On the southern corridor of the courtyard, a figure appeared, and within just a few flickers, he was inside the small yard.
"Instructor."
"Instructor."
"Instructor."
Qi Min, Wu Yun, and Du Li bowed with extreme respect, calling out. The instructor, over one meter ninety tall, had a build like a bear and skin that was dark. The most striking feature was the eight precepts scars on his smooth round head, resembling a monk. He wore a custom-made black suit and stood like a mountain, creating an invisible sense of pressure.
"Hmm." Eight Precepts nodded slightly, maintaining a serious expression, only nodding slightly at Sima Weimin, Sima Weiguo, and Sima Aotian.
"Instructor Eight Precepts." Sima Weiguo and Sima Weimin clasped their fists like Martial Artists.
Sima Mang slightly frowned: "That aura of his is so powerful, could it be Divine Force?"
"I think it very likely is. Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall's strength is really unfathomable." Huang Mo said in a low voice.
"Xiao Mo, we meet again."
Suddenly, a somewhat faint voice sounded.
"Senior Fang."
Lin Mo clasped his fists, showing respect. Half a year ago, when Qingxuan Sect Master's avatar descended into the mortal world to slay Lin Mo, it was this senior who saved him, and Lin Mo naturally respected him.
"What?"
The crowd widened their eyes again. Just now, they hadn't even noticed another person beside Eight Precepts. If the other party hadn't spoken, they wouldn't have been able to detect him as if he was one with the surroundings.
Lin Mo was also slightly surprised. His increased strength now allowed him to notice Fang Tangjing's presence first, but the feeling was somewhat vague and ethereal. Without focusing his attention, he might not have discovered him.
Qi Min, Wu Yun, and Du Li widened their eyes.
Sima Weimin, Sima Weiguo, Sima Mang, and Huang Mo all also widened their eyes tightly, the surrounding light seemed to distort around that person, and he was like a black hole, capable of devouring all the surrounding light.
"You three, why aren't you quickly paying respects to the Master?" Eight Precepts said with a dark face, sternly.
"Master?" Qi Min, Wu Yun, and Du Li glanced at each other, seeing astonishment in each other's eyes.
Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall.
The Master Fang Tangjing, always elusive and unseen.
In Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, every disciple idolized and aimed to emulate the Master, a mythical figure in Martial Arts. However, very few people had ever seen the Master even though they had trained for ten years.
"Greetings, Master."
"Greetings, Master."
"Greetings, Master."
Qi Min, Wu Yun, and Du Li immediately bowed their heads and called out with great respect.
"Hmm."
Fang Tangjing lightly responded.
"Master Fang, why have you come to our Sima Family banquet today?" Sima Aotian stood up and asked.
Facing a strong person of Fang Tangjing's level, figures like Sima Weimin and Sima Weiguo had no opportunity to speak, and only Sima Aotian barely managed to speak with Fang Tangjing.
"I came to find Xiao Mo." Fang Tangjing looked at Lin Mo and said with a smile.
"To find me?"
Lin Mo was momentarily stunned.
"Yes, Xiao Mo, let's have a chat." Fang Tangjing said with a smile.
"Alright."
With that, the two flashed to a relatively secluded spot in the corridor.
"Just now, I sensed two extremely formidable auras, how did they suddenly disappear?"
Eight Precepts stayed in the courtyard, looking at Qi Min and others, frowning as he asked.
Qi Min said, "Indeed, there were two Divine Force Experts earlier, they came looking for trouble with Mr. Lin Lin, but have been slain with one sword by Mr. Lin."
"Hmm?"
Eight Precepts furrowed his thick brows, rubbed his bald head, and shook it with a bitter smile: "This guy is just like the Master, a freak, killing two Divine Force Experts with one sword."
Qi Min, Wu Yun, and Du Li were shocked. Their Master seemed familiar with Lin Mo and treated him with equality.
A corner of the corridor.
Fang Tangjing used True Yuan to form a Qi Shield, preventing their conversation from being overheard.
"Xiao Mo, your power has greatly improved." Fang Tangjing clucked his tongue.
"It's okay, went to the West, and had some small gains," Lin Mo smiled and said.
"Hmm, our Huaxia has gained another Superhuman, which is a good thing." Fang Tangjing nodded and suddenly asked, "Don't you have something you want to know?"
Lin Mo pondered slightly: "Senior Fang, I want to know what the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall and the New Human Plan really are?"
"Haha, I didn't expect you'd also know about the New Human Plan. This plan started secretly being drafted ten years ago, but the time for its announcement has only recently arrived."
Fang Tangjing placed his hands behind his back and suddenly laughed, "As for the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, it's a school I established, prepared for the New Human Plan. Besides our Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, Huaxia has two other Martial Arts Schools, Qilin Martial Arts School and Qing Sima Martial Arts Hall, all at the core of this New Human Plan."
Lin Mo thought silently, perhaps it was because the New Human Plan's disclosure stage had arrived that people like Qi Min, Wu Yun, and Du Li appeared in his view.
"The New Human Plan, simply put, is to cultivate a large number of Superhumans to confront crises."
Fang Tangjing stated with a serious expression, "I reckon you already know a few things from the Western Countries?"
"You mean the Winged People and Blood Clan?" Lin Mo blinked.
"Yes, seems like you've encountered those people. Those people are expected to reappear on Earth massively in a few years, and we Huaxia must prepare for it." Lin Mo said slowly.
It turns out Huaxia had already known about the existence of the Blood Clan and the Winged People, and these people would soon return to Earth, potentially causing a terrifying catastrophe.
However, Lin Mo still had some doubts, like how Huaxia knew these things and why the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, Qilin Martial Arts School, and Qing Sima Martial Arts Hall possessed such formidable power.
"I know you have many questions, but with the Spring Festival approaching, spend some quality time with your friends and family. After the festival, I'll come to find you, take you to the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, and tell you some things." Fang Tangjing said with a serious expression.
"Hmm."
Lin Mo nodded.
Afterward, Lin Mo left with Eight Precepts, Qi Min, and others while Lin Mo returned to the courtyard to continue dining with Sima Zining's family.
After the meal, Sima Aotian summoned Sima Weimin, Sima Weiguo, and others back to the Sima Family villa.
Lin Mo then strolled along the riverside with Sima Zining.
The cool breeze was gentle, the willow branches swayed like silk.
"What did Master Fang visit you for just now?" Sima Zining gently brushed a strand of hair blown onto her forehead behind her glistening earlobe and looked at Lin Mo with her lively clear eyes, softly asking.
"Regarding the New Human Plan and the Three Great Martial Arts Schools."
Lin Mo slightly frowned and replied.
The Three Great Martial Arts Schools were formed by Huaxia's strongest three individuals, with Fang Tangjing only being one of them. The other two Schools' Masters held power on par with Fang Tangjing, which surprised Lin Mo a bit.
It was known that Earth had long been in a state of Spiritual Energy depletion, and to produce a freakish genius like Fang Tangjing was already unimaginable, yet there were actually two others with Divine Force or even greater strength.
"Actually, I've also seen some recent files of the New Human Plan." Sima Zining softly laughed and said.
