“Why should I stop him?” The schoolhouse’s Elder raised his brows, beaming a smile. He stretched his hand, pointing at Fang Yuan from far away, then said, “This person has already taken control over the overall situation. Besides, he took action with finesse. When he hacked down on the disciple’s necks, it was just beside it. He did not chop on the back of their heads. Because he knew, the areas on both sides of the neck could only incapacitate the other disciples instantly. Meanwhile, if it was at the back of the head, that person would have died in one strike. Hence, he did not attack in such a way,”
“Look at the young men on the ground, is there anyone who is severely wounded? No! Even if they were wounded severely, so what? Depends on the Healing Gu Masters in our schoolhouse, we can’t treat this kind of wounds?”
“But Honorable Elder, this person is too arrogant. He blocks the grand gates; he is obviously looking down upon us bodyguards. Not to mention he does not pay any attention to us, the point is that if the other clan’s members saw this, what would they think about our schoolhouse? Letting a small grade C aptitude disciple to cause havoc in the schoolhouse without stopping him. If this spreads out, master’s honor will also be affected.” The bodyguard squinted his eyes, respectfully said.
“Humph, feeling this guy doesn't even care about your existences, you all feel that your dignity is being offended, don’t you?” The schoolhouse’s Elder was displeased. He snorted, then using a sharp pair of eyes to sweep over them. As he did so, the bodyguards all lowered their heads, and did not dare to speak up.
“What isn’t good about fighting? As long as it does not result in somebody’s death, then it could incite the competitive thoughts in them, as well as temper their fighting willpower. Forbidding fighting is like strangling the fighting passion inside these young men! Before, fights still happened, don’t they? They happened all the times, frequently even. It was just half a year ago. When the young men all possessed several fighting strategies, with power, they would feel the itch to exercise their skills; they were also in their warlike youth. Why didn’t you stop them at that time?” The schoolhouse’s Elder coldly questioned.
“Maybe before, fighting was just one on one. There is really few of those which could be at this scale. However, this time Fang Yuan has already created confusion among the disciples!” The leader of the bodyguards answered.
“No no no.” The schoolhouse’s Elder shook his head, “This was because you did not dare to stop them.” Because after half a year, Gu Masters will surpass ordinary human’s in term of fighting powers. You guys possess ordinary human bodies; how you can you stop them? Right now, you guys want to stop Fang Yuan, because you feel that he has just started to cultivate, he does not have enough power. Moreover, he’s looked down upon you guys, making you guys felt like your dignities were being offended. But you guys need to remember; the disciples are all Gu Yue! They are the members of the Ancient Moon clan. They are your masters! No matter if they are young, or their powers are weak, they are still your masters!”
The Elder’s tone suddenly became solemn.
“Your surnames are not Gu Yue, what can you do? Because of your loyalty, I gave you this position as a bodyguard, rewarded you with some benefits. But actually, you guys are still servants. Only servants! A servant also dares to criticize his master, managing his master’s things?” The Elder’s countenance was as calm as water.
“Subordinate don’t have this thought, really don’t have this thought!”
“Subordinate don’t dare to! Don’t dare to!”
The bodyguards were so scared that their faces had turned into the dusty ground color. They knelt on the floor one by one, constantly kowtowing.
The schoolhouse’s Elder coldly snorted. He pointed at the leader of the bodyguard group who had just said that Fang Yuan had created confusion, “Criticizing your master, remove yourself from the leader position.”
He stopped for a while before he spoke up to everyone else, “Half a month later, I will hold another examination for the leader position.”
The eyes of other bodyguards instantly lit up. They all felt excited inside.
“Being the leader of the bodyguard group, they can receive half a Primeval Stone each month!”
“Becoming a leader is a step higher than others. Except for the master, who would dare to confront the leader?”
“If I could become the leader, such glory ...”
