Chapter 53: Hot Potato

Crunch.

Li Changkong closed his mouth.

But he still couldn't believe it, staring at Fang Che up and down several times.

I just saw someone who is almost guaranteed to make it onto the Cloud Weaponry List in the future!

After finally closing his mouth, Li Changkong's eyes still flickered with a dreamy light.

After testing Fang Che's cultivation, he was even more astonished: "Weren't you the one who just broke through to the fifth tier on the arena that day?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you already at the peak of the fifth tier now?"

Fang Che really wanted to answer that his master had given him too many heavenly treasures and earthly treasures, and he had consumed them all.

"I don't know why myself..."

After completing the registration and converting Fang Che's original monster hunting point card into a Baiyun Martial Academy credit card, Li Changkong sighed.

He wanted to say something but hesitated.

Fang Che activated the credit card and checked it, displaying his name and one hundred and ten credits.

From this moment on, at Baiyun Martial Academy, any expenses, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, elixirs, and manuals, could be paid with this card!

This card can meet any need.

"There are traces of consuming elixirs in your body. From now on, before you break through to the innate grandmaster level, you are not allowed to consume any elixirs or heavenly treasures that aid aggressive cultivation."

"Yes."

"I will find a way to remove the traces of elixirs from your body, making it pristine. When building your foundation, you must not be hasty! Fortunately, you've consumed little. If it were more, the accumulation of elixir toxins could hinder your future progress."

"Yes." Fang Che naturally knew this drawback, but before this, he had no choice.

He had planned to recuperate after arriving at Baiyun Martial Academy, and since Li Changkong had discovered it, it was even better.

Next, Li Changkong paused for a moment and asked, "Fang Che, why do you want to seize the Su family's property?"

"Seize?"

Fang Che smiled and said, "Instructor Li, back in the day, you knocked on widows' doors and dug up solitary graves. Over the years, you took bribes from students and made quite a bit, didn't you?"

Li Changkong was furious.

I never did those things!

But Li Changkong did not erupt.

He understood Fang Che's intention in saying that.

Li Changkong was silent for a moment, then scolded, "Sharp-tongued."

Fang Che smiled, "My brother Su is still alive."

"Get out!"

"Got it!"

Fang Che went out.

He clearly felt that Li Changkong's attitude had changed a lot.

But the helpless look in his eyes had also deepened.

The class evaluation and assessment were completed.

The four instructors gathered together.

"On my side, five top-grade A, six mid-grade A, eleven A, and three top-grade B."

"Six top-grade A, six mid-grade A, nine A, and four top-grade B."

"Eight top-grade A, one innate ice spirit body, five mid-grade A, ten A, and one top-grade B."

After the three had finished, they looked at Li Changkong.

"This batch of students is much better in aptitude than the last batch."

Everyone nodded at this point.

Aptitude was right there, which was the most convincing factor.

"What about you, boss?"

"I have five top-grade A, seven mid-grade A, ten A, and one top-grade B..."

Li Changkong seemed somewhat absent-minded.

The other three looked at each other, counting, "Hey, this isn't right, we're still missing two people?"

"The two missing are Mo Ganyun, reputed to be of top-grade heaven level, with innate clear meridians. His limbs possess unparalleled blades, and his innate meridians are thick and resilient. Moreover, his tendons and veins are naturally formed, meaning he can easily master any weapon; once he reaches a certain level of cultivation, he could be an invincible warrior on the battlefield."

While saying this, Li Changkong should have been jubilant and animated. However, his actual mood was somewhat listless and absent-minded.

"Damn!"

The other three were immediately shocked, then delighted.

They had only encountered such geniuses five times in all their years of teaching. And those five couldn't compare to Mo Ganyun in terms of potential.

Because Mo Ganyun had the entire Mo family as his backing!

He had endless high-grade or supreme cultivation resources.

And Mo Ganyun was just laying his foundation now—or rather, the Mo family had been laying the foundation for him since his mother was pregnant.

In every aspect, they ensured the best supplies.

They made sure that the child had specialized nurturing for his spiritual sense, body, meridians, tendons, bones, and even limb coordination.

This foundational building would continue from pregnancy until he cultivated to an innate grandmaster.

This was the essence of a prestigious family.

It was filled with absolute unfairness—for instance, the total expenses and cultivation consumption of an ordinary family's child from birth to becoming a master couldn't compare to the cost of a bowl of porridge for a child from such a prestigious family during pregnancy!

The reason Mo Ganyun's current rank doesn't seem high is intentional: steady progress! Solidifying the foundation!

