"How did she do that? She was moving too quickly. I couldn't see what she did. The odds were clearly not in her favor."
Liu Qing paid no attention to the looks everyone as giving her. She didn't care if they were looking at her with suspicion, disbelief, shock or bewilderment. She was in a state of stunned stupor herself.
The final move had been something that Jiang Ning had taught her. He had told her to conceal her true strength.
In her opinion, when you were faced with a powerful opponent like Luo Heng, you should throw everything that you had at him. You didn't have the luxury to conceal your true strength.
But she had ended up doing what Jiang Ning had told her to do. She had followed Jiang Ning's exact instructions on choosing the right moment to strike.
She had reeled back with shock when she had sent Luo Heng flying out of the arena.
I've won.'
Liu Qing sat down in front of Jiang Ning.
"I saw that," said Jiang Ning. "Congratulations."
Their conversation ended with Liu Qing's nod. No one said another word.
She needed some time to collect her thoughts. She needed time to think. How had she managed to win the fight?
She had been in that fight. She had won it. But she couldn't understand how she had managed that.
All she had done had been to follow what Jiang Ning had told her to do. That had led to her victory.
The outcome of the battle wasn't a proof of her strength. It was proof of the unimaginable depths that Jiang Ning possessed.
There wasn't anything to look forward to in the matches that followed.
There was no question about Liu Qing earning a place in the top three positions.
Another match was required. She had won Luo Heng. That was proof that she had grown stronger.
Zhang Heng stood in the distance with a dazed look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Mr Zhang, I didn't expect this to happen," Luo Heng said with a hint of resentment in his voice. "This was beyond my expectation. I didn't know that Liu Qing had such an attack up her sleeve. It was simply incredible...But such a technique doesn't exist in the Qingshan Sect."