“Enough, why are you guys still here? Quickly leave. Wait until the fight is over then clean up the field!” The Elder shouted.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
“Subordinate will take his leave!”
The bodyguards were leaving the pavilion in fear. As they were walking on the stairs, someone stumbled and fell down the stairs. Immediately, the sound of people falling resonated continuously.
However, being afraid of the schoolhouse Elder’s power, the bodyguard was restraining themselves to the extent where their faces had reddened. They endured it with hardship, and did not make any other noises.
“Humph, servants are like dogs. After a period, the bones in their bodies will become itchy. Someone needs to knock on them a bit to make them scared. Throwing a small bone as incentive in turning them into dog biting dog; fighting with each other, to devote themselves for my clan. What is called holding the stick with one hand and holding a carrot with the other [1] is the one and only path for the high authorities.” As he heard the sound from downstairs, the schoolhouse’s Elder satisfyingly sneered. He then turned around, pierced through the window and looked toward the direction of the grand gates.
There were ten more disciple’s lying on the ground beside the gates.
Fang Yuan was raising his head and standing proudly. He was facing three female disciples who were having their backs against each other, shrinking on the side.
“You, you, don’t come here!”
“If you continue, I will use my Moon Blade to attack you!!”
Aqua blue aureoles had all appeared on their palms. It seemed they were too anxious, could not help but invoke their Primeval Essence to urge the Moonlight Gu.
Fang Yuan’s body was one of a normal fifteen years old young man. If they released their Moon Blade attack, it would not turn out good.
However, he wasn’t scared. He scornfully sneered, approaching them step by step, “You guys really have the guts. Did you forget the schoolhouse’s regulations? Inside the schoolhouse, one is forbidden to use Gu for fighting. If not, expulsion will be the result. If you want to be expelled, then by all means, please feel free to take action.”
“This...” The female disciples were hesitating.
“There really is such a regulation.” The blue aureole in their palms gradually dispersed.
Light flashed in Fang Yuan’s solemn pupils. Seeing the gap, he instantly plunged forward, raised his hand, ruthlessly without caring if the other side were all women, with a ‘bang, bang,’ sound, he hacked down his hand on two people, incapacitating all of them.
The other one did not have any more fighting will. Both of her knees had gone soft, paralyzed then falling on the ground. She cried like a pear blossom bathed in the rain, turned to Fang Yuan and pleaded, “Fang Yuan you don’t need to come here, please spare me.”
Fang Yuan looked at her from above, and coldly spoke up, “One Primeval Stone.”
The soft figure of the girl slightly trembled. As she suddenly realized it, she hurriedly opened a big bag, taking out three Primeval Stones. Putting them in her palm, she raised it up toward Fang Yuan, “You don’t need to hit me, I will give you all of it, I will give you all!”
Fang Yuan’s expression did not change. He slowly used his right hand, stretched his thumb and forefinger to take one Primeval Stone from the girl's hand gently.
The girl’s soft body was constantly shivering. Fang Yuan’ small hand, even though it carried the signature pale and delicate feeling from a young man’s hand, to her, it was like a scary and terrifying demonic claw.
“I have already said, only one Primeval Stone.” Fang Yuan stopped for a while, and casually said, “You can go now.”
The girl looked at Fang Yuan in surprise for a long while. As she wanted to get up, her limbs had gone soft. She could not even stand up.
The feeling of being scared of Fang Yuan had filled her heart. She was too frightened that she could not even use a single gleam of her strength.
Seeing such a scene, the schoolhouse’s Elder could not help but shake his head.
Taking advantage of this situation to figure out the innate talents in fighting in the disciples was his first purpose of observing.
The girl who was paralyzed and fallen to the ground was a grade C aptitude. However, with such temperament, she could only be a Logistics Gu Master or engage in the production process of the clan. Do not expect her to go on the battlefield.
“But in fact, this Fang Yuan...” The schoolhouse’s Elder stroked his chin as he squinted his eyes, which were flashing with light.
