Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Ning Fan, I Wish You Happiness_1

Though Lu Wu was not a Grandmaster, with his military background, all his moves were lethal techniques.

The participants of the martial evaluation were all trained fighters, and even the weakest among them had some ability. Everyone could see the intense murderous intent from those two moves just now.

Many people were worried, thinking that if it were them on stage, they probably couldn’t have dodged those two attacks.

"Lu Wu’s strength is impressive," someone remarked. "His moves are lethal. If it came down to fighting for one’s life, even a Grandmaster might not be his match."

"He’s unleashed a killing move; it’s probably going to end soon."

"That kid probably can’t block it."

Seeing Lu Wu provoked by Ning Fan, about to give it his all, everyone thought Ning Fan was sure to lose.

All of a sudden, Lu Wu let out a deep shout, his aura surging around him.

Boom!

The next moment, he pounced like a fierce tiger, his arms spread wide like iron claws, aiming directly for Ning Fan’s temples!

This was a lethal close-combat technique from the military!

If it hit, one could be instantly knocked out or even die on the spot!

Boom!

A muffled sound echoed, but Lu Wu’s move hit nothing but air.

"Where is he?"

Lu Wu immediately ceased his momentum, looking around, only to hear Ning Fan’s voice coming from behind him.

"Three moves have passed; now it’s my turn."

Lu Wu’s brow twitched, and as he turned around, he crossed his arms in front of himself, channeling his Inner Strength throughout his body, his muscles tensing, ready to take the hit head-on!

"Come on! Let’s see what you’ve got!" he growled deeply, retreating in defiance, rushing toward Ning Fan.

Ning Fan clenched his right fist, filled with Spiritual Power, and without any fancy technique, he hurled his fist straight out.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, fist and arms collided.

Boom!

Suddenly, Lu Wu was sent flying as if struck by a speeding train, spitting blood mid-air before dramatically crashing down at the edge of the stage, dust billowing up from beneath him.

Gasps!

People had marveled at Lu Wu’s military lethal technique, yet they saw him flung away by Ning Fan’s punch, their eyes nearly popping out in disbelief.

"Even the vice-captain of the Xuanwu Combat Team got flipped with one punch? What kind of level is this kid?"

"Definitely a Grandmaster! Otherwise, with Lu Wu’s strength, he wouldn’t have fallen so easily!"

"I suspect he’s not just a Grandmaster, he might even be a Second Rank Grandmaster!"

The crowd was abuzz, speculating on Ning Fan’s true capacity.

Lu Wu struggled to rise from the ground, his expression dark, his eyes filled with despair.

"I’ve lost... From now on, I give up pursuing Mu Wanqing... You’re strong enough to deserve her. I wish you happiness."

Lu Wu clambered up, and saluted Ning Fan with a clenched fist. Then, his expression darkened, and he coldly said, "But if you dare treat Wanqing badly, even if I have to risk my life, I will make sure to kill you one day!"

Afterward, ignoring the strange looks of the people around him, he turned and walked away with large strides.

Earlier, when the two were conversing on the stage, their voices were low, so only Ning Fan heard them.

But now, with Lu Wu loudly declaring his words before the crowd, the place erupted in turmoil.

"So Lu Wu came to the martial evaluation for a woman! What a hopelessly romantic guy! But who is Mu Wanqing? The name sounds vaguely familiar..."

"But... wasn’t it said yesterday during the literary evaluation that Ning Fan is Xu Yourong’s boyfriend?"

"From what Lu Wu said, it seems Ning Fan is also involved with Mu Wanqing? What the hell, why is this kid’s love life so enviable?"

In the crowd, Yuan Yonglin stared at Ning Fan from a distance, a look of loss flashing across her face.

...

"That bastard Lu Wu, what nonsense is he spouting in public!"

In a third-floor private room, Mu Wanqing, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed after hearing Lu Wu’s words, blushed with a hint of shyness crossing her heart.

But she quickly reverted to her colder demeanor, shaking her head and murmuring to herself, "Defeating Lu Wu doesn’t mean much."

...

In another private room, Su Qingcheng spoke with a twinge of jealousy, "Yourong, look at that! He’s clearly with you, yet that Ning Fan is still messing around with that what’s-her-name Mu Wanqing! He doesn’t take you seriously at all!"

Xu Yourong, however, expressed regret, "Ning Fan is such an outstanding man; wherever he goes, women will like him... Besides, who’s to blame when he and Mu Wanqing are engaged? Oh, if only I was engaged to Ning Fan, my father definitely wouldn’t have made so many demands of him!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingcheng’s face stiffened slightly, guiltily turning away.

Up to now, the marriage document between Xu Yourong and Ning Fan was still hidden in her possession.

She had thought about revealing the marriage document and telling the two the truth, but after hesitating time and time again, she ultimately gave up every time...

...

At the edge of the stage, everyone was astonished at Ning Fan’s power.

Two swift and decisive victories made Kong Tiansheng and Hong Jinrui both shocked and angry.

"What’s this kid’s background?"

Kong Tiansheng clenched his teeth in rage, his face twisted with malice, "Even the vice-captain of the Xuanwu Combat Team couldn’t handle him!"

"Damn it, I don’t believe my Hong Family’s Patron can’t deal with this kid!" hissed Hong Jinrui, his face clouded.

Both harbored caution against Ning Fan, preparing to instruct their own patrons on how to confront him.

Just then, Fei Liang, who had been stone-faced and seemingly lost in thought, suddenly spoke up loudly, "Host, I have something to say."

The host looked towards him, "Master Fei, please speak."

A sly smile curled on Fei Liang’s lips, "I propose, we change the rules of the martial evaluation!"
