Chapter 475 The Guests Gathered
Chen Yunxi did not spend too much time with Chen Haoran. They soon arrived at the martial arts club.
In the office.
Fang ping was checking the guest list with Zhang Yu. When he saw Chen Yunxi entering the room without a word and starting to pack up, he could not help but laugh.”Why didn’t you spend more time with your brother?”
“President Qin took the initiative to keep him company …”
Chen Yunxi was halfway through her sentence when Fang ping and Zhang Yu looked at each other. After a while, the two of them looked at Chen Yunxi strangely.
Are you selling me?
Don’t you know what Qin Fengqing’s personality is like?
You just threw your brother to Qin Fengqing like this?
That bastard Qin Fengqing had wanted to find trouble with Chen Haoran since the second championship. Now, you’re actually sending your brother into The Tiger’s Den?
Chen Yunxi was embarrassed by their gazes. She blushed and said, “It’s fine. President Qin will at most beat him up. My Grandpa also said that my brother lacks motivation. I think … I think it’s good for him to be beaten up. “
After being beaten up, he would naturally have motivation.
Chen Yunxi felt that she had not done anything wrong in this regard.
“Look at mcmau. Everyone grows from being beaten up. There’s no motivation without pressure.
Fang ping laughed. ‘Alright, since you’ve said so and your grandfather has the same plan, then there’s nothing else to say.’
After looking at the guest list for a while, Fang ping thought for a while before saying,”I forgot to invite some people.”
He had seen this list once before, but he had been very busy these days, so he had only glanced through it.
The Grandmaster’s banquet would be held tomorrow. Now that he was watching it again, he realized that something was missing.
When Zhang Yu heard this, he hurriedly said,”we’ve already invited everyone. Who else is missing?”
This matter couldn’t be ignored. It was one thing to come, and another to invite.
Fang ping pondered for a moment and said,”for the families of the instructors and students who died in battle, the grandmasters ‘banquet is to praise their achievements and honor. It’s not just a banquet for a few grandmasters. This is mcmau’s honor!
He hadn’t considered this point before and had made a mistake.
I’ll immediately arrange for someone to pick him up personally.
“In addition, we’ll personally go pick up the disabled instructors from the old District tomorrow.”
“Family members of mcmau’s teachers and students, should we arrange for a few representatives to attend?” Chen Yunxi asked softly.
Seeing Fang ping look over, Chen Yunxi whispered,””To increase everyone’s sense of belonging and to let your family attend the Grandmaster’s banquet is also an affirmation of everyone.”
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said,””Actually, someone mentioned it before, but considering that there are too many people here, and we’re all family, it’s not too late to celebrate in private …”
Fang ping exhaled and said,”please!” Please! I haven’t had much time to care about this these past few days, so I’ve neglected it. “There are some things that we’ve indeed overlooked. For example, the family members of instructor Tang, the grandmasters, the children of the Dean, the teachers … Please!”
“What about the students?”
“The parents of the outstanding students can come …”
“Fang Yuan is coming too?” Chen Yunxi said excitedly.
Fang Ping’s expression froze. He could not help but laugh.”She … Why did you think of her?”
Chen Yunxi snickered.”Sister Fang Yuan is very cute. I think it’ll be livelier with her here.”
Fang ping was speechless. He did not say much about this and continued, “We’ve sent invitations to the central government, the three ministries, the four prefectures, the Governor-General’s Office, the other 98 martial arts universities, the three major military schools, and even Star Town City. The three major companies and some mcmau graduates have also sent us invitations.
The martial arts world has sent out a few invitations as well. Take a look and see if you’ve missed out on anyone. “
It wasn’t too late to remember now, but it would be too late to remember when it started tomorrow.
Chen Yunxi quickly looked at it and whispered,””Will we be able to receive many gifts tomorrow?”
With so many people, they were all great forces.
No matter how stingy the three grandmasters were, they wouldn’t be too stingy to hold a Grandmaster’s banquet together, right?
Fang ping rubbed his forehead. Zhang Yu held back his laughter and did not say a word. He looked at the name list silently.
