Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 220 - 101: Ended with One Punch!_2
Don't even mention Medicine King Valley—Vajra Temple, which has existed for over a thousand years, still dares not provoke them directly.
This is the greatest force behind Hong Minghu; the Great Xia Martial Saint is his backer.
At the same time,
Lin Jiaer, a student of the Martial Arts Garden, was silently watching Lv Renyao's retreating figure.
"Brother Lv, you must win! I don't want to become a laughingstock!!" Lin Jiaer whispered to herself in her heart.
At this moment, she also had some regrets in her heart, regretting not listening to her aunt.
...
Before the platform,
A white shadow leaped up like a roc, gliding through the air.
In the blink of an eye, it landed on the platform.
"We meet again!" Lv Renyao looked at Jiang Ning with a teasing expression on his face.
"Are all the students of the Martial Arts Garden like you?" Jiang Ning shook his head slightly.
Lv Renyao, upon hearing the sarcastic tone in Jiang Ning's words, remained completely unfazed in his heart.
"What's wrong? Scared?"
"No more talk, come on!" Jiang Ning spoke directly.
"Fine by me!" Lv Renyao said with a smile on his face.
Then he said, "I choose to compete in hand-to-hand combat, you should give up your sword!"
As his words fell, he looked at Jiang Ning with a mockingly amused expression.
He had just finished watching Jiang Ning's fight with Xie Xiaojiu, and he admitted that Jiang Ning's swordplay was outstanding,
Clearly having reached the realm where the sword moves freely as one with the wielder.
Such transcendent swordplay outstripping that of Xie Xiaojiu was therefore not surprising.
However, from this, he also inferred that Jiang Ning must not have much skill in hand-to-hand combat.
Because a person's time is limited.
One only has twelve 2-hour periods in a day.
Both sword practice and martial training are required.
He had also briefly learned that Jiang Ning's time practicing martial arts had been very short.
Nothing like them, who began training as soon as they turned fifteen and their bones were fully developed.
Such a short training period, being able to step into the Martial Arts Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm, and with such outstanding swordsmanship as well as a very good movement technique,
In this situation, one didn't need to guess to know that hand-to-hand combat must be Jiang Ning's weakness.
This was Lv Renyao's judgment in his heart.
Therefore, this time stepping onto the platform, he was full of confidence in his heart.
Using his strength to attack the enemy's weakness, how could he not win?
At the same time,
Facing Lv Renyao's proposal to compete in hand-to-hand combat, Jiang Ning could only nod slightly.
The challenger, if using hand-to-hand combat, would mean the defender must also respond with hand-to-hand combat.
This was the rule of defending the platform.
...
At the same time,
Below the platform,
"Hisss, Jiang Ning is in trouble now!"
"Yes! This person is a Martial Arts Garden student, and not just any student!"
"Speaking of the Martial Arts Garden, I know a bit; in the Garden, Ninth Grade is one level, Eighth Grade is another, and surpassing Eighth Grade, one can take the assessment to advance to the academies in the county. This Lv Renyao, in the Martial Arts Garden Eighth Grade, is a top-notch fighter, not inferior to the students who have just passed the assessment and became team leaders!"
"In that case, doesn't it mean Jiang Ning will also stop here?"
"It's inevitable! How can someone from our Luoshui County compete with students from the county academy?"
"Yes! How can we compete? It's just a bit too unfair!!"
"Fairness? These two words simply don't exist in this world!"
"..."
For a while, the few people who were discussing fell silent.
...
At that moment,
Jiang Ning, on the platform, turned a deaf ear to the discussions below.
He said to the man presiding over the assessment, "Sir, I would like to return my weapon."
"Throw it over here!" the official said.
"Yes!" Jiang Ning replied.

With a flick of his wrist, the long sword flew into the hands of the man presiding over the assessment.
After taking the sword, he placed it back on the weapon rack.
At that time.
"Are you ready?" Lv Renyao asked.
"Come on!" Jiang Ning took a slight step to the side and spoke indifferently.
The next moment,
The motionless Lv Renyao suddenly burst into action from stillness, his body lunging forward, his white robe puffing up from the gusting wind and making a whooshing sound.
Amidst the billowing robes, he resembled a white crane spreading its wings to pounce.
Halfway through his advance, Lv Renyao's right hand shot out from under his long sleeve.
The sleeve roared, and his palm was already joined, seeming to be accompanied by mist and clouds.
...
