Chapter 2037: Could Probably Make It Into the Top 50
Ning Shu had triumphantly progressed all the way into the top 100 only relying on her own brute strength. Little Grass hadn’t done anything from beginning to end.
Ning Shu had become the biggest upset in this tournament. No one would have thought that Ning Shu, this trash summoner, would make it to the top 100 by relying only on her physical strength.
Although they were surprised, most thought that Ning Shu wouldn’t advance any farther. A person simply couldn’t compare to a summoned beast; it wasn’t enough to just have physical strength.
As she advanced farther, it was very likely that any kind of powerful summoned beast would be able to defeat Ning Shu in seconds.
Ning Shu didn’t care. In any case, she still had energy to spare and could probably make it into the top 50 without Little Grass.
On the contrary, Instructor Wen was quite surprised. Some of the students he’d had high hopes for were eliminated while Ning Shu, who he’d had placed no hope in, advanced.
“Very nice job.” Instructor Wen praised Ning Shu softly.
“Thank you, Instructor.” Ning Shu said with a smile. She would definitely make it to the top 50. The opportunity to defeat Lian Bingmeng in a just and honorable way could not be missed.
As long as she defeated Lian Bingmeng, she would be freed from Lian Bingmeng’s forced friendship.
Instructor Wen leaned back in his chair as he watched the arena match, then shook his head. “The weaknesses of summoners have already been exposed. Everything depends on the summoned beast – the summoned beast has to both fight the enemy and protect their master.”
“Once something happens to the summoned beast, the summoner has no power.” Instructor Wen said with a sigh.
“Some summoners also train in martial arts,” Ning Shu said.
Instructor Wen shook his head. “Only summoners are highly regarded. Many people look down on martial artists. Besides, a martial artist can only do a little bit of weak kicking and punching.”
Ning Shu’s expression was indifferent. How could there not be a method like internal strength training in this world?
Her Unsurpassable Martial Arts were sure to shine here.
When the time came, she would be able to gain more faith power again. Ning Shu felt good just thinking about it.
“Instructor Wen, do you also practice martial arts?” Ning Shu asked, unable to imagine the gentle and jade-like Instructor Wen rolling up his sleeves and lifting a stone weight.
“Yes, I do.” Instructor Wen nodded.
Ning Shu imagined Instructor Wen taking off his shirt and working out, wow…
“What are you guys talking so happily about?” Lian Bingmeng sat down and said to Ning Shu, “I can’t believe you made the top 100. Congratulations. You’re really good at punching and kicking. Let’s have some fun when we face each other in the arena.”
“Okay…” Ning Shu nodded, recalling that Lian Bingmeng seemed to know ancient martial arts. While she was a mercenary in the modern world, her teacher was from an ancient martial arts family.
Ancient martial arts practiced the pinnacle of martial arts. Even drifting flowers and fallen leaves could be used to injure others; grass, trees, bamboo, and stones could all be dangerous as well.
There were very few people who knew that Lian Bingmeng practiced ancient martial arts. Ning Shu couldn’t help but wonder what level Lian Bingmeng’s martial arts were at.
Lian Bingmeng narrowed her eyes and stared at Ning Shu for a while. Ning Shu met her gaze, then Lian Bingmeng was the first to avert her eyes. Lian Bingmeng said to Instructor Wen, “Instructor, I have something to ask you.”
“What’s the matter?” Instructor Wen gently said.
Lian Bingmeng glanced at Ning Shu. Ning Shu got up, planning to get some water.
As if she wanted to listen in.
Ning Shu went to the gate of the academy to buy some water and snacks. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw someone dressed as a servant at the academy entrance talking to Mu Ziqi.
She didn’t know what the little servant said, but it caused Mu Ziqi’s face to turn angry and sad. The rims of Mu Ziqi’s eyes even reddened and his fists clenched.
Ning Shu could guess what had happened.
Almost instantly, Ning Shu recalled themMiss of the Mu family who’d died in the man-eating tree forest. Could it be that the miss had a good relationship with Mu Ziqi?
Anyway, her body had already been completely destroyed so there was no way to track her death.
Ning Shu watched Mu Ziqi while nibbling on some snacks. Mu Ziqi, with reddened eyes, waved his hand to dismiss the servant.
The servant bowed and quickly ran away. Mu Ziqi wiped at his tears and fiercely slammed his fist against the wall.
