, he would still need energy particles to replenish it.

In other words, this Vitality really did come out of nowhere.

Old Man Li continued to say, 鈥淗is bone marrow is like mercury. Perhaps he preserved some when he previously absorbed energy particles. For Grandmaster-ranked powerhouses, even if they were under circumstances where they were cut off from energy, they can still maintain their combat strength. That鈥檚 due to how they鈥檝e stored energy for future use.鈥?/p>

鈥淲e haven鈥檛 reached Grandmaster-ranking yet, so we can鈥檛 understand that this is normal too.鈥?/p>

The instructor did not say anything. Could Fang Ping really do this?

It was very hard to believe!

However, Old Man Li gave such an explanation. Whether you believe it or not, you simply had to.

Not to mention Fang Ping had gone to a research institute two days ago and provided some blood, hair, and bone meal for analysis.

The results of the research had not come out yet, so he could only take it as a peculiarity in Fang Ping鈥檚 brain.

Actually, Fang Ping鈥檚 brain having a peculiarity was even more believable to the instructor.

The human body was complicated. Something like Mentality was a reflection of the complication. When Mentality replenished, where did it recover from?

Mentality does not draw from energy particles to recover. A Grandmaster-ranked powerhouse鈥檚 Mentality seemed to naturally recover once depleted鈥攖his was something unexplainable.

Perhaps there is an even higher dimension of energy that humankind had not discovered yet.

Fang Ping鈥檚 out-of-nowhere ability was similar to Mentality recovery.

Old Man Li was actually also suspecting鈥攅ven certain鈥攖hat a peculiarity did indeed appear in Fang Ping鈥檚 brain.

His Mentality also recovered extremely fast the previous time.

鈥楢 peculiarity in the brain鈥︹€?He mumbled inwardly. Unless they really sliced open Fang Ping鈥檚 brain to research it, they would not be able to get to the bottom of this mysterious case. He did not carry any hopes toward the research institute.

鈥業 don鈥檛 care anymore. Up to him then. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen to him after this.鈥?/p>

Old Man Li shook his head lightly. A peculiarity was not necessarily a good thing.

鈥?/p>

At the same time that Fang Ping chose to break through.

In Magic City鈥檚 Catacombs, the alloy house鈥檚 door opened.

Lu Fengrou and the others stepped out one by one.

Just as she exited, she heard a familiar voice.

鈥淯sing Soft Shampoo makes you this confident!鈥?/p>

Lu Fengrou stiffened slightly, then turned her head to look at the person guarding the door.

The guard was currently leaning on the chair with a laptop displayed on the empty desk in front of him. When they were bored, they would watch movies or television shows.

Like how when Fang Ping and the others entered the championship back then, these people also watched the festivities from the screen.

Lu Fengrou turned her head slightly to look at the screen. She saw Fang Ping ruffling his short hair with swagger as his hand held a bottle of shampoo.

Seeing this, Lu Fengrou鈥檚 expression flickered.

One of the guards said, 鈥淚nstructor Lu, the commercial that this student of yours shot is not bad. It鈥檚 pretty interesting.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 right. There are others too. They鈥檙e pretty funny鈥攎uch more interesting than those television shows鈥︹€?/p>

Lu Fengrou looked at him for a while. After a pause, she said faintly, 鈥淒id you put this on knowing that I was coming out so that I would see it?鈥?/p>

鈥淗ahaha, yeah. I just wanted to share the joy with everyone.

鈥淭he Catacombs鈥?war is finally over. If our spirits are too low, it鈥檚 not good. It鈥檒l easily lead to depression.

鈥淭his brat is interesting. After watching the commercials he shot, I鈥檓 not the littlest bit depressed anymore!鈥?/p>

鈥淲hat commercials?鈥?/p>

The Tang Feng who had just walked out still carried a heavy scent of blood on him. He asked the question carelessly.

The guard picked up the laptop and showed it to him as if he was flaunting it. Chuckling, he said, 鈥淚鈥檒l prepare a highlights reel and put up a small television in the center鈥檚 mission display to cheer everyone up when I head back later. It鈥檚 too quiet here, too deadly silent.

鈥淎h, martial artists are now more and more depressed. In the morning, I played this for those soldiers in the Military Department too and they were pretty happy.鈥?/p>

鈥淗ehe!鈥?/p>

Lu Fengrou laughed and did not say anything as she walked away. Just as she took a few steps, the laptop in the guard鈥檚 hands was suddenly crushed into pieces!

