Chapter 504 The Origin of Physiognomy!
Fang Yu didn’t speak, just looked at Chu Fan with a smile.
The so-called physiognomy is essentially a branch of magical arts. More than three thousand years ago, a Hetiqi cultivator who claimed to be the founder of physiognomy developed a cultivation method different from others and established the Xiang Sect.
Today’s physiognomy in the Nine Provinces Nation all originates from the Xiang Sect.
But in those years, the Xiang Sect was neither popular nor unpopular, just an ordinary fourth-grade sect, and physiognomy did not flourish.
However, the Xiang Sect had strong vitality, surviving the great war of the sect world. Even five hundred years ago, Fang Yu had still seen cultivators from the Xiang Sect.
From five hundred years ago until today, although Fang Yu hadn’t seen any true cultivators from the Xiang Sect, he had met many so-called physiognomists who mastered the art.
The Chu Fan before him was one of them.
As for physiognomy, Fang Yu had once studied it for a while out of boredom.
For outsiders, physiognomy is indeed an extremely mysterious art.
But once you enter the door, you’ll find it’s nothing special.
It’s just a more complex form of fate manipulation arts.
By obtaining items contaminated with someone’s bodily aura, one can alter that person’s fate. From this perspective, it’s similar to gu sorcery.
Ordinary physiognomists, due to their limited abilities, can only make small manipulations, with very limited ability to twist fate, at most making someone have bad luck and encounter unfortunate events for a short time.
The ultimate level of physiognomy is said to be able to forcibly transform a person’s fate pattern, commonly known as defying heaven to change one’s destiny.
Of course, Fang Yu didn’t believe this.
Even peak Tribulation Realm powerhouses still need to pass through the thunder tribulation to shed their mortal bodies and ascend to immortality.
How could the founder of physiognomy, merely a Hetiqi cultivator, develop an art that could defy heaven and change fate?
The entire classroom fell into an awkward atmosphere.
Chu Fan stood in place, looking incredulous.
Beside him, Cao Zhuang lowered his head, his ears turning red.
All the students in the classroom stared directly at these two, with some covering their mouths and snickering.
“Damn, they sounded so impressive earlier, I thought they really had some skills, but they’re just here to make fools of themselves…”
“Yeah, physiognomy family… read too many novels, huh?”
“Haha… twenty years old and still so childish, so eager to show off, it’s really laughable.”
These voices were neither loud nor soft, but clearly audible in the quiet environment.
Cao Zhuang was someone who cared greatly about face, and now being laughed at by so many classmates was no different from public execution for him.
Especially with Tang Xiaorou present!
This made him feel even more mortified!
“Chu Fan, you bastard! You’ve ruined me!”
Cao Zhuang cursed inwardly.
Seeing their embarrassed expressions, Fang Yu found it amusing.
These kids nowadays, learning a bit of superficial knowledge and using it to do bad things, they needed to be taught a lesson.
“What’s your name?” Fang Yu looked at Chu Fan and asked.
Chu Fan looked up at Fang Yu and answered, “Chu Fan.”
Fang Yu nodded and said, “Student Chu, next time be more rigorous with your questions. After all, our course is called Literature and Writing, not Feng Shui Studies.”
Laughter erupted around them.
“Sit down,” Fang Yu said.
Cao Zhuang immediately sat down, while Chu Fan stared at Fang Yu for two or three seconds before sitting down.
“Let’s continue with the class. Does anyone have a more substantial question?” Fang Yu said as he walked back to the podium.
…
The class quickly ended.
After class, Fang Yu received a call from Qin Lang.
“Mr. Fang, do you have time later?” Qin Lang asked.
“What’s the matter?” Fang Yu asked.
“Prince Joyce of the Nordic Royal Family arrived in Xiang City this morning. I met with him and talked for a while. He said he would like to meet you,” Qin Lang said.
“Meet me? What’s his attitude?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
“…His attitude is very friendly, and he guarantees he won’t make a move against you. He just wants to meet you,” Qin Lang said.
“Friendly?” Fang Yu was puzzled.
He had beaten Prince Joyce’s two sons so badly and absorbed the holy power from their bodies, making the Nordic Royal Family lose face completely. Prince Joyce should want to kill him, right? How could he maintain a friendly attitude?
