Chapter 78: Enmity

“Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The reward is the technique, The Sword Follows the Word. The Sword Follows the Word: Within 30 miles, all flying swords can be forcefully summoned to attack the enemy once. The power of the sword depends on the grade of the Flying Sword.”
“Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The reward is the title, The Best Sword Instructor of the Month. Effect 1: In the next 30 days, the effectiveness of the host’s sword cultivation will increase by ten times! Effect 2: The host can directly choose a Foundation Establishment sword art and increase his proficiency by one level
“Please make your decision as soon as possible. If you don’t choose a cultivation method within five minutes, the system will randomly choose it for you.”
Lu Ping was speechless. He only had one Foundation Establishment sword art now!
Fortunately, the Sea Breaking Sword Art was a Foundation Establishment cultivation technique.
He looked at the proficiency of the sword technique.
[Sea Breaking Sword Art (Grade A) – Proficiency C (1520/4000)]
“I choose to increase the Sea Breaking Sword Art!”
“Ding dong! Congratulations to host for increasing the proficiency of the Sea Breaking Sword Art to B (1520/10000)”
Seeing this increase in proficiency, Lu Ping was very satisfied. This was a direct increase of 4000 proficiency points.
At the same time, a large amount of swordsmanship information and comprehension flooded into Lu Ping’s mind.
He stood on the spot and digested it.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Lu Ping to finish absorbing it.
The system was still very powerful.
Most importantly, Lu Ping’s first reward gave his swordsmanship ten times the effect of cultivation. This was what Lu Ping cared about the most.
Lu Ping roughly calculated that if he put in enough effort, he might even be able to directly raise his Sea Breaking Sword Art’s proficiency to A.
Today’s biggest winner, without a doubt, was Lu Ping!
He had led Meng Fan to win the grand swordsmanship competition, and his class had once again completed their monthly assessment with crushing force.
The comments section had already exploded.
“This Lu Ping is so amazing. I want to let my daughter enter Qingzhou Academy too.”
“Although he’s a little arrogant, he’s really capable.”
“It’s a pity that I didn’t see the battle between him and the parent. It’s disappointing.”
“Yeah, it’s such a pity… I came here to see if he would keep his promise if he lost. How could he win so easily?”
“That motto that the children said was so powerful.”
“Lmao, you’re weird!”
“Are you talking about your father?!”
In any case, there were all sorts of things being said in the live broadcast room, so the atmosphere was still very warm.
Xue Luoyan, He Yong, and Wei Minghua stood up and clapped.
Wei Minghua smiled and said, “Lu Ping is not bad, and he’s also quite capable. I didn’t expect his teaching to be so good. I’ll go back and take a look at the surveillance cameras and see how he did it. When the time comes, I’ll promote it.”
Xue Luoyan nodded and said, “Indeed. Later on, make good use of public opinion and push him out for me first. With this atmosphere, our Qingzhou Academy’s star creation plan will officially begin!”
“Alright!” Wei Minghua agreed.
“Mr. He, you should also prepare your side. Three days later, the middle school department will follow suit and do the same!” Xue Luoyan instructed.
He Yong looked at Lu Ping and answered absent-mindedly. His eyes flashed, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
The noise dispersed, and everyone had their own joys and sorrows.
Lu Ping looked on with a smile, but some people were frowning.
Cao Yu was currently in the infirmary with Chen Mu.
In fact, he had heard Lu Ping and Chen Mu’s conversation clearly.
He hadn’t thought much about it just now. Now that he looked at Chen Mu, who was unconscious, he couldn’t help but feel angry.
To put it bluntly, he was a cold person. At first, he had gotten some benefits, so naturally, he was close to Chen Mu. But now, not to mention winning the championship, he hadn’t even gotten eighth place. He felt extremely aggrieved.
Especially after listening to Lu Ping’s words, he naturally felt more resentment than gratitude towards Chen Mu.
Many things were only determined by the outcome.
In the room, Chen Mu opened his eyes. His breathing had already been smoothed out with the help of everyone. It wouldn’t take long for him to recover.
Anger flashed through Chen Mu’s eyes when he saw Cao Yu by the bed.
In Chen Mu’s opinion, Cao Yu’s failure had nothing to do with him. What did it have to do with Cao Yu if he went to protest against his opponent’s weapon? In the end, it was Cao Yu who did not live up to his expectations.
Chen Mu felt that he had lost a lot of face, and he was also unhappy with Cao Yu.
However, he had not completely lost his mind. He was worried about Cao Yu’s mother, Jiang Mei, so he did not scold him.
If it was anyone else, he would have already mocked them.
However, something unexpected happened. Cao Yu complained in a low voice, “Mr. Chen, you clearly said that if I learned this sword technique of yours, I could win the championship! I wasted so much time. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have learned it!”
As soon as he said this, Chen Mu’s eyes seemed to spew fire.
What the hell was this brat talking about?
He had already felt that he had lost a lot of face, and he felt extremely aggrieved.
Now, he was trying to suppress his anger, but Cao Yu was blaming him instead. How could he bear it?
Chen Mu sneered and said, “You’re a piece of trash yourself. What does that have to do with me? Look at you on the field. Did you ever display even the slightest bit of momentum? You were a coward and you lost! If you had blocked Meng Fan’s sword, you would have won!”
However, this was all just talk.
When Cao Yu heard this, he was even more unconvinced.
He was already at the rebellious stage, and had been pampered since he was young. Previously, he had some respect for Chen Mu, and had restrained himself a little. Now that he had lost the match, and Chen Mu had been publicly humiliated by Lu Ping, how could he endure it?
Cao Yu looked at Chen Mu from the corner of his eyes, he said disdainfully, “Mr. Chen, what you said is wrong. If you hadn’t protested, would I have thought I couldn’t beat that Meng Fan? It was because you protested that I thought that Meng Fan’s heavy sword was unbeatable, so I thought I’d exhaust his stamina and spiritual Qi first. Besides, you didn’t tell me how to fight, did you? Mr. Lu said it was your fault, and now you’re calling me trash?”
This kid was using Lu Ping’s words to stab Chen Mu in the heart.
Chen Mu was about to explode from anger.
He was about to open his mouth to refute, when the door opened.
Jiang Mei walked in with an unhappy face. She looked at Cao Yu and said, “Son, who said you’re trash?”
Cao Yu pointed at Chen Mu. He pouted and tears sprung out of his eyes.
“Mom! Not only did Mr. Chen cause me to lose the competition, he also said it was my fault. He said I’m trash!”
Seeing her son cry so sadly, Jiang Mei’s heart ached even more. Her eyebrows stood up, she pointed at Chen Mu and said through gritted teeth, “Mr. Chen, what do you mean? Everyone saw today that it was clearly your fault. Cao Yu lost the competition, and you still have the nerve to insult my son?”
Chen Mu threw caution to the wind.
He suddenly sat up, he sneered. “What the hell? Without me, who the hell is your son? He shouldn’t have participated in the tournament in the first place. If it weren’t for me helping him, he wouldn’t even be able to compete! He is a loser and he won’t be able to achieve anything!”
