In the hall on the first floor of the Martial Arts Society.
The hall wasn't empty. There were many tables and chairs in the left corner. Someone was selling drinks here.
At this moment, Tie Tou was sitting on one of the chairs, slurping something in his mouth. It didn't look like wine, but more like a beverage.
Lao Wang didn't sit. Instead, he stood near the wall and stared at it.
There were many portraits hanging on the walls of the hall.
Among them, there were portraits of the past presidents of the Martial Arts Society, as well as photos of the current president, vice presidents, and leaders of various departments.
Seeing this, Fang Ping walked over. Seeing Old Wang staring at one of the photos, he smiled and said, "This is Senior Tian when he was young. He's quite handsome, isn't he?"
"I heard that General Tian Mu was severely injured?"
Fang Ping nodded slightly and said, "Sky Gate City is about to evacuate. Brother Tian thought that this was an opportunity. He thought that the Sky Gate City lord had already left, so he brought people to attack the migration team … In the end, they were ambushed."
This happened when Fang Ping and the others went to the battlefield.
Sky Gate City was migrating, not evacuating. Only the Sky Gate City Lord was going to leave.
Tian Mu had ambushed a group of retreating Royal City Guards on the way, but he had been injured by the Lord of Sky Gate City.
Elder Fan, who was guarding the Magic City Catacombs, was entangled by the Sky Gate Tree.
Now that Sky Gate City had been evacuated, the Sky Gate Tree was no longer standing still and would often be mobilized.
Wang Jinyang watched for a while and said slowly, "You didn't help?"
"There's no need for me. I heard that the day Senior Brother Tian was injured, Commander Li brought him back to the military headquarters. "This time, I don't know if Senior Tian can achieve Rank-9. I heard that Commander Li might help him realize the Origin …"
As soon as he said that, Wang Jinyang sighed and said, "MCMAU's number one elite school is now firmly established. Vice-chancellor Wu is a Rank-9, Guardian Wu is a Rank-9, once General Tian has also broken through to Rank-9 … three Rank-9s in one school, it is indeed terrifying! "
"They graduate and leave school. They don't spend much time in school. "Of course, they still have a deep relationship with MCMAU. It's not a problem to ask them for help with some small matters, but if it's a big problem, then it won't be appropriate."
MCMAU was indeed very strong!
And it was getting stronger and stronger!
Among the Three Departments and Four Mansions, the boss of one of them was from MCMAU.
Now, once Tian Mu broke through to Rank-9, it was very likely that Tian Mu would become one of the top Deputy Commanders in the Military Department. Or he might even take command of the Catacombs.
Anyone who was in charge of a cave was a true top powerhouse.
MCMAU First School had produced 3 Rank-9s, and one of them was Li Changsheng, who was comparable to a Rank-9. It was unbelievable.
Fang Ping did not dwell on this. Instead, he looked at Old Wang and smiled. "Why did you bring this up?"
Wang Jinyang said bitterly, "I just feel that many things are more difficult than I imagined. Ever since the vice-chancellor left, I've only wanted NMAU to flourish and not decline in our generation.
But thinking about it was good, but doing it was really difficult!
Fang Ping, sometimes I envy you.
"Of course, I've also been jealous. I feel that MCMAU's current situation is not your credit, but the foundation laid by generations of MCMAU instructors and students. As for you, you're just basking in the glory of your predecessors on this foundation.
"But when I became strong, so strong that I could even be called NMAU's number one, I finally understood that some things are not about strength …"
Fang Ping could not help but laugh. "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly feeling sad and sad? Did you suffer a blow? "
"Yes, I suffered a blow!"
Wang Jinyang sighed softly, lamenting, "For the past year, you've been in charge of MCMAU, and you've made MCMAU stronger, bringing about too many changes.
"As for me, for the past six months, I've also been in charge of NMAU, but the changes in NMAU aren't as big as I imagined …"
Fang Ping laughed. "What's so strange about that? "First, NMAU's foundation is not as good as ours.
