Chapter 196: Complete Victory
“Master, Hall Master.”
The executive director of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall, Wu Ze, who was in charge of the daily operations and management of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall, bowed respectfully to the two people walking in front. Only then did he turn his gaze to Xue Zhengming, who was walking behind, and nod lightly at him.
“Junior Brother Xue.”
Xue Changhao only casually grunted in response before asking, “How’s the situation now?”
“Master, Chu Nan is fighting with Junior Brother Liu Chongyun. The outcome can’t be determined at the moment.”
“Chongyun… what about before him? How many people fought him? How was the outcome?”
“This…” Wu Ze’s expression was a little ugly, “Before Junior Brother Liu Chongyun, seven junior brothers have already fought with Chu Nan. They…”
Seeing that Wu Ze was a little hesitant, Xue Changhao and the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall Master, Jiang Liu, frowned.
“What? He had more wins than losses?”
“No…” Wu Ze shook his head with a bitter smile, “It’s not that, but… we lost every match.”
“How is that possible?!” Xue Zhengming could not help but shout, “Even if the first two can’t defeat him, will the people behind not know Chu Nan’s standards and casually go up to embarrass themselves?”
“That won’t happen.” Wu Ze still smiled bitterly with a trace of shock and confusion in his expression, “Previously, Chu Nan defeated Brax in front of us. Everyone naturally knows that his actual level is far from being estimated by the standard of an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. Therefore, the person who went up to challenge was at least a third-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. Junior Brother Wang Mondo who went up before Junior Brother Liu Chongyun has already reached the peak of the fourth-stage Internal Breath Realm and is only a step away from breaking through to the fifth-stage.”
“But they still lost?” Xue Changhao had a calm expression, as if he was not surprised by this result.
“Yes, Master.” Wu Ze lowered his head in shame, “We are useless and have embarrassed the martial arts hall. Please punish us.”
“What’s there to punish?” Xue Changhao smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was fine, “It’s not that you’re useless, but that Chu Nan is too strong. If I have to punish you every time you lose to other martial artists, wouldn’t the only thing I do every day be to punish you?”
Wu Ze looked up in surprise.
As the eldest disciple of Xue Changhao and entrusted by him to be in charge of the daily management of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall, Xue Changhao was much closer to him than the other disciples, so he naturally knew some relatively secret things.
He knew very well that his master had vented his anger on Chu Nan because he had been forced to hand over a precious B-rank martial technique. Every time someone mentioned Chu Nan in front of him, he would be unhappy.
Why was it that Chu Nan had already come knocking on his door and even defeated several disciples in the martial arts hall? In Wu Ze’s opinion, it was no different from slapping the faces of everyone in the martial arts hall. Why was his master still so calm?
“But Master, if this continues, I’m afraid…” Wu Ze thought for a moment and hesitated.
“There’s nothing to worry about.” Xue Changhao smiled and turned to instruct Xue Zhengming, “Zhengming, since Chu Nan has pointed out that he wants to challenge you, go ahead. You can’t avoid the battle and become a laughing stock.”
Xue Zhengming hesitated.
“Dad, but I… I’m afraid I’m not his match… What if I embarrass the martial arts hall? I think we should let Senior Brother Zhao go. He can definitely win…”
“What a joke!” Xue Changhao suddenly frowned and shouted sternly, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? It’s true embarrassment if you don’t dare to face your opponent! Your Senior Brother Zhao is already a second-stage Void Break Martial Artist. If he fights, even if he defeats Chu Nan, who’s only at the initial-stage Internal Breath Realm, won’t it be even more embarrassing if word gets out?”
“Yes…” After being reprimanded by Xue Changhao, Xue Zhengming could only obediently lower his head.
Seeing Xue Zhengming’s embarrassed expression, Xue Changhao sighed and slowed down.
“You don’t have to feel so pressured. I think Chu Nan only came this time to spar. It’s just that the disciples are too nervous and caused this matter to blow up.”
Xue Changhao turned to look at Jiang Liu.
“Brother Jiang, I’m afraid you have to show your face now.”
Jiang Liu smiled and nodded. “Alright.”
After saying that, he patted Xue Zhengming’s shoulder and walked towards the first arena with his hands behind his back.
Xue Zhengming raised his head and glanced at Jiang Liu’s back before looking at Xue Changhao.
Xue Changhao glared at him, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up!”
Only then did Xue Zhengming wake up from his dream and follow.
Seeing the two of them disappear around the corner, Xue Changhao heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Liu was mature and cautious. After being the Hall Master for so many years, he had always allowed the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall to develop steadily and had never made any mistakes.
If he dealt with this matter, he would definitely be able to handle it extremely well and guarantee that nothing would happen.
Moreover, he had expressed his intentions very clearly just now. Jiang Liu clearly could not be wrong.
“Did you record the scene of Chu Nan defeating your junior brothers?” Xue Changhao asked Wu Ze.
“They’re all stored in the monitoring room. Master, if you want to see them, you can take them out at any time.”
“Let’s go take a look.” Xue Changhao waved his hand and walked towards the monitoring room.
…
Bang!
Chu Nan punched his opponent’s palm and felt the surging force coming from his palm. He was not shocked but happy. He cried out in his mind and his Internal Breath surged. He exchanged blows with his opponent and used the recoil to twist his body comfortably to the left. He raised his right leg and kicked backward.
This kick already carried the Fourth Revolution Internal Breath of the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique. When his right leg streaked through the air, it immediately brought about countless cyclones and emitted a sharp ear-piercing sound. Even the airflow in a large area around Chu Nan was disturbed, causing a small storm.
Liu Chongyun, who was fighting him, did not dare to delay when he saw this. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward and slapped out, aiming for Chu Nan’s left back. However, he wanted to force Chu Nan to attack the gap revealed by his change of move before his body could completely turn around.
At the very least, he had to force Chu Nan to defend and change his move again to fall into a passive state.
However, Chu Nan was completely unmoved. When Liu Chongyun took a step forward, he had already raised his right arm. However, he did not swing his fist. Instead, he bent it and smashed down with his elbow, hitting Liu Chongyun’s palm that was attacking his back.
Boom!
This elbow still contained a powerful Fourth Revolution Internal Breath. In a head-on collision, it was slightly weaker than the full-strength strike of a third-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist like Liu Chongyun, causing Chu Nan’s body to be forced to the left.
However, it was this tilt that caused Chu Nan’s flying kick to suddenly rise. It was originally aimed at Liu Chongyun’s waist, but now, it was aimed at his shoulder.
Liu Chongyun had just exchanged blows with Chu Nan, so it was very difficult for him to casually twist his body to dodge. He could only barely lean back and allow the tip of Chu Nan’s foot to brush past his nose.
However, Chu Nan’s right foot drew an arc and suddenly landed.
Liu Chongyun could not dodge and this kick landed on his chest.
Boom!
The terrifying force on Chu Nan’s right foot landed with a powerful pressure. Liu Chongyun’s entire body seemed to have been struck by a huge hammer that fell from the sky and he fell to the ground.
His right foot landed between Liu Chongyun’s legs, not far from his vital points.
A nickname that Chu Nan had spread widely because of his performance in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition instantly flashed through Liu Chongyun’s mind, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
