Chapter 85: Hot-blooded and cold-blooded


“These two brothers really aren’t on good terms,” Yao Hong mumbled.


“This Fang Yuan is too cruel, treating his brother like this,” many people frowned unhappily.


“方源太凶残了，勒索我们的元石整整一年！现在把他的亲弟弟都成这个样子。”学员们咬牙切齿，方源如今的冷酷，激发了他们的同仇敌忾。


“Fang Yuan is too savage, extorting our primeval stones for an entire year! Now he’s treating his brother like this,” the students gritted their teeth. Fang Yuan’s coldness forced out their hatred towards a common enemy.


“方正，站起来，站起来！打倒方源。”不知道是哪个学员叫了一声。


“Fang Zheng, stand up, stand up! Defeat Fang Yuan.” Some unknown student shouted.

“打倒方源，打倒方源！”瞬间，无数的少年开始响应。


“Defeat Fang Yuan, defeat Fang Yuan!” Instantly, many youngsters shouted.

“这个方源，果然是个令人讨厌的家伙。”漠颜冷哼一声，有些幸灾乐祸。


“This Fang Yuan, is indeed a hated person.” Mo Yan snorted, enjoy his predicament.

“方正，加油啊，站起来！打倒方源这个魔鬼！”


“Fang Zheng, hang in there, stand up! Defeat this monster Fang Yuan!”

“方正，站起来，我们挺你。”


“Fang Zheng, stand up. We’re with you.”

“方正，加油，加油！”


“Fang Zheng, gambatte, gambatte!”

群情激奋，一句句的呐喊声，传到方正的耳朵中。


The crowd cheered on fiercely, and sounds of encouragement entered Fang Zheng’s ears.


呼！呼！呼！呼！

Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!

方正狠狠地喘着粗气，这些声音传入了他的心中，带给了他一个无形的力量！


Fang Zheng gasped heavily. As the sounds entered his heart it gave him an unimaginable strength!


一幕幕的过去，又重新浮现在他的脑海里。


The scenes of the past played in his head.


大街上，族人们指指点点。


On the streets, the clansmen’s comments.


“那个就是方源，未来的天才，不容小觑啊！”


“That’s Fang Yuan, the future genius, he is not to be underestimated!”


“他身后是谁？”


“Who’s that behind him?”

“哦，应该是方源的弟弟吧，不知道叫什么名字。”


“Oh, probably his brother, who knows what his name is.”


……

舅父舅母笑着：“方源，现在整个山寨都在讨论你最新创作的诗词呢！很好，舅父舅母为你感到骄傲。”


Uncle and aunt laughed, “Fang Yuan, now the entire village is discussing the new poem you wrote! This is very good, uncle and aunt are proud of you.”

方源摆手，脸色平淡：“只是即兴创作，有感而发罢了。”


Fang Yuan waved his hand, saying calmly, “I only made those on a whim.”


舅父舅母连连点头，对方正道：“好好学学你的哥哥，你要是有你哥哥一半的优秀，我们也不担心了。”


Uncle and aunt nodded, saying to Fang Zheng, “Learn well from your brother, if you are half as talented as your brother, we would not have to worry.”

……

月夜下，庭院深深。


Under the moonlight, deep in the courtyard.


族长古月博望着方正，柔和地道：“方正，要有自信啊。你要发现你自己，相信你自己。”


Clan leader Gu Yue Bo looked at Fang Zheng, saying gently, “Fang Zheng, have confidence. You must find your purpose, BELIEVE in yourself.”


“可是，族长大人……”


“But, sir clan leader……”

古月博拍拍他的肩膀，鼓励道：“心中的阴影，别人都难以为你排解。只有靠你自己，我期待着那一天。”


Gu Yue Bo patted his shoulders, encouraging, “The shadow in your heart, others cannot dispel it for you. You can only rely on yourself. I await that day.”

……

年末考核的前夜。


The night before the year end exam.

沈翠站在灯光下，含情脉脉地看着方正：“公子，我相信你一定能取得第一的。我一直坚信着这一点！加油哦！”


Shen Cui looked at Fang Zheng with love in her gaze under the lamp lights, “Young master, I believe that you can get number one. I have always believed it! Work hard!”


……

早晨离别时分。


The morning before departure.

舅父舅母站在门口相送：“方正啊，过了年末考核，你就走出学堂了。能看到你成长，我们都很非常欣慰！去吧，让所有人都看看甲等的优异！”


Uncle and aunt stood at the doorstep, “Fang Zheng, after the year end exam, you would be leaving the academy. Seeing your growth, we are very happy! Go, go and show everyone the strength of an A grade!”


还有……


And…...

