NOVPUBChapter 455: 455
“Fang Jueyu, who exactly is this Teacher Cai?” Watching this mysterious and powerful teacher easily subdue Blair, Long Ting was filled with intense curiosity.
Typically, even if a master’s strength far surpassed theirs, they couldn’t sense these strong individuals’ auras, which wasn’t unusual. However, there was always a moment of a sudden surge in aura when they made a move, and she shouldn’t have missed that.
Unless this teacher had no superpowers, not even any Inner Strength cultivation, and completely relied on his physical strength to unleash such terrifying combat power.
But how was that possible? How could human strength reach such levels?
“Oh, this Teacher Cai has a rather strange background. I met him once during an outdoor trip. He’s something of a recluse living in a small mountain village. He spends his days feeding chickens, dancing, and playing basketball with the village kids, which doesn’t fit the lifestyle you’d expect from someone with his appearance.”
“Yeah.” Long Ting examined Teacher Cai’s taste in clothing, surprisingly modern in style. Even the trending boy bands in Huaxia might not have anyone as trendy as him.
“So, I was really curious and secretly observed him for several days. Later, I found out that he seemed to be practicing a Body Refining Technique, which seemed to be a martial art passed down from a very distant era!” Fang Jueyu fully utilized his talent for making things up.
“Are you saying ancient martial arts?” Long Ting didn’t doubt Fang Jueyu’s words at all, because in that distant era, the time when those ancient relics appeared, the earth was populated with various giant beasts and monsters. The Orochi, which was found by Ryukawa Sukio, was one such beast from that time.
At that time, for self-preservation, part of humanity developed powerful technological civilizations to combat these threats, while another part derived an ancient martial art.
This martial art was divided into two types. One was the cultivation of energy, now commonly known as Inner Strength and True Qi, which can be considered the origin of modern Ancient Martial Arts.
The other focused on honing the body, allowing someone to split mountains and rocks even with no energy in their body.
However, this body refining martial art required massive resource investment and was extremely tough to practice. Over time, modern Ancient Martial Arts survived, while this body refinement martial art completely disappeared. Long Ting had only learned of its existence through some relics and legends.
It seemed this Teacher Cai must have received this martial art’s legacy.
“He’s been living in the deep mountains, likely devoting his time to studying this ancient martial art, truly admirable.” Long Ting looked at Teacher Cai with a gaze full of reverence.
“Hahaha, what nonsense, is this woman too easy to fool?” Fang Jueyu stifled his laughter. He had completely fabricated this on his own, yet Long Ting believed it all without him needing to explain much. Was this woman missing a string in her brain?
“So how did you get him to come to the school?” Long Ting asked curiously, “It’s said that body refining experts’ training methods shouldn’t be much like ours, so they likely don’t need your Energy Crystals, right?”
“Oh, I told him there are many experts at this school, a big basketball court, and lots of people to dance, play, and rap with. So he came!” Fang Jueyu shot a sidelong glance at Long Ting. Why did this woman have so many questions? If she kept asking, he wouldn’t be able to cover it up.
“Still fighting?” Teacher Cai released Blair’s fist, his tone suggesting he didn’t take him seriously at all.
Blair, clutching his almost shattered fist, stepped back several steps. Now he finally realized that Huaxia was an unfathomable place. Their Federation’s superpower users developed technology to explore the mysteries of human potential, while these Huaxia people were simply engaging in Immortal Cultivation!
Even with the existence of the Sage Crystal activation device, even with another hundred years, they couldn’t surpass Huaxia. One of these people alone could wipe out the whole Federation.
“Oh no! Oh no!”
At that moment, a light circle appeared at the edge of the fighting arena. A young student hurriedly ran out, looking filthy and extremely embarrassed, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.
“What happened? What’s wrong?” Fang Jueyu stood up suddenly.
“They’re fighting, Teacher Sun and Teacher Bei are fighting!”
“What? Those two are fighting again?”
“Yes! Originally, Teacher Sun and Teacher Bei were supposed to watch Mr. Blair and Director Xiong’s match together, but they met on the way. For some reason, they started fighting each other and are now heading in this direction!”
“What? They’ve brought the fight here?”
As soon as the words were out, there was a sudden wave of panic-stricken voices among the audience.
“It’s over, it’s over, those two jinxes are fighting again. The school will need renovations again.”
“I’m outta here, if I accidentally get caught up in their fight, I might lose a part!”
“Excuse me, Principal, there’s something I need to attend to at the academy, I’m leaving first.”
“Principal, I have a class later, I need to prepare my textbooks!”
“Principal, I’m feeling a bit unwell, I’m going to the school infirmary!”
“Damn, what a group of spineless people, they’re slipping away one by one!” Fang Jueyu muttered, but he couldn’t help it. Those two jinxes fighting was like gods clashing, with no regard for the students’ well-being.
Though the teachers weren’t afraid, getting hit with a few shockwaves wouldn’t break them since they were all made of the same material. However, the students weren’t as tough, and every time there was a fight, the teachers had to protect them with their bodies.
Soon, all the students scattered like birds and beasts. Around the massive arena, only a few senior combat teachers were left, while the ordinary teachers didn’t dare to stay either. Being high-intelligent robots, they could feel pain; they couldn’t die, but it hurt!
“Fang Jueyu… what’s going on? Why are they all so scared?” Long Ting’s expression was full of concern, as even those seemingly strong teachers fled at the news. Now, only a few dozen dared to remain out of thousands.
“Um… it’s like this. Our school has two teachers with not-so-great tempers. They’re arch-enemies, both very powerful, and can’t stand each other. So they fight every few days. Whether it’s good or bad luck you’ve encountered them fighting today is hard to say!”
“Hey, come over here, protect us!” Fang Jueyu called over to the remaining teachers who hadn’t left. His own body couldn’t withstand the shockwaves from these two deities’ fight.
Needless to say, those teachers dared not defy Fang Jueyu’s order. Their programming was set to maintain maximum output power, so they weren’t too afraid. Protecting Fang Jueyu and the others was the priority at this time!
“Boom!” Suddenly, a ground-shaking explosion came from afar, the sound as deafening as thunder from the nine heavens, causing people’s hearts to almost stop.
“Crack!” Lightning and thunder tore across the sky, and thick dark clouds shrouded the entire area, even covering the artificial sun’s light for a while.
“Whoosh!” A strong gust of wind swept in, forming a gale over their heads, followed by massive rocks falling from the sky. Looking from afar, a volcano even spewed dazzling fire pillars into the sky, making it seem as if the whole academy was plunged into an apocalypse.
“This… this is actually a fight?”
