Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 342: Speedy Development

Of course, Meng Chao just entertained the thoughts in his head.

He was sure that in his previous life, Dragon City had suffered a major loss against the abnormal beast organization, and the Ghost Tribe learned many of its tricks from it.

If he used them during his training and shocked everyone, it would be too flashy. He might end up catching the attention of the abnormal beast organization.

He had contact with the White Spirit Case and Gao Ye’s case. If there was really a huge abnormal beast organization with plans behind these two cases, his name might already be on their black list.

Before he reached Heaven Realm, he should keep a low profile.

Hence, Meng Chao only made sarcastic quips in his mind while he obediently received guidance from the instructors during classes. He only occasionally revealed some outstanding ideas, but it was enough to shock his instructors.

Lu Siya had an even greater understanding of Meng Chao’s progress.

After the course to teach him the skills to perform fine dissection of an abnormal beast’s brain, Lu Siya became an instructor for a period of time to teach him about the structure of the abnormal beast research department, their operation and fighting methods.

She had heard that Spirit Creation Creatures intended to split up its core asset package and work with Superstar, so she was very interested in this and wanted to have a share in it.

Spirit Creation Creatures was still being monitored and investigated, so it was a rather sensitive business acquisition, and the government required someone from the abnormal beast research department to join the process.

Hence, she began traveling to Nine Sands University City and spent a lot of time with Meng Chao.

He was naturally not as cautious with her as with the other instructors.

Besides, Lu Siya was a Spirit Senser, so when she was in close contact with someone, she could read them in a way that others could not.

For example, she noticed the faint killing intent that spread out from Meng Chao when he was in a dark mood.

She had a much clearer idea of how fast Meng Chao was improving compared to the other instructors, and she also noticed terrifying skills that he sometimes unintentionally revealed.

“I didn’t expect this. Compared to stopping the enemy from creating destruction, you seem to be more skilled in creating destruction. In fact, you seem to prefer that. With how you’re acting, you’re basically born to be a thief, assassin, spy, or terrorist. The abnormal beast research department is wasting your talents!” Lu Siya had once told him.

Meng Chao could only smile wanly at that.

But when he thought about it, once he joined the Ghost Tribe in his previous life, didn’t he do the things that thieves, assassins, spies, and terrorists did?

Those were not talents... He just did those things to survive.

‘Dragon City suffered a really tragic fate in my previous life!’ Meng Chao could not help but sigh. ‘Even a good man who is kind, passionate, optimistic, and filled with justice such as me was forced to walk down a ruthless and despicable path. How much more did the other citizens suffer, if that’s the case? How could Dragon City not be destroyed if it ended up in that state?!’

Fortunately, Lu Siya just mentioned those things without thinking much about them.

After she said them, she even asked him how to kill, lurk in the dark, assassinate targets, and cause destruction. She was full of interest.

They sparred and often switched roles between being the one causing destruction and the one protecting. They performed offensive and defensive drills. Lu Siya was several cultivation realms higher than Meng Chao, but he had experience and skills that surpassed the current era.

In the end, one person was better on one day, but the next ended up a loser. As time passed, both of them learned a lot from each other and neither could differentiate just who was the instructor and who was more skilled and favored destruction more.

Aside from training, Meng Chao spent the rest of his time in the Broken Star Club.

He told Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo about his plans to grow the Broken Star Club, and Gu Jianbo’s eyes sparkled at the mention of it. He agreed to it and showed great support.

Gu Jianbo was not a martial arts maniac who only knew how to shut himself up to research martial arts.

When Meng Chao first met him, he was a fatty who had a dandy appearance.

In Meng Chao’s previous life, he had persevered alone, even if he suffered a lot of setbacks during his experiments. He was able to get sponsors, and in the end, he managed to create the Ultimate Style.

This showed that he was someone who knew how to handle people, had a lot of connections, and his promises to get sponsors were topnotch.

Ma Hong, the course rep of the martial arts refresher course, had also shared that before Meng Chao arrived, Gu Jianbo often went to mingle among the rich and powerful to get funds for his research. He was really skilled in riding the coattails of rich women.

They were all connections that the Broken Star Club could use.

Meng Chao’s suggestion delighted Gu Jianbo because the Ultimate Style could not spread in the way he wanted.

It was true that through the northern offense, Agricultural University’s martial arts course increased its support for the Ultimate Style, and right now, the Ultimate Style was something the entire city knew. Compared to the same month last year, it was as if they were living in different worlds.

But the fact that everyone knew it and was interested in trying it out did not mean that all superhumans were willing to throw money into it and use it as the main cultivation model.

The Overkill Style, Machine Armor Style, Gun Fighting Style, Beast Soul Style, and all other martial arts had been developed for at least twenty years before they gained a solid foundation and a huge number of practitioners. Their interest groups were deeply entangled with each other.

Even if everything was ignored and the focus was put on the martial arts training courses in society, there were so many of them trying to earn a living that they were as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Once the Ultimate Style rose to fame, it meant that they were going to steal their money and cut off their means of living. There was no way those people would not resist that.

This did not mean that the Ultimate Style was afraid of those martial arts, however. Gu Jianbo was really good at mingling with people, and he knew the logic behind wealth only coming to the people who were amiable. The Ultimate Style had just been born, and it was not his style to form enemies right off the bat.

