In mid-to-late September, Fang Ping kept a very low profile.
The scenery at the beginning of school was gradually forgotten as others performed well.
Not many people use the title "Newcomer King" nowadays.
By the end of September, the most outstanding performers were several warriors who had already completed the second bone tempering.
Zhao Lei completed the tempering of 40 bones without slowing down. Within a month, he completed the tempering of 9 bones, and even Tang Feng was full of praise.
Fu Changding is not much slower, and has now completed the tempering of 38 bones.
Among the girls, Yang Xiaoman also completed 38 pieces, while Chen Yunxi was a little slower and completed 37 pieces of bone tempering.
These people are the most influential people in the past month.
Moreover, these few people also joined the Mowu Martial Arts Club. When Fang Ping was recruiting new people, he didn't go at all.
Three points and one line, dormitory, teaching building, training room.
Except for other people who saw Fang Ping during cultural classes, they rarely saw him at other times. Even though the class organized several activities, Fang Ping did not participate.
In less than a month, even the new students who had broken through the second bone tempering and became warriors were more famous than Fang Ping.
Of course, Fang Ping didn't care about this. What warriors compete for is not fame, especially in the freshmen stage. Tutors have been assigned and credits are fixed. Performance is not necessary at this time.
…
The one who really had more contact with Fang Ping was Zhao Xuemei.
End of September.
training room.
Zhao Xuemei looked at Fang Ping curiously while practicing poking her feet.
When school started, she felt that this boy liked to be in the limelight, was extremely high-profile, and was a bit exaggerated.
But during this time, she discovered that Fang Ping was very different from what she imagined. He didn't talk so much and acted very calmly.
We are all young people. Even people like Zhao Lei can't help but talk too much sometimes and have a strong desire to express themselves.
How many bones they tempered were revealed by themselves, otherwise how would outsiders know?
But Fang Ping never said this, and Lu Fengrou didn't ask. In fact, she might have noticed it, but she didn't say anything.
After being in contact with Fang Ping for a month, Zhao Xuemei saw that Fang Ping was still practicing boringly alone, so she couldn't help but said: "Hey, how many bones have you tempered?"
"I have a name." Fang Ping smiled lightly and asked, "What about you?"
"35 yuan."
Zhao Xuemei did not hide it, and said a little disappointed: "At first, everyone was about the same, but it turned out that I only had 4 bones in a month, which was nearly half the time slower than them.
In the beginning, I actually felt that my speed was not slow, after all, I also tempered 31 bones.
But who knows, the further you go, the slower it gets."
"Then why didn't you temper your bones a second time?"
Zhao Xuemei said angrily: "Do you think anyone can do it? I accumulated qi and blood to 169 calories, and then I couldn't get up. Taking pills was useless. Instead, the qi and blood rioted, and I almost exploded.
I had no choice but to make a breakthrough.
A warrior with 169 calories of energy and blood, so I tempered my bones very quickly at first and didn't take it seriously.
After I entered Mowu, I realized that compared with others, I was much slower.
Hey, I really envy you people.
You have tempered your bones three times, and it has been almost a month since you broke through to become a warrior. You should be tempering your bones not too slowly. Zhao Lei can temper 9 bones in a month, so you should at least have 10!"
"Almost."
Fang Ping said perfunctorily, and Zhao Xuemei was a little dissatisfied. How close was it?
During the bone quenching period, the difference between a single bone is huge, okay!
Fang Ping didn't want to say anything, and Zhao Xuemei didn't ask in detail, but just said: "Everyone is actually quite curious about you. You don't show up much, but Xiaoman and the others are asking me about you."
Fang Ping frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "What are they asking me for? Am I that handsome?"
"Come on, stop being narcissistic. They don't like you. They are different from me. They are strong and beautiful. School has just started, and many seniors have begun to pursue them.
There are also many seniors who are in the third level!"
