892 Giant Spiritual Flaming Palm (1/2)
”That's Senior Mo!”
A woman wearing a green dress who was standing in front of the spectator podium screamed. She stared at challenge ring 49 unblinkingly. She was none other than Wang Qinghan.
The Zhongyu Sect, which stood behind Wang Qinghan, ranked third among all sects in the martial arts circle. It also had the support of the mysterious sects of the inner world. As the young sect mistress of Zhongyu Sect, she naturally had the right to come to Dragon City.
”Senior Mo's cultivation levels are incredible, and he is so young. It is normal for him to participate in the Heaven List Tournament. If he had been in the previous tournaments, he would have placed first on the Heaven List without any doubt. However, the Heaven List Tournament this year is more difficult than one can imagine. I don't know how it will end,” Wang Qinghan said softly.
It had only been two short weeks since they had parted at the Crimson Star Sect, and she had a great understanding of Mo Wen's powers. Furthermore, not only was his cultivation level terrifying, but he also had amazing medical skills. Her cold body had been completely dealt with. It no longer was a threat to her life and instead was an aid to her cultivation.
”Qinghan, is that the person the Senior Mo you mentioned?” An elderly man next to Wang Qinghan turned to ask her curiously. He was the sect leader of Zhongyu Sect. He naturally knew a little bit about Mo Wen from Wang Qinghan.
”That's him. He is a martial arts grandmaster. He is only 20 and is extremely talented.” Wang Qinghan lamented slightly. She was just a little older than him.
”You've underestimated him. Being able to enter the Mechanized Maze City is not something an ordinary martial arts grandmaster can do. Furthermore, one of his opponents earlier was an extremely powerful third realm martial arts grandmaster. Someone like him no longer belongs to the same world as we do.
Wang Jingqiu, the sect leader of Zhongyu Sect sighed softly. As the sect leader of a large sect, he had more experience than Wang Qinghan.
Actually, there really wasn't much that involved them in this martial arts circle convention. They already lost the ability to compete when the legendary hidden martial arts strain appeared. A few days ago, the inner world sect that had silently supported Zhongyu Sect had notified them to give up on this martial arts circle convention.
After this tournament, the original Ten Great Sects of the martial arts world would probably be changed completely. None of the ten would survive.
Zhongyu Sect was not the only sect that had noticed Mo Wen. There were some who knew Mo Wen or those who knew of him.
For example, Lan Zhongzhi of the Cold Light Pavilion, Swordsman Zong Changsheng and Pei Fengwu of the Maple Forest Valley, Granny Jin Hua and Jin Ying of the Golden Dragon Sect, and Gao Hanshan and Jun Wulei of the Gao Clan…
”You have to look at a man with new eyes after you part when he later improves like that. This saying is most apt to describe Mo Wen!” Lan Zhongzhi said. Mo Wen was someone he admired. How long had it been since they parted at the Fighting Spirit Tower?
”I have waited for several hundred years and the day has finally come. The Ming Preservation Faction can finally hold our heads up.” Gao Hanshan was extremely excited.
…
After Mo Wen killed Zhang Feng, his points rose from 20,000 to 50,000. He rose from somewhere in the 20s on the ranking board to 12th place in an instant. The person in 10th place only had 60,000 points. Mo Wen would be able to make it into the top ten if he gained another 10 to 20,000 points.
Mo Wen did not immediately leave the challenge ring. Instead, he continued the challenge. The jade pendant in his hand glowed and he lost 20,000 points. On the central screen, a message stated that challenge ring 49 was betting 20,000 points on an ordinary match.
Mo Wen had raised the bet from 10,000 to 20,000 because he knew that most of the criminals would be fearful after he killed Zhang Feng. They would not dare to fight him in the ring. He had raised the stakes to entice them.
A 20,000 points challenge ring had only appeared a few times in the Death Corner Fighting Ring. There were not many people who would bet so many points on a single challenge because the risks were too high. That was unless they were extremely confident in themselves.
Currently, the highest points in the challenge ring were 30,000. It was a record set by the person in second place and no one had surpassed that until now. A terrifying criminal had appeared in the 30,000 points match. He was much scarier than Zhang Feng. The competitor called Dark Hand had won, but it was a close match.
That was because almost no one dared to take up the challenge as long as Dark Hand was in the challenge ring. As such, unless he used a startling amount of points as bait; otherwise, no one would challenge him.
It was the same for Mo Wen. There would probably not be a lot of people who would be willing to challenge him if he gave out 10,000 points. But if he gave out 20,000 points, it would be enough to stir up the interest of some people.
”Has it gone up to 20,000 points? The young man who understood the esoteric aura seems to be very confident. Forget it, 20,000 points is worth showing my hand once.”
A short and small figure emerged from the crowd. He walked normally, but walked up into the sky in a few steps and appeared in front of the challenge ring.
The person looked like a dwarf. He was probably not taller than 1.3 meters and wore a plaited bamboo hat on his head. One could not tell what he looked like but there were lines that looked like beast markings running down his exposed arms.
”It's him.”
”He's finally attacking! That young man is about to be down on his luck now.”
”Don't think that you can behave arrogantly in the heart of the Red Stone just because you have some abilities. You will die if the real powerhouses come out.”
…
Many criminals immediately recognized the person who appeared in front of challenge ring 49. Their eyes were filled with great respect and fear. It was as if the man was a devil and they could not help but quake in fear when they saw him.
Other than the criminals, many competitors also recognized the man. Everyone looked at him.
