Chapter 964: Qi Yunshan
Under the dark sky, an immense explosion suddenly erupted. It seemed like there was another small sun.
After the commotion, every star beast fell to the ground, trembling in fear.
The remaining shockwaves passed, and a scene of devastation remained.
“He escaped? This kid is good at surviving!”
Fang Yuan controlled the Wings of the Sky to land on the ground slowly.
In fact, using his Demon God power to operate this mecha was a complete waste.
If he had used his Demon God abilities alone, there was a very high chance that he would have killed Wu Wudi, but there was still a slim chance that he could have gotten away. If he escaped and news about him got out, it would have been bad for Fang Yuan.
Therefore, he could only choose this method to hide his cards.
“If this mecha was at its peak condition, I could have used the dimension anchor, and there would have been no way Wu Wudi could have escaped!”
But since this mecha was damaged, many functions could not be used.
Of course, it was still a hundred times better than the military’s standard mecha!
At least, if it had a repaired core energy source and a suitable mecha pilot, it would have destructive power comparable to an Undead Immortal.
Clang!
The hatch opened. Fang Yuan jumped out and spotted Huang Tianba, Sun Mengmeng, and the others.
They all looked at Fang Yuan as if they were looking at a god.
“Y-you actually defeated Wu Wudi and took the mecha away from him!” Lu Qiming’s eyes widened. “Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable! Wu Wudi has his name precisely because he hasn’t suffered defeat! Now that you’ve defeated him, you’re one of his mental demons. You should watch out for his revenge in the future!”
“Revenge? We haven’t taken our revenge yet!” Fang Yuan sneered.
“Even if we testify, it’ll be difficult. After all, Wu Wudi is already a Nascent Soul cultivator and has special privileges within the Alliance. After he returns, he can become a professor directly…” Li He said in a troubled manner.
“Yeah, you have your troubles too!” Fang Yuan thought about it. “In that case, leave a statement with me instead!”
In fact, he secretly had a piece of evidence as well. He had recorded everything that just happened.
Even though there was signal interference and he could not send messages out, he could still record them.
Fang Yuan continued, “Also, regarding my strength and this mecha, I hope you can keep it a secret for me!”
“Of course…” Li He and the others nodded. “According to the wilderness exploration rules, we should split the rewards, but the harvest is far too great this time. It’s a top-class mecha! Wings of the Sky was Sky University’s greatest creation that year. If you hand it to East Dragon University, you can discover lots of secrets regarding Sky University’s advanced research secrets! Be careful though. Once this gets exposed, we don’t know what they’ll do to protect their research secrets.”
“I understand…” Fang Yuan nodded. “However, in the worst-case scenario, I only have to give up this mecha. This isn’t much…”
“Indeed…” Li He immediately understood. “You’re a genius who surpasses Wu Wudi. East Dragon University will definitely protect you!”
“The truth is that I’m not ready to expose myself!” Fang Yuan shook his head, having other thoughts in mind.
“Boss, relax. Marianne and I will keep our mouths shut!” Huang Tianba patted his chest, showing his sincerity.
Sun Mengmeng, Lu Qiming, and the others directed complicated looks at Fang Yuan.
…
‘Ding! You have a new call!’
After sending Huang Tianba and his group out of the Wasteland, he received a call.
Fang Yuan casually tapped it open, and Wu Wudi’s figure appeared on the screen.
“Lin Meng… good! Really good!”
Although he looked calm, his eyes revealed his turmoil.
“Naturally, and it’ll get even better in the future!” Fang Yuan shrugged. “That’s right… I’ve submitted evidence of your crimes. You’d better watch out from now on!”
“Haha… you’ve forgotten that I’m a Nascent Soul Mystic. I’m a high-level battle power within the Alliance, and all I did this time was to order a murder. The school won’t punish me severely!” Wu Wudi laughed coldly.
In reality, he would need to pay a considerable price, but he would never tell Fang Yuan that.
“Instead, it’s you who’s in deep trouble! Don’t you think it’s troublesome to hold on to that mecha?” His voice was low.
“It is quite troublesome since it’s a hundred meters tall. That’s why I’m preparing to take it apart and donate parts of it to the school. I’ll donate the other parts to Sky University. What do you think?” Fang Yuan replied earnestly. Wu Wudi was so angry that he nearly spat blood.
With combat power that was comparable to an Undead Immortal, how could he just give it up like that?
He did not know that the current Wings of the Sky was nothing more than an empty shell, and its core reactor was mostly destroyed.
However, Fang Yuan was not prepared to sell this component. Otherwise, he’d expose his secret.
Fortunately, even though the reactor was broken, the psionic crystal was still around. He swallowed it directly, consuming it for his progress. He was another step forward in breaking through to the next level of the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique.
