196: Qing Ye, please

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Many people coughed.

Because:

Chu Qing was too arrogant.

He actually asked what kind of thing that Martial Instructor was?

At this moment:

The Martial Instructor behind Chu Qing coughed and said loudly, "Everyone, Chu Qing encountered an ambush on his way here."

"He's in a slightly bad mood."

"Some people didn't want him to enter the Martial Academy."

"But, he fought through layers of encirclement and arrived."

"Since he's here, he should be given a chance."

"Otherwise, if word gets out, our Martial Academy's reputation won't be good either!"

As soon as these words came out, the Martial Instructors opposite fell silent.

Only the person who had pointed at Chu Qing sneered, "Being ambushed proves that his character is not good."

"Our Martial Academy doesn't want people with poor character."

"Also, he cursed at me!"

Some Martial Instructors nodded repeatedly.

Some Martial Instructors shook their heads.

At this moment, The Crowd all looked at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing smiled, staring at that Martial Instructor, not speaking, just standing quietly, motionless.

Some Martial Instructors frowned.

They wanted to wait for Chu Qing to retort.

As a result, Chu Qing was actually indifferent?

What to do next?

At this moment, an old woman sitting in the middle said, "Everyone, we are not discussing character now."

"They have all passed the assessment, but there are only four spots."

"According to the rules, let them take turns showcasing their abilities, and then everyone will score them."

"We will select the best!"

The Crowd nodded.

The old woman pointed at Han Qinhu and said, "Come, you start first."

Han Qinhu said with an imposing air, "My name is Han Qinhu, and I come from the Han Family of Hongye Zhou!"

"Since I was in my mother's womb, my mother ate various medicinal meals to nourish her body."

"At one year old, I received medicinal baths!"

"At three years old, Family experts massaged my tendons and bones and Flesh, and regulated my Five Viscera and Six Bowels."

"At six years old, I studied and learned the principles of martial arts."

"At twelve years old, I practiced the Solidifying Origin and Cultivating Essence Art."

"At fifteen, I officially began connecting my tendons."

"This year, I have Perfected Gold Tendons and connected fifty Golden Bone."

He rattled on, talking a lot about his identity and background.

The Crowd nodded frequently.

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

One by one, the Martial Instructors raised their hands.

In the end, everyone passed.

Han Qinhu smiled and cupped his fists in thanks.

A moment later, the others also introduced themselves in turn.

One passed.

Two passed.

Four passed.

Then... the old woman coughed and said:

"Alright, the four spots are enough."

"The remaining three can leave for now."

"It won't be too late to come back next month."

As soon as these words came out, another young man in brocade robes and Chu Qing frowned instantly.

Nangong was even more displeased and said, "Why aren't we allowed to introduce ourselves?"

"Perhaps our backgrounds are even greater than theirs."

Nangong mocked these Martial Instructors for only looking at backgrounds.

The Martial Instructors laughed.

The old woman glanced at her and said indifferently, "Nangong, you come from the Nangong Family of Prefecture City, but because of some matters, you have already broken ties with your Family; you cannot get any resources from your Family, and your future achievements are limited."

"Since your future is not promising, why care about the present?"

"Go back, find someone to marry, and be a good wife and mother. That's not bad either."

Nangong sneered, "I joined the Thousand Eyes Alliance, and I can get resources from the Thousand Eyes Alliance."

The old woman fell silent.

Another young man in brocade robes said, "My Family is not as good as Han Qinhu's, but it's not worse than theirs either."

"Why don't you want me?"

The old woman said coldly, "The Martial Dao consumes the most resources. What is your status in your Family? How many resources can you get?"

The young man in brocade robes fell silent.

Finally, The Crowd all looked at Chu Qing.

Han Qinhu even laughed, "What kind of background do you have? Can your background support your rapid progress in the Martial Academy? How many resources can it provide you?"

Chu Qing said in surprise, "I came to the Martial Academy precisely for resources."

"If the Martial Academy cannot provide me with Cultivation resources, why should I come to the Martial Academy?"

The Crowd... were astonished.

What Chu Qing said was not wrong; the Martial Academy itself was a huge resource pool.

Anyone who could enter it would receive more basic resources daily than they would from their Family.

If one's strength was strong enough and their methods powerful enough, then they would receive even more resources.

However:

If one truly only wanted to use Martial Academy resources to improve, that was absolutely impossible.

Because:

The internal competition within the Martial Academy was extremely fierce.

