681 Elder Liu flipped out

Mcmau.

Fang ping had just flown to the southern area when a beam of golden light pierced through the sky and earth the next moment.

Behind him, old man Li cackled and said,Come, break through!

Fang ping rolled his eyes. The golden light was not caused by old man Li, but by a place of seclusion in the southern area.

Old Liu actually broke through!

Fang ping ignored old man Li. Instead, he was a little surprised and surprised.

Liu polu had been stuck at rank-7 for too long. Fang ping had thought that he would not have much hope this time. He did not expect that he would break through so soon!

The golden light pierced through the heavens and earth, and it quickly attracted the attention of the teachers and students.

Luo Yichuan and Zhang Jianhong, the two newly-promoted grandmasters, also rose into the air and rushed over.

It was only then that Fang ping realized that the two of them had reached rank-7.

Dean Luo, Dean ZhangYou two

Luo Yichuan also saw the two of them. He smiled and said,I just broke through a few days ago. Its just rank-7, nothing much. On the other hand, elder Liu is actually going to cast a golden body!

Luo Yichuan was overjoyed. As for what he had said about rank-7 being nothing, that was what he meant.

In the past, a rank-7 Grandmaster would have been considered a Big Shot in mcmau.

In the outside world, he would be a top expert.

But now, there are more and more grandmasters in mcmau, more and more. At this point, there are already 15 of them. At this point, rank-7s are insignificant.

Despite Luo Yichuans words, Fang ping still laughed.Dean Luo, dont be so modest. Rank-7 is Grandmaster. If word of this gets out, those rank-7 Grandmasters will come looking for trouble with you.

Luo Yichuan glanced at him. Youre only a rank-7 too, right?

Are you saying that you want to cause me trouble or that you dont treat yourself as a rank-7?

Luo Yichuan did not have the time to bother with him. The golden light in the sky was getting brighter.

Fang ping had never seen any signs of a rank-7 ascending to rank-8. When old man Li ascended that day, he was a fake rank-8, not a true rank-8. After that, he walked the path of myriad DAOs as one directly.

Fang ping had never seen anyone else advance.

At this moment, everyone flew toward Liu polus seclusion.

In the distance, Guo shengquan and the others also rushed over.

Liu polus closed-door cultivation was in his crystal Pagoda. However, it was not at the top of the pagoda. He was not as flashy as Fang ping. Instead, he was cultivating underground.

At this moment, he could only see the golden light and not the person.

Below the crystal Pagoda, teachers and students were constantly rushing over.

Fang ping and the others quickly missed. As soon as they missed, li Hansong leaped into the air, Fang Yuan still in his hand. Behind him, Chen Yunxi came through the air.

Chen Yunxi and Fang Yuan were overjoyed to see Fang ping.

Brother!

Fang ping!

Fang ping nodded slightly. He glanced at the two of them and smiled. Thats right, Yunxi is almost at peak rank-5. Once shes at peak rank-5, rank-6 isnt far away.

The round fellow is already at rank-2. Not bad!

Fang Yuans face was full of pride. Ive only been in school for a month and Im already rank-2. Of course Im amazing.

Fang ping complimented her. Suddenly, he furrowed his brows slightly and stared at Fang Yuan for a while without saying anything.

After looking at Fang Yuan for a while, Fang ping glanced at Bai Ruoxi, who had just rushed over. His brows furrowed slightly, and after a while, he said in a low voice,Next time, ask me first if you have something to ask!

Bai Ruoxi did not make a sound. Old man Li kicked Fang ping, causing him to stagger but not say a word.

The others pretended not to see it. Bai Ruoxi was not a Grandmaster, so there were some things she could not understand.

As martial artists, the Qi dynamic was different whether one killed or not.

No matter how young Fang ping was, he was still a powerhouse close to rank-8. How could he not tell?

Fang ping took a deep breath. He did not look at the others anymore. Instead, he looked at the crystal Pagoda and said,Elder Liu is about to break through. Mcmau will soon have its fifth rank-8 powerhouse. Congratulations!

Old man Li quickly changed the topic as well. He smiled and said, Its not easy for elder Liu. His essence, Qi, and spirit are almost worn out. Previously, he didnt have any hope of achieving rank-8.

Now that Ive broken through, my essence, energy, and spirit have returned.