The guard鈥檚 expression shifted slightly. Even the expressions on Tang Feng and the others all changed.

鈥淪he鈥︹€?/p>

The guard was shocked. If a Peak Rank-6 martial artist could manage to move a few objects, that was already considered amazing. Yet, Lu Fengrou had just smashed his laptop with such ease!

Tang Feng鈥檚 expression kept changing. He was somewhat unsettled.

Lu Fengrou鈥檚 Mentality had become even stronger!

If it went on like this, her Mentality was not far from being able to be expelled out.

Tang Feng mumbled, 鈥淚t鈥檚 at least 800Hz!鈥?/p>

The expressions of a few other instructors beside him all changed.

鈥?00Hz!鈥?/p>

鈥淢entality can be officially expelled out when it reaches 1000Hz. Wouldn鈥檛 this鈥︹€?/p>

鈥淓ven if her essence, spirit, and soul aren鈥檛 united as one to break the barrier, once her Mentality reaches 1000Hz, she would be able to forcefully break through the high-rank barrier!鈥?/p>

It was hard to tell if the instructors were happy or anxious.

The Vice-chancellor had been killed in battle. MCMAU had one less Grandmaster now. At this point, they could not even protect their own school. They had no choice but to kill some Rank-6 Catacomb martial artists to prevent a mess.

If they had another Grandmaster, there was no need to do so.

If Lu Fengrou broke through and became a Grandmaster, it would be good for MCMAU鈥攐r it could be said that anybody breaking through Grandmaster was a good thing for humankind.

However鈥?/p>

Tang Feng released a light breath, looking toward the faraway Lu Fengrou. He said in a low voice, 鈥淭hose Sky Gate City bastards dueled with Guardian Wu many times. Lu Fengrou probably saw the difference too, so she won鈥檛 act rashly. This is a good thing.鈥?/p>

These few days in the Catacombs, the city-lord had been maniacally attacking because seven of the Sky Gate City鈥檚 high-ranks had been killed. The city-lord exchanged great blows with the guardian who had always been guarding the south. Both parties had dueled more than ten times.

Lu Fengrou had been there too and saw the difference, so she might not keep holding on to the idea of revenge.

鈥淗opefully,鈥?the few instructors quietly said. As long as Lu Fengrou did not go looking for death鈥檚 door, she would soon become a Grandmaster and be a blessing for MCMAU.

However, seeing the situation now, she would still need a year or two if she wanted to break through.

After discussing about Lu Fengrou, Tang Feng suddenly thought of Fang Ping. He scoffed lightly as he said, 鈥淲hat mischief is Fang Ping up to again?鈥?/p>

The guard disagreed and smiled as he said, 鈥淭his brat is quite famous now. He鈥檚 first in Rank-3 and invincible among them. What鈥檚 the point of caring so much if he shoots a few commercials and amuses people?

鈥淧eople like us鈥攚e get drunk tonight if we have wine. We live for the now. Who knows if we have a tomorrow?

鈥淟ion Tang, don鈥檛 make up too many rules. It鈥檚 so uninteresting.鈥?/p>

鈥淔irst in Rank-3?鈥?/p>

Tang Feng was stunned for a moment. On the other hand, Luo Yichuan, whose body was still bleeding, smiled and said, 鈥淚s that true? That brat is first?鈥?/p>

鈥淚t鈥檚 true. The news is a few days old already, but you guys weren鈥檛 here. This brat is pretty interesting but he鈥檚 not as old-fashioned as you guys are. I quite like him. How about you send him over here to be my partner and we鈥檒l guard the door together?鈥?/p>

Luo Yichuan chuckled and said, 鈥淐ome on, if you let him guard this door, he鈥檒l probably start collecting fees from us when we want to enter the Catacombs.鈥?/p>

Everybody was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

The guard also broke into laughter. 鈥淚t won鈥檛 get to that point, would it鈥︹€?/p>

Tang Feng sniffed and said, 鈥淏elieve it. Perhaps if the Catacomb humans wanted to come out, he would even hold them here to collect fees from them!鈥?/p>

鈥淗ahaha鈥?If he really does have that strength, I earnestly hope that鈥檒l happen.鈥?/p>

If he dared to collect toll from the Catacomb martial artists, what strength did that take?

If the Catacomb martial artists really came dashing out, there would be Rank-9 martial artists among them.

