33: Chapter 33 Fang Zhuo's Improvement; The Death of the Second Martial Arts College Student in History

"What's going on?"

Fang Zhuo looked at the chubby student who liked to slack off.

The chubby student panted as he said, "Coach Fang, the Municipal Martial Arts Hall has issued a notice. An alien powerhouse has infiltrated the country."

"Just a while ago, the opponent ambushed and killed Cao Yi in the provincial capital of Guangbei Province!"

"What?!"

The group of students standing in the stance all revealed shocked expressions and crowded around him.

"Cao Yi is dead?"

Fang Zhuo's pupils constricted slightly.

Cao Yi was known as the second-ever Martial Arts Junior College student in history. This wasn't just domestic hype for their own genius; he truly had the strength.

A Transcendent Martial Artist, with a Life Level above 40, was fundamentally different from the primary, intermediate, and advanced martial artists.

To put it simply, a Transcendent Martial Artist could live to be two hundred years old!

"It's absolutely true."

The chubby student was still panting heavily, his body trembling, "I... the notice from the Martial Arts Hall can't be fake."

The chubby student had taken advantage of going out to buy water to slack off and play on his phone. By now, it had already gone viral on social media.

Cao Yi's fame was very high, far higher than most Transcendent Martial Artists. Besides being a graduate of the Martial Arts Junior College, it was also due to his strength.

Among Transcendent Martial Artists, he rarely suffered a defeat.

"Has the killer been caught?"

Fang Zhuo's brows were tightly locked. To be able to kill Cao Yi, this alien martial artist's strength was definitely at the very top among Transcendent Martial Artists. If he started fleeing wildly, the danger to society would be immense.

Transcendent Martial Artists did not fear heavy firepower; their physical bodies were incredibly tough!

And within Jinhe City, the strongest martial artist was only a Transcendent Martial Artist.

"The... the experts in the province are still in pursuit."

The chubby student stammered, "That alien martial artist is fleeing in the direction of our Jinhe City...!"

"Still in pursuit?"

Everyone was shocked again. And he was fleeing towards Jinhe City...!

"Everyone, stay in the Martial Arts Hall for now and wait for the city's notification."

Fang Zhuo instructed his students. He had no heart to continue the class, so he picked up his phone and quickly finished reading the notice from the Martial Arts Hall.

This alien powerhouse was named Gu Ming, thirty-six years old, Life Level 49, a Transcendent Martial Artist, with Body Control having reached the limit of Inner Sight.

His combat power rating was Transcendent Peak.

"He's been fighting on Origin Star for the past three years?"

"Why did he suddenly come to Blue Star to ambush and kill Cao Yi?"

Fang Zhuo's brows were locked tight as he muttered to himself.

"Okay, Coach Fang. If the alarm doesn't clear for a day, do we just stay in the Martial Arts Hall the whole time? I didn't bring a change of clothes..."

A young girl glanced at her clothes soaked with sweat.

"Idiot!"

"Is your life not important? You're still worried about hygiene?"

In the crowd, a social martial artist couldn't help but scold.

"Don't worry too much. A Transcendent Peak martial artist is very strong, but if he dares to ambush and kill within the territory of the Xia Kingdom, he won't be able to escape for long. I believe there are already Flying Martial Artists stepping in."

Fang Zhuo was still relatively calm and comforted the anxious students.

The chubby student suddenly said weakly, "Coach Fang, I heard on the internet that this alien powerhouse Gu Ming has declared that he will continue to kill geniuses in the Xia Kingdom."

"You're considered a genius too, will he..."

Halfway through, the chubby student was glared at by the surrounding students and didn't dare to continue.

"..."

Fang Zhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Is this alien martial artist a lunatic?

To be honest, he wasn't too worried. Does he really think the country is some kind of lawless zone?

Transcendent Martial Artists are strong, but they can't run rampant in the Xia Kingdom!

If a martial artist kills without reason, they have to pay with their life, let alone an alien martial artist.

However, with this news out, Fang Zhuo's state of mind still fluctuated somewhat.

"Who did you hear that from? Why would Gu Ming want to kill our Xia Kingdom's geniuses?"

