Chapter Ninety-Five: Robbery

  Ning Chong rose from obscurity, then shocked the world with a single move, and finally, as a dark horse, he defeated Ning Fan Yu in one move, and then killed a strong warrior of the 8th stage of martial arts with a single sword.

  The reaction of the onlookers was already intense enough, but compared to the elders on the stage who were staring at Ning Chong with eyes that seemed to be burning with hunger, like wolves eyeing a large piece of fat meat, it seemed pale in comparison.

  It was as if there were too many competitors, and the various elders all looked at each other in dismay, none of them speaking. After a moment, finally one thin elder suddenly darted forward, being the first to rush down from the rostrum, heading straight for Ning.

  With the elder taking the lead, how could the other elders be willing to fall behind? Immediately, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and displayed their magical powers. They rushed towards Ning with the fastest speed, fearing that if they were half a step late, they would miss the opportunity to recruit a super genius as their disciple.

  "Haha! Ning Chong, become my disciple! I see you're skilled with your fists. The 'Golden Fury Fist' I've been practicing is extremely similar to your punching technique, it's definitely the most suitable martial art for you!"

  "Bullshit! Ning Chong is best at using a sword! Didn't you see how he took down Ning Fan Yu and Li Yi with just one move? Haha, Ning Chong, come learn swordsmanship from me! Without exaggeration, as long as you follow me to learn swordsmanship, within a few years, you'll definitely become the number one or two swordsman in Qian Nan!"

  "Hum! You guys are really shameless! Who was it that loudly claimed Ning Fan would definitely win before the finals?"

  "You damn fool! Haven't you ever said anything like this before?"

  "Come on in, don't mind them! As long as you become my disciple, I guarantee that the daily supply of elixirs will never be cut off! I'll make sure you can eat elixirs as easily as eating sugar beans!"

  ……

  A swarm of elders rushed forward, each one desperately promoting themselves and suppressing their opponents in front of Ning. As time went on, the commotion grew more intense, the noise more chaotic, until several elders were even wrestling with each other. The scene was utterly unbecoming of the Ning family's elders - it would have been more fitting for street vendors fighting over positions and customers.

  The usually serious Seventh Elder's face turned black with rage. The Seventh Elder took a few steps forward and let out a loud roar: "All of you, stop! Do any of you still look like the head of your families? The family competition is not over yet, there are still the inner gate ceremony and the talent test to come, all of you stop right now! After these are finished, Ning Chong can choose who he wants to be his master, it's up to your own abilities!"

  The seven elders were very majestic and authoritative in the Ning family, after a loud roar, the crowd of elders immediately quieted down, each looking at each other with discontent, but no longer speaking.

  The various scenes of the elders being cold and then hot in front of Ning Chong only made him laugh and cry.

  On the other hand, Wang Changlao also shook his head. However, in his heart, he could understand the eagerness of these elders. After all, it was not easy to take in a good disciple. If he hadn't already taken Ning Mofeng as an apprentice, he might have even gone forward to fight for Ning Chong's favor now.

  On the host's platform, surrounded by several confidants, Ning Xingbi sat in an armchair and crushed the teacup in his hand into powder again. His face was constantly rolling with dark energy, and his muscles were twitching violently, all of which showed that he was furious and uneasy inside, with anger burning continuously. However, he had no way out now, and could only sit quietly here, watching Ning Chong's various victories, seething with anger alone.

  The outer gate competition has officially ended, and the seven elders continued to host it, announcing the results of the competition. Ning Chong won first place, along with Ning Mo Feng and three others, who all entered the inner door of the family together.

  The seven elders awarded the prize for this big competition. Ning Chong, who came in first, received a precious "Dragon and Tiger Pill".

  Then, the seven elders gave Ning Chong and others the emblem of inner disciples, from then on, this year's Ning family outer disciple competition officially came to an end.

  However, people did not disperse because there was another grand event next - the talent test for new inner disciples.

  The people of the Ning family, when young, will undergo a simple test to determine their potential and talent. However, this simple test is not always decisive, as there have been cases in the history of the Ning family where those who were average in their youth later became martial arts prodigies.

  Of course, Ning Chong's performance was so poor back then and rarely seen, and there is no successful comeback example. Therefore, it can only be said that Ning Chong's strong performance now has truly created a miracle.

  The young masters of the Ning family, if they can enter the inner door of the family and become inner disciples, will undergo another test of their innate talent. This test is extremely rigorous and precise, and the final result often determines a person's future potential and development. In the history of the family, those who failed to pass this new inner disciple testing phase never rose to prominence or became famous.

  This time's new inner door disciple talent test is extremely important for Ning Chong and others, directly related to their potential qualifications and what position they will be in among the inner door disciples after entering the inner door.

  At this time, the people in the field were naturally very interested in Ning Chong, and they all wanted to see what kind of talent Ning Chong had.

  At a young age, Ning Chong underwent a simple test and was said to have achieved the worst results in the Ning family's innate talent test for nearly a hundred years. Afterwards, Ning Chong indeed sank into obscurity, with low martial arts talent, becoming a laughing stock on the path of martial arts.

  However, Ning Chong has been quietly making a move for half a year, and suddenly, like a thunderbolt on a clear day, he burst onto the scene with great momentum, rising to power and taking first place in the Ning family's outer house competition, shocking everyone! Undoubtedly, this made people even more curious about Ning Chong's innate talent, and even more interested.

  Generally speaking, people think that Ning Chong's innate talent should not be too good, after all, there are the results of that year's test. However, people also feel that the result of that test may not be reliable, Ning Chong may not have a very good martial arts talent, but it will definitely not be too bad, otherwise it would be hard to explain why he was able to suddenly rise to fame in just under half a year.

  However, the specific martial arts talent of Ning Chong can only be determined by the results of this precise test. People are eagerly waiting with bated breath, passionately discussing:

  "What do you think of Ning Chong's innate talent? I think Ning Chong's innate talent won't be too good, but it also won't be too bad, should be around mid-to-lower level!"

  "Middle to lower level? It's too low, it should be at least middle to upper! Otherwise, how could he have risen so strongly in the past six months?"

  "It's said that Ning Chong's sudden rise to fame over the past half year is due to his consumption of some heavenly treasure. However, even if that were true, his innate talent should be at a mid-tier level, or else he wouldn't have such an overwhelming performance, actually defeating Ning Fangyu and obtaining first place in the Outer Sect's Grand Competition!"