Zhao Xuemei was a little envious. It was one thing to agree or not, but being pursued by others was also a manifestation of vanity for a woman.
Especially a senior who is in the third level!
The third-level realm, even in Mowu, is not a big deal.
Zhao Lei and others are expected to become second-grade students in their freshman year, but they may not be able to become third-grade students in their sophomore year. There is still room for success in their junior year.
Before graduating from senior year, you may not necessarily be able to reach the fourth grade. It is very possible to graduate from the third grade.
There are more than 6,000 students in Mowu. Although there are many third-level warriors, they are not too many. One or two hundred people can support them to death.
There are less than ten people in the fourth level.
Currently, there are only two people who are known to be in the fifth level.
Almost all of these fourth- and fifth-grade people are not in school. They are said to be students. In fact, they rarely come to Mowu. They are more in the local area or other places.
Currently, there are only a handful of fourth-level students staying in Mowu. Zhang Yu, the president of the martial arts club, a fourth-level student, is already one of the top people in Mowu.
Otherwise, Zhang Yu would not have cared about Wang Jinyang and chose to retreat.
Fang Ping heard her envy and smiled: "It's nothing to pursue them in the third level.
When you yourself become the third or even fourth grade, then you will see that it will be just like that.
What's more..."
Fang Ping paused for a moment and then said: "If you still stay in school and pursue the third grade of girls, that's it."
"Um?"
Zhao Xuemei showed confusion, and Fang Ping said calmly: "Mowu has many tasks, how can I have so much time to pursue girls.
I know a person, Qin Fengqing, the vice president of the martial arts club.
It would be great if this guy can go back to school once a month. He is almost always outside doing tasks. I met him once when school started.
Then I met him once yesterday. This guy just came back and his body smelled like blood.
In the morning, when I came out, I happened to see him carrying a package and going out again. This is the third-level warrior I imagined!"
Qin Fengqing was able to reach the peak of the first level at the beginning of the year and reach the third level now. If Fang Ping thought it was luck before, he doesn't think so now.
That guy is also a madman. Although he has definitely not finished tempering the trunk bones, Fang Ping feels that it shouldn't be too far away.
After reaching the third level, there are actually not too many students staying in school. Even if they come back, it will be a short break, not a long stay.
Those students of Lu Fengrou are all in the third level. So far, Fang Ping has not seen any of them.
As for the person who stayed at the school, Fang Ping has not contacted him, and he doesn’t know if he is still at the school now.
These people are in line with Fang Ping’s previous thoughts, that the third grade is very dangerous!
As for those third-grade students who stayed in school, most of them were new to the third-grade class and were not very motivated. At least they had not thought about becoming a fourth-grade student before graduation.
Zhao Xuemei thought about it and felt that it made some sense. Of course, it was mostly about self-comfort.
Without continuing the topic, Zhao Xuemei added: "The challenge between you and those old students seems to have become less popular recently. Has it been cancelled?"
"No, it will be tomorrow."
Fang Ping smiled and said, "I'm going to go home, I'm too lazy to waste time with them."
In October, there is still a National Day holiday.
It has been two months since I came to Shanghai at the end of July, and Fang Ping is planning to go home and visit.
"Tomorrow?" Zhao Xuemei asked in surprise: "Why didn't you say?"
"say what?"
"Here's to cheering you up! You are also my classmate after all, and we are still a mentor. Compared to other people, we are close to each other.
It's good for you, you're not enthusiastic at all."
Zhao Xuemei sighed: "Yes, if it were Xiaoman or Yunxi, you would definitely be much more enthusiastic."
Fang Ping laughed and said: "You are overthinking it. It has nothing to do with your appearance. Besides, you are not ugly..."
"That's still ugly!" Zhao Xuemei snorted.
"I don't mean that." Fang Ping said with a smile: "To be honest, it's not ugly, it's just slovenly... Do you understand what I mean?
Female warriors are also women, so they should dress up when they should.