"This foundation includes many things.
"For example, the students' talent, the school's resources, social status …
"What kind of people does MCMAU recruit?
"What about you guys?
"Our instructors have a lot of middle-ranks, and many high-ranks too. What about you guys?
"As for the school's resources, we've accumulated them for 60 years. How much do you have?
"Second, it's the difference in people.
"Who am I? "I'm Fang Ping. I'm the youth leader of this generation. As for you …"
Old Wang, who was still a little sad earlier, regained his composure in an instant. He glanced at him and said after a while, "Actually, compared to you, there's a huge gap. The biggest difference is that I'm not thick-skinned enough.
"Do you want to say something else? You're the Celestial Emperor, and I'm the general under your command?"
Fang Ping said vaguely, "The past is like smoke …"
"Haha!"
Old Wang laughed coldly. He stared at Fang Ping for a long time until Fang Ping's scalp tingled. Then, Old Wang said mildly, "Lord Celestial Emperor, do you know who those ancestors who died in the Imperial Battlefield were?"
Fang Ping coughed dryly. "People from the Bounded Boundaries …"
"What's the Bounded Boundaries?"
Old Wang looked at him, his expression amused. "Iron Head's palace?"
"…"
Fang Ping raised his head and looked at the ceiling for a while, muttering, "This ceiling doesn't look good …"
"Humph!"
Old Wang's expression was unfriendly. Would forcefully changing the topic work?
Ignoring him, Old Wang walked back to the drinks house beside him.
Fang Ping followed him, but he felt guilty. What was the meaning of this?
What did Old Wang know?
'I didn't say anything. What palace? It's not like I said it. How would I know if it's true or not? Ask Iron Head, why ask me?'
…
On the seat.
Iron Head was still drinking his drink. When he saw the two of them, he did not greet them and continued drinking.
Fang Ping glanced at him. He was so silly that he was cute.
He remembered the first time they met. He was such an arrogant person, such a leader. How could he be so silly?
How old was he, yet he was still competing with his drink.
Fang Ping was still thinking when Wang Jinyang said, "I didn't have time to tell you last time. After you separated from us, I entered a historical site."
"Yes."
"I found something."
"Continue."
"The ancestor who died in the ruins did indeed come from a domain, no, or perhaps the mountain gate of an ancient sect. Because according to the few words left behind by that ancestor, he was not with the others, and he mentioned the words' other sects'.
The Bounded Boundaries were not left behind by the Heavenly Court, nor was it a general's residence … "
When he said this, Old Wang glanced at Iron Head. Iron Head continued drinking his drink, as if he did not hear him.
Old Wang was tired. 'I said it was not a general's residence. Didn't you hear me?
Alright, this guy is silly. I'll just pretend he doesn't exist. '
Ignoring him, Old Wang continued, "Some of the legends in Sino Nation are not unfounded. Many things are related to some historical facts left behind in the past. "The Bounded Boundaries might be related to some of the modern sects.
"Some of the sects today that have existed for a longer time might have been passed down from these Bounded Boundaries.
"The destruction of the sects and the extinction of martial arts might be related to the Battle of the Imperial Battleground!"
As Old Wang said this, he said in a low voice, "I suspect that the passageway between the Catacombs and Earth was always open. Back then, martial artists traveled between the two worlds.
"In the end, the Bounded Boundaries suffered heavy casualties during the Battle of the Imperial Battleground. In the end, the remaining humans sealed the passageway.
"After that, because a large number of powerhouses were destroyed, all the powerhouses who had been traveling between the two worlds died. The Catacombs could no longer be entered …
"This also led to the extinction of martial arts. Hence, the sects declined from their prosperous period and entered a period of extinction."
Fang Ping nodded and smiled. "Your guess is very reasonable. There is such a possibility. "In other words, the Bounded Boundaries is actually the origin of the sects. The sects' era might not only exist in the past thousand years, but can be traced back even further.
"The thousand-year sects' era that we think of is actually just the end of the sects' era, a period of decline. Am I right?"
