48 A little cute (2/2)
”Instructor, you are wrong.”
Fang Yuan snorted, his gaze not showing any weakness, looking right at the instructor, ”Practising and fighting, we naturally have to give it our all, otherwise how can it achieve the aim of training? Don’t tell me that when we are in battle, we also have to request our enemies to be more gentle and friendly?”
The instructor flew into a rage, ”Hmph, your attacks are vicious, you are harming your classmates and you dare to use twisted logic!”
”Instructor, you’re wrong again.”
Fang Yuan laughed coldly, ”You arranged this practice match and raised the winning prize to twenty primeval stones. Without your encouragement, would these people have gotten hurt?”
”Bastard!” The martial arts instructor was not good with words, and he pointed at Fang Yuan and scowled, ”Do you still want the prize or not? If you argue any further, even if you get first place, I will declare you a loser! You are so uncooperative and antisocial, and you dare to argue with your teachers, you have no rights to claim the twenty primeval stones as reward!”
Fang Yuan laughed heartily. ”It is but a competition that merely gives twenty primeval stones, do you think I give a damn?”
Saying so, he turned around and left. Under the class’ distraught gaze, he walked out of the center of arena.
Although he did not manage to sell the image wall, Fang Yuan still had several hundreds of primeval stones in his possession. Furthermore, his aim this time was not primeval stones.
”You!” Seeing Fang Yuan really walking down the stage, the instructor was stunned without words, showing an expression of shock and confusion.
A fifteen year old teenager, shouldn’t he be competitive and full of vigor?
Fang Yuan having such fighting talents, shouldn’t his character be even more so? How could he just back out of the competition like this?
Furthermore, Fang Yuan has no background, he should be tight on primeval stones. Why was the twenty primeval stones unable to attract him?
At this point, the martial arts instructor stood on the spot, unsure of what to do.
Fang Yuan did not step into the trap, but left the stage immediately.
The instructor suddenly realized: There was nothing he could do to Fang Yuan. With his status, he could not find problems with Fang Yuan directly, and force him onto the stage right?
The surrounding students retreated, maintaining a distance away from Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan stood on the grounds, with no one around him. With him as the center, the radius of five steps around him became a vacuum.
What a pity.
If they were beside Fang Yuan, they would hear Fang Yuan’s panting sound.
”My stamina is depleted,” Fang Yuan sighed. Although he showed an energetic outward appearance, under his clothes, his body was slightly shivering.
After all, he was only fifteen years old and had no relevant Gu worm as support. After thirty-three matches, he was close to his limits.
Although he had his rich fighting experience from his past life, during this time, the other youngsters’ combat abilities had improved significantly. From them, Fang Yuan could already feel a strengthening sense of pressure.
This kind of pressure reflected in Fang Yuan’s attacks. His attacks got tougher as he gradually lost control of his strength. Compared to the past, when they were still too weak and he could defeat them easily, the youngsters would only end up in minor injuries. But now, his control over the arena was getting weaker, thus he had to strike harder to maintain his image.
”Experience is, after all, not omnipotent. Any thoughts or technique require a body with sufficient foundation before the value can be apparent.” Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes. In actuality he had long seen through the martial instructor’s thoughts.
Fang Yuan was not surprised, as if he had expected this from the start, the academy elder’s pressure on him.
After he killed Gao Wan, the people who dared to challenge him diminished. When he extorted them, even more people oppressed by Fang Yuan’s dominance did not dare resist, and they obediently handed over their primeval stones.
After a long period, Fang Yuan’s unbeatable image would be formed. This would leave some psychological trauma in the youngsters and make them unconfident in their martial arts techniques. This was what the academy elder did not want to see. He needed Fang Yuan to motivate and force the students to improve, not to completely extinguish their passion for battle.
He wanted to see Fang Yuan’s defeat.
Once Fang Yuan was defeated, the image of invincibility that he had erected would be instantly destroyed.
At the same time, it would awaken the students’ fighting spirit. After some setbacks, it would mould their wills to be indomitable.
But to Fang Yuan, he needed this form of pressure so that he could extort primeval stones with greater ease.
If he was defeated, the youngsters would realize his weakness and attack together at once. Although Fang Yuan had ample of primeval stones in his hands, extortion was his main source of income. Without this source, he would be digging into his reserves.
Thus, Fang Yuan’s appearance in the arena and thirty-three consecutive victories was merely to maintain his deterrence towards the students, and not for the twenty primeval stones reward.
If he avoided combat from the start, it would show his weakness, and if it raged on, he would expose his weakness.
”What are you all waiting for, why is nobody getting up on the stage, go on! The first prize is twenty primeval stones, you all don’t want it anymore?” The instructor yelled after snapping out of his thoughts.
The rest of the students began to get motivated.
Fang Yuan had already left the stage, and to them, it was a huge rock off their minds.
”I’ll go!”
”I’ll come!”
Two youngsters squeezed their way up the stage and began to spar.
”Sigh, if I had known this, I would have waited and not rushed up the stage. Then I would not have been throw off the stage by Fang Yuan.”
”What a pity, to think Fang Yuan left.”
”He’s really daring, see even the instructor is at a lost for what to do with him.”
Hearing their whispers, the instructor felt his reputation crumbling. He was extremely agitated in his heart and wanted to punish Fang Yuan thoroughly. However, Fang Yuan had done nothing wrong, and leaving the stage on his own accord was allowed.
The instructor was both helpless and moody. Finally he looked at Fang Yuan and stared angrily at the latter.
Fang Yuan’s lips slightly curled up into an angle as he thought, ”Such boorish methods, this instructor is a little cute.”
