C689 One Arm
One arm.
There were only ten days left before the ranking competition began. All the inner circle disciples of Cloud Rising Sect had returned to the sect one after another. Some of them came back after receiving the news, while some of them were brought back by the elder in green.
"Eh? Isn't that Niu Dazhuang?"
"It's him! Quickly inform them that Crazy Bull has returned!"
"I wonder whose trouble he is looking for this time!"
When the group of outer circle disciples saw Niu Dazhuang's figure, their faces were filled with fear. It was imaginable how deep the shadow that Niu Dazhuang had cast on them during that period of time was.
Niu Dazhuang glanced at them with a smile on his face. Occasionally, he would greet the servants he was familiar with. Then, under their envious gazes, he knocked on the door of the courtyard.
With a creak, the door opened and a small golden head popped out. Ning Jin looked at Niu Dazhuang and frowned, "Who are you?"
"Kid, I came to find my master. Who are you?"
Niu Dazhuang asked curiously.
"Ning Jin, let him in."
Ning Qi's voice came from the courtyard.
Niu Dazhuang's eyes showed a trace of joy. He pushed open the door and entered. His rough method almost knocked Ning Jin to the ground.
"Master."
Niu Dazhuang stood in front of Ning Qi once again, his face full of excitement.
"Eh? A First Star Dou Sovereign? Not bad."
Ning Qi nodded his head in satisfaction.
After a pause, Ning Qi asked curiously, "Did you come back because you heard that the qualifiers competition is about to start?"
Niu Dazhuang asked curiously, "The qualifiers competition? Didn't Master tell me to come back after I got into the top 100 of the Dragon Ranking? I won against Faang Mo, so I will be ranked 100th in the next stage of the Dragon Ranking."
Did I ever say that? It seems to be...
A strange expression appeared on Ning Qi's face. "You defeated Faang Mo?"
"Yes."
Niu Dazhuang nodded.
"Faang Mo is a bit miserable, but it's good that he's back. Let's go. I'll take you somewhere."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
In the inner sect.
Qing Yi Palace.
The nine azure-clothed elders sat on the armchair in unison. They were discussing the candidates for the ranking competition. As each sect was only allowed to send ten people to participate, the candidates were extremely important.
Among the nine people, one of them was Raging Waves. However, at this moment, he was among the nine azure-clothed elders. His status was not conspicuous because he was only a one star Dou Zun. Among the other eight people, three of them were the same as him. The other four were two star Battle Sovereign, the one sitting in the main seat. He was a three star Dou Zun, Deng Tong.
Besides these nine green robed elders, the remaining green robed elders were all stronger than them. Their talent was also better than theirs, and all of them had a chance of breaking through to the Battle Saint. Therefore, they basically didn't stay in the sect during normal days, and they didn't pay any attention to these ordinary things. Instead, they were looking for opportunities to break through outside. It was rare for them to come back even after dozens of years.
After discussing for a long time, the nine of them finally decided on ten spots. All of them were in the top ten of the inner sect disciples, and their cultivations were respectively in the third stage of life and death to the seventh stage of life and death. As for the eighth and ninth stage of life and death, none of the inner circle disciples in the Cloud Rising Sect had broken through to this stage yet. It was enough to prove that there was a gap in the inheritance of the Cloud Rising Sect. Many experts who had broken through to the eighth and ninth stage had died from qi deviation.
"The candidate is decided..."
Deng Tong saw that no one had any objections and nodded his head lightly.
At this moment, two figures walked in from the outside of the hall, one in front and one behind. Everyone immediately looked at them.
"Ning Qi?"
A trace of killing intent flashed across Raging Waves' eyes.
The remaining green robed elders looked at Ning Qi with interest. They had long heard of Ning Qi's name, but they had never interacted with him before.
As for Niu Dazhuang behind Ning Qi, he was ignored by everyone because he was only a one star Dou Huang.
Deng Tong looked at Ning Qi with a faint smile and said, "Elite Disciple Ning, what brings you here?"