"Yes."
"What else?"
"I think the Elders of Star Town might be related to the Bounded Boundaries. They might be the survivors from back then …"
Fang Ping smiled. "How long has the Bounded Boundaries existed? What about the Imperial Battleground? It was at least before the Divine Continent calendar, which is a thousand years ago! "Do you think that these Elders were really people from a thousand years ago?
"Alright, even if they were, what were they doing in the hundreds of years between?
"Recuperating?
"Sleeping?
"Even if the Imperial Battleground appeared 1000 years ago and Star Town appeared 300 years ago, could they have spent these 700 years in a deep sleep?"
Having said that, Fang Ping continued, "Also, if that's the case, why did the Yang family's Elder die in the Bounded Boundaries? "Old Wang, I don't think what you've said is very useful. Everything is just your guess."
Beside him, Iron Head stopped arguing with his drink and said casually, "Even if that's the case, it doesn't mean anything. "If the Bounded Boundaries is the origin and foundation of the sects' world, it can't prove that it's not our mansion.
"Powerhouses, on a whim, let their disciples go out and build a sect. That's nothing.
"The Heavenly Court rules two realms, the generals keep watch, and the disciples create a sect for fun. What's the big deal?
"Otherwise, how do you explain why I entered the Bounded Boundaries last time?
"Why can't you enter?
"Why can't the others enter?
"Old Wang, you've been so mysterious, but in the end, you're just saying this?"
Wang Jinyang was speechless!
He really had nothing to say!
What you said seemed very reasonable, very reasonable!
Fang Ping did not think much of it. Iron Head refuted him directly. Old Wang looked sorrowful and did not continue. He sighed and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this first. "I'm telling you all this because, since it's related to some of the modern sects, I think that the modern sects might have some secrets that we don't understand.
"Do some of the sects with ancient legacies have some clues left behind?
"The Cultivation Methods that Fang Ping wants might not need to go to the Bounded Boundaries. Does the sect have them?
"Even if they don't, we can go according to the records and excavate the ruins of some ancient sects. Maybe we'll find something.
"Also, Star Town said that they found a group of resurrected martial artists. Previously, they said that some of them had returned to the sect. Does this mean that these people are the ones from the King Battlegrounds?
"Since they've returned to the sect, does that mean that their memories have been restored?
"What about the Cultivation Methods?
Star Town invited us once before. Should we take some time to go and have a look? "
At this point, Old Wang continued, "Also … I've discovered more than that. The King Battlegrounds … Maybe it shouldn't be called that. It's more suitable to be called the Cage Grounds.
"The ruins that I found … Before the senior died, he left behind a few words, saying that … the two kings might not really be dead!"
At this point, Old Wang's expression was solemn. "The Chaos Origin Path might not be to prevent outsiders from entering. It's to suppress the two kings' Origin Paths and prevent them from resurrecting!"
"Did you guess it or did the senior say it?"
"I guessed it."
Fang Ping's expression was solemn. After a moment, he turned to a part-time martial artist in the beverage shop and said, "Give me a glass of ice water to calm my nerves!"
Old Wang looked annoyed. Fang Ping, on the other hand, was speechless. He said gloomily, "You're being so mysterious. I thought you've discovered some great benefits waiting for me to unearth.
"In the end, you're either talking about ancient matters or guessing that the two kings are still alive.
"You're worrying about nothing!
"So what if the two kings are alive and dead?
"It doesn't have much to do with us, okay? At least now we don't have the right to care about these things, whether they're alive or dead."
Beside him, Li Hansong chimed in, "That's right! You're so free! "Why didn't you say this earlier for such a small matter? Did you have to hold it in until now?"
Wang Jinyang's expression was blank!
This was … a small matter?
The two kings might not be dead and still be in deep slumber in the King Battlegrounds. This was a small matter?
This concerned the survival of humankind!
"In your eyes, what is a big matter?
