47: Wang Ba and Kun Kun compete

"Hmph, I just can't stand your smug face, what about it?" the Old Thing replied, displeased.

"Alright, alright, Old Thing, just open your eyes and see how my son surpasses your trashy Kun Kun." The Middle-aged Man said no more, turning his gaze to the talent testing ladder.

At this moment, on the talent testing ladder.

Over a hundred million youths from the Twelve Provinces were striving to climb.

Among them, a young man in golden patterned luxurious robes was the fastest.

In less than a moment, he had ascended three hundred steps, ranking first.

"Hiss, this child's talent is so strong, how can he be so fast?"

"Indeed, he's already climbed three hundred steps in such a short time, truly terrifying."

Outside the talent testing ladder.

The elders of cultivators from various provinces, who were watching, all exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha, this is my son, Wang Ba! Didn't I say my son has the potential of a Great Emperor?" The Middle-aged Man burst into laughter.

He even didn't forget to give the Old Thing next to him a provocative look.

Meaning.

See? My son, Wang Ba, is stronger than your trashy Kun Kun.

"Hiss, so he is your son, Young Master Wang Ba, congratulations, congratulations."

"Young Master Wang Ba is so swift, he is bound to become a Direct Disciple of the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect. From now on, Patriarch Wang, you must take good care of us."

The cultivators next to the Middle-aged Man heard his smug laughter.

They quickly came over to flatter him and build connections.

"Haha, it's nothing. Once my son becomes a Direct Disciple of the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect, I will definitely have him take good care of you all."

The Middle-aged Man was all smiles, lost in a sea of flattery.

"Boy, don't get too smug. My grandson Kun Kun is not to be trifled with," the Old Thing huffed, then turned to look at the talent testing ladder.

Soon, a young man in blue robes surpassed Wang Ba, taking the first place.

"Hiss, Wang Ba has been surpassed. Whose child is this?"

"This recruitment of disciples by Qingtian Sect truly has hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

Everyone exclaimed again.

"Damn it, he actually surpassed my son, Wang Ba!"

The Middle-aged Man stared at the young man who surpassed Wang Ba, wishing he could kill him with his eyes.

"Boy, why aren't you smug anymore? Let me tell you, the one who surpassed your son Wang Ba is my precious grandson, Kun Kun," the Old Thing said triumphantly from the side.

"Old Thing, don't get smug either. My son Wang Ba hasn't used his full strength yet. Just open your dog eyes and wait," the Middle-aged Man retorted angrily.

"Hmph, wait then, let's see how my precious grandson tramples your turtle son underfoot," the Old Thing snorted, continuing to watch the situation on the field.

On the talent testing ladder.

Wang Ba and Kun Kun competed with each other.

They chased each other, panting, climbing to over five hundred steps.

Meanwhile, Feng Xiaoxiao and Wu Yan also began to exert themselves.

The reason they hadn't used their full strength earlier was to adapt to the power of the talent testing ladder.

To adjust their state to the optimal.

They wouldn't recklessly use their strength just to show off.

Soon, with the sprint of the two.

They surpassed Wang Ba and Kun Kun, reaching an astonishing seven hundred steps.

"Hiss, two people have reached seven hundred steps. They can already be considered Outer Sect Disciples of Qingtian Sect."

"As long as they climb another hundred steps, they can become Inner Sect Disciples. These two are truly terrifying."

The sprint of Wu Yan and Feng Xiaoxiao.

Once again caused the onlookers to exclaim in surprise.

"Ba'er, climb faster, don't let others steal your thunder, you have the potential of a Great Emperor!" The Middle-aged Man was anxious.

Just now, only the young man named Kun Kun was above Wang Ba.

Now, two more suddenly appeared, and he really couldn't take it.

"Brother Kun, let's not compete anymore. Let's just climb the ladder properly, lest we can't even enter the Outer Sect of Qingtian Sect, that would be a huge disgrace," Wang Ba said, panting, to Kun Kun on the steps above him on the talent testing ladder.

In order to compete with Kun Kun, he had used brute force to sprint where he should have used skill.

Now both of them were somewhat exhausted.

If this continued, they really wouldn't even be able to enter the Outer Sect of Qingtian Sect.

"Brother Wang Ba, you have a point. Then we won't fight anymore," Kun Kun replied, also panting.

"Either call me Brother Wang, or call me Brother Ba, but don't combine the two words, alright?" Hearing Kun Kun call him Brother Wang Ba, Wang Ba immediately exploded in anger.

His competition with Kun Kun was because of this matter.

At that time, Kun Kun climbed to the steps below him, and out of consideration that they might become fellow disciples in the future.

He and Kun Kun introduced themselves to each other.

He didn't know if this kid was intentional or unintentional.

Calling him Brother Wang Ba again and again made him furious, which was why he tried to suppress his arrogance by climbing the ladder.

"Okay, Brother Wang Ba," Kun Kun said indifferently.

"You..." Wang Ba's face turned purple with anger.

However, he didn't get angry again, but adjusted his state and slowly climbed up the steps.

Now his goal was to enter Qingtian Sect.

He would deal with Kun Kun's foul mouth later, after entering Qingtian Sect.

"Brother Wang Ba, wait for me!" Seeing Wang Ba ignore him, Kun Kun chased after him, shouting.

...

Time passed minute by minute.

The test on the talent testing ladder was nearing its end.

Countless young men and women stopped below the six hundredth step.

And on the six hundredth step, there were only a few thousand scattered people.

On the seven hundred thirty-sixth step.

Wang Ba spat out fresh blood, looking at the steps above with a face full of unwillingness.

As long as he climbed to the eight hundredth step, he could become an Inner Sect Disciple of Qingtian Sect.

But now, it was incredibly difficult for him to even move a finger.

Let alone climb dozens more steps.

"After all, I'm stopping here. Is this my talent? Didn't my father say I had the potential of a Great Emperor?" Wang Ba murmured softly.

Although he had successfully entered the ranks of Qingtian Sect's Outer Sect Disciples.

But everyone knew that a single word difference between Inner Sect and Outer Sect meant a world of difference in future treatment.

"Brother Wang Ba, don't be discouraged. Am I not also an Outer Sect Disciple? You won't be lonely with me accompanying you," Kun Kun said, comforting him from a few steps below Wang Ba.

"Get the hell out of here!" Wang Ba cursed furiously.

If not for competing with this guy earlier, he might have become an Inner Sect Disciple of Qingtian Sect.

Now he was already thinking about how to deal with this foul-mouthed Kun Kun later.

On the steps above nine hundred.

Wu Yan and Feng Xiaoxiao were also slumped on the ground like a pile of mud.

"Impossible, impossible! I, with my Heavenly Phoenix Body, can't even become a Direct Disciple of the Sect Master. It's too shameful."

Feng Xiaoxiao stood up, wanting to climb forcefully.

But in the end, her strength failed her, and she slumped back to the ground.

With her talent, she could only reach over nine hundred steps, with no hope of reaching a thousand.
