He was the strongest disciple in the Inner Court who was going to be placed in the Portico and made the disciple of the Senior Elder. How could he be defeated by an ordinary stranger?

He didn't believe it.

Luo Heng had more questions for Zhang Heng, but the latter had stopped talking to him.

The look of disappointment and disdain in Zhang Heng's eyes threatened to drive Luo Heng to the edge.

He had never been looked down by anyone before.

As a prodigy, he had always been given preferential treatment. He was convinced that he was the cream of the crop when compared to the other young disciples in Qingshan Sect. He believed that he could hold his own against other disciples from other sects in the mountain.

How could he have lost to a complete stranger?

"That asshole! That bastard!" Luo Heng cursed furiously.

But no one cared about what he thought and how he felt.

He had lost.

Everyone had seen him being defeated by Liu Qing, not Jiang Ning. They had seen how Liu Qing's attack had driven him out of the arena.

Some of them was still stuck in disbelief. They had not recovered from their shock.

But thing were as they had witnessed. What they had seen had truly happened.

"When did Third Miss become so powerful?"

"I can't believe that Senior Luo lost...maybe he underestimated her."

"There's not an excuse. If you lose, you lose. He was defeated in front of so many people."

The fervent discussions around him only made Luo Heng feel worse.

The look on his face was that of utter calm and there was a hint of a smile on his lips. He seemed like such a great sportsman who cared little about the outcome of the match. But his stormy eyes betrayed his rage.

"I won."

Liu Qing walked up to Jiang Ning. She couldn't control the exhilaration that was bubbling inside her.

She couldn't believe it. She had really won the match.

"Of course you did." Jiang Ning smiled. "He wasn't strong at all."

Jiang Ning hadn't spoken loudly. Nevertheless, Luo Heng had heard him clearly.

"Who are you?"

He couldn't take it anymore. He blew up instantly, his voice reverberating across the field and sending the crowd into a deathly silence.

"Such arrogance!" Luo Heng pointed at Jiang Ning and thundered, "Everyone knows that Liu Qing won because I went easy on her. Who gave you the right to mock me?"

Luo Heng had said that he had gone easy on Liu Qing. He had no shame at all.

No one believed him. They might believe him if he had said that he had underestimated Liu Qing and had lost the fight as a result.

But no one dared to refute his claims though.

At the same time, they hadn't expected Jiang Ning to say that Luo Heng was no match for Liu Qing.

None of the Qingshan Sect disciples would have dared to make such a claim.

Tm just telling it like it is," said Jiang Ning

mildly after glancing at Luo Heng.

In Jiang Ning's opinion, Luo Heng was a mediocre fighter. He couldn't even compare with Chen Long He didn't deserve to be hailed as the strongest disciple in the Inner Court.

His words sounded like provocation to Luo Heng.

Jiang Ning was provoking him openly.

He wouldn't be able to hold his head high in the sect if he didn't respond to his act of provocation.

"You're full of yourself!" Luo Heng sneered. "Do you think yourself better than me? Can you defeat me in a fight?" Jiang Ning laughed.

Liu Qing froze for a moment, then burst out into laughter too.

She might have gotten worried for Jiang Ning if she didn't know Jiang Ning as well as she did. Jiang Ning's casual guidance had been the reason for her rapid and marked progress. Liu Qing might not know exactly how powerful Jiang Ning was, but she had some idea.

She knew that Jiang Ning never lied.

But to everyone else in the audience, Jiang Ning had just doomed himself.

He was an arrogant punk who was going to suffer.

He had provoked Luo Heng while the latter had been stewing in rage. This was an unwise decision.

Luo Heng had just been defeated by Liu Qing moments ago.

Everyone knew that Liu Qing wasn't truly Luo Heng's match in terms of actual ability. But Luo Heng had lost. He was definitely going to be extremely unhappy about that.

Nevertheless, Jiang Ning had provoked him. He didn't know whom he was messing with at all, did he?
