Chapter 70 Exposed (Subscription Request)
Arrogant!
This boy is so arrogant!
This is what the seventh-grade martial artists who are waiting for the challenge are thinking at this moment.
I've seen crazy people, but I've never seen anyone as crazy as this.
The Hundred Battles Arena has been around for nearly a hundred years since its establishment. Many geniuses have entered the arena, some of them are arrogant, but none is as arrogant as this one.
"Let me first learn your archery skills!"
A man flew up from under the arena, and Chu Ning drew his bow.
Swoosh! An arrow shot out at such a fast speed that the air exploded, which was breathtaking.
A tuft of the man's hair was gone, and the rest of his hair exploded, making him look like he had an afro.
Hiss! This scene shocked everyone in the audience.
Everyone knew that Ji Yang was showing mercy. The arrow was aimed at the hair. If it had been aimed at the head...
The man on the ring also looked pale. For the first time, he felt that he was so close to death.
He then clasped his fists towards Chu Ning to express his gratitude, said "I admit defeat sincerely", and left the stage in disgrace.
"Fuck, Ji Yang is amazing again."
"When he was in the military camp, his arrows didn't have this much power."
"Did this guy really do it by relying on the Burning Blood Technique? Others who practice the Burning Blood Technique see their Qi and blood decline the more they practice it, but Ji Yang gives me the feeling that his Qi and blood become more vigorous the more he practices it."
Zhang Liang's words resonated with Chen Jing, Qi Xue and others, while Zhao Qin's mouth twitched. Chu Ning definitely hid his strength when he was in the military camp.
After the discussion broke out, there was silence below the ring.
Those seventh-grade martial artists who had been eager to try before were now silent.
Too strong.
Even if they go up, I'm afraid the result will be the same as the previous one.
Let alone three arrows, I can’t even catch one.
They couldn't even see the speed of the arrow as they were watching from the sidelines, let alone see it clearly on the stage.
On one side of the stage, Li Fei's eyes lit up. Ji Yang was so amazing.
"If no one steps forward to challenge, Ji Yang will automatically reach his 50th consecutive victory." The referee said loudly.
Still no one came on stage.
In the eyes of the people below the stage, Ji Yang has already reached the absolute peak of the seventh-grade martial artist realm. Going up would only bring humiliation upon himself. It would be better for Ji Yang to win fifty games in a row.
"So, today's challenge ends here and will continue tomorrow."
Chu Ning had a look of regret on his face, which made the people below the ring speechless. Wouldn't it be good to give you fifty consecutive wins?
"It's different. I heard that the real geniuses are all battle maniacs. They prefer fighting to honor."
"Yes, I guess Ji Yang feels regretful because no one challenges him. Let's wait until tomorrow. If the news gets out today, it won't just be the capital tomorrow. I'm afraid that the seventh-grade martial artists in the nearby states will be restless."
Chu Ning came down from the ring and was about to walk towards Zhao Qin and the others, but was stopped by the girl from the Li family.
"What's up girl?"
"Mr. Ji has won fifty consecutive victories. You can come to my Li family to obtain a martial arts skill book suitable for a general."
Li Fei looked at Chu Ning, her voice much softer than the first day.
Isn't this a clip? However, it does sound comfortable and soft, and my ears are almost numb.
Sure enough, people hate clamps, but they don’t hate the clamps that are applied to themselves.
It's not a clamp at all, it's clearly just a way to please his good sister.
"Don't worry, I will continue to challenge."
Li Fei's eyes lit up: "Master Ji, you are so confident in yourself, is your goal to win seventy games in a row?"
"Seventy consecutive wins?" Chu Ning shook his head: "That's just my beginning."
Li Fei: ...
Watching Chu Ning's back as he walked away, Li Fei muttered, "If I can really win seventy games in a row, I'll have to tell my sister. No, I'll have to tell my sister now."
"Ji Yang, I didn't expect you to be such a hidden talent." Seeing Chu Ning approaching, Chen Jing spoke with a smile.
"The main reason is that I haven't met a real master yet. People don't take people like me who come from a small place seriously."
"If you are not taken seriously, then we will be ignored directly."
Qi Xue said quietly, although Ji Yang's words were modest, it still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
…
…
In the capital city, with the spread of the Li family and the martial artists watching the battle, the name Ji Yang began to spread in the capital city.