As the few of them spoke, a blinding golden light appeared in the sky.

Lure!

At this moment, a loud shout came from the crystal Pagoda, and everyone looked up.

In the sky, a Buddha-like shadow appeared.

Its a projection of the power of a rank-8 breakthrough. Pay attention to it so that you wont be ignorant later.

Old man Li said again. At this time, Fang ping also started to watch seriously.

After Liu polu shouted, his projection appeared in the air. It was a golden projection.

The Golden projection seemed to be transparent, and even his internal organs and blood vessels could be seen clearly.

Fang ping saw the blood-colored blood vessels turn golden in an instant. The red blood also turned golden in an instant and began to flow in the blood vessels.

His internal organs, which had previously been like crystals, had all turned golden at this moment.

Where the head was, the golden light was even more dazzling.

Golden body transformation!

A true rank-8 powerhouse would turn everything into a golden body, including his internal organs and blood.

He was no different from an average person in his normal state, but when he went all out, a rank-8 powerhouse was a golden man.

Old man Li knew that Fang ping was getting closer and closer to that step. He explained quickly,Did you see that? Once his mentality had reached the required level, he began to guide his bone marrow to be tempered, turning it into a golden body!

The Golden body transformation of bone marrow rapidly transformed the other parts of the human body, completely turning the human body into a golden body.

The reason why you call it a pseudo-golden body is that your internal organs havent completed the Golden body transformation, so when youre facing an enemy, your internal organs can be easily crushed. Its only because you have so many life-saving items that youre able to survive. Otherwise, you would have been killed long ago.

At this moment, the Golden shadow in the sky was no longer a shadow, and it even showed signs of solidifying.

How did this projection form? Fang ping asked curiously.

Its powerful, and its projected on its own.

Fang ping nodded slightly, then said,the projected apparition should be similar to elder Liu S. Ive noticed a problem. Elder Lius golden body doesnt seem to be condensed enough. Its a little like

Before Fang ping could finish, old man Li laughed and said,It looks like its made of sand?

Right!

This is the reason why the Golden body is forged! Having just entered rank-8, the Golden bodies were still very fragile and sparse.

Forging was to pile up sand into a golden body and forge it into a golden body made of concrete.

The Golden body of concrete is then Reforged into a golden body of steel. Step by step, the Golden body is forged without any flaws. This is the ninth refinement of the Golden body!

Old man Li quickly said,when youre at the ninth refinement of the Golden body, the Golden body has been forged to the extreme. There are no more gaps or loopholes.

However, the ninth refinement golden body is just a saying. You should be clear about this.

Martial artists in the neo martial era could at most complete the sixth refinement of the Golden body.

It was not only the neo martial era, but it was the same in any era.

I didnt know much about it before, but now I guess that in the ancient martial arts era, martial artists who took the path of physical body could reach the seventh or even eighth refinement of the Golden body.

On the other hand, only a martial artist who has achieved 10000 DAOs as one can achieve the ninth refinement!

This is the origin of the Golden body ninth refinement!

Fang ping nodded slightly. Beside him, Guo shengquan did not know that Fang ping and the others had already cultivated a cultivation technique. Hearing that, he said,The fifth refinement of the Golden body is enough. If we continue to forge higher, firstly, we dont have that high a spiritual power to support it.

Second, the imperishable substance was difficult to recover. Forging a golden body once would consume a lot of imperishable substance.

Too much imperishable substance has been consumed, and we cant recover it quickly. If this continues, itll instead slow down our martial arts progress

In the ancient martial era, if there was enough mentality and imperishable substance, why couldnt everyone achieve the ninth refinement? Fang ping asked.

Old man Li shrugged.Its just a guess. Who knows what the situation was like during the ancient martial arts era? However, judging from the seniors body you brought back last time, he really doesnt have that many smithing opportunities.

The senior you brought back with you last time has a strong physical body. In my opinion, hes probably at the seventh refinement.

But hes already a rank-9, and a rank-9 is supposed to be stronger, so is his body. Hes only around the seventh refinement, which means hes at the sixth refinement at most when hes a rank-8.

Fang ping nodded slightly, then continued,A seventh-refined golden body should have a vitality limit of 110000 Cal, but a rank-9 martial artist has more than that.

