Chapter 451- Arena Competition (2)
Along with a side, a body jumped up into the air and it was another young martial master. Both of the young men were in their 20s, fairly talented. They were both confident that they could join the Cheng’s.
“My name is Zhou Tongda. Greetings, Brother Tai!”
“Same here!”
The two exchanged their greetings politely and there was a sense of challenge in both of their eyes.
Without further ado, Zhou Tongda held his palms together and, between his palms, came a yellow stream of qi. His body shook and created airwaves around him as though he was going to shatter the airflow around him. His entire body was surrounded by an air of fierceness.
Tai Wulang saw what his palms had down and replaced his despite with seriousness. Suddenly, moving like an arrow, he threw out a punch that dredged up arrow-like sharp qi that aimed straight at his opponent.
BOMB!
Two strong qi were released at the same time and cracking sound could be heard ringing in the air. Both of the young men took a few steps back at the same time.
The crowd didn’t expect the both of them to be pretty decent in their abilities and the very first battle was already so spectacular that everybody’s eyes lingered on the stage.
Old Man Ying and Elder didn’t look too overly excited. They were experts in this area and could tell right away someone’s skill level in just a couple of moves.
There were looks of approval on the two old men. It’d appear that both of these young men would be taken up if all went well.
“These two are pretty good!” nodded Mo Xuanzun.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and didn’t say anything. Battling was her weakness, and she wasn’t skillful when it came to watching battles so there was not much she could contribute.
The battle on the stage was getting progressively more intense, along with rumbling sounds.
In the span of an incense, everybody had lost count of how many styles they have exchanged already.
BAM!
With a low, thudding noise, Zhou Tongda was hit squarely by Tai Wulang’s palm and his body was sent flying high up like a kite with a broken string before falling heavily on the edge of the stage!
“Zhou Tongda had lost this battle!”
Old Man Ying announced the result of the first battle as he watched the young man struggled onto his feel on the stage. He said to the panting Tai Wulang, “You can wait for the next challenge, or you can quit now and just get a bamboo stick and wait on the side!”
“Mr. Elder, I would like to stay in for a little longer!” This was the perfect opportunity for him to demonstrate his ability, Tai Wulang wasn’t going to let this opportunity went by.
One must knew that only the strong one would be valued by the housemaster and the more valued they were, the more resources they would receive for their cultivation. At this moment, everybody wanted to give it their best.
Old Man Ying didn’t seem to be surprised by his words. He nodded slightly and said to the one who was wiping away blood from the corner of his mouth, “Zhou Tongda, you can take a bamboo stick and wait on one side!”
“Yes, thank you, Mr. Elder!”
Zhou Tongda took a bamboo stick and let out a sigh of relief. At the very minimum, he now has a shot at it.
“Anyone else who wanted to challenge him can come up now!”
As soon as Elder Ying was done talking, there was a breeze on stage and another unaffiliated was standing on the stage. The clothes that he had on was not too overly fancy. He was tall and slender, high spirited and a look full of pride.
“A mid-level marital artist. That’d explain it!”
Some from below the stage could tell his cultivation level. It was only natural that someone of his level would look down on Tai Wulang, who was only a novice martial master.
“My name is Ning Ji. You may start!” Said Ning Ji nonchalantly. As a mid-level martial master, he felt quite confident going up against this opponent in front of him.
“And I shall!”
