Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Doubts and Misunderstandings Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Doubts and Misunderstandings Li Nanzhi, the second on the Dragon Rankings, is a mystical woman from the Western Regions.
During the last Dragon Ranking battles, she emerged out of nowhere and became famous in one fight, directly challenging Zhao Donglai who was ranked second at that time.
Within a mere hundred moves, she defeated Zhao Donglai, took his place, and became the second on the Dragon Rankings.
And Zhao Donglai moved down to third place!
Her true age is a mystery, with some saying she’s over thirty, while others say she hasn’t even reached thirty yet.
She is also very secretive, having stayed in the Western Regions, and there have been very few tales of her in the Martial Arts World in recent years.
No one expected that Li Nanzhi, the ‘Jade Guanyin’ from the Western Regions, would actually come today to watch the battle at The Imperial Mountain.
On Lotus Peak, the Martial Arbiters Old Gong and Old Dong couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards her.
“We were just speaking of Li Nanzhi, and unexpectedly she has arrived. It seems this woman is also curious about Master Lin,” said Old Dong.
But Old Gong hmphed and said, “Old Dong, you seem to have a high regard for this woman.”
Old Dong shook his head: “It’s not that I have a high regard for her, it’s just that she indeed possesses monstrous talents. Her strength is unfathomable, practicing special cultivation methods from Buddhism, and once she achieves breakthrough as an Earth Realm martial artist, she could even fight a Third or Fourth Stage Grandmaster!”
“Moreover, her potential is boundless, and her true age is still under thirty…”
Unable to contain his curiosity, Old Gong asked, “Then Old Dong, how do you think she compares to Master Lin? Who is stronger and who is weaker?”
Old Dong laughingly said, “Hard to say, hard to say. After all, we haven’t seen Master Lin in action yet!”
At that moment, Zhao Donglai also looked towards Li Nanzhi.
For someone who had defeated him in the last Dragon Ranking battles, his expression was a complex mix of emotions.
“To think even she would come. What is she here for? Is she merely curious about Master Lin?” wondered Zhao Donglai, puzzled.
It wasn’t just him who was puzzled.
The others standing on different peaks, like Seven Kills, Azure Dragon Messenger, and others, all wore expressions of confusion.
This woman who ranked second on the Dragon Rankings, the ‘Jade Guanyin’ Li Nanzhi from the Western Regions, besides having fought in the previous Dragon Ranking battles and showing her face, had almost never appeared at any other martial events.
Always living in seclusion in the Western Regions, she logically should not have come.
Miss Ying was somewhat puzzled at the moment and she asked Old Ming, “Old Ming, do you know much about Li Nanzhi?”
Old Ming shook his head: “Even we in the Martial Arts Dark Web have very little information about her. Where she comes from, who her master is, and even her specific age are unknown to us…”
“She truly is an enigmatic person,” Miss Ying said. “Why would such a mysterious person come out of her seclusion for Master Lin? Is she really just here to watch this battle?”
As they spoke, Li Zhaixing, who was also on the bright mountain summit, said indifferently with his hands behind his back: “I, indeed, know some of the reasons.”
“Oh? Senior Li Zhaixing, what do you know?” Miss Ying hurriedly asked.
“Heaven’s secrets must not be revealed!” suddenly, Li Zhaixing shook his head.
Miss Ying: “…”
She suddenly felt an urge to punch this pretentious guy.
So annoying, to start talking and then stop halfway.
And Old Ming beside him let out a cold snort, unable to restrain himself anymore and muttered angrily, “Li Zhaixing, stop putting on airs, acting mysterious.”
“You’re a long-renowned top expert in the Martial Way, at an old age, and still acting pretentious like this—is it interesting to you?”
Li Zhaixing blew a strand of hair from his forehead and countered, “Do you think I’m pretending to understand something I don’t?”
“Well then, revealing a bit of heaven’s mysteries to you shouldn’t matter.”
“This matter, it probably involves that Western Regions girl’s Special Physique. Have you ever heard of the ‘Fantasy Constitution’?”
“Fantasy Constitution?” Upon hearing this, Old Ming’s face changed slightly.
Miss Ying was utterly clueless and hastily asked, “Old Ming, what is this ‘Fantasy Constitution’?”
Old Ming explained, “In this world, there are nine major constitutions for women. There are the Hundred Flowers Constitution, Soft Bone Constitution, Nine Yin physique, Flawless Constitution… And the foremost of these nine constitutions is called ‘Fantasy Constitution’.”
“A woman with this constitution is like the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, progressing in cultivation at an astonishing speed, easily stepping into the Earth Realm as a martial artist, and even having the opportunity to strike at the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.”
“However, this constitution also has its flaw, which is the presence of ‘Karma Fire’ within the body. If the individual cannot find a man who can balance with her Yin and Yang and extinguish the Karma Fire within, she will be devoured by the Karma Fire upon her breakthrough to the Earth Realm as a martial artist.”
“Even her Spirit and Soul would be consumed by the Karma Fire…”
Hearing this, Old Ming suddenly thought of a possibility.
“Could it be that this woman is of the Fantasy Constitution? She has yet to make a breakthrough to the Earth Realm as a martial artist, always suppressing her strength to that of a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, is it because of this reason?”
Upon hearing this, Miss Ying stood up with realization.
“Right, it must be so. And this time, Jade Guanyin Li Nanzhi’s reason for coming to watch Master Lin could be that she has selected Master Lin as the man to clear the Karma Fire from her body?”
Old Ming nodded, “That must be the case.”
Li Zhaixing coughed slightly and said, “My bad, my bad, for leaking heaven’s secrets.”
“But never mind! With my hand I can pluck the stars and moons from the heavens; in this world, no one else is quite like me. I, Li Zhaixing, even if I reveal heaven’s secrets, what of it? Heaven can do nothing to me!!”
As he spoke, he tilted his head at a forty-five-degree angle, hands still clasped behind his back.
Just then, a beam of sunlight shone directly upon his figure.
Upon witnessing this scene, even Miss Ying and the nearby Old Ming couldn’t help but sigh internally.
This Li Zhaixing really knew how to put on a show!
And to such an extent that even they had to admit defeat.
“Boom!!!”
Just then, suddenly, from the direction of Dahou Mountain at the back of The Imperial Mountain, an abnormal energy wave surged forth.
The energy soared into the sky, breaking through the sea of clouds.
Seeing this, everyone’s eyes were drawn to it.
“That is… Chen Beiming is coming out of seclusion!”
“He has broken through to become an Earth Realm martial artist!!!”
