My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 314: Chapter 160: Seeking Alms

And then there were the gazes, each one laced with killing intent and chilling hostility...

But Qin Fang ignored them all. Gone was his previous playful demeanor; his expression was now calm and composed as he walked straight onto the arena platform.

He was met with Wang Jing’s complicated gaze.

"Are you... out of your mind?"

Wang Jing’s question reached Qin Fang as a focused whisper.

Qin Fang’s expression remained unchanged. "I’ll have to trouble you again, Hundred Households," he said calmly. "But since the Rule allows it, I don’t think there’s anything more to discuss, is there? Please, let’s begin."

Wang Jing wanted to say more.

But after opening his mouth, he simply shook his head and remained silent.

He announced, "Qin Fang of B Courtyard, number seven, challenges Fu Chen of A Courtyard, number eighteen... Will the challenged please enter the arena?"

Soon, a stony-faced Fu Chen slowly walked onto the platform, his gaze as dark and sharp as a knife.

"The Rule is to pull your blows. Admitting defeat or being knocked out of the circle counts as a loss. No malicious harm... Is that understood?"

Hundred Households Wang asked in a heavy voice.

Fu Chen ignored him, staring daggers at Qin Fang. "I hadn’t even come looking for you, and yet you’ve shown up at my door? Did you think that just because you beat a..."

Before he could finish, Qin Fang looked at Wang Jing and calmly asked, "I understand the Rule. May we begin?"

Wang Jing snapped back to his senses and nodded subconsciously. "You may begin."

A look of shocked anger flashed across Fu Chen’s face, and he was about to speak again.

But in the next instant, his vision blurred, and Qin Fang’s figure vanished.

His expression changed dramatically. He shot backward, dodging a palm strike by a hair’s breadth.

But that was only the first palm. The next moment, with a dull THUD, he let out a muffled grunt. A tremendous force sent him flying, and he landed in a heap outside the red ropes!

"Young Master?!"

Fu Chen’s two maids hadn’t even processed what had happened before Fu Chen was already defeated!

This sudden turn of events made the pupils of nearly everyone present contract in shock!

’...That fast?!’

In all of Qin Fang’s previous challenges, he had never taken the offensive. He would let his opponent attack first, letting the fight drag on for a long time before finally putting them down.

Although, judging by the process, they knew Qin Fang’s combat prowess was certainly not weak.

But they never expected...

’...that he was this strong?!’

Fu Chen was a contender for one of the twelve seats!

And yet, he was defeated in just two moves?!

’This...’

Everyone drew in a sharp, cold breath, their eyes fixed on Qin Fang.

But Qin Fang remained expressionless. Without even glancing at the defeated Fu Chen, he asked Wang Jing impassively, "A question for the Hundred Households, if you please. Do I count this as a win?"

Only then did Wang Jing snap out of it, his gaze heavy as he looked at Qin Fang.

He finally nodded.

"B Courtyard..."

He announced Qin Fang’s victory.

Everyone present gasped.

"I’m in a hurry. How about the next match?"

Qin Fang asked calmly.

Wang Jing took a deep breath. "The second match..."

This time, it was Liu Rushi!

Liu Rushi was an exceptionally beautiful woman with a face like winter frost. As she stepped onto the platform, her lovely eyes locked onto Qin Fang.

"You..."

She had just opened her mouth to speak.

When Qin Fang interrupted, asking Wang Jing, "May we begin?"

Stunned, Wang Jing simply nodded.

The next moment...

SWISH! SWISH!

BANG!!

Liu Rushi also dodged the first strike, but the second sent her flying!

...Qin Fang was cold and ruthless, showing no mercy just because she was a woman.

Liu Rushi clutched her stomach in pain, glaring at Qin Fang on the platform.

She gritted her teeth in fury!

’This damned man, he...’

"Next match?"

Wang Jing was growing numb to it all.

’He thought he was starting to understand what Qin Fang was doing...’

’Was he using his actions to show them that his strength was far beyond theirs?’

’Forcing them to accept him as a new variable in their equation?’

’Was he telling them that rather than targeting him, they’d have a better chance of winning by turning on each other?’

...Of course, Wang Jing knew the exact circumstances of the five people Qin Fang had chosen.

Wang Jing’s eyes flickered, but he still announced the start of the third match...

The third match was against Han Wang.

Han Wang was a young man with a prematurely aged appearance. If his file hadn’t stated he was only twenty-nine, anyone would have mistaken him for a man of forty.

Han Wang took his position, but before he even had a chance to speak, Wang Jing gave the order to begin.

SWISH! SWISH!

BANG!

In almost the exact same rhythm, he, too, was knocked off the platform.

The fourth match: Fan Ze...

SWISH! SWISH!

BANG!

Fan Ze was defeated.

The final match... it was Xue Yi’s turn.

Xue Yi looked at Qin Fang with a strange, twisted expression...

The Qin Fang of today was different from the man he’d seen yesterday. There wasn’t a hint of a smile on his face; he just stared back with cold indifference.

That gaze...

It sent a chill through Xue Yi’s heart.

He opened his mouth, about to speak, but at Wang Jing’s command... even Xue Yi, the man who had shared drinks with Qin Fang, couldn’t withstand the second move and was sent flying off the platform!

Clean and decisive!

Absolutely merciless!

BOOM!!

All the spectators below drew in a collective, sharp breath...

Five Huajin...

He fought five Huajin in a row!

And this Qin Fang... his expression hadn’t changed one bit!

Every single one of them, defeated in two moves!

’This...’

’Is this Qin Fang’s true strength?’

Qian Ruhai watched with gleaming eyes, while Lin Chen felt his scalp tingle with fear.

Wang Jing announced Qin Fang’s complete victory in all five matches, granting him re-entry into A Courtyard...

However, he had challenged a few too many this time. Five A Courtyards... according to the Rule, they all belonged to him now...

...This was something unprecedented in the history of the Post House!

...After all, who in their right mind would go on a challenging spree against their peers when they already had a place in A Courtyard?

Surveying the chaotic scene, Qin Fang merely swept a flat, indifferent glance over them all before turning to leave.

This time, he left without saying a single word.

The five of them gritted their teeth in fury, their gazes on Qin Fang’s departing back were as if laced with poison.

But bound by the Post House Rule, there was nothing they could do.

And just as they returned, simmering with resentment, to start packing their belongings to move...

A message arrived...

"Qin Fang... he... he’s sent another challenge slip. Tomorrow... he’s... he’s going to challenge you all again..."

Everyone’s expression changed.
