Chapter 952: Summoned by the Higher-Ups
That evening, upon returning to his residence, Fang Bai received ten thousand Essence Stones and over a hundred elixirs sent by Huang Miao.Fang Bai was in urgent need of cultivation resources and therefore did not stand on ceremony, accepting them all.
Starting from the next day, just as Huang Miao had predicted, Hou Ziping and Fang Bai, having made a name for themselves with one battle, received numerous challenges from Inner Court disciples.
In response to the challenges directed at him, Fang Bai didn’t outright refuse them, but declared, "If you want to challenge me, defeat Hou Ziping first." Consequently, those Inner Court disciples looking to challenge Fang Bai turned their challenge notices over to Hou Ziping.
This proved troublesome for Hou Ziping. As a disciple of Bitao Martial Academy, he had no choice but to accept challenges from his fellow sect members, unless he was willing to admit he was a "turtle shrinking its head in fear."
As a result, for a considerable period that followed, Hou Ziping faced several challenges almost daily, which greatly reduced his time for cultivation.
However, on the day his injuries healed, Hou Ziping had listened to Fang Bai expound upon numerous Martial Dao Arcanes. At the time, he hadn’t fully understood or integrated them, but during the relentless succession of challenges, he validated each concept he had learned from Fang Bai, leading to numerous insights and a subsequent step forward in his power.
Hou Ziping was overjoyed by this realization, understanding that continuous battle was also a form of cultivation.hin; both of them Desolate Level high ranking
and vice-headmasters of the Bitao Martial Academy.
On the east and west sides of Lingtian Hall,
were seated Bitao Martial Academy’s four elders and eight stewards,
whose cultivation levels were middle-stage Desolate Level,
and initial-stage Desolate Level respectively.
One headmaster, two vice-headmasters, four elders, and eight stewards —
these fifteen Desolate Level martial artists constituted the higher echelons of Bitao Martial Academy,
forming its most core power.
They had all gathered in Lingtian Hall today to meet Fang Bai,
the disciple with dual innate attributes.
Seeing Fang Bai’s exceptional calmness and lack of any sign of nervousness,
Ren Jingbo and the others marvelled,
Although these individuals had not released their martial artist aura to pressure Fang Bai,
it was beyond their expectations to see a disciple, who had just entered the martial academy,
remain so composed in the presence of such mighty figures.
However, upon considering Fang Bai’s heaven-defying talent,
they understood and thought to themselves that,
perhaps, this is what distinguishes a martial dao prodigy from the rest.
"Fang Bai, you’ve been in Bitao Martial Academy for over a month now,
how do you find it here?" Ren Jingbo watched Fang Bai for a while before asking with a smile.
Fang Bai replied, "It’s alright."
Ren Jingbo nodded his head, saying,
"You have dual innate spirit bodies, a constitution that is not only unprecedented in the history of our Bitao Martial Academy,
but also rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns throughout the entire True Martial Realm.
Because of this, we, the high-ranking members of the martial academy, have great expectations for you.
We hope you can achieve great success on the path of Martial Dao and lead Bitao Martial Academy to rise in the True Martial Realm!"
As he spoke, his chest surged with excitement and his blood boiled.
He left his stone chair, walked up to Fang Bai,
patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly,
"Since the establishment of our Bitao Martial Academy, we have never produced a martial dao prodigy,
hence we have always been a fourth-rank sect.
Although a fourth-rank sect is much stronger than those insignificant small sects and factions,
it is still far behind compared to the third, second, or even first-rank major sects. Ah..."
