Chapter 141
141. Chapter 141: Oppression (Celebrating for Alliance Leader zzyzzx123)
Fang Xing naturally knew that by refusing to be arranged for an internship, he had definitely offended Wei Wei Shentong.
Therefore, he immediately sought out his own teacher.
Inside the training room.
After the child-like Pan Xiong finished listening to his account, a sneer appeared on his face: "Wei Wei Shentong is still the same old way... although he was once the most outstanding graduate of Lanxing University, he is very keen on power... even after suffering losses, he is still like this."
"The so-called 'suffered losses', could it be referring to the Hundred Star Joint Examination last time?"
Fang Xing suddenly felt that the water last time was unfathomably deep.
Thinking about it carefully, although the ninety-nine planets like Hatchling Star don't count for much in the Lanxing Federation.
But Young Qilin Star, Hidden Dragon Star, and Hatchling Phoenix Star are the three best educational planets in the Federation, and there's no telling how many descendants of the powerful and wealthy are on them.
For something to go wrong during the assessment and for Wei Wei Shentong to be able to walk away unscathed was already not easy.
Perhaps that was why his resources for Wu Sheng were always blocked, making it difficult to advance.
And then, in order to gain the favor of a faction as quickly as possible, this person prepared to do some practical things at Lanxing University to increase the influence of his faction...
"Then Teacher, what should I do? And which faction is Wei Wei Shentong behind?"
Fang Xing raised his own question.
"You don't need to do anything... you are a student at Lanxing University, everything should be done according to the rules."
Pan Xiong said: "Even if Wei Wei Shentong exerts influence on your fifth-year internship, it will be extremely limited... at most, you'll be thrown onto the Secret Realm battlefield; we martial artists should be on the battlefield."
"As for the faction issue? The Federation is too big, and there are too many factions... understanding such things in advance is actually unfavorable to your development; do you think Wei Wei Shentong can really use the power of his faction to suppress you? You think too highly of yourself; you're not worthy yet!"
"What's more, suppressing a genius of the Federation has a very bad reputation and is handing a knife to political enemies... everything must be done according to the rules, understand?"
"I think I understand; I should still focus on becoming strong myself."
Fang Xing nodded.
"Not bad... the Secret Realm battlefield needs practical geniuses the most! The kind that can fight across ranks! As long as you are heaven-defying enough, the Secret Realm battlefield is actually not dangerous at all, and you can even obtain a large amount of academic credits and merit..."
Pan Xiong smiled: "You are very good, never trapped by bottlenecks, and always improving... I think you can fully advance to Martial Dao Jin Dan before graduating from university, and then apply for postgraduate studies."
By studying for a postgraduate degree, one can delay military service again!
Fang Xing was thoughtful, knowing this was Pan Xiong hinting that Wei Wei Shentong's faction might have a certain influence in the military!
After all, Wei Wei Shentong was originally from the military, and this is not comparable to a fifth-year internship.
In a fifth-year internship, one's status is still that of a student, not a soldier, and with Lanxing University protecting them, they can return whenever they want, so it's still safe.
But if one serves in the military, their status becomes that of a real soldier, and even if a superior orders you to die, you must go!
This is the strictness of military law!
In this situation, it is very easy to manipulate things and be targeted.
"It seems... I really need to break through to Martial Dao Jin Dan before graduating from university; otherwise, if I'm thrown a mission that leads to certain death, there will be no other way but to betray the Federation, which is too much of a loss."
"Even... after postgraduate studies, I can continue to study for a doctorate, and then a post-doctorate..."
"Could it be that I'm going to study all the way to become a Wu Sheng?"
Fang Xing's heart stirred: "It seems that's not impossible... studying to become a sage is also a beautiful story."
Pan Xiong didn't know that this student was thinking so much in an instant, and grinned: "It's useless for us martial artists to think too much about these things; what you need to do now is practice! Hard practice! It's been a long time since I've loosened my muscles and bones; today, let's have a real fight, Teacher and student. Don't worry, I will only defend and not attack!"