Chen Yunxi did not seem to notice anything wrong. Fang ping looked at her a few times and could not help but ask,”Yun Xi, you weren’t so Philistine before.”
What was he thinking!
We’re talking about the guests, and you’re saying “receiving gifts” is a lot, is this what you should be thinking?
Chen Yunxi raised her head, her eyes slightly dazed. What’s wrong?
Fang ping saw her clueless expression and said helplessly, “I’m fine now. “
This woman had been led astray!
Qin Fengqing, this bastard, don’t let him appear in the martial arts club next time.”
……
Just as Fang ping was talking about Qin Fengqing, Qin Fengqing punched Chen Haoran’s eye!
Chen Haoran’s eyes instantly turned purple!
Qin Fengqing’s expression was serious. He frowned and said,””There’s a big problem with your combat technique. It’s obvious that you’re blocking the air. As a middle-ranked martial artist, the head is the part that we need to defend the most during our defense period. It’s also the most dangerous weakness for middle-ranked martial artists.
I’ve easily broken through your brain’s defense. Once you get into a battle, you’ll be easily killed!”
Chen Haoran rubbed his eyes and resisted the urge to cry. He nodded and said,””You’re right … But …”
“You’re a rank-5, and I’m a rank-4. It’s not entirely a problem of combat techniques that you managed to break through my defense …”Chen Haoran paused for a moment before continuing.
Qin Fengqing shook his head.”Then you’re wrong. I’m only at early-stage rank-5 too. Don’t tell me that you’ve reached peak rank-4 just to fight against those of the same rank? “As the president of scmau’s martial arts Society and the number one among the students, your goal is only to become a martial artist of the same level?
If that’s the case, then the gap between you and the others will only widen.
I don’t need you to kill enemies above your level, but you should at least make sure you don’t get killed instantly, right?”
Chen Haoran’s face turned serious as he said,””What Brother Qin said is reasonable!”
As a prodigy martial artist, it was indeed a little shallow to keep his eyes on those of the same rank.
Seeing Chen Haoran’s serious expression, Qin Fengqing nodded slightly. He was ecstatic. He had learned something new!
Fang ping, that kid, loved to stand on the moral high ground and say things that seemed very reasonable but made people suffer a great loss.
In the past, when he beat someone up … He would usually be retaliated against.
Now, look, after beating up Chen Haoran, this kid still had to thank him for his guidance!
Qin Fengqing reflected on himself for a while. There were some things that he had to learn more about. When he thought of this, Qin Fengqing rubbed his fists and wiped his palms. He chuckled. “You’re welcome, brother Chen. Let’s continue. When you can block my fist on your head, this spar will be meaningful.”
“Then let’s continue!”
Chen Haoran let out a sigh of relief. Let’s continue. The more hardships we have to endure during the training period, the more chances we will have to win in the face of life and death.
……
While Qin Fengqing was beating up Chen Haoran, Fang ping was almost done with the guest list.
After he was done, Fang ping looked at Zhang Yu and said after a moment of silence,”Tomorrow, all the students of rank-3 and above will gather at the school gate to welcome the guests!
“We’ll also let everyone know that mcmau isn’t hosting a Grandmaster’s banquet, and that martial arts universities are all about the students!”
“All of you?”
Zhang Yu was a little surprised. Fang ping nodded.
When Zhang Yu heard this, he paused for a moment before saying,”Currently, there’s one rank-6, three rank-5s, 48 rank-4s, and … 412 rank-3s in the school. Are you really going?”
Fang ping was stunned for a moment. He had not asked about these things for a few days. Only now did he know that so many people had entered rank-3!
“More than 400 rank-3s?”
Zhang Yu nodded.”Yes, more than 400. And it’s still increasing!”
“That many?”
Fang ping rubbed his face. More and more people were breaking through recently. He was a little surprised.
Zhang Yu’s expression was slightly complicated. He said softly,””At the end of August last year, when we were taking over, the school had 9 rank-4 students and 51 rank-3 students … It’s only been less than a year. Fang ping … You’re the most suitable person to lead mcmau to the future.”
