It was the simplest and most straightforward manner of assessing one's ability.
The foundational examination was extremely simple. Most people could pass it. But an actual match required actual fighting and actual skill. One also required luck.
The opponents that Liu Qing had been paired with previously had all been extremely powerful. She had suffered a thorough defeat every time.
She had protested to Liu Chuandao previously. He had known that they had targeted her and allocated her overpowering opponents, but he had never said a word about that. All he had done had been to rebuke her for not working hard enough and for not being strong enough.
Now, Liu Qing finally understood some of the reason behind her father's actions.
BAM!
The first match ended swiftly.
The outcome of the match was revealed within a few exchanges after the two fighters had gotten into the arena.
The crowd gasped. Their eyes were filled adoration and envy as they stared at the person in the arena.
"Senior Luo is simply too powerful. He didn't have to take this test at all."
"That's right! Senior Luo and his fellow disciples have been guaranteed a place in the Portico. They're participating in the test so that the visitors from outside our sect can see what the Inner Court is made of!"
"But the rest of the participants won't stand a chance against them. What a pity!"
Everyone around Liu Qing were in heated discussions. She merely frowned but didn't seem affected at all.
She stared fixedly at the man in the arena. She knew that she was going to have to fight him and his fellow disciples sooner or later.
She was going to defeat them all!
Jiang Ning sat next to Liu Qing. There was no hint of emotion on his face. He had remained composed since the test had started. It was as if he was the audience to a group of children fooling around with one another.
He didn't pay any attention to Liu Qing.
He took a look at Luo Heng in the arena and shook his head.
"Is this all that the people inside the mountain have got to show for themselves?"
Jiang Ning had previously guessed that the fighters inside the mountain should be relatively powerful. The cemetery caretaker had told him that there were many powerful and skilled fighters residing within the mountain and that the extent of their fighting prowess was unimaginable.
It was clear that these disciples were of a different league from those powerful fighters that the caretaker had referred to.
