24.07% Insanity Of A Reverend Reader / Chapter 12: Getting put in my place

Chương 12: Getting put in my place

Without much resistance, Fang Yuan went to the side and allowed me to pass through. I smiled with a shit-eating grin and left my battle stance, as people stared at us in shock. No one expected this outcome, except me! I smiled in disappointment and mockery as I walked forwards and-

Whosh!

I quickly caught the palm attack going for my kidney with my left hand and lifted up the assailant. My smile was as wide as the ocean and as boundless as the 9 heavens at that moment! I looked happier than a 50-year-old virgin, who finally got laid! I picked Fang Yuan up from by hand and

Bang!

Smashed him onto the academy's entrance's sand covered ground. Sand splashed all around as I heard a coughing sounds and Fang Yuan quickly did a backwards roll to enter a battle stance.

The genius Fang Yuan underestimated his opponent and paid for it! He fell for my cocky brute act and thought I was a dumbass like Mo Bei, who can't see through or use deception! He realized his mistake, but it is already too late! He has given me the perfect excuse to completely ruin his reputation of being undefeated and has lost all initiative in this battle!

I could see it in his eyes, he isn't used to the dizziness and physical shock from the pain! I have been torturing my body for 12 year with inhumane physical exercise! I am used to everything from being burned to frozen over, but his body is of a delicate soft-skin scholar and it is on the verge of collapsing from that impact!

My strength isn't something to joke about or laugh at! My body is strong enough to take a boar's charge attack and barely get injured. I can take an attack that would kill any mortal on the spot head-on! With only 1 Gu, how can Fang Yuan compete with me!

I waited for a few seconds and saw his body sway to the left a bit. An opening! I rushed towards his right, ducked under the chop attack which he was baiting me into by revealing the said opening, tackled his torso and charged towards the wall, intending to smash him onto it and pound the everliving crap out of him!

Fang Yuan was tricking me with a false opening. He wanted me to charge at him and get chopped on my neck, but I saw through such a simple trick and tackled him towards the wa-

I quickly spun around and threw him away from me, like how the people throw the metal balls in the Olympics. He managed to do a backflil landed on his feet. "To think you would actually try to kill me! What an interesting guy! Who gave you the balls to make an attempt on my life!"

The little bitch had actually tricked me twice! I didn't expect him to try and kill me! Killing me would bring him a lot of problems, so I didn't even consider it during my calculations. Thinking back on it, not killing me and losimg would end all of his future prospects. Also killing me would set a good example for those that oppose him and prove his strength as well. This is a way for him to keep his reputation and propose a truce at the same time. He even gains a reputation boost of "He will kill if you threaten him!" No one wants to mess with a lunatic. To think I would still lose to this guy and become a steppingstone for him even when I had the upper hand! He truly is a terrifying, 500-year-old demon!

"I underestimated you, Fang Yuan. You are completely different than your worthless brother. I don't like the idea of risking my life for 8 primeval stones, so I propose a deal. We won't get in each other's way and I will pay you 1 primeval stone a week, like normal students, but any more than that and I will not hold back! Even if I make a lot of money, being exploited leaves a bad taste in my mouth." I don't really care, but I need to fill him with some amount of false information I can fall back on in the future.

Fang Yuan, as a smart man, understood my intentions. "Keep your title and normal income! Don't annoy me, or I will reciprocate your killing intentions!" If I get kicked out of the school, I have a huge income source on my side. Fang Yuan has nothing, so he will stagnate and lose out! All he can do is compromise and not annoy me. So this bout ends with a draw instead of his win! Hey, drawing with THE Fang Yuan is good enough for some dumb teenager from earth!

I handed him the 1 primeval stones and left the academy grounds. The kids around us kept whispering stuff like "Even the class president couldn't defeat him!", "Will he really kill us if we don't pay him? He can't do that, right?" and "This Fang Yuan is a vicious lunatic!"

To be fair, I can give the entire 10 to Fang Yuan, but why would I do that? Sure, I like him as a main character of a book, but this is real life now and I know for a fact he isn't going to reciprocate my kindness. Why would I help him in any way? I can probably just kill him and no one would care. Worst case scenario, i get a slap on the wrist in the form of expulsion! That's nothing!

I am basically a big shot in Gu Yue already. I make almost 350 primeval stones a month and am a big businessman in the world of animal goods. Regenerating essence is too damn slow, so most Gu masters can only hunt like 2-5 boars a day. My slave alone can slay up to 15 at a time thanks to Guts and he only needs like 30 minutes of rest before he can do it again! Same for me, well maybe a little mote recovery time, but the point still stands.

