Chapter 49: Champion.
"Stop! Fang Che Sheng!"
The two referee instructors hurriedly jumped up, "It's already over, don't fight!"
One person quickly flew out, caught Huo Churan, and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
Then, he flew back to the arena.
With a swoosh, two blades simultaneously fell from the sky. Huo Churan's blade lay horizontally on the arena, while Fang Che's blade fell, cutting off the tassel of Huo Churan's blade and standing upright on the arena.
The red silk fluttered in the wind.
The medical team quickly rushed up and carried Huo Churan away.
After a brief examination, they smiled, "It's okay, he still has breath. Fang Che's attack was quite measured. It shows he knows what he's doing!"
Huo Churan was already unconscious, with about seventy to eighty percent of his bones broken, and most of his teeth were gone. His nasal bone was not only shattered but also sunken in.
It was extremely miserable.
The students in the front row, who were closest, all twitched their mouths at the same time.
Seriously, you call this kind of injury "quite measured"?
May I ask where the measure is?
But they didn't know that since Huo Churan started using that strange palm technique, most of the instructors in the Martial Arts Academy were feeling a bit disgusted!
In this situation, how could they still defend Huo Churan?
In fact, the beating just now should have been stopped halfway through.
But it wasn't stopped at all!
Just to let this guy take a few more beatings.
Huo Churan is highly suspected. If he's a demon spawn, it wouldn't be wrong to beat him to death.
If he's not... well, even if it's just a lesson, don't think you can use any technique in public. This time it's with new students, so you got away with it. If you use it during the inter-school competition, and get beaten to death on the spot, you won't have a place to complain!
Fang Che emerged victorious, and on the arena, he once again showed that sunny, gentle, and shy smile of a young man, looking obedient, beautiful, and likable.
Polite, elegant, and composed, he gestured towards where Huo Churan was carried away, "Student Huo, thank you for the lesson."
In the audience, everyone had just seen this guy beat Huo Churan like a sandbag, but now seeing him so gentle and elegant, everyone felt a sense of contradiction and unity.
They all felt like they were seeing him in a new light.
"So handsome..."
The girls, on the other hand, had a glint in their eyes.
Able in both literary and martial arts, capable of being both a gentleman and a villain, able to fight, resist, and be gentle, Fang, the school flower, is really... tsk tsk, so manly.
A cloak flew up from the audience.
Fang Che calmly put it on and shook his sleeves.
The starlight was faintly dazzling.
He bowed, "Thank you for your hard work, two teachers."
The two referees nodded with a smile, "Go rest."
"Okay!"
Just then,
A voice from below shouted, "Wait."
A white figure flew up.
It was Qiu Yunshang.
Everyone was stunned, What was he up to?
Qiu Yunshang flew onto the arena, bowed, and then said to the referees, "I concede!"
"Concede?"
Qiu Yunshang smiled bitterly, "I can't win no matter how hard I try. Senior Fang has already broken through to the fifth level of Martial Master, and I, Qiu Yunshang, cannot overestimate my abilities. A heart full of passion ultimately cannot rival absolute strength. Going up there again would just result in another beating. Instead of that, it's better to concede now and save some face."
Hold on a moment, he said to Fang Che, "I need to save some energy to fight Huo Churan!"
There was laughter from the audience below.
It seems that Qiu Yunshang has a lot of resentment towards Huo Churan.
Several informed individuals couldn't help but laugh, while recalling what happened before the battle, when Fang Che showed goodwill to Huo Churan and Huo Churan's reaction, as well as what the two said.
Huo Churan: "I don't have time to be friends with you."
Fang Che: "Don't blame me for being ruthless today."
Fang Che: You show up, I beat you up!
Looking at the current result, it feels infinitely ironic: You want to be friends with others, but are you worthy?
When you were given face, you didn't cherish it. Now you're beaten into a coma, but who's to blame?
If only he had smiled back then, would it have come to being beaten so badly?
Thinking of Fang Che's vow: You show up, I beat you up.
There was a vague feeling that this school flower Fang Che, was probably not joking?
Regarding Qiu Yunshang's concession, everyone felt slightly surprised but also felt it was natural.
After all, facing an unbeatable enemy.
Everyone understood.
Fang Che also smiled warmly and said, "Thank you, Brother Qiu, for conceding. You saved me from a beating. Haha, I suddenly feel that my heart isn't so heavy anymore."
Qiu Yunshang laughed, "There is no need to be modest. If I could beat you, I would definitely do it. The problem is, I can't, so it would just be me getting beaten. Therefore... Fang Che, you are truly deserving of this champion title."
"Thank you!"
Qiu Yunshang jumped off the stage.
And the third-place winner also emerged—Yu Zhongge.
Huo Churan remained unconscious, completely losing his combat ability. With those injuries, it would be considered lucky if he could recover in a year or two, let alone compete with Yu Zhongge.
As for the champion, it naturally belonged to Fang Che.
Huo Churan had already lost, Qiu Yunshang had conceded, and there were no more competitors.
Champion, Fang Che.
Runner-up, Qiu Yunshang.
Third place, Yu Zhongge.
