Chapter 198: Unpredictable Ghost Hand, Anticipating the Enemy's Moves

"Younger brother, please go easy on me~"

On the sword-testing platform, after just three rounds, Gong Buwei had already easily won.

He deliberately dragged out the three rounds to save face for the other party.

The defeated disciple from White Mountain naturally understood this and respectfully bowed to admit defeat.

And so, the competition proceeded quickly.

Fu Ning's number was "seventeen," so it was soon his turn.

The disciple with the number "eighteen" was from Black Mountain. When he saw Fu Ning stepping onto the stage, he was momentarily stunned, but then he became delighted.

At the same time, several Black Mountain disciples below the stage burst into laughter.

"Senior Yuan really has good luck~"

"Yeah, he actually drew that 'genius' from Red Mountain, hahaha."

"So it's him, the waste who couldn't open the Scenic Palace~"

When they mentioned the word "genius," the group of people laughed uproariously.

After all, Fu Ning's previous image was that of a damaged foundation, a waste who had difficulty cultivating.

However, soon enough, the disciple from Red Mountain retorted, "Waste? If disciples who can pass the first two rounds are also 'waste,' then aren't you all even worse than waste for not passing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, those several Black Mountain disciples immediately became furious. "He's just naturally gifted with divine power. If he were to use Origin Qi, he wouldn't be worth mentioning in front of Senior Guo."

Both sides refused to back down.

Before they could settle on a result, the two on the stage had already started fighting.

"Younger brother, be careful."

Before the words even finished, Guo Zhun had already extended a misty ghost hand in front of him.

As soon as the ghost hand appeared, it pounced straight towards Fu Ning.

The whole process flowed smoothly, with extremely fast speed.

The people below the stage watched and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Guo Zhun knew that Fu Ning was naturally gifted with divine power, so he immediately used the "ghost hand" to restrict Fu Ning's range of movement.

But how could Fu Ning be so easily dealt with? Seeing the "ghost hand" already approaching his face, he showed no signs of panic on his face. He simply extended his hand.

A deep red flame shot out from the void.

"It's the Fire of Departure! Red Mountain's 'Red Maple Fire of Departure'!"

"Ghost Origin Qi," "Wind Origin Qi," "Thunder Origin Qi," "Ice Origin Qi," and so on, are all special Origin Qi derived from the Five Elements Origin Qi.

Just like "Ghost Origin Qi," it is derived from "Yin Origin Qi."

So it is restrained by yang attribute secret arts, like the "Red Maple Fire of Departure" that Fu Ning is using now.

The Fire of Departure is the root of the yang attribute.

When ghost energy collides with the Fire of Departure, it naturally dissipates.

So Guo Zhun was also surprised to see this. He didn't expect that this renowned "genius" from Red Mountain had already evolved the "Red Maple Fire of Departure."

Immediately changing direction, the "ghost hand" avoided the Fire of Departure and turned in mid-air, continuing to attack Fu Ning from behind.

Each type of special Origin Qi often possesses certain corresponding properties.

The nature of "Ghost Origin Qi" is precisely four words: unpredictable and unfathomable.

That's why the "ghost claw" can effortlessly change direction in mid-air.

But Fu Ning seemed to have anticipated it long ago.

His body remained motionless, but he swung his right hand in the opposite direction.

This palm was as fast as lightning and instantly collided with the "ghost claw" behind his head.

Boom~

A loud tremor.

The "ghost claw" dissipated with a sound.

The disciples below the stage were all stunned, and it took them a while to react.

"How is this possible! Did I see it wrong?"

"Senior Guo's 'ghost claw' was actually shattered by his palm?!"

On the stage, Guo Zhun's eyes widened in disbelief.

He had been on the mountain for seven years, and although he couldn't compare to He Qiang or Wu Chou and the like, he had some reputation among the ordinary disciples.

Especially in the secret technique "Ghost Claw," he had immersed himself for many years and was confident that ordinary disciples would find it difficult to escape his "Ghost Claw" attacks.

But now, his "Ghost Claw" had been easily dispersed by such an ordinary palm strike.

"Impossible!"

Guo Zhun refused to believe it. Immediately, ghost energy surged from his body as he simultaneously unleashed two "Ghost Claw" techniques towards Fu Ning.

As soon as the "Ghost Claw" appeared, it quickly moved through the void, elusive and unpredictable.

The disciples below couldn't even see the trajectory of the "Ghost Claw."

"Senior Brother Guo is serious now."

"Indeed, Senior Brother Guo's 'Ghost Claw' is truly mysterious and unstoppable!"

"Now that Red Mountain Junior Brother won't be able to stop it so easily."

In Fu Ning's eyes on the stage, two traces of gloom flashed. Even his "Fast-Slow" Eye couldn't capture the traces of the "Ghost Claw."

But his expression remained unchanged. However, within his inner world, two maple leaves fell, and soon two cracks appeared on the Turtle Shell Scenic Palace.

It was the activation of his Inner Scenic Diagram's "Divination."

In the next moment, Fu Ning decisively struck out with two palms along the directions of the two cracks.

To outsiders, these two palms seemed to be casually thrown.

The people below couldn't understand.

"He's panicking, he's panicking."

"It seems that this Red Mountain 'genius' has been confused by Senior Brother Guo."

"Haha, I said that the previous palm was a coincidence. My Black Mountain's 'Ghost Hand' is unpredictable. It's not that simple to be stopped."

Even the disciple who had spoken up for Fu Ning earlier fell silent.

"What's wrong with Junior Brother Fu? Could he really be confused?"

"Ah, it seems that his previous palm was a coincidence."

"'Ghost Hand' is not that simple to..."

Just then, two loud bangs came from mid-air.

Bang! Bang!

The two sounds almost occurred simultaneously, almost overlapping into one.

"How is this possible!"

Everyone widened their eyes, looking at the scene in mid-air with incredulity on their faces.

They saw that the two palms that Fu Ning had casually thrown happened to hit the ever-changing "Ghost Hand."

"How is this possible?!"

"Anticipating the enemy's moves? How did he... how did he do it?"

"Those two palms were clearly thrown casually, but... why did they collide with the 'Ghost Hand'?"

To outsiders, after the "Ghost Hand" was used, it disappeared like a ghost due to its unpredictable nature.

Then Fu Ning casually threw the two palms.

But it was precisely these two palms that managed to strike down the unpredictable "Ghost Hand" anomaly.

When Fu Ning's palm strength hit the "Ghost Hand," it was as if the "Ghost Hand" had collided with Fu Ning's palm strength.

Only Fu Ning himself knew that this was the power of his first evolved Inner Scenic Diagram, "Divination."

It could anticipate the enemy's moves and was not limited by the process.

After the "Ghost Hand" dissipated, Guo Zhun on the opposite side was already covered in cold sweat.

When he looked at Fu Ning again, there was no longer the initial disdain in his eyes.

He couldn't understand how the other party had seen through the trajectory of the "Ghost Hand."

Afterwards, Guo Zhun tried to release several "Ghost Hands," but no matter how he manipulated them, they were all struck down by a single palm.

Gradually, Guo Zhun's mind became chaotic, and after a few more rounds, he was defeated.

With the cheers of the crowd, Fu Ning finally won the first victory of the grand competition.
