Chapter 16

At 6:50, Chen Cong entered the venue, standing still on the stage like a mountain.

At 7:00, more people started to gather, eagerly waiting for the show and discussing among themselves.

At 7:10, the members of the Martial Arts Association arrived, and the onlookers cheered for them to come up on stage. Someone who couldn't bear the taunting challenged them. Chen Cong said, "You're not good enough," and the Martial Arts Association member replied, "If I'm not good enough, I'll beat you to death" (this is my interpretation). Then the fight began, and Chen Cong defeated the opponent with one move, shocking everyone in the audience.

At 7:20, this was the agreed time, but no one showed up, and everyone was extremely disappointed. Suddenly, someone pointed to the top of the stage and shouted, and the onlookers looked up to see a person sitting on the top beam, looking very relaxed. Everyone was shocked, and no one knew when or how this person had gotten up there.

This person was wearing a military training uniform and a black mask, looking quite mysterious, and jumped down from a height of eight or nine meters, landing silently. (Don't ask me why there was no sound, it really was silent...)

The rest of the events were captured in the video, but I'll still recount them to avoid any confusion.

When this person made their move, they stunned all the onlookers. Then, this person claimed to be so handsome that it was unfair, and refused to show their true face (I think this person must be very ugly, don't ask me why, there's no reason, anyone better than me is—ugly!).

The onlookers called for the person to reveal their true face, and the person agreed. But the onlookers were too young and too simple, as there was another mask under the first one, and above the mask was a lecherous smile (simply inhumane!).

After playing with the onlookers, the fight began, swoosh—(that fast!), and it was over. Chen Cong was thrown twenty meters and stuck to the wall. The onlookers were stunned, not knowing what had happened.

Chen Cong challenged again, and the person moved again, swoosh—(that fast!), and it was over. Chen Cong was thrown twenty meters and stuck to the wall again. The onlookers were even more stunned.

The mysterious person said, "Cultivation is a personal matter, we'll meet again," and then flew away through the trees, leaving the onlookers in a daze. Truly, one move to defeat the enemy, leaving no trace. This kind of martial arts master's demeanor is truly awe-inspiring!

The above is what I personally witnessed, and there is video evidence. As a seasoned onlooker, I can assure you it's not fake.

When this reply came out, the entire thread exploded again.

Numerous witnesses followed.

"Onlooker A, I can confirm the video is absolutely real!"

"Onlooker B, I can confirm the video is absolutely real!"

"Onlooker C, I can confirm the video is absolutely real!"

"Taobao smile mask link, https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.110.el06VK&id=522920798324&ns=1&abbucket=19#detail The same as the mysterious person, you deserve it!"

"Thanks for the link! Please line up!"

Initially, they were lining up to confirm the video was real, but it quickly went off-topic.

"Onlooker D, I have always been upright, weaned at three, helped grandmas cross the road at five, done countless good deeds, especially with excellent bone structure and talent, preparing to learn martial arts to protect the country and uphold justice, seeking a master!"

"Seek the great master's contact, real identity, and information, with a heavy reward!"

"Actually, I have a secret I haven't told you, I am the mysterious person!"

"Hello, upper floor, goodbye, upper floor!"

"I also have a secret, I come from Planet Vegeta, I am Super Saiyan 100, I am here to save you, foolish Earthlings!"

"Upper floor, get lost, I am a youth from the ancient times!"

...

Amidst the chaos, some enthusiasts deduced the mysterious person's information from the video.

"First year, male, height between 178-183 cm, other details unknown!"

They even mobilized everyone to find the mysterious person.

But this range was too broad, with over six thousand first-year students, and at least eight hundred fitting this standard.

Finding this mysterious person in such a large group was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But the more mysterious, the more attractive.

The thread instantly reached 700 floors!

It continuously broke the records of 400, 500, 600, and 700 floors on the Jiangzhong Medical University forum!

And it looked like the record would continue to be broken.

Regardless, the mysterious person became famous, and almost all students at Jiangzhong Medical University knew there was a super expert among the first-year students.

An expert who could fly and walk on walls!

The mysterious person's popularity was directly reflected in the campus celebrity rankings.

In the first-year category, the mysterious person quickly topped the list.

First place, Mysterious Person (Martial Arts Expert) Index: 40,879

Exceeding the second place, Jiang Miaoyu, the new school beauty, by nearly 10,000 points, showing the mysterious person's immense popularity.

It seemed that everyone at Jiangzhong Medical University was bursting with enthusiasm over this event.

It's easy to imagine that these students, who usually only focus on studying, finally had a chance to let off steam and were eagerly joining in the fun!

The thread kept growing.

Higher and higher!

The forum became increasingly lively.

The real-time online number exceeded 5,000, an unprecedented number in the forum's history.

Considering that the total number of students at Jiangzhong Medical University is less than 30,000, this online ratio is mind-blowing!

...

After evening study, Jiang Miaoyu returned to the dormitory with her books.

As soon as she entered, her roommate shouted, "Miaoyu, come and see, our school has a mysterious person! And it's from our year!"

Mysterious person?

Jiang Miaoyu put her books on her desk and laughed, "Xiaolin, are you having a crush again?"

"This time it's a real mysterious person, come and see!"

Her roommate Cheng Lin excitedly stood up and dragged Jiang Miaoyu to the computer, quickly opening the video.

"Look!"

As the video played, Jiang Miaoyu's expression changed from normal to surprised, and she looked at her roommate and asked, "This can't be real, right?"

"It's real!"

Cheng Lin said firmly, "Look at the comments, this really happened at our school this afternoon! Hehe, Miaoyu, do you think this mysterious person is handsome?"

"You're having a crush again!"

Jiang Miaoyu scrolled down and saw that many people had the same doubts and confirmed the video was real.