You act like a man all day long. Although Yang Xiaoman is also heroic, I see that she also wears makeup and pays attention to her clothes."
"is that so?"
Zhao Xuemei glanced at her clothes, her practice clothes, which were nothing special.
As for putting on makeup, I’m almost exhausted from practicing every day. Who has time to do it? Besides, even if I sweat, it’s not all gone.
However, what Fang Ping said did give her some comfort.
Thinking about it, Zhao Xuemei added: "I haven't said anything about cheering you up yet. Where will we compete tomorrow? I'll call Xiaoman and the others together..."
"Better not go!"
"Why?"
Fang Ping let out a breath and said after a while, "I don't know what will happen tomorrow."
The old student's challenge to him caused a bit of a fuss at first, but in the later stages, it completely calmed down, as if it was no longer a problem.
The quieter it was, the more Fang Ping felt something was wrong.
If it really makes a big fuss, and the whole school knows it, then the old students are more likely to vent their anger. At most, they will humiliate Fang Ping and hit Wang Jinyang for a while.
But now, there is very little movement and not many people know about it. This is the problem.
You can't humiliate Fang Ping in a big way, so defeating Fang Ping is of little significance. After all, Fang Ping has been keeping a low profile recently, and no one even calls him "Newcomer King".
If old students want to show off their power to new students, they should go to Zhao Lei and the others.
In this case, why continue the challenge?
Simply to defeat Fang Ping?
Fang Ping didn't think so. Maybe, these guys really wanted to kill themselves or maim themselves.
It's too bloody. Although the rules allow it, it's not good for too many people to know about it, so it's so low-key.
There were only a few people, so I couldn’t hold back a word of discussion afterwards, and something unexpected happened, so I just excused myself and got over.
Anyway, everyone didn't see it, just like Fang Ping, he didn't see how Wang Jinyang cut off other people's arms or severely injured others. Although he thought it was a bit cruel, he really didn't have much thought.
But now, if he saw it live, he would definitely feel differently.
He thought so himself, and Lu Fengrou also mentioned it once. Fang Ping was extra vigilant at the moment, far from being as calm as he appeared.
Zhao Xuemei thought she was just playing house and wanted to go over to cheer!
Did she think this was the opening of a branch school?
When the hospital was sorted, it was no different from playing house. Everyone was having fun. Even if Fu Changding was beaten, he was only slightly injured.
If the students really wanted to kill him, Fu Changding would have been beaten to death long ago.
Just as Fang Ping refused, Lu Fengrou suddenly walked in from outside.
He glanced at Fang Ping, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, poking the feet is considered a small achievement. Let's compete tomorrow?"
"Um."
"I'll go over there tomorrow and take a look. Don't embarrass me."
After saying that, Lu Fengrou looked at Zhao Xuemei and said, "You can come with me tomorrow. You don't have to call anyone else. Just come by yourself in the morning."
"Thank you, instructor!"
Zhao Xuemei quickly thanked her and looked at Fang Ping with some demonstration, "If you don't let me go, the instructor will take me with you!"
Fang Ping didn't bother to argue with her, and Lu Fengrou didn't look at her and said casually: "Xuemei goes back first, I'll have a few words with Fang Ping."
Zhao Xuemei did not delay, packed her things and left.
As soon as she left, Lu Fengrou said: "I have said everything that needs to be said.
Pay attention to yourself tomorrow, don't worry about anything else, go into the ring, life or death, no one will interfere.
If you are defeated, you can admit defeat. If you admit defeat, I can intervene.
Let me help you find out about the students who are organizing the challenge this time. The leader is Liu Yongwen, a junior, who is in the third level.
He has a younger brother who entered Mowu last year and is also a genius.
At the end of the first semester of my freshman year, I reached the peak of first grade.
As a result, his sternum was shattered during a competition. He is still in the hospital and has not been discharged from the hospital. After he is discharged, he will have to recuperate for a year or two.
