Many of the students from society had long since noticed that Meng Chao was tailing them, but Gu Jianbo acted as if nothing had happened, so they did not say anything.
At that moment, interested gazes were trained on Meng Chao again.
Quite a number of people rubbed their palms together and became restless. They wanted to vent all the energy they had not used up on Meng Chao.
Gu Jianbo frowned. "What are you doing? All of you look so fierce. He's just a freshman. Be careful not to scare him!"
"A freshman?" Someone was stunned. "He defeated Brother Ma twice in a row!"
"Speaking of which, oh right, Ma Hong, step forward!"
Gu Jianbo pointed at the Red Dragon Army scout's nose and said angrily, "I told you before, I don't care about fighting. I'll use the competition as training. No matter how badly you fight against the undergraduate students, I'll take care of you, but you have to fight with your own style and standards!
"Today, the other students performed really well. They brought out the skills they should have, as well as their unyielding martial arts spirit. But you, Ma Hong, you lost to a freshman twice in a row. Even if you don't find it embarrassing, I don't find it embarrassing, but the Red Dragon Army finds it embarrassing!"
As the crowd roared with laughter, Ma Hong walked out with a flushed face.
"Are you really a freshman?"
He stared at Meng Chao and said in disbelief, "That's impossible. When you fought, your muscles tensed up and you were prepared to be injured at any moment so that you could have a chance to turn the tables. This is practically an instinct. If you hadn't been fighting in the fog for more than twenty years, how could you have developed this skill? Not to mention freshmen, even upperclassmen who have gone through several trials in the wilderness are far from being able to condense this kind of instinct! "
"Big Brother Ma, I'm Meng Chao. I'm really a freshman. If you don't believe me, look at my student ID."
Meng Chao smiled and extended his hand. "No discord, no concord. My dad was a soldier before. Big Brother Ma, you won't hold a grudge against me, right?"
"It's just a spar, what's there to hold a grudge for? However, you're really ruthless. My crotch is still hurting!"
Ma Hong clenched his fist and thought about it for a while. Then, his eyes lit up. "Meng Chao? The young lunatic who killed the Bloody Moon Wolf King during the practical test of the national college examination? "
The students from society gasped in surprise.
The national college examination was a hot topic last month, and quite a number of people had seen the news and interviews. When they looked at Meng Chao, they noticed that he was indeed the boy from the news, and they could not help but give him a thumbs-up.
"Good lad, you have guts. Brother Ma, losing to him is not an injustice!"
"Injustice is injustice, but it's a bit depressing. If I knew you were such a dangerous character, I wouldn't have shown you any mercy."
Ma Hong rubbed the bruise on his chest and bitterly smiled. "Forget it. I was blind and deserved to be laughed at by those fellows. Oh, right. You're an undergraduate, so why are you here?"
"He's been blinded by lard, insisting on taking me as his master. What a mess this is."
Gu Jianbo sighed. "It's my fault. I'm usually so talented that I always show off my abilities, and I often attract these monstrous geniuses. They cry and shout that they want to take me as their masters and suck up to me, but I can't chase them away." I'm really troubled. Come, help me persuade Meng Chao to change his mind and go to Ms. Li's side. Otherwise, when will I be able to patch things up with Ms. Li? "
His words caused many of the students from society to laugh.
"Meng Chao, did you hear that? That's just how Big Brother Bo is. Are you really going to take him as your master?"
"That's right. He's a four-star superhuman. Ms. Li is a five-star superhuman, and Ms. Jiang is a six-star superhuman. Even an idiot would know how to choose!"
"We're all uncultured and uncultured. We can't get into a proper university, so there's nothing we can do about it. We ended up in his hands. What's your situation?"
"Big Brother Bo can't do anything. In the internal competition among the lecturers in the martial arts course, he's always beaten up by Ms. Li. He's the one who has the most tricks up his sleeves, crooked ways, and ways to earn money. But if you train well with the ace lecturers and become a high-grade superhuman, you won't lack money!"
The students spoke one after another, and they rudely exposed Gu Jianbo's past.
Gu Jianbo had been smiling in the beginning, but gradually, his expression turned dark. He coughed dryly and said, "It's about time. Enough!"
"Weren't you the one who asked us to persuade Meng Chao?" the students from society said together.
"Even if I did, I'd still have to pay attention to it. I'm not as bad as you say, right?" Gu Jianbo felt a little wronged.
"Don't be humble. You definitely are."
While the crowd laughed, Ma Hong said seriously, "Meng Chao, you should be able to tell what sort of place the refresher course is and what sort of person Big Brother Bo is, right? This place is for superhumans who awaken to their powers by chance in society." It's for them to gain some experience, exchange fighting experience, form connections, and teach them some basic knowledge of the supernatural domain. This sort of place, regardless of whether it's the facilities, teachers, or cultivation resources, is far inferior to a proper university.
"Most of us have been fighting in society for more than twenty years, and we're covered in injuries. Even if we awaken to supernatural abilities, that's all we can do for the rest of our lives. We're not fated to become Heaven Realm superhumans or peerless fighters. We'll just stay here for a year and a half, learn a few moves, and become third-class fighters.
