32: Chen Qing's "big plan"

Chen Qing ignored Fu Mingyu's extremely dark face; he just needed to wash it, and it would be white again.

He continued, "This battle of mine is just to start something! To lead the way for our first-year class, with several objectives."

"First, before I enrolled, I met a recruitment teacher from our school, Yan Zheng, and also Li Tianyang from Jiangnan Martial Arts University. They gave me the feeling that a Martial Artist either erupts in battle or perishes in silence!"

"Therefore, I don't want us to simply Cultivate in an orderly fashion according to the school's past routines, only to become nervous and experience high-intensity combat when we reach the Space Battlefield. The mortality rate would be too high! I've checked; the school's Top 100 ranking doesn't update frequently, which means many people won't challenge the stronger individuals ahead of them unless they are absolutely confident."

"But I hope that while we are in school, first-year students can put enough pressure on second-year students, and second-year students can pressure third-year students, and so on. This will make everyone active and tense, truly realizing that if they don't hone their combat skills, they will quickly be replaced by others! You also saw Wang He, that second-year student just now; in my opinion, he has no combat instincts whatsoever. Honestly, does the frontline really need such a Martial Artist? Must he wait until the day he goes to the Space Battlefield to hone his skills?"

Everyone was somewhat silent after his words. In fact, they all had similar thoughts to Chen Qing.

Although the outside world believes Jinling Martial Arts University is the leader among Martial Arts universities in terms of combat.

But since their arrival at Jinling Martial Arts University, they've found that this supposed leader isn't as active as imagined. Many people are afraid of this and that, just like Wang He, who even lacked the courage to step onto the stage and fight.

Seeing their silence, Chen Qing continued:

"Second, it's rare for first-year students to directly challenge students on the second-year Top 100 list. It seems everyone tacitly agrees that first-years can only be on the first-year list. But I insist on being on the second-year list. Aren't the second-year students ashamed? Won't the first-year students be more motivated not to disgrace the first-year class?"

"Since we are taking such a bold action, I think the school should reward us! At the very least, challenging shouldn't cost us academic credits, right? We're helping them motivate students; we don't ask for many credits as a reward, but at least they shouldn't charge extra credits, right?"

"Third, this is also my personal ambition. I truly want to establish my own power! In the Space Battlefield, the Human Race is at a disadvantage. If I am strong alone, I can only secure a corner for myself. But the Space Battlefield is vast and boundless, and there are so many small battlefields that need us to defend."

"I want to establish a power where everyone helps each other, shares information from various places, exchanges resources they need, and grows together!"

"Exchanging resources and information, the school can do that, right?" Fu Mingyu frowned.

"Can you always stay at school? The school can't possibly serve you alone, helping you obtain the information you want! I hope this power can expand in the future, until we have our people throughout the entire Universe!"

"Hiss~"

Everyone gasped. This guy's ambition was simply boundless!

Li Qingshan gasped three times. He considered himself very arrogant, but compared to this guy, every idea he spoke made Li Qingshan feel that he had been too modest and low-key in the past, only thinking of raiding the lairs of powerful Yao Beasts?

You're a first-stage Martial Artist, right? Don't lie to me! Are you some ancient old monster in disguise?

At this moment, in Li Qingshan's eyes, Chen Qing had merged with some old mountain monsters he had seen in TV shows.

White eyebrows and silver hair, long beard flowing, wearing coarse linen clothes, flip-flops, and a wine gourd at his waist.

"Chen Qing, are you sure these are all your own ideas, and not your teacher's instructions?" Tang Wu couldn't help but ask.

"Of course! You haven't met my teacher; he's a research fanatic. How could he think of such things?"

Everyone exchanged glances, somewhat dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

"Chen Qing, are you serious about everything you said?" A sudden, unfamiliar voice rang out.

A young man in a crisp Martial Dao uniform, with neat short hair and a somewhat expressionless face, appeared beside them.

"Li Cunxu?" Fu Mingyu asked in confusion. Why was this guy here?

This person was Li Cunxu, the other S-rank ability Martial Artist this year, besides Chen Qing.

"Mm, it's me. Someone called me over, saying Fu Mingyu wanted to challenge me, so I came over and have been looking for him, which led me here." He said with some embarrassment, his face cold, "Apologies, I heard everything you just said. It wasn't intentional."

Chen Qing didn't mind, smiling, "It's fine. It's not some secret. What I said just now was naturally serious!"

Of course, he couldn't say he just wanted to create a power to work for him, to provide him with the fastest information exchange System, right?

It just so happened that it coincided with the views he expressed, so he just listed them out.

Seeing that these few people were somewhat moved, Chen Qing nodded.

Martial Artists are indeed a bunch of single-minded individuals who are easy to fool. This is my greatest advantage as a Transmigrator. They aren't familiar with twists and turns, but I am.

Seeing them still hesitating, Chen Qing added fuel to the fire: "Um, I Cultivate very quickly, as you've seen. Actually, my teacher has researched some special methods for Martial Artist Cultivation. I will also try my best to get him to join later. If he allows it then, you can also share the research results."

At this, everyone was confused. Was there really such a good thing?

We can also learn your teacher's secret methods?

But Chen Qing indeed seemed to Cultivate quite quickly!

"I'll join!" The first to speak was actually Li Cunxu, who had arrived later!

Chen Qing was a little surprised, but he also gave him a thumbs-up in cooperation.

"Brother Li is righteous! Willing to seek change for humanity!"

A good young man. With this level of awareness, you will definitely be a fierce general by my side in the future!

"I already joined," Wang Xiaomin, the weakest among them, grumbled from the side.

"Then, I'll join too." Zhu Yulin was the third to speak.

Soon, everyone except Fu Mingyu and Li Qingshan, including the usually taciturn Tang Wu, nodded and joined.

"Lao Fu, you were my earliest and most trusted subordinate, fighting alongside me. The road ahead would be rather dull without you!" Chen Qing sighed.

Fu Mingyu's face darkened.

Damn it, he originally wanted to establish his own power and then trick this guy into joining, but he got intercepted.

But what this guy said was irrefutable. Didn't these few guys join after just a few words?

When a Martial Artist says they join, it's not a joke. Martial Artists are a group of firm believers.

As long as Chen Qing's power doesn't suffer a devastating blow, they basically won't leave easily.

So, did he still need to establish some damn power of his own?

If he established another one, where would he find such a high-potential core group?

Fu Mingyu scanned them. Oh, that damned Chen Qing had directly recruited all the most promising individuals of this year's class.

"J-join!" Fu Mingyu said somewhat reluctantly.
