Billionaire God of War novel (Jiang Ning) novel Chapter 2021

They weren't simply fighting to show off their abilities to these visitors to their sect. The fights were meant for Liu Chuandao and the elders in the sect too.

The second round began.

The mood in the field had transformed.

The participants who had been kicked out during the first round had pulled themselves together and were ready to observe the fights in the second round.

There was no question that the match that everyone was most looking forward to was Liu Qing's.

Two burly fighters were stuck in an intense fight in the arena now. The sounds of fists and legs striking flesh resounded in the air.

"They're really good," Liu Qing blurted out after staring for a long moment. "I never paid much attention to these fights. Today is the first time I realized something. They must train so much harder than I do."

She might be more gifted than them but

save the hours that she had put into training recently, she could hardly compare with them when it came to the extent of effort that they had invested in bettering themselves.

She had been convinced before this that everyone was targeting her. But Liu Chuandao hadn't said anything and kept rebuking her for not working hard enough.

It seemed that he had been speaking the truth.

"Sometimes, hard work can triumph talent," said Jiang Ning. "It's going to be tough, of course. Only one in a million will succeed."

"But hard work can change many things. At least, you don't see everyone training so hard now that all they can count on is sheer talent to get ahead of their fellow disciples in the sect."

Liu Qing replayed Jiang Ning's words repeatedly in her head. Jiang Ning might appear young, but he seemed to have undergone a lot in life. The things that he said always seemed to make so much sense. Liu Qing couldn't help but become increasingly convinced of that.

She wanted to ask Jiang Ning how old he truly was. Perhaps he simply looked younger than his actual age. Perhaps he was in his fifties or his sixties.

How could he be so wise otherwise?

"Can you surpass your limits with sheer hard work?" Liu Qing asked.

"There's usually always room for more hard work. It's usually too soon to count on sheer talent to get ahead of your opponents." Jiang Ning pointed at the two fighters in the arena. "They display equal talent and have put in a similar degree of effort in their training. However, there are still some differences that distinguish them."
