NOVPUBChapter 748: Chapter 520: Afterimage Chapter 748 -520: Afterimage 鈥淚 choose him!鈥
The lady in white lightly pointed towards Lei Ting in the farthest corner, her beautiful eyes brimming with confidence and composure.
Before Chu Mo could speak, Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 face at the center of the hall took on an extremely odd expression.
While others might not know of Lei Ting鈥檚 background, Wu Kunpeng had witnessed the strength of this newly promoted Great Grandmaster during the martial arts competition in Capital City just a few days prior.
With a single blow, Lei Ting had defeated a newly advanced half-step Grandmaster; his formidable strength was beyond doubt.
Previously, at the martial arts competition, Wu Kunpeng had discussed with several friends that a true Great Grandmaster, if serious, could unleash his Innate True Qi externally, and at least ten or twenty half-step Grandmasters might not be his match.
Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 own cultivation of the Golden Bell Shield might have reached perfection, and he believed ordinary people couldn鈥檛 break his defense, but he also knew his limits.
Even if he were to confront this Great Grandmaster, he might be able to withstand one punch, but within three moves, he would certainly be defeated.
...
Wu Kunpeng took a deep breath, his gaze fixated on his daughter, who wore a proud expression.
Initially, he wanted to stop this mismatched competition, but after a moment, considering his daughter had reached the peak of the second tier and was just one step away from the first tier, and if Great Grandmaster Lei Ting could give her a pointer or two, his children might advance even further.
At this thought, Wu Kunpeng, after a deep breath, chose not to intervene.
But at this moment, Chu Mo slightly furrowed his brow.
If Wu Youyou had chosen any other opponent, Chu Mo would have allowed that person to be challenged, but Lei Ting was the highest level of combat power at his side, also a pinnacle presence in the martial arts world.
Lei Ting would only take action if Chu Mo鈥檚 safety was in jeopardy.
潡堭潣凁潣潡?co
Normally, even Chu Mo would show him the utmost respect.
Chu Mo didn鈥檛 want to break the rules and forcefully order Lei Ting to act on behalf of Wu Youyou, as he might deeply regret it if his safety was truly threatened later on.
Just as Chu Mo was about to suggest Wu Youyou should challenge someone else, Lei Ting, who had been at the end of the crowd and appeared very ordinary until now, suddenly stepped forward.
The man with a tall physique and strong muscles calmly walked to the center of the hall, then quietly stood there without a single movement.
Sitting in his seat, Chu Mo slightly squinted his eyes, wondering why Lei Ting would take the initiative to fight.
As a martial arts Great Grandmaster, Lei Ting shouldn鈥檛 care about a little Wu Youyou.
However, since the latter had stepped forward on his own, Chu Mo refrained from saying more.
In the hall, with Lei Ting accepting the challenge, everyone held their breath again.
Wu Youyou once more got ready to attack, her small figure not trained in the Golden Bell Shield, but in a more nimble cultivation technique.
Wu Youyou, now at the peak of the second tier and just a step away from the first-tier experts, was definitely among the top individuals in the entire martial arts academy.
With her natural liveliness, she had 鈥榟andled鈥 almost every student in the academy, which led her to be somewhat contemptuous of others and boasted a very strong self-confidence.
Wu Youyou was already adjusting her breathing on the stage, ready to attack, but Lei Ting remained quietly standing in his place.
His gaze was straight ahead, devoid of any ripples, his entire being still as wood, giving off no detectable presence.
However, it was precisely Lei Ting鈥檚 serene composure that made Wu Youyou all the more cautious.
For a while, she didn鈥檛 dare to initiate an attack.
Wu Youyou kept adjusting her position on the stage, desperately looking for weaknesses in her opponent, while Wu Kunpeng spoke up from the center of the hall:
鈥淧lease forgive my daughter, Mr.
Chu.
She has been spoiled by me.
My daughter is quite talented, always smarter than her peers.
Combos and routines others would take a month to master, she could grasp in three to five days.
She practically bullied my three disciples as they grew up.
Yuanyuan is only nineteen years old this year and reached the second tier two years ago.
But it is precisely this cleverness that has cost her the patience for hard training, trapping her in the second tier for two years.
According to my calculations, it would take another three years, when she鈥檚 matured, to have a breakthrough and reach the first-tier level.
鈥淗aving my headstrong daughter select Master Lei Ting as her opponent today is a good thing.
It will at least teach her that there are always higher skies and people beyond people, lest her vision be forever constrained to the martial arts academy, to the small world of Dali.
She wouldn鈥檛 achieve anything great then!鈥
Chu Mo quietly listened to Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 words, not interrupting, but a glimmer of light flickered in his eyes.
Chu Mo鈥檚 purpose for coming to Dali was Wu Kunpeng.
He originally planned to start from the martial arts academy beneath his feet, but now, Chu Mo realized that Wu Youyou on the stage might be a chip he could use to his advantage!
Of course, he knew he couldn鈥檛 rush this matter, or it might provoke Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 displeasure and backfire.
While Chu Mo was deep in thought, Wu Youyou, dressed in white, was gradually losing patience on the central stage.
She probed several times only to find that the man in front of her showed no reaction whatsoever.
To say he was full of openings was just as accurate as saying he had none.
Wu Youyou felt almost unable to launch an attack.
