Jiang Ning had done all that he could.
He couldn't take the test on Liu Qing's behalf. But of course, if he did that, no test would pose a challenge to him.
He was born to be a champion.
"I can,” Liu Qing said instinctively and nodded. "There's no question about it!"
Time sped by.
It was time to take the test.
Except for a subtle hint of restraint coloring the look on her face, Liu Qing seemed like her usual self.
But Jiang Ning knew that she had been holding her emotions back for a very long time. All she needed now was an outlet.
The thunderous pounding of the war drums filled the field. Tension filled the air instantly.
Members from the various factions had arrived in troves.
Numerous disciples from the Inner Court, the Outer Court and the Portico had come to help their elders survey and pick out gifted participants.
This was their opportunity to identify potential talents. It was also the Inner Court disciples' chance of rising to the next level. Everyone treasured this opportunity dearly.
Liu Chuandao had arrived!
The crowd got excitedly instantly. Everyone started cheering for the sect leader.
He raised his hand, gesturing for the crowd to calm down, then beckoned to Zhang Heng. The latter approached him immediately.
"We should start soon."
"Understood," replied Zhang Heng.
As he turned away, he gave the person seated next to Liu Chuandao a look. The other man understood what he was trying to tell him instantly and nodded.
Everyone sat down.
Liu Chuandao eyed the disciples on the field. They were buzzing with excitement. He seemed composed and it was hard to tell what he was feeling or thinking.
He was actually secretly sighing.
Every year was just getting worse.
Few young people chose to join Qingshan Sect nowadays. Year after year, the few who had done so had shown less talent than the previous batch.
The current batch of Portico disciples was no match for the Portico disciples from other sects.