Its related to the Dao of essence!

Guo shengquan explained,the function of the origin Dao is actually equivalent to an extra energy storage device. The ability to unleash powerful abilities, including those at the peak level, is all related to the origin Dao.

Even at the peak, there was a limit to the strength of ones physical body.

However, the reason why the apex was so powerful was because of the origin Dao. The origin Dao was not only an energy storage device, but also an amplifier.

A vitality outburst of 10000Cal at the Paragon level might be several times or even more powerful after being amplified by the origin Dao!

If you view your comprehension of the origin Dao as a magnified version, it will be much clearer.

Having a preliminary understanding of the origin Dao might increase your strength by 1.1 times. Your 100000 Cal vitality outburst, or 100c celestiality outburst, can reach 11000Cal or 110c after the amplification of the origin Dao.

The deeper ones comprehension of the origin Dao, the more powerful the amplified power will be. Do you understand what Im saying?

Fang ping instantly understood. He said in admiration,Mr. Guo, its a pity that youre not a teacher! To be honest, many people have explained to me about the path of origin, including department head Zhang. However, regarding the key, energy control, and the length of the path

To be honest, I dont really understand what youre saying.

But after hearing you say that, I immediately understood. So thats how it is, its too vivid!

Fang ping did not flatter him this time. Guo shengquan was indeed clearer than the others.

The path of origin could be seen as an amplifier for power!

Having comprehended a little of the origin Dao, he could amplify his strength by many times. Under the same blood Qi, he could unleash an even more powerful force.

And the deeper ones understanding of the origin Dao, the greater the amplification.

It was no wonder that rank-9s said that they had comprehended the origin Dao, but no one said that a rank-9 body was much stronger than a rank-8 s.

The difference between the two might not be big, but the difference between rank-8 and rank-9 was the expansion of power.

The absolute peak might be able to expand its power by ten times.

On the other hand, for non-paragons, no matter how deep their understanding of the origin Dao was, it might only be one or two times better.

When the difference in power was several times, or even dozens of times, the destructive power produced would be completely different.

Fang ping finally had a taste of how powerful a Paragon was this time.

Does walking out of the second path mean that my strength can continue to expand? Fang ping asked hurriedly.

Guo shengquan shook his head. Seeing Fang Pings disappointment, he smiled and said, Its not that I can t, its just that I dont understand. Were too far away from this realm. If we walk a second path, it might be like what you said.

Perhaps, it was another method, such as increasing his strength to a certain level.

Take us as a comparison. There are actually many types of powers that we control.

Vitality force, heaven and earth Force, destructive force

In fact, this power was an improvement in essence. It might be the same for the second Dao.

Of course, I trust your judgment more. Perhaps its been expanded again. Im afraid only those absolute nightmare realm experts know this.

As they spoke, the Golden Shadow in the air had completely solidified.

As soon as it solidified, the shadow instantly disappeared and collapsed.

Fang Pings expression was peculiar. Old man Li laughed and said,Success! After advancing to rank-8, elder Liu has mastered rank-8 power. His power is no longer overflowing. Without the support of power, his projection naturally dissipated.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu polus figure appeared in front of everyone.

Without communicating with the others, Liu polu looked at Fang ping, his eyes deep. 10 years ago, I completely gave up on the idea of advancing. I thought that I would be like this for the rest of my life, and that I might die in the catacombs as a rank-7.

A year and a half ago, old Yu died in battle in the catacombs. At that time, I felt that it was my turn.

Hes held on for 60 years, but he cant hold on any longer. In mcmau, Ive lived long enough. If someone else dies, it can only be me.

During the Nanjiang catacombs trip, I thought that I would definitely die. I did not expect that because of you, because of li Changsheng, I lived once.

That time, my skull was injured. I thought that since I didnt die, Id struggle on whilst at deaths door for a while longer. I promised old Yu that Id help him look after mcmau. I cant just die for nothing

But I didnt expect I really didnt expect that mcmau didnt fall into silence and decline as I imagined.

Before old Yu left, he told me that with his death, mcmau will need at least a few years to settle down. Well make plans after Wu kuishan breaks through rank-9

At this moment, this old man who usually didnt talk much had become talkative. The sigh in his tone was apparent.

Mcmau has not declined!

