“Why stop it?” The academy elder lifted his eyebrows andughed. He lifted a finger and pointed it at
Fang Yuan who was far away and said, “This young man has taken control of the entire situation, and
his attacks are fully restrained. Look at the way he cuts at the neck, he only acts on the left or right
side, but never cutting at the nape. This is because he knows that striking the neck sides can make a
person faint on the spot. Meanwhile attacking the area at the back of the head and neck could cause
death, so he automatically abandoned that way of attacking.”
“Look at all those youths on the ground, which one of them is actually heavily injured? None! Even if
they were badly hurt, so what? Are you saying that our academy’s treatment Gu Masters won’t be able
to cure this sort of traumatic wound?”
“But sir elder, that child is just too arrogant. He blocked the entrance; this is obviously not
acknowledging our existence as guards! Being ignored isn’t the main problem though, the important
matter is how the n will think of our academy. To actually allow a small petty C grade student make a
fuss in the academy and not stop it. If word goes out, we’re afraid this might affect your reputation, sir
elder.” The guard squinted as he said this.
“Hmph, in reality is that because you all were disregarded by the boy, so your own dignity feels
challenged?” The academy elder was not too happy. He sneered and shot a gaze as sharp as a sword
edge at the guards. They all lowered their heads, all of them disagreeing.
“What’s wrong with fighting? As long as lives are not lost, it will stir up thepetitive side of the
students and temper their will to fight. To stop this kind of fight is to stifle the student’s fighting passion!
Was there no fighting in the past batches? Every batch had their own battles, and it happened very
often. The only difference was that it usually happened in thetter half of the year when the students
had already mastered some means of fighting. With strength they itched to fight, and at the same time
it is an aggressive age. Why didn’t you stop those people back then?” The academy elder questioned
in a cold voice.
“Maybe it was because the fights in the previous years were all single battles, there were rarely huge
scale fighting like this one. But this Fang Yuan is really good at creating a disturbance!” The chief of the
guards replied.
“No, no, no.” The academy elder shook his head, “That was because you all did not dare to stop it.
Because after half a year, a Gu Master will have the ability to fight beyond a mortal’s strength, and with
your petty mortal bodies, how are you supposed to stop it? Right now you all want to stop Fang Yuan,
perhaps it is because he just started cultivating, so he doesn’t have enough power. It’s also because
you feel that he ignored your existence and offended your dignity. But you must all remember, these
students all bear the surname of Gu Yue! They are my Gu Yue n’s n members, your masters!
Even if they are still of young age, no matter how weak, they are still your masters!”
The elder’s tone had turned sharply.
“Your surnames are not Gu Yue, what is your worth? Because of your loyalty, you were all given the
position of guards, rewarding you with some sweet benefits. But in reality, you are still ves. Just
ves! A ve dare give preposterous opinions of their masters, caring about the matters of their
masters?” The elder’s face was dark like water.
“This was not your subordinates idea, not my meaning!”
“I wouldn’t dare! I wouldn’t dare!”
The guards were ashen-faced as they kneeled down to the ground, spouting nonstop. The academy
elder gave a cold snort and pointed at the chief guard who had just called Fang Yuan a person good at
creating disturbances. “You gave an outrageousment on your master. You are relieved of your
position.”
After a while, the elder said to the others, “After half a month, there will be a re-examination to
determine the new chief.”
The other guards immediately had eyes that shone, their hearts pumping with enthusiasm.
“The position of chief of the guard! Every month I’ll be able to receive half a primeval stone more!”
“To be able to be the chief is to be a man above men. Aside from the masters, I dare to see
who else would show displeasure at me?”
“If I became the chief, how cool that would be…”
“Alright, what are you all pestling here for? Get downstairs and wait for the battle to end, then sweep
the field!” The elder roared.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
“Your subordinate takes his leave!”
The guards left in reverence and awe as they went down. One of the guards on the stairs lost his
footing and fell down. Immediately there was a series of sounds implicating a chain of people falling
and knocking down.
However under the academy elder’s power and influence, the guards reddened their faces and
endured in suffering, not letting out a single noise.
“Hmph! Those minions are just like dogs. Every once in a while they’d get this itch to misbehave; you’d
have to smack them so that they know fear and respect. Then just throw some small victories and
bones to them, letting them fight amongst themselves like dogs, letting thempete amongst
themselves to serve my n with their life. To hold a stick in one hand and a carrot in another – This is
the unique way of the upper echelons.” As the academy elder heard the quiet movements below, he
sneered in his heart and turned his head, looking through the window and at the school gates.
A fresh group of ten or so students were on the ground at the entrance. Fang Yuan stood proudly, and
there were three young girls back-to-back, huddling at a side opposite him.
“You, you-you better note over!”
“If youe over, we’ll shoot you with the moonde!!”
In their hands were ayer of blue radiance. It seemed like they werepelled to the point they would
actually mobilize their primeval essence and use the Moonlight Gu.
Fang Yuan’s body was still that of a normal fifteen-year-old boy, and if they attacked him with the
moonde it would not do him any good. Yet he was not afraid – instead he sneered at them and
walked step by step towards the girls. “You girls have pretty big guts huh, have you forgotten the rules
of the school? Inside the academy fighting using Gu is forbidden, or else the penalty will be expulsion.
If you girls want to be expelled, then just do it.”
“This…”The young girls hesitated.
“Indeed there is such a rule.” The blue light in their hands faded away.
Fang Yuan’s eyes shed as he caught this opening and dashed forward, his palms waving in the air,
cutting down two of them without a shadow of doubt.
