The crowd stared at Meng Chao’s face. Soon, a few people’s expressions changed from puzzlement to shock. Then, from shock, it changed to puzzlement once more.

Some people remained ignorant. “Why?”

“Because Mr. Gu and I are both in the martial arts course!” Meng Chao answered with a smile.

One person was finally able to recognize him, and he cried out in surprise. “You’re... Meng Chao?”

The monster controller freshmen who had only heard his name but had never seen him before burst into a ruckus.

‘What’s going on? This Senior Meng isn’t an ace student in the resource course, but a martial arts course freshman?’

Meng Chao had been outstanding in his national college examination and also had a shocking performance during the martial arts course’s admission test. After that, he faded into obscurity, but there were still plenty of people who remembered his name.

They could not understand what was going on. Since he was a martial arts course freshman, why did he appear here and provided them guidance so kindly? He even criticized the Beast Soul Style to the point that it was worth nothing!

Fang Lin remembered some rumors he’d heard and registered what happened. His gaze burned intensely as he said, “So, you’re Meng Chao. I heard that you haven’t had a good time in the martial arts course. Could it be that you want to change courses?”

Everyone started thinking about that.

‘That’s right. He had got most points during the admission test for the martial arts course, but he didn’t choose either of the ace lecturers. I heard that he has been mingling with students from the refresher course all the time. In the end, he didn’t even have the right to join the tournament between freshmen.’

Even though they did not understand the twists and turns, Meng Chao had to have had a hard time. It was only logical then that he wanted to switch courses.

“Meng Chao, if you really want to switch courses, the monster controller course would be your best choice!” Fang Lin was excited. “Your harvesting skills and injury examination skills are really good, and your a.n.a.lysis of defensive and offensive strategies are really logical. You’ve also proven your fighting strength during the national college examination and the admission test. If you can control one or two monsters, you’ll be like a lion with wings!

“Don’t worry, the monster controller course won’t be as blind as the martial arts course. We won’t let a talented person like you fade into obscurity.

“I’m working in the monster controller course’s student council, and my words hold weight with a few lecturers. I believe that they will definitely take active action in communicating with the martial arts course after they hear of what you did today and will definitely help you switch courses!”

Fang Lin’s thoughts went off the rail.

He thought that Meng Chao had been showing off in front of them because he wanted to be regarded with value and switch to the monster controller course.

“Thanks for the kind words, Senior Fang, but I’m having a good time in the martial arts course. I’ve never thought about switching courses. I came to the resource course today to help.” Meng Chao rejected his offer.

“Why?” Fang Lin was stunned. “Didn’t you just say that there is a fatal weakness in the Beast Soul Style?”

“That’s right, but I also said that the Beast Soul Style isn’t supposed to be spoken at the same wavelength as the martial arts course!”

Meng Chao swept his gaze over the crowd, and as if he was talking about something objective, he stated calmly, “Besides, the monster controller technique also has a fatal weakness. It might even be worse than that of the Beast Soul Style. It’d be meaningless even if I switched to the monster controller course.”

“What?!”

The monster controller freshmen were stunned for three seconds before they glared at Meng Chao.

Even though they were grateful to him, they would not allow him to throw such careless remarks about their fighting ideals.

“You don’t have to be angry. I’m not speaking without reason,” Meng Chao said calmly. “First, it’s the problem with your synchronization rate. Even if you train your mental power to the max, when you connect a human brain to a monster’s brain, you face lag and interference. It’s impossible for you to achieve 100% synchronization rate. This means that the biochemical beasts will never be able to carry out the orders given by their monster controllers perfectly.

“Second, you share your senses. This might improve the monster controller’s senses, but you need to deal with an additional amount of information as well. You can’t mult.i.task. And when your biochemical beast is attacked, you need to endure extra pain. The fluctuation in your mental strength index is higher than among those of the other fighting occupations.

“Third, when you control your biochemical beasts, your brains open a lot of mental ports, and it’s far easier for your brainwaves to be captured, a.n.a.lysed, and permeated. You can also experience interference. The superbeasts skilled in mind attacks and mind control love fighters of your type.

“Fourth, the strength of the biochemical beasts limits your fighting strength. Your biochemical beasts also limit your strategies.

“The simplest example I can come up with is that many of the high-grade biochemical beasts who are large and have astonishing fighting strength also have large appet.i.tes. They need a lot of unique food.

“Now, we have the city behind us, and we’re mainly fighting defensive wars. It’s pretty easy for us to obtain food, but we’re going to start a brand new offense. We’re going to launch counterattacks, and our armies will be venturing into the fog. You’ll have to bring your biochemical beasts into the fog for half a month to hunt, launch guerilla warfare, ambushes, and sneak into the nests of the enemies. Even if you can handle it, can your biochemical beasts handle it?”

His words left the monster controller freshmen speechless.

Fang Lin frowned and said, “Meng Chao, there isn’t a perfect weapon, skill, or fighting style in the world. We can’t give up eating for fear of choking, after all. There is indeed a weakness in the monster controller technique, but over the past ten years, the monster controller course has been suppressing the martial arts course. This is fact. As a martial arts course student, you can’t deny this fact, can you?”

