Assessment Begins _ 1

The next morning.

The first rays of the morning sun broke through the clouds and fell gently on the ground.

The Inspection Bureau of Black Clouds Town gradually became noisy. A lively atmosphere enveloped the venue.

When Liu Jiang arrived at the bureau's martial arts arena with his long, slender saber, the place was already quite lively.

All the inspectors rubbed their palms in preparation to perform well.

If they gained the Supervisor's attention and a chance to be specially nurtured, they would receive more cultivation resources every month.

When Zhang Daliang saw Liu Jiang, he asked in concern, "Liu Jiang, how are you? Have you mastered the Roaming Dragon Movement Technique?"

Liu Jiang nodded and said, "It's already completed."

"That's good." Zhang Daliang smiled happily.

Joy from Zhang Daliang, +1250, +1180, +…

Zhang Daliang patted Liu Jiang's shoulder and said, "With the Major Success Stage Roaming Dragon Movement Technique, even if you meet an ordinary five-star peak Black Iron martial artist, you will be invincible. As long as you find an opportunity, you can defeat him. With a little luck, you should have a chance to enter the top 10."

"Yes." Liu Jiang smiled and nodded. He was prepared to give Zhang Daliang a surprise.

Looking at the fruit on the Treasure Tree, which was about to ripen with more than a thousand points of joy, Liu Jiang wondered about how to collect the joyous emotions.

If he guessed correctly, after refining four more energy fruits, his cultivation level would break through to the Black Iron seven-star level.

Zhang Daliang continued, "I heard that the Supervisor who's coming this time is a trusted aide of the Chief of the Inspectorate in the Eastern Mountain County. He is a genius. He has extremely high authority in the Inspectorate.

As long as you catch his eye, you will get a chance to be nurtured. Your cultivation resources will increase several times. You must seize this opportunity and perform well. "

The Inspection Bureau was a military agency in the Immortal Kingdom that maintained law and order and subdued demons. They were staffed by Immortal Cultivators who took orders from the Immortal Kingdom's Inspectorate. The Kingdom was a vast territory of 500 billion square kilometers controlled by the Immortal Emperor.

The main Inspection Palace controlled 18 Inspection Palaces. Each Palace protected the safety of a province.

Every Inspection Palace controlled more than 10 Inspection Halls. Each Hall guarded the safety of a prefecture.

Every Inspection Hall controlled more than 10 Inspectorates. Each Inspectorate protected the safety of a county.

Every Inspectorate controlled more than 10 Inspection Bureaus. Each Bureau ensured the safety of an important town.

The Inspection Bureau was the most basic military organization in the Immortal Kingdom.

The Black Clouds Town Inspection Bureau was affiliated with the Inspectorate of the Eastern Mountain County.

The cultivation resources of Black Clouds Town Inspection Bureau were allocated by the Eastern Mountain County Inspectorate.

The cultivation resources obtained by each inspector every month were quite limited. Only by showing outstanding talent would their resources be increased.

The most important goal of the Supervisor from the Inspectorate was to scout out talents in the assessment and give them special attention and support.

Therefore, all the inspectors yearned to be noticed by the Supervisor and be specially nurtured so that their cultivation resources would be increased.

"Yes, I will work hard." Liu Jiang nodded.

Although he had the Treasure Tree, the more cultivation resources he had, the better off he would be. Even if they could not be used, they could be exchanged for talismans, spirit weapons, gold, and silver.

Zhang Daliang reminded him, "After you go on stage, don't be careless, but don't be nervous. Just do your best."

"Yes." Liu Jiang nodded.

Looking at the martial artists on the martial arts arena, Liu Jiang could not help but feel slightly nervous.

After all, he would be fighting someone soon.

"Get ready. I'll go look for the Inspector and get closer to him," Zhang Daliang said directly. With that, he walked away confidently.

Liu Jiang smiled slightly and moved around alone, looking for an opportunity to stir up emotions.

"Liu Jiang, how's your preparation going?"

When he heard the voice, Liu Jiang turned around and saw a thin, tall young man who looked to be around 16 or 17 years old.

The thin and tall young man's name was Li Jun, Liu Jiang's drinking buddy. They had a good relationship.

"It's alright. How's your preparation?" Liu Jiang asked.

"I'm alright too. My Drifting Bamboo Movement Technique has just reached small success."

Li Jun chuckled, looking like he was showing off.

"Impressive. Then you will definitely be in the top 10 this time." Liu Jiang praised, "You will very likely receive the Inspector's attention."

Joy from Li Jun, +1320, +1250, +…

The Energy Fruit instantly ripened, and a second flower bud quietly grew.

"I'm still far from being nurtured." Li Jun wore a modest expression, but the joy on his face could not be concealed. He patted Liu Jiang's shoulder and said in a condescending tone, "Don't worry. When I become rich, I will definitely protect you."

Joy from Li Jun, +1350, +260, +…

His vanity was greatly satisfied in front of his friends. This fellow was a little excited and kept giving Liu Jiang joy.

In just two minutes, more than 8,000 points were swept up.

The second fruit was about to ripen.

At this moment, a burly teenager with muscles all over walked over. He was Liu Jiang's other colleague and friend, Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu leaned on Liu Jiang's shoulder and pointed into the distance.

Liu Jiang and Li Jun looked over.

Yang Yue and a long-faced teenager walked towards the martial arts arena.

The two of them chatted and laughed, looking very intimate.

Seeing Yang Yue and Wu Geng walking together, Liu Jiang only smiled. There was no emotion in his heart.

Yesterday on the streets, Liu Jiang already knew that Yang Yue had feelings for Wu Geng. In order to cut ties with him, Yang Yue did not hesitate to insult him.

Moreover, Wu Geng had some feelings for Yang Yue. The two of them should be together soon.

After all, although Wu Geng was not as good looking, he had a good family background and was talented. In a few years, he might become the Chief. His future was promising.

"Damn, why is Yang Yue with Wