"Indeed. Your fighting style is completely different from the Beast Soul Style. The Ultimate Style …"
Fang Lin mumbled. "Is it really that amazing?"
"You can personally experience whether it's amazing or not. If you're interested, go to the martial arts course's old lecture building and look for Mr. Gu Jianbo. Then, you can volunteer to join the follow-up experiments of Project 1024. All the monster controllers can learn how to cultivate branch meridians," Meng Chao said readily.
This time, all the monster controller course students jumped to their feet.
Their shock was one hundred times greater than when Meng Chao had managed to defeat ten people with one move.
"Are you serious? You want to teach us the Ultimate Style?" Fang Lin blurted out.
He could not believe his ears. Was this guy crazy? Did he not know that the martial arts course and monster controller course were mortal enemies?
"I told you, this isn't a competition. It's just an exchange of skills. If it weren't to promote the Ultimate Style, why do you think I'm fighting?"
Meng Chao frowned a little. "Do you think that I'm putting on an act, that I can't accept the results of the tournament between courses, that I want to win monster coins and a spot to head to the frontlines, or that I want to defend the glory of the martial arts course?"
"Um …"
The monster controller course freshmen looked at each other. They really wanted to ask, "Aren't you?"
"Of course not!"
Meng Chao saw their expressions and sighed. "You've really misunderstood me. If you ask the students who graduated from Ninth High School, you'll know that I'm someone who treats money like dirt and fame like fleeting clouds. I've broken away from low-class interests and only want to contribute to society. If I have any hobbies or interests, it's to communicate with today's classmates and tomorrow's comrades so that we can grow together.
"Yes, I know that in this materialistic and hot-tempered society, these words might sound a little shameless, but I'm a unique man who does things independently. What else can I do?
"It's up to you whether you want to believe me or not. In any case, the doors to the martial arts course's refresher course are always open to you. As long as you're willing to come, I promise that I will teach you everything I know and not hide anything from you."
His heartfelt words caused the monster controller course students to be stunned for a full minute.
Fang Lin shook his head to make sure that he did not hear wrongly. "Would the martial arts course leak such a secret technique to us?"
"More than 80% of the funds and resources for Project 1024 were gathered by me and Mr. Gu. The resource course and some famous companies outside the university also invested in it. Strictly speaking, the intellectual property of the Ultimate Style doesn't belong to the martial arts course. To gather more data and perfect the Ultimate Style, I have the right to invite all ambitious people to join us."
Meng Chao smiled. "But when I consider the relationship between the monster controller course and the martial arts course, it's impossible for it to be free. Monster coins, gene medicine, cultivation machines, all sorts of resources … As for the specifics of how we should work together, we can sit down and drink tea. We can talk about it while we talk."
Fang Lin pondered.
This was a serious matter that could not be decided with just a few words.
"I know that all of you monster controllers focus on cultivating the eight main meridians in your brains to increase your mental strength, and the brain is the organ that consumes the most energy. When you cultivate the eight meridians in your brains to become incredibly thick and sturdy, you can't help but continuously absorb spirit energy and fight for nourishment against the one hundred main meridians in your bodies. It's not much better than a broken-star superhuman," Meng Chao said.
"Monster controllers' bodies are usually not as strong as martial artists', so they can't create too many killing moves. That's the logic behind it.
"And the 1,024 branch meridians that the Ultimate Style cultivates don't clash with the eight main meridians in your brains. That's why you can cultivate them at the same time and complement each other.
"You don't necessarily need to cultivate to the level of an Ultimate Style martial artist. As long as your physical attributes become twenty to thirty percent stronger, your fighting strength will increase by leaps and bounds. If I put it bluntly, even if your biochemical beast is killed by the enemy, you can use the Ultimate Style to run faster, right?"
The monster controller freshmen sank into deep thought.
When they recalled the fight just now, they found that Meng Chao was right.
No matter how difficult it was to cultivate the Ultimate Style, they did not need to reach Meng Chao's level. It was enough if they could surpass themselves.
If the Ultimate Style did not clash with the monster controller skills, they could really try it!
The freshmen cast eager gazes at Fang Lin.
Fang Lin thought about it carefully and nodded slowly. "Alright. Thank you for your suggestion, Meng Chao. Once we go back, we'll think about it seriously. Don't worry, we'll try our best to gather the money you won today."
"No problem. You can think about it for as long as you want," Meng Chao said with a smile.
"But from a personal perspective, I suggest that you make your decision quickly. If the Ultimate Style is promoted on a large scale in the martial arts course, most of the martial arts course students will end up like me. The monster controller course will also be troubled, right?"
"That's …"
The monster controller students were dumbfounded.
They remembered how Sun Ya, Xie Feng, Jiang Rui, Duan Lian, and the others, who had been obediently standing in their stances to deliver damage, were now as cunning and scheming as Meng Fan.
They could not help but shudder.
…
At the entrance of the resource course.
When the monster controller students left with heavy hearts, the resource course students quickly went up to them.
"Ace Student Chao, how was it? Did he win or lose?"
"Do you even need to ask? Look at how respectful they are when they call him Senior Brother Meng. Ace Student Chao definitely won!"
"No way. He won ten in a row? How did he do it? "
"Ever since Zong Ye and Gu Jianbo's batch more than ten years ago, no one from the martial arts course has been able to suppress the monster controller course like this, right?"
/>
"That's not right. Even Zong Ye, the superstar of the martial arts course in the past, didn't manage to win against ten people in one go. His record seems to be winning eight or nine times in a row. Ace Student Chao, you broke the record that has been in the martial arts course for ten years!"
The resource course students were as noisy as ducks whose feathers had been plucked.
But Meng Chao stated that this was not an official fight that he had reported to the university. It was just a private sparring session, and he had promised not to reveal the results, so he could not be talking about breaking the record.
Besides, Zong Ye had defeated nine opponents one after another in the past.
He did not think that his raw strength could compare to a four-star martial arts genius in Spirit Vibration Realm. At the very least, he could not for the time being.
Ning Xueshi pulled a long face and chased away the crowd.
She pulled Meng Chao to a corner and turned into a curious baby.
"Alright, I won't ask about the results. The martial arts course has produced quite a number of powerful people in the past, and they completely defeated the monster controller course. It's nothing amazing," Ning Xueshi said.
Ning Xueshi said. "I'm just curious. Why do they look like they accept you wholeheartedly and are grateful to you? You actually developed feelings for each other?! "
"Because I promised to teach them the method to defeat them," Meng Chao said casually.
"The Ultimate Style is very powerful. Not only can it help monster controllers increase their fighting strength, it can also help harvesters improve their skills. If you want to learn it, I can teach you and the other students in the resource course."
"You succeeded?"
Ning Xueshi naturally knew what Meng Chao and Gu Jianbo had been up to over the past two months, but she did not expect that they would reach a breakthrough so soon.
What shocked her even more was that right after they succeeded, he was prepared to teach the monster controller course. Wasn't that the martial arts course's mortal enemy?
"Competitors and mortal enemies are two completely different concepts. No matter how much we fight for cultivation resources in the university, when we're on the battlefield, we're all friends who fight side by side and go through thick and thin together. If we don't get in touch with each other because of the estrangement between our courses, wouldn't that be too narrow-minded?"
Meng Chao said. "Besides, the martial arts course's enemy might not be the Ultimate Style's enemy. In fact, they might even become the Ultimate Style's ally.
"You don't understand? It's simple. What do you think is the greatest obstacle for the Ultimate Style to be promoted? The monster controller course? "
Ning Xueshi frowned a little and shook her head.
"That's right. No matter how much the martial arts course and monster controller course compete against each other, they're two different courses. They each have their own slice of cake, and at most, they're fighting for the same pot of cream," Meng Chao explained.
"But if the Ultimate Style wants to rise to power, it must first fight for the same slice of cake as the Beast Soul Style in the martial arts course. Do you think that the lecturers who have been practicing the Beast Soul Style for decades and have poured their lives and skills into it will be so easy to talk to them? They'll admit that the Ultimate Style is stronger than the Beast Soul Style and give up most of their resources?"
Ning Xueshi could not help but laugh. "That's impossible. The Beast Soul Style martial artists can't even accept Dragon City University's Overkill Style!"
"That's right. There's no one who's second in the martial arts world. The prideful martial artists won't easily change their fighting ideals. If we attack from within the martial arts course, we'll face much greater resistance," Meng Chao said seriously.
"Of course, I believe that as the Ultimate Style continues being perfected and upgraded, it will rise like the sun and become unstoppable. But we'll need at least a few years before we can gain the world's acknowledgement!"
"It's a brand new cultivation method and fighting style. If we want to gain full acknowledgement, three to five years won't be a lot," Ning Xueshi said in concern. "Don't be too hasty!"
"Ten thousand years is too long. We have to seize every moment. Forget about three to five years, I can't even wait for a year and a half. I have to seize every second and make the Ultimate Style shine!"
Meng Chao clenched his fists and said firmly, "I'll work together with the monster controller course and use it to put pressure on the martial arts course. I'll force the Beast Soul Style martial artists who are stuck in their old ways to learn from their mistakes and change. This is the fastest method I can think of.
"As long as I can make the Ultimate Style rise to power, no matter how many challenges I face and how everyone misunderstands that I'm too arrogant and pretentious, it doesn't matter!"
"Why?" Ning Xueshi was puzzled. "Are you sure that the Ultimate Style is worth risking everything for?"
"… Yes."
Meng Chao was silent for a moment. Then, sparks shone in his eyes, and he enunciated each word clearly. "I don't know whether the Ultimate Style is the correct path, but I know that aside from the Ultimate Style, there's no other path I can take.
"Since all other paths lead to death in this dark night, I can only head in this one direction and move forward boldly. I'll crush all obstacles until dawn arrives and light up the path to victory!"
Ning Xueshi's expression changed.
She could sense a will that was as strong as flames coming from Meng Chao, and it released a burning presence.
She looked in the direction of Meng Chao's gaze, and she felt as if she could see the only path burning in the darkness.
"Alright, I'll talk to the lecturers in the course and bring a few students to visit your lab tomorrow," Ning Xueshi said instinctively.
"Thank you, Big Sis Xueshi." Meng Chao smiled. "By the way, can I use the medicine preparation room again? I need some tools and materials."
"Sure. What do you want to do? We're done harvesting and injury examination for the day," Ning Xueshi asked curiously.
"The fight against the ten monster controller course students just now was just a warm-up. It was just an appetizer."
Meng Chao slowly exercised his wrists and ankles. Hunger shone in his eyes, and he mumbled, "Next, I'll definitely have to prepare for a feast!"