“Do you think I should go?” Fang Yu thought for a moment and asked.
Qin Lang was silent for a while before saying, “I also find it strange, but Prince Joyce personally guaranteed to me that he won’t conflict with you, which I believe is credible. His main purpose for coming to Xiang City is to discuss cooperation with several families… he probably doesn’t want unnecessary complications.”
“Meeting each other might allow you to settle things and avoid future trouble.”
“Of course, if you don’t want to meet him, I’ll explain that to him.”
“What time?” Fang Yu asked.
“Six o’clock this afternoon. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of your residential area,” Qin Lang said.
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Fang Yu leisurely walked out of the school gate.
Actually, he didn’t care about Prince Joyce’s attitude at all; he was just curious about the Nordic Royal Family.
Because both brothers, Ares and Apollo, had released holy aura to varying degrees.
Their family seemed to have some real connection to divinity.
Additionally, the self-proclaimed Death God, Adams, whom he encountered in the Far North, also emitted a holy aura.
Moreover, when the Nordic Royal Family was mentioned, Adams’ emotions fluctuated greatly, clearly indicating he had some connection with them as well.
These puzzles might be answered at tonight’s meeting.
…
“Chu Fan, what are you doing!?” On the way back to the dormitory, Cao Zhuang glared at Chu Fan beside him and angrily questioned.
Chu Fan walked with his head down, brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.
“Damn it, I offered a high price of 100,000 yuan, and you agreed at the time. Why did you play me like this?” Cao Zhuang said, his eyes red with anger.
Seeing Chu Fan still not responding, Cao Zhuang couldn’t contain his anger and directly grabbed Chu Fan’s collar.
“I’m talking to you! Are you deaf?” Cao Zhuang shouted.
“Bang!”
Chu Fan suddenly raised his foot and kicked Cao Zhuang flying.
Despite having the character “strong” in his name, Cao Zhuang never exercised and was physically weak.
Chu Fan’s kick sent him flying two or three meters away.
Cao Zhuang clutched his abdomen, crying out in pain.
Chu Fan walked forward, grabbed Cao Zhuang’s collar, and lifted him up.
“You’re really noisy.”
Chu Fan’s eyes were cold as he spoke in a chilling voice.
Cao Zhuang’s face turned pale as he urgently said, “Chu Fan, put me down first…”
“As for Fang Yu, I’ll get even with him myself. Don’t chatter beside me,” Chu Fan said, throwing Cao Zhuang to the ground.
Cao Zhuang landed on his buttocks, screaming in pain, and collapsed on the ground clutching his rear.
Chu Fan gave the fallen Cao Zhuang a cold look before walking away.
As he walked, Chu Fan took out a black hair strand from his pocket.
It was the hair that Fang Yu had handed to him in class.
Chu Fan pinched the hair between two fingers, a venomous glint flashing in his eyes.
…
Xiang City Martial Arts Association, main hall building.
Zhao Jidao and other senior members gathered again.
Another important figure was coming!
Compared to the previous visit of Zuo Hongru, this time the scale was even larger!
The Xuanwu Group of Yan City Martial Arts Association had sent four Guardian Masters to Xiang City!
Therefore, Zhao Jidao didn’t even bother waiting in the conference room, instead leading all the senior members to the main entrance of the hall to respectfully await the four masters.
Besides the people from Xiang City Martial Arts Association, Ma Fan’s team was also among them, waiting together.
While waiting, Zhao Jidao engaged in conversation with Ma Fan.
“Captain Ma, is the primary task of the four masters coming to Xiang City to arrest Fang Yu… or to help us solve the problem of berserk martial artists?” Zhao Jidao asked cautiously.
Ma Fan glanced at Zhao Jidao and said, “My mission is to assist you, but I don’t know the specific tasks of the four Guardian Masters.”
“However, having the four Guardian Masters help solve the berserk martial artist problem would be overkill. These berserk martial artists aren’t that strong; my team can basically handle them.”
“Individual berserk martial artists have never been the problem. The issue is that these berserk martial artists hide during the day and appear in groups at night, attacking crowded places, which is difficult for us to counter…” Zhao Jidao said.
“That’s your job—to find where the berserk martial artists are hiding or to locate the source. You can’t expect us to do everything for you, can you?” Ma Fan frowned and said.