Fang ping shook his head. He had no intention of showing off, so he said casually,”It doesn’t really have much to do with me. Mcmau’s explosive growth is actually the result of 60 years of accumulation. “The one who has truly led mcmau to where we are now is the old Vice-Chancellor and the mcmau veterans.
“You don’t know how many resources mcmau has prepared for this moment.
“The older generation scrimped and saved. When they were injured, they refused to treat their injuries. They crushed a pill to use. It’s not that they can’t afford it, but they want to leave it for us.
“These people are mcmau’s soul, mcmau’s spirit!”
After a few simple words, Fang ping continued, “It’s the same with so many people. Tomorrow morning at 6 O’ clock, we’ll gather at the school gate! “Uniform, keep your spirits up, don’t let outsiders look down on mcmau.
It’s time for us to show off our strength.
The more critical the situation was, the more powerful he was, and the more authority he had, the more he would be valued.
“The weak are not qualified to participate in this. You have to know what I mean. The more critical it is, the more it will reflect the ecological chain relationship of the survival of the fittest.”
Zhang Yu nodded. At this moment, he had also achieved rank-5. Although he had only broken through a few days ago, the stronger he was, the more he understood the logic behind it.
The more chaotic and dangerous the situation was, the more the strong had the right to speak.
Mcmau’s Grandmaster’s banquet this time was also a fight for the right to speak.
Even if mcmau did not have a rank-9 Paragon or a rank-9, there were many middle and low-ranked powerhouses, and they were all so young, they would still have greater power.
……
On April 1st, Shanghai began to become lively.
People arrived in demonic city one after another, and all the forces gathered.
Even in society, ordinary people knew that Magic City Martial Arts university was going to hold a Grandmaster’s banquet. Many ordinary people started to discuss it.
……
2nd of April.
Early in the morning, mcmau was decorated with decorations and jubilant atmosphere.
“Martial arts universities are schools, but they’re also not schools.
It could even be seen as a modern sect of the new era.
A teacher breaking through to the Grandmaster realm was an honor for the entire school, and no one was unhappy about it.
In a hotel not far from mcmau.
On the rooftop of the hotel.
A few Grandmaster powerhouses looked at mcmau from afar. When they saw a group of students in tight-fitting clothes gathered at the school gate, one of the Grandmaster powerhouses could not help but sigh softly.”Mcmau is getting stronger and stronger. Mcmau’s strength does not lie in having a few more high-ranks.”
Beside him, a female Grandmaster nodded slightly and said,””Indeed, just the quality of the students … Is comparable to our school’s instructors.”
There were dozens of middle-ranked students and hundreds of rank-3 students.
“In normal martial arts universities, rank-3 instructors.
A student with the strength of hundreds of instructors was even stronger than some of the non-professional martial arts universities.
The few of them discussed in low voices. Someone laughed and said,””We’re fine. It’s always been the same anyway. On the other hand, I’m afraid ccmau will be in a difficult position this time. “
“Who’s coming from ccmau this time?”
“Su Zhan!”
“Him?”
“Isn’t he afraid that li Changsheng will cause him trouble?”someone laughed.
“I don’t think so. After all, it’s an important matter for mcmau. No matter how unruly li Changsheng is, he won’t make trouble at this time.”
“It’s hard to say … But I heard that li Changsheng has been in closed-door cultivation recently. I heard that if he wants to conjure his omniscience, he might not come out.”
“Su Zhan might not be afraid of him. Su Zhan had obtained a divine weapon before and his strength has increased greatly. Li Changsheng, a fake rank-8, might not be able to take him down.”
“It’s a dog-eat-dog fight. These two old fogeys were never good people when they were young. If li Changsheng didn’t beat su Zhan, su Zhan’s bad temper wouldn’t be any better than li Changsheng ‘s.”
“That’s true, we can just watch the fun. “
“……”
The grandmasters were talking and laughing, looking forward to li Changsheng’s exit.
……
At the entrance of mcmau.
The door opened.
The hundreds of students raised their heads and puffed out their chests, their faces filled with joy.