Being thest one, her morale dropped and her knees turned weak. She copsed to the ground crying
heavily, begging fang Yuan, “Don’t youe over Fang Yuan, please let me go.”
Fang Yuan stared down at the young girl with a condescending look, his cold voice sounding in her
ears. “A piece of primeval stone.”
The girl’s body fluttered and she quickly opened her money pouch, realization taking hold of her. She
took out three to four pieces of primeval stones and held them in her palm, stretching out her hand to
Fang Yuan, “Don’t hit me, I’ll give them all to you, I’ll give all my stones to you!”
Fang Yuan was expressionless as he slowly reached out with his right hand. He lifted his forefinger and
thumb, gently pinching at a piece of primeval stone from the girl’s hand.
The young maiden could not stop trembling. Fang Yuan’s hand had a youth’s pale and slender form,
but in her eyes his hand was horrifying like a ferocious w of terror.
“I’ve said it earlier, I will only take one piece of primeval stone.” Fang Yuan paused for a moment, then
he said inly, “You may leave.”
The girl stared at Fang Yuan for a good while, then she finally got up. But her limbs were still weak and
she could not properly stand. Her heart was already full of fear towards Fang Yuan, and she was afraid
to the point that she could not muster a single breath of energy.
When the academy elder saw this, he could not help but shake his head. One of his reasons to remain
an observer was to borrow the chance to see each of the student’s respective fighting talents.
This girl who copsed on the ground was only a C grade talent, but with this kind of mentality she
could only be a logistics Gu Master. She would be able to be productive in the n, but there was
no expectation for her to be on the battlefield.
“As for this Fang Yuan…” The academy elder rubbed his chin, his eyes squinting with a sh of light.
He felt that Fang Yuan was very interesting. Not only did Fang Yuan possess fighting talent, he even
had a sense of propriety. To just extort for a piece of primeval stone was not beyond the bounds in the
elder’s heart. But if fang Yuan wanted to ckmail for two pieces, that would be too much and he
would need to intervene.
The academy’s allowance was originally three pieces. To have a piece taken away would still be
considered harmless. But if he extorted away two stones, then what is the point of giving out subsidy?
He might as well just give everything to Fang Yuan.
Very quickly thest group of students arrived. There were only five people, and among them was Fang
Yuan’s twin younger brother.
“Big brother, how could you be like this?! You are too bold, to actually beat up your ssmates at the
gates and take away their primeval stones!” Gu Yue Fang Zheng was wide-eyed as he looked at the
scene. He could not believe what he was seeing before him, “I advice you to quickly go to the academy
elder and take the initiative to admit your mistake, or else with you making such a huge matter, it’s not
a joke, you might actually get expelled!”
Fang Yuanughed and said, “You’re right.”
Fang Zheng heaved a relieved sigh. Seeing that his older brother hadn’t gone insane and could still be
persuaded, that was good.
But very quickly he heard Fang Yuan say again, “Every one of you, a piece of primeval stone.”
“What?” Fang Zheng opened his mouth wide with surprise, “Even I need to pay up?”
“My dearest little brother, of course you can choose not to.” Fang Yuan’s tone was very gentle. “But you
will end up just like them,” he said and pointed at those fallen on the ground. Some of them had fainted,
and some of them were moaning in pain.
“Even his own younger brother isn’t spared!”
“This Fang Yuan is crazy, he’s too vicious…”
“We cannot defeat him, a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. We better hand it
over and ovee the trouble.”
“That’s right, we’ll just pass up the primeval stone first. It’s just one piece anyway, when we go back
and report to the teachers, he’ll be getting it!”
With the lesson drawn from their ssmate’s mistakes, the remaining youngsters obediently epted
Fang Yuan’s ckmail with gazes of defiance.
“Hold up.” Just as they were about to leave, Fang Yuan shouted at them to halt.
“Fang Yuan, are you actually going to go back on your word?” The youths started to be nervous.
Fang Yuan faced the teenagers on the ground, gently sighing. “Do you guys really think that I would
squat down and search through their bodies one by one?”
The youths stared nkly, then they were hit by realization one by one. Each of them turned red in the
face and stood at the spot hesitatingly.
Fang Yuan stared at them, narrowing his eyes. There was a sh of cold light in his gaze; immediately
the five youngsters felt their heart beating fast, their scalps going numb at the same time.
“Alright, Fang Yuan. We understand your meaning.”
“We’ll just help you this once.”
Under Fang Yuan’s despotic aura, they could only lower their heads and search through each of the
young teen’s money pouches on the ground, taking out a piece of primeval stone from each bag. Then
they brought it together and passed it to Fang Yuan.
The entire ss had a total of fifty-seven people. By extorting a piece of primeval stone from every
single one of them, Fang Yuan held fifty-six pieces.
He originally had twenty pieces, but he spent ten to buy a few jars of green bamboo wine. Adding the
number of primeval stones from his own allowance and reward, the total number of primeval stones he
had in his possession amounted up to seventy-nine pieces.
“This sort of capital free business that consists of extortion and plundering is really the most profitable
business.” Fang Yuan pocketed his money pouch that had suddenly expanded greatly into his bosom
and strutted away, leaving behind a floor full of teenagers, lying like corpses on the ground.
And a few teenagers, Fang Zheng among them, nkly stared after Fang Yuan’s gradually
disappearing shadow.
“Get out there fast.”
“All of you, faster! Arrange the little masters properly.”
“The treatment Gu Master, where is he, ask him toe over fast!”
The guards were yelling as they all rushed forward, falling over each other in their eagerness to present
themselves. They willingly gave their all for the small position of being the chief guard.
