128 – 9th Layer Martial Apprentice
Whoosh!
Shortly after, the students sprawled on the ground had their arms and legs tied by Han Shan and the others, unable to move.
Next, the students were hung by their hands in front of the villa like a string of gourds.
100 odd students hanging in the air like this painted a spectacular picture!
This scene was broadcasted and seen by countless viewers.
“My god, this guy is really unbridled. This is clearly a show of strength.”
“100 odd students came to cause trouble, but they were no match for the lad. Instead, they were beaten black and blue and hung in the air.”
“The lad is flexing his muscles. But these students have it rough. With so many people watching, they have lost all face.”
“Serves them right. They thought they could look for trouble without having to face any consequences? The world isn’t that nice of a place.”
“What nonsense! Who was the one who caused trouble first?!”
The viewers were shocked and stunned by what they saw. They had never seen such a thing. For 100 odd elite students to be hung in the air, this is unheard of.
But in this way, the topic immediately spread to the whole Skywater City, and the ratings rose steadily. The staff of TV stations grinned from ear to ear.
The ratings of this time’s high school martial arts competition should have broken all previous records.
“This bully extended his clutches to other schools. Truly despicable.”
“Is there no one who can punish him? He’s allowed to run amok even here.”
“How terrible. It’s one thing that this bastard can’t be beaten, but he even hung others in the air to serve as a show of strength.”
“This bastard continues to show off. If this goes on, won’t this bastard trample on all high school students of Skywater City and reign supreme?! At that time, he will hog all the girls. There will be nothing left for us.”
Yang Wei and others who have suffered at Xia Ping’s hands were anguished and aggrieved when they saw this. They sympathized with the students hung in the air.
Once upon a time, they were humiliated by the shameless Xia Ping. But there is nothing they can do to him.
Thinking about it, the top high school students hung in the air are more miserable than them. They were made fools of in front of so many people. One can only imagine how many people will mock them in the future.
They gnashed their teeth, hoping that someone will punish this shameless bully and wipe away his smugness.
…………
The night passed quickly. In the end, no such person appeared.
As for Xia Ping, he practiced cultivation in his bedroom. He only finished when the night was over.
As the first rays of sunshine shone through the window, Xia Ping suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a cold gleam in his eyes. He sensed the true qi in his body that has been increasing since last night surge madly.
Boom~
In an instant, his ninth meridian was opened! As if a tide, true qi finally penetrated the ninth meridian, allowing him to promote to a 9th layer Martial Apprentice!
Xia Ping immediately felt true qi surge in his body. The amount of true qi in his body increased by at least one-ford. Even his strength, speed, and reflexes improved by leaps and bounds.
His spirit force has also expanded greatly, becoming twice as large as before.
“So this is the 9th layer Martial Apprentice realm?!”
Xia Ping clenched his fist. He feels that his entire body is full of strength, as if the meridians of his entire body have been connected at this moment.
Between 8th layer Martial Apprentice realm and 9th layer Martial Apprentice realm, there is a huge divide. It can be said that 9th layer Martial Apprentice powerhouses are at least several times stronger than 8th layer Martial Apprentice powerhouses.
Once the nine meridians are connected and perfectly integrated to form a wonderful cycle, the true qi in your body will grow and multiply, and you will become several times stronger than 8th layer Martial Apprentice powerhouses.
Only by filling the meridians of the whole body with such majestic true qi, will you be qualified to connect the Bahui accupoint, promote to the Martial Practitioner realm, and reach the external release of true qi realm.
“After practicing cultivation all night, I surprisingly broke through the bottleneck of the 8th layer Martial Apprentice realm. This really is an unexpected delight.” Xia Ping smiled faintly. He originally thought it would take him at least a few more weeks to reach the 9th layer Martial Apprentice realm.
However, after receiving assistance from the other contestants, the rate at which he absorbed the energy stored in his body accelerated, and he finally got the opportunity to make a breakthrough and promote to the 9th layer Martial Apprentice realm.
Whoosh!
He got up at once and performed his fighting techniques. In an instant, afterimages appeared in the room as he unleashed the essence of various fighting techniques.
As if dragons and tigers roaring, strong winds erupted. After finishing a set of fighting techniques, the whole room was in shambles, as if it had been ravaged by a typhoon.
“What’s going on? Is it a surprise attack?”
The noise startled Han Shan and the others, who were in the room next door. They rushed over. When the looked inside Xia Ping’s room, they saw a terrible mess, thinking that it stemmed from a surprise attacked.
However, after witnessing Xia Ping’s fierce display last night, who would have the guts to come and launch a surprise attack?!
“It’s not a surprise attack. It’s just, when morning came, I was in the mood to practice martial arts.” Xia Ping was calm and composed. He felt his body rejoice, as if every cell was cheering and full of power.
Advancing to the 9th layer Martial Apprentice realm is really extraordinary. He feels that he has become twice as strong as before. Even if he is faced with a 1st layer Martial Practitioner realm powerhouse, he might not necessarily be falter.
Of course, this is pure speculation. He can’t be certain without having a real fight first.
“As expected of big brother. It’s still at the crack of dawn, yet you’re already practicing martial arts. You’re really diligent and hard-working. No wonder you’re so strong.” Feng Hetang is very skilled at flattering, forming a conditioned reflex.
Xia Ping waved his hand and said, “By the way, how are the people hanging outside the villa?”
“They have been hanging all night. No one saved them.”
Feng Hetang uttered, “However, 5 or 6 students couldn’t bear it and chose to forfeit. They were rescued by the organizers and have been eliminated now.”
There is a look of disdain on his face. If you can’t bear this much of torment, then it’s practically impossible for you to climb to a higher martial arts realm in the future.
It can be said that those who forfeited here basically have no future. Martial arts organizations watching the martial arts competition will give up on people without any perseverance like them at the fist moment.
“Very well. After hanging in the air all night, I believe the poor devils must have become more submissive. Let’s go out and see them.” Xia Ping waved his hand and walked out of the room.
Han Shan and company followed after him.
Shortly after, they arrived at the villa’s entrance and saw the students hanging outside the building. The students are deathly pale and very weak.