Fang ping stood in the middle while the students lined up on both sides. In front, a few rank-5 martial artists were leading the way.
On the left, Zhang Yu was the leader.
On the right, Chen Wenlong was in the lead.
As for Qin Fengqing, who was also a rank-5, Fang ping arranged for him to be at the back, using his poor image as an excuse. He was worried that his big bald head would ruin the school’s image.
Qin Fengqing did not mind. He was chatting with Liu Dali, who was in charge of photography.
As they chatted, Qin Fengqing found out that Liu Dali was also forced to work for Fang ping because of his debt. He could not help but feel more sympathetic toward him.
“How much do you owe him?”
“It’s not much, just a few million,”
“A few million? how many years of contract did you sign with him?”
“Ten years.”
Qin Fengqing suddenly felt extreme sympathy for Liu Dali. ‘You were sold for 10 years for a few million. Compared to you …’ Qin Fengqing suddenly felt that 100 years of selling himself was nothing.
This guy was the one who was really miserable!
How could a few million be called money?
At the same time, Qin Fengqing also looked down at Liu Dali. ‘We’re not the same. Liu Dali’s price is too cheap. Qin Fengqing feels that he’s of a higher class than him.’
As they were chatting, Liu Dali, who was filming, suddenly lowered his voice and said,””Mr. Fang’s sister is here!”
“What?”
Qin Fengqing turned his head and looked towards the school gate. He saw a group of more than twenty people walking towards the school gate uneasily.
There were old and young people, martial artists, and aspiring martial artists.
At the front of the crowd, a few young girls were looking over with their eyes darting around. They were a little nervous but also a little excited.
Qin Fengqing grinned. Fang Ping’s sister?
Fang ping was his biggest creditor. This kid was also a true nouveau riche. Should he … Consider it?
……
At the front of the crowd.
Fang ping also saw Fang Yuan. Seeing that this girl was so excited that she could not be any more excited, he felt a little helpless.
He had not specially arranged for Fang Yuan to be here.
However, Fang Ping’s family was naturally among the invited representatives. Fang mingrong and Li Xiuying heard that there would be a lot of people coming, including many grandmasters. When they heard this, their legs turned to jelly. In the end, Fang Yuan was the representative of the Fang family.
Seeing Fang Yuan deliberately straighten her back and pretend not to look at him when she saw him, Fang ping laughed to himself.
Ignoring the girl, Fang ping took a few steps forward, his expression solemn. He crossed his right hand across his chest and did a martial arts salute, saying loudly,”We welcome the family members of mcmau’s teachers and students! “On mcmau’s behalf, Fang ping would like to thank everyone for their hard work over the years and for cultivating countless talents for mcmau …”
Fang ping saluted. At the school gate, hundreds of students straightened their backs and saluted.
Some of the family members who came to the banquet were in tears, while others were at a loss and didn’t know what to do.
Among these people, some of them had family members who had died in the catacombs.
In the school, in the distance, a group of old people also had tears in their eyes.
Today belonged to mcmau.
……
The family members of the students and teachers were quickly led to the banquet venue by others.
Fang ping did not talk to Fang Yuan, but he could vaguely hear the girl talking to the girl beside her.
“Song ya, this is my brother. Isn’t he very handsome? I told my brother not to bully your dad last time. Did he say that he was bullied by my brother?”
The girl beside him said worriedly,””My dad came home a few days ago and said that he would fight to the death with your brother sooner or later. Yuanyuan, can my dad beat your brother?”
“Probably not. My brother has killed a peak rank-6 before!”
“Then what do we do?”
“Why don’t you … Buy me some good food and bribe me? I’ll ask my brother to give in …”
“……”
Fang ping did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the conversation between the two girls.
Song yingji, this old man, was a rank-6 powerhouse, after all. Was it necessary for him to go home and complain to his daughter?
[He actually wants to fight me to the death … Has he really gone crazy from the stimulation?]
Laughing was laughing, but Fang ping did not have the time to care about this. As soon as the family members arrived, the other guests began to arrive one after another.
