11 Putting the Fang family in its place

Stone Aperture Gu is extremely important to me, but it is rank 3 and refining it will be difficult. I will have to gradually refine it at an extremely slow pace. But it will all be worth it! I'll do it as soon as I reach 500 Gu points and buy my destiny.

I kinda want to buy a Liquor Worm Gu. My cultivation speed will soar if I use that. It's primary use is upgrading the essence in a person's aperture, making it 2 times better. This can help someone with 40% talent compete with an 80% talent. In my case, I have 55% talent and can practically contend with a 100% talent. My optimization bonuses can also get me a lot higher.

The Liquor Worm investment will be a net loss of 20 Gu points, but I want to secure my class President position. Any extra income source is a good boost. I make a lot of money selling animal corpses, but who can say no to a little bit of extra money?

There is no other way to profit around this Jia clan caravan, so I might as well get going and train a bit more. I saw my brother using his giant sword to cut down trees on my way to our treehouse and nodded at him in approval. I went into our house and began cultivating once more.

Some time passed and the fateful day arrived.

The presence of Fang Yuan looked just a bit gnarly to say the truth. He was looking at a teacher, while being covered in blood, with such a calm expression. His abyssal eyes staring at the academy elder as he inspected Fang Yuan and congratulated him on his accurate spit.

It was kinda funny, but I took it as a sign to make the final breakthrough and went all out that day. I didn't care about wasting primeval stones and freely used them. I went extremely wasteful mode on my resources for like two days. I spent my entire fortune to the point where we only had 30 primeval stones left and-

The jade-like light green aperture walls completely changed color finally and it went from extremely light green to a pale green color and the corresponding Primeval essence began building up in my body. Without a second thought, I went to the academy elder and got my name written down in 2nd place before a certain Mo comes to make trouble for me.

That is the event that took place a couple of days ago. Today is the day the class president is going to be announced and I can't wait for that amazing moment. The academy elder walked into the room with a sheet of paper held in his hand and a complicated look on his face. He stood at his usual teacher spot and announced.

"Today is the day to Grant subsidies and announce the candidates for class president and Vice President. There will be 1 president and 2 Vice Presidents in our classroom. And the candidates are: first Place, Gu Yue Fang Yuan, second place Gu Yue Kai Nem, third Place, Gu Yue Mo Bei and fourth place, Gu Yue Fang Zheng. The first place can come up to receive his reward!"

The entire class stared at me in astonishment as I smugly smiled at the devastated Fang Zheng. I am going to destroy his sense of pride and confidence today harder than the wolf destroyed his mother's corpse! Fang Yuan walked up to the academy elder and claimed his prize.

"As per the rules, Fang Yuan will be the Vice President and receive 10 primeval stones per we-" "I decline the position." Neither the elder, nor the students could say anything. Fang Yuan just declined the offer blatantly, without saying anything else, he went back to his seat with his reward.

"HAHAHAHA! Guess I am the class president now!" I laughed in pleasure as the elder announced the results and we continued the lesson. I was expecting such an outcome, but such blatant no-fucks-given attitude still caught me off guard.

The lesson went as usual and soon ended. As I was leaving for the next class, Fang Zheng stopped me in the hallway and was looking at me with anger and distress in his eyes. "How?" I didn't give a single fuck and just pushed him aside and continued walking. How can that little bitch overpower me?

"How did you and my brother, two C grade weaklings, outrank me?! It is impossible! Cheated! You must have cheated! You must have!" And he fell for the blatantly obvious provocation trap I set for him. I turned around with a smile on my face, my 1.7 meter tall body towering over him as I gazed into his eyes. My smile was full of malice and I let my killing intent fully wash over him. Then I said

"Fang Zheng, No matter what result you got in your awakening test, you will always be a bottom feeder and inferior to your brother! You are no genius! You are inferior to me and your brother in everything, except the amount of primeval essence held in your aperture. Having more primeval essence doesn't make you a genius. You are just the lucky bitch of fate. And don't forget your place at the bottom of our feet, or else you will be burnt by the two giant flames looming over you!"

He was shaking in fear and could barely stand my presence and killing intent, so I decided to finish this off. I didn't hold back in the least and sent my all-out punch to straight to his gut.

All the air left his lungs as he curled around me fist and barely held onto his consciousness. I kept my momentum and said my final words "And I'd advise you to remember that!" His mind couldn't take it anymore and he fell unconscious. I didn't give any more fucks about him and just went to the next lesson.

The fear of me was already installed in his heart, so he won't come to bother me again. Reputation is trully an extremely powerful Gu.

Fang Zheng was excused for the next lessons and I was called into the academy elder's office. He stared at me with dissatisfaction and said "Why did you have to knock your fellow student out? You are a class president, how can you set such a bad example?"

I looked at the man with dissatisfaction of my own and countered "It is not my fault. The damn idiot couldn't take the humiliation of losing to me and challenged me directly. How could I not retaliate? If someone is at fault, it is him for not realizing the gap between us and challenging me recklessly. Also, I didn't injure him or kill him. I even went easy on him and knocked him out unconscious in one hit He will be completely fine after waking up, so elder needn't concern himself."

The academy elder looked at me "This brat looks like a barbarian, but he played all his cards right. He played with Fang Zheng and trapped him in a corner. But what is his objective? He gains nothing by provoking Fang Zheng and is even making a huge loss. Is this just rebelliousness? He was thought to be a future A grade talent, so it is possible."

Is what I could read from his slightly dejected look and the sigh that escaped his mouth. Now that I think about it, my genius status came to me like Fang Yuan's, we abused our true age and then got put in our place by reality. Well, the first rebirth Fang Yuan got put in his place and I am still riding my high horse. So ya, people used to see me as an A grade talent and now I am a disappointment like Fang Yuan.

Unlike Fang Yuan, my parents are proud of their 55% son, because I have the highest talent in my family's history! Two fallen geniuses, but one is loved and the other loathed by their families. Quite an interesting contrast

The academy elder let me off with a "warning", because he couldn't punish me. I did nothing wrong and didn't earn any kind of punishment. He didn't enjoy how I humiliated the #1 genius and wanted revenge, but I am not so easy to bully!

The day went by like any other day and Fang Zheng kept staring at me with hatred and killing intent the entire day, until the faithful moment arrived. "You can't take money from me anymore! I am a Vice President! You need to res-" and a sudden boot to the face cut off all complaints Mo Bei had.

I laughed at his misfortune as Fang Yuan announced "Mo Bei is right. The Vice President and President are special people. They receive extra spirit stones, so they should pay more! From now on, the toll is 3 for Vice Presidents and 8 for the President! Any objections?"

Fang Zheng got his ass kicked right after Mo Bei and next was my turn. "Fang Yuan, I have let this matter go before and gave you some face as my sign of respect. Now you directly challenge me and even dare to make overbearing demands! Do you think I won't fight you and will run away?! I wrestle boars and wolves for a living! Do you think you can scare me?! Come and try to take those 8 primeval stones if you have the guts for it!"

Fang Yuan stared at me and released his killing intent, which I countered with my own and smiled. We both knew I was superior in all aspects and he stood no chance at defeating me, but he didn't want to show weakness. Actually, why have I been compromising for this little shit? I guess today is the day I put the Fang family in it's rightful place! Beneath my boot and on the ground begging for lenience.

I entered my fighting stance and got ready to fight it out with Fang Yuan. I noticed a glint of surprise in his eyes as he nodded and said "Very well!" and he went to the side and allowed me to leave.