This time is the golden cultivation time!
After a few years of delay, it is conceivable that most of the people will be useless.
In this case, you have to figure it out yourself, right..."
As she spoke, Lu Fengrou threw a medicine bottle to Fang Ping and said with a nonchalant expression: "The second-grade Qi and Blood Pill can explode. As for whether it will explode, it depends on your luck. I think you can do it."
Fang Ping quickly thanked: "Thank you, mentor!"
Second-grade Qi and Blood Pills are not cheap. Even in Mowu, exchanging a second-grade Qi and Blood Pill costs 20 credits!
The ones sold by outsiders were more expensive. As soon as Fang Ping got this second-grade Qi and Blood Pill, his wealth increased by nearly 500,000.
According to the system's 70% discount, if sold to an outside party, the price would be around 700,000.
Even second-grade or even third-grade warriors don't use this thing very often. They mostly take it when they have a breakthrough.
As for what Lu Fengrou said before, Fang Ping also took it to heart and understood what she meant.
The fact that his sternum was smashed to pieces in the competition must be Lao Wang's fault.
Lu Fengrou didn't say much, turned around and left.
Before leaving, I thought about it and asked: "Is the foot bone tempering completed?"
"Um."
"Genius?"
Lu Fengrou smiled, shook her head, stopped talking, and left.
In less than a month, 26 bones have been tempered!
If this isn't genius, what is?
If this continues, Fang Ping will be able to enter the second level by the end of this semester.
If it's level three, it'll probably be faster.
Three products a year?
When he reaches the third level, he is exposed to a wider world, and he is afraid that Fang Ping will not be able to sit still.
She had a lot of students, but now, many of them died. In fact, sometimes Lu Fengrou wished they could slow down a bit.
Therefore, she teaches students and usually does not supervise them too much.
Like Zhao Xuemei, her bone tempering speed is not too fast, and Lu Fengrou is not angry either, and rarely criticizes her.
It may be better to proceed step by step. Fang Ping's progress is too fast, which may not be a good thing.
…
Fang Ping didn't care about Lu Fengrou's attitude and looked at his physical condition attentively:
Wealth: 5,410,000
Qi and blood: 261 cards (269 cards)
Spirit: 231 Hz (239 Hz)
These days, as bone tempering has progressed, Qi and blood have also increased rapidly.
It’s less than a month since the breakthrough. When I first broke through, I had 239 calories, and my energy and blood increased by 30 calories!
Of course, the wealth value is also consumed horribly. This is because the wealth value increased by 500,000 just after receiving the second-grade Qi and Blood Pill. In fact, for these 30 cards of Qi and Blood, Fang Ping consumed 2.6 million in wealth value!
The main reason is not consumption of Qi and blood, but bone tempering. Bone tempering requires a large amount of Qi and blood. Fang Ping can progress so quickly only because of the continuous replenishment of Qi and blood.
"The remaining wealth values will allow me to complete the tempering of the first-level realm."
There are 62 bones in the lower limbs. He just finished tempering 26 foot bones yesterday, and there are still 36 bones left that have not been tempered, including large bones like leg bones.
According to this situation, after the tempering is completed, the remaining wealth value of more than 5 million is almost empty.
Even if there is any left, there won't be much left.
"It takes almost 100,000 wealth points to complete the tempering of a bone, and I'm afraid it's even more at the second level. People like Zhao Lei are making fast progress now, but the resources in the later stage will probably be gone, so I'm afraid it will slow down."
In the early stage, everyone has credits, and progress is not slow. After that, they are all consumed. Unless your family supports you, or you have to do the tasks yourself, otherwise, the progress will definitely slow down.
If the resources are constant, these people may enter the second grade in the first semester of their freshman year. If the resources are cut off, that is not necessarily the case. They may have to wait until their sophomore year.
"Ignore them, just take care of myself."
Fang Ping let out a breath, stopped training, tidied up, and walked out of the training room.
