"Pseudo half-step Immortal King?"
The Western Reverend was utterly disappointed when he first saw Ning Yue.
This was because Ning Yue's cultivation base was only that of a pseudo half-step Immortal King and he looked rather ordinary without any special characteristics.
However, when the Western Reverend took a second look at Ning Yue, he felt that Ning Yue was not as simple as he seemed.
This feeling.
He had only felt it from the eldest disciple of the Broken Cliff City Lord.
"Could he be extremely powerful?"
With a thought, the Western Reverend winked at Wang Yu before pointing at Ning Yue.
Wang Yu understood.
He patted the shoulder of a young martial artist beside him and said in a low voice, "Go test that man. Remember, don't hurt him."
"Understood."
The martial artist who was patted by Wang Yu was called Sun He. His cultivation base was at level one half-step Immortal King.
Sun He was the strongest martial artist in Wang Yu's camp who met the requirements. He should be one of the five places.
Swoosh!
After receiving Wang Yu's order, Sun He immediately dashed towards Ning Yue at a terrifying speed.
"Back off!"
Seeing Sun He attack, Tie Muqiang also knew that it was a test.
Therefore, he flicked his wrist and shot out three forces, forcing Lin Lang and Du Shida back several feet.
"Level one half-step Immortal King."
Looking at the martial artists approaching him, Ning Yue's expression was emotionless.
A mere level one half-step Immortal King was not enough for him to take seriously.
"Arrogant!"
Ning Yue's reaction enraged Sun He. He yelled, "Remember, the one who defeated you is Sun He!"
Boom!
Sun He clenched his right fist and punched towards Ning Yue with all his might.
Sun He used his full strength, causing the Western Reverend's expression to turn ugly. He glared at Wang Yu.
If Sun He injured Ning Yue, how was he going to explain to Tie Muqiang?
After all, it was not a spar. If he really injured Ning Yue, he would probably be ridiculed by Tie Muqiang.
Wang Yu revealed a bitter expression.
He also felt helpless.
Bang!
While Wang Yu and the Western Venerable were still worrying about Ning Yue, the battle on the other side had already ended.
Ning Yue clenched his right fist and punched at Sun He's fist.
Along with a clear and melodious sound rang out.
Ning Yue did not move from where he stood, but Sun He was pushed back several meters. He only stopped when his body crashed into the ground.
Puchi!
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Sun He's aura was rapidly declining.
Kacha!
It was a critical moment.
Sun He hurriedly took out a white pill and threw it into his mouth.
The pill flowed down his throat and into his stomach, barely maintaining Sun He's breathing.
Hu!
After stabilizing his breathing, Sun He heaved a long sigh of relief. What a close shave!
Fortunately, he had used his trump card. Otherwise, Ning Yue's move would have been enough to severely injure him!
Little did they know.
Sun He was overthinking things.
It was not that he had used his trump card, but that Ning Yue had held back.
Otherwise …
Even if Sun He had used his trump card, it would have been very easy for Ning Yue to severely injure him.
Gulp!
Inside the guest hall.
When everyone saw how easily Ning Yue defeated Sun He, they all swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Especially those who were going to fight for the five spots, their expressions were extremely ugly.
Originally, one of the five spots was decided by Sun He. They would fight for the other four spots with all their might.
But now …
Even someone as strong as Sun He was defeated so easily. Didn't that mean that they only had three spots?
What was more exaggerated was that Ning Yue's cultivation was not that high. Lin Lang and Rong Hao were both peak-stage Heaven Monarchs who came with him. They might take one of the spots as well.
From the looks of it, what was there for them to fight for?
"He's not simple."
The Western Venerable's expression changed from one of worry to one of seriousness.
From Ning Yue's attack, he could conclude that Ning Yue was far from his limit.
A stage one Half Step to Immortal King was not his limit. Perhaps Ning Yue's strength had reached a stage five Half Step to Immortal King!
"I have to find a way to confirm it."
The Western Venerable was overjoyed.
Once he confirmed that Ning Yue had a stage five Half Step to Immortal King strength, he would definitely give Ning Yue some benefits and let Ning Yue break through to a stage two Half Step to Immortal King!
After all, a stage five Half Step to Immortal King would definitely not be able to get the first place in the Cliff Meet.
Although he was thinking about it, he did not show it.
No matter how strong Ning Yue was, if Ning Yue wanted to get what he wanted, it must be tied to his interests.
Thinking of this …
The Western Venerable looked at Tie Muqiang and said, "You have indeed brought me a surprise."
"Don't worry. He will definitely represent West City in the Cliff Meet and will do his best to get the first place."
How could Tie Muqiang not know what the Western Venerable was thinking?
He waved his hand and said, "As long as you give him benefits, Ning Yue will help you fulfill your wish."
"…"
On the other side.
Ning Yue's face was full of black lines.
How long have I known you?
You speak as if we are very close.
Even if we are close, I am not the kind of person who will fulfill my wish as long as there are benefits!
I am a person with principles, an upright and outspoken person, a …
"One thousand Two Realm Stones!"
The Western Venerable stretched out a finger and looked around the Guest Hall. He said, "If anyone can get the first place in the Cliff Meet, I will personally reward him with one thousand Two Realm Stones!"
Boom!
The Western Venerable's words caused another uproar in the Guest Hall.
In addition to the one thousand Two Realm Stones that the Cliff City Lord had rewarded, there was a total of two thousand Two Realm Stones.
The reward of two thousand Two World Stones was something that anyone would look forward to very much.
"I'll say it again. I'll cut to the chase. Let's start the selection."
The Western Venerable said in a clear voice, "Lu Zhanfei, Wu Xiong, Wang Yu, Tie Muqiang, each of you will send a martial artist to fight in pairs. The winner will get the first place. The loser will stay and wait for others to challenge him until there are no more challengers.
"The loser will get the rest of the places."
Rules.
Simple and brutal.
They would fight. The winner would get the place. The loser would lose the place.
"To motivate you, I've decided that whoever gets the first place will be rewarded with one hundred Two Realm Stones!"
The Western Venerable took out a Spatial Ring and said, "There are one hundred Two Realm Stones in here. I'll leave it here. Next, you will fight in pairs. Whoever wins first can take it away."
"Ning Yue, you go."
Tie Muqiang patted Ning Yue's shoulder and said, "One hundred Two Realm Stones is not a small fortune. Even I'm tempted."
"Zhao Hu, you go," Lu Zhanfei said.
"Fang Ping, you go," Wu Xiong said.
"Sun He … I think Zhou Ze should go."
Wang Yu had wanted to send Sun He. After all, Sun He's cultivation was a Grade 1 Half Step Immortal King. He was extremely powerful.
But on second thought …
If Sun He was defeated, their morale would be greatly affected if they met Ning Yue again.
