I can only beat noobs.

Chapter 43 Overturning the table
Tenglong Martial Arts School is one of the four largest martial arts schools in Qingfeng City. The school master's surname is Fang, and he is skilled in using hidden weapons. It is precisely this skill in hidden weapons that makes him very popular with women, and he has taken in many female disciples.

Half of the disciples who came today are women.

That Fang Junyu is the grandson of Master Fang, and he is also at the eighth rank of cultivation. He has already received Master Fang's true teachings.

He took out a black cloth strip, blindfolded himself, and then the disciples of Tenglong Martial Arts School released the sparrows they had prepared in advance from their cages, which fluttered around the martial arts school.

“着”.

He listened to the wind to pinpoint the location, took out several darts from his pocket, and with a sudden flick, four or five sparrows flying erratically in the air were hit by the darts and fell to the ground.

"it is good."

Those present cheered. This skill of listening to the wind and locating the enemy while simultaneously hitting five flying sparrows is something that can only be achieved through years of hard training.

At this moment, Fang Junyu took off the cloth strip and said to Chen Ming, "If any one of you can do this, then you win."

Chen Ming and his companions were in a bit of a predicament; this first test had stumped them.

Deng Ziyang asked Zhuang Xiaotian in a low voice, "Third brother, can you do it?"

Zhuang Xiaotian sighed, shook his head, and indicated that he couldn't do it. He could naturally pinpoint locations by sound, but he couldn't do it to Fang Junyu's level. He wouldn't go up there and embarrass himself.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss.

"it is good."

At this moment, Chen Ming stepped forward, took the black cloth strip, covered his face, and said, "Come on."

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Tenglong Martial Arts School also released five sparrows.

Only after the sparrows had flown a little further away did he reach out and touch his chest.

Whizzing……

In the blink of an eye, five sparrows had been stabbed and fallen to the ground.

"it is good!"

"Junior Brother Chen, your throwing knife skills are truly superb."

"..."

Chen Ming's side naturally received praise from everyone.

Only Deng Ziyang and Zhuang Xiaotian looked at each other in bewilderment. This throwing knife skill was clearly taught to Chen Ming by Zhuang Xiaotian last year. How could he have already mastered it to this level?

Zhuang Xiaotian, in particular, suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration. He had trained for so many years, only to be overtaken by someone else in just one year.

This made him question the meaning of life.

……

"How can this be?"

Fang Junyu's smile suddenly froze, and he stared blankly at Chen Ming.

He had practiced this skill for several years to master. In the entire Tenglong Martial Arts School, no one but him could shoot five birds while masked.

Today, this young man, who is nearly ten years younger than him, has done it.

At this moment, Chen Ming took off the cloth strip and asked him, "Young Master Fang, how is it?"

He said stiffly, "Since you did it, you've passed." Then he returned to his original position.

Lei Zhenguang gave Chen Ming a deep look, surprised that this young man had been hiding his true abilities so well. He said, "Since Young Master Chen has passed the first test, then..."

"I think there's no need to compete anymore."

Chen Ming interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

This surprised everyone.

Lei Zhenguang frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that, Young Master Chen?"

Chen Ming said, "I've heard that the Sihai Martial Arts School is good at light footwork, and the Chaoyang Martial Arts School has a strongman with the strength of an ox. If I'm not mistaken, the next two rounds will be about this, right?"

"so what?"

"I'm just here to open a martial arts school. Why do I need to surpass those three schools in each of these three skills?"

Lei Zhenguang's expression turned cold. "This is the rule of our martial arts guild. Since Young Master Chen wants to open a martial arts school in Qinghe City, he must abide by our rules. Otherwise, our martial arts guild will not agree."

At this moment, a bearded man shouted, "Kid, if you don't dare to compete, then obediently admit defeat and get out of Qingfeng City."

These words immediately drew a burst of laughter.

