BXBX NOVEL Chapter 95 - Reputation
Chapter 95: Reputation
Faced with Tie Guanxiong’s attack, Xu Ning stepped forward.
Instantly, the weapons collided.
Each confrontation was a direct confrontation of explosive strength.
The spectators around were both shocked and passionate.
Especially since Xu Ning’s performance gave such a strong visual impact.
Thump!
The knife and the hammer collided again, pushing the two apart.
Xu Ning had thoroughly gauged the true strength of Tie Guanxiong.
This person was already at the peak of the state mind realm, and his inner strength was somewhat weaker from Xu Ning, but it was not that different.
However, this person’s physical talent was a rare sight.
Tie Guanxiong’s physical talent was not just reflected in his ability to exert immense strength, but the meridians in his body were more resilient, allowing it to withstand more intense pressure, which made his force more explosive.
If it weren’t for this, it would be impossible for him to fight back and forth against Xu Ning without a perfection realm external skill.
The additional strength from his powerful physical body was almost comparable to a perfection realm external skill.
‘This Xu Ning guy…’
Tie Guanxiong panted heavily, staring at Xu Ning with bloodshot eyes.
Tie Guanxiong felt his arms trembling slightly.
It had been a long time since he fell into a disadvantage in a contest of pure strength.
Although in the eyes of outsiders the two sides were evenly matched, Tie Guanxiong knew very well that while he had tried his best, Xu Ning was just cruising along, taking it easy on him.
‘At such a young age, he has reached the perfection realm in two external skills, so scary.’
This was where Xu Ning shocked Tie Guanxiong the most.
Tie Guanxiong was naturally talented, but although he had just reached his thirties, he was already at the peak of the state mind realm.
He knew that his internal skill was far from reaching his upper limit, so after cultivating a bodybuilding technique and a hammering technique to the intermediate realm, he no longer studied them in depth, and instead continued to cultivate his internal skill.
Even if some warriors in the same realm as him had reached the perfection realm in their external skills, Tie Guanxiong would not care.
That was because those people who would do that were already old. In Tie Guanxiong’s opinion, they were forced to refine their external skills because they had exhausted their internal skill potential.
And since he still had a lot of potential, when his internal skill advancement slowed down, it wouldn’t be too late to start practicing his external skills then.
Tie Guanxiong had always had this kind of arrogance in his heart, that was, until he met Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was at least ten years younger than him. Not only was he also in the state mind realm, he had mastered two perfection realm external skills.
‘With an opponent like this, how can I rely on my talents alone?’
Tie Guanxiong, who had been called a martial arts genius since he was a child, had a sense of frustration in his heart.
Tie Guanxiong felt complicated emotions, but Xu Ning did not notice this.
After gauging Tie Guanxiong’s strengths, Xu Ning was ready to end the battle.
‘This time, I’ll strike first!’
Xu Ning suddenly broke out.
He slashed at Tie Guanxiong’s forehead with his knife.
But unlike before, Xu Ning changed the nature of force.
Before they were going head-to-head with pure strength, but now, Xu Ning’s strength was imbued with a tearing force.
He combined this with his Gale Knife Technique.
‘He changed!’
Tie Guanxiong immediately noticed the difference.
In an instant, he put out his hand to defend himself.
This time, when the knife and hammer collided, Tie Guanxiong felt a tearing force that spread directly from his forearm to his shoulder.
‘He changed his way of using his force!’
Tie Guanxiong realized in an instant that this was Xu Ning’s most suitable fighting style.
The notion of defeat began to spread in Tie Guanxiong’s mind.
He had realized the gap between himself and Xu Ning.
After changing his fighting style, Xu Ning was now even more relaxed and calm.
The tearing force caused Tie Guanxiong’s physical body and defenses to become extremely fragile.
It was like a hammer hitting a stone brick. Every time they collided, Tie Guanxiong felt severe physical pain.
This kind of pain also slowed down Tie Guanxiong’s reactions.
Finally, after dozens of exchanges, Tie Guanxiong dropped the hammer in his hand.
Xu Ning caught Tie Guanxiong’s defensive mistake, and his blade slashed directly in front of Tie Guanxiong’s forehead.
Woosh!
Tie Guanxiong felt a gust of wind from the blade.
If Xu Ning slashed another centimeter forward, his head would have been completely cut open.
‘I lost…’
Tie Guanxiong showed a bitter smile.
The hammer in his other hand also fell to the ground.
Tie Guanxiong was unwilling to lose, but there was nothing he could do.
The other party didn’t use any tricks to defeat him. It was a complete defeat.
Afterwards, Tie Guanxiong didn’t stay around any longer. He just squeezed through the crowd and left.
“Good!”
The people from the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall burst into cheers.
While the people from the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall were stunned.
They picked up the hammers dropped by Tie Guanxiong and left in disgrace.
“The Deputy Hall Master of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is so strong!”
“So young with such skill, does he come from a big family clan?”
“I don’t care, I’m going to sign up to learn martial arts!”
“…”
The spectators who were watching the fight were going crazy.
From thinking Tie Guanxiong had the advantage to when Xu Ning crushed Tie Guanxiong in the end, everyone felt a wave of emotions.
It wouldn’t be long before Xu Ning outshone Tie Guanxiong.
“Deputy Hall Master Xu, thank you for defending us against Tie Guanxiong.”
The spectators gradually left. Han Yue leaned forward and handed Xu Ning a wet towel.
Xu Ning took it and wiped the sweat from his face.
“Of course.”
Han Yue looked at Xu Ning with a look of reverence.
Deputy Hall Master Xu looked to be about the same age as her, but she could not compare to the suppressive power of martial arts he had displayed.
‘After fending off Tie Guanxiong, the others will have to think again before finding trouble with us.’
Xu Ning knew well that after today’s fight, he would gain a bit of reputation in Chun Rin Canton.
When people talked about the martial arts masters of Chun Rin Canton, everyone would have to add Xu Ning to their list.
…
Just like what he had thought…
After the news that Tie Guanxiong was defeated spread, all of the troublemakers who were ready to attack, began to calm down.
Tie Guanxiong was already considered top-notch among the state mind realm martial artists in the Chun Rin Canton.
If even he was no match for Xu Ning, then others wouldn’t even have a chance.
Almost all martial arts masters in Chun Rin Canton were jealous of Han Huxiao’s luck.
Picking up a deputy hall master like Xu Ning not only strengthened the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, but it also provided a huge guarantee for the future of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
Xu Ning was already so strong at a young age. He would surely be promoted to the intention realm or even the spirit realm.
As long as Han Huxiao could make Xu Ning stay at the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, then the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall would definitely have a bright future.
Over the past few days, Xu Ning had also heard some rumors from the outside world.
Xu Ning did not care for fame.
Without troublemakers knocking at his door, Xu Ning’s attention had recently shifted to the Thousand Source Bug.
Since he escaped from that mine, the Thousand Source Bug had expelled seven more Aura Crystals.
In this period of time, Xu Ning gained another 14 units of energy.
This steady method of accumulating energy made Xu Ning feel at ease.
But right now, a very serious problem appeared. The small fire crystal ore had almost been fully consumed by the Thousand Source Bug.
Without this fire crystal ore, the Aura Crystals discharged by the Thousand Source Bug would be worth one unit of energy again.
In response, Xu Ning decided to go to the canton city market to see if he could buy any fire crystal ores.
He wanted to buy more ores and elixirs of various varieties to see which of them would be the most beneficial to the Aura Crystals discharged by Thousand Source Bug.