"You're different. You're young, and you're a proper university student. You have a bright future ahead of you, so why are you trying to get involved with us greasy uncles?"
Meng Chao could hear the sincerity in the students' words.
"Everyone, you're all broken-star superhumans, right?"
He thought about it. "Mr. Gu … Big Brother Bo didn't teach you how to cultivate branch meridians to fight?"
If they awakened to supernatural abilities by accident in society, there was a high chance that their main meridians would be damaged, and they would become broken-star superhumans.
During the chaotic battle just now, Meng Chao could tell that most of the students in society had only used spirit energy to strengthen one or two limbs. Their skills were rather simple.
They relied on their rich fighting experience and the advantage of not being able to use their major moves because there were hundreds of them gathered together, so they beat up the undergraduate students.
Before the students could answer, Meng Chao took the initiative to say, "I'm also a broken-star superhuman. I've only cleared four main meridians in my right arm."
The students in society were slightly stunned, and they looked as if they were in the same boat.
"I understand why you're here. We heard that Big Brother Bo used to research how to fight with branch meridians, but he failed a few years ago," Ma Hong said, feeling a little sorry for Meng Chao.
"That's right, Meng Chao," Gu Jianbo said sincerely.
Gu Jianbo said sincerely, "When I was young and frivolous, I did have a wild imagination. I wanted to come up with a new fighting style with my friends. The article that you saw on the internet was published at that time.
"But the path from the article to real combat is filled with difficulties and obstacles. It's incredibly long, and it's as difficult as ascending to heaven!
"Regardless of whether it's martial arts or research, most of the explorations end in failure. That's normal. It proves that the path doesn't work, and it's a good thing.
"Even though we've already run into an iron wall, we still try to break it with eggs. That's not perseverance. It's just foolishness. We have to pay a devastating price, but the results are meaningless.
"Now, I've already given up on cultivating branch meridians to fight for Project 1024 a long time ago. I really can't help you.
"Perhaps my article made you develop unrealistic fantasies and even affected your application form for the national college examination. I'm really … sorry."
He took half a step back and bowed deeply to Meng Chao.
The group fell silent.
If it were anyone else, they might have believed it and become disheartened.
But Meng Chao did not believe it.
After all, a few years later in his previous life, Gu Jianbo successfully created the Ultimate Style, and his name as the Blade Dancer spread through all of Dragon City!
Once the project was abandoned, it was very difficult for it to be operated again. It was impossible for it to succeed in just a few years.
In other words, Gu Jianbo was definitely continuing with Project 1024 and exploring the Ultimate Style with great difficulty!
"Big Brother Bo, I don't know the progress of Project 1024, and I don't know what problems you've run into, but I believe that the importance of this project is worth it for us to push forward with everything we have.
"I'm a broken-star superhuman, and the students in the refresher course are also broken-star superhumans. Most of the people in society who awaken by accident are also broken-star superhumans.
"Those lucky people who have a lot of resources, are protected by peerless fighters, and can easily become superhumans in cultivation rooms with a lot of spirit energy look down on us. They think that our main meridians are damaged, so we don't have enough power and our upper limits aren't high. Even if we cultivate hard for our entire lives, we'll just be third-class fighters.
"Yes, they're right about the current cultivation system. Only when we clear dozens or more than one hundred main meridians can we reach the peak.
"But I think that to protect something worth protecting, we burn our lives madly at the moment of life and death battles. We don't care about the price we have to pay to surpass the limits of our lives. This is the true meaning of being a superhuman!
"It's a pity. The superhumans who awaken through this method only have willpower and spirit, but because their main meridians are damaged, they can't cultivate fighting strength that can match their spirit. Big Brother Bo, don't you think it's a pity? Everyone, could it be that all of you are really willing to be a third-rate expert forever?
"Also, you can tell that the fog has been descending more frequently lately, and the monsters' attacks are also becoming fiercer. The war might soon become more intense, and we need more and stronger superhumans.
"No matter what, the number of superhumans who can be produced by full-time universities are few in number. The prodigies who are born in cultivation families and have a lot of resources are even rarer. Most of the normal soldiers have their main meridians damaged when they awaken on the battlefield, and they end up like us.
"War isn't something that can be won with just one or two peerless fighters. How can we make a large number of broken-star superhumans bring out their strongest fighting strength? This is the key that will decide the outcome of the war and even our survival!
"Big Brother Bo, I really think that the importance of Project 1024 far surpasses your imagination. It might become the hope for all broken-star superhumans and all those who are unwilling to accept being controlled by fate and rise up to fight back!
"If we run into any difficulties in the project, we can think of a way to solve it together. If we don't have enough money or resources, I will do my best to fight for it. If we need volunteers to carry out all sorts of dangerous experiments, I'm talented, and my cells are much stronger than a normal person's. I'll be fine. I can carry out all sorts of experiments.
"Even if we run into an iron wall, it's fine. I believe that the sturdiest metal in the universe is not as sturdy as human bones!"
His words caused all the students working in society to respect Meng Chao.
Even the grease on Gu Jianbo's face turned into an even darker light.
He stared at Meng Chao in silence for a while before he sighed and said, "Bro, you're really good at wasting your time. Alright, come with me. I'll bring you to see … the ending of Project 1024."