Here is another major difference between me and normal people. I don't have to pay taxes, as I am considered underage and the clan can't ask me for any amount of money! This is the perfect situation! Full profit, no tax and a consistent income! Most Gu masters are even jealous of Chun Jack, a mortal!

The Guts sword is hella big, hella cool and hella expensive! The damn thing cost me 150 primeval stones. Granted, it isn't half the price a Rank 1 Gu is, but it was still expensive! The damn thing is a slab of a quarter ton of iron! Who in their right minds wouldn't want this? I can barely wield the damn thing! I kinda wanna see Chi Chan wield it now.

Back on topic. I am rich and have a lot of resources, but I have no Gu worms. I can't be a master of Gu without any Gu worms to be the master of! Before the next caravan arrives, I will have enough money to buy all I need, but I still need Gu worms to fight and earn more of them! Also, there are no gambling dens in Gu Yue clan, so my scamming tech won't work here.

All I can do is gather my fortune and go extra spendy on Gu worms in the Jia shop. I still need like 410 Gu points to get my dream aptitude. At least I am taking back my Liquor Worm. Fang Yuan had enough fun with it! Now, observe as I make a legendary rank 1 Gu worm appear in my hands with a simple

Snap!

And now there is a Liquor Worm in my aperture refining the primeval essence there. From now on, my talent can probably outshine shits like Fang Zheng. Heck, I might even reach rank 2 before him! Fang Yuan is a big boy, he can manage without a Liquor worm.

I have done enough favors for him. From now on I am going to only cultivate myself and my brother! For my brither I have found another Gu a mortal can use. It is called Beast Shadow Gu and is rank 2. It can help a human draw out all the power from the beast strength Gu they have used. Its limit is rank 2, but there are higher levels of it

It is like the Susano thing Sasuke has, but you summon an animal behind you. It is more like a purple stand, that has no special abilities whatsoever. Quite an interesting Gu. It can summon any beast strength Gu's beast phantom, I think it's called? We briefly went over them in the academy when reviewing the strength path.

The next ranks are called all-out effort Gu rank 3 and 4 for their respective ranks. The effect is the same in all the ranks. The rank 2 one costs like 70 Gu points and the rank 3 one costs 350. Sheesh! What's with the prices!

Hmm? I only managed to reach chapter 270 of Reverend Insanity before I died. Why you asking such a weird question out of the blue?

I want to buy these Gus' for my brother, but damn! 1000 for Organic Weapon Gu, 350 for all-out effort Gu, 500 for Fate Flipped Upside Down Gu and several others I want to buy! I seriously need to rank up to 2 or 3 and start making a lot more money! I need Gu worms and a lot of them!

At least the merit system from the wolf tide will come in handy for racking up Gu worms. Also, Gu produced by Gu worms can't be sold. I tried. The nine vitality leaf Gu's leaves are worth 0 Gu points. They are all rank 1 Gus', so I don't see why it doesn't have a price. Guess a money farm is impossible. The nine vitality leaf Gu Has a pretty cheap price as well. It costs only 45 Gu points.

Look at me saying "only 45 Gu points" when that's half my savings! It is expensive, but not as expensive as the unranked ones. Sheesh, 1K Gu points! Still can't get over that. Anyway, I got my Liquor Worm back and can now fully concentrate on my cultivation.

I kinda wanna know how Fang Yuan is going to get out of the Jia Fu mess without a Liquor Worm to back him up? He will probably deny the claim and not get convicted, cuz he doesn't have a Liquor Worm and the bar owner is now lying about his testimony. Also no motive will be established and he will only remain a little sus, so they can't throw black out of the spaceship quit yet.

Far away from Kai Nem, in the Clan leader's manor "Fang Yuan greets clan leader" stood a boy with a bent back and a humble expression on his face. He looked around and saw the some of the clan elders along with the rock gambling girl he met and the drinking house servant.

He, for no reason at all, decided to check on his Gu worms and nearly had a heart attack when he saw his Liquor Worm wasn't there. After double checking the aperture, he confirmed it. "Where did the Liquor Worm disappear to? I need to show it off at this meeting. If I can't, half my plans will be ruined. Guess I'll have to overcome this obstacle in a simpler way."