Chen Ming wasn't angry. He said calmly, "Your martial arts guild has its own rules, that's fine, I respect that. However, I personally enjoy sparring with others. Everyone here is a senior master, and I'm truly eager to learn from them. I'll definitely pay them a visit another day."

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed drastically. Everyone understood the implication in his words: they would challenge them one by one from now on.

Master Fang of Tenglong Martial Arts School was known for his fiery temper. He slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Kid, are you threatening us?"

Chen Ming's face turned cold. "So what if I'm threatening you? Since you don't want me at the table, don't blame me for flipping it. What, you're not happy?"

He pointed at the bearded man from before and said, "You, it's you. If you've got the guts, come over here and have a go at me."

"Boy, you are courting death!"

The bearded man was Li Ankun from the Fenglei Martial Arts School, Li Xiangrong's uncle. He had been holding back his anger because his nephew was injured and he had lost face. How could he hold back now? Before Lei Zhenguang could stop him, he leaped out like a giant eagle, swooping down on Chen Ming.

This is the famous martial art of Fenglei Martial Arts School, "Eagle Strike Technique".

Chen Ming reached out and pulled out Deng Ziyang's knife, then swung it upwards with a backhand motion, aiming straight for the man's abdomen.

Li Ankun twisted his body and dodged the knife.

A young man nearby shouted, "Master, catch the sword!" and tossed the longsword over.

After receiving the sword, Li Ankun used his signature "Wind and Thunder Sword Technique," aiming every move at Chen Ming's vital points.

This turn of events was completely unexpected by both sides present.

After all, both the Fenglei Martial Arts School and Chen Ming had previously shown considerable restraint. Who would have thought they would resort to violence so easily?

It can only be said that young people act impulsively.

Soon, the people from Huo's side became increasingly astonished, "When did Junior Brother Chen learn the Five Elements Sword Technique?"

"Third Senior Brother, did you teach him?"

"This move, 'The Setting Sun Weeps Blood,' can actually be used like this?"

"Wow……"

They were all astonished by Chen Ming's exquisite swordsmanship; such skill was no less than that of his deceased senior brother.

The most surprised person was Zhang Mingyu, who was somewhat dazed as he watched Chen Ming fight Li Ankun with the Five Elements Sword Technique and not be at a disadvantage.

Last year, around this time, Chen Ming had just arrived at the Huo residence as a sparring partner. At that time, he had only mastered the second level of the Iron Horse Stance, and his Three Talents Fist was only quite good...

In just one year, he has grown to this extent.

It's absolutely unbelievable.

This gave him a sense of unreality.

dang dang...

Just then, the swords of the two sides clashed, striking each other at breakneck speed, the sounds so dense they almost formed a continuous chain.

when!
With a loud bang, a long sword flew up, tumbled in the air, and crashed to the ground with a thud.

"Leave people under the knife!"

Lei Zhenguang, sitting in the main seat, shouted loudly, ready to step in to save the person.

Then there was a loud cracking sound.

Chen Ming changed his attack from slashing to slapping, landing a solid blow to Li Ankun's face with the blade. He then stepped back a few paces and sheathed his longsword back into Deng Ziyang's hand.

He stood tall and looked at the dozens of people from the twelve martial arts schools present.

For a moment, everyone was intimidated by his imposing presence and no one dared to speak.

"I'm going to kill—you..."

Li Ankun lay on the ground covered in blood, then frantically got up, ready to fight Chen Ming to the death.

He couldn't accept the fact that he had lost to a mere kid in public.

Chen Ming didn't even glance at him, but stared at Lei Zhenguang with a cold smile on his lips.

Lei Zhenguang shouted in a low voice, "Success!"

Lei Yucheng immediately stepped forward and pulled Li Ankun back.

Li Ankun had lost his mind and turned to attack him, but Lei Yucheng knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike and ordered him to be taken away.

The people from the other eleven martial arts schools present felt a pang of sympathy upon seeing Li Ankun's miserable state.

Even if you dislike Li Ankui for his big mouth, you still feel a pang of sympathy when you see his decades-long reputation vanish overnight.
