Chapter 166: Fighting for the Position of Team Leader In the arena. "Come here to get your identity token!" After hearing the words spoken by the man conducting the assessment again, Lu Renyao immediately realized that he was not hallucinating. But I have really passed the assessment. "How could this happen? We haven't even started fighting yet, so why is the assessment over and everyone passed?" Lu Renyao immediately asked the question that was in his mind. "Who told you that you have to fight to pass the test? If there are not ten people on the ring to fight, the people on the ring will automatically pass the test." The man glanced at him and said, "This is also the rule. Do you understand?" When Lu Renyao noticed the man's gaze on him, his heart suddenly froze. He bowed respectfully: "I understand!" "Sensible!" The man nodded slightly with a smile on his face. I couldn't help but secretly give myself a thumbs up for my ability to respond to emergencies.

What rules? Isn't it me who has the final say? How could they let a little guy like you ruin everything for two good assistants of the eighth level in martial arts? If we really let you, little guy, knock down the ring, the rules are here, and it will be quite difficult to absorb you back into the Inspection Office. The man in charge of the assessment secretly complained in his heart. the other side. "Can it be like this?" When Zhou Xing heard those words, he murmured to himself and a look of great joy appeared on his face. The worry in his heart was suddenly swept away at this moment. Since the man presiding over the test has already spoken, it means that the test is settled and there will be no changes. "Junior Brother Jiang Ning, it seems that we are very lucky!" Zhou Xing came back to his senses, his face full of excitement, no longer as indifferent as before. After months of preparation, the dust has finally settled and the fish has made it to the dragon gate. The people and the officials are two completely different classes. Even if he became the most ordinary inspector in the inspection office, he would still be an official of the ninth rank. An official is an official, even if he is of the ninth rank, he is still an official. Not to mention that the Inspectorate holds the power of life and death. This kind of powerful and violent organization is naturally superior to others. Even if their official positions were the same, that of a ninth-rank constable, they were naturally inferior to the patrol guards who had greater power. Moreover, after taking this step, he will be eligible to compete for the position of team leader. Once he wins the position of team leader, not only will he be promoted to the ninth rank, but he will also have a ninth rank martial arts inspection team under his command. With this kind of status, he is a real big shot, enough to bring the Zhou family to a new height. Thinking of all these things, how could Zhou Xing not be extremely excited? How could he suppress the waves in his heart? at the same time.

When Jiang Ning heard Zhou Xing's words that he was very lucky, he smiled without commenting. "What Senior Brother Zhou Xing said makes sense!" "You two are quite lucky!" Lu Renyao said with a smile. Then he added: "You will know later that joining me is a truly wise choice. If you two want to join my team, my door is still open to you." "Especially you!" Lu Renyao's eyes were fixed on Jiang Ning, and he continued, "Jiang Ning! I admire you very much! At your age, you can reach the eighth level of martial arts in Luoshui County! If you join me, we can become friends, comrades-in-arms, and even brothers!" After saying this, he didn't wait for Jiang Ning to reply, but turned to look at the man who was conducting the assessment. "Sir, I'm here to collect my identity token!" "Take it!" The man threw the black token that he had prepared long ago, and it flew into Lu Renyao's hands. Then he added: "Tomorrow morning, report to the Inspection Office and replace your temporary identity token with a formal one!" "Yes, sir!" Lu Renyao saluted respectfully. He did not dare to act rashly towards the man in front of him who was conducting the assessment. He also didn't dare to treat this man as casually as He Jinyun did. Because according to his understanding, this person is one of the four commanders of the Inspection Office. His official rank is the eighth rank, and his strength is at the peak of the seventh rank, or has already reached the sixth rank. Whether it is his official position or his strength, he cannot afford to act rashly. Subsequently. Jiang Ning, Zhou Xing and Zhang Tiesheng also stepped forward to take their temporary identity tokens. the other side. Below the arena. Zhao Hu looked at this scene on the ring and suddenly felt extremely regretful. "Oh shit!!" "Can you still play like this?" “If I had known earlier, I would have gone on stage with them, and I would have been qualified to enter the Inspection House without having to fight.” "According to the way the plot has just developed, even if Jiang Ning attacks secretly, he will have no chance at all!" The chance to enter the Inspection Office was almost certain to be missed. The more Zhao Hu thought about it, the more regretful he felt. In the wooden shed. When the disciples of the martial arts school saw this scene on the ring, they immediately started talking about it. "Senior Brothers Jiang Ning, Zhou Xing, and Zhang Tiesheng are really lucky!"

