Chapter 25: Fang Yu Cheated!

Ignoring the gazes around him, Fang Yu walked to the front desk with Tang Si, handed over two million, and then took the fifth-grade demonic beast core into his hand and left the auction house.Wu Xiong coldly snorted and followed him out."Let's watch the show!" Many onlookers, wanting to see the excitement, also followed behind Wu Xiong.As they walked out with Fang Yu, cold sweat formed on Tang Si's forehead.After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone, wanting to call Tang Mingde."No need to make a call." Fang Yu stopped Tang Si.Tang Si's expression changed constantly, but in the end, he put his phone down.At this time, the two of them had already reached an empty parking area."You two, stop right there!" Wu Xiong's deep voice came from behind.Fang Yu stopped, turned around, and looked at Wu Xiong with a smile. He asked, "Is there something?"Wu Xiong had a cruel smile on his face and said, "Kid, you're quite bold. Since you're still young, I'll give you two choices.""The first choice, give me two million, and I'll let you go.""The second choice, I'll disable you and take the demonic beast core."Fang Yu shook his head and said, "You're clearly robbing. I won't choose either of your options.""Then you want to die!" Wu Xiong's eyes widened in anger as he spoke."Wu Big Brother, I am Tang Si from the Tang Family in Jiangnan. This is a friend of mine. Please..." Tang Si spoke up to plead."Jiangnan Tang Family?" Wu Xiong was stunned, then his eyes lit up."Tang Family? Then you should be wealthy. Your friend has angered me. Unless you give me a satisfactory price, I won't let him off so easily," Wu Xiong said."I'm willing to offer..." Tang Si was about to speak up.But Fang Yu took a step forward and said, "You won't get a single penny."Wu Xiong laughed three times to the sky, then stared at Fang Yu with reddened eyes and said coldly, "If I let you go today, my name, Wu Laohu, will be pronounced backward!""This young man is really seeking death! He thinks Wu Xiong is who? He dares to provoke him like this!" one of the spectators said.Tang Si turned pale, covered in cold sweat.He regretted bringing Fang Yu to this auction house.He didn't expect that Fang Yu, who seemed mature, would act so recklessly! He had already reminded Fang Yu not to provoke Wu Xiong, but Fang Yu insisted on provoking him and even angered Wu Xiong."You hold onto the demonic beast core for me." Fang Yu handed the box containing the demonic beast core to Tang Si.At this moment, Wu Xiong had already made his move.He rushed towards Fang Yu with lightning-fast speed, his muscles tense.Fang Yu took a step forward and stood still, waiting for Wu Xiong to arrive."Die!" Wu Xiong raised his fist and punched towards Fang Yu.This was Wu Xiong, a martial artist at the tenth stage of the innate realm, using his full strength. The power was self-evident.Many people closed their eyes, not wanting to see Fang Yu's brain splattered from the punch."Boom!"A loud explosion occurred, and a cloud of dust rose at Fang Yu's position.And Tang Si, who was closest to Fang Yu, was pushed back several steps by the powerful punch.This was just the power of one punch. Wu Xiong was too strong!Tang Si's face turned pale, unable to imagine what would become of Fang Yu who had taken this punch head-on.The dust quickly dispersed, and a gasp could be heard from the surroundings.Tang Si looked closely and found that Fang Yu, standing in front, had easily blocked Wu Xiong's punch with just one hand.Wu Xiong's forehead veins bulged, and he swung his left fist again.Fang Yu extended his other hand and effortlessly blocked the punch once again.Fang Yu stood there, not moving a step."Is this your strength? How disappointing." Fang Yu smiled faintly and firmly grasped Wu Xiong's fist, twisting it forcefully."Crack!" The sound of bones breaking came from both of Wu Xiong's wrists.Wu Xiong screamed, and his entire body turned in mid-air before heavily falling to the ground.Fang Yu took a step forward, stepping on Wu Xiong's chest."Pluh!"Wu Xiong spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.The people around saw this scene, their eyes widened in disbelief.Wasn't this the arrogant Wu Xiong?How could he lose so easily?Wu Xiong looked at Fang Yu with a horrified expression and shouted, "How is this possible!? You clearly only have the strength of the fifth stage of the innate realm... Pluh!"Fang Yu exerted force under his foot again, making Wu Xiong spit out another mouthful of blood."You think I only have the strength of the fifth stage of the innate realm. It's just something I wanted you to think." Fang Yu said calmly.After speaking, he lifted his foot and stomped on Wu Xiong's lower abdomen."No...!" Wu Xiong shouted."Boom!"Fang Yu's foot heavily landed on Wu Xiong's lower abdomen.Wu Xiong once again spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.His dantian had shattered, and decades of cultivation had become futile. From today onwards, he was just a useless person.So ruthless!The onlookers felt a chill running down their spines as they witnessed this scene.Wu Xiong had really kicked the iron plate this time!"Who is this young man? Wu Laohu doesn't even have the ability to fight back in front of him...""Oh my god, I feel that he is even more terrifying than that Yang Jian, the recent famous person in Jiangnan...""Are you talking about Yang Jian from the Yang family? I still think Yang Jian is more powerful. After