Chapter 289 - Anyone? (1/2)
Chapter 289 Anyone?
There was dead silence in the crowded manor.
All of them were staring at the ring with their jaw dropped.
”Bang!”
The sound of crashing to the ground was heard.
Everyone followed the voice and turned around.
A figure was thrown out of the ring and heavily fell on the ground, who was the grade-two Martial Superior.
He Gaoming's head was held high in disdain.
People started to whisper. ”He, he won?”
”Grade-one beat grade-two?”
”What did I just see?”
”He Gaoming's reputation has just broken through to grade one. How can he beat the young man?”
”How, how could this be possible?”
For a moment, the crowd around the ring was in such a shock.
Though it was not as shocking as the fact that a martial arts practitioner defeated a grade-three Martial Superior, it was enough to make everyone's eyes pop out.
The experts from out of town were also shocked.
They had been questioning that people in Jiangjing martial arts circle was in the hype of those battles, but they finally got to see the real strength of people who practiced martial arts in Jiangjing city.
Even Long Boan couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
On the ring, He Gaoming glanced at the young man who had been knocked out of the ring while hearing the crowd’s exclamation. ”Why is that impossible?”
”That’s the truth. You've seen what just happened. And you don't even have the guts to admit it?”
When that came out, everyone was in shock.
But he was right, though. Although it was hard to believe, it was also the truth. Why didn’t they just admit it?
As martial arts practitioners, didn’t they have the courage to admit others’ strengths?
”We’re not saying that we’ll deny it, but we don't understand how it works. How did a grade-one Martial Superior beat a grade-two? It doesn't make sense.” Someone shouted.
”Who says it doesn’t make sense?”
He Gaoming said, ”If I am correct, the five men, including me, who fought with my master before, had expanded meridians after breaking through to become Martial Superior. At this rate, our meridians are at least double times bigger than the normal meridians of grade-one Martial Superior!”
The moment he spoke, the crowd went wild.
Hearing that, all the powerful martial arts practitioners couldn’t bear to sit there any longer.
They all jumped to their feet.
They knew what the meridians meant to a martial arts practitioner, especially to one who had reached the realm of Martial Superior. The meridians were so vital that it could even measure a practitioner’s real strength.
The bigger the meridians were, the greater the storage of the internal Qi. Moreover, the power of internal Qi equals one’s battle fighting capacity.
The mysterious man could not only help others break through their level but also expand their meridians.
How was that even possible?
”Bullshit.”
... A grade-two Martial Superior stood up and said, ”The human body's meridians are expanding with the growth of strength. As you said, a grade-one Martial Superior's meridians are twice as strong as a martial arts practitioner. Did it mean that your meridians can be expanded to three or even four times?”
”You've got no guts.”
He Gaoming rolled his eyes at the man. ”I’ve proved that with my battle just now.”
The grade-two Martial Superior was shocked.
”It has been proved that the method given by my master is the best way to break through and advance to the next level. We can also make a breakthrough through Heaven Treasure or Earth Treasure to reach the peak of our internal strength. However, none of these methods will have a significant effect on the expansion of our meridians. The meridians couldn’t be expanded widely enough, which wouldn’t strengthen our power enormously.”
Standing in the ring, He Gaoming spoke with confidence.
All the onlookers were starting to discuss what he said.
When they were still in a heated discussion, ”I can prove it!” A cold voice came out of nowhere.
Everyone followed the voice and looked up, only to find that the person who said this was Wan Shuquan.
”Who is this man?”
”Grade-one Martial Superior?”
”How can he prove it?”
”It seems that this mysterious man is quite popular with the locals. He even has someone stand up for him.”
Citizens from other cities teased one after another.
They sounded so disdainful between the lines as if they didn’t believe the mysterious man had such a capacity.
As a result, the surprising voice of the Jiangjing natives was heard immediately in the crowd.
”It's Wan Shuquan, I can’t believe he’s here!”
”If it were him, there was no doubt that He Gaoming was telling the truth.”
”Yeah, who's more persuasive than him?”
These words immediately aroused the curiosity of other practitioners.
”Who is this man?”
”Why could he get so many people to approve of him?”
”How can he convince so many people with only one word?”
All the practitioners from other towns were confused.
”His name is Wan Shuquan, and he is a local martial arts practitioner in Jiangjing. But he was also known for another thing. When the mysterious man first appeared, he personally taught him how to make a breakthrough.”
”Personally?”
”Yes, the mysterious man demonstrated for him at that time and stated that it depended on himself whether he could comprehend or not. As a result, Wan Shuquan broke through his level on the spot.”
Soon, many practitioners from other towns knew about Wan Shuquan’s capacity.