“Very good! Just you wait!” Wu Wudi hung up immediately.
Outside the Wasteland, there was human civilization and surveillance everywhere. Even a Nascent Soul Mystic would have all their actions recorded.
“Sir!” With a pale face, Beatrice walked over nervously.
In the past, she was part of Red Tarantula. Later on, she changed sides to Wu Wudi, but who knew he was so useless and would be taken down by Fang Yuan so easily. He escaped without even thinking about her.
Now, she could only shamelessly walk toward Fang Yuan.
“What? You want to work for me and become a slave of three masters?”
Fang Yuan looked at her with a playful expression.
“Sir… I had no choice!” Even though she did not understand Fang Yuan’s expression, his intention was clear. Beatrice hurriedly said, “After this incident, I finally know who I should serve!”
“Hehe…” Fang Yuan laughed coldly without saying another word. However, this woman had connections inside and outside of school. In terms of her information network, she was pretty impressive. “Fine… I’ll give you a chance! Wu Wudi has a private force inside East Dragon University, and he must have offended many people, right? Pull them together and tell them what happened today!”
“You want to…” Beatrice was a little shaken.
“Although the Wings of the Sky is good, it’s not something I can use right now. Of course, I have to give it away, or it’ll be trouble!” Fang Yuan shrugged.
In reality, a mecha with a broken core was much less valuable, but he would never divulge this secret.
Fang Yuan continued, “Also, to prevent them from having any ill intentions, you can accidentally tell them about my battle prowess and talent! This is just for deterrence. I don’t want to be too well-known. You can decide how much to tell them! If you do well, I’ll take you in!”
“Sir, please rest assured!”
To survive, Beatrice put in all her effort. “Wu Wudi is arrogant and despotic, and he’s offended many mentors and students in the past. Of which, the student council president, Qi Yunshan, has the most power! He’s pulled many people together to go against the Wu family. He even has the support of several teachers. I’m sure the school’s higher-ups would be happy to see them fight each other as equals!”
“Being able to become the student council president under Wu Wudi’s watch, he must be pretty capable. However, this is the main reason why Wu Wudi hasn’t fought him head-on!”
Fang Yuan looked through the material. “All right… go ahead!”
“Yes, Sir!” Beatrice bowed and returned to the tank.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan returned to the thick forest. He looked at the huge Wings of the Sky as a cold glint flashed through his eyes.
…
Qi Yunshan had received the news and quickly came.
After half an hour, a triangular black aircraft landed slowly from the sky.
“This is… the school’s latest stealth fighter. It’s coated with a material that can effectively hide from the detection of star beasts, and it’s quite safe for flying in the wilderness!”
Seeing this, Beatrice was slightly surprised. “Since the material is expensive, it can’t be mass-produced. We can’t exchange for it either. I didn’t expect that Qi Yunshan could get one!”
Clang!
The aircraft stabilized, and the bridge lowered. Several people flew out.
Qi Yunshan, who looked around twenty years old, took the lead. He was handsome and had an indescribable charisma like an inborn leader.
Furthermore, his cultivation was outstanding, and he was at least a level thirteen Mystic. Although he was not as strong as Wu Wudi, Qi Yunshan was still a one-of-a-kind genius.
When he spotted Fang Yuan, he smiled and extended his hand in a warm handshake. “Junior Lin Meng, you were unknown before, but this time, you’ve soared to the top! It’s great to meet someone who can make Wu Wudi suffer such huge losses!”
“He’s really at Golden Core!”
“Breaking through to the Golden Core stage even though you’re a first-year, you’re much more talented than Wu Wudi!”
There were two teachers behind Qi Yunshan, and they were both cultivators at Golden Core perfection. One was male, while the other was female. Their scorching gazes nearly burned Fang Yuan.
“Calling you a genius is an understatement. You’re practically a demon!” The female teacher extended her hand. “I am Zhao Feiyan, from the sword cultivation department. Lin Meng, if you’re interested in sword cultivation, please consider our department!”
“What about Wings of the Sky? Where is it?” The male teacher looked very old. He grabbed on to Fang Yuan’s clothes anxiously while looking around.
“Of course, I have it. However, how would the two of you suggest I handle it?” Fang Yuan asked.
“If we follow the regulations, all of it belongs to you of course. However, the Wings of the Sky is the result of Sky University’s years of research. The intellectual property rights on it are vital too…” Qi Yunshan was a little embarrassed. “The other side will find out the situation from Wu Wudi. It’ll be troublesome!”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Is East Dragon University afraid of Sky University?”
The old man blew on his beard, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Fang Yuan enthusiastically. “Student Lin Meng, why don’t you hand the mecha over to our research institute? Tell me if you need anything!”