"Stacked Cloud Palm!" Someone suddenly spoke out from the direction of the Martial Arts Garden students.
"Brother Lv is making his move without holding back, going straight for his signature Stacked Cloud Palm!"
"Yes! Brother Lv's Stacked Cloud Palm grows stronger with each strike, surpassing the last. Unless Jiang Ning can break Brother Lv's momentum, defeat is the only outcome. Brother Lv isn't giving that kid any chance!"
"That's right! Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its strength; so how could Brother Lv be careless since he's entered the ring?"
"You're saying Jiang Ning can take a few of Brother Lv's palm strikes?"
"I guess three strikes!"
"I guess two strikes!"
"I guess five strikes!"
"Five strikes? Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!!!"
"Exactly, taking Brother Lv's five strikes, that's absolutely impossible!! I also guess two strikes!"
"..."
Beneath the arena, the students from the Martial Arts Garden began to speculate in various opinions.
...
On the arena.
Facing the strong attack from Lv Renyao, Jiang Ning was unmoved.
At this moment, seeing Jiang Ning's calm and composed demeanor, Lv Renyao was not angered but instead became more alert.
"It seems like it's not that simple!" Lv Renyao said to himself.
He then gathered his strength, and his attack increased in intensity by a notch.
He certainly didn't think Jiang Ning was a fool, a fool who doesn't know how to dodge.
Jiang Ning's actions, in Lv Renyao's view, must be backed by some confidence.
It's time to end this!!
Seeing Lv Renyao had come within ten feet of him, Jiang Ning thought to himself.
The next moment.
Jiang Ning stepped forward, his five fingers clenched into a fist.
He punched out.
Five layers of power erupted within him instantly.
This is bad!!!
Lv Renyao, feeling the strong wind pressure coming from ahead, had his pupils suddenly contract, filled with horror.
Wrong!
Everything was wrong!!
These thoughts flashed through Lv Renyao's mind in an instant.
At that moment.
He felt Jiang Ning's fist pounding into the center of his palm.
Feeling the overwhelming force like a vast ocean, Lv Renyao's heart was filled with despair.
What mastery of punches and kicks.
At this moment, Lv Renyao realized that in front of absolute power disparity, all were meaningless.
Lv Renyao also understood, the moment he had chosen to confront the attack head-on, his defeat was already sealed.
Because Jiang Ning's power was so strong it was not like a human's, but like that of a demon beast.
Crack—
The sound of bone breaking travelled from Lv Renyao's arm into his ears.
The next instant.
The punch that hit Lv Renyao's palm sent him flying outside of the arena.
"A bit weak!" Jiang Ning frowned and thought to himself: "But I did hold back just now, he shouldn't be dead! If he is, that would be somewhat troublesome!"
Thinking this, Jiang Ning inwardly sighed.
"Still too reckless!"
"To unleash full strength with a single move!"
"I didn't expect Lv Renyao, with all his might, to be so weak, even weaker than Xie Xiaojiu, which is surprising!"
With these thoughts, Jiang Ning shook his head once again.
...
Below the arena.
Witnessing this scene.
The crowd involuntarily gaped.
"Did I see that right?"
"You saw right!!"
"Sss! Just one punch?"
"Yeah! Just one punch!!"
"That's too exaggerated!"
"Yeah! Way too exaggerated!!"
"I thought these Martial Arts Garden students were so strong? And yet he was sent flying with a single punch?"
"It may not necessarily mean the Martial Arts Garden student is weak!"
"Are you saying... it's Jiang Ning who's too strong?"
"Mhm! Yes!! Perhaps Jiang Ning is far stronger than we imagined! Didn't you hear the conversation between those Martial Arts Garden students just now? The student who entered the arena is not the least bit weak!"
"..."
On the arena.
"This strong?" The man hosting the assessment looked at Jiang Ning in surprise.
In the stands.
"This strong?" Hong Minghu was also astonished as he watched Jiang Ning on the arena, his interest piqued.
"Well done! That's how it should be done! That's the thrill!!" Lin Qingyi, looking at Jiang Ning, revealed a smile on her lips, her interest in him growing.
Below the arena.
"So powerful!!" Li Qing's eyes flashed brightly.
"Brother Jiang is so powerful?!!" Zhou Xing was immensely astonished.
"Damn it! Why did I hesitate just now!!!" Wang Jin, upon witnessing the scene, couldn't help but slap his thigh.
He then thought to himself: "If I had known my disciple was this strong, I should have accepted Yu Yuan's bet!!"
