Chapter 94: Trouble

The next day.

Han Huxiao and Du Che went out of the city to escort the caravan.

Before leaving the city, Han Huxiao asked Xu Ning to be wary of people trying to provoke the martial arts hall.

Almost all martial arts halls in Chun Rin County had received the news that the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall had a new deputy hall master.

Since Han Huxiao was not there, those who wanted to cause trouble for their martial arts hall would definitely not let this opportunity pass.

Competition between the martial arts halls was fierce.

The next morning, Xu Ning and Han Yue had breakfast together.

Afterwards, Xu Ning went in the backyard and watched the instructors teaching martial arts to the apprentices.

As for Han Yue, she was in the foyer, busying herself with registration and other chores.

Soon, it was noon.

Xu Ning suddenly heard some noise from the front hall.

‘They’re coming…’

Xu Ning soon realized that the troublemakers were here.

Sure enough, the instructors in the martial arts hall rushed over to inform Xu Ning that someone was here to provoke the martial arts hall.

‘When Hall Master Han is here, I have nothing to do, but as soon as Hall Master Han leaves, I immediately get busy.’

Xu Ning laughed and walked towards the foyer without hesitation.

Han Huxiao had told Xu Ning that if someone in a higher realm came to trouble the hall, he didn’t need to worry about it.

Even if he retreated from the fight, it wouldn’t be embarrassing for him..

However, if a warrior of the same realm or below challenged him, retreating would bring shame to the martial arts hall, and Xu Ning would lose his reputation in Chun Rin Canton.

With Xu Ning’s current strength, he was not afraid of a warrior in the same realm as him.

As soon as he walked into the foyer, Xu Ning saw several warriors in uniform standing by the door.

In front of them, there was a man who looked to be 30 years old and was more than two meters tall.

This man had a wide back and a thick waist. His thighs were like pillars, and his muscles were almost bursting out of his shirt.

Just him standing there gave people a strong sense of oppression, like a humanoid beast.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu…”

Han Yue looked at Xu Ning arriving from the backyard with a solemn expression on her face.

Although she knew there would soon be people causing trouble for the hall, she didn’t expect it to be such a tough opponent.

Tie Guanxiong was the Deputy Hall Master of the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall.

This man’s martial arts style was overbearing and fierce. He basically had hammers for hands, and he could overpower many warriors of the same realm. He was quite famous in Chun Rin Canton.

Han Yue leaned into Xu Ning’s ear and whispered Tie Guanxiong’s details.

‘A well known warrior?’

When Xu Ning heard this, he began to understand.

This kind of warrior inherently had a strong body, and after being promoted to the mortal realm seventh stage, the force he exerted was also heavy and oppressive.

When confronting such a person, one would face the purest sense of oppression.

The enemy was powerful, but Xu Ning did not panic.

He was in the perfection realm in his Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic. And once he activated his hardened skin, his physical body would be equally as strong.

“Are you the new Deputy Hall Master of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, Xu Ning?”

After Han Yue whispered in Xu Ning’s ear, Tie Guanxiong recognized Xu Ning.

“Yes, I am Xu Ning, the Deputy Hall Master of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.”

Xu Ning took a step forward and came face to face with Tie Guanxiong with a strong posture.

“Tie Guanxiong, Deputy Hall Master of the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall, I came to visit Deputy Hall Master Xu, so please bless me with your wisdom!”

Tie Guanxiong challenged Xu Ning, his voice loud as thunder.

His words sounded polite, but it in fact was a fight declaration.

“Please.”

Xu Ning directly reached out his hand and motioned to the other party to go to the backyard with him.

Tie Guanxiong shook his head. “Let’s do it in the foyer.”

He glanced outside the door at the same time.

People crowded outside the door, all watching in excitement.

It was rare to see a fight, so everyone wanted to take a look.

Moreover, this was a battle between powerful warriors, so everyone wanted to watch.

Tie Guanxiong wanted to fight in the foyer in order to satisfy the curiosity of these people.

But it was more so that he was confident that he could defeat Xu Ning, and through this, he could gain a good reputation.

Xu Ning understood what Tie Guanxiong was doing, but he didn’t mind.

