Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Xiao Long and Hou Ning got in their positions. Both were staring at their opponent with different expressions. Xiao Long had a calm gaze, and Hou Ning had a slight mocking smile. They both stopped and had a staring compet.i.tion, both expressions not changing. After ten seconds Hou Ning finally decides to say something."So you easily defeat Zou Jing and think you are ready to fight me? Do you think I"m just sligthly stronger than him or something?" He sneered.
Xiao Long smiled and didn"t say anything. Hou Ning seemed bothered by his silence and mocked him some more.
"Are you doing this because I ordered people to beat you up in the past? Do you think you can make me tired so I lose the next battle? I"ll have you know I can beat you in one move." Hou Ning seemed to truly think like that Xiao Long had no chance of beating him.
Everyone was silent, the noisy crowd watching everything very closely.
"Let"s see who will be beaten in one move." Xiao Long broke the silence with a shocking statement to the crowd.
"HahahahahhahahahhHHAHAHAHHAAHAH..." Hou Ning started laughing like he heard the greatest joke in history. His laughter was seriously weird, he looked like someone trying to cosplay Iori Yagami.
"You , beating me in one move? Hahahahhaa... Haaaa...LISTEN CLOSELY PIECE OF TRASH, I"LL LET YOU HIT ME TEN TIMES, IF I GIVE ONE STEP BACK, I WILL SURRENDER IMMEDIATELY. BUT IF I DON"T....I WILL CRIPPLE YOU!!"The transition between the calm arrogant guy from before to the borderline crazy dude now left Noah feeling weird.

"This guy is dead." Was Noah conclusion watching everything. Come on, saying something like that to the protagonist is basically asking to lose, and in a shameful way too. He can almost predict what will happen next. He will get destroyed in one move, completely forget about saying he would surrender, get beaten hard anyway and get his influence in the sect and maybe his cultivation destroyed. And seeing how arrogant the guy was, having his power stripped away will make him crazy for real. The bigger they are the harder they fall.
Noah was feeling weird about how no one cared about him making threats like he would cripple him in public. If it was something like doing it and saying it was accident later Noah would understand as the sect higher ups don"t caring about the "trash" since Hou Ning was more valuable to them, but simply shouting it like that with everyone watching?
The elder who judge the matches didn"t even try to stop it, why even make rules for the tournament then? Noah was sure that some elder who was Hou Ning parent would appear from the depths of nowhere the moment Xiao Long wins and accuse him of breaking the rules.
"Are you sure about that?" Xiao Long had a smile in his face for the first time in the tournament.
"DO IT BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND AND DEFEAT YOU IN ONE MOVE INSTEAD." Hou Ning had a psychotic smirk.
"Your choice then." Xiao Long got into a martial stance, moved his arms around in a mystical way and shouted his technique name like usual.
"Earth Shattering Fist, Third Form,COUNTRY SHATTER!!!" He shouted the last part really loudly as he punched straight into Hou Ning face. The crowd felt a illusory might from that fist, like it would shatter everything beneath them. If even the crowd was like that, you can imagine how Hou Ning was feeling. With Noah sharp vision, he saw his smirk fading away and being replaced by fear of the approaching fist, but his pride didn"t let him move away. He just stared forward sweating a lot, as Xiao Long got closer and closer to his face.
When it was very near it, Noah saw signs of him trying to run away, but it was obviously too late for that.
"BOOOM!!"
The crowd hear a loud boom as Xiao Long hit with all his might on Hou Ning mouth, who was doing that arrogant smirk from before. He literally flew away and some people even questioned if he was alive. Hou Ning, who was now down in the ground feeling a lot of pain made some noises, so he was still conscious. No one was understanding him, he was making weird noises.
While everyone was trying the understand the reason for that, Noah was sure he saw a lot of white things that looked like teeth flying away when the punch hit...
