Chapter 78 One Move

  Ning Kai Zheng was extremely shocked at this moment. Since he had practiced the "Fei Jiao Gong" to a small success, speed had become his advantage.

  For a long time, he had always been confident in his own speed. But now, when he came at full speed without reservation to tear Ning Chong apart, with a swipe of his claws, he found that all he tore was the air and the residual shadow left by Ning Chong, while Ning Chong's entire figure had disappeared from before his eyes!

  "Terrible..."

  Ning Kai Zheng wasn't some inexperienced rookie, and in that instant, he already sensed something was off. However, it seemed everything was already too late, as a cold voice whispered in his ear: "Those who kill will be killed; those who deceive Ning Chong will be repaid a thousandfold! Since you listened to that old dog's words, let's see if that old dog can save your dog life now!"

  Ning Kai Zheng was greatly shocked and immediately wanted to turn around, but he already felt a huge force suddenly colliding with his back.

  Boom!

  Ning Kai Zheng's back suffered a severe injury, his mouth spewing out fresh blood, like a kite with a broken string, he flew high into the air, flying out of the arena, and crashed to the ground, after which he didn't move again.

  Ning Chong's single move defeated the enemy, and this result suddenly shocked the entire audience. People were stunned, and after a moment of shock, they began to discuss it in an uproar:

  "This is the second one! The senior brother who lost to him is already the second one!"

  "Too strong! Ning Kai Chen was also defeated by him in just one move! Too strong!"

  "Unbelievable! Is Ning Chong really that useless person from the rumors about the Ning family? No way!"

  "My goodness! This Ning Chong is so ruthless and cunning! He completely disregards the rules that both sides have always followed in the Grand Tournament! This is cheating!"

  ……

  This battle, not only was Ning Chong not weak and defeated, but even the intense fight that some people thought would be a dragon and tiger struggle did not occur. Ning Chong defeated Ning Kaiqiang as easily as drinking water.

  So, in the discussions, apart from a small number of people who were shocked by Ning Chong's ruthless and merciless heart, most were astonished by his great strength.

  After all, Ning Kai Zheng may not be a genius, but he is also an outstanding figure among the outer door disciples. In last year's Outer Door Grand Competition, he was only one step away from entering the top five and entering the family's inner door.

  It's unbelievable that such a powerful person was defeated by Ning Chong in just one move, leaving countless people with their jaws dropped.

  At this time, the several elders on the host stage who were just loudly discussing Ning Chong's affairs all had red faces and couldn't lift their heads. They had all been convinced that Ning Chong would lose, and they didn't take Ning Chong's strength seriously at all. But before they could finish speaking, Ning Kaiqiang was already defeated by Ning Chong in one move, which was equivalent to Ning Chong slapping them hard with his actual actions.

  The results are out, and the seven elders coldly swept their eyes over these few elders, scolding: "You're all senior members of the family, yet you spout empty words without any restraint! Reflect on yourselves properly. If your juniors in the family were to find out about these words, would you still have the face to stand here?"

  The voice of the Seventh Elder had just fallen when a voice rang out: "Seventh Elder, you can't say that!"

  But then the clan leader, Ning Xing, walked over with a cold smile and said: "Ning Chong's innate talent has already been tested and proven to be extremely poor after nearly ten years. Think about it, Ning Chong was almost without cultivation half a year ago, but now he has such strength, what other explanation could there be besides him being lucky and obtaining a spiritual treasure?"

  "Hmph, trash is still trash. Even if they've swallowed a spiritual object and their luck has increased their strength, what's the use? Ning Zhong is this kind of trash, he will definitely stop at this point in martial arts, with no potential whatsoever!"

  As soon as Ning Xiong finished speaking, an elder chimed in, "The clan leader is right. Although Ning Chong's strength has increased, he's just relying on luck and trickery. He doesn't know how to cultivate properly and only has a decent technique. His technique is formidable, but it's all brute force. In the end, he'll still lose. After this round, I estimate he'll be eliminated in the next one!"

  Elder Wang, who had always thought Ning Chong was quite impressive, and had personally tested him yesterday, leaving a deep impression of his abilities. At this moment, hearing Ning Xingbi and the others belittle Ning Chong, Elder Wang let out a cold snort and stepped forward, saying: "Is it just that his movement skills are fierce and he has some brute strength? Could it be that you all are nearsighted?"

  Ning Xingbi chuckled and said, "Isn't that a bit much, Elder Wang? We're all cultivators who have practiced martial arts for decades. With so many eyes on us here, are you saying we're all blind and can't even recognize a genuine waste of space?"

  "It's not blind, and it's estimated that it's not far from blindness!" The Seventh Elder also stood up and said bluntly, "Take a good look, Ning Chong still has a long sword on his back, and he has never intended to use it. This shows that in the battles so far, Ning Chong has never exerted himself fully, because he hasn't met anyone who can force him to go all out!"

  For a time, for Ning Chong, the host stage was actually divided into three small groups. Qi Changlao and Wang Changlao, among others, looked at Ning Chong with favor;

  While Ning Xingbi and most others despised Ning Chong with all their might;

  Finally, there were also a few who remained silent and neutral.

  After a brief argument, the crowd was after all family elders and felt that arguing to the point of red faces and thick necks would be undignified. So they ceased their efforts and decided to wait and see how Ning Chong performed next, and whose face would actually be slapped by the outcome.

  After the debate subsided, Li Yi beside Ning Xing said in a low voice: "Clan leader, how can this Ning Chong be so powerful! Last year's Ning Kai Chen, who almost entered the top five, was actually blown away by him with one move! How is this possible!"

  The clan leader Ning Han's face still wore a relaxed smile, but his muscles clenched tightly several times. In fact, if he hadn't cultivated his temperament to be as deep as an abyss, he would have almost burst out in rage and shouted loudly. Because Ning Chong had once again used his actions to destroy his plans, severely slapping him in the face.

  He waved his hand, Ning Xingbi suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "This little thief's strength is indeed beyond my expectations! But it doesn't matter, Ning Kaiqiang is just a stronger pawn than Ning Dafeng. I don't believe that this waste can really defy the heavens, pass all the levels, and kill his way into the top five! Just continue to do what I told you."

  Li Yi's eyes flashed coldly and he responded with a single word: "Yes!" before retreating.

  Ning Zhong naturally didn't know about the controversy surrounding him on the host stage, his match ended early and he now has some time to watch other people's matches.

  After the first round of competition, there were less than 100 people left in the competition. After the first round of elimination, the quality of the second round improved significantly, with the duration and excitement of the matches increasing substantially.