"Yes! This luck is really good! I passed the test automatically without fighting and became a member of the patrol guard. From now on, we are no longer in the same class!" Some disciples showed an extremely envious look in their eyes! "Yes! When you see the three senior brothers in the future, you must address them as sirs!" Upon hearing this, someone immediately echoed with emotion on his face. "Then again, the three brothers have escaped unharmed! That student from the Wuyuan School is so powerful that it's obvious at first glance. If he had attacked just now, the three brothers would have been in danger!" "That's inevitable! He is a student of Wuyuan, but he is from Dongling City. Although he is also an eighth-grade, if he takes action, Jiang Ning and Zhou Xing will definitely not be his opponents!" "I think so too. I can tell from the pale and skinny student from the Wuyuan School that he swept through everything with overwhelming force." "Yes! That pale and skinny Wuyuan student is obviously malnourished and has average physical fitness! He is so terrifying, not to mention this Wuyuan disciple in a white robe, who must be even more terrifying!" "." While everyone in the wooden shed was discussing, Jiang Ning and his companions also came down from the stage and walked towards the wooden shed where Wang Jin was. In the wooden shed. "it is good!" "it is good!!" "it is good!!!" Looking at the three people who had returned to him, Wang Jin's joy was beyond words. He continued, "You three have now successfully crossed the Dragon Gate. From now on, when you put on your official uniforms and rely on the resources of the Inspection Office, your future in martial arts will be limitless." Jiang Ning cupped his hands and said, "This is all thanks to Master's teachings!" These words came from Jiang Ning's heart. He knew that without Wang Jin, he would not be who he is today. Seeing this, Zhou Xing also bowed in greeting. "Thank you Master Wang for your cultivation in the past!" Zhang Tiesheng also hurriedly said: "Thank you for your cultivation, Master!" "You are all great!" Wang Jin nodded with emotion. Then he glanced at Zhang Tiesheng, then at Zhou Xing and said, "Zhou Xing, Tiesheng is your junior fellow apprentice. Since he follows you, I hope you will treat him well in the future." Upon hearing this, Zhou Xing immediately cupped his hands and said, "Master Wang, don't worry! I will definitely treat Junior Brother Tie Sheng well!" "Then I feel relieved!" Wang Jin nodded with satisfaction. Then he added: "You guys are my last disciples. From now on, Canglang Martial Arts School may be closed and will no longer accept disciples." "Master, why is this?" Jiang Ning asked immediately. Wang Jin laughed: "I'm not worried. This is not a bad thing, but a good thing! I will pursue martial arts well." at this time.

Yu Yuan, who was still paying attention to the arena, heard this crucial sentence from Wang Kou. He suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Jin with surprise. "Master Wang, what do you mean by that? Have you made some progress in martial arts?" "Not bad!" Wang Jin laughed: "Master Yu still understands me!" “How did you do this at your age?” Yu Yuan stared at Wang Jin with eyes wide open. "Congratulations, Master!" Jiang Ning congratulated him upon hearing this. "Congratulations, Master!" "Congratulations, Master Wang!" "Congratulations, Master Wang!" "." For a while, the congratulations from the disciples of the martial arts school were endless. Wang Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Ning roughly understood. It should be that Wang Jin's inner alchemy health-preserving skills have improved, and the abilities of his internal organs have been enhanced. In this way, Wang Jin was confident that he could make further progress, so he made the decision not to recruit any more disciples. "That's good!" Jiang Ning thought to himself as he thought about this. Wang Jin's improvement in strength was undoubtedly a great thing for him. As the master's strength improves, the disciple's backing will also become stronger. at this time. Yu Yuan, the master of Shenwei Martial Arts School, looked at the scene next to him and couldn't help but reveal envy in his eyes. If Wang Jin's strength can be further improved, he will reach the threshold of the sixth rank. This has been his long-cherished wish. For strong men of the older generation like them, unless their physical condition is declining and their strength is declining, who would choose to open a school to teach disciples and prepare for retirement? Wang Jin is so lucky! Not only is his disciple stronger than mine, but his own strength is also about to make a breakthrough? I wonder what kind of luck and opportunity this old guy got? Yu Yun was secretly thinking. After a while. The noise in the woodshed quieted. "Brother Jiang, I'm so envious of you!" Cheng Ran, who was standing next to Jiang Ning, had an envious look in his eyes. Faced with Cheng Ran's emotional sigh, Jiang Ning opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing how to comfort him.