Of course, this is only true in the circle of martial artists. For those generals and high-ranking officials of large families, the name Ji Yang is still very unfamiliar.
Day 4.
This time, Chu Ning defeated four opponents in the ring.
These four can be said to represent the limit of a seventh-grade martial artist.
"What a pity! If I were really only a seventh-rank cultivator, I might have really capsized."
Looking at the last defeated guy with a dejected look on his face, Chu Ning sighed in his heart that one should not underestimate the heroes of the world.
Unfortunately, you met me.
It's not unfair for you to lose to me, a seventh-rank martial artist who has already become a master.
After these four battles, no seventh-grade martial artist dared to challenge Chu Ning anymore.
Directly advanced to the 70th consecutive victory.
When referee Li announced Chu Ning's 70th consecutive victory, there was a burning light in the eyes of several generals in the audience.
Seventy consecutive victories already mean being invincible in the same realm.
If you want to continue to accept challenges, you will have to face people who are one level stronger than you.
"Ji Yang's 70-game winning streak has come to an end."
"It's impossible to go any higher. He will have to face powerful military commanders."
"Yes, if Ji Yang is an eighth-grade martial artist, he might have a chance of winning against a seventh-grade martial artist, but for a martial artist to fight against a general, the chance of winning is almost zero."
"Why is there a distinction between martial arts masters and military commanders when both are promoted to the next level? It's because military commanders and martial arts masters are two completely different levels."
None of the warriors present thought that Chu Ning could win next time.
Martial artists, no matter if they are of the ninth or first rank, are all cultivating hidden energy to open up their meridians, the only difference is how much they can open up.
But for a military general, it means that his meridians have been opened up, and he can release his hidden energy.
Normally, a seventh-grade martial artist can deal with five eighth-grade martial artists.
But a military commander, even one who has just entered the ranks, cannot be dealt with by five seventh-grade martial artists working together.
"If Master Ji wants to continue the challenge, then let's do it tomorrow."
"No, just continue now."
Chu Ning refused. He didn't really come here to show off. His goal was to become the master of Li family's fighting skills.
As for the battle between the martial artist and the general, Chu Ning had also figured out how to resolve it.
"Master Ji, are you sure?"
"Sure."
The referee nodded and said, "Master Ji has chosen to continue defending the ring. According to the rules of the Hundred Battles Arena, after seventy consecutive wins, a challenger of a higher realm can come. Are there any friends in the audience who have broken through to the level of a general in the past year?"
Three men stood up. All of them were powerful military commanders, and it took them no more than a year to achieve breakthroughs.
Soon, an old man from the Li family also came out.
Seeing this old man, everyone present had a look of respect on their faces.
Li He, the elder of the Li family, is a fourth-rank military general.
"Heroes emerge young, and it's rare to have someone win seventy games in a row. I will be the referee from now on. Mr. Ji and the others, please let me verify your realm first."
Although Chu Ning's age doesn't seem like he can break through to become a military general, Li He still plans to verify it, as this is also the rule of the Hundred Battles Arena.
If anything goes wrong, the Li family's reputation over the years will be ruined.
Don’t think that this Hundred Battles Arena is of no use to the Li family. On the contrary, the Li family still has to pay some elixirs and martial arts.
But only the family leaders like them knew how wise it was for their great-grandfather to create the Hundred Battles Arena, which was the foundation for the Li family to gain a foothold in the capital.
All the major families in the capital have produced powerful masters, and more than one, but the Li family only has one great-grandfather.
If there were no Hundred Battles Arena, the Li family would slowly decline, and even become so desolate that they would leave the capital a hundred years later.
But as long as the Hundred Battles Arena exists, no matter how declining the Li family is, it will never be cannibalized by other forces.
The Hundred Battles Arena gives talented warriors from humble backgrounds, and even children from some large families, the opportunity to demonstrate their strength.
These young warriors will grow step by step, and when these talented warriors grow up to become the pillars of their respective family forces, the Hundred Battles Arena in their youth will become a memory for them.
No one wants to destroy the beautiful memories of their youth.
With this alone, the Li family is able to gain a foothold in the capital, not to mention the status of the Hundred Battles Arena in the hearts of young warriors. If the Li family is touched, it will easily arouse public anger.
Of course, the most important point is that the existence of the Hundred Battles Arena is not threatening.