He twisted his neck, and his bones made a crisp sound as he walked to the center of the field.
"Teacher, please forgive me."
Fang Xing also wanted to know the gap between himself and a Jin Gang Realm martial artist, so he immediately bowed.
When he stood up, the sound of dragons roaring and tigers howling rose instantly all around, and there even seemed to be a giant elephant roaring.
Slap!
His right hand stood upright, and he slashed out with a hand blade.
Wind and clouds surged in the void, as if ghosts and gods were wailing!
Grandmaster-level Ghost God Blade!
After all, it was already the second half of his junior year; he had long since ground the Master-level Ghost God Blade, Extreme Emotion Sword, and even the twelve styles of Military Fist to perfection, and then went to the Ten Thousand Spirits Catalog to comprehend them, successfully breaking through to Grandmaster.
Slap!
The astonishing blade light landed on Pan Xiong, but it didn't even leave a white mark!
A look of satisfaction appeared on Pan Xiong's face: "To be able to make me use the Three-Turn Golden Body... your strength is more than just ninth on the battle rankings."
Martial Dao Golden Body!
Using the Martial Dao Jin Dan to circulate and extract indestructible matter to temper oneself, obtaining an unimaginable physique!
Fang Xing felt that even if he used all his strength, he would probably find it difficult to break Pan Xiong's defense.
"This Three-Turn Golden Body... I feel like even a low-grade magic treasure would find it hard to break the defense."
"If Pan Xiong went to the Cultivation World, he might be able to run wild in the Zheng Kingdom..."
His heart stirred, and his hand blade changed, turning into a sword finger.
The sword light was cold, like mercury pouring onto the ground, searching for the weaknesses in Pan Xiong's aura.
Swish, swish!
Strands of sword Qi pierced into Pan Xiong's golden body, only to collapse directly!
Not only did they collapse, but they even rebounded!
Although Pan Xiong said he would only defend and not attack, the rebounded attacks didn't count! "Well done."
Fang Xing's hands changed again, and the blade light and sword shadows lingered all around.
The blade was the sword, the sword was the blade, and it could even... turn into fists, palms, legs...
Combined with his movement technique, it was like a perfect whole.
"Good!"
Pan Xiong looked at his student, his face filled with undisguised admiration: "Hand blade, finger sword, and fists, palms, legs, as well as movement technique... you have actually practiced the Ghost God Blade, Extreme Emotion Sword, and Military Fist to the peak, coordinating them to form a brand-new unique skill, perhaps already S-rank, and you even want to integrate your movement technique into it... pity, your Sky-Dancing Step has not yet reached its peak, making it difficult to truly harmonize."
This was not a self-created martial art, but a process where Fang Xing, after practicing the three martial arts of the Ghost God Blade to the Grandmaster realm, took their strengths to make up for their weaknesses, matching them to create the martial art most suitable for himself, just like how the Great Dragon Stake and Crouching Tiger Stake merged to become the Dragon-Tiger Stake!
It was a process of integrating his own martial arts.
Originally, he also wanted to integrate the Sky-Dancing Step, but unfortunately, this S-rank movement technique had not yet been practiced to the Grandmaster level, making it difficult to delete or change at will, so it was seen as somewhat uncoordinated by Pan Xiong.
"Good kung fu, what is the name of this martial art?"
Pan Xiong laughed loudly, a point of golden light flickering in his Lower Dantian, gradually permeating his whole body, as if he had turned into a Golden Body Arhat, standing as steady as Mount Tai amidst Fang Xing's wind-and-thunder-like offensive.
"Star Martial Three Absolutes!"
Fang Xing glanced at the attribute bar:
【Star Martial Three Absolutes: 8/800 (Grandmaster)】
【Sky-Dancing Step: 1/400 (Master)】
These were the results of his diligent practice over the past year or so.
