“To have the courage to come up here to die, I have underestimated you.” Shui Yu stared at Ning Cheng who walked onto the stage and said in a light voice.
“Carrying a broken spear like this, it is hard for you.” Shui Yu’s gaze swept past the broken spear on Ning Cheng’s back again, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth. How could his eyes not see that Ning Cheng’s spear was only a lower grade magic weapon?
Although he had gone up to challenge Ning Cheng, he did not actually think that Ning Cheng would come up. His intention was that Ning Cheng would definitely not dare to come up on the stage. As long as Ning Cheng did not come up to the stage, his aim would be achieved.
A fellow who feared battle, even if his cultivation level was low, would immediately be disgraced and no one would be able to look up to Ning Cheng. The reason why Divine Wind Academy had not said anything up until now was that they wanted the face of a five-star academy. Otherwise, if Ning Cheng had only scored 11 points in two rounds, the Divine Wind Academy would definitely not give Ning Cheng a good look.
Once Ning Cheng feared the battle, then the Divine Wind Academy would no longer have any protection for Ning Cheng. Even if Ning Cheng was killed, no one would have anything to say about the Divine Wind Academy. A disciple who feared war and the academy did not take the initiative to punish him was already considered a favour, so how could they care who killed Ning Cheng?
Shui Yu’s idea was that Ning Cheng had better fear war, and then he would take Ning Cheng away to finish him off afterwards.
“You actually have the courage to challenge grandpa, I kind of underestimated you.” Ning Cheng said seemingly unconcerned.
An imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of Shui Yu’s mouth, “Ning Cheng, you were able to rush from Ping Continent to Hua Continent, so it looks like you have some ability, but unfortunately, your eyes are not big. If you could persuade Luo Fei to go to my Shui Clan to make amends before, perhaps you would still be able to save a dog’s life. Now, not only will I kill you. And I have no more interest in that Ji Luofei. Do you know what I will do with that Gui Luofei when I get her back? You can’t think of it, she will have much, much more ……”
“Slap …….” Shui Yu did not even look at Ning Cheng in the eye. As he spoke, he even forgot that his head was sticking out of Ning Cheng’s reach.
He had never expected that. Ning Cheng dared to slap him, and he managed to slap him.
“If it wasn’t for the fear that Shui Yu would be alerted and he didn’t gather true essence, half of Shui Yu’s face would have been smacked into nothingness by Ning Cheng.
Even so, half of Shui Yu’s face had already been slapped off by Ning Cheng, and a dozen teeth splashed out together with his face.
“I will swallow you ……” Shui Yu’s eyes immediately turned livid as he raised his hand and waved out a huge black shear.
Once the giant shear came out. It was like an overwhelming dark cloud that completely enveloped the entire tournament stage. Even those who were watching from the outside had a chilling feeling, as if the giant shear was cutting at them.
The violent true essence and killing intent swept across the entire tournament stage, showing how strong Shui Yu’s mind was to kill Ning Cheng.
Unlike the shadow of Meng Jingxiu’s halberd not long ago, the speed at which this giant shear cut down was so swift that one would think that everything on the stage would be completely cut into pieces by this giant shear the next moment.
All of them knew that even if Ning Cheng’s speed was even faster, he would not be able to sacrifice the spear still on his back under such a furious giant shear.
Facing this terrifying giant shear. It was true that Ning Cheng did not sacrifice his spear, not that Ning Cheng was too late to do so, but rather Ning Cheng had no intention of sacrificing his spear at all. He had only slashed out with his fist, Shui Yu was not worthy of sacrificing his spear yet.
That was right. It was indeed a cleave out.
Fist Axe, this was what Ning Cheng had comprehended from that axe-mark killing intent in the Daan Forest, but unfortunately he did not have an axe. He could only use the Fist Axe. This was not the first time Ning Cheng had cast the Fist Axe, he had cast it several times. Each time he could feel the power of his Fist Axe rising.
A tragic killing intent was blasted out by Ning Cheng and instantly filled the air between him and Shui Yu.
Shui Yu did not feel Ning Cheng’s fist. He felt a huge axe falling from above his head and slashing directly at his giant shears.
What a terrifying killing intent, no, this was axe intent. But he clearly didn’t see Ning Cheng casting his axe, how could he possibly cleave with axe intent without using his axe? But he happened to feel a strong axe killing intent.
The berserk silhouette of the giant shears paused slightly before it blasted together with Ning Cheng’s fist and axe killing intent.
“Clack ……” It was as if the scissors had clipped steel, and a sound of grinding teeth and piercing ears rang out.
“Boom ……” Raging true essence burst between the fist-axe killing intent and the huge silhouette, and Shui Yu was blasted backwards dozens of metres with his own giant silhouette, before he could barely stand still.
Ning Cheng felt a surge of true essence, but under his slight operation, the tumbling true essence immediately subsided.
Most of the people watching the battle outside the ring stood up in shock, and even some of the experts and judges on the main altar subconsciously stretched their necks in surprise. No one could have expected this result, the fact that Ning Cheng had slapped Shui Yu earlier had already left all the people in disbelief, and this hard-fought sparring match had even turned the crowd’s original view upside down.
“It’s actually an even match?” Some people were already chattering.
