Chapter 98 Strike

  "This test ball may have gone wrong!"

  The seven elders immediately stood out, and they did not forget the strong pure white color emitted by the crystal ball just now. So their first reaction was that the quality of the tested crystal ball was poor and there was a problem.

  The seven elders said in unison: "This test is extremely important. Given that the crystal ball emitted a pure white light during Ning Chong's previous test, I have decided on behalf of my family to replace the crystal ball and give Ning Chong another chance at the test!"

  When the seven elders spoke, although it meant that they would consume a second yuan magnetic crystal ball because of Ning Chong, which was worth throwing away one million gold coins, everyone did not have too many opinions. After all, just now when Ning Chong tested it, the crystal ball had indeed emitted a miraculous pure white light, which left a deep impression on everyone.

  Everyone was looking forward to it, wanting to see if Ning Chong would become the first person with "Heterogeneous Bone Constitution" that they had ever laid eyes on. Moreover, the Seventh Elder's character and prestige were deeply rooted in people's hearts, so no one opposed his decision.

  However, everyone may not object, but there is one person who will absolutely object!

  "Haha, Seventh Elder, I've always heard that you're fair and strict, but I didn't expect you to be a hypocrite who uses your power for personal gain!"

  In the midst of sarcastic and biting ridicule, Ning Xingbi walked up to the stage with his hands behind his back, strolling at a leisurely pace. In this world, there was no better news than Ning Chong being "five elements root bone talent", an opportunity that Ning Xingbi couldn't miss.

  The seven elders looked at Ning Xingbi angrily and asked: "Ning Xingbi, what do you mean by this?"

  "What does it mean?" Ning Xing's face turned cold, "Ning Chong is clearly a waste, whether in the past tests or now, they have all proven this point! You want to use public power for private gain and give this waste another so-called second chance? A yuan magnetic crystal ball is worth millions of gold coins, what virtue does this waste have to be able to consume a second yuan magnetic crystal ball?! Humph! As the head of the Ning family, I resolutely oppose such things that harm the interests of the family!"

  The seven elders let out a loud hum of anger, their faces filled with indignation.

  Although Ning Xingbi was aggressive, his words were reasonable and well-founded. The Seventh Elder sighed and reluctantly gave in, saying seriously: "In that case, I will bear the cost of this second test! Are you satisfied now, Ning Xingbi?"

  "You..."

  Ning Xing's face changed color, and he really didn't expect Seventh Elder to be so resolute.

  It's worth noting that although the Ning family's elder status is prestigious, their personal wealth won't be too great. The elders have a stipend from the family and don't worry about money, so once they have some, they'll invest it in cultivation resources, leaving them with not much leftover wealth.

  Relatively speaking, Qi Changlao is an elder who has his family in mind and always puts the interests of his family first. He is highly respected in the Ning family and is also frugal, starting from himself to save resources for the family.

  Therefore, the family property of the seven elders is relatively rich among the many elders.

  But even so, once the cost of the magnetic crystal ball worth hundreds of millions of yuan is borne, more than half of the seven elders' family property will be consumed.

  Ning didn't expect that the Seventh Elder would be willing to pay such a great price for Ning Chong, this waste. This made him speechless at the same time, and he couldn't find an excuse to block the Seventh Elder's decision either. He could only scowl and let out a low growl before retreating to the side.

  Ning Chong was extremely grateful for Qi Chang's treatment of him. Looking at Qi Chang, he opened his mouth and said: "Qi Chang..."

  But then the seven elders waved their hands and said with certainty: "Ning Chong, don't worry about testing, it's just a Yuan Magnetic Crystal Ball, I can still afford it! If you feel uneasy, work hard to cultivate in the future and repay your family well, that will be the greatest repayment to me! Haha!"

  It's come to this point, Ning Chong didn't know what else to say, so he just nodded his head and respectfully said: "Yes!"

  After the seven elders made their decision, a new yuan magnetic crystal ball was carefully brought to the stage by an attendant and placed on the wooden table.

  Ning Chong was about to take his second test, and the atmosphere had become somewhat solemn. The Seventh Elder looked at Ning Chong's serious face and deliberately walked forward, patted Ning Chong's shoulder, and encouraged him: "Kid, don't be nervous, just focus on the test."

  Ning Chong smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

  As Ning Chong once again grasped the crystal ball in his palm, the atmosphere on the square began to feel somewhat oppressive. Everyone held their breath, not daring to let out a single gasp, and stretched their necks to gaze at the result of the test once more.

  However, Heaven still didn't bless Ning Chong, and this time the result was even more straightforward. The crystal ball in Ning Chong's hand directly emitted a strong five-colored light, once again proving that Ning Chong's innate talent was "Five Elements Root Bone".

  In an instant, Ning Chong's mind clearly knew what this meant for him.

  As the inferior root bone quality of Wuxiu, how inferior is it? Simply put, as long as you are human, you will have a root bone quality, and at least it is the five-line root bone.

  That is to say, the five-line root bone is actually a common root bone quality that ordinary people have. Therefore, the five-line root bone is also called "common root bone" or "waste root bone".

  The cultivation speed of the Five Elements Root Bone is too slow, and the martial path is even more difficult. In the history of martial arts, almost no one with the Five Elements Root Bone has been able to leave a name or achievements.

  Because of this, although the God Martial Continent is full of martial arts, almost everyone practices martial arts, but once it is confirmed that a martial artist has a Five Elements root bone, they will immediately give up on martial arts and change their profession to farming or business, living an ordinary life, rather than persisting in the hopeless path of martial arts.

  It can be imagined how great a blow this test result has dealt to Ning Chong!

  Ning Chong's hand trembled, and with a "crack" sound, the crystal ball used for testing fell to the ground, shattering into powder. For a moment, his mind went blank.

  As the crystal ball shattered, the dull atmosphere was quickly broken. Ning Xingbi was the first to burst out laughing, disregarding etiquette and occasion. His several confidants also timely made cold remarks, gloating over the misfortune, and sarcastically jeered:

  "Haha! I thought I had really become a genius or something? Turns out I'm still the same useless person as before!"

  "Hey, I told you he's no good, after all, he's a waste of space. See, I was right!"

  "Trash is trash! The test results from back then have already proven it, what can you expect him to achieve now!"

  "Look! Many people have said that this good-for-nothing is just lucky, having taken some kind of magical medicine to gain his current strength. But the truth is, he's always been a waste! He was in the past, he is now, and he will be in the future!"
