Chapter 18: Competition on the Arena
The man was a young man who looked about 18 or 19 years old. He was burly, with neat short hair, thick eyebrows and a straight nose. His tiger eyes were bright and sharp. He was wearing a simple khaki training suit, which gave people a refreshing and neat feeling.
Xu Yang immediately recognized that this person was Nangong Chongshan.
"Brother Nangong, why is it you?" Xu Yang approached and said.
"Brother Xu, you are here too. I just happened to pass by here when I came to the market. I have heard of this Chen Kang. He is used to being domineering outside because of his family background. In fact, he is a bully who is afraid of the strong and bullies the weak. Today he bullied a little girl here. I want to see what he can do."
"Brother Nangong took action for justice, and his chivalrous spirit is admirable. The girl on the stage is my fellow practitioner in the Wood Spirit Academy, and she is also a friend. The details are as follows..." Xu Yang briefly introduced the ins and outs of the ring incident to Nangong Chongshan.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, I have my own way to deal with this person." Nangong Chongshan replied.
Xu Yang firmly believed in Nangong Chongshan's words. Not long ago, I had already seen the power of Nangong Chongshan's Barbarian Ghost Transformation in the Ghost Spirit Tower Trial. Now, Nangong Chongshan's cultivation has reached the first level of the Void Transformation Realm. If he performs Barbarian Ghost Transformation again, its power can be imagined.
Nangong Chongshan registered his name under the ring, and then jumped onto the ring. He glanced at Chen Kang not far away, and then walked straight to Zhu Liuqing's side.
"Miss Zhu, I am Xu Yang's friend, named Nangong Chongshan. It just so happened that a few days ago, my cultivation realm reached the Void Transformation Realm. I am willing to fight with Mr. Chen over there on your behalf." Nangong Chongshan said.
Seeing Nangong Chongshan's handsome appearance and sincere words, Zhu Liuqing blushed, and then said: "Since you are a friend of Senior Brother Xu, please ask Mr. Nangong to ring this soul power bell first."
Nangong Chongsheng took the soul power bell and placed it on his palm, secretly using the magic formula to inject soul power into the bell bit by bit. Then, circles of purple light patterns fluctuated on the surface of the bell. After a moment, "Boom! Boom!" The soul power bell rang loudly.
Zhu Liuqing nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I'll have to trouble Master Nangong."
"Don't worry, Miss Zhu, I will do my best to fight."
"Master Chen, this Master Nangong is willing to fight on my behalf. Do you agree?" Zhu Liuqing said to Chen Kang.
Nangong Chongshan walked up to Chen Kang, clasped his hands and said, "Master Chen, I am Nangong Chongshan, willing to make a bet on behalf of this Miss Zhu and Master. Please give me some advice."
Seeing Nangong Chongshan easily ring the soul power bell, Chen Kang was puzzled. This person's soul power is definitely not inferior to his own. He asked, "You are a descendant of the Nangong family, who is famous for physical skills in the Tiangui Sect."
"That's right."
In the Tiangui Sect, the strength of the Nangong family is not inferior to that of the Chen family. Most of its descendants are powerful characters who are good at physical training. Normally, Chen Kang would not fight Nangong Chongshan easily. But today, on the stage, in front of many fellow practitioners of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, he could not lose the face of the Chen family.
Facing the situation of riding a tiger and being unable to back down. Chen Kang pretended to be calm and said: "It turned out to be Brother Nangong. I have heard that the physical skills of the Nangong family are extremely domineering. Today, I am fortunate to learn from them and get what I want."
The stage steward invited the other people on the stage to go down, and then activated the protective formation on the stage. A circle of transparent light purple light curtain slowly rose at the edge of the stage.
With the announcement of the stage steward, the arena competition between Nangong Chongshan and Chen Kang officially began.
Chen Kang spread the black folding fan in his right hand in front of his chest, and a pure mana was injected into the folding fan. The next moment, the black folding fan suddenly appeared, showing a bald and fanged green ghost on it.
As Chen Kang's mana continued to flow in, the green ghost became three-dimensional, and the two ghost eyes flashed with strange red light.
"Take it!" Before he finished speaking, Chen Kang shook the folding fan in his hand, and a black wind blade shot out from the folding fan, like a black sickle spinning at high speed and slashing towards Nangong Chongshan.
Nangong Chongshan was not panicked either. He raised his right hand and the iron stick appeared in his hand. With the infusion of mana, the iron stick suddenly glowed with a faint golden light.
Facing the incoming wind blade, the iron stick danced a stick shadow, which was impenetrable during the rotation, forming an iron curtain in front of him. The wind blade and the iron stick collided with each other, making a clanging sound.
Chen Kang knew that Nangong Chongshan was good at physical skills, so he did not dare to fight him in close combat. Several more wind blades were slashed out, deliberately keeping a distance from Nangong Chongshan.
Although the wind blade was sharp, it could not form an effective attack under Nangong Chongshan's flexible body movements and the blocking of the iron stick.
After a few attempts, Chen Kang had a plan in mind. He made a feint, jumped back, and silently recited the magic formula after pulling the distance between the two. Chen Kang's spiritual pressure suddenly increased, and he entered the second level from the first level of the Void Realm.
Looking at the black folding fan in Chen Kang's hand, the black light won with the double injection of mana. The power and speed of the wind blade it emitted increased by more than a dozen times.
