44: Chapter 44 I am the referee
Upon the arena stage.
The expressions of the remaining foreign race geniuses became incredibly solemn.
The Green Ox Clan genius, Niu Fang, who had just been kicked away by Ning Yuan, was no nameless nobody!
His strength was enough to rank within the top eighty of the top hundred!
Yet such a prodigy had failed to even last a single move before the opponent, being effortlessly insta-killed!
This arrogant HumanKid before them truly had some skill.
But immediately after, seeing Ning Yuan's still incomparably arrogant and dismissive manner, endless fury rose in the hearts of all the foreign race prodigies!
“Arrogant fellow!”
“It was just Niu Fang being careless for a moment, allowing him to succeed in a sneak attack!”
“Exactly! Does he really think he can challenge all of us by himself?”
“I'll come meet you!”
Watching Ning Yuan approach them with leisurely, steady steps, his posture seemed as if he weren't participating in a brutal top-hundred free-for-all, but rather taking a stroll in his own back garden.
The leading figure of the Green Ox Clan, Niu Man, finally couldn't hold back anymore!
He let out a deafening low roar, and the heaven-reaching azure ox illusion behind him roared forth!
Unlike Niu Fang's, beneath the four hooves of his azure ox illusion, raging black flames actually burned, emitting a terrifying aura sufficient to incinerate mountains and boil seas!
Niu Man!
Before the competition, he was publicly recognized as a powerful contender for the top ten, or even the top five, of this Qi and Blood Academy tournament!
As he struck out in anger now, that pure colossal strength even caused the surrounding void to distort!
Below the stage, everyone watching the battle held their breath.
They knew that the real show was about to begin!
Many people were prepared to watch Ning Yuan make a fool of himself.
On the human side, Ye Lingjun's expression also became solemn.
“Why hasn't this brother started taking this seriously yet?”
In his view, even he would have to give 120% of his effort to deal with Niu Man striking out in anger!
However, his voice had just barely faded.
In the next second, he widened his eyes in disbelief!
On the arena, facing Niu Man who was charging like a prehistoric behemoth, Ning Yuan struck again!
Still just as casual, still just as nonchalant, he sent out a single punch!
But at the moment he swung his fist, an ancient divine elephant illusion that stood between heaven and earth seemed to cross the barriers of time and space, stepping out from behind him and trumpeting toward the sky!
That sky-toppling power of Qi and blood even gave everyone present an illusion, as if a brilliant sun had risen upon the arena!
BOOM!!!
With a massive explosion, Niu Man's large and powerful body was forcibly blasted away by a ruthless, irresistible colossal force!
His right arm, which was capable of shattering mountains and cracking stones, was already broken into pieces, showing a bizarre distortion!
Even the majestic azure ox illusion behind him was shattered on the spot under this single punch!
He stumbled, flying backward all the way to the edge of the arena before barely stabilizing himself, his ox-like face filled with disbelief!
That... what kind of power was that?
It wasn't even in the same dimension!
The entire Sacred Martial Mountain, at this moment, fell into a deathly silence once again.
“This guy...” Liu Yuhuan's beautiful eyes also bulged, as she murmured to herself.
In Jiang Mingyue's heart, even greater waves of shock were stirred!
“Such restrained and condensed Qi and blood power! I actually can't tell at all how many tenths of his strength he used! Was it seventy percent? Or fifty percent?”
Others might think that Ning Yuan's punch just now was definitely his full power bursting forth.
But only she, this former Martial Saint, knew best!
It definitely wasn't!
This guy was absolutely still hiding his strength!
“Freak! He's an out-and-out freak!”
She could only complain secretly in her heart.
Meanwhile, Ning Yuan on the stage shook his head with some dissatisfaction.
Sigh, I'm still feeling a bit restricted.
If I could use my full power, that punch just now would have been enough to blast this minotaur and his soul into fine powder together.
But now, in order not to expose his terrifying foundation that had already broken through a hundred million jin, he had to work hard to control his strength within the 'normal' range of ten million jin.
What a hassle.
He looked up, glanced at those foreign race prodigies who had been completely intimidated, and gave a chuckle.
“Here I come!”
Boom!
He slammed his foot against the ground and actively charged into the camp composed of nearly fifty foreign race prodigies!
Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep!
His figure was as fast as lightning, as agile as a swimming dragon!
With a 'thud,' he threw out a casual punch, and a Feather Clan genius youth's eyes rolled back as he was knocked off the stage, eliminated!
Ning Yuan's voice followed.
“You, ninety-ninth place!”
With another crisp and neat whip kick, he swept a member of the Three-Eyed God Clan, who hadn't even reacted yet, off the stage.
“You, ninety-eighth place!”
Ning Yuan's figure moved through the crowd as if taking a stroll.
It was as if he weren't engaged in a brutal top-hundred free-for-all, but rather performing an elegant solo show.
With every punch and every kick, a foreign race prodigy would inevitably be cleanly eliminated!
And he, arrogant to the extreme, began to personally act as the referee, announcing the rankings on the spot for these 'losers' he eliminated!
Everyone present gaped, completely dumbfounded!
They finally understood!
This guy hadn't taken this free-for-all seriously from the very beginning!
He intended to use his own strength to let the humans sweep the top fifty seats of the top hundred!
“Boss is awesome—!”
Lu Sheng and Zhou Qi both shouted excitedly with all their might!
And those human students below the stage who were originally somewhat nervous were now infected by this atmosphere, erupting into a mountain-shaking tide of cheers and shouts!
“Holy crap! Awesome! So freaking awesome!”
“This is the kind of prodigy our human race should have!”
“I somehow feel like I can vaguely see the flavor of our human ancestors hacking through thorns and expanding our territory in him! Our human race never lacks pillars that hold up the heavens!”
Row after row of worshipful and fanatical gazes focused simultaneously on that white-clad figure dominating the field!
In the Transcendent Academy's camp, Ling Wanhe's heart was also surging with emotion.
“There's no mistake! That power in him definitely contains the source energy of the stars! And its grade is so high that it even... surpasses mine!”
In her mind, she vaguely recalled a rumor she had accidentally heard from her clan elders eighteen years ago.
In her beautiful star-like eyes, curiosity grew increasingly thick.
On the chairman's podium, the five deans were also watching in stunned silence.
How did a perfectly good top-hundred free-for-all turn into this kid's personal show?
For a moment, they were all somewhat between laughter and tears.
In Jiang Baihe's heart, however, there was continuous amazement.
“As expected of Mentor's grandson! This kind of elegance is truly unparalleled in the world!”
Ren Wanlong, on the other hand, gave a cold snort.
“Hmph! Acting too high-profile, not knowing how to hide one's brilliance. This kind of temperament will need to be properly tempered in the future.”
Hearing this, Jiang Baihe only glanced at him and did not refute.
He silently noted it down in his little notebook.
You old bastard, I'll make you pay for this later!
Jiang Qinglan reminded with a smile: “Dean Ren, don't forget, our bet is on whose final ranking is higher between Jiang Yueming and Jin Jiao.”
Internally, she was astonished.
This youth who suddenly appeared, why does he feel even more powerful than Jiang Yueming?
Ren Wanlong said with full confidence: “Rest assured, I, Ren Wanlong, am not the kind of person who would go back on a bet.”
Indeed, Ning Yuan's performance surprised him; he was very extraordinary, and even in a one-on-one, Jin Jiao might not necessarily take him down.
But facing so many people alone was a bit too arrogant.
While everyone was discussing.
On the arena, Ning Yuan had already insta-killed over a dozen foreign race geniuses like a hot knife through butter.
The faces of Jin Jiao, Yu Ling, and Niu Man also gradually became extremely solemn.
Niu Man, who had barely recovered some combat strength, shouted in a deep voice: “We can't let him continue like this! We must go together! Join forces to suppress him! Otherwise, all our faces will be completely lost today!”
Hearing this, Jin Jiao and Yu Ling also slowly nodded.
They knew very well that if this HumanKid really slaughtered through the entire field alone today,
Then they wouldn't be able to show their faces anymore in the future!
In an instant!
On the arena, the remaining thirty-plus foreign race geniuses finally reached a consensus and stood on the same front!
Led by Jin Jiao, Yu Ling, and Niu Man, they completely surrounded Ning Yuan from all directions!
Each of their gazes was fierce, wishing they could swallow Ning Yuan alive!