“I didn’t deny it. I haven’t said anything against it when you were happily cursing the Beast Soul Style, but that’s because you were very logical in what you said.” Meng Chao shrugged. “But you can’t prove that the monster controller technique is correct and powerful just because you won against the highly defective Beast Soul Style in an arena. In any case, in my eyes, the Beast Soul Style and monster controller technique are both—”

He noticed that there were more than ten monster controller course students staring at him with hostile eyes.

He thought about it and decided to speak a little more tactfully. “They’re both fighting styles that can effectively compliment the future mainstream fighting style!”

“So, what’s the ‘mainstream fighting style of the future’?” Fang Lin sneered. “The Overkill Style?”

“Of course it’s not the Overkill Style. Instead, it’s next year’s main project of Agricultural University’s martial arts course. It’s the Ultimate Style that the future Deity Realm Gu Jianbo has created after working painstakingly on it for more than ten years while leading a moral life!”

While Meng Chao spoke, he slammed his right leg on the dissection table and rolled up his pants. He said gravely, “Everyone, open your eyes and behold!”

The monster controller course students and resource course students all sucked in a cold breath and stared at his thigh.

The storage was silent for a full minute.

The crowd kept staring, but they saw nothing.

Fang Lin could not help but ask, “What did you want us to see?”

“Didn’t you see?” Meng Chao said. “I poured my spirit energy into four branch meridians in my legs and had it gush out of my pore to tie a knot with ONE hair.”

Fang Lin did not know what to say, even though he had a litany of things to say.

He had been really angry just now and wanted to argue with Meng Chao, but for some reason, when he faced Meng Chao wo behaved this way, he suddenly found himself not able to be angry and murderous.

“Alright, looks like I can’t make you understand the profound nature of branch meridian cultivation by using this method. It’s also impossible for you to see the outline of the future fighting style.” Meng Chao pulled his leg back and stared at the monster controller freshmen with an intense gaze. He smiled and said, “Since you came here for an injury examination and found your mistakes as well as oversights, you must be eager to practice the correct strategy, right? Come, let’s have an academic exchange.”

The monster controller freshmen looked at each other. They could not quite tell what he was thinking.

After some time, one of them said hesitantly, “Are you actually feeling indignant about the results of the tournament? Our lecturer forbid us from fighting against the martial arts course over the next few days, because your Four Great Kings were beaten up really badly by Wu Wu. The lecturers are worried that both sides will be too worked up, and if we fight, we won’t be able to control ourselves. We are to calm down for a few days before doing anything.”

“Do I look worked up to you?” Meng Chao had a sincere, friendly, and cordial smile on his face. He said honestly, “Regardless of whether you have Wu Wu or not, it’s not strange for the Beast Soul Style to lose to monster controller technology. There’s nothing for me to feel indignant about. I don’t have other intentions. I really just want to spar with you and show you the foremost ideals of the new martial art.

“If you’re worried about being scolded by your lecturers, it’s fine, we’ll borrow an old material storage from the resource course and shut the doors for the exchange. You should know that there are no windows in the storage rooms here. The reinforced concrete walls are really thick as well. No matter how fiercely we fight inside, the people outside won’t be able to hear.

“There’s plenty of you around, and I’m alone. Are you really worried that you won’t be able to control the situation?”

“Well...” The monster controller freshmen were tempted.

With how famous Meng Chao was, he was indeed one of the targets they really wanted to defeat.

He had formed really well-reasoned arguments for his strategies just now, but there were always plenty of people who were armchair strategists. They wondered whether his fists were as great as his tongue.

“I know that when students challenge each other, they like using monster coins as betting chips. I’m short on money, and I can only bring out ten thousand monster coins. I hope you won’t find it too little.” Meng Chao looked at them with a grin. “Of course, you have just gone through the tournament between courses, so many of you are injured. You also have to form new mental links with your new biochemical beasts. If we compete this way, it’s not quite fair.

“The tournament between courses was a back-to-back tournament, and the winner had to be continuously challenged by the loser. Your Wu Wu fought against seven people and won against seven people in the martial arts course in a row, right?

“So I’ll force myself to fight against ten of you in a row. If I lose even one battle, my ten thousand monster coins will be yours, and I will take back my words about there being fatal weaknesses in the monster controller technology. How does that sound?”

“What?!”

“Are you joking?”

“You’re going to fight against ten people? Even those fighting in back-to-back fights won’t be able to handle it!”

Many of the monster controller freshmen jumped up. They were angry and worked up. Their faces turned red.

It has to be known that those who had the right to receive injury examinations from the resource course were all outstanding students from among the near one thousand of them in the monster controller course. Only ten were chosen, which was the epitome of what it meant to be one out of a hundred.

During the tournament between courses, even the Four Great Kings from the martial arts course would not dare to say that they could win ten rounds in a go. Even they had a hard time winning three rounds.

Only monsters like Wu Wu, who had grown up in the wild and experienced a lot of hardships, were able to create the miracle of winning against seven people in a row.

As for Meng Chao, while they had heard that he was very outstanding during the admission test for the martial arts course, he used his head and strategies to get that score. They had never heard word that his physical strength was outstanding.

It was impossible for him to win ten rounds in a row!
