Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 883: Sage of Ten Thousand Treasures

The audience started taking parts one by one to fight against Ning, who didnʼt lose at all.

They tried everything they could and yet it was simply impossible to send Ning out of the small area he had set up for himself.

That was until an old man came to him to fight as well.

”I hear I can get anything I want,” the old man said.

”Any skill or treasure, yes,” Ning said.

The old man nodded. ”Do you have a treasure that can help me learn about Time?” he asked.

”Time, huh?” Ning thought and asked his system. ʼSystem, do we have something like that?ʼ

”I do have treasures for learning about time too, you wonʼt have to worry about it,” Ning said without hesitation.

”I see. I hope you stay true to your word,” the old man said. ”May I begin?”

”Go ahead,” Ning said and stood firm.

As everyone watched, the old man slowly walked up to Ning. He looked lean and weak and didnʼt seem to hold much power in him. Only his Qi felt strong, but even then, Ning trusted his physical body.

Ning prepared himself as he expected the old man to attack. However, when the old man placed his palm on his chest, Ning felt no intent to attack.

Instead, something weird happened. He felt a familiar aura inside of him and at the next moment, his vision shifted as he arrived a few dozen meters away from where he stood previously.

Ning looked at himself in shock and then back at the old man. ʼHe teleported me,ʼ he thought. He had never seen anyone capable of teleporting someone else, so this truly came as a surprise.

”Wow, youʼre the first one to do it,” Ning said. ”Congrats.”

”Haha, you donʼt have to praise me. I know I still have a lot to learn about,” the old man said.

”Here,” Ning brought out something he asked the system to create and gave it to the old man. The old man caught it and looked at it carefully.

What he had just acquired was a house glass with sand filled in it that was flowing down through a small slit.

The old man was confused for a second when he noticed something. The flow of sand inside the hourglass made no sense given how big the hole actually was. It was as if the…

”The time has slowed down for the sand inside of it,” he understood. He once again fell into a daze as he looked at the new treasure he had just received.

”Yes, thatʼs it,” Ning said. ”I hope that works for you.”

”Sorry?” the old man was pulled out of his thoughts and didnʼt realize what he was doing. ”Ah, yes. This works. But are you really going to give it to me for free?”

”Of course, that was the deal when we started. I donʼt go back on my words,” Ning said.

The old man stared at the hourglass for a few seconds before looking back at Ning. ”May I ask what your name is?”

”Ning Ruogong. Tell your friends about me too,” Ning said and walked back to the spot to wait for more people to come to challenge him.

The old man muttered the name once under his breath and left the outside to go back into the city.

”Whoʼs next?” Ning shouted at the gathered crowd who had just seen that it was in fact possible to remove him from his spot.

Without hesitation, they all raised their hands as they too wanted something that would otherwise be impossible for them.

Ning smiled and got back to work as he once again squashed the dreams of everyone that wanted to gain something from him.

After the old man, he didnʼt let anyone catch him off guard, and thus in almost a month of him being there, no one was able to win against him.

In the meantime, Ningʼs name was being passed around the city and even further as a man that would grant them their deepest wish, so long as they could beat him.

However, after a month, Ning changed his approach which made a lot of people frown.

People walked by his place and saw multiple rings drawn around him with the board next to him that read something different from what it used to.

ʼPay a single treasure to try and push me out of this circle. The higher the grade of the treasure, the smaller the circle will be. All treasures that you lose will go into the winning pile that will be won by the first person that can push me out.ʼ

ʼOn top of all that, you will also gain any treasure or skill of your choice. Good luck.ʼ

Ning had put 10 of his own treasures onto the pile, to begin with, and waited for people to come.

At first, it didnʼt look like they would come, but soon enough they started coming one after another to try their hands at getting something.

They would pay Ning a treasure which he put onto the pile next to him and started the match. The men and women would try and fail and leave dejectedly.

Some would actually come back multiple times, but even so, they would leave dejectedly.

Ning smiled as he watched the treasures pile up and soon enough, he had nearly a hundred of them.

He continued doing that for a week, and by the end of it, Ning had nearly a thousand different treasures, perfect for luring in even more people to him.

He now had enough treasures to establish a small-scale inheritance site. But he wanted more.

Soon enough, more people started talking about him, and this time they even gave him a title he would have never hoped to get.
