Chapter 137: Chapter 59: A Single Move Determines the Outco!
Canglang Martial Arts Hall.
At this ti, a number of carriages were all stopped at the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall.
“Master Yu Yuan from Shenwei Martial Arts Hall has arrived!!”
“Head Officer Ge Zhengyuan of the City Gates has arrived!!!”
“Gang Leader Shi Xiaoyuan of the Green Gang has arrived!”
“…”
...
At this mont, one after another, influential figures appeared at the entrance of Canglang Martial Arts Hall.
The disciples inside the Martial Arts Hall shook involuntarily upon hearing these resonant nas.
“Master Wang has quite the reputation!” soone whispered in admiration.
“Yes!” another person said upon hearing this, nodding in fervent agreent.
Zhou Xing glanced at a few people, “Get back to work and don’t delay any longer!”
“Yes, Brother Zhou!” The few people bowed their heads and replied promptly upon hearing Zhou Xing’s reprimand.
On the other side.
The main hall of the Martial Arts Hall.
At this ti, it was already bustling, as one influential figure after another arrived in the hall, chatting casually over cups of tea.
“Aunt, who is that man you ntioned?” Lin Jiaer asked softly.
Lin Qingyi smiled slightly, her lips moved but without making a sound, yet her voice clearly appeared in Lin Jiaer’s ears.
“You’ll see him soon! The man is exceptionally handso; I believe he will satisfy you, Jiaer.”
“Aunt, Jiaer is not the kind of shallow girl who only looks at appearances,” Lin Jiaer protested coquettishly.
Right then.
Wang Jin strode into the main hall.
“Ladies and gentlen, thank you for your patience and understanding.”
At that mont, when everyone saw the armored, imposing figure beside Wang Jin, they imdiately rose to their feet.
“Master Wang!”
“Nice to et you, Master Wang!!”
“…”
One by one, the so-called bigwigs greeted him upon seeing this person.
“Let’s keep it casual since we’re outside!” Master Wang said earnestly.
“What Master Wang said makes sense!”
“Master Wang is right!”
“…”
A string of flattering comnts burst forth from the mouths of everyone present.
At this ti, only a few people were sitting calmly in their places.
One of them was Lin Qingyi.
Master Wang hesitated when he saw Lin Qingyi, then chose to sit below her.
“Master Wang, why don’t you sit higher up?” soone asked with a puzzled expression.
The burly Master Wang replied, “I quite like this spot!”
With this, no one else dared to raise an objection.
Speaking of influential figures.
Master Wang was indeed a top-tier powerhouse in Luoshui County.
He had command over a hundred elite soldiers and five hundred city guards.
Not to ntion Master Wang’s own formidable strength.
Whether it was his authority or his personal strength, both placed him at the apex of Luoshui County’s hierarchy.
Just then.
Wang Jin also greeted Lin Qingyi, “Master Lin, how co you have the leisure to attend my ntorship banquet today?”
Lin Qingyi smiled slightly, “Before Shen Congyun left, he asked to take care of soone, so I ca here today.”
“Is that person the sa Jiang Ning who recently caused quite a stir?” Master Yu Yuan from Shenwei Martial Arts Hall suddenly interjected.
Lin Qingyi nodded slightly, “Indeed, it’s him.”
Upon hearing this.
A spark of interest flashed in Lin Jiaer’s eyes behind her.
“Jiang Ning? Is this the man aunt wants to introduce to as the ideal gentleman?”
On the other side.
A gleam of light passed through Shi Xiaoyuan’s eyes.
“Jiang Ning? He’s one lucky guy!”
“To have received the help of so many nobles!”
Imdiately afterward, he clenched his fists secretly, “That’s so luck! If it wasn’t for that, I would have taken him down long ago to avenge my brother!”
“I have to consider this and that!”
“It’s so frustrating!!!”
…
On another side.
Jiang Ning also stopped in his tracks.
On his way to the Martial Arts Hall, he had not chosen to use a carriage.
For him, riding in a carriage was too cumberso, botherso, and a waste of ti.
His speed had already surpassed that of ordinary thoroughbred horses.
As for the issue of stamina, which most martial artists consider, it was also not a concern for him.
An Inner Strength Martial Artist does not fear prolonged battles—that is the most basic characteristic.
He had now mastered the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill and possessed the basic characteristics of Inner Strength Martial Artists, not fearing a long battle.
Given the current condition of his internal organs,
unless he engaged in a long and intense fight, it was basically impossible for him to feel fatigued.
At this ti.
The disciple guarding the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall saluted imdiately upon seeing Jiang Ning’s arrival.
“Good to see you, Brother Jiang!”
“Good to see you, Brother Jiang!”
Jiang Ning glanced at the carriages at the entrance.
He asked, “Am I late?”
“Not at all, Brother Jiang! Please co in quickly; there is still so ti before the ntorship banquet begins,” one of the disciples guarding the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall replied hastily.
“That’s good then!” Jiang Ning was relieved!
At the sa ti.
In the forecourt of the Martial Arts Hall.
Xiao Peng, who was holding his saber, had been resting with his eyes closed in the forecourt.
He was waiting for one person’s arrival.
Waiting for Jiang Ning to show up.
Previously, he had a brief exchange with Jiang Ning.
During which, he felt the pressure emanating from Jiang Ning firsthand.
His strength was far above his own.
In the Early Stage of Martial Arts, strength plays a decisive role, especially when bare-handed, where the gap in strength has an even greater impact on the outco.
Therefore, Xiao Peng was acutely aware that he was no match for Jiang Ning at that ti.
It wasn’t until a few days ago, when he reached the Ninth Grade in Martial Arts, perfectly satisfying all of Wang Jin’s requirents,
that he reignited the thought of competing against Jiang Ning.
But he also knew that even though he had reached the Ninth Grade in Martial Arts, his strength still wouldn’t match up to Jiang Ning’s.
That’s why he was waiting today, with his saber in hand, for Jiang Ning’s arrival.
His purpose was to challenge Jiang Ning with a weapon and determine who was better, to decide the victor.
When wielding a weapon, combat experience and skill have a much greater impact on the outco, and the influence of strength diminishes.