Meng Chao’s suggestion suited his tastes.

Broken-star superhumans had been an overlooked ocean for a long period of time. They had cleared around five main meridians, and it was hard for them to practice traditional martial arts.

But the Ultimate Style was practically made for them.

It was a great idea to first enter the market of hundreds of thousands of broken-star superhumans. With the Broken Star Club as a solid shield for the Ultimate Style, they would have a much better chance to snatch the pie from the Overkill Style, Gun Fighting Style, Machine Armor Style, and Beast Soul Style.

Hence, Gu Jianbo, who was the supervisor-in-name of the Broken Star Club, decided to show respect to his true disciple. He made use of all his connections and glib tongue to go and attract sponsors for the Broken Star Club, just like what he did when he went to get sponsors for the Ultimate Style.

Ever since Gu Jianbo became a five-star superhuman, his fame rose in Dragon City.

The bosses and rich women from various fields who had once invested in the Ultimate Style also saw that Gu Jianbo had fulfilled his promise and delivered results. They were about to get back the money they invested and also earn big.

So, there was no way they would be stingy and not invest further into the project.

Naturally, Meng Chao could not hide this from his tutor’s wife—Griffin Li Yingzi.

To his surprise, despite being a Beast Soul Style elite, she encouraged the development of the Broken Star Club and gathered a lot of resources for them through different channels.

Li Yingzi had her own reasons for it.

The dean of Agricultural University’s martial arts and life science department, Black Tortoise Zong Yue, had been in his position for decades and should retire in a few years’ time. Then, he would venture deep into the Supernatural Tower for isolated training.

There were two ace lecturers with great support under Dean Zong—Cold-blooded Jiang Ming and Griffin Li Yingzi.

Jiang Ming was a powerful fighter of the previous generation. He had sacrificed decades of his youth for Agricultural University’s martial arts course. His connections, experience, and fighting strength were flawless, and Li Yingzi originally did not want to challenge his position.

But thanks to Meng Chao, she had obtained a lot of spirit energy in the northern frontlines and managed to reach Spirit Armor Realm.

Now, both of them were at the peak of Heaven Realm.

Li Yingzi’s beast soul fusion was the most advanced and top-tier technology of Beast Soul Style.

Her husband, Gu Jianbo, was also an ace lecturer in the martial arts course and had risen to fame recently with his research.

Li Yingzi was eager to make progress, so there was no way she would not be ambitious.

However, she did not intend to challenge Cold-blooded Jiang Ming head-on. He had been in the martial arts course for years and was also her lecturer when she was studying. If she challenged him head-on, no matter what, she would not be able to win. She might even end up damaging the harmony in Agricultural University’s martial arts course.

She needed to think of another way to go about it, and she cast her sights on the course that Gu Jianbo was in charge of—the martial arts refresher course.

Originally, Agricultural University’s martial arts refresher course only had around one hundred people. It was not a full-time course either, so the students could attend the classes whenever they wanted.

But once the Ultimate Style rose to power, Agricultural University’s martial arts refresher course became famous.

Many people said that it was the best refresher course in the whole city. Even though they could enter with money, it was not a place where they would only end up getting a cert that was absolutely meaningless. They could really learn something there.

Because of it, during Meng Chao’s second semester as a freshman, the refresher course expanded to the point that it had around three hundred people.

But to Li Yingzi, this number was far from enough.

Hence, she started suggesting things to Gu Jianbo while they lay beside each other in bed.

“Jianbo, right now, your martial arts refresher course is occupying the entire old lecture building of the martial arts course. You have ready-made cultivation centers and labs, so even if you want to add other equipment or get more investments, it won’t be a problem. But it’s a bit of a waste if you only have three hundred students.

“Besides, you’re only teaching the Ultimate Style. Isn’t that a bit too dull? We have plenty of amazing skills in the martial arts course. Get more students, and I’ll mobilize the lecturers to transfer a group of young ones to you. Since the whole city is saying that your refresher course is the best in the city, you should work hard and make it true!”

Gu Jianbo was a little uncertain. “Will it work, though?”

“The refresher course students are responsible for their own profits and losses. As long as they don’t cause trouble, it’ll only be good for us if we get more funds for the martial arts course. There’s nothing wrong with that.

“I’ll go and talk to Dean Zong. The old man has always supported the Ultimate Style. When we talk to each other, he’s very happy when the conversation shifts to the progress of you and Meng Chao. If you can really turn the refresher course into something we can be proud of, it’ll be a good thing for us too.

“As for the source of students, we’ll definitely not have a problem with it. Meng Chao’s Broken Star Club has been growing really lively lately, hasn’t it?

“I have one more thought. Dean Zong might retire in two years. He’ll look at two factors to appoint the person who will succeed him. First, the one who has a higher cultivation realm and will be the first to reach Deity Realm. Second, connections, resources, research results, and the ability to create benefits for the course.

“I’m somewhat confident that my research results are satisfactory with beast soul fusion. But if we can really turn Agricultural University’s martial arts refresher course into the model for all refresher courses in the city within two years, my chances will be even better.

“If I see that I can’t win against Mr. Jiang, I’ll take a step back, but at the very least, we’ll still have the refresher course in our hands.”
