38: Chen Qing's opposite-sex friendship model

"Damn it! This guy actually won! He just arrived and already made it onto the sophomore ranking list?" Fu Mingyu felt a bit numb.

He remembered that on the day he arrived, he had boasted about wanting to defeat the sophomores, but he was indeed thrashed by someone named Liu Weiren.

Having watched today, Liu Weiren is ranked 85th on the top 100 list, far inferior to this Zhou Yaoguo, which is obvious at a glance.

He had just managed to get stronger recently and was preparing to seek revenge on Liu Weiren, but this guy stole his thunder!

But this kid is too strong, isn't he?

He had been deceiving him all this time!

Damn it!

"Of course he made it, and he's not at the bottom either. Although he's only replaced Zhou Yaoguo's ranking for now, placing 81st, it's clear his true ranking could at least enter the top 50! Besides those second-rankers, among the first-rankers, no one should be his opponent!" Zhu Yulin commented.

"And he should be able to beat you very easily!" He looked at Fu Mingyu with a chuckle.

Fu Mingyu's Face darkened. What does "beat me very easily" mean?

So many people are here; don't I have any Face?

I have trump cards too, okay?

Li Cunxu, however, had bright eyes and showed no loss of fighting spirit. He looked at Chen Qing, who had already jumped off the arena, and said, "You are very strong! But I will not lose to you!"

After speaking, he, with a long sword on his back, leaped onto the arena.

"Freshman Li Cunxu challenges the sophomores in the bottom ten of the top 100 list. Is anyone present?"

..."Again? Is this Li Cunxu, the freshman ranked first? Another S-rank Genius?"

"Damn it, this batch of freshmen is really crazy. One isn't enough; two troublemakers showed up in one day!"

"This is the rhythm of going against the sophomores!"

"Oh, there's a good show to watch! I think this batch of sophomores is going to have a rough time! If they perform too poorly, the university might cut their resources!"

"Hehe, what does that have to do with us? We're juniors; surely the sophomores wouldn't dare to challenge us?"

..."This guy! Stealing my thunder again! I haven't even gone up yet?" Fu Mingyu looked distressed, really wanting Li Cunxu to come down first so he could go up!

"Why are you so impatient? There's plenty of time; we'll go one by one. You should think more about whether you can win later! Don't be the first freshman to be beaten down!" Zhao Yuanyue looked at him disdainfully.

Beside them, Mu Linxi, acting as a temporary referee, came over to Chen Qing with a smile, looking at his suspended left arm and asking, "Can you still move it?"

Chen Qing quickly greeted her; this was the Dean of the Wood Department, so he dared not be negligent.

"Dean Mu, I can barely move it, but it will take at least a few days of recovery to heal."

A Martial Artist's body is very resilient; if combined with healing Medicinal Pills, recovery is quick.

Mu Linxi looked at this sensible child and shook her head helplessly.

She placed one hand on his suspended left arm, and a warm, greenish-blue current surged from her hand.

This green warm current instantly permeated Chen Qing's left arm, and the fractured bones, enveloped by this power, miraculously healed rapidly!

In just a moment, his left arm was completely healed, the two blood holes gone, with no difference from before the injury.

Chen Qing moved his left arm and immediately thanked her.

"No need to thank me. I can only help you heal your fractured arm for free. As for your other injuries, you still need to pay for your own treatment. The academy has no rule that says a student's injuries are paid for by the teacher."

Mu Linxi's smile was gentle and comforting, like a willow tree.

Jinling is a Martial Arts University after all; how can a Martial Artist not get injured?

If you get injured, you are naturally responsible for it; there is no talk of personal favors in this regard.

Even if Chen Qing's teacher, Yang Chen, were here, as long as Chen Qing wasn't beaten to death, if you got injured because of your own actions, the teacher naturally wouldn't be fully responsible.

Just like Wang He, who was beaten like a dead dog today, don't think that the referee present said it was his responsibility.

But the referee is only responsible for saving his life; for subsequent healing, he won't pay a single cent.

Mu Linxi's decision to treat Chen Qing's arm was partly due to her kind nature and partly because she thought highly of this young man.

Chen Qing also understood the reasoning and naturally wouldn't ask for more, only saying:

"Dean Mu, I heard my teacher mention you, saying you are the most beautiful woman at our Jinling Martial Arts University. Seeing you today, I realize my teacher was still being modest!"

What kind of person is Chen Qing? He's a workhorse who experienced the struggles of society in his previous life!

Of course, he knows how to speak appropriately to people!

Mu Linxi chuckled, "Chen Qing, your teacher is a blockhead, only focused on research. How could he possibly talk about me?"

She wasn't unfamiliar with Yang Chen; besides some research and university meetings, they hardly ever met. How could he possibly mention her?

This kid actually has a clever mind.

That's good too; if he were just a martial arts fanatic, he would be more prone to trouble on the battlefield later.

After chatting for a few moments, Mu Linxi left.

Having watched Chen Qing's match, her purpose for this trip had been achieved, so she naturally wasn't interested in continuing to watch the students' sparring.

"Old Chen, I wasn't entirely convinced that you should be the leader of this faction, but now I am!" Fu Mingyu said, approaching after Mu Linxi left.

"Why?"

"Awesome! Others, when they see someone of the Dean's level, are all timid and dare not speak. But you're amazing! The first time you met Dean Mu, you actually dared to tease her about being the most beautiful woman at Jinling Martial Arts University! Awesome, you're truly awesome!"

Chen Qing was puzzled, "Is there a problem? Don't women all like it when people praise their beauty? Dean Mu doesn't look like a man, does she?"

Fu Mingyu shook his head, "Oh, have you never had a girlfriend? Is that how you praise people? Well, with your way of praising, you really shouldn't have a girlfriend!"

Chen Qing's Face showed a strange expression. What does this have to do with having a girlfriend or not?

You young folks, have you experienced as much society as I have?

Beside them, Zhao Yuanyue couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Chen Qing, are you genuinely ignorant or just pretending? When you meet someone for the first time and immediately praise their beauty, any woman will think you're a playboy! If you say that to every woman, no one will take your words seriously!"

"And your tone is clearly teasing! That's a Dean, and you actually called her the most beautiful woman! Big brother, praising like that is very hypocritical, okay?"

Wang Xiaomin rarely agreed with Zhao Yuanyue, nodding her head. She also thought Chen Qing spoke without thinking.

A bit silly!

Chen Qing looked at the two girls' somewhat exasperated expressions, then turned to look at Li Qingshan and Tang Wu, who were watching the show. They all smiled without speaking.

Li Qingshan waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me! Whether you've had a girlfriend or not, I certainly haven't! Women are like floods and fierce beasts; they'll drain your vitality! If I had a girlfriend, how could I Cultivate?"

The two girls then turned to him again, glaring at the scoundrel.

Hateful!

Don't you know there are still girls present?

It's impossible to drain either of you two!
