Liu Qing knew what she had to do. She simply needed more time.
The outcome of this match was clear.
The disciples in the audience could see the outcome now. They saw Liu Qing defeated and her eyes red as she left the arena. They saw her being sent to the Outer Court...
Not Jiang Ning though.
He simply sat there. The expression on his face had not shifted since the beginning of the test.
He stared at Liu Qing as she stood in the arena and thought to himself, "If she were an actress, she would have won the award for best acting. What a great performance."
BOOM!
A deafening attack sent Liu Qing flying. She skidded some distance across the ground before finally steadying herself.
The more berserk she became, the calmer Luo Heng tried to appear. He seemed to be sending Liu Qing a message that no matter how desperately she tried, she was going to fail.
The outcome of their match had been determined before the fight had started.
"You can attempt to ambush me from the back. You won't stand a chance if you mount a frontal attack," said Luo Heng. "I'll pretend that I didn't see you run behind me. How does that sound to you?”
His flippant words were piercing needles that stabbed into Liu Qing's heart.
She let loose a sudden roar in a display of her fury. Her fists sped up as she attempted to strike him.
Luo Heng burst out into laughter as he blocked her attacks. He spoke as he fought. "Dear Junior, don't get mad. I'm just joking with you."
He could tell that Liu Qing was mad. She was beginning to lose her reason and her moves were turning unruly.
When your opponent could easily manipulate your emotions in the middle of a fight, it meant that you were weak in both body and mind.
Luo Heng threw a punch at Liu Qing. She blocked the attack with both arms hastily, but the force of the blow still sent her sliding back a few steps.
"Alright, junior, I can't keep playing with you. You're not the one I have to beat."
Luo Heng had reached the end of his patience.
He should have ended the fight a long time ago.
After a series of testing, he concluded that Liu Qing still had to put in a lot of work before she could be his match.
It was meaningless to continue taunting her.
Luo Heng sped up suddenly. His fists appeared to dance lightly in the air but the force behind those fists had increased suddenly.
He was going to end this match with a single blow.
This ended here.