夕阳下，昏暗的角落里，一位女同窗在嘤嘤地哭泣着：“补贴每次都只有三块元石，被方源抢走一块，我就只剩下两块。我的月光蛊快喂养不起了。”


Under the setting sun, in a dark corner, a female classmate cried profusely, “The allowance is only three primeval stones, but Fang Yuan snatched a piece away, leaving me with two. I am almost unable to feed my Moonlight Gu at this rate.”


方正心软：“这是我的元石，借给你吧。”


Fang Zheng’s heart softened, “This is my primeval stone, I’ll lend it to you.”

女同窗接过元石，双眼含泪：“方正你真是太好了，请你一定要击败你的哥哥，让他再也不能作恶学堂！”


The female classmate took the primeval stone, saying with tears, “Fang Zheng, you are too nice, please defeat your brother and end his tyranny in the academy!”

方正沉默着。


Fang Zheng was silent.

一群同窗不知什么时候，出现在了他的面前。


A bunch of classmates appeared in front of him.


“方正，你是甲等资质，一定能行的。”


“Fang Zheng, you are an A grade talent, you can do it.”


“方源太可恶了，一直欺压我们。你是我们的唯一希望啊。”


“Fang Yuan is too much, constantly bullying us, you are our only hope.”


“方正，从今天起，我们都跟着你混了。我们都支持你！”


“Fang Zheng, from today onwards, we’re with you, we will always support you!”


“大家……”方正环视左右，看着一双双殷切期盼的眸子，一时间感动得说不出话来。


“Everyone……” Fang Zheng observed the surroundings, seeing the concerned pairs of eyes, and felt extremely touched.


……

大家……


Everyone...


大家一直在期待着我。


Everyone has expectations of me.


同窗们，舅父舅母，沈翠，还有族长大人！


My classmates, uncle, aunt, Shen Cui, and sir clan leader!


大家都等待着我，都看着我，都支持着我……


Everyone is waiting for me, looking at me, supporting me…...

我怎么能输？怎么能在这里倒下？怎么可以！


How can I lose? How can I fall here? How can I!

咚，咚，咚，咚。


Boom, boom, boom, boom. Fang Zheng awoke as the MC!!


His heart pounded in his chest, and Fang Zheng’s eyes shone with MAIN CHARACTER brilliance.

我不能在这里倒下！


I cannot fall here!

我要打破阴影，我要站起来！！


I will dispel the shadow and stand up!!


方正的双拳紧紧地握起来，疼痛在这一刻离他远去，他感到胸膛中似乎有一只雄狮，从沉睡中觉醒，张开巨口开始咆哮！


Fang Zheng’s fists were tightly clenched, no longer feeling any pain at this point. He felt a lion in his chest, awakening from its sleep and opening its huge mouth to roar!

滚烫的热血在他的体内沸腾。


Hot-blood boiled in his body.

站起来，站起来!


Stand up, stand up!


立つ! 立つ!

打破阴影，打破黑暗！

Break the shadows, break the darkness!

“啊啊啊啊！”方正张口呐喊，他的身上开始浮现出翠绿的晶莹玉光。

“Kamehamehaaaaaaaa!” Fang Zheng opened his mouth wide to shout, his body starting to emit a jade light.

“那是什么？”人群一静。

“What’s that?” The crowd silenced.

“竟然是玉皮蛊！”不知谁叫了一声。

“Jade skin Gu!” Someone shouted.

轰！

Bam!

学员们爆发出冲天的呼喊。

The students roared towards the heavens

“方正，加油啊！”

“Fang Zheng, ganbatte!”

“方正，我们挺你！”

“Fang Zheng, we have your back!”

最后只剩下一个口号——“站起来，站起来！”

Finally only one last cheer remained--- “Stand up! Stand up!

“大家……你们的呼喊声我听到了。”方正以拳抵地，一口钢牙几乎要被咬碎，方源的压力似乎不那么强了，他真的缓慢地，一步步地坚强地撑了起来。

“Everyone….. I can hear your voices.” Fang Zheng clenched his fist, his teeth almost crushed, Fang Yuan’s pressure was no longer so imposing, he could finally, get up, slowly and steadily.

呼喊声更盛。

The shouting intensified.

“真是热血沸腾啊！”

“Sasuga shounen anime!”

“要翻盘了。”

“He’s going to do a comeback.”

一个个的蛊师们，听着这样的呐喊声，呼啸声，也开始纷纷动容。

Gu masters hearing such cheers and excitement from the crowd, were all moved.

“对，方正，就是这样！站起来吧，站起来吧，抛开过去，抛开阴影，站起来的你，将是一个全新的你！”族长双眼精芒四射，在心中为方正默默打气。

“That’s right, Fang Zheng, that’s right! Stand up, stand up, abandon the past, dispel the shadow, and stand up, you will become a new person!” Clan leader’s eyes shone with bright light as he cheered Fang Zheng on in his heart.