"Before this, everyone was just guessing, just the guesses of the Catacombs powerhouses." Humans thought that the two kings were already dead. Now, there are martial artists who participated in the battle that year who determined that the two kings are still alive, just suppressed and imprisoned. "In the end, you don't care at all?
"If this gets out, the apex might panic!"
He did not say it before because he was worried that it would cause some trouble.
For example, if Zhang Tao knew, would he feel despair and choose not to resist the Catacombs anymore?
"But these two fellows … did not feel anything at all!"
Wang Jinyang was mentally exhausted. After a long time, he said, "It's not that there are no benefits. I obtained a token. These few days, I've been looking up information to see if I can enter the Bounded Boundaries …"
As soon as he said that, Fang Ping and Li Hansong became interested.
Compared to the previous things, this was a serious matter, okay!
Old Wang, this fellow, could not distinguish between priority and priority!
Wang Jinyang saw the interest, curiosity, and interrogation on both of their faces … He really wanted to beat them to death.
"Was what I said before really bullsh * t?"
When Old Wang took out the token, Fang Ping checked it. It was similar to his own, only the words on the front and back were different.
"Zhang" was engraved on one side, and "Xuan" was engraved on the other.
Fang Ping looked at it for a while. He had a vague judgment in his heart, but he did not mention it.
He listened to Old Wang's words.
But so what if he listened?
It was useless!
In the King Battlefield, even if the two kings were asleep, what could he do?
Zhang Tao and the others could not do anything!
It was fine if they ignored it, but if they entered on a large scale and caused the two kings to awaken, that would be the biggest trouble.
If he had the time, he would improve his strength first.
Moreover, Fang Ping would not go to the King Battlefield for the time being.
Fang Ping did not say anything about the token. The Bounded Boundaries that this thing corresponded to should be different. It was hard to guess which one was which.
If he had the time, he would ask Zhang Tao. He should know something.
Maybe, he knew where some of the places were.
"Now that we have two tokens, our chances of entering the Domain Domain are slightly higher. "If you have the time, go to the Bounded Boundaries to take a look and explore. It's better than letting your imagination run wild. Old Wang, don't think about those messy things."
After being lectured by Fang Ping, Wang Jinyang was speechless. He did not say anything else.
Fang Ping said again, "You've entered Mentality-Vitality Unity. Does that mean that your Life Gate has been activated?"
"No."
At this moment, Wang Jinyang had entered Mentality-Vitality Unity. This meant that he had sealed his Mentality Gate these few days.
The last time he came out from the King Battlefield, he was not far behind.
As for Iron Head, this guy was still a little behind, but he was close.
Hearing Old Wang say no, Iron Head was surprised. "It's not activated?"
"I probably need Mentality to materialize. It should be about time when I reach Rank-7."
Wang Jinyang did not say much. To him, Rank-7 was very far away, but it was also very close.
What he needed to do now was to make his Mentality stronger.
Mentality, on the other hand, relied on Mentality-Vitality Unity to cultivate. The speed was not fast. It would take at least half a year to a year.
However, if he exchanged it for some treasures, he might be able to increase his speed.
Treasures like the Heavenly Golden Lotus. He had obtained many Divine Weapons this time. Previously, when Old Yao donated it, Zhang Tao said that he would give him a Golden Body Fruit. In that case, it would not be surprising if he donated some treasures that could increase Mentality.
After saying this, Old Wang said, "Next, I'll collect some information about the sects, as well as other people's exploration of the Bounded Zones. Fang Ping, the information I've collected is limited. You'll have to put in some effort to find some. "
"Uh-huh. I'll mention it to the Three Ministries and Four Houses later. They should have some information. They won't give us everything, but giving us some shouldn't be a problem."
After saying that, Fang Ping added, "Our goal is still to find the Bounded Zones that correspond to the tokens. As for other things, we won't consider it for now."
Li Hansong nodded incessantly. He felt that Old Wang was doing some useless things. He did not want to waste time researching history. There was no need for that.
At this moment, Fang Ping suddenly said, "Oh right, I actually have some gains too. I forgot to tell you earlier."