“Brother Tie, the foyer is so small, how can we fight here?”

Xu Ning said, “Let’s go to the backyard. If anyone outside wants to watch the fight, just follow us inside.”

“Okay.”

Tie Guanxiong nodded and agreed.

‘As long as people are watching us.’

The spectators outside the door cheered when they heard that they could enter the backyard of the martial arts hall.

The backyard had a lot more space, making it a better viewing place for a fight.

“Make space on the field!”

Han Yue took the lead to walk into the backyard and dispersed the people practicing martial arts.

The warriors from the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall, instructors and apprentices of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, and the public spectators all formed a circle.

Xu Ning and Tie Guanxiong walked to the middle of the field.

“Bring my hammers.”

Tie Guanxiong said to his entourage.

Soon, a pair of hammers were delivered to Tie Guanxiong.

At the same time, Han Yue also handed a wide knife to Xu Ning.

She knew that Xu Ning’s external skill was a knife technique.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu, be careful.”

Han Yue whispered into Xu Ning’s ear.

Xu Ning responded with a confident tone, “Don’t worry.”

Han Yue retreated, leaving only Xu Ning and Tie Guanxiong in the middle of the circle.

Seeing that Xu Ning was ready, Tie Guanxiong made a loud noise with his two hammers.

He roared and attacked first.

His huge figure was rampant, giving people a strong visual impact.

“Ahh!”

Tie Guanxiong’s double hammers smashed towards Xu Ning’s forehead.

‘So aggressive!’

‘Is he even human?’

“…”

The spectators who came in from outside the door were shocked to see Tie Guanxiong’s attack.

They even stepped back subconsciously for fear of taking collateral damage.

After seeing this, Han Yue and the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall martial artists turned serious with feelings of anxiety in their hearts.

As for the warriors from the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall, they just smiled.

They were familiar with Tie Guanxiong’s fighting style.

Once Tie Guanxiong took the initiative to attack, the other party would inevitably try to dodge.

And once they started dodging, they would fall into Tie Guanxiong’s fighting rhythm.

Tie Guanxiong was not only powerful and explosive, but also full of physical strength. In addition to that, he was also flexible.

As long as he took the initiative, the enemy could only be forced to dodge and defend until they were caught by one of his attacks, which then would lead up to them being completely defeated.

Just by looking at this, they felt that the winner had already been decided.

Everyone watched as Tie Guanxiong slammed the double hammers on top of Xu Ning’s head, when Xu Ning suddenly moved.

But instead of dodging as expected, he slashed forward with the knife in his hand.

The long knife collided with the hammers.

Kacha!

A crack appeared on the ground below Xu Ning’s feet.

To everyone’s surprise, Tie Guanxiong was pushed away!

“How is this possible?”

Tie Guanxiong landed, his eyes widened.

Out of everyone, he was the most surprised.

The moment the hammer and the long knife collided, he felt a tremendous strength, combined with a crushing power of force coming from the knife.

‘This martial artist is good at exerting his force.’

Tie Guanxiong realized that this tall, skinny opponent who looked like a bamboo pole, had a beast hidden in his body!

‘Deputy Hall Master Xu, you’re so strong!’

Han Yue clenched her fists and showed a relaxed look on her face.

Although she had seen Xu Ning fight against her father Han Huxiao, that was just a spar. Its impact was far less shocking than the fight right now.

Xu Ning lifted his foot and shook off the gravel dust on it.

Xu Ning had already activated his hardened skin.

‘I don’t believe it. He’s stronger than me.’

Xu Ning had long since cultivated his Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic to the perfection realm, making his physical body quite strong.

As for exerting force, whether it was the compression type or tearing type, Xu Ning was extremely skilled in both.

After other warriors reached the state mind realm, they would choose to practice their strength according to their fighting style.

As for Xu Ning, with the help of the Martial Arts Panel, he had already integrated all of his skills after his realm breakthrough.

This way, Xu Ning was able to show multiple complex fighting styles, making him unpredictable to his opponent.

“Not bad!”

Tie Guanxiong knew that he had lost face.

He tore off his shirt, revealing his muscles, and began to fight seriously.

And this time, he was even more aggressive.
