The double fists swung out, resembling the powerful fall of stars from the ninth heaven,
Seeing this move by ng Xing, Lin Chen’s eyes brightened, and he raised his right palm with a soft utterance: "Seventh Palm!"
This palm strike, Lin Chen held nothing back!
...
...
Bam!
Outside the courtyard, everyone listening to the sounds from within could guess how intense the battle inside was at that mont.
"Senior Brother ng will definitely win."
The eyes of Fu Ze and Zheng Fan from the Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy were filled with anticipation. They knew how strong Senior Brother ng was, and to them, Lin Chen might be invincible in the Opening Acupoints Realm, but he was certainly not a match for Senior Brother ng in the Refining Viscera Realm.
In contrast, the disciples of the Canglan Martial Arts Academy had worried expressions on their faces, knowing that Lingxiao ca prepared, especially this ng Xing, who dared to challenge Senior Brother Lin, he must have confidence.
From the sounds of battle, it seed fiercely contested, making it really difficult to say what the outco might be.
Fang Zhan looked towards Xiao Yaojin beside him: "Why is Senior Brother Lin taking so long? This is unusual, could it be that ng Xing has really made such rapid progress in these two months?"
Xiao Yaojin squinted his eyes, an action often done by Senior Brother Lin. Over the past two months, he too had been influenced by Senior Brother Lin, adopting this mannerism whenever he contemplated.
"Senior Brother Lin has a modest disposition, you should understand."
Hearing Xiao Yaojin’s words, Fang Zhan suddenly understood, grasping what Xiao Yaojin ant.
Senior Brother Lin liked to leave others a bit of dignity and usually would not fight with all his might from the start. Fang Zhan and Xiao Yaojin, having sparred with Senior Brother Lin many tis, had gotten used to his style.
In every encounter, Senior Brother Lin seed to narrowly win, yet when they significantly improved, thinking they could defeat him that ti, they would find themselves beaten thoroughly again by Senior Brother Lin.
Afterwards, the two would strive to train harder and once again catch up to Senior Brother Lin, only to have Senior Brother Lin narrowly win another round.
Over these two months, Fang Zhan and Xiao Yaojin both knew well that Senior Brother Lin was giving them face, holding back his strength during their sparring.
So in the courtyard, was Senior Brother Lin also holding back against ng Xing to enact another narrow victory scene?
...
...
Thirty breaths later, the courtyard finally cald down.
Everyone was eagerly watching the courtyard gate, desperate to know the result.
Ten breaths later.
The gate opened, and ng Xing’s figure appeared at the entrance.
At the sight of ng Xing, Fu Ze and Zheng Fan’s faces lit up with excitent; indeed, it was Senior Brother ng who had won.
The faces of the Canglan Martial Arts Academy’s disciples darkened. Could it be that Senior Brother Lin indeed lost?
ng Xing glanced at the pairs of eyes staring intensely at him at the entrance, understanding why Senior Brother Lin allowed the sparring to happen privately in the courtyard.
This was to let him save face.
Thinking of this, ng Xing turned back, earnestly cupping his fists in salute: "ng Xing thanks Senior Brother Lin for his guidance. Should I gain anything in the future, I will rember Senior Brother’s instruction today."
In this battle, although he was being beaten the whole ti, he learned from Senior Brother Lin what "martial virtue" truly ant.
Even though he ca to provoke, Senior Brother Lin not only gave him a chance to show his skills during the fight, but also conducted the battle privately. For these two reasons alone, he earned the title of "Senior Brother."
He finally understood why Fang Zhan and Xiao Yaojin chose to co to the Canglan Martial Arts Academy.
Unfortunately, he was already a disciple of the Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy.
As ng Xing said this, the place was in an uproar.
The disciples of the Canglan Martial Arts Academy imdiately erupted in cheers.
Just before ng Xing entered the courtyard, he was quite arrogant and unwilling to call Lin Chen "Senior Brother"; yet now, he took the initiative to do so, which spoke volus.
"Junior Brother ng, you are too kind, I did not provide any guidance."
Lin Chen’s figure also appeared before the group, waving his hand with a smile: "I rely won narrowly."
At the words "won narrowly," the corners of Fang Zhan and Xiao Yaojin’s mouths twitched simultaneously; here ca Senior Brother Lin again.
But ng Xing shook his head: "Senior Brother Lin, you don’t need to save face for . The gap in strength between us is vast, a defeat is a defeat."
The ng family rules were to match words with deeds, and ng Xing could not lie for the sake of dignity.
He might have lost, but he would lose gracefully.
"Senior Brother Lin, Junior Brother will take his leave first."
Having said this, ng Xing left, and Fu Ze and Zheng Fan quickly followed; since even Senior Brother ng lost, they naturally wouldn’t stay to be humiliated by the disciples of the Canglan Martial Arts Academy.
"Everyone disperse now."
Seeing everyone still gathered there, Lin Chen announced with a smile.
The disciples of the Canglan Martial Arts Academy began to leave, intent on sharing the news with the other absent fellow disciples.
What about the Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy?
And what about ng Xing?
They still lost at Lin Chen’s hands, and by ng Xing’s own admission, a crushing defeat at that.
"Senior Brother Lin, you are too kind; for soone like ng Xing, you should have ended it in a few moves," Fang Zhan muttered.
Hearing this, Lin Chen’s face turned a bit colorful; this ti he truly did not hold back.
It was simply because he underestimated Junior Brother ng’s resilience; the only reason he held on was because Junior Brother ng could really endure a beating.
ng Xing was the most resilient person he had co across, to the point he suspected whether ng Xing also practiced so Body Tempering Cultivation Technique.
"By the way, did this Junior Brother ng practice Horizontal Training?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
"Horizontal Training?" Fang Zhan didn’t expect Lin Chen to ask this, after thinking for a mont he replied: "No, I haven’t heard of any impressive Horizontal Training from the ng family."
"The ng family might not have Horizontal Training, but they do have a particular Blood Exchange Secret Technique which lets one endure damage for a short period without affecting their strength; the cost of which is bed rest afterward, the duration depends on the depth of the damage endured."
Xiao Yaojin spoke quietly; he realized that it wasn’t Lin Chen holding back, but ng Xing resorting to use a secret technique.
It seems people might not see ng Xing around for the next few days.