“居然是玉皮蛊……”方源眼帘垂下，他收了脚，看着方正一步步站起来，玉皮蛊的光辉把他的脸映照成一片绿色。

“Jade skin Gu……” Fang Yuan’s eyes drooped, he pulled back his leg, and saw Fang Zheng stand up slowly, the jade skin Gu’s radiance turning his face green. (怎么头顶绿绿的... I bet u don’t get the joke）

方正一直隐藏着玉皮蛊这个底牌，并没有张扬，因此旁人一直都不知晓。

Fang Zheng was actually hiding this trump card, and did not reveal to anyone, thus nobody knew about it.

“方正站起来了！”欢呼声如山洪奔流一般，炸裂开来。

“Fang Zheng got up!” The crowds’ cheers exploded.

“站起来了！”族长目光灼灼，也情不自禁从座位上站了起来。在这一刻，他看到了一个甲等天才的毅然决然的崛起！他看到了古月一族的光明未来！

“He stood up!” Clan leader was moved, uncontrollably standing up from his seat, at this moment, he saw the rise of an A grade talent! He saw the future of the Gu Yue clan!

“我站起来了，哥哥，我要击败你！”方正双目燃烧这斗志的火焰，他的全身都笼罩着晶莹的绿光，像是披了一层璀璨的翠玉战甲！

“I stood up, brother, I will defeat you!” Fang Zheng’s eyes burned with determination, his entire body enveloped in bright green light, like he was wear a jade armor!

“哇哦，这身防御，就算是月刃也洞穿不了。看来方正要胜利喽。”药红扬起眉头，吹了一个口哨。

“Oh wow, this defense, even the moonblade can’t pierce it. It seems Fang Zheng wins.” Yao Hong raised her brows, blowing a whistle.

“的确。哪怕方源有小光蛊增幅月刃，打在这层玉光防御上，顶多是造成方正体内真元的加倍消耗。比拼真元的消耗，方源根本就不是方正的对手。这场战斗之后，方正将崛起了！”青书淡淡地笑着。

“Indeed, even with the little light Gu’s reinforcement, hitting on this barrier, it would only cause Fang Zheng’s primeval essence to be consumed faster. But comparing primeval essence expenditure, Fang Yuan is no match for Fang Zheng. After this match, Fang Zheng is going to rise!” Qing Shu laughed lightly.

“方正竟然有一只玉皮蛊，到现在才想起来使用它。看来先前方源的强势突击，将他打蒙了。不过现在，胜利已经在向他招手了。”漠颜抱臂旁观，微微的目光闪烁不定。

“Fang Zheng had a jade skin Gu, but only used it now. It seems Fang Yuan’s earlier attacks confused him. But now, victory is already waving towards him.” Mo Yan folded her arms, her gaze slightly uncertain.

时间仿佛在此刻静止下来。

Time seem to have paused.

擂台上，兄弟俩面对面地站着。

On the stage, the brothers faced each other.

两人的距离是这样的近，又是那样的远。

The two’s distance was so close yet so far.

方正一脸的坚毅，而方源面色依旧冷漠。

Fang Zheng’s determination, Fang Yuan’s aloofness.

“弟弟……”他平静地望着方正，嘴角挂起一丝冷笑，“想要击败我，你还差得远呢。”

“Little brother......” He looked at Fang Zheng peacefully, his lips curling into a smirk: “To defeat me, you’re still far from it.”

他高高地举起右拳，右臂舒展，几乎拉成了一个弓。

He raised his right hand, his right arm flexing, pulling into a bow shape.

“哥哥，你输定了！”方正看着方源举起的拳头，心中有些好笑。

“Brother, you’ve lost!” Fang Zheng felt amused seeing Fang Yuan’s fist.

只要自己真元充足，就算是小光蛊增幅过的月刃，也不能击破这层玉光防御，更何况你的拳头？除非你利用花豕蛊或者蛮力天牛蛊，使你的力量猛地大增。不过就算这样，你也得需要一只防御性的蛊虫……

As long as he had primeval essence, even with the little light Gu’s reinforcement, moonblade could not break the jade colour barrier, not to mention his fist? Unless he used the flower boar Gu or the brute force longhorn beetle Gu, to raise his strength. But even so, he would need a defensive type Gu…...

方源没有说话，他用拳头做出了最直接的应答。

Fang Yuan did not say anything, he used his fist to reply.

下一刻，右拳在空中呼啸，狠狠地击中方正的脸颊。

The next moment, the first flew in the air and harshly hit Fang Zheng on the face.

砰！

Bam!

一声巨响，鲜血飞溅，玉光碎成一片片，像是碎裂的小镜片一样飞散在空中，然后倏地消失。

After a loud crash, blood spilled as the jade light smashed to bits, like broken mirror fragments dancing in the sky, before vanishing.