The clan elder asked the rock gambling servant girl to confirm the identity of Fang Yuan and a small confession later, a weird mortal walked in and said "You are lying! I saw you drinking with him at my bar! I remembers it well because I saw you use a Liquor Worm!"

Fang Yuan didn't have a Liquor Worm, so all he could do was show confusion "Elder, you can inspect my aperture if you wish, I do not possess any such Gu. How could I be so lucky as to randomly stumble upon a wild Liquor Worm?"

The shop owner countered and said "He is lying! I saw it with my own eyes!" The clan leader suddenly shook his head and said "In the history of our clan, the Liquor Worm Gu has only been owned by 2 families. One of them was the Chi clan, but it died of illness one day. The other is the Sam family, who's only son accidentally caught a Liquor worm when he was 2 years old. How can our clan be fortunate enough to attract 2 different Liquor Worms?"

Fang Yuan had a hint of surprise in his eyes as he thought "Who exactly is this Sam Family?" Fang Yuan looked at the elder and said "Clan leader, if I may ask, who is this Sam family? I would like to request the Liquor Worm from them." The clan elder nodded his head and said "I wanted to borrow it for Fang Zheng, but they have a C grade son who is in possession of it now. I believe his name is Gu Yue Kai Nem? His parent decided to rebrand his family name from Sam to Kai as a way to show respect to their ancestor Gu yue Kai Luo, who was once a clan elder."

"There he is again! Just who is this Kai Nem? He is extremely skilled, intelligent and physically gifted. He can almost compete with me in terms of capabilities, but he is only 15 and I don't remember any famous Kai Nem from my previous life. What has changed to cause him to appear? And does he have anything to do with my Liquor Worm disappearing?"

They couldn't establish a cause for why Fang Yuan would kill Jia Jin Sheng, as the bartender provided "fake" evidence and Fang Yuan didn't actually possess a Liquor Worm even after s thorough investigation. He still had to be evaluated by a footprint Gu and the gentleman Gu, though to show off Jia Fu's attitude Gu.

That is how I imagine the meeting went. I don't know for sure, though. I wasn't there to see it. This is the most likely situation, in my opinion.

What? Did you guys think I would mess up Fang Yuan's character or just not write about him? I am smart too and can think politics as well! Writing Fang Yuan's genius level schemes into my story will be a breeze!

Chương 13: The boar king subjugation squad

Fang Yuan is now stuck with a pure 44% talent and no help from any Gu. In the meantime, I had the talent level of 70% and was boosted by a Liquor Worm. I also found a very interesting Gu on the Gu thrift shop.

It is called Second Aperture Gu and oh boy is it expensive! It costs 50 motherfucking thousand Gu points! And is rank 5! But here is the catch. There are 6 versions of it. Rank 1 through 6. The first 5 are basically rank X Aperture Gus' and the rank 6 one is called immortal second aperture Gu.

The first rank one costs 50 points, The second rank one goes for 100 points, the rank third one is 500 points, rank 4 is 5K Gu points, rank 5 is 50k points and rank 6 is motherfucking 500K Gu points! Sheesh! Another thing I need to buy for my self and it will cost me 250K moonlight Gu worms in order to get it!

I also need to buy Chun Jack a muscle refining Gu, or his fleshy muscles won't be able to withstand the pressure from strength enhancing Gus'.

Short version, I need more Gu points! Everything that is good is extremely expensive and I am still only rank 1. It is time to fix that fact!

Three weeks or so have passed and I gotta say my brother has gotten a lot better at wielding the Guts sword. He can swing it as if it is a norm- scratch that, he is using it like Guts from berserk does. I have also noticed he doesn't let go of it for a single second!

He sleeps with it in his right hand, he bathes with it, eats with it hooked onto his back and does a minimum of 1000 swings a day. The guy has turned into a sword maniac! I don't know if there is sword intent or something like that in this world, but if someone is going to awaken it, it is Chun Jack.

My cultivation has also not stagnated. I have advanced to upper stage of rank 1. Now I have 55% Black Green copper primeval essence. I seriously can't believe how much easier it is to cultivate with a Liquor Worm. My efficiency has gone up by almost 2 times! And that is saying something, seeing as it was already at 70% talent level of efficiency.

This is basically as strong as I will be for at least 2 months, so we are going motherfucking boar King hunting! And not just any boar King! A thousand boar king! I got the little light Gu as my reward like Fang Yuan did, so my moonlight Gu is at 200% power and some dumbass, who was too poor to pay his rent and feed his Gu sold me his bronze skin Gu.