“Hmph, an even split? You’re dreaming, that Shui Yu was slapped by Ning Xiaocheng, and he was already on the downside. That move of Shui Yu’s just now was made with anger, Ning Cheng threw a hasty punch without even using the spear behind him, who do you think had the upper hand?”
“It was indeed Ning Xiaocheng who won, I didn’t expect this Ning Xiaocheng, who is only at the third level of True Condensation, to be so powerful. He shouldn’t have lost the first two rounds on purpose and then tried to impress people in the third round, right?”
“Don’t be ridiculous, if it was given to you, you would lose on purpose?”
……
There were all kinds of discussions, and no one said that Ning Xiaocheng was looking for death anymore. But no one knew that there were still people who really talked out that Ning Cheng’s first second round was really a deliberate loss.
Liu Xian was so excited that he stood up again, he couldn’t imagine that Ning Cheng was so strong. It was a pity that Ning Cheng did not have an axe, if Ning Cheng had an axe, with this axe, Shui Yu would have been seriously injured even if he did not die.
Even the majestic man who was sitting in the main seat at the main altar, who was presiding over the first and second round of the competition, opened his eyes. With cultivation levels to their level, they saw Ning Cheng’s axe fist as soon as it came out, a fist that carried the intention of axe killing. Without sufficient comprehension, one definitely could not have struck such a punch.
The majestic man stared at Ning Cheng for a while, reasonably speaking, this Ning Xiaocheng was able to comprehend the Axe Intent, so the second round of the comprehension ability should not have only one point.
“What is this Ning Xiaocheng’s spiritual root?” This majestic man suddenly spoke out and asked.
At this moment, Liu Xian was not on the main altar, but there was still a female cultivator of the Divine Wind Academy with a cultivation level of Yuan Building. When she heard the majestic man’s question, she hurriedly withdrew her surprise and bowed forward to respectfully say, “Ning Xiaocheng’s memory is incredibly strong, but his spiritual root is a miscellaneous spiritual root. He had previously encountered a spiritual marrow spring pool in the Da’an Forest, and only then, by chance, did he advance to the early stage of True Condensation.”
The dignified man nodded, after hearing this female cultivator’s words, he did understand why Ning Cheng only scored 1 on the comprehension ability test. In the second round of the competition, those who could see multiple images were either pure spiritual roots or otherworldly spiritual roots. Ordinary multi-spiritual roots could only see one picture, and if they could only see one picture, even if their comprehension ability was strong, they would not be able to comprehend the content of the picture that followed.
As for hearing that Ning Cheng had met the Spiritual Marrow Spring in the Da’an Forest, he did not care. If he had met the Spiritual Marrow Spring, it would not be strange for him to cultivate for a few years and advance to Condensed Truth. If he had known that Ning Cheng had only come from the Da’an Forest a few months ago, he might not have thought so.
“Hehe, once again, I’ve looked away.” Ling Naixin of Thunder Academy stared at Ning Cheng in amazement, suddenly feeling that she had misjudged twice and that she could no longer see through Ning Cheng. Such a powerful person had really only scored 1 point in the second round?
“Shui Yu is no match for this person, hurry up and tell Shui Yu to admit defeat and come down.” In the Water Family’s quarters, an old man stood up with a change in his face after seeing Shui Yu suffer defeats one after another.
Just as his words fell, Shui Yu had already pounced on Ning Cheng once again. At this moment, there was only anger and frustration in Shui Yu’s heart, for he, the first genius of the Shui Clan, had lost to a foreigner at the early stage of True Condensation. If this were to get out, how could he, Shui Yu, still have the face to face others.
This time, he had almost fully activated his giant shears, and the huge shears had separated, forming two shears one left and one right towards Ning Cheng. These two silhouettes, one left and one right, had not yet reached Ning Cheng when they once again split into four silhouettes.
At the end of the day, the entire ring was almost entirely silhouetted.
Ning Cheng smiled coldly as Shui Yu’s fighting spirit was already messed up from the blow. This countless silhouette blast was indeed a powerful technique, but unfortunately, Shui Yu’s fighting spirit was in disarray and his true essence was also weak, so the silhouette blasted out like this was just an empty frame.
If Shui Yu had been able to adjust his mind, he could have continued to fight him for a while, but now, Ning Cheng did not even look at him in the eye.
Ning Cheng still had not sacrificed his spear, let alone sacrificing the Seven Obsidian Ice Needles.
He just blasted out several fists one after another, which was a temporary simulation of his fist axe based on Shui Yu’s countless split silhouettes.
A shadow of the fist axe was blasted out by Ning Cheng under the drumming of Ning Cheng’s true essence, and from the moment it was derived, in a matter of breath, it was comparable to the silhouette.
“Snap snap snap snap ……” The fist shadows of the axe fist and the silhouette blasted together, and the true essence exploded with a sound. These sounds looked amazingly loud, but those who understood understood that the power of this latter duel was simply not as powerful as that of the giant shear silhouette and Ning Cheng’s punch from before.
“Ka-ching ……” After the countless silhouettes dissipated into thin air, Shui Yu then woke up with a start, he was no match for Ning Cheng, if he continued to fight, he would definitely die.
“I admit it ……”
Before Shui Yu could say these words, Ning Cheng had already leapt up and blasted out with a full force punch, how could he let Shui Yu say the words admit defeat out loud?
