The Assessment Begins

After Su Yang completed the registration, he returned to the restaurant.

After a short rest, Su Yang went out and strolled around Tianfeng County.

Tianfeng County was very big, and there were many bustling streets. Su Yang strolled on the street like this, feeling this rare moment of relaxation.

Ever since he came to this world, Su Yang had not relaxed much. Studying talent, familiarizing himself with the world, wielding his sword day after day… It was as if this was the first time he had relaxed.

Since they were in such a lively place, they had to take a stroll. One had to know that he had tens of thousands of silver notes in his hands. If this money was not converted into cultivation resources, it would be useless.

What he needed now was a medicinal bath recipe, something that could be absorbed from the outside of his body.

There might not be one in Pingshan City, but there might be one in Tianfeng Commandery since it was so prosperous. The spirit body medicinal bath was gradually losing its effect, and he needed a brand new medicinal bath to replace it.

Su Yang strolled from afternoon to night. He had also done some research on the delicacies of this era.

It had to be said that in this era of craftsmanship, those who were not good at craftsmanship would not be popular. In this era, all the famous delicacies were real delicacies. The feeling of eating until the end of the street could only be described in one word: Awesome!

Of course, he didn’t forget about the important matter. He had already visited all kinds of commercial buildings, including the most high-class shop in Tianfeng Prefecture, the Sky Treasure Pavilion. However, there were no medicinal bath recipes or spiritual items that he needed.

According to Su Yang’s requirements, it was the kind that could directly strengthen the body without paying any price. However, the medicinal bath recipes in this world were basically recipes that complemented body tempering techniques.

For example, the Skin-Tempering Medicinal Bath required one to cultivate the Iron Skin Technique. One would actively wear and tear the skin during cultivation. After cultivating for a day until one’s entire body was covered in injuries, the Skin-Tempering Medicinal Bath would only be effective. Soaking it directly would not be effective.

There were many body refining techniques in the Sky Treasure Pavilion, and there were also medicinal bath recipes for them. But the key was…If Su Yang had the time to refine his body, it would be better to swing his sword a few more times.

He needed a strong body mainly so that he could swing more swords every day. Therefore, after walking around, he did not find any useful medicinal bath recipes. From the looks of it, the spirit body medicinal bath recipe that Zhang Zhiwu gave him was rather precious.

When he returned to the restaurant, he habitually glanced around the guest hall, but he didn’t find the old man he had bumped into today. Su Yang did not mind. He went back to rest and waited for the assessment tomorrow.

…

On the second day, Su Yang arrived at the Patrol Inspector’s Office at the designated time.

Today was different from yesterday, there were many people in the Patrol Department, and all the important figures of Tianfeng County were present.

Commander of the Martial Suppression Division, Prefect of Tianfeng Prefecture, Commander of the Windwolf Army…

The Windwolf Army was the garrison stationed on one side of Tianfeng County.

Su Yang followed the instructions. When he came, he paid attention, but he still did not see Han Qiu. This surprised Su Yang.

Wasn’t Han Qiu also here to participate in the Patrol Examiner assessment?

Shaking his head, Su Yang did not think too much about it. He might have gone in long ago, or he might not have come yet.

There were two venues in total: One was for the assessment of the Four-Direction Inspector. The other was for the assessment of the Patrol Inspector.

“Hmm?” Su Yang looked at the two examination halls and blinked, “So… The chief inspector doesn’t need to be assessed?”

Suddenly, Su Yang thought of something. That’s right, the position of the chief inspector was equivalent to the commander of the Tianfeng prefecture’s Martial Suppression Division and the commander of the Windwolf Army. Even if there was a test, it wouldn’t be for these people from Tianfeng County.

It is likely that the assessments are conducted by higher authorities, and once passed, one can be appointed to the position. Therefore, even if he has the cultivation level of the third grade, it is impossible for him to directly become the Chief Inspector.

“Alright then… I was thinking too much.” Shaking his head, Su Yang walked into the Four-Direction Inspector’s assessment field.

There were already five people inside. When he entered, he was greeted by a sweeping gaze. The Four-Direction Inspector only needed four people, and now there were more than four people here, so they were all competitors.

When everyone looked at him, Su Yang was also looking at everyone. Among the five people, four of them were about forty years old. From this point, it could be seen that it was not easy to cultivate the fourth grade. However, there was one person who was about the same age as him, about twenty.

The assessment had not started yet. After Su Yang came in, he found a seat and stood waiting.

In the next few minutes, a few more people came in one after another. The number of people in the examination hall reached eight.

Two of the three people who came later were middle-aged and one was from the younger generation.

The young man who came later gave Su Yang a very arrogant and proud feeling. He clearly did not speak, but he carried an arrogant aura as if he did not put everyone in his eyes at all. The position of Four-Direction Inspector was within reach.

There were a total of eight people, but Han Qiu was not among them. It seemed like he had gone to the Patrol Inspector examination hall.

When the time was up, Ma Wu, the commander of the Windwolf Army, opened his eyes.

“Time’s up.”

The soldiers guarding the door immediately closed the door.

Ma Wu swept his gaze around, and a third-grade aura spread out.

“Very good. There are two steps to the Four-Direction Inspector test.”

“The first step is to verify if you have the strength of a fourth grade.”

“I have a piece of purple gold stone here. Those who are not in the fourth grade cannot leave a mark on it. Everyone needs to try it before the one who leaves a mark can proceed to the next step.”

Ma Wu pointed at a purple-gold stone on the ground.action

“First, Ye Jiang.”

The young man who was in the room at the beginning stood up and stretched his back.”Ha, then I’ll give you a demonstration first.”

Ye Jiang came to the purple-gold color with a relaxed expression. He gathered his qi and waved it, and the qi force in his body jumped out and hit the purple-gold color with a bang. Then, a fingernail-sized mark appeared on the purple-gold color. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell.

Everyone was shocked. Wasn’t this the power of a fourth-grade? They were all in fourth grade. How could they not see the depth?

Only Su Yang felt that this purple-gold color was too hard. He had to use more strength later.

“Tsk…” The arrogant youth sighed.

“Lord, did I pass?” Ye Jiang glanced at the other party and said nonchalantly.

“You passed.” Ma Wu’s face darkened.

Ye Jiang returned to his seat smugly.

“Next, Fang Yi.”

“Next, Zhou Bai.”

“Next, Yan Dao.”

“Next, Wei Chuan.”

“Next, Ding Ziwu.”

Five people passed the test in a row, and they all left obvious marks on the amethyst. In the end, only the arrogant young man and Su Yang were left.

“Next, Sun Tianpeng.”

This person looked at Ye Jiang provocatively, then stepped forward and punched the spot where Ye Jiang had left a mark, forcefully leaving a fist mark.

He was so pleased with himself.

“Childish.”

Just Ye Jiang’s light and light two words made Sun Tianpeng’s hair stand on end. If Ma Wu wasn’t here, these two guys would probably have a live martial arts competition.

From the looks of it, these two fellows should know each other.

“Next, Su Yang.”

In the end, only Su Yang was left.

Everyone looked at him curiously. They were very curious about Su Yang’s strength and identity. Those who had reached this level of strength at this age basically had the backing of a large faction. The name of a genius should have long spread. However, they had no impression of Su Yang at all.

Su Yang had already arrived in front of the purple-gold stone.

He thought for a moment, and a casual strike should be enough.

It wasn’t the Chief Patrol Inspector’s assessment, so there was no need for it.