After the old Vice-Chancellor died in battle, not only did he not decline, but he also rose rapidly and grew stronger.

He had even destroyed Sky Gate City, his old enemy!

As he said that, Liu polu suddenly shouted,after we destroyed Sky Gate City, everyones slacking off! Because we have annihilated our greatest enemy and killed our mortal enemy, many people have even lost their target!

But the truth?

In fact, is Sky Gate City really our enemy?

They were just a blade!

A blade controlled by a human. Now, weve only shattered this blade, and we wont cause any harm to the enemy!

The true enemy was not Sky Gate City!

Today, many people thought that they had succeeded because they had shattered a blade, and they felt no pressure at all!

I was able to enter rank-8 quickly, which is the exact opposite of all of you. It was because I was under pressure, a lot, a lot of pressure. It was not because I was worried about being surpassed by the younger generation. In fact, I even hoped that everyone in mcmau could achieve the Golden body and achieve rank-9!

But now, were not that strong!

Even if one blade was shattered, the enemy still had countless more!

Many people dont even know what the catacombs mean.

Lets not talk about the others, but Im going to say it today. The catacombs were facing are just some Outlands. Do you know what Outlands mean?

The real catacombs were in the inner regions, in the depths of the catacombs!

The catacombs are divided into the inner and outer areas. The enemies weve encountered today are the outermost enemies, the weakest enemies, and the ones with the least future.

These people might have the strength of a rank-8 or rank-9, but they were all the weakest kind!

Almost all rank-8s were lower-stage.

Most rank-9s had yet to comprehend the origin Dao.

However, the true inner regions are not like that. The powerful Fang ping in your eyes only competed with martial artists of the same generation in the inner regions. Of course, he won!

However, this is not the true strength of the catacombs. The catacombs are very strong!

Fang ping and the others are afraid that youll be in despair. The ministers are afraid that youll be in despair, so theyve been keeping it a secret. Today, Im not afraid that youll be in despair. Im going to tell you!

Liu polu looked around and said sternly,Recently, Ive discovered many problems! As Sky Gate City had been destroyed, the school had sufficient resources. The new students no longer felt a sense of urgency. They no longer had the courage to draw their weapons and kill for a vitality pill!

However, these resources were also exchanged with the blood of countless people!

The Fang ping who is incomparably powerful in your eyes, the Fang ping who has entered the catacombs with incomparably huge gains, which of his trips into the catacombs did not have a narrow escape from death!

Did they really think that he went to the catacombs to snatch resources?

He had to act like nothing had happened, but there were some things that he had to let them know!

Several times, he almost died. His body collapsed, his five internal organs shattered, and his spiritual power collapsed. If it were someone else, he would have died countless times!

Vice-Chancellor Wu, who is so powerful in your eyes, almost died in the battle of Tiannan. If Fang ping had not saved him, he would have been completely crippled by now!

Lu fengrou, Tang Feng, and the rest, whos not fighting a bloody battle?

Even Guo shengquan and the other instructors who have just joined the school are fighting in the catacombs. A rank-8 against a rank-9. If youre not careful, youll die!

Fang ping was a little surprised. Old Liu was in closed-door cultivation, but he knew about this?

However, he didnt know if he should interrupt old Lius breakthrough.

Liu polu ignored him and shouted again,But you? Many of you participated in the battle of Heavens Gate and thought that youve also fought a bloody battle. But to others, whats this kind of battle?

A small victory, a citys victory, and youve all forgotten who you are!

Without pressure and motivation, many people felt that they were already geniuses once they reached the middle-ranks, and they had no opponents!

But ask Fang ping. As a rank-7, would he dare to say that he has no more opponents?

Your conditions are even better, and youre stronger than any martial artist in any period of the neo martial era. The school will provide you with resources almost for free, and the price of exchanging resources will drop again and again. Well take 10% of the fees and give you 90% for free!

Did resources come out of thin air?

Do the high-ranked martial artists in the school, including those from all walks of life, have the obligation to give you free resources?

Us high-ranked martial artists, including myself, including the young Fang ping and Li Hansong, who hasnt experienced countless life and death battles? you guys enjoy the benefits of war, but dont you think about where these benefits come from?

Ive been in the digestion period recently, and everyone has been in closed-door cultivation, so I dont want to say much.