"What?"
"The Catacombs' demons … some of them … might be our humans' mounts."
As soon as he said that, both of them were dumbfounded.
Fang Ping rubbed his chin and drank a mouthful of iced water. Only then did he say, "I found a few sentences from the second human senior. It's nothing much. I didn't understand it before, but after looking it up recently, I finally understood a little.
The gist of it was that during the great battle, the enemy somehow confused some of the human powerhouses' mounts, causing them to flee.
This senior said that if the future generations saw this, they could perhaps go to a certain place to look for so-and-so. There seemed to be some countermeasures there to get these mounts back … "
Both of them were dumbfounded for a moment. Tie Tou could not help but ask, "Are those mounts still alive?"
"The demons have a long lifespan. It's hard to say."
Fang Ping shrugged and said, "Who knows, they might still be alive. From what this senior said, these mounts are not weak. If they had not been thrown into confusion and ran away, the situation at the end might not have happened. In other words, all of them would have been wiped out.
"However, I think they might have died. The probability of them being alive is not too high.
"If they were really alive, they might have betrayed us completely.
"How many years has it been!
"However … if there really is some countermeasures, do you think we can deal with those demons in the Catacombs if we find them?
"Although the two great Houses of Monster Plant and Monster Life are strong, part of the reason is related to protecting the Houses. The demons that protect the Houses are quite difficult to deal with."
"Then, the certain place that you mentioned, where is it?"
"How would I know?"
Fang Ping said irresponsibly, "That place has been there for so many years. The words are not clear and unclear. As for the rest, I'm just guessing. "However, I really can't guess the name of this place. It's probably a certain boundary.
"I'll try my luck next time. Speaking of which, I heard that humans have mounts. Why haven't I seen it even once?"
Li Hansong immediately said, "There really is, but it's useless. "In the Capital City Catacombs, the Dragon King subdued a Rank-7 monster. It's really useless. It eats a lot. The Dragon King killed it in a fit of anger a few days ago and forged a Divine Weapon!"
"…"
Fang Ping's face was blank. What he said made sense.
A Rank-9 subdued a Rank-7 mount. It was just a form of transportation. It might even be difficult to use it as a form of transportation.
If he counted on this thing to fight, it might run away as soon as the battle started.
Instead of letting it run away, it might be more worthwhile to kill it and forge a Divine Weapon.
No wonder he had not seen it until now. Could it be that they were all killed?
During the Tiannan Catacombs war, those Grandmasters who had free time were all mobilized over. Some of them might have mounts, but without anyone to control them, it was easy to cause trouble.
At that time, many people had Divine Weapons … Could it be that they had all killed their own mounts?
Fang Ping did not think about it anymore. Who cared? It had nothing to do with him anyway.
He was not very interested in monster mounts.
Actually, he wanted to ask how to subdue a demon. If he could subdue a Rank-9 monster plant … and raise it in MCMAU, that would be exciting enough.
When Zhang Tao came later, he could ask about it.
After talking about this, Fang Ping did not delay any further. He still had things to do.
In the end, when it was time to pay the bill, Old Wang, who was treating them, almost raised his saber and chopped Fang Ping to death!
Nowadays, credits were common in martial arts universities. One credit was ten thousand bucks.
The three of them drank a few drinks, and in the end, the other party charged him 30 credits!
Old Wang thought he heard wrong and asked again. It was still the same price. Old Wang was so angry that his face turned green.
MCMAU might as well just rob it!
Did the cost of drinking a few drinks even cost 10 bucks?
If they charged him 300 thousand, they might as well rob it!
That was not the way to spend money!
Fang Ping, who was walking in front, pretended not to hear. This place was either not open for business, or it could survive for three years. The money they earned was used to subsidize the school. He did not earn a single cent. What was the point of Old Wang scolding him?
Besides, there were many rich people in the Martial Arts Society. They were bored and too lazy to travel. Was it not normal for them to come over for a cup of tea?
Who could he blame for not looking at the price list?
