Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 241: This old guy is ruthless! Acknowledging his ancestors directly!

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: This old guy is ruthless! Acknowledging his ancestors directly!

What they saw was Ning Xuan standing where Lin Tianjun had been, casually cleaning his ear with his pinky.

Everyone was struck dumb.

Who was Lin Tianjun?

That was the proudest prodigy of the Lin Family, ranked third among the Ten Great Clans!

And the result?

One move!

He couldn’t even take a single move from that kid from Ning County!

This was simply too terrifying!

At this moment, the entire venue fell silent!

Even the contestants who had been fighting paused and stared at Ning Xuan in a daze.

The hearts of the three remaining contestants, who had their backs to the other youths, clenched.

This guy is even more terrifying than the legends!

Nanling Bully was messaging You Ruo, "Who was that guy who was killed with one punch?"

That question put You Ruo in an extremely awkward position. Just a short while ago, when Nanling Bully asked her who the prodigies here were, she had mentioned Lin Tianjun by name. And now, he couldn’t even take a single punch from Ning Xuan.

What would Nanling Bully think if he knew about this?

However, she had no choice. Steeling herself, she replied, "Ning Xuan has no martial virtue! What he did was no different from a sneak attack!"

She was clearly deflecting.

Nanling Bully understood. He stopped asking about the man’s identity and said, "That can’t be considered a sneak attack. In a martial arts duel, only the result matters. Besides, even if Lin Tianjun had been given an opening, he would still have died!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Ning Xuan’s speed was simply too fast! It was fast enough to shock even him!

He believed that if the monitoring device above was working, the higher-ups of High Heaven must be regarding Ning Xuan with newfound respect by now.

「At that moment, in Yao Guang.」

The bigwigs at the High Heaven headquarters had just recovered from their shock as they stared at the screen.

"This guy has incredible speed!"

"I could barely see him!"

"Is he really just at the Heavenly Realm?!"

"Terrifying! With talent like that, if he comes to Yao Guang, he’ll be unstoppable!"

"I thought he only excelled in trickery; little did I expect..."

Given their status, they knew the moment Ning Xuan made his move that they had severely underestimated the young man. For a moment, all their minds started turning.

If we could recruit him into our ranks, that would be absolutely...

The elder of the Situ Family immediately spoke up, "It’s a good thing he has close ties with the Bi Luo Palace. Once he gets to Yao Guang, I’ll personally invite him to visit the Situ Family."

"Situ, are you really just inviting him as a guest? I’m too embarrassed to even call you out! Your Situ Family has the weakest Martial Arts inheritance, so just give up."

Another bigwig spoke up, directly trying to knock the Situ Family out of the competition for Ning Xuan. As they were all old foxes, they knew it was best to eliminate competitors as early as possible. Thus, everyone chimed in with their agreement.

The elder from the Situ Family’s face turned green. He felt like slapping himself.

How foolish! Why did I have to be the one to stick my neck out?

But he immediately found an excuse for himself.

Ah, this can’t be my fault. If anyone’s to blame, it’s Ning Xuan for being too outstanding.

It was unassailable! This was because the other powers were already arguing until they were red in the face.

"Nanling, you have the nerve to speak up? Have you considered Nanling Bully’s intelligence? He couldn’t even outplay Ning Xuan, so why would Ning Xuan ever consider your Nanling Family?"

The group collectively fired their shots, having just repelled the elder from the Nanling Family. Unexpectedly, the Wenren Family also joined the fray.

"Wenren, are you mad?! Ning Xuan killed someone from your Wenren Family! Why are you joining in the commotion?"

"Exactly! He’s an enemy of the Wenren Family!"

"Who was it just now who looked like they wanted to tear him to shreds? Wenren, you haven’t forgotten already, have you?"

"Wenren, rest assured. I definitely won’t tell him about this."

"..."

Everyone laid into the Wenren Family’s elder, but they had run into a tough nut to crack.

"Didn’t you see Ning Xuan holding our Wenren Family ancestor’s Ancient Jade? He has already received our ancestor’s acknowledgment. He is now our Wenren Family’s Little Ancestor!" the elder said with a beaming smile. "What enemy? The Little Ancestor was just cleaning house! He did a good job killing them! When he reaches Yao Guang, we will definitely invite him to reorganize the family. He can kill as many as he wants!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This old bastard is ruthless! To compete for Ning Xuan, he just went and acknowledged him as an ancestor!

And to make matters worse, Ning Xuan really did have a piece of Ancient Jade in his hand. Even if it was fake, it was real now!

How could they possibly compete?!

For a moment, their gazes toward Ning Xuan on the screen were filled with resentment.

Honestly... why couldn’t Ning Xuan have impersonated someone from our family? We can acknowledge an ancestor too!

Seeing that everyone else had fallen silent, the Wenren Family elder was cackling internally!

Those Divine Crystals I spent earlier were so damn worth it!

Looking at Ning Xuan on the screen again, his gaze completely changed. It was the expression of a long-lost son who had finally found his billionaire father.

Damn it! I was just laughing at him a moment ago, but now I wish I *was* him!

Shit, what kind of bullshit luck does this old geezer have? How did that even work?!

"..."

They were burning with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

"Gentlemen, let’s watch the Grand Competition. Let’s watch the Grand Competition. I’m sure there will be other prodigies," the Wenren Family elder said, knowing he was now the public enemy. He suppressed his laughter and spoke with a straight face.

What else could the others do? They could only place their hopes on other prodigies.

I hope they can live up to expectations!

I’m not asking for someone with Ning Xuan’s strength. I’d take someone with half of it!

Our family is a bit weaker; we’d take someone with a third of Ning Xuan’s strength!

"..."

Unknowingly, Ning Xuan had become a unit of measurement.

「Meanwhile, back on the dueling stage at Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace.」

Ning Xuan called out, "Who is from the Mo Family? Step forward."

On the stage, Mo Wu and Mo Junxin exchanged glances, but neither moved. Mo Wu, in particular, was furious.

This guy has clearly seen me before—we’ve even fought! Now he’s pretending not to know me? What does he mean by that?! Is he looking down on me?!

His Protector, who had been silent since Mo Wu’s arrival, couldn’t help but issue a reminder. "Don’t be rash! His strength is far greater than before! You must back down immediately! A wise man knows when to yield!"

Mo Wu was shocked, instantly realizing the gravity of the situation. Without a moment’s hesitation, he stood up on his own, not even bothering to inform Mo Junxin.

"I am Mo Wu from the Mo Family. May I ask what guidance Brother Ning has?" Mo Wu asked, his face wreathed in a humble smile.

Ning Xuan was somewhat speechless.

His attitude is so damn good. How am I supposed to make a move now?

Seeing the situation was turning ugly, Mo Junxin also hurried to stand up.

I know what Ning Xuan is up to. This guy deliberately came here to cause trouble! If I don’t bring up Mo Xiaoxiao, the consequences will be dire!

"And me," he said. "My name is Mo Junxin. I’m Xiaoxiao’s—no, that’s not right. I had the privilege of being Ning Sanwu’s elder brother for over ten years."

Ning Xuan wanted to curse internally.

How did all these guys suddenly get so shrewd? This is making things difficult for me! Still, this won’t be enough to stop me!
