Chapter 292 - Earth Treasure and the Bingdi Lotus! (1/2)
Chapter 292 Earth Treasure and the Bingdi Lotus!
He won!
The mysterious man had won!
The entire manor fell absolutely silent and everyone was completely dumbfounded. No one was able to say a single word. Everyone stared at the arena and fixed their gaze on the figure who was a little disheveled but still stood firmly on the stage.
Indeed, Fang Qiu looked a little disheveled.
He had to admit that the power from the dragon's claw was not something that an average kung fu move could imitate.
He couldn't avoid getting injured because he chose to face the dragon's claw head on.
He had sustained injuries on both shoulders.
There were also several bloodied scratched on the back of his hands and the blood had already coagulated on his wounds.
And under him, he held Long Boan captive by his neck.
Long Boan's eyes widened as he looked at Fang Qiu in disbelief and he looked a little dazed and dejected at his defeat.
”I...” Long Boan's throat was dry and parched. He gulped before he admitted reluctantly, ”I admit defeat!”
The moment he uttered those words, the crowd went wild.
”He lost. I can't believe Long Boan admitted defeat.”
”Even if he refused to admit defeat, it was obvious that he had lost!”
”Uh, how is this possible? The mysterious man only had the strength of a martial arts practitioner. How did he manage to defeat a grade-four Martial Superior?”
These people were unable to wrap their heads around what they had just witnessed.
They felt as though everything had been a dream.
It was as though the world that they used to know had collapsed all of a sudden the moment the mysterious man defeated Long Boan. They were unable to accept this reality.
Fang Qiu loosened his grip in the arena.
Long Boan saluted him with clasped fists, then he turned around and left resentfully.
His anger was directed at himself and not Fang Qiu.
”I don't think there's anyone else up to the challenge,” Fang Qiu said as his gaze swept across the rambunctious crowd. ”Since there's no other challenger, I guess I'll see you guys in a few years' time. I'll be waiting for a worthy challenger!”
Then, he made a move to leave.
At this moment, Elder Yi was the first to react and jumped up onto the arena.
”Please wait a moment!” He said.
He had chosen to sit by the round table next to the arena because he wanted to stop the mysterious man from leaving.
After all, he already owed the mysterious man a large debt, it wouldn't be right if he did not return the debt he owed.
”Yes?” Fang Qiu stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Elder Yi.
”Senior John Doe, could you spare me some time?” Elder Yi said softly after he approached Fang Qiu.
As soon as he spoke, Fang Qiu had an idea.
He had wanted to understand the current Wulin situation through Elder Yi and since Elder Yi wanted him to stay, why shouldn't he leverage on this opportunity to have a good chat?
Thus, he immediately nodded and said, ”Alright.”
Elder Yi was thrilled.
Then, he immediately ushered Fang Qiu off the arena and led him toward the manor.
On the other hand, everyone else seemed reluctant to leave when they saw that Fang Qiu was not leaving the manor.
Instead, they started chattering in excitement.
The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
”As expected of Senior John Doe; he managed to defeat grade-three Martial Superiors last week at peak martial arts cultivation and today, he managed to pull off the same feat against a grade-four Martial Superior. This is amazing.”
”Isn't it? I was still worried about him earlier. After all, a grade-four Martial Superior is definitely not someone to be trifled with and Long Boan was even a grade-four Martial Superior who had opened up six meridians.”
”Haha, I feel a sudden urge to laugh now that you brought it up. Long Boan was a grade-four Martial Superior who had opened up six meridians and he opened up all six meridians on his arm. Furthermore, he was a practitioner of the dragon claw, so his attacking force definitely ranked among the top grade-four Martial Superiors. Yet, Senior John Doe managed to defeat him by using his own move against him!”
”He did not back away from a challenge but instead, Senior John Doe lived up to the three words: facing everything head-on!”
”Senior John Doe used his strength and dragon claw to knock Long Boan out after he heard that Long Boan's strongest aspects were his strength and his dragon claw move.”
”Senior John Doe is definitely the pride of the Jiangjing Wulin!”
Every single Jiangjing martial arts practitioner was extremely elated and excited because they were proud of the mysterious man's performance earlier.
Unlike the Jiangjing martial arts practitioners, the foreign martial arts practitioners were still unable to pull themselves out of their dumbfounded reverie. They felt as though their throats had gone dry which robbed them of their ability to speak.
”Six meridians. He was a grade-four Martial Superior who opened up six meridians. Do you know what this means?”
”That's amazing!”
”The mysterious man who is known as Senior John Doe is truly as powerful as the rumors make him out to be. It's incredible!”
”How did he manage to pull off such an amazing feat at martial artist level? How did he manage to possess such an amazing internal force? Where are the limits to a martial arts practitioner?”
This was what they couldn't help but wonder about.
Especially those grade-one, grade-two, grade-three Martial Superiors.
They were completely stunned by what they had witnessed earlier and there were many among them who regretted advancing so quickly. If they had not reached Martial Superior Level, they would still be able to ask Senior John Doe for advice and even be as strong as him.
Then, they thought about how he only used his martial artist level strength to be so powerful.
If he had used his internal Qi, how much more powerful would he have been?
They guessed that even a grade-four Martial Superior would be instantly defeated by him.