If Ning Qi was just an ordinary Heavenly Prodigy, Deng Tong might not have spoken to Ning Qi. But Ning Qi had another identity, and that was Meng Qingling's Elite Disciple. The status of a true disciple could already be compared to the Green Robed Elder. Therefore, Deng Tong showed an attitude of equal treatment.
"Elder Deng Tong, elder Tian, elder Fang, elder Gu... Elder Nu."
Ning Qi greeted everyone with a smile. He saw how polite Ning Qi was. He didn't seem to be arrogant because he had become the true disciple of the sect and killed Tuoba Shenjian. Apart from the raging waves, the other elders present were also furious. Everyone had a good impression of Ning Qi.
After a pause, Ning Qi went straight to the point. "Elder Deng Tong, I am here today to ask for two spots in the ranking competition."
The spots for the qualifiers competition?
All the elders had puzzled looks on their faces. Deng Tong frowned and said, "Elite Disciple Ning, you want to participate in the competition personally? But you are already a true disciple. According to the rules, it is not allowed."
Ning Qi smiled and shook his head. He said, "It is not that I want to participate in the competition myself."
"Who is that?"
Deng Tong asked curiously.
"My Demonic Beast and... my disciple."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
His Demonic Beast and his disciple?
A strange expression appeared on the faces of all the elders. They glanced at Niu Dazhuang. Could this guy be Ning Qi's disciple?
"No, absolutely not!"
Raging Waves shouted in a low voice.
"Oh? Elder Raging Waves, why?"
Ning Qi looked at the furious wave and said with a faint smile.
" Let's not talk about the fact that our Cloud Rising Sect won't send a Demonic Beast to participate in the ranking competition. Let's just talk about your disciple. Is it him? How can a mere one star Dou Huang participate in the ranking competition? "
Angry Waves said in a cold voice.
"Whether or not you can participate in the competition is not up to you to decide."
A look of disdain appeared at the corner of Ning Qi's mouth. He cast a glance at Wild Waves and then looked at Deng Tong. He knew that Deng Tong was the only one who could make the decision here.
If Meng Qingling was in the sect, he would directly ask Meng Qingling for these two spots.0
A trace of hesitation appeared on Deng Tong's face, "There has never been a reason for the Human Clan to send their Demonic Beasts to participate. Your disciple can do it. How about this, I will give you a spot. Core disciple Ning, are you satisfied?"
One spot...
Ning Qi's brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed. He cupped his hands towards Deng Tong with a smile and said, "That's it, then. Thank you, Elder Deng Tong! "
"Elder Deng, please think twice about this matter. If our Cloud Rising Sect is ranked last because of this kid, won't we become the laughing stock of everyone in the world?"
Raging Waves looked at Deng Tong coldly.
"There's no need to discuss this matter anymore. Let's do it this way. In any case, this isn't the first time that our Cloud Rising Sect is ranked last."
Deng Tong said with a faint smile.
Currently, Ning Qi's status in his heart was higher than that of Wild Waves. He would naturally be happy to owe Ning Qi a favor. No matter what Wild Waves said, this outcome wouldn't change.
Ning Qi cupped his hands at Deng Tong once more, then turned around and left. Seeing this, Wild Waves couldn't help but shout, "Ning Qi, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Ning Qi's footsteps paused slightly, then he looked at Wild Waves and said, "Elder Wild Waves, what kind of bet do you want to make with me?"
"I bet that your disciple won't make it to the third round!"
Originally, Raging Waves wanted to say that he wouldn't make it to the second round, but he still kept a bit of caution and said that the third round would be safer this way.
"En, what is your bet?"
Ning Qi said with a faint smile.
"An arm."
All the elders revealed a look of shock. They knew that there was some enmity between the two of them, but they never thought that he would propose a bet of an arm.
"Alright, just an arm."
Ning Qi smiled faintly and brought Niu Dazhuang to Qing Yi Palace.