My great-grandfather made a rule that the Li family was not allowed to win over the talented warriors on the Hundred Battles Arena. This actually gave other forces an opportunity to use the Hundred Battles Arena to find talented warriors and recruit them under their command.
Li He first checked the hidden power of the three generals, and found that they had indeed just entered the realm of generals not long ago. Then he put his hand on Chu Ning.
When his wrist was grabbed, Chu Ning felt a force pressing towards him through his wrist, which was intended to allow the hidden strength in his body to actively counterattack.
When a person is in danger, the body will resist autonomously.
However, what Li He didn't know was that his hidden power posed no threat to him. Under the concealment of his hidden power technique, the dark power was motionless.
"No problem, please come on stage, Master Ji."
Li He let go of his hand with a smile, and Chu Ning stepped onto the stage again, while the three generals there also lined up in order.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In fact, it was not called a arranged order, but the three of them argued with each other for a while for the first spot to perform, and finally one of them won.
In the eyes of the three, there is no difference between being second and being third, because Ji Yang will lose in the first round.
"Ji Yang, at your age, you have already reached the peak of a seventh-grade martial artist. To be honest, I am ashamed of myself. It is unfair to treat you at the level of a martial general, but this is the rule of the Hundred Battles Arena."
"This person says one thing and means another."
Chu Ning saw that this person kept saying that it was unfair but his expression was very excited, so he knew that this guy wanted to beat him up.
Yes, it is exciting and satisfying to bring a genius who is high above everyone else down to earth.
"Senior, be careful!"
Chu Ning didn't pick up the arrow anymore, but instead picked up a long knife.
Swing the knife.
"Slash the mountain!"
The powerful general on the opposite side was also somewhat moved when he saw Chu Ning's sword, but no matter how good a martial artist's swordsmanship was, it was difficult to hurt him at all.
"I am already stronger than you in realm. It would be unfair to use weapons on you. I will fight you with fists and feet."
The man swung his fist, and with his hidden strength flowing, he actually managed to block Chu Ning's blade.
Swish! The first strike failed, so Chu Ning struck again.
The two men on the ring were like two afterimages, exchanging positions back and forth. Although Chu Ning's sword could not break the man's defense, as a military general, it would be a shameful thing to be hit hard by a martial artist's sword.
After ten moves, Chu Ning's sword power weakened, and the man punched out upon seeing this.
Bang! Chu Ning held the back of the knife against his chest, withstanding the man's punch, but his body staggered back several steps.
The people below the ring sighed. Although they knew that Ji Yang had no chance of winning, they still felt a little disappointed when the moment of defeat came.
"Ji Yang, you have done a great job to be able to hold on for this long. It is an honor to be defeated."
The military general spoke to comfort Chu Ning, but then he frowned because he found that Chu Ning was not in a good condition.
At this moment, Chu Ning seemed to be in a certain state. He held the knife in both hands and began to chop, not at the man, but just chopped in the air.
Each knife is faster than the last.
"Ji Yang has an epiphany and has a chance to break through to become a general. Please be quiet, everyone."
Li He appeared on the stage at some point in time. He looked at Chu Ning with a complicated expression and asked the military commander to leave the stage.
The warriors watching at the scene were about to burst into an uproar because of Li He's words, but when they thought of Li He's words, they quickly lowered their voices.
At this juncture, Ji Yang was about to break through.
"No wonder those geniuses love fighting. Only in fighting can they grow fastest and reach their limits."
"It's not that simple. In my opinion, Ji Yang is only one step away from becoming a military general. This battle just now gave him the opportunity to break through."
"Speaking of those who broke through the realm on the Hundred Battles Stage, Ji Yang seems to be the 32nd one."
Chen Jing and the others stared at Chu Ning swinging his sword in amazement, somewhat unbelievably: "Is he going to break through to become a military commander?"
"Why do I feel that Ji Yang is more qualified to attend the school than us?"
Zhao Qin remained silent as he listened to what Chen Jing and the others said. He was still working hard to break through to the seventh rank, while Chu Ning was about to break through to the military general level.
The gap is getting bigger and bigger.
Three minutes later.
Chu Ning swung his knife.
A blade of energy shot out from the blade and directly cut off the wooden pole on one side of the arena.
This scene once again shocked everyone present.