If Fang Ping really dared to stick his hand out to the Rank-9 powerhouses to collect fees, that meant his strength was much greater than the opponent. Even Commander Li might not be able to collect toll fees if he came.

The room was filled with laughter once more. Their allies鈥?deaths and friends鈥?sacrifices all seemed to be forgotten at this moment.

It was better to let sorrow lie at the bottom of one鈥檚 heart.

If they showed their sorrow, there wasn鈥檛 much good it would do other than affecting others鈥?morale.

As for Lu Fengrou who had left earlier, everybody had already forgotten about her.

This half-Grandmaster powerhouse was probably going to deal with Fang Ping now, right?

Tang Feng gloated a little. It was best if she pummeled that brat. Motherf*cker. He was angered by this brat to the point of manic after just exiting the Catacombs. A powerhouse who was invincible among Rank-3s filming a small commercial鈥攈e did not even know what to say.

鈥?/p>

Fang Ping naturally did not know that Lu Fengrou was back.

He also did not know that everybody was ridiculing him, saying that he would block the passageway鈥檚 entrance to collect fees.

If Fang Ping knew about it, he would definitely object.

He had not reached a truly matchless invincibility, so how would he dare to collect fees? He would not even have time to run.

However, Fang Ping might consider actually doing it when the day comes that the Catacombs have settled down and the world is conquered.

The current Fang Ping was still trying to build a Celestial Bridge.

When he had put in close to 4000cal of Vitality from start to finish, his heart鈥檚 bridge slowly firmed up.

Fang Ping complained darkly, 鈥淒oesn鈥檛 this mean it鈥檚 only possible with 20000cal of Vitality?鈥?/p>

The Vitality Pool was providing less and less Vitality. It would only be able to provide him 2000 or 3000cal before it was emptied.

With how things are going, he would have to consume at least 2 million wealth points before he could be done.

鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 matter. Two or three million will let me skip past the beginning stage. It鈥檚 a steal!鈥?/p>

After comforting himself for a while, Fang Ping started to build his liver鈥檚 bridge.

When he started building his liver鈥檚 bridge, Old Man Li and the instructor outside the chamber both gasped in surprise.

鈥淭he rate he鈥檚 absorbing Vitality is even faster now. This brat鈥攄id he stabilize the Celestial Bridge?鈥?/p>

鈥淧robably.鈥?/p>

鈥淗e鈥檚 such a genius, though it鈥檚 a little extreme. Perhaps it won鈥檛 be long before he can start honing the vital organs.鈥?/p>

The instructor kept marveling at Fang Ping鈥檚 wise strategy. When he was compared to other people, it really made them mad!

Old Man Li did not care about this. He stroked his chin and muttered, 鈥淗e鈥檚 already so strong. Are there still any students in MCMAU who can restrain him?鈥?/p>

If there was nobody to oppress Fang Ping, he would definitely cause a huge ruckus!

Before this, it was people like Zhang Yu who could hold Fang Ping down.

If even they could not hold him back anymore, it would just be a matter of time before he flipped MCMAU upside down, especially with that strength of his that is comparable to a few instructors.

Old Man Li felt he was worrying for nothing.

This brat was not that honest.

He knew just by looking at the things he did: reselling medicinal pills, starting a club and making people do useless work, making a loan platform, provoking the president of the Martial Arts Society鈥?/p>

All these things were not what honest students would do.

鈥淲ho will restrain him?鈥?/p>

Old Man Li wracked his brain. Chen Wenlong? Zhang Yu? Qin Fengqing?

None of them could stick to the script!

Before this, he could still count on Xie Lei but now鈥?It was hard!

Xie Lei still lacked a little to reach Rank-4.

However, he was also nearing it. If nothing unexpected happens, it was possible for Xie Lei to enter Rank-4 once junior year starts. Though it all still depends on how Xie Lei himself thought.

鈥淐ould it be that when he causes trouble in the future, we can only count on the instructors to squelch him?鈥?/p>

Old Man Li stroked his beard, a little unsatisfied. If the instructors had to repress the students, that showed that the school was incapable.

Old Man Li cursed, 鈥淢otherf*cker, every batch of MCMAU students are more useless than the last. There鈥檚 not even a single Rank-5!鈥?/p>

Beside him, the corner of the instructor鈥檚 mouth twitched. 鈥楽orry, I鈥檓 only Peak Rank-5 too.鈥?He saw Dean Li pointing at the mulberry tree to curse the locust.