They are all rank 1 Gus', but I have defense, damage and speed covered now! Damage won't be that useful if everything goes according to my plan. That combined with my physical strength should be enough for me to fight a rank 2 Gu Master.

Wang Er has stocked up on a lot of metal tipped arrows, per my request. Metal tipped arrows are special arrows our friendly neighborhood blacksmith Gu Yue Gon Tu made for this occasion. He was the guy who forged Guts for my brother. He might be extra expensive to hire, but he is a good friend and his skills are worth the primeval stones we pay him.

They are a lot more powerful than normal metal arrows. These ones can penetrate the Boar king's hide. Well, they haven't been tested, but they should be. Those arrows are in case of scenario Chaos B. You think I only made 1 plan? There is plan A, plan B, plan C, Chaos A, Chaos B and scenario F. We are mostly ready to get going, so it is time the gang gets together!

I left my room and jumped down to the ground from my porch. I just now broke through to upper stage and need to recover the primeval essence I used, but I can do that along the way. My brother was there swinging his sword. "Yo, brother Jack, let's go! It is time to hunt a thousand beast King! We are killing the rabid brown boar king, so let's pick up Wang Er along the way and start the hunt!"

My brother drew a smile and said "Finally! I thought this day would never come! Time to show those stuck up Gu masters what mortals can do! I have been waiting for this moment for weeks!"

I laughed at his enthusiasm and said "Well, today we will finally taste the fruits of our labor! I can shoot almost 45 Moonblades without exhausting my primeval essence, so I will have to focus more on making sure the baby boars don't get in the way and the damn Boar King doesn't charge you down. I'll explain the plan in greater detail when we find Wang Er."

He nodded at me and holstered his Guts sword and we began running towards Wang Er's house. Around 10 minutes into our journey, we heard a familiar voice saying "Hmm? Which village are you from, kid? How dare you try to take advantage of me, Wang Er! Quickly get lost!"

I instantly realized what was going on and ran towards the voice, even using my Spring Weed Gu. My brother quickly followed after me, but he can barely run as fast as me normally, much less when he has a quarter ton sword strapped to his back and I am using movement Gu.

I got there extremely fast and saw Fang Yuan about to cut Wang Er's head off with a moon blade. I can easily endure a moon blade with my bare skin, but I can't take a boosted moon blade right now. That injury might ruin my entire plan!

Without wasting a moment, I activated the bronze skin Gu and jumped in front of the moonblade. Fang Yuan showed surprise at both me suddenly appearing and me having a bronze skin Gu. "Fang Yuan! You dare try to kill one of my people!"

I could see a small sweat droplet on Fang Yuan's forehead when he saw me getting angry. I lost like 4% primeval essence total from his attack and it didn't even leave a flesh wound, so it is understandable why Fang Yuan is worried. If we fight to the death, he will not survive and no one will care about him. Actually, can't I take him out now? I can kill him this very instance and no one will know. No one will punish me. Who would even care enough about him to punish me? And he knows that!

His thinking speed is truly admirable, but why is he out here? Oh right, white boar Gu. It needs food. Guess I can give him a small fright and make him screw off "Fang Yuan, explain what you are doing here! I didn't have a defensive q Gu before, so I couldn't guarantee my life, but time is different now! I can protect myself better than most rank 2 Gu masters, so I am not afraid of facing you!"

Fang Yuan snorted and said "I need some spirit stones and decided to take up your trade, hunting boars and selling them for profit." I laughed at his claim and said "Fang Yuan, I hunt boars using my physical strength and my slave's help. I have dropped my dumb brute act long ago and we both know I can compete with you in terms of slyness. But you can't compete with me in terms of strength! Your only hope in hunting down boars are hunting them 1 at a time or stealing a hunter's bounty, but that is too inefficient for someone of your standards and you are not dumb enough to think I hunt using Gu worms and cover it up with fake strength.

The only other possibility is you need the boar's corpse for something, but you can't buy it publicly in fear of attracting suspicion. You are most likely hiding a Gu you shouldn't logically possess and the only Gu I can think of, that requires a boar's corpse as food, is a Boar Strength Gu."

I looked into his abyssal eyes, not even a trace of panic or fear in them. I smirked with a serious expression and said "Now, where did someone like you get a boar strength Gu?"

"This brat is dangerous! Is he a reincarnated person like me? Did he come here from earth or from the future as well? How can he see right through me? I need to eliminate him as quickly as possible or my plans will fall apart." Fang Yuan was in full hostility and scheming mode! I could see right through him and even read his thoughts!