"Can a newly-appointed general do this?"
"I don't think I can do it. Ji Yang should have opened up multiple meridians at the same time, at least three meridians."
Chu Ning's eyes regained clarity, and he clasped his fists towards the man opposite him: "Thank you, senior, for giving Ji Yang the opportunity to break through to become a general. Please continue!"
The military general's mouth twitched, and he couldn't continue.
You have already broken through to become a general. The sword energy you just used was condensed from the dark energy. With its thickness and sharpness, there is no way I can beat it.
He was just a military commander who had a breakthrough three months ago, and the path he took was through only one meridian, which was incomparable to the path of opening up multiple meridians.
"No need for that. Since you have made a breakthrough to become a general, I will let you win this match as a congratulations to you."
The man found a way out for himself and walked down the stage gracefully, while the two generals queuing behind him felt depressed.
This guy is really good at talking, so what should the two of them do? They will definitely not be able to beat Chu Ning if they go up.
Before the breakthrough, Ji Yang was able to withstand so many attacks with his ferocious swordsmanship. Now that he has broken through to the level of a military general, his strength has skyrocketed several times.
“Haha, although there are often people who break through while fighting on the Hundred Battles Stage, they are all martial masters. Ji Yang, you are still the first in the martial general realm. For such a happy event, I would like to congratulate you and I will not go on stage.”
"Yes, I think so."
…
Li He glanced at the three generals and said nothing. He turned his gaze to Chu Ning and said, "Master Ji has won seventy-three consecutive victories, but I have something to say."
After attracting everyone's attention, Li He said, "Master Ji has just broken through to the rank of general. If he continues to challenge, he will only face fifth-rank generals. This is unfair to Master Ji."
"Elder Li is right."
"Indeed, at the level of a military commander, it may take several years or even ten years to break through a realm. If Ji Yang faces a strong man who has been a sixth-grade military commander for ten years, he will have no chance of winning."
"In fact, after 70 consecutive victories, they were all cross-realm challenges. Ji Yang has just entered the sixth level, and the difference between each level of the generals is huge. It is really unfair to Ji Yang."
The surrounding warriors agreed with Li He's words, but Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. What do you mean, you don't let me win a hundred consecutive victories?
"Therefore, I have decided to postpone the remaining battles for Master Ji. However, in order to avoid people saying that my Li family is reluctant to give out rewards, I will send the rewards to Master Ji in advance, and the rewards will be distributed according to the record of 100 wins."
Hiss! Li He's words shocked everyone present.
Does Elder Li think that Ji Yang can win every time?
Is it a bit exaggerated?
As Chu Ning listened to what Elder Li said, a bitter smile appeared on his face, as he felt that he had been seen through.
What went wrong?
"Mr. Ji, please follow me."
Li He ignored the discussions below and led Chu Ning towards the back of the arena. Behind the Hundred Battles Arena was the Li Mansion.
Chu Ning nodded. Since he had been seen through, but the other party did not expose him and was willing to give him the grandmaster's fighting skills, it seemed that he wanted to negotiate with him.
After the two of them left, only many warriors who were still shocked and unwilling to leave were left at the scene.
…
…
The detached backyard of the Li Mansion is where Li He lives, and at this moment, no one from the Li family can get close except him.
"Master Ji's hidden skills are indeed wonderful, but they overlook one fact. I just checked the dark energy in Master Ji's body and found only a few strands of dark energy, which is consistent with the realm of a seventh-grade martial artist. But with just these dark energies, Master Ji cannot break through to the level of a martial general."
Li He went straight to the point, and the next moment his pressure was released, enveloping Chu Ning.
"Master Ji, what is your purpose in pretending to be a martial artist and breaking into the Hundred Battles Arena?"
Facing Li He's pressure, Chu Ning's expression remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "Elder Li, why bother with this? If you want to negotiate, just talk directly."
After he finished speaking, Chu Ning did not hide his strength and released his pressure.
Li He's expression changed instantly, and he looked at Chu Ning in disbelief: "Master...Master!"
He thought that the Young Master Ji in front of him might be a fifth-rank general or even a fourth-rank general, but he never thought that he might be a master.
"No wonder Master Ji wants to win every time. Your goal is the master fighting skills of my Li family." Li He took a deep breath and said, "The fighting skills can be given to Master Ji."
"What are the conditions?"