On the military department’s side, Tian Mu came to congratulate on behalf of the military.
As a graduate of mcmau, Tian Mu had deep feelings for mcmau. When he saw the mcmau student lineup, he smiled and patted Fang ping for a long time, almost breaking Fang Ping’s bones.
It was just that he was a little stingy. The military department had also sent a congratulatory gift this time. It was not a resource, but a piece of calligraphy.
The words personally written by commander Li Zhen of the military department were brilliant and glorious!
Even though it was not a pill or an energy fruit, a piece of calligraphy from a Paragon powerhouse was more precious than these. The moment Tian Mu opened it, what Fang ping saw was not four words, but a beam of sword gleam that reached the sky!
Fang ping even suspected that it was his own illusion, but after looking at it carefully for a while, he confirmed that it was not.
Ordinary martial artists only saw four words, but Fang ping and the other martial artists with strong mentality saw a concentrated and undispersed spiritual pressure.
When Tian Mu entered the door, he reminded in a low voice,”These words are written for mcmau, but they’re mainly for li Changsheng’s breakthrough. Give it to li Changsheng later. They’re both powerhouses who use swords. These four words were condensed from commander Li’s mentality, so it’ll be of some help to him.”
Fang ping was overjoyed, but at the same time, he was solemn. Had Paragon powerhouses reached such a stage?
The spiritual power condensed into words and left the body, but it still existed!
One must know that a Grandmaster powerhouse’s mentality could be materialized, but once the mentality left the body, it would quickly dissipate.
For example, back in gigantic Willow City, the rank-9 willow tree could not maintain its mentality forever. Otherwise, the willow tree would not have to guard the spring of life all the time.
The fountain of life was sealed by the spiritual power. Once the willow tree stopped maintaining it, the spiritual power barrier would soon disappear, and the life essence would be lost.
Fang ping did not think too much about it. Very quickly, he arranged for someone to send this piece of calligraphy to the place where old man Li was cultivating in seclusion.
Perhaps with this piece of calligraphy, old man Li could complete his breakthrough very quickly.
Tian Mu was from the military department, Minister Wang from the Education Department, and Minister Hu from the detective Department, whom Fang ping knew.
Not all of the four houses of guardians were grandmasters. However, Wu Chuan had specially rushed over from the house of guardians in the South.
Initially, Wu Chuan was still guarding the Nanjiang catacombs. However, Zhao xingwu had been keeping watch in the Nanjiang catacombs all this while, so Wu Chuan had rushed over on purpose.
This was the only rank-9 powerhouse who had rushed over so far.
“Under normal circumstances, rank-9s would not participate in Grandmaster banquets.
“However, Wu Chuan has a close relationship with mcmau. It’s within expectations that he’ll come here especially.
The moment Wu Chuan arrived, a few grandmasters came to welcome him personally.
On Magic city’s side, Magic city’s Governor personally came over, giving them enough face.
On the sect’s side, Fang ping also saw a few familiar faces. The Qingtian mountain golden-bodied female powerhouse who had quarreled with old man Li the other day had arrived with a few young female martial artists.
A skinny monk from Wanshan temple had arrived with jiese.
On Mount Wangwu’s side, Grandmaster Zhao xingwu’s son had brought people to congratulate them.
……
On the martial arts University’s side, people from various schools had arrived, including people like li Hansong and Wang Jinyang.
In the business world, there were also some Grandmaster powerhouses who came to the banquet.
“All of a sudden, the number of grandmasters gathered in mcmau has exceeded 30.
There were also people from the three major companies, but they did not see Zheng Minghong.
On the side of Star Town City, there was also someone who came this time. It was not Li Mo, but a rank-7 martial artist. He did not bring the young man, but instead, he brought a cart of things.
This included some information and combat techniques collected in Star Town City. It could be considered as returning the favor of mcmau opening the combat techniques room last time.
There were more and more people.
The banquet was about to officially begin.
Fang ping did not look at the gifts. He took a deep breath, and when he saw that there were not many people coming, he turned around and walked toward the banquet venue.
