Keep on winning.

That had been what Jiang Ning had asked of Liu Qing.

Honestly though, he shouldn't need to ask her of anything. This was simply the natural outcome of her diligent training, so it was something that should happen.

Liu Qing nodded.

"I know."

Her reply was succinct. She looked up and glanced at Liu Chuandao. There was something still lodged in her chest.

She wasn't interested in proving how amazing she was. All she wanted was to send a message to everyone. She was going to claim everything that she had lost with her own hands.

The test continued.

The next few matches that followed were intense fights with opponents who were equally matched. But the crowd's attention had fallen on Liu Qing instead.

They weren't looking forward to her winning. They just wanted to know how long it would take for her to lose a fight.

They didn't believe that she was truly that powerful. They were convinced that Liu Fang had gone easy on her.

Liu Qing had lost terribly during the previous test. Yet this round, she had defeated Liu Fang with ease.

No one would believe that Liu Fang hadn't gone easy on her.

Liu Qing didn't care. She didn't pay any attention to the crowd. She was going to stay true to herself. She didn't need to care about what other people thought of her. "Luo Heng has won!" Mr He declared loudly.

"Senior Luo is amazing! He's going to be number one this time. There's no doubt about it."

"He was first the last time. Senior Chen trails only slightly behind him."

"The three of them are going to win the top three places. Senior Luo is going to take the top place. It's going to be a piece of cake for him. Who cares about the other participants?" Everyone began to discuss fervently. Their faces were filled with excessive admiration.

They desperately wished that Luo Heng would overhear their loud praises. If he were pleased by them, he might share a few tips with them. That would be a blessing indeed. Luo Heng didn't seem to care though. He had grown used to such flattery.

He was a prodigy. He had been showered with attention and praises since he had been a child.

He didn't care for the praises that the crowd was singing him at all.

Luo Heng left the arena without sparing a glance at his opponent. He couldn't be bothered with the latter at all. He wouldn't have participated in the test if Zhang Heng hadn't told him to. Luo Heng saw Zhang Heng beckoning him over and headed towards Zhang Heng immediately.

"Mr Zhang," Luo Heng greeted Zhang Heng politely.

"Luo Heng, you're the best disciple

that I have. was right in pinning my hopes on you," said Zhang Heng with a smile. "The Inner Court is counting on you to bring us glory today. Our guests are watching, so make the sect proud."

"Yes, I understand."

"No, you don't," Zhang Heng laughed. His eyes landed on Liu Qing, then returned to Luo Heng. Luo Heng appeared a little stumped. "I need you to do something." "What is it?" "I want you to..."

Zhang Heng's voice fell to a hushed tone as he whispered in Luo Heng's ear. A conflicted look appeared on Luo Heng's face.

"But..."

"Don't worry. Make sure you do a

good job. You'll be rewarded

handsomely for it. The rewards that you'll receive are beyond your imagination." Zhang Heng smiled, them patted Luo Heng on his

shoulder. "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Yes, I understand." Luo Heng nodded immediately.

Zhang Heng had told the three of them to sign up for the test, but he had not given any specific instruction to the other two disciples because he had pinned his hopes on Luo Heng. Luo Heng wasn't going to let him down. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Luo Heng walked away briskly.

Zhang Heng narrowed his eyes as he stared at Liu Qing and Jiang Ning. He turned his gaze fully towards Jiang Ning in the end. A streak of viciousness flashed across his eyes.

If he didn't do something, how would he discover the true extent of Jiang Ning's abilities?

In the arena, Mr He smiled after he glanced at the list of names in his hand. "Everyone's performance has been exemplary. You've exceeded our expectations."

"But this isn't going to do. We have not yet shown the true strength of the Qingshan Sect."

"You're all prodigies of the Qingshan Sect. You're the sect's future. Show us the true extent of your capabilities."

"We will proceed to the next round now!"

Mr He's voice boomed thunderously and reverberated across the field.
