Chapter 279: The Daughter of the War God: Ranqingmo

NieZhenghao's body emitted pure white yang qi, shoving the crowded people nearby away.

He doesn't plan to stay on the mountaintop any longer; as for whether the one who triggered the anomaly is Lu Jing, he'll ask him when he finds him.

Swoosh—

A fire‑red supercar stopped in the Martial Way arena parking lot.

The driver's door swung open, and a pair of fair, long legs stepped out.

Immediately, the woman's stunningly beautiful face emerged, beautiful enough to take one's breath away.

She wore sunglasses, giving her a slightly aloof air, but when she removed them, a pair of eyes that glittered like stars were revealed.

Her silk‑like black hair, light‑colored qipao, and devilishly curvy figure exuded an enchanting charm with every move.

"Cheng Miaomiao!"

She stepped out of the car and greeted a girl not far away.

"Ranqingmo, why are you just now coming?"

Cheng Miaomiao walked up and embraced Ranqingmo.

This is her best friend, Ranqingmo, dubbed the Fairy, a woman whose looks, strength, and status all make her feel ashamed.

In terms of appearance, Ranqingmo looks like a Chang'e fairy stepping out of the Palace of Eternal Cold, ethereal and standing proudly above the world.

In terms of status, she is the granddaughter of one of Huaguo's Four Martial Gods; even Cheng Miaomiao, heir of the strongest family in Pu Province, was instantly outclassed by Ranqingmo.

In terms of strength, Ranqingmo is also the most likely among the younger generation to become a Dragon Sovereign.

After all, her grandfather is a War God Realm strongman, whose power is only below the Dragon Sovereign; a daughter trained with his full effort is naturally enviably outstanding.

"Cheng Miaomiao, what happened over at the Anomaly Stone just now?"

After hugging Cheng Miaomiao, Ranqingmo suddenly asked.

Although she was far away just now, she also sensed the unusual anomaly fluctuations on the mountaintop.

Cheng Miaomiao took out her phone, and the screen displayed the picture of the recent anomaly.

The shooting location was still far from the mountaintop, so the phone could only see a vague silhouette.

"Ranqingmo, look—someone just activated the Anomaly Stone, causing such a terrifying anomaly; if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it."

Ranqingmo took the phone and examined it for a moment, "Do you know who activated the Anomaly Stone?"

Cheng Miaomiao shook her head, "I can't be sure; when I rushed over, the person had already left, but I can say for certain it wasn't someone from a prominent family."

She added, "You know the people of our family this generation are all mediocre; they could never trigger such a terrifying anomaly."

Ranqingmo covered her mouth and laughed, "You say that, but aren't you also from a prominent family? Your strength is absurdly high; at first I thought you were the one who triggered the anomaly."

"Oh dear, Ranqingmo, I'm aware of my own strength—just a little stronger than theirs..."

Cheng Miaomiao pinched her thumb and forefinger together, making a playful gesture.

Then the two linked arms and walked forward intimately; Ranqingmo suddenly asked, "Who do you think it was? There should be only a few people in the world capable of causing such an anomaly."

Cheng Miaomiao paused, thought for a moment, and said, "First, excluding you, Ranqingmo, the most likely suspects are Lu Jing from Mufu Wu University and Wu Tianlei from Taiwu Martial Hall!"

Lu Jing's strength is great; his talent is so high that I admire it, and he unprecedentedly pushed six Extreme Towers, so causing this anomaly is understandable. Moreover, I heard he's a multi‑system Talent Endowed who can command thunder and change the weather; perhaps the Anomaly Stone was never actually activated, and he was just using his talent to create a false front.

As for Wu Tianlei of Taiwu Martial Hall, his strength is also not weak; although his recorded power is less than Lu Jing's, he has a natural thunder body and can also alter the weather...

After hearing Cheng's analysis, Ranqingmo's eyes flashed with a strange hue, "So it looks like Lu Jing is the most likely?"

She often hears the name Lu Jing, and her grandfather also rates him highly.

"Yeah, most likely him; he's also my biggest headache opponent in this Martial Way Tournament..."

Cheng Miaomiao tapped her head, wincing at the upcoming Martial Way Tournament, "Ranqingmo, if you also entered, you'd surely take the crown easily; I'd rather face you in the finals than that Lu Jing."

"Why?"

Ranqingmo asked curiously.

"I heard Lu Jing's personality is fierce and ruthless; when he strikes, it's deadly and always draws blood!"

Cheng Miaomiao said she was scared, but her tone carried a hint of teasing.

"Don't worry, if he dares to hurt you, I'll make sure he can't get away."

Ranqingmo smiled, "Let's go, I'm tired of driving; accompany me to rest for a while."

Meanwhile.

Contestants' lodging area.

Tomorrow morning the Martial Way Tournament will officially begin; the lodging area is already packed with people, and all major factions are looking for their rooms.

The annual national competition's hype is unparalleled.

At this moment, because of the mountaintop anomaly, many people are discussing it.

A few from Mufu Wu University gathered, and Zhugeqing exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Whoa, what kind of monsters are in this Martial Way Tournament? Could a human cause such an anomaly?"

"They say the one who triggered the anomaly is probably our school's Lu Jing—true or not?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Kuang said, "It should be Lu Jing; he wasn't with us at the time, and the timing matched."

Zhugeqing looked toward the direction they had come from, saw no sign of Lu Jing, and said, "We'll know when Lu Jing returns; anyway, with him here, I'm not worried at all—Mufu Wu University will definitely take the crown!"

【Recommendation: switching source apps for reading novels is really useful, download it here and give it a try.】

"Same here, I'm just here to make up the numbers."

The others all echoed in agreement.

Just then!

A malicious voice rang out.

"Are you students of Mufu Wu University? Were you just discussing the recently popular Lu Jing?"

"That's right, who are you, and what does it have to do with you...?"

Zhugeqing turned his head, and his voice changed from confident to as thin as a mosquito's buzz...

Finally, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Because the person who had just spoken was a full two and a half meters tall, standing there like a steel tower forged of iron.

Appearing around thirty years old, with a thick full beard, his arms were several layers thicker than an average person's thigh.

He wore a blue Martial Way uniform, with the four large characters "Taiwu Martial Hall" embroidered on it.

At this moment, the man stared at them with a ferocious expression, emitting a chilling killing intent.

"Listen up, make Lu Jing wash his neck clean and wait for me, because in this Martial Way tournament, he might die here!"

After saying those harsh words, he laughed loudly a few times and strode away.

"Whoa, who is this guy? How can he be so arrogant!"

Zhugeqing came to their senses, realizing they had actually been scared witless by that person just now.