Is there really someone who can fly and walk on walls like in martial arts TV shows?

And who is this person?

She couldn't help but be curious.

At the same time, she thought about the bottle of water from this morning.

It seems that Fang Qiu is also a person with many secrets.

Returning the computer to her roommate, Jiang Miaoyu prepared to wash up. Just as she was about to change out of her military training pants, she stopped when she felt something in her pocket.

She opened it to find a letter lying there alone.

Jiang Miaoyu was stunned.

...

The culprit who sparked the curiosity and enthusiasm of countless people at Jiangzhong Medical University was currently reading a book in the classroom.

After leaving the playground, Fang Qiu removed his mask and returned to the classroom to read, completely detached from the events outside.

At 10:00 PM, Fang Qiu returned to the dormitory with his backpack.

Before he even entered, he heard the voice of Sun Hao, the third roommate, "I'm planning to buy the same mask as the mysterious person, who wants one?"

"I want one! I want one!"

Fang Qiu pushed the door open and saw Zhou Xiaotian, the fourth roommate, excitedly raising his hand.

Seeing Fang Qiu return, Zhou Xiaotian quickly showed off with a sympathetic look, "Youngest, you missed out on Chen Cong's martial arts competition today! You really missed out on such an exciting event, it seems you have a good face but bad luck!"

"How so?"

Fang Qiu put his backpack on the desk under his bed and asked with a smile.

"How so? I'll let you know what regret feels like!"

Zhou Xiaotian pulled Fang Qiu to his computer and opened the video.

Seeing the content, Fang Qiu was surprised that someone had uploaded it to the internet.

After watching, he immediately browsed the comments and felt a bit overwhelmed.

This is getting a bit out of hand!

He turned to see Zhou Xiaotian's eyes staring at him intently, and he quickly put on a jealous, regretful, and envious look, saying, "Sigh, I missed it! I really missed it! If I had known it was so exciting, I would have gone no matter what!"

"Ha ha ha, regret it, don't you! You deserve it!"

Zhou Xiaotian was very pleased and happy to see Fang Qiu's regret.

"Youngest, do you want the same mask as the mysterious person?"

Sun Hao asked, looking at the computer.

"Why do I need a mask?" Fang Qiu asked, puzzled.

"To show off!"

Sun Hao said with a dreamy look, "Don't you think wearing this mask is cool? When everyone thinks I'm the mysterious person, it will be even cooler! Ha ha, I can already see the rich and beautiful girls waving at me! Hehe, hehe..."

Fang Qiu gave him a helpless look and said, "Aren't you afraid someone will hit you from behind?"

"Afraid of what? Aren't you all here? A row of mysterious people, who will they hit?"

Sun Hao wasn't worried at all and had even bigger ambitions, "When we find the mysterious person, I plan to become his disciple!"

"Disciple?"

Fang Qiu asked with a smile, "What do you plan to do with good martial arts skills? Save the beauty?"

"Look at your lowly aspirations!"

Sun Hao gave Fang Qiu a disdainful look and said, "I plan to uphold justice and punish evil."

Fang Qiu didn't expect such high aspirations from the third roommate but still poured cold water on him, "Fighting is illegal now, and you have to pay medical bills."

"Who cares? No one will know it's me, I'll run after doing good, hehe, I can already fly and walk on walls, who can catch me?"

The third roommate was already drooling in his imagination.

Wearing a mask to uphold justice and punish evil?

Fang Qiu's eyes lit up.

"Do you want one or not?"

Sun Hao urged.

"I want one, give me a dozen!"

Fang Qiu quickly said.

"Alright, youngest, I didn't expect such a pure-looking person to have such a hidden, perverted heart!"

Sun Hao said with a sinister smile.

Fang Qiu smiled but didn't argue.

Wearing a mask to uphold justice is a good idea.

Since many people in the school are already wearing the same mask, he can go out to punish evil and uphold justice without being recognized.

This is a form of protection for himself.

Not bad!

Fang Qiu smiled, then tidied up his desk, opened his computer, and checked the status of the horsehair duster and copper coins he bought yesterday.

They had just been shipped, so he would have to wait a few more days to start the bone-setting training.

Night fell, and he rested.

At 3:00 AM, Fang Qiu got up on time again.

Dressed, he leaped down from the building and went to Medicine King Mountain, where he saw Chen Cong practicing.

Smiling, Fang Qiu quietly left.

He had heard Chen Cong's final shout yesterday, but he had already shown what he needed to show, and the rest depended on Chen Cong's insight. He couldn't help further.

This was one reason he didn't show up.

Another reason was that there were others in the forest on Medicine King Mountain.

He sensed several people, including a martial artist who had mastered internal energy.

He knew they were waiting for him.

But their thoughts and wishes were none of his concern.

He went directly to the central lake and continued his training.

At 6:50 AM, Fang Qiu and his three roommates left the dormitory after a light meal and headed to the military training ground.

Today was the last day of military training.

Everyone's faces showed a hint of relief.

The ten-day devilish military training was finally coming to an end.

They were already imagining their future college life, the study room, the library, the female students, and the chance encounters, hehe...

Fang Qiu, however, was different. The entire military training was easy for him.

If someone practiced boxing 200 times a day for seven months, they wouldn't find military training tiring or difficult.

As soon as Fang Qiu arrived at the training ground for Class 3, he heard someone calling him.

"Fang Qiu!"

He looked up and saw Liu Feifei hurrying over.

"Senior, is there something?"

"Good news! Our school is holding an opening ceremony next Saturday, and given your performance the other day and Jiang Miaoyu's, the school program team has invited you both to perform at the opening ceremony! How about it, a chance to show off and perform with the school beauty, isn't that great?"

Liu Feifei said with a smile.
