Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Baldy Qiang’s Leap_1

Whoosh!

Chang Guishou’s speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already made it to the entrance of the building.

"You say a Grandmaster is hard to kill? Heh heh, then I really want to try it out!"

Ning Fan moved swiftly and immediately caught up to Chang Guishou from behind.

His forefinger and middle finger came together, slicing through the air with a feigned strike!

Whoosh!

A faint white glow suddenly appeared in the air, like a palm-sized crescent moon, slashing towards Chang Guishou’s back.

"Hmph, I told you couldn’t kill me, and you won’t! My Inner Strength may not be as good as yours, but I won’t engage you in a head-on contest, and if you can’t hit me, what can you do to me?"

Chang Guishou scoffed, sidestepping and avoiding the white glow, taunting, "Ning Fan, releasing your Inner Strength might be powerful, but your Inner Strength is ultimately limited. I want to see how many times you can release it?"

Chang Guishou was right. For ordinary Grandmasters, even if they had mastered the skill of projecting Inner Strength, the amount they had was extremely limited. Even for a Second Rank Grandmaster like Chang Guishou, he could only release five or six strands of Inner Strength at a time before he was nearly drained.

What he meant about Grandmasters being easy to defeat but hard to kill was exactly this point.

Even if he couldn’t beat Ning Fan, as long as he avoided Ning Fan’s Inner Strength, he could easily escape, and if Ning Fan overexerted himself, he might even find an opportunity to counterattack!

"Is that so? Who says I can’t hit you?"

A mocking smile hung on the corner of Ning Fan’s mouth as he changed the direction of his forefinger and middle finger and pointed again towards Chang Guishou.

Whoosh!

The white glow that Chang Guishou had previously dodged unexpectedly curved mid-air, heading straight for Chang Guishou’s front, slashing down directly!

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Chang Guishou, caught off guard, was directly struck in the chest!

Wow!

He flew backward, blood spurting wildly as he stiffly looked down at the deep gash that had almost cleaved him in two on his chest!

Blood was profusely spurting from that deep gash!

"Why... Why can your Inner Strength... turn corners?"

"What... rank of Grandmaster are you exactly?"

After struggling to speak, Chang Guishou fell to the ground with a thud and died.

Divine Tune Sect’s Sky Eagle Hall Elder, Chang Guishou, was thus dead!

To his death, he couldn’t understand how Ning Fan’s Inner Strength could turn corners.

Even the most powerful Grandmasters he knew couldn’t do it!

"This isn’t Inner Strength; it’s Spiritual Power, and I’m not even a Grandmaster," Ning Fan said indifferently, looking at Chang Guishou’s body. He considered this explanation enough.

Behind him, Baldy Qiang was dumbfounded and muttered, "Mr. Ning... You’ve... become even more powerful."

Ning Fan turned back and glanced at the bloody Baldy Qiang, frowning, "You’re too weak. Treat your injuries quickly. I’ll teach you something later so you can put up a bit of a fight."

"What?"

Baldy Qiang was first startled, then overjoyed. He immediately knelt on the ground without caring for his wounds and kept thanking him, "Thank you, Mr. Ning! Thank you for taking me as a disciple!"

"I’m not taking you as a disciple. You’re not talented enough to be my pupil, but your loyalty is commendable, and I won’t treat you unfairly. Take these few sheets of paper and practice well. They should be effective," Ning Fan said, shaking his head lightly, then took out several sheets of paper and handed them to Baldy Qiang.

He was about to leave River City, and safety here had to be entrusted to Baldy Qiang, so Ning Fan had found some very basic low-grade body refining methods in the legacy left by his mother the night before. He simplified them a bit and gave them to Baldy Qiang.

Ning Fan hadn’t let Lin Xiaoling practice this low-grade body refining method because it only trained the body, not Qi Refinement. Although one’s strength could improve significantly in a short time, it would block the way to Qi Refinement, making it difficult to enter the true threshold of cultivation in the future.

Ning Fan planned to lead Lin Xiaoling into the world of cultivation in the future, so naturally, he wouldn’t let her practice it.

But that’s not to say that this low-grade body refining method wasn’t good. As long as Baldy Qiang puts in the hard work, not only would it be easy to start, but he could also achieve physical strength comparable to a Grandmaster in a short time.

For ordinary Martial Artists, it’s almost like a fast-track secret manual.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Ning," said Baldy Qiang, his hands trembling with excitement as he received the paper and tucked it into his breast pocket as if it were a priceless treasure.

He knew that from then on, he would have a qualitative leap!

And all this was the return for his loyalty to Ning Fan!

"Mr. Ning, thank you for saving my life. If it weren’t for the amulet you gave me today, I’m afraid my old life would have been lost to that villain," Shen Weimin also stepped forward and said with immense relief.

"You’re exaggerating, Mayor Shen. That villain came because of me, so it’s like I’ve implicated you. Here, take three more amulets," Ning Fan said, giving three amulets to Shen Weimin.

"Thank you, Mr. Ning! Thank you!" Shen Weimin hurriedly accepted them and put them into his pocket, filled with gratitude and emotion. Three amulets – that’s three lives! Was this turning misfortune into a blessing?

Afterward, Ning Fan revived the unconscious Xu Yan and treated Baldy Qiang and others. By the time he finished, it was already evening.

Upon returning to the villa with Lin Xiaoling, they explained Pan Ting’s scam to Ding Hongxia, who was filled with regret. After much consolation from Ning Fan, she finally stopped blaming herself.

Ring, ring, ring...

Just as he was about to begin meditating, Su Qingcheng called.

"Ning Fan, the day after tomorrow is the day for the Qingyun Ranking evaluation. You need to go to the provincial city a day in advance. I’m also planning to go to the provincial city tomorrow. Let’s go together. I’ll pick you up in the morning."