"A Transcendent Martial Artist website. I used my uncle's account, so the news shouldn't be wrong. I heard it's for a breakthrough."

The chubby student shrank his small neck.

"A breakthrough?"

Fang Zhuo was puzzled, "Does this have a connection to killing geniuses?"

"...I don't know about that. The powerhouses on the website didn't elaborate."

The chubby student spread his hands.

"Alright, everyone arrange your own time. Try to conserve your energy. Remember, do not leave the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall until the alarm is lifted."

Fang Zhuo instructed again, then his expression darkened slightly as he returned to his lounge.

The air raid siren was still wailing; the shrill sound made people panic.

...

In the lounge.

Fang Zhuo dialed Bai Shiwei's number.

"Beep~~~"

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable~"

"Still cultivating?"

Fang Zhuo left a message for Bai Shiwei, telling her to stay at home and not go out. After putting down his phone, he still felt a little uneasy, even though he believed the country's powerhouses would definitely kill Gu Ming immediately.

But in such matters, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Especially since Jinhe City had issued a Level 2 alert, which suggested that the official pursuit of Gu Ming was not a sure thing?

"This lunatic. Guangbei Province is so big; he could have fled anywhere else, but he had to come to Jinhe City!"

Fang Zhuo cursed secretly. But upon closer thought, it was actually understandable. Jinhe City was considered a relatively weak city in terms of martial arts within the province. There were no Flying Martial Artists in the city, not even a peak Transcendent Martial Artist, and it was close to the provincial capital.

Fleeing here would result in much less pressure from being caught in a pincer attack.

Fang Zhuo shook his head, cleared his chaotic thoughts, entered the state of five hearts facing the sky, and silently observed his Martial Aspect with visualization.

[Person in Aspect: Fang Zhuo]

[Life Level: 24 (Intermediate Martial Artist)]

[Mental Power: Level 29]

[Body Control: Micro-Perception Minor Success (Combat Power Multiplier 4x)]

[Martial Aspect: Red Flame (Upper Rank)]

[Innate Divine Ability 1: Purification]

[Innate Divine Ability 2: Devour]

[Innate Divine Ability 3: Unknown]

Over the past week, Fang Zhuo had optimized his "pill-popping" cultivation plan. He didn't swallow the four sun-moon pills consecutively like he did with the spirit-nourishing pills before, but instead took them at twenty-four-hour intervals.

Before each dose, he would first activate his physical body with stance training to wake it up and put it in a 'hungry' state.

After trying it out, he found that the effect was indeed better.

"Innate Divine Ability 2 'Devour' is great for absorbing 100% of the medicinal power, but once the medicinal power is in the body, how much my cells can absorb and how much my body can improve is also affected by my physical state."

"The more 'hungry' and active the physical body is, the better the medicinal effect, and the greater the improvement!"

Of the four sun-moon pills, the first one helped Fang Zhuo rise by more than one level, and after taking the subsequent three, he improved by a total of about two levels.

This allowed Fang Zhuo to increase his Life Level from 21 to 24 within a week!

His base punch force increased from 2600kg to 4400kg!

His physical body officially caught up to Bai Shiwei.

"In the future... even without relying on the power advantage of Body Micro-Control, I will be able to firmly suppress Shi Wei." Fang Zhuo couldn't help but smile at this thought.

Just then, a familiar light screen appeared.

[Wife Bai Shiwei consumed one sun-moon pill. Bai Shiwei's current Life Level is Intermediate Martial Artist, return coefficient is 4, returning sun-moon pill * 4.]

"She really is cultivating!"

Fang Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

When he got up to get the phone on the table, the phone rang first.

"Shi Wei? Don't go out while you're at home. Um, I'm at work at the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall, and I won't be going home for now. Just wait, wait for the alert to be lifted."

On the other end of the line, Bai Shiwei bit her lip, her expression slightly uneasy, but she comforted him:

"Okay, you don't need to worry too much. The Provincial Martial Arts Hall has dispatched Flying Martial Artists; Gu Ming absolutely cannot escape."

Unknowingly, Bai Shiwei and Fang Zhuo talked for over an hour.

After putting down the phone, Fang Zhuo realized they had talked for so long. Is this what they call a phone marathon...?