However, it had been more than a month since the battle of Sky Gate City. Those in the middle-ranks who should have broken through had already broken through, let alone those in the lower ranks!

But these days, I see that there are fewer people going down to the catacombs. There are only a few of them!

Among the new students, there are rank-3 and even rank-4. Why has no one ever considered entering the catacombs?

You guys havent been there before. Could it be that someone was born to go to the catacombs?

When the rank-3 Fang ping went to the catacombs, because he was unwilling to leave the team, Tang Feng even scolded and scolded him in public. A rank-3 martial artist who doesnt act alone, doesnt kill people alone, and follows the team, is it embarrassing?

How embarrassing!

At that time, Fang ping wasnt as strong as all of you. Hes a genius too. If he can go, cant you?

Liu polu looked around and shouted,including some instructors, you should know very well how you got your middle-ranks! Recently, less than 100 out of nearly 1000 instructors have entered the catacombs. What are the others doing?

Youre counting on the school to distribute the mineral veins to you?

Who are you counting on?

Do you all only know how to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others labor?

Every time I sit in the crystal Pagoda to cultivate, I feel ashamed. Every time I absorb the energy of those mineral veins, I feel like Im committing a crime!

How old are you? If he had any descendants, his grandchildren would be older than Fang ping! Using the resources he gave to cultivate, to advance, and watching him go into the catacombs time and time again to risk his life, was it really necessary?

What can we give him?

Some cheers?

Some honor?

This is everyones reward?

Mcmau has become stronger, but I cant recognize it anymore! In the past, a group of rank-2 and 3 martial artists fought in the catacombs. Although life was tough and cultivation was slow, we were very satisfied.

Why?

Because were giving, and were taking what we deserve!

Today, everyone wants to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others labor. If this goes on, whats the use of mcmaus strength!

The moment I give you a little less, you will complain. I heard that there are actually people who are dissatisfied because they have to pay academic credits to enter the depths of the Kuangqu to cultivate?

Who gave you the right?

Liu polu sternly berated, his gaze sweeping over some people in the crowd, causing them to lower their heads and not dare to speak.

Im not here to let you guys enjoy life in mcmau! Martial arts universities are not for people to enjoy life! From today onwards, mcmaus middle-ranked martial artists must enter the catacombs at least once a month!

Not only do we have to enter the catacombs, but we also have to gain something. Whether its human heads or resources, both are considered gains!

A medal would do too!

If theres nothing, then dont come out. If you come out, youll find a better job. Mcmau cant afford to feed you!

I wouldnt dare to raise you!

For martial artists in the three lower ranks, all the resources consumed today must be returned after they reach the middle-ranks!

The loan system from before was now useless. Many people had borrowed credits without even considering returning them!

From today onwards, the loan system will be thoroughly investigated. All students and instructors who are late in paying will be pursued!

Not only will they be pursued, but if they dont return it after the deadline, theyll be forced to do so and blacklisted. From now on, they can forget about taking anything from mcmau!

Its not just mcmau, its the same for the entire society!

At this point, Liu polu looked at Fang ping and sighed. Youre in charge of mcmau and have brought earth-shaking changes to the school. Everyone has seen it, and no one can say anything.

But your thoughts are too beautiful, and your methods are too soft.

Not everyone would think of this. They would only think that they deserved the resources that you had exchanged your lives for!

Including me. Whatever I owe you before, Ill return it all to you after I achieve rank-8 this time!

If martial artists dont enter the catacombs to kill their enemies or to seize resources, are they supposed to spend their retirement on the surface?

After Liu polu finished speaking, he looked at Tang Feng, Lu fengrou, and the others who had just arrived and said,The debts you owe, you should pay them back early! Including Luo Yichuan and the rest of you. Divine weapons and mineral veins, do they belong to you?

In the past, he was weak and couldnt pay it back, so it wasnt much.

Now that he was rank-7, could he not afford it?

If you cant pay it back, then youll fight for it. Dont tell me that everyone wont live without Fang ping?

Liu polu took a deep breath and said,to put it bluntly, if anything happens to Fang ping and he dies in the catacombs, will mcmau fall apart? Not only mcmau, but the outside world as well!

Those who owe me money, pay them back as soon as possible!

It was not impossible for him to find a way to go there and kill people, demons, or even explore the forbidden Sea!