“什么？！”方正陡然遭受这样巨大的打击，一阵发懵，脖子差点都被打折，踉跄而退。

“What?!” Fang Zheng was hit by such a shock once again, after a stunned moment, his neck was almost broken as he hurriedly retreated.

方源紧跟而上，迈着弓步，这次举起左拳，向后下方拉伸，然后斜向上轰出去！

Fang Yuan followed up closely, using a bow step and raising his left fist, pulling back and striking again upwards!

砰！！

Bam!!

方正的另一半脸颊也遭受重击，头猛烈地往后高高仰上去，鲜血和碎裂开来的玉光，一起飞散。

Fang Zheng’s other half of his face was hit by the impact, his head rising high up, with blood and broken jade light flying in the air.

咚、咚、咚。

Bambambam.

他倒退三大步，双耳嗡嗡炸响，比先前强烈十倍的眩晕感向他袭来。

He took three steps backwards, his ears buzzing, and a dizziness 10 times greater than before assaulted him.

“怎么……会这样！”他眼前一黑，仰头而倒——

“How can this… be!” His vision darkened, and he collapsed on the arena------

扑通。

Plop.

方正倒在了地上，身上绿光消散，一下子昏死了过去。

Fang Zheng fell on the ground, the light dissipating on his body, fainting.

呐喊声，欢呼声戛然而止。

The shouts and cheers came to an abrupt end.

学员们开心、兴奋的神情，还凝固在脸上，一时间甚至来不及转换。

The happy, excited expressions of the students were still glued on their faces, unable to change due to such a shock.

整个演武场一片死寂。

The entire arena was silent.

方源的双拳都是血肉模糊，甚至能看到惨白的指骨。一滴又一滴鲜红的血液垂落下来，滴在擂台上。

Fang Yuan’s fists were bloody, almost seeing his bloody finger bones. Drops of blood fell and dripped on the stage.

呼……

Wind blows…...

一阵冷冽的冬风吹来，冻结一切的热血。

A cold winter wind blew, freezing all the hot-bloodedness.

方源的发梢在风中微微颤抖，他笔直地站立在擂台上，似乎双拳半废之重伤的人，根本就不是他！

Fang Yuan’s hair wavered in the air, he stood still on the stage, almost as if the heavily injured person with both his fists almost crippled was not him!

他冷漠的目光，依旧平静，缓缓扫视周围。

He looked coldly at the surrounding with a calm expression.

众皆无声。

Everyone was silent.

棚子里，族长还站着，目瞪口呆地瞪着他。

In the tentage, the clan leader was still standing, staring dumbfounded.

“抱歉，让你们失望了。”方源轻轻地道。

“Sorry, it seems you’re all disappointed.” Fang Yuan said lightly.

 

Chapter 85 is my favourite chapter, the most perfect "Fuck You!" to Shonen Power-Up Bullshit.

For the rest, "One does not fear an Invincible Boss Pig, One only fears pig-like teammates!"

 

Yeah the ending of chapter 85 is beautiful. It’s one of the most memorable chapters to me.
Also Jiao San’s death... so evil lol. Loved it. Great scene

 

HAHAHAH I REMEMBER THIS CHAPTER IT WAS HILARIOUS--

In any other situation we'd be on Fang Zheng and his Power-of-Friendship!! side.

But not here.

XD

 

R-Ruyi~!!

*proceeds to fawn over her every time she appears*

 

Lol >u< Hey, nice to see you around! Cool badge, btw~

 

Awww Yup, nice to see you around too! It's so good to see you every time
And you do pop up at the most random times xD
Thanks, yours is so cute c:
Volare and meatbuns~

 

I think it was supposed to be a fluff. >3

Oops, and I'll try not to detract from the topic but heeey, nice to see GDM is continuing on your website as well. Keep Zelsky alive!

 

>w<) Oh fluffies... Ahhh! Haha~

Thank you Ruyi c: <3

 

lobey chummy makes me jelly

 

Someone knows, if 10 mu is considered decent amount of land only in this mountain village, or in China in general? I was weirded out by this because you barely can grow something with such a farmland.

 

It's enough for a bachelor or newly-wed to grow rice to feed themselves with a bit of extra (children).

 

1 Mu is 666 ⅔ meters² :3

But I guess the village is pretty small anyway.... not enough space

 

I can't handle the team arc at all guys, i don't want to drop this story but the beginning of the team arc is real bad in my opinion.

 

What are you talking about

 

If you're talking about Jiao san and his team they've been dead for a while already, otherwise I don't know what you mean.

 

I put this novel on pause because i wasn't enjoying the beginning of the team arc. I skipped through a bit but the last chapter i read before pause didn't have the sickly snake guy and his team dead yet. I just wanted to know it they lived for much longer i guess

 

They died pretty quickly so don't you worry!!
I quite liked the chapter when they died too. Pretty impactful.