But at this moment, in front of Pan Xiong, it was still not enough.
"Then..."
Fang Xing was getting into the fight, and finally let out a long whistle, his whole body as if wearing golden silk heavy armor.
In his eyes, there were two bright golden stars!
Great Jin Gang Prajna Divine Power—eightfold burst!
Star Martial Three Absolutes!
The various martial arts forces were integrated into one, gathering on the three fingers of Fang Xing's right hand, using the Great Jin Gang Prajna Divine Power to push the killing move of the Star Martial Three Absolutes!
It was his strongest strike to date!
Although he had to hide his strength, after three years of getting along, and the conversation just now, Fang Xing felt that Pan Xiong was still worth trusting.
What's more, no one would ever know his true foundation.
Facing this move, a look of solemnity appeared on Pan Xiong's face for the first time.
He felt that his Three-Turn Golden Body might actually... be injured under this offensive?
"Is it the Great Jin Gang Prajna Divine Power?!"
"Not only that, for the body and fingers to be able to withstand such a burst, the Dragon-Long Long Xiang Gong has truly reached a realm unfathomable by ghosts and gods; this kid..."
In a flash of lightning, Pan Xiong's thoughts flickered, and he then gently stretched out his palm.
Bang!
Fang Xing's three fingers, like an indestructible spear, landed on Pan Xiong's golden palm, making the sound of gold and iron clashing.
And then...
He felt the force and true Qi of his full burst vanish with a roar, as if a clay ox had entered the sea!
No!
It should have been defeated by an even more powerful force!
If Pan Xiong hadn't held back, this rebounding force could have even broken the defense of the Grandmaster-level Dragon-Long Long Xiang Gong, causing him to be injured!
"I lost..."
Fang Xing retreated like a flash of light, looking at Pan Xiong, who had his hands behind his back: "Teacher... just now you..."
"Martial Dao Jin Dan is the condensation of our essence, Qi, and spirit; in ancient times, it was also called 'Holding the Dan', which can integrate all the blood, force, and true Qi of a martial artist... into 'Jin Dan Yuan Power'!"
Pan Xiong said leisurely: "If the Martial Dao differs by a major realm, the actual combat differs boundlessly... not to mention that after Martial Dao Jin Dan, the power of the domain will skyrocket, turning into a true 'Jin Dan Dharma Domain'! Therefore, Martial Dao Jin Dan fighting External Landscape is simply like an adult fighting a child; there is no way not to win... unless you can practice those few heaven-defying cultivation techniques and divine abilities at the External Landscape stage, but this kind of heaven-defying posture hasn't appeared for a long time."
"Student has been taught."
Fang Xing bowed, and suddenly received another message: "Something happened in the virtual space... need to go handle it."
"Hmm, go ahead and get busy."
Pan Xiong watched Fang Xing leave, and only then slowly stretched out the palm he had behind his back.
He saw that on his palm, there was actually a white mark!
In the very center of the white mark, there seemed to be a bit of crimson...
"Luckily this kid didn't notice, otherwise, if I was caught off guard and had my defense broken by a student... would I, Old Bear, still have any face left?"
Pan Xiong sighed: "No wonder Wei Wei Shentong acted so shamelessly; the talent is truly too astonishing... should I also recommend him to the higher-ups?"
Just as he was thinking, two students walked in: "Teacher..."
Pan Xiong took a look; it was Su Su Longyan and Ouyang Ouyang Qiang.
Strictly speaking, these two had good talent and were improving quickly.
But compared to Fang Xing, they were simply trash compared to treasure!
"Why haven't you broken through to External Landscape yet?"
Pan Xiong immediately scolded: "Making me have to teach the three of you separately... you're already juniors, and in another year you'll go for internships; without the strength of External Landscape, it's simply embarrassing me..."
Su Su Longyan and Ouyang Ouyang Qiang looked at each other and lowered their heads in grievance...
