  Thanks for the reward from "Purple Crystal Hourglass"!

  The storm stirred up by Ning Chong has even swept through the Ning family, rolling over Xuan Yuan City. After dinner, people in the streets and alleys began to discuss Ning Chong, marveling at how he went from being a waste to rising strongly in just half a year. They were all eager to see his upcoming battle with Ning Mo Feng.

  From this point on, Ning Chong became famous overnight in Xuan Yuan City. He had originally only wanted to prove himself, but the effect was beyond his expectations.

  After much anticipation, the semifinal battles of the second day finally began. Following a draw to determine the order, Ning Que and Ning Xiaoyu were the first to take the stage.

  "Shanghe City Branch Ning Family's Moon is Missing, Xuan Yuan City Master's Ning Family's Universe Stage!"

  On the large martial arts arena, after the referee loudly announced on the arena, he jumped off the martial arts arena.

  Suddenly, a slender figure flashed by, like a flying swallow, swift and agile, and in the blink of an eye, she was already standing on the martial arts platform - it was Ning Que Yue.

  "Good!"

  "What beautiful footwork!"

  "Wow, swift and elegant, with a lingering aftertaste! It's indeed the legendary 'Flying Swallow Shears'! Today was an eye-opener!"

  ……

  Ning Que made his debut on the first day of the month, and his elegant and beautiful movements immediately won thunderous applause, even the elders on the host stage cheered loudly.

  At this time, however, someone let out a cold snort, and a figure flew up onto the martial arts platform after Ning Que - it was Ning Zhenyue!

  Compared to Ning Que's Moon, Ning Fan Yu's physical skills are naturally inferior, but he is arrogant and cold-faced, relying on his thick internal yuan force advantage. He floats in the air with ease, hands behind his back, as if strolling through the void. Just this posture, this aura, completely suppresses Ning Que.

  Nature, the crowd burst out even more applause than Ning Que's appearance on stage.

  On the rostrum, several elderly men who had not yet accepted disciples of their own looked at Ning Fan with piercing eyes, but they could only look. They all knew that such a genius was not someone they could be master to.

  Years ago, Ning Fan Yu had already revealed that he wanted his master to be the eldest elder of the family.

  The top elder in a family is absolutely the strongest, an existence like the ultimate trump card, who will not easily show up and will not easily accept apprentices. Ning Fan's idea can be said to be bold, but with his martial arts talent, it makes people dare not say he is daydreaming.

  Ning Jia's Supreme Elder has been in seclusion for years, impacting a higher level of martial arts. Ning Fan Yu has also refused the intention of other elders to take on apprentices, waiting instead. However, it is said that within one or two years, the Supreme Elder may break through and emerge, and if so, relying on Ning Fan Yu's astonishing martial arts talent, he might indeed be taken as a disciple by the Supreme Elder.

  "Please give me more guidance, senior!"

  On the martial arts stage, Ning Yueying gave a refreshing bow in front of Ning Fan, the number one genius of this family's outer sect. She was not intimidated at all, her tone and movements were calm and powerful.

  Ning Fangyu raised his head proudly, his eyes glanced at Ning Que, and he said coldly: "Go ahead and try, if you can even touch a thread of my clothes, I'll admit defeat."

  Arrogant, ignoring, and proud! These words are used to describe Ning Fan Yu, and they couldn't be more fitting. However, Ning Fan Yu indeed has the capital to be this way. The crowd that heard Ning Fan Yu's words didn't show much surprise, and Ning Que only raised an eyebrow slightly.

  "In that case, I'll just have to offend you!"

  After a sentence, Ning Que's figure fluttered and instantly pulled out several residual shadows.

  Too fast!

  The crowd gasped in shock, and just as the sound of their gasps had barely escaped their lips, they saw Ning Que Yue rapidly encircle Ning Fan Wu, her figure creating a series of shadowy illusions at an astonishing speed that completely enveloped him.

  Even when watching from the sidelines, many people rubbed their eyes and still couldn't tell which one was a shadow and which one was real among these shadows of Ning Que. At the same time as they were shocked in their hearts, some people believed that if it was themselves fighting on stage, they would have already encountered huge trouble, and might have been knocked unconscious by Ning Que with just a few moves!

  Hoo-hoo!

  Ning Que's body spun faster and faster, until finally all the shadows merged into a single line, as if a "halo" had opened up around Ning Fan. However, Ning Fan, who was at the center of the halo, still had his back turned, looking careless and arrogant, as if Ning Que's incredibly fast speed and the many indistinguishable shadows were just child's play.

  Splash!

  Finally, Ning Que couldn't help but make a move. She aimed at the empty space and hid among the many shadows, her right leg suddenly extending out and slashing towards Ning Fan's back.

  This sudden attack, whether it was the timing or the emptiness, was grasped to perfection! The crowd below saw it and couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations, all unclear whether Ning Fan Yu, the first disciple of the outer sect, could withstand this attack.

  Then their cries of surprise had barely escaped when the answer was revealed!

  In an instant, Ning Fan Yu, who had been leisurely standing with his hands behind his back, moved! He twisted his foot and turned to face Ning Que Yue, who was sneaking up on him. Then, with lightning speed, he accurately and skillfully grabbed Ning Que Yue's right ankle with his right palm.

  Ning Fan's light and casual strokes dissolved Ning Que's fully prepared attack, and for a moment, the field fell silent.

  In the arena, Ning Que was still flushed with anger and embarrassment. She had been caught off guard and ridiculed by Ning Fan's teasing. With a loud cry, she unleashed her full strength, her left leg transforming into several afterimages as she executed her ultimate move, unleashing a flurry of kicks that targeted Ning Fan's entire body.

  Ning Que's Moon Leg technique was swift and deadly, its killing power and range extremely great. Ning Fan Yu could only release Ning Que's right leg and quickly retreat three steps to avoid the attack of Ning Que's left leg.

  Ning Que's right leg had gained freedom, but she remained clear-headed and didn't take the opportunity to counterattack. Instead, her figure flickered as she turned around in a circle again, hiding her true body in the shadows.

  "Hum! A minor skill, losing face in public!"

  Ning Fan let out a cold hum, this time not turning his back to look at Ning Que's shadow, but instead shouted loudly and suddenly split his palms apart.

  With a loud "peng" sound, the air burst open, and Ning Fan Yu's palms stirred up a strong gust of wind that rolled towards Ning Que's shadow.

  The people on the stage were shocked again. Ning Chong, who was in the crowd, frowned even more. Ning Fan Yu was indeed the number one genius of the outer sect, not only was his strength extremely powerful, but his ability to adapt to situations was also not weak! Indeed, Ning Fan Yu might not be able to distinguish which of these shadows was the true body of Ning Que, but in the face of absolute overwhelming power, why bother to distinguish?

  Bang!

  This overwhelming attack, even if Ning Yue had more shadows, it would be useless. The shockwave generated by Ning Fan's movement was too powerful, and her shadow that had just condensed was instantly blown away like dust in the wind, disappearing without a trace. Meanwhile, she herself was also injured by the palm wind, letting out a stifled groan, stumbling a few steps, and almost falling to the ground.

  "It's over."

  Ning Fan sneered and gazed coldly at Ning Que, his massive right palm swooping down towards Ning Que's head.