The various tasks and assessments of the Martial Academy all required Family support to complete.

Without a background, without Family support, one would quickly be lost among The Crowd in the Martial Academy.

At that time, let alone Martial Dao progress, just maintaining one's current level without regressing would be Heaven-Defying.

The old woman said coldly, "Chu Qing, in the spring of the Empire's 987th year, began martial arts, entered the Martial Academy in March, killed a Martial Instructor; then exterminated three Wu Fort Families."

"Later, he became deranged, massacred and burned a refugee camp, burning thousands of people to death."

"He also brutally killed thousands of commoners."

"His methods were so cruel, and his mind so vicious, that no one could match him."

"Later, he used bribery to win nine consecutive victories in the Shiji Prefecture Martial Academy exchange competition."

"A few days ago, passing through a Prosperous Land, he casually burned dozens of houses in the Prosperous Land and brutally killed hundreds of people."

"His despicable methods are truly chilling."

"The Martial Academy does not welcome a butcher like you."

As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions changed slightly.

Even Han Qinhu's gaze towards Chu Qing became extremely solemn.

Because;

Chu Qing's past achievements were too terrifying.

He would exterminate entire Families at every turn.

Killing thousands of people.

And he even killed without any reason.

This was... too brutal.

Chu Qing sighed.

This old hag was purely twisting facts and distorting the truth.

He deeply glanced at the old woman, then stopped speaking.

The old woman sneered, "Since you have nothing to say, then leave!"

Chu Qing sneered, "According to the rules, I can challenge one of them."

"I need a spot."

"Moreover, I must have a spot."

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Han Qinhu's expression changed slightly.

The old woman frowned, looking at a Martial Instructor.

This Martial Instructor was the one who had accompanied Chu Qing in; at this moment, he was smiling indifferently.

The old woman said coldly, "You were born bloodthirsty, killing like a butcher, and are not suitable for the Martial Academy."

"You are not allowed to challenge!"

Chu Qing frowned.

However, a Martial Instructor suddenly said, "Director Liu, the rules of the Martial Academy are paramount."

"Chu Qing has a recommendation letter from the Shiji County Academy Director and a recommendation letter from the Prefecture City Vice Dean."

"He is still a Martial Academy student and has passed the previous assessment."

"According to the rules, he has the right to challenge."

Another Martial Instructor said, "Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

One by one, the Martial Instructors spoke up in support of Chu Qing's challenge.

Chu Qing glanced around and found that nearly a third of the Martial Instructors supported him.

"It seems that there are also many contradictions within the Zhou City Martial Academy."

The old woman glared at those Martial Instructors with displeasure.

As a result, these Martial Instructors were not afraid and still supported Chu Qing's challenge.

The old woman sneered:

"Fine!"

"Then we'll follow the rules!"

After speaking, she looked at Chu Qing and said, "Who do you want to challenge?"

Chu Qing casually pointed at an unlucky person and said, "Him!"

That unlucky person looked miserable.

He didn't want to fight Chu Qing.

When he saw Chu Qing fighting Ye Zi, fighting for three minutes until Ye Zi was drenched in sweat, he knew he was no match for Chu Qing.

He looked at the old woman pleadingly.

The old woman's eyes were cold, ignoring him.

He then looked at the Martial Instructor he had bribed.

As a result, that Martial Instructor also turned his head away.

"Damn it, a bunch of bastards, when taking benefits, you thumped your chests loudly."

"Now that I'm in trouble, you all pretend not to see?"

At this moment, he looked at Chu Qing pleadingly and said, "Friend, can you challenge someone else?"

"My Family is about to decline. If I can't enter the Zhou City Martial Academy again, my Family will definitely be finished."

Chu Qing comforted him, saying, "It's alright, if you can't stay in Zhou City, you can go to Prefecture City."

"If that doesn't work, you can also go to the county town."

"Look, I came from the county town, starting from scratch, step by step to where I am now."

"You can emulate me!"

The unlucky person wanted to cry.

Nima, in the vast Zhou City Martial Academy, for decades, you are the only one who came from the county town.

The others, at the very least, came from large Families in Prefecture City.

If I fall to the county town, I'll be completely out of luck with the Zhou City Martial Academy for the rest of my life.

Emulate you?

I don't have that ability!

What to do?

The unlucky person's eyes darted around, and with a thud, he actually—knelt down in front of The Crowd.

"Master Qing, I beg you, change to someone else!"

The Crowd were dumbfounded.
