Chapter 299 - Ring Domination (2/2)

The sensation from the ring domination was far more attractive than the Smithing Hall.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, and he casually asked, “What’s a ring domination?”

The servant behind him laughed and responded, “Master Ou, since you’re a blacksmith and not a martial artist, it has nothing to do with you.”

“I suppose the ring domination is related to the Martial Arts Battle?” Ou Yangming chuckled.

“Master Ou, I’m sure you saw ten rings at the square before you came in?” The servant asked softly after some thought.

“That’s right.” Ou Yangming nodded and added, ‘I didn’t just see them; I went on one of them already.’

“The Martial Arts Battle’s victor is chosen from the winners of the rings, but there aren’t many people who are actually qualified to fight. Some superb powerhouses are too impatient to wait, so they’ll dominate one of the rings on the last day of within 3 days of the Myriad Treasure Meet.” The servant looked envious as he continued, “Once someone dominates a ring, he or she is challenging everyone. No matter how many people go up to the ring, he or she will have to accept the challenge unconditionally until the opponent is defeated or they successfully defend their rings.”

Ou Yangming’s heart rate increased, and he took a deep breath. He felt an upsurge of boiling heat flow from his body, and it seemed like it was going to gush out of his body.

Nonetheless, he had tempered his self-control countless times, so he trembled slightly and suppressed the feeling.

He unknowingly stopped walking and asked, “Has anyone succeeded in the past?”

“Of course!” The servant laughed. “Without absolute confidence, how can one have the guts to dominate a ring? But… Ah, Zuoqiu Hongyuan from Huangsha County is being too presumptuous to announce a ring domination on the Myriad Treasure Meet’s first day. Hehe, it’s a magnificent feat that has never happened before!” “Oh, it truly is a magnificent feat…” Ou Yangming mumbled, then he suddenly turned around and walked outside.

The servant was startled, so he called out to him right away, “Master Ou, what are you going? The smithing room is here!” Ou Yangming yelled without turning back, “I know where the smithing room is, but I’ll come back after I witness the feat!”

The servant was shocked. He would have cursed out loud if an ordinary blacksmith was being so unrestrained, but he dared not respond to an Advanced Blacksmith like that. As such, he could only smile bitterly and hoped that Ou Yangming would return as soon as possible.

Ou Yangming flashed and walked at an average speed among the crowd.

Although some people obstructed his path, he could easily slip through like a slippery fish by shaking his body. If someone forcefully stopped Ou Yangming, he would also go between the gaps through leveraged force. Soon enough, he arrived at the square.

Ten rings were situated here, but nine of them were empty at the moment because everyone was attracted to only one of the rings.

An intense fight broke out between two people in the ring. One of them was around He Liangce’s age as he seemed to be around 27 years old, while the other person was a martial arts powerhouse in his thirties or forties.

Ou Yangming was sharp-eyed, so he could instantly tell that they were both Yang Grade powerhouses.

It was normally rare to see a fight between Yang Grade powerhouses, but it was common here.

After watching quietly for some time, Ou Yangming was certain that the young man would be victorious. It was because the young man left adequate leeway each time he attacked and was obviously using leveraged force too, thus he did not consume much energy. Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows a little because while the other people could not tell, everything was clear to him.

Not only had the young man comprehend the integration of Heaven and man, but he also had an exceptional way of executing the state.

Perhaps the young man was not as capable as He Liangce, but his extreme application of nature could allow him to s.h.i.+ne under special circ.u.mstances.

“Zuoqiu Hongyuan is powerful indeed; he’s going to defeat his opponent.” A cold voice was heard not far from Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming grinned. “You have a good eye, Young Lady Wu.”

Before his voice died away, Zuoqiu Hongyuan tugged at and hurled his opponent out of the ring.

Cheers echoed inside and outside the square.

Following that, Wu Hanning slowly stepped forward and glanced coldly at Ou Yangming. For some reason, the young fellow felt guilty again, and he flashed a silly smile at her. “Did you see it?”

“What? Ah… Zuoqiu Hongyuan is remarkable indeed!”

“Hmph!” Wu Hanning scoffed and secretly cursed at him for being a hypocrite, then he gracefully went forward.

Ou Yangming was surprised. “Where are you going?” Without looking back, Wu Hanning replied to him, “Since Zuoqiu Hongyuan can dominate a ring, how can I show a weak impression?”

Ou Yangming shuddered at once. He felt as though he was struck by lightning because he could not suppress his surging heroic spirit anymore.