No one disputed Fang Che's championship or Qiu Yunshang's runner-up position.
However, it was the third-place winner, Yu Zhongge, that left everyone stunned.
If they remembered correctly, Yu Zhongge had lucked out in two key matches before by drawing a bye.
Now, he didn't even have to fight and directly became the third-place winner!
What kind of luck was this?
However, the key point was that Huo Churan, no matter what, could no longer compete with Yu Zhongge.
As for others with real strength, like Ding Jieran, Mo Ganyun... in terms of strength, they were probably stronger than Yu Zhongge, but they had been eliminated early!
Yu Zhongge, this third-place winner, didn't even have a competitor.
"What kind of godly luck is this?!"
Tens of thousands of people were puzzled.
Even Fang Che, Qiu Yunshang, Mo Ganyun, Ding Jieran, and others couldn't help but glance at Yu Zhongge repeatedly, all feeling that there was something mysterious about him.
Mo Ganyun clicked his tongue and looked incredulous, "This... this kid is definitely up to something. Such good luck, barely got beaten, just wandered around in this competition, and became the third-place winner!"
"I almost got beaten to death and didn't even make it to the top four..."
Fang Che's face also twisted a bit. Compared to his own hard-fought battle, Yu Zhongge had hardly any dirt on his clothes and yet got third place.
Why does this feel so unfair?
Facing everyone's gaze, Yu Zhongge also looked helpless, his face stiff with a forced smile, "Luck, it's really just luck."
All the students who heard him had the same expression.
Even their feelings were the same: It would be one thing if someone else said this, but coming from you, I really can't argue.
...
The Martial Arts Academy then began to award prizes.
Along with the top ten and top hundred, rewards were distributed simultaneously.
Fang Che received two top-grade Soul Pills, twenty Qi Gathering Pills, two Meridian Expansion Pills, two True Element Pills, and a hundred credits. He also received a championship gold medal.
He received them directly.
With a change of clothes, he transformed into a wealthy man from Baiyun Martial Arts Academy.
Including the ten points he received when he entered the martial arts school, Fang Che now had a total of one hundred and ten points.
Based on the standard that less than two points could feed a dozen people with a table full of delicious monster meat, these one hundred and ten points were enough for Fang Che to use personally for a year, and he could also buy materials for auxiliary cultivation such as pills!
In an instant, he felt rich.
This immediately attracted a large number of envious, jealous, and hateful gazes.
There were also some hungry and eager looks.
Fang Che ignored all of it.
He only had one feeling: I've completed the mission!
The life-saving secret technique, Blood Burning Technique, is about to be obtained!
Then the Martial Arts Academy announced a piece of news: Tomorrow, the new students will be officially divided into classes and classes will begin.
There was a cheer.
Then the Martial Arts Academy announced another piece of news: Tomorrow, the second, third, fourth, and fifth grades will begin their assessments!
And announced the punishment mechanism.
Immediately, the entire main campus wailed so loudly that it seemed to reach the sky!
Just when they had lost and became poor, they were facing exams again! And this time, the exams were basically a hundred percent for punishment!
This is really like, when it rains, it pours, and when your ship is already sinking, you encounter a headwind!
Those old students who had lost in gambling were like walking corpses, with the words "as if attending a funeral" written all over their faces!
Countless old students began to approach Fang Che: "Junior, from now on, I'll hang out with you. See you in the cafeteria tomorrow!"
Fang Che chuckled, "Lost?"
The old student looked ashamed, "Lost. Fair and square."
"Since you lost, it wasn't a bet against me, was it?"
"Uh..."
"You're not even willing to bet on me, yet you want to eat with me?"
Fang Che looked surprised, "Brother, what are you thinking? You should go eat with whoever you bet on. Why with me?"
"Cough... Junior, now that you're so wealthy, is it that hard to invite struggling older classmates to dinner? Junior, think big."
This phrase could be considered a powerful tool for dealing with new students throughout the ages.
It's even a powerful tool for dealing with certain old students.
Few could resist this phrase; most would choose to "It's just a meal, let's get through the immediate situation first. We can't have a bad reputation as soon as we arrive at the martial arts school." And then they would comply.
But Fang Che was obviously not one of them.
"Brother, are you joking? Is your difficult life caused by me?"
Fang Che looked innocent.
"..."
The old student looked angry, "Fang Che, why are you so petty?"
"If you're not petty, then why come here and be petty about this meal with me?"
Fang Che said, "Brother, don't be so petty in life! You're trying to save even on a meal? Seriously? Are you begging? Are you a beggar?"
"Fang Che, if you don't want to treat, that's fine, but there's no need for bad words." Another big accusation was thrown.
"What do you mean by treating? Do I owe you a favor, brother?"
Fang Che looked puzzled and asked, "Those who bet on me can't be considered as me owing them a favor, because they won with me, so I don't owe anyone. How come those who didn't bet on me want me to treat?"
"Because those who bet on others lost and have no points to eat, so they come to let the winners who didn't bet treat? What about dignity?"
"I just want to ask, where in the world does this make sense?"
Fang Che asked in astonishment, "Can someone explain this to me?"
