Chapter 49 First Meeting with Huang Jing
After buying some daily necessities with Fu Changding, the three of them went to the cafeteria for a meal.
While eating, the three of them shared some strange and unusual stories they had encountered. Fu Changding, in particular, was a real chatterbox. Fang Ping and Lu Hao were alright, they would only say a few words and then stop.
Fu Changding went on and on, complaining and revealing all sorts of information. However, compared to Lu Hao and Fang Ping, who were novices who didn't know much about the situation at Magic Martial Arts University, Fu Changding had gathered a lot of information, so he came prepared.
……
At 2:30 p.m., Lu Hao was packing up. He put all the pills he had brought into his storage space, while the Great Ring Blade was left in his room.
After all, it would be too conspicuous to use it as a weapon; it's better to carry a weapon with you at all times.
Dong dong dong
There was a knock at the door. Lu Hao opened it and saw Fu Changding standing there.
"Let's go, Lu Hao, we should go to the meeting point. After all, it's our first time there, and we need to make a good impression on the mentors."
Lu Hao nodded, tidied himself up, and then followed Fu Changding to the No. 1 playground.
Arriving at Fang Ping's door, they woke him up, and the three of them walked together toward the No. 1 playground.
Before long, we arrived at playground number 1. Freshmen had already arrived, and the audience seats were also quite full, including upperclassmen and professors.
"Fu Changding, do we really have to show ourselves off in front of so many people later?"
Fang Ping, standing to the side, noticed that there were quite a few people in the audience watching the spectacle. He thought that if things went according to Fu Changding's plan, it would definitely be a public spectacle that would lead to their deaths in front of everyone.
"Fang Ping, what's wrong? Feeling ashamed? Martial artists must compete. If we don't show ourselves now, how can we get the instructor's attention? You don't have any background. This is the only way to get the instructor's notice. Do you want to be chosen as a fifth-rank instructor?"
Seeing that Fang Ping was having second thoughts, Fu Changding said...
"Fine, I'll do it. So what if it's embarrassing? As long as I can choose a Grandmaster as my mentor, I'll accept the embarrassment."
Fang Ping, realizing he had no connections, no longer cared about such things and prepared to make a big score with Fu Changding.
"Lu Hao, what do you think? If you join us, our plan will be even more successful."
Seeing that Fang Ping had made up his mind, Fu Changding began to persuade Lu Hao.
"I'll pass on to those grandmaster mentors; they all know me, barring any unforeseen circumstances."
"Oh? Lu Hao, does someone in your family work as an instructor at Magic Martial Arts University? Or does your family have a powerful background?"
"No, it's just that I'm a little special."
"What's so special about it? I don't see anything wrong with it."
Nothing special, just that I had just killed a fourth-rank evil cult martial artist, Lu Hao thought to himself.
Fu Changding could tell that Lu Hao was indeed not interested in this, so he stopped talking about it and changed the subject.
"Lu Hao, Fang Ping, it seems like there are very few girls in our year."
Following Fu Changding's gaze, Lu Hao and Fang Ping looked over and indeed, just as Fu Changding had said, there were hardly any fresh girls on the entire playground.
"Hey, where do those girls live? I haven't seen them anywhere."
Fang Ping asked.
"Didn't you see? There are several girls in Zone 1. Wuhan University doesn't separate male and female dormitories. They're all martial artists, and sometimes we might have to go on missions together, so it'll be a mixed-gender team."
Fu Changding said.
"When we went downstairs just now, there was a girl next to us, didn't you notice?"
"...I really didn't see any. Those girls' features were too faint."
Fang Ping remained silent.
"Don't say that to those girls. If they hear you, you'll get a beating. You know, I saw several girls in the first ten rooms."
As the three chatted, more and more people gradually arrived at the playground.
……
It was three o'clock in the blink of an eye when a middle-aged man stood on the platform and suddenly shouted...
"Line up"
There were no teachers or students on the playground to guide them, but Lu Hao and his two companions obediently stood in a line, and the others also lined up in twos and threes.
"Lu Hao, this teacher doesn't seem easy to get along with," Fu Changding muttered under his breath.
"Yeah..." Fang Ping added.
"Keep quiet"
Lu Hao said that although he did not recognize the person on the stage, he was undoubtedly a grandmaster. A grandmaster's spiritual power could hear what everyone was saying and doing.
Before long, the uneven queue stood up, but the conversations within the queue continued.
Three minutes later.
The middle-aged man shouted again.
"The assembly time has arrived. Anyone who is late or fails to join the queue will have 20 credits deducted!"
"Seal the gate!"
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, several students dressed in martial arts uniforms sealed off the gate to the playground.
Some students outside the queue heard this and, although they didn't know the purpose of the credits, they still ran towards the queue.
Just then, the middle-aged man on the stage shouted again, "Stand still!"
Accompanying the rebuke was a suffocating pressure of blood and qi, and a terrifying killing intent spread within, though the killing intent did not erupt.
Everyone was immediately stunned into standing still, too afraid to move.
Fang Ping was secretly shocked, wondering, "What kind of strength is this?" He was able to intimidate thousands of martial artists at once, and he looked at Lu Hao in surprise.
Almost everyone present was shaken by this aura and began to tremble, but Lu Hao remained motionless, as if he were unaffected.
Meanwhile, Fu Changding also noticed Lu Hao, this "normal person" under the pressure of qi and blood. He knew far more than Fang Ping, who had no background whatsoever. His own grandfather was a sixth-rank martial artist.
Therefore, he knew the power of a sixth-rank martial artist. In Fu Changding's eyes, the middle-aged martial artist on the stage was definitely a grandmaster, yet Lu Hao was completely unaffected by the pressure of a grandmaster's qi and blood.
How exactly did Lu Hao manage to do that?
Just as Fang Ping had expected, Lu Hao was not intimidated at all. However, Lu Hao did not protect himself by resisting the qi and blood, since he could not withstand the qi and blood of a grandmaster.
The biggest reason that intimidated them was not the terrifying aura, but the trace of killing intent contained within it, which made these martial artists who had never seen blood instinctively afraid.
Lu Hao had killed quite a few martial artists, so he also possessed considerable killing intent within him. However, he had concealed it all, so this trace of killing intent had no effect on him whatsoever.
"Hello students, let me introduce myself. My name is Huang Jing, and I am the Dean of the Weaponry Academy!"
The middle-aged man spoke without a loudspeaker or microphone, yet his words seemed to be spoken right in everyone's ears.
"The principal is not at school, and both vice-principals have important matters to attend to, so I will be presiding over the freshman ceremony today!"
This is Huang Jing.
Lu Hao looked at the middle-aged man on the stage. In the original story, Huang Jing died in the Demon Martial Cave while resisting the cave warriors. He dedicated his life to the public good and to humanity.
