Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Mu Wanqing’s Suitor_1

Beneath the stage, Kong Tiansheng’s face was somber as he instructed his men to carry away the seriously injured Xie Mengshi.

Ning Fan descended from the arena, pausing as he passed by Kong Tiansheng.

"Kong Tiansheng, don’t get eliminated too early, when it’s your turn, I will take good care of you," Ning Fan said indifferently.

But Kong Tiansheng felt a chill in his heart, a cold dread spreading through his body. Thinking he might end up like Xie Mengshi made him shiver uncontrollably.

He clenched his teeth, trying to appear strong, "Don’t get too cocky, you little brat surnamed Ning. My Kong Family still has more powerful Patrons waiting for you. In a bit, they’ll cripple you!"

"I’m waiting."

Ning Fan’s face was expressionless as he brushed past Kong Tiansheng.

To the side, Hong Jinrui, having witnessed the entire exchange, motioned for the Patron participating in the martial arts review from his own side.

"Do you have confidence to defeat that kid?" Hong Jinrui asked.

The Patron sized up Ning Fan and nodded, "Young Master, that kid doesn’t look like much. He’s probably just naturally strong. Xie Mengshi was caught off guard, that’s why he was defeated."

"That’s good."

Hong Jinrui let out a breath of relief and sneered, "When you face that kid, remember to cripple him for me!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

...

In the crowd, Fei Liang watched Ning Fan depart from afar, his eyes seething with malice.

Among them, his strength was the greatest, but at this moment, a venomous thought crept into his mind.

"There’s something strange about this kid, just in case... I should tamper with him before he steps onto the stage!"

...

The martial arts review was a one-on-one elimination match. After Ning Fan’s group finished, the next group began their battle.

The announcer declared the names, and two young people immediately leapt onto the stage to start their match.

Exchanging punches and kicks, the fight was spectacular.

Ning Fan, however, sat to the side with his eyes closed in meditation, these insignificant scuffles unworthy of his attention.

The subsequent matches were mostly back and forth battles, none as swift and decisive as Ning Fan’s.

"Next match participants, Ning Fan and Lu Wu, please come to the stage to prepare."

Upon hearing the announcer call his name again, Ning Fan opened his eyes, stood up, and walked up to the stage.

Not far across from him, a young man dressed in a tight fighting outfit was already waiting.

"You’re Ning Fan, Captain Mu’s fiancé?"

The man looked haughty, bearing an air of superiority.

Ning Fan frowned slightly, "And you are?"

"Listen well, I am the deputy captain of the Xuanwu Combat Team, Lu Wu!" The man sneered proudly, his voice booming.

The crowd was surprised to hear of the Xuanwu Combat Team.

"Even the Xuanwu Combat Team has come?"

"That’s one of Xia Country’s eight great combat teams. They say every member is incredibly powerful!"

"This Lu Wu is also the deputy captain; he must be even more formidable!"

Ning Fan raised an eyebrow, "So you’re military, interested in the Qingyun List as well?"

Lu Wu basked in the attention but his expression grew even more haughty. "The Qingyun List is nothing to me, I don’t even care about it!"

"Today I joined the martial arts review with only one goal! And that is to defeat you, to prevent you from having any absurd fantasies about Mu Wanqing!"

"Ah..."

Stunned, Ning Fan hadn’t expected this Lu Wu to come specifically for Mu Wanqing.

But, he really had nothing to do with Mu Wanqing!

From a private room on the third floor, Mu Wanqing’s usually calm demeanor now showed a hint of helplessness.

She couldn’t help but sigh and hold her forehead, "This madman Lu Wu... I shouldn’t have let him know about this."

It turned out, this Lu Wu was an obsessive admirer of Mu Wanqing.

To avoid the arranged marriage, she had left home, and this guy had been snooping around, somehow learning about her betrothal to Ning Fan.

He even found out about their agreement that if Ning Fan claimed the top spot on the Qingyun List, the marriage condition would be fulfilled.

Lu Wu was furious and immediately joined the Qingyun List review, determined to beat Ning Fan himself and prevent the marriage contract from being realized.

After hearing Lu Wu’s declaration, Ning Fan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Boy, once I defeat you and become the top of the Qingyun List, I will propose to Mu Wanqing!" Lu Wu declared with pride, "Then, I will invite you to the wedding feast."

"Fine, hope to see that day," Ning Fan said with his hands hanging down, "Since you’re so confident, I’ll give you three moves for being the deputy captain of the Xuanwu Combat Team. Go ahead."

"You insolent fool! How dare you belittle me!"

Lu Wu’s face grew angry, and he charged forward with a roar.

Moving with the speed of lightning, he closed in on Ning Fan in the blink of an eye, swinging his right fist with a whistling force.

Ning Fan tilted his head slightly and stepped to the side, narrowly avoiding the blow, "First move."

Lu Wu’s expression sunk, and he pressed forward instead of retreating, lifting his right leg high and slashing down with astonishing speed!

Crack!

This kick missed as well, smashing heavily onto the stage.

The marble surface of the arena instantly cracked like a spider web, spreading in all directions.

"Second move," Ning Fan said with a light smile.

Lu Wu’s gaze hardened, abandoning his previous arrogance: "It seems you’re not all talk. Let’s see if you can handle my next move!"

He took a deep breath, and his body became like a heavy boulder, slamming down with force!

Beneath his feet on the marble floor, with a loud boom, countless shards flew up!