He knew that joining the Inspection Office and learning martial arts to become stronger was Cheng Ran's only goal before this. The reason why he later gave up martial arts and turned to business was because Cheng Ran saw the reality clearly. Cheng Ran is not like himself, who has the opportunity to change his fate with the panel. Even though he tried hard to learn martial arts, he was not able to do so because of his natural talent, his understanding, and his family background. It is destined that no matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to achieve much. How many people practice martial arts in this world? There are many hard-working and motivated people among them. However, only one in ten or even one in a hundred can achieve the ninth-grade martial arts. Although Cheng Ran is different from them, as long as he keeps going, he still has hope of reaching the ninth level in martial arts. But going further would be too difficult for him. The eighth level requires mastery of strength. To master the power, one needs a high level of understanding in martial arts. Or outrageous wealth. Cheng Ran has neither of these two things. It is precisely because Cheng Ran realized this that he chose to give up the path of martial arts. After a moment of silence, Jiang Ning patted Cheng Ran on the shoulder. "Brother Cheng, you can actually choose to learn martial arts." "Inspectorate Mansion, I might have a way to let you in!" "Really?" Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Cheng Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, turning from dim to bright. Jiang Ning thought about it, recalling what Liu Sansheng said when he came to his house before, and he nodded slightly again. "Maybe there is a way! But I can't guarantee it!" "That's fine!" Cheng Ran smiled. "Brother Jiang has this intention, that's great! As for whether it will work or not, I've let it go!" "If it doesn't work out, there's no way to practice martial arts, so I can focus on running my family's business, which is also a good choice!" "As long as you have money, you can still hire a ninth-rank martial arts expert to protect your family's fortune." Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning patted Cheng Ran on the shoulder again and said nothing more. Although Liu Sansheng had said before that once he won the position of team leader, he would be able to promote himself to the Inspection Office. But how to do this thing and whether it will succeed or not. He doesn't dare to make any guarantees now.

at the same time. In the training ground. The battle for the ring is in full swing at this moment. Just now, someone saw the example of Jiang Ning and others, so he also tried to prevent people from going on stage, so that they could pass the assessment without fighting because there were not enough ten people. But the man who presided over the examination was not polite at all. He suddenly became angry and swept them off the stage one after another. Facing the doubts of these people, he also left a word. "My rules are the rules!" When everyone saw this, they immediately understood. As long as they follow the previous rules and ten people honestly go on stage and participate in the fight, the five remaining people will become kings and they will be considered to have passed the assessment. As the sun reached noon. cuckoo- Jiang Ning and the others felt hungry rumbling in their stomachs. People who practice martial arts are physically strong, and their digestion and appetite are better than those of ordinary people. When it’s time for dinner, the sounds of hunger in the stomach come one after another. at this time. A slight commotion came from the distant woodshed. "Is this the cause of the commotion just now?" Wang Jin spread out his hands, in which was a green pill that the soldiers had just distributed to him. "Yes, Master Wang!" Zhou Xing nodded. At this moment, he was in high spirits and looked very ambitious. Zhou Xing then continued, "Master Wang, I just asked about this. This is a marching pill, which is made from the essence extracted from meat by the alchemist and mixed with several kinds of herbs." "One is enough to give an ordinary ninth-grade warrior a meal of preserved fruit." At this time, Jiang Ning also threw the marching pill in his hand into his mouth. As his throat moved, the pill entered his stomach. Soon, he felt the marching pills slowly decomposing in his stomach, and the hunger in his stomach gradually eased. At this moment, Wang Jin also swallowed it. Then he opened his eyes and nodded slightly. "It really works. The hunger is gradually gone!" “It is similar to the fasting pills recorded in ancient books.”

"It's just that the ancient books record that one pill of the Bigu Pill can resist three days of hunger, and the effect is far better than the Marching Pill." Zhou Xing said, "Master Wang is right. This pill should be made based on the legendary Bigu Pill." Bigu Pill? When Jiang Ning heard these three words, he was a little surprised. at this time. thump— thump— thump— The drums suddenly sounded, and the sound of thunder permeated the entire parade ground. "This is... The entrance examination is officially over!" Wang Jin stood up suddenly. Then he looked at Jiang Ning and Zhou Xing: "Next, it's the battle for the captain! Both of you are eighth-rank martial artists, so you are qualified to try to compete for the captain position of the Inspection Office." "If one of you is lucky enough to win the position of team leader, it will be a real meteoric rise to fame!" "In the inspection house, there are ten people in a team. As the team leader, you have the power to command nine ninth-grade martial artists." "This is enough to allow you to walk sideways in Luoshui County, not to mention the other benefits that come with this position." Zhou Xing clenched his fists and said, "Disciple understands! Master Wang, please rest assured that I will do my best to take the position of team leader." "Where are you, kid?" Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning immediately smiled: "Master, don't worry! I will definitely take the position of team leader and make you proud!" "I feel relieved when you say that!" Wang Jin said with a hearty laugh. Next to him, the owner of the Shenwei Martial Arts School couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ning. "Master Wang's disciple is so arrogant!" "Why, are you unhappy with my disciple?" Wang Jin sneered. "Master Wang, with this tone, do you want to continue the bet we just made?" Yu Yuan asked. "Don't set a trap for me!" Wang Jin glared at Yu Yuan: "I won't fall for your trap!" Just at this time. There were heavy footsteps outside the wooden shed. "Master, I have fulfilled my mission and successfully passed the assessment to become a member of the Patrol Guard!" As soon as the voice reached everyone's ears, Zhao Hu rushed into the wooden shed and announced loudly with a proud face. "Passed?" Wang Jin stood up and asked in surprise. "Of course I passed!" Zhao Hu announced proudly.

"Good! Good!! Good!!!" Wang Jin looked at Zhao Hu in front of him and patted his shoulder heavily to show encouragement. (End of this chapter)
