Chapter 331 Old Monster Fang Yu?

The girl was wearing a mid-level security personnel uniform with her hair tied in a ponytail.

As she fell, the stack of paper documents in her hand scattered across the ground.

Fang Yu glanced at them and noticed an admission letter from Nandu University among the documents.

It seemed this girl was a freshman who had arrived at the school early.

The girl supported herself with both hands, struggling to get up from the ground, and then began picking up the documents scattered in front of her.

One white sheet of paper had fallen right under Fang Yu’s foot.

The girl finally looked up at Fang Yu and said softly, “Excuse me, fellow student…”

Her face was completely free of makeup, showing her natural appearance. Yet her skin was so fair it seemed to glow.

Her features were exquisite, with eyes like a painting, clear black and white pupils, pure as water.

Two sophomore boys happened to pass by, and when they saw the girl’s face, their eyes widened and they couldn’t move.

“What a pure and beautiful girl! Which department is she from? I’ve never seen her before…”

“Look at her mid-level security uniform, she must be a new freshman. Otherwise, with her level of beauty, she would already be famous on campus!”

“A new freshman… should we go help her?”

While the two were talking, Fang Yu glanced at the girl and moved his foot away from the paper.

“Thank you.”

The girl immediately crouched down and picked up the document.

Fang Yu turned and was about to continue walking.

But at that moment, the girl called out to him: “Excuse me, could you wait a moment?”

Fang Yu turned back, looking at the girl with confusion, and asked, “What is it?”

“Could you tell me where the administration building is?” the girl asked politely.

“Oh, it’s in that direction,” Fang Yu said, pointing outside the campus path.

The girl’s beautiful brow furrowed slightly. She looked in the direction Fang Yu was pointing, then turned back and pleaded, “Could you take me there? This is my first time at Nandu University, and I’ve already gone the wrong way several times…”

Fang Yu looked at the girl, his eyes flickering slightly.

“Alright, follow me.”

Then, under the envious and jealous gazes of the two sophomore boys, the girl followed behind Fang Yu, walking toward the administration building.

“I hate this! If I had appeared at this spot two minutes earlier, this freshman would be following me now!”

“It’s all your fault! You insisted on going to the convenience store, otherwise we would have met this freshman at just the right time!”

“How is this my fault?”

…

“My name is Song Liuge. May I ask what your name is…”

On the way to the administration building, the girl looked at Fang Yu and asked softly.

“My name is Fang Yu,” Fang Yu answered.

“Oh, Fang Yu.” Song Liuge nodded and asked, “Are you an upperclassman? Which department are you in?”

Fang Yu shook his head and said, “I’m not an upperclassman. To be precise, I’m not a student.”

“Not a student?” Song Liuge was startled.

“That’s right, I’m a visiting professor in the Literature Department,” Fang Yu said.

Visiting professor?

Song Liuge looked at Fang Yu with wide eyes, thinking he was joking.

But Fang Yu’s expression was serious, without any hint of humor.

Yet Fang Yu looked so young, appearing to be a sophomore at most. How could he possibly be a visiting professor?

“Don’t worry about it. You can just assume I’m joking,” Fang Yu said.

“Oh.” Song Liuge looked confused, nodded, and said, “I’m also in the Literature Department, majoring in Ancient Chinese Literature. If you weren’t joking, I’ll be taking your class later.”

Fang Yu stopped talking and continued leading Song Liuge forward.

“That building ahead is the administration building.”

After walking a short distance, Fang Yu pointed to a building ahead and said.

“Great, thank you, Professor Fang, for showing me the way,” Song Liuge said playfully. “I’ll definitely repay you later by treating you to a meal.”

“No need to wait until later, let’s do it now. I haven’t had lunch yet and I’m a bit hungry,” Fang Yu said.

Song Liuge was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Sure, wait for me here. I’ll finish the paperwork quickly.”

With that, Song Liuge turned and jogged toward the administration building.

Fang Yu watched her retreating figure, his eyes narrowing slightly.

…

Due to the deliberate cover-up by the major martial arts families, the news of the Zheng family’s downfall wasn’t sensational and hadn’t spread to other regions.

This news only circulated in the undercurrents of the Huaibei martial arts world, with no one daring to speak openly about it.

At the Han family residence, in the study.

A long-haired man sat on the sofa in the study.

This man appeared to be in his prime, around thirty or forty years old, but his long hair was silver-white.

Han Qi stood in front of the man, slightly bowing, his expression extremely respectful.

This man was the true pillar of the Han family and one of the strongest Martial Venerable in Huaibei, the Han family’s Grand Elder, Han Tianci!

“…Grand Elder, I have already detailed everything I saw. Do you have any other questions?” Han Qi asked.

Han Tianci didn’t speak, his gaze thoughtful.

Han Qi also remained silent, standing still.

After a moment of silence, Han Tianci asked, “Do you think there might be another soul residing in Fang Yu’s body?”

Hearing this question, Han Qi frowned slightly and said, “Grand Elder, from my few close encounters with Fang Yu, I don’t think he shows the typical signs of someone possessed by another soul. Logically, people with two souls usually appear mentally weak. But Fang Yu… doesn’t give me that impression.”

“There’s another possibility—that Fang Yu’s original soul has been completely erased by the soul of that powerful figure, leaving only the powerful one’s soul in his body. That would make him appear normal. Otherwise, it’s hard to explain how Fang Yu possesses such powerful abilities at such a young age…” Han Qi continued.

“Why do you think he’s young?” Han Tianci raised an eyebrow and asked.

Hearing this question, Han Qi was stunned and answered, “He looks no more than twenty…”

“How old do I look?” Han Tianci smiled and asked.

Han Qi’s expression changed as he understood Han Tianci’s meaning.

“Qi, the martial arts world of the Nine Provinces has developed countless techniques over the years, including many related to appearance. While we cannot forcibly extend our lifespan, we can maintain a youthful appearance,” Han Tianci said slowly.

Han Tianci spoke with certainty because he himself had cultivated similar techniques, allowing him to maintain the appearance of a thirty-year-old despite being over eighty.

“Fang Yu was able to kill Zheng Yan, who was ascending to Martial Saint. His strength must be at least one level above Zheng Yan’s,” Han Tianci said, his eyes sharp. “I deduce that his power may have already reached the peak of Martial Saint.”

Peak Martial Saint!?

Han Qi’s expression changed dramatically.

For him, this realm was virtually unattainable!

In the current era, for a martial artist to break through to Martial Saint within a limited lifespan was extremely difficult.

Without sufficient luck and effort, it was impossible!

And after ascending to the Martial Saint realm, how many more years of effort would it take to reach the ceiling of that realm?

To use a nearby example, Grand Elder Han Tianci had taken forty years to progress from entering the Martial Venerable realm to reaching its peak!

A full forty years just to touch the ceiling of the Martial Venerable realm!

If Fang Yu truly was at the peak of Martial Saint, how old was he really?

“If my deduction is correct… Fang Yu must be an ancient monster who has lived for at least two hundred years,” Han Tianci said gravely.

“Two hundred years!? Can humans live that long?” Han Qi asked in shock.

“Hmm… I’m not certain either. All we know is that the higher one’s martial realm, the longer their lifespan. But when it comes to individuals, there are differences. Some people break through to Martial Venerable but still don’t live past one hundred. Others easily live beyond one hundred and twenty years,” Han Tianci explained.

“Over two hundred years… no wonder he’s so powerful,” Han Qi swallowed hard and said with difficulty.

Han Tianci stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly remembering something, he turned to Han Qi and asked, “How is Chen Luo, that prodigy from the Chen family, progressing now?”