Nangong Chongshan was not to be outdone. He pointed his right hand sword at his chest and used the Nangong family secret technique to stimulate his physical potential. As he exhaled a breath of turbid air from his mouth, his aura suddenly increased. Although he did not reach the second level of the Void Realm, he was almost the same.
After more than a dozen rounds, the two sides were still evenly matched.
Xu Yang saw all this under the ring. He secretly admired Nangong Chongshan's strength. If he went on stage to fight Chen Kang, he would probably have been defeated by now. What puzzled him was that Nangong Chongshan did not use the Barbarian Ghost Transformation.
On the ring.
Nangong Chongshan seemed to be on passive defense, but the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
Chen Kang frowned, knowing the consequences of being hit by the iron rod in Nangong Chongshan's hand. Therefore, he was extremely careful and just jumped back and forth from a distance.
Seeing the right time, Chen Kang smiled strangely. His body flew into the air and performed the flying technique.
Although the flying technique can make the fighting space three-dimensional and wide, the body's movement speed is far less than on land. In addition, the space on the ring is limited. If Chen Kang is attacked by Nangong Chongshan, it will be difficult to dodge.
Nangong Chongshan saw it, but he did not dare to be careless.
Chen Kang shook the black folding fan in his hand, and a black whirlwind appeared, wrapping his body in it, making it difficult to see his next move.
The black whirlwind rotated strangely in the air, and Chen Kang inside it did not launch any attack.
Nangong Chongshan thought to himself that Chen Kang was probably luring him to attack. Nangong Chongshan narrowed his eyes, stepped on the ground with his feet, and shot out like an arrow from a bow, swinging his iron rod in both hands and heading straight for Chen Kang in the air.
Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, he went to the tiger mountain.
Chen Kang saw Nangong Chongshan rushing up recklessly, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Chen Kang smiled strangely, and then sprayed a breath of essence into the folding fan in his hand.
Nangong Chongshan, who was already rushing in the air, suddenly felt a strange spiritual pressure coming out of the black whirlwind.
The next moment, a seemingly real green bald evil ghost jumped out of the black whirlwind. The green wind ghost made a piercing roar and swooped down towards Nangong Chongshan.
At this time, the spiritual light emitted by the folding fan in Chen Kang's hand was much weaker than before, and the green ghost on it had disappeared. Obviously, this attack released most of the power of his folding fan magic weapon.
"Nangong Chongshan, let's see how you can dodge!" Chen Kang was delighted when he saw that his plan had worked.
It's a long story, but everything happened in a flash. Nangong Chongshan saw this and his eyes showed determination. He swung the iron stick in his hand, rolled up a circle of yellow whirlwind and flew out of his hand, like a golden dragon, and rushed straight to the green wind ghost.
Chen Kang pointed at the green wind ghost, and the wind ghost twisted and deformed strangely in the air, avoiding the iron stick that was attacking, and then rushed straight to Nangong Chongshan. The iron stick that passed the green wind ghost also went straight to Chen Kang.
Since both sides were already in the air, it seemed that neither could avoid the other's attack, and the victory or defeat would be decided in an instant.
Zhu Liuqing, who was in the audience, clenched her fists, held her breath, and stared at the two people on the stage without blinking.
In the blink of an eye, the flying iron stick came to Chen Kang's feet above the ring. Chen Kang used the folding fan in his hand to swung it towards his body. "Pah!" A gust of wind whipped his body. Chen Kang in the air was like a spinning top being whipped, and instantly moved sideways for a distance.
Looking at Nangong Chongshan in the air at this moment, he could no longer avoid the attack of the green wind ghost. He put his fists together and made a gesture of raising fire to burn the sky, and the magic power of his whole body continued to flow into his fists. A golden light shield condensed above his fists.
At the same time, Nangong Chongshan said softly: "Go!" Before he finished speaking, he saw a yellow light flash at the end of the iron stick that had just jumped over Chen Kang's head, and suddenly a gap opened, and a large golden net sprayed out. The end of the net was connected to the iron stick by a cold iron chain.
Zhang Liang in the air secretly cried out that it was not good. There was no time to dodge, and he was caught in the net. The golden runes on the net quickly tightened, and Chen Kang was instantly wrapped up like a prey that hit a spider web.
Nangong Chongshan uttered: "Fall!"
The iron stick in the air suddenly changed direction, and took Chen Kang, who was still trapped in the net, and made a parabola in the air and fell rapidly downward.
The golden stick shadow was like a meteor with a big tail.
"Bang!"
The man and the stick fell on the ring together, and the whole ring was buzzing, and circles of defensive runes continued to pour out of the ring.
Almost at the moment when Chen Kang's whole body fell, Nangong Chongshan's palms had collided with the green wind ghost. Like a sledgehammer smashing a walnut, the green wind ghost smashed on the light shield above Nangong Chongshan's fists with a rumble. The wind ghost's attack was powerful and heavy, and the light shield shattered at the touch. Nangong Chongshan was covered by the wind ghost, and his body in the air was directly smashed down by the wind ghost.
"Boom!"
The wind ghost pressed Nangong Chongshan onto the ring, and the pressure that splashed around made a squeak, raising a large area of gray mist, making it impossible to see Nangong Chongshan's condition inside.
In this way, the two of them were hit by each other almost at the same time, and each fell on the ring.