The panic didn't last long as he said "I do not posses a boar strength Gu. Like I said, I am only here to make a little extra money to help with my cultivation." I nodded my head and said "Right. I have business with Wang Er and we won't be hunting boars today, so you can take over our job as the hunting force of the northwestern border."

Fang Yuan slowly nodded as I left him and took Wang Er towards the location of my brother. If I kill him now there is a high chance Tie Ruo Nan will hunt me down! Divine investigator will be called and the two will think I framed Fang Yuan and killed him off to cut down any pursuit. If her daddy pitches in, the possibility of my actions and sudden rise in talent being connected with the blood sea ancestor by them would skyrocket and I would be in deep fucking shit!

Fuck! I didn't think this through when I gave him the white boar strength Gu! God damn it! I endangered myself for a small bit of self-satisfaction gained from helping my favourite main character! At least Fang Yuan hasn't realized he can directly threaten me with his life and can't take advantage of me.

I'll have to rework my plans after this hunt. Let's forget about my fuckup and focus on the main task at hand.

I refocused myself and we reunited with my brother. Wang Er's two dumbass lackeys know their place and didn't dare follow us. Fang Yuan probably looked into his aperture with discomfort. He was forced to detonate the white boar strength Gu, because of the threat is supposed.

He is quite careful. Even if it was part of the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance, he detonated it and parted ways with it as soon as it became a threat to him. He is probably thinking something along the lines of "How did he figure me out" or "Did he give up so easily because he figured out I destroyed it".

I will never know if I am right, but my ability to read Fang Yuan has certainly improved a lot since I began my battle with him. His ability to read me has basically gone to shit, or he is reading me so hard I am already on the palm of his hand. Can't really know for sure with this 500-year-old bastard!

Stop! I don't need a headache right now. Focus on the objective. He is irrelevant now.

"We are going to hunt down the thousands beast King rabid brown boar?!" Wang Er stared at me in horror and said "Did you already reach rank 2?!" I looked at him, with a little but of confusion in my eyes "What do you know about Gu masters to be surprised about my cultivation speed? I am only rank 1 upper stage, but I have the Liquor Worm, so I am as strong as I will ever be, for the next two months at least! Might as well hunt the damn thing down now!"

Wang Er showed a difficult expression and I said "Brother Wang, is someone from your family a demonic Gu master?" Cold sweat dripped from his forehead as I hit the nail on the head. Even if I didn't know this part, I could easily guess with his extremely readable reactions. "You don't have to worry. I am not going to sell out your friend. We three are comrades and can trust each other! If you really know a demonic Gu master, call him over and have him help us fight the thousand beast King! We have like a 20-30% chance of beating it, but a strong, high rank Gu master can really help us out!"

A gentle expression creeped up Wang Er's face as he looked at us, the mortal and Gu master brothers, who live and die together. "Alright, I'll be honest with you guys. My brother didn't actually die. He managed to find a rank 2 talent Gu worm and accidentally used it. His aperture's capacity increased all the way to 50% from it and he became a demonic Gu master."

Me and my brother looked at him with surprise in our eyes "You're telling me Wang Da and his wife aren't dead?" Wang Er showed a distressed expression and said "I wish that were true. My brother loved his wife with all of his heart, but only he is alive and well. His wife was killrd by him. He couldn't let her live, or else she would have exposed him to the clan elders and his enemies would use her against him!"

I have known Wang Er for years, but this was the first time I have ever seen tears anywhere near his eyes! He fell on his knees and punched the ground with tears streaming down his face. "He loved her so much and he was forced by this cruel world to kill her with his own hands!"

That was... Quite a bit more tragic than I expected. The novel just briefly went over it and I kinda didn't care originally and just wanted to use Wang Da, but hearing the true story directly from a victim, it felt more real and painful.

No matter how smart and evil I act, I am no Fang Yuan. I can't look at this man's pain and think of benefits or anything other than compassion. I extended my hand and lifted him up into s hug. "Don't worry, brother Er, we won't tell anyone on brother Da's situation! If he needs our help or a place to stsy, our house will forever be open to him. Can you take us to him? I would like to meet him in person and inspect his Gu worms, to see if there are any that can help us."

Wang Er and my brother wiped away the tears in their eyes and we continued walking. Man, onion Gu season already?!

Apparently the guy is currently living in a treehouse south of the clan town, so lucky us! We can pick him up on the way to the rabid brown boar King.