He felt that this Fang Yuan was really interesting. Not only did he have a talent for fighting, but he also knew his limits. He had not surpassed the underline inside the Elder’s heart when shaking them down for only one Primeval Stone. If Fang Yuan were to snatch two, then he had overdone it, the Elder would have stepped out.
The allowance the schoolhouse gave out was only three Primeval Stones. Having taken one, then it did not have much effect. However, if two were snatched away, then what did they send out the allowance for? It was good enough just for it to be directly handed to Fang Yuan.
Quickly after, the last group of disciples was coming over. There were only five of them, and Fang Yuan’s twin brother was also among them.
“Gege, how can you?!” Your gut is too big. You dare to pick up a fight right at the grand gates, then even extorting their Primeval Stones!” As he saw this, Gu Yue Fang Zheng was widening his eyes and mouth. He really could not believe the scene being displayed in front of him, “You should quickly and sincerely admit your mistake with the schoolhouse’s Elder. This is not a joke; you can even be expelled!”
Fang Yuan smiled, “Sounds reasonable.”
Fang Zheng sighed out in relief. It seemed his gege had not gone totally crazy. It was good enough that he still listened to his advice.
However, he suddenly heard Fang Yuan speaking, “One Primeval Stone per person.”
“What?” Fang Zheng opened his mouth in surprise, “You want me to give you one too?”
“My lovable didi, of course, you don’t need to give me.” Fang Yuan’s tone was extremely gentle, “But your result will be the same with them.”
Fang Yuan pointed at the young men who were lying on the ground, they were either incapacitated or moaning.
“You don’t even let your blood brother go!”
“Fang Yuan, you are crazy, you are too cruel...”
“We cannot beat him. A true hero doesn’t look for trouble. We should just give it to him, getting through this crisis first.”
“That’s right. Give him the Primeval Stones first. It is just one anyway. Afterward, we will report to the teacher, he will be sorry!”
Taken warning by others’ failures, the rest of the youngsters obediently accepted Fang Yuan’s shakedown while carrying a gleam of refusing to give in in their eyes.
“Wait a minute.” As they were about to leave, Fang Yuan called them back.
“Fang Yuan, you aren’t keeping your words now?” The group of disciples suddenly became anxious.
Fang Yuan turned to the young men who were lying on the ground, and deeply sighed, “You feel that I will crouch down and search through each of their bodies?”
The group of young men was dumbstruck for a while. Then, they immediately shook, hesitantly standing still.
Fang Yuan stared at them, and slightly squinted his eyes.
As the cold light flashed in his eyes, five youngsters instantly felt their hearts beating faster, and their scalps were trembling.
“Alright, Fang Yuan, we understand your intention.”
“I will help you this time then.”
Being suppressed under Fang Yuan’s tyrannical abuse, they could only lower their heads, searching for the money bags from the young men lying on the ground, taking out one Primeval Stone from each. Afterward, they gathered them up, handing them to Fang Yuan.
There was a total of fifty-seven people in his class. As he had taken one Primeval Stone from each of them, Fang Yuan had a total of fifty-six Stones in his hand.
He had already had twenty Primeval Stones before, but he used ten of them to buy a couple jugs of Green Bamboo Wine. Moreover, with the allowance and reward from today, in total, he had seventy-nine Primeval Stones now.
“Extortion, this kind of business without capital is the way to earn the most money.” Fang Yuan put his money bag which had suddenly risen significantly into his bosom, then swaggered away.
He left behind a bunch of young men who was lying still on the ground.
Some other young men, including Fang Zheng, were dumbstruck, looking at Fang Yuan’s figure which was going further away.
“Quickly.”
“Speed up, taking good care of the young master.”
“Where is the Healing Gu Master? Quickly, ask them to come over!”
The group of bodyguards was yelling non-stop, all of them were competing to perform their best. Because of a little leader position, they were full of energy.