Perfectly laying the groundwork for a future skyscraper!

This is the difference between geniuses.

In the early stages of cultivation, some children indeed advance quickly, even faster than children from prestigious families. But many of these children, upon reaching a certain high level, suddenly hit a bottleneck and come to a halt.

The reason is simple: their foundation is exhausted.

But the geniuses from prestigious families maintain a steady pace, ascending to high levels with a composed demeanor.

Here's an analogy: During school, countless children from ordinary families excel. But once school ends, their development in society pales compared to the children of high-ranking officials and wealthy families. This is the essence!

Is it unfair?

Is it fair?

Thus, the three instructors instantly recognized Mo Ganyun's immense future potential!

"Potential to reach the Cloud Weaponry List!"

Bao Feiyu softly spoke these words.

The others all silently nodded.

Though they couldn't be certain, as long as Mo Ganyun doesn't die young, he should definitely make it to the top hundred of the Cloud Weaponry List in the future.

The three were deeply shaken.

When they looked at Li Changkong again, they found that he still had a distracted expression, as if his mind was wandering in the clouds.

There was no trace of surprise or shock on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Bing Shangxue frowned and asked, "… Right, what about the other one?"

Everyone immediately reacted.

Yes, what about the other one?

So far, they had only talked about Mo Ganyun.

What about the other one?

"The other one..."

Li Changkong's eyes were full of shock as he said, "It is Fang Che."

"Yes, the first place in this new student competition." Bing Shangxue nodded, "How is he?"

Li Changkong swallowed hard, "I don't know what grade his aptitude is."

"Eh?" The three frowned in confusion.

"Because his aptitude broke through the upper limit of the twelve-layer Fish Dragon Tower, and exceeded it by a lot!"

Li Changkong's lips were a bit dry, "You should understand what this means!"

"..."

The three of them simultaneously opened their mouths in silence.

In the quiet space, they could only hear their hearts pounding!

Very intensely!

Just with Mo Ganyun, it was already hard for them to bear.

Because this was an opportunity to make a mark in history.

As their disciples rose to prominence, the instructors themselves would inevitably be remembered in history!

And now you tell me, there is someone even more formidable than Mo Ganyun.

And that person is Fang Che!

"In simple terms, whether we four will be remembered in history with honor or disgrace depends on these two students!"

Li Changkong chuckled bitterly, "But whether it's with honor or eternal infamy, we are destined to enter history. Gentlemen!"

The three of them also smiled bitterly.

Their expressions were extremely complex.

"No wonder the academy directly appointed the four of us..."

Duan Zhongliu smiled wryly.

The four of them were top-notch instructors, and for many years at Baiyun Martial Academy, their teaching level was unmatched. The students who graduated under their guidance all went on to excel and stand out among their peers!

They were unquestionably the top tier, the pinnacle among instructors.

Li Changkong slowly said, "You are all aware of Fang Che's past deeds, you've all seen and should still remember them. So you should understand what I mean."

"Yes."

Bing Shangxue, a woman with a delicate face, showed a worried expression.

"Fang Che's actions in Bibo City, including silently crippling his own guardian martial artist to the point of disability, designing to seize the Su family's property, wiping out the entire Su family, and still managing to gain the reputation of 'righteous and chivalrous Master Fang'... In all these events, the public opinion rising in Bibo City, and the ruthless arrangements to achieve his goals..."

"All these things have a strong sense of demonic path influence."

"We even suspect that Fang Che might already be someone from the demonic path."

"Moreover, the mysterious disappearance of the Su family's main forces—I suspect it is related to Fang Che. After all, intelligence shows that during the days the Su family went missing, Fang Che went out alone and stayed out for three days."

"At that time, Fang Che was just a nobody; no one paid attention to where he went. When he returned, he was dragging a deer."

"And a few days later, the news of the Su family's collective disappearance came out."

"And intelligence shows that the night the Su family's main forces left was the same night Fang Che went out."

Bing Shangxue frowned slightly, "Boss, this is a hot potato."

"If Fang Che is innocent, we can confidently guide him on the right path, and he will surely achieve great things in the future. But if Fang Che has issues, then we are essentially using Baiyun Martial Academy's resources to fully cultivate a future formidable enemy! And an enemy who has the potential to reach the level of Old Duan's family. This isn't just about infamy; it's about digging a grave for the entire continent!"

Old Duan's family.

Naturally, it refers to the White Bone Dream Shattering Spear, Duan Xiyang.

The three simultaneously frowned.

Bing Shangxue was completely right.

This is the current situation.

"What do you think, boss?"

Duan Zhongliu asked.
