Chapter 306 - Imperial Family Martial Artist (1/2)

It was truly rare that a Yang Grade powerhouse went up to a ring to challenge a Yin Grade martial artist.

The crowd knew there were cases where some geniuses, who were remarkably talented, had a profound family background, or had several strange encounters, joined higher-ranked challenges and became victorious. Nonetheless, there was a huge gap between Yin Grade and Yang Grade. Besides, it was quite surprising that Ou Yangming did not seem like a Yin Grade martial artist at all.

A Yang Grade powerhouse, who stimulated his potential and possessed a wonderful lost step technique, could not defeat Ou Yangming. At last, Yan Xishan gave his all to escape. Fortunately, he was fast to react because he would be the one being taken down if the fight continued.

In other words, Ou Yangming was powerful enough to be on par with most Yang Grade powerhouses or was even superior to them.

The crowd slowly fell silent. Earlier when Zuoqiu Hongyuan dominated a ring, the crowd was in high spirits as they swore to take him down. With that, many Yang Grade powerhouses from different regions eyed him and were eager to challenge him.

They knew they might not necessarily be a match for Zuoqiu Hongyuan, but they secretly looked forward to fighting him. Since Zuoqiu Hongyuan dominated a ring, he would be faced with endless challengers taking turns to tire him out.

n.o.body believed that the genius from Huangsha County could persist for 10 days, but most Yang Grade powerhouses were just waiting for the right time to challenge him.

Nevertheless, n.o.body paid attention to Zuoqiu Hongyuan anymore.

The crowd was drawn by a Yin Grade martial artist, and they could not wait to get rid of him.

Whether it was Zuoqiu Hongyuan or Wu Hanning, they were both renowned gifted figures and had the cultivation bases at the peak of Yang Grade. Even if they ended up succeeding in dominating their respective rings, perhaps the crowd could cover up their dissatisfactions by praising them.

However, if a Yin Grade martial artist successfully dominated a ring…

Many Yang Grade powerhouses below the ring flushed such that their faces burned.

Far away, Wu Hanning curled her lips into a smile. She looked back and forth between Zuoqiu Hongyuan and Ou Yangming, and she especially found it funny when she noticed the gloomy look in the former’s eyes.

The fact that Zuoqiu Hongyuan suddenly dominated a ring proved that he wanted to take the opportunity to gain a reputation and to earn political deals for the Zuoqiu family. That said, he could not back out anymore because Ou Yangming—the little freakshowed up.

As such, the crowd no longer aimed at Zuoqiu Hongyuan, but Ou Yangming. Under these circ.u.mstances, even if Ou Yangming was defeated and Zuoqiu Hongyuan managed to defend his ring, the latter would not have the limelight.

Another middle-aged man slowly made his way up to the ring after a moment of silence.

He did not walk fast, but exclaims were heard when he appeared.

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows, and he could tell from the crowd’s reaction that the person was famous, but he did not know much about the popular people in the capital. Perhaps the young fellow had heard of people like Wu Hongxi, who was renowned all over the world, but if the person was only a Yang Grade powerhouse…

Given that a person was not a Supreme Great Ancestor, who would pay attention to him or her?

Despite that, Ou Yangming did not notice or simply could not see through the scarf on Wu Hanning’s face.

Her face darkened at the moment as it took on a grave expression. The middle-aged man slowly approached Ou Yangming and put his hands behind his back. He nodded and remarked, “You’re not bad.”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Thank you for the praise. How should I address you, senior?”

“I’m Wu Haohan,” the middle-aged man answered proudly. “An imperial family martial artist?” Ou Yangming’s face changed as he was surprised.

Wu Haohan nodded and said, “Ou Yangming, you’re very bold, but this isn’t a place for you, so please leave.”

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and asked, ‘Why?”

“Because your cultivation base isn’t up to standard,” Wu Haohan responded without any hesitation, “You’re only a Yin Grade martial artist, so if you succeed in dominating a ring, can the Myriad Treasure Meet be held smoothly?”

“Please forgive me for being ill-informed, but when did the Myriad Treasure Meet set a rule where Yin Grade martial artists can’t dominate rings?” Ou Yangming chuckled.

They neither spoke loudly nor softly, so the crowd heard them clearly and burst out laughing. Despite that, the people had a strange look on their faces after they laughed.

It was true that there was no such rule in the Myriad Treasure Meet, but honestly, apart from a freak like Ou Yangming, no other Yin Grade martial artist would have the guts to do something as shocking as that. Even if the martial artists were extremely daring, how could they dominate a ring when many Yang Grade powerhouses were watching?

The rule did not have to be stressed at all.

Wu Haohan’s face turned dark. “Ou Yangming, are you saying that you won’t leave?”

“It’s easy if you want me to leave,” Ou Yangming said with a smile.

“What conditions do you have?” Wu Haohan was displeased.

Ou Yangming shrugged and smirked. “Don’t you just have to defeat me?”

The crowd was stunned at first, but they soon laughed out loud.

Wu Haohan eventually looked grim, and he noted, “I’m persuading you out of a good intention because I take pity on a talented person like you, yet you treat this as a game.”
