206: Chapter 206 Martial Arts Wisdom, Eighth-Grade 206: Chapter 206 Martial Arts Wisdom, Eighth-Grade “Haha, fourth grade now, Ajing can enter the final round of the martial trial.” Su Zhenglong had no idea what General Ning was feeling, and he hugged Mei Xiaofang next to him, extremely delighted.
“Hmph, barely scraping by the last round, he won’t possibly pass the third.”
This time, General Ning did not speak; instead, the black-armored soldier who had previously drawn his sword against Sikong Jing spoke, “Moreover, he won’t be able to advance further; his martial wisdom will be completely locked at the seventeenth wooden stele.”
Upon hearing this, Su Zhenglong and the others felt their hearts sink again, their faces filled with worry.
However, the next moment, Sikong Jing suddenly walked past the seventeenth wooden stele without the slightest pause.
All eyes turned to the black-armored soldier.
The latter was dumbstruck, his face gradually flushing red: “Impossible, how did he pass it?”
We’d like to know as well.
Then, everyone’s gaze slowly moved to General Ning, hoping to get an answer.
General Ning’s face also turned ashen, and he murmured quietly, “He did it on purpose, to slap in the face those who laughed at him.”
At this moment, General Ning’s voice was almost squeezed out between clenched teeth.
Not only those who laughed at him, but even his own face had been slapped by Sikong Jing; if he hadn’t known that Sikong Jing was not targeting him personally, General Ning really wanted to fiercely slap Sikong Jing across the face.
Everyone suddenly realized, and Yan Ruyu’s face turned a shade of iron blue; Sikong Jing was indeed targeting him.
In fact, Sikong Jing found the seventeenth wooden stele quite easy to comprehend.
Because the most essential part was on the sixteenth stele; once one understood that core part, the seventeenth only needed a brief look to integrate and penetrate the concept.
Even the following steles became easier as a result.
So he continued to advance without stop, until he halted at the twenty-third stele, and as expected, he ended up in first place again.
It was as if to prove that Sikong Jing indeed did it on purpose to slap certain peoples’ faces.
Yuwen Guan was flabbergasted, for he was still stuck at the twentieth stele, his entire face flushed with red.
Striving to catch up, Ning Wenguan finally reached the twenty-third stele, and now only seven people were left who could reach this point.
Those behind had all stopped.
“Sikong Jing, I won’t lose to you.” Yuwen Guan roared angrily, then worked hard to mend the martial arts of the stele before him and finally stepped onto the twenty-fourth.
He was ahead of Sikong Jing once again, and Yuwen Guan felt extremely exhilarated.
Afterward, two others stopped where Sikong Jing had, and four others went past.
At this time, Elder Wei returned to the first Divine Spaceship and said with a smile to General Ning, “I have to say, the people from Canglong Small Domain may not have the best martial roots, but their martial wisdom is certainly not bad.”
General Ning nodded, not wanting to speak.
“Elder Wei, do you think Ajing has a chance to go to the Long Night Empire with us now that he’s gotten this far?” Su Zhenglong also knew Elder Wei was approachable, so he quickly leaned in to ask.
Elder Wei nodded, “There’s still a good chance, now he’s fifth-grade upper martial wisdom.”
Relieved by this, Su Zhenglong caught his breath, and after a while, the second round of the martial trial was completed, with everyone except Sikong Jing finished.
Yuwen Guan stopped at the twenty-seventh stele, rated as sixth-grade martial wisdom…
The first place was still the genius from Xia Country, reaching the thirtieth stele, with seventh-grade martial wisdom.
The second place went to an ordinary woman from Shang Country, stunningly reaching the twenty-eighth stele.
Yuwen Guan was third, another at the twenty-fifth ranked fourth, and Sikong Jing came to the twenty-fourth and ranked fifth.
At that moment, General Ning softly declared, “Announce the cessation of the second round.”
Having been stopped before the twenty-fourth stele for so long, even if Sikong Jing hadn’t said he couldn’t do it, General Ning still believed he couldn’t, hence the decision to end it forcibly.
She didn’t want to waste more time on Sikong Jing.
Elder Wei nodded, ready to make the announcement…
But just at this moment, Sikong Jing actually moved again, stepping onto the next stone.
All eyes widened, and General Ning’s face turned iron blue once again, really doubting whether Sikong Jing had heard what he said, as if he was deliberately going against him.
In the next instant, Sikong Jing continued to move forward, becoming the fourth, then surpassing Yuwen Guan to become the third, followed by the second, and finally stopping at the thirtieth stone.
He was now tied for first place with the genius from Xia Country, and if he could step forward again, he would be the only one.
But he stopped again, standing quietly before the thirtieth stone, and this pause lasted for a quarter of an hour.
All of a sudden, General Ning flashed onto the second Divine Spaceship, followed by a group of Black-armored male and female soldiers, but Sikong Jing showed no response, still staring at the Wooden Stele before him.
General Ning landed in front of Sikong Jing and shouted forcefully, “I told you… enough!”
Instantly, Sikong Jing came to his senses only to be astonished to find General Ning right beside him, and asked in confusion, “Why is it enough?
I haven’t reached the end yet, there are still two more stones.”
He was extremely puzzled about what was going on with General Ning, who had suddenly interrupted his train of thought.
“If you want to go across, do it quickly.
What’s the meaning of stopping here?”
“Deliberately stopping at the thirtieth stone, right?
To make your competitors nervous, to make your enemies nervous, and then you can slap their faces?”
“This is the Long Night Empire’s Divine Spaceship, not a place for you to run wild.”
General Ning had completely understood, Sikong Jing was indeed stopping on purpose, aiming to mess with the mentality of his enemies.
But the Divine Spaceship of the Long Night Empire was not something to be used for his own advantage.
Stopping deliberately for a quarter of an hour, making him and everyone wait for him, what did he take himself and the Long Night Empire for?
Sikong Jing still frowned, full of doubts as he asked, “Slap faces?
I never thought about slapping anyone’s face.”
Using this Martial Arts test to slap Yuwen Guan’s face?
Totally unnecessary, Sikong Jing didn’t have such a weak scheming.
Just at that moment, the previously mentioned Black-armored Soldier suddenly exploded with True Qi, coldly saying, “Still denying it?
General Ning has tolerated you many times already, since you refuse to repent, go to hell!”
As the words fell, the Black-armored Soldier swung his sword again, with a Transcendent force viciously slashing towards Sikong Jing.
At this instant, Yan Ruyu and his group were all gleeful.
Sikong Jing’s own cleverness backfired, offending General Ning to the point of death just to slap his own face, now it seemed he was finally going to die.
Su Zhenglong and the others screamed out, “Don’t!”
But the black sword light was already slashing towards Sikong Jing, who still stood dumbfounded, showing no reaction at all.
It was at the moment when the black sword light arrived that Sikong Jing suddenly moved, lightly dodging it.
He avoided it so effortlessly…
Then, without paying attention to the Black-armored Soldier and General Ning, he said with clear eyes, “I understand now.”
After speaking, he walked straight to the next Wooden Stele.
That same phrase, the thirty-second Wooden Steles were using the Combat Skills of the Black-armored Soldier, and that last sword thrust made Sikong Jing comprehend what he hadn’t understood before, so he easily passed!
The Black-armored Soldier was stunned, Sikong Jing had actually dodged it?
However, Sikong Jing ignored him, passing another Wooden Stele, then fully passing all of the Steles without any obstruction.
That means, at the time the Black-armored Soldier made that sword slash, Sikong Jing had already completely grasped their Combat Skills.
At this moment, he was the undisputed first place, with Eighth Grade Martial Wisdom!