all, he is already at the half-step Grandmaster level!"The crowd was filled with discussions.At this time, Fang Yu and Tang Si had already returned to their car."Mr. Fang, may I ask..." Tang Si looked at Fang Yu, who was calm, with a hesitant expression."Hmm?" Fang Yu looked at Tang Si."What is your current strength, in terms of the innate realm?" Tang Si wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.Fang Yu thought for a moment and truthfully replied, "Currently, I should be at the 9,834th stage of the innate realm. I will soon break through to the 9,836th stage."Tang Si was stunned....After returning home, Fang Yu couldn't wait to take out the demonic beast core.This fifth-grade demonic beast core was incredibly large, and Fang Yu had to divide it into four portions before swallowing it.A pure spiritual energy surged into his dantian, making Fang Yu feel extremely comfortable.This spiritual energy directly helped Fang Yu break through two layers, reaching the 9,838th layer of the Qi Refining stage."If I can find another hundred of these high-grade demonic beast cores, breaking through to ten thousand layers will be within reach!" Fang Yu's eyes lit up with hope....The next morning, when Fang Yu arrived in the classroom, he felt that Tang Xiaorou was constantly smiling at him with a sinister look."If you're not feeling well, you can take a leave of absence. Why come and bother me?" Fang Yu said."It's you who's not feeling well! I can't help but laugh when I think of you serving me hand and foot, obediently and humbly..." Tang Xiaorou said.The results of the mock exam would be released quickly and were expected to be announced in the afternoon.Fang Yu didn't want to argue with Tang Xiaorou at the moment and decided to wait until the results were out.Soon, it was the afternoon, and the first class was taught by their homeroom teacher, Huang Hai. As expected, he would announce the results.Tang Xiaorou's eyes sparkled with anticipation, already believing she had won.The bell rang, and Huang Hai walked in from the door, holding a grade report in his hand.As soon as he walked in, Huang Hai gave Fang Yu a meaningful look."Classmates, the results of the mock exam from yesterday have been released. I will now announce the results." Huang Hai said.Subsequently, Huang Hai began to announce various data, such as the number of students who scored above the undergraduate line, and the number of students who scored above the key line...Finally, he announced the top ten in the class, which Tang Xiaorou was most concerned about."Tenth place, He Dongrong, total score of 623 points, an improvement from last time, but you still need to continue working hard." Huang Hai said."Ninth place...""Eighth place..."..."Third place, Xu Xiaona, total score of 649 points, maintaining a good performance, but there is room for improvement." Huang Hai said.Xu Xiaona's face didn't look too good because she had always been ranked first in the class and rarely made mistakes.Yet this time, her total score was about the same as before, but her ranking fell to third.The class also exclaimed in surprise, but then they remembered that Tang Xiaorou had transferred to Class 2!Tang Xiaorou was a top student in the key class, so it was normal for her to do better than Xu Xiaona."Second place, Tang Xiaorou, total score of 707 points, ranking fourth in the grade, an excellent result..." Huang Hai praised.But the students in the class were stunned.707 points! Fourth place in the grade! How could such a score not even rank her first in the class?Did Huang Hai make a mistake with the report?Tang Xiaorou bit her lip, her eyebrows furrowing tightly. She couldn't believe that even with her score of 707 points, she couldn't rank first in the class.Could it be...Tang Xiaorou suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look at Fang Yu, only to find that Fang Yu was attentively reading a novel."I understand that everyone is curious. Who exactly is the first in the class? Why can't Tang Xiaorou achieve the highest ranking with her 707 points?" Huang Hai said."I was also surprised. After seeing this student's score, I even thought I made a mistake and went to ask each subject's teacher to check the scores.""In the end, the conclusion was that there was no mistake in this score." Huang Hai finished speaking and looked at Fang Yu.The students in the class also turned their heads, following Huang Hai's gaze to Fang Yu's position."The first place, Fang Yu, total score of 723 points. This score is not only the first in the class but also the first in the entire grade!" Huang Hai said."Wow..."There was an uproar in the class.No one expected that the first place would be Fang Yu, and that he would have such a high total score, ranking first in the grade!Tang Xiaorou looked at the calm Fang Yu, feeling like crying.She had studied so hard, but in the end, she scored 16 points less than Fang Yu, who had been sleeping all the time!Who exactly is Fang Yu? How could he be so amazing!?Tang Xiaorou had conflicting emotions. On one hand, she felt unwilling, but on the other hand, she was completely convinced by Fang Yu..."Starting tomorrow, remember to bring me breakfast. The style should not repeat every day." Fang Yu patted Tang Xiaorou's shoulder as a reminder."I understand..." Tang Xiaorou felt completely deflated, her voice as soft as a mosquito."Teacher! Fang Yu definitely cheated!" At this moment, Xu Xiaona suddenly stood up and loudly said.