No, then lets go to Mount Yuhai In the past, they werent afraid of death, but now, were they all afraid of death?

Once they had the thought of being afraid of death, when the war broke out, would they still dare to continue fighting?

He was stronger than before, but he didnt dare to risk his life. What kind of logic was this?

If that was the case, why would they give you divine weapons and resources?

In the past, out of 10 rank-7s, 30 of them dared to fight in the catacombs!

And now?

Ive heard about the battle in the forbidden catacombs. A bunch of trash!

Under the situation where the same number of rank-7 and 8 martial artists were present, they could only hold the opponent back and could not defeat them quickly!

Department head Zhang and the others only wanted stability, stability If they really wanted stability, would they be as prosperous as the current neo martial era?

In recent years, there were more and more powerhouses. How did they come?

He killed his way out!

It didnt come from stability!

If you cant bear to sacrifice yourself, how can you fight until the end?

There are more and more martial artists in Sino nation nowadays, and the more there are, the more stable they are. In my opinion, these peak-level martial artists must have been carried away by the few victories!

At this time, not only should they not seek stability, but they should also fight!

The more they fought, the stronger they became!

While the catacombs have no intention of starting an all-out war with us now, we must fight to the end. They have waited for so many years. Will they change their strategy that has been going on for hundreds of years just because there have been more battles in the past two years and attack now?

Thats bullshit!

If they were so impatient, they wouldve launched a full-scale attack hundreds of years ago!

Liu polu said a lot in one breath. He looked around again and shouted,What are you still looking at! Pack up what needs to be packed and head to the catacombs! I, Liu polu, have been mcmaus honorary Vice-Chancellor for 30 years. This time, I have to make the decision. Does anyone have any objections?

Everyone was speechless.

Fang ping shrugged his shoulders. The old man had been an honorary Vice-Chancellor for decades. He would not have any objections if he flipped out once when he broke through to rank-8.

Besides It would be pretty good if he could collect the debt.

As for the problem of large-scale casualties in the catacombs Fang ping sighed in his heart. He actually felt that it was not bad to have fewer people die.

However, there were some things that Liu polu was right about.

The people who dared to risk their lives Didnt seem to be as many as before.

It was good that he wanted stability and felt that his strength would improve quickly in the future, but he really did not dare to fight as much as before.

This time around, the number of rank-7 and 8 martial artists in the Forbidden citys catacombs was even greater than the other side. Moreover, most of them were armed with divine weapons. If it were in the past, the human powerhouses would have defeated the other party long ago!

This time, it should not have been possible for us to not defeat the other side in 13 hours and provide support to the rank-9 powerhouses.

However, the victory of the war had made everyone forget this point.

This time, very few people died. However, this also meant that there were not many people who dared to fight.

If Fang ping had not gone that day, something big might have happened.

The reason why Zhang Tao dared to fight this battle was because he was confident that he could win. In fact, he had built on his previous Foundation. In the past, he could still win in such a comparison of strength.

But this time, he had almost lost!

Zhang Tao probably didnt even think about this. Forgetting about this caused Nan yunyue to almost fail in her breakthrough. Even Zhang Tao himself was surprised.

Liu polus breakthrough was supposed to be a joyous occasion.

If it was before, there would be a wave of congratulations.

Today, however, it was extremely quiet. There was not a single sound in mcmaus campus.

Fang ping felt a little helpless when he saw this.

The old man was going to correct the school spirit!

The key point Wait for me to make a breakthrough before you correct me!

Ive broken through to rank-8 this time. I dont know when Ill be able to reach rank-9 next time. It doesnt matter if the school spirit is corrected.

But Im close to rank-8 now!

Old Lius actions Sigh!

Fang ping sighed in his heart. What should I do now?

Do you want to break through?

After breaking through, would they face an awkward situation?

Why dont I try to break through somewhere else?

Not many people knew what Fang ping was thinking, but old man Li, who was beside him, knew.

Now, seeing Fang Pings dilemma, he laughed in his heart. Lets see how youre going to show off when elder Liu gets angry!

Elder Liu might not be the strongest in mcmau, but he had protected mcmau for 30 years and was not a native of mcmau. When such an old man stood up and spoke, Wu kuishan did not dare to refute.
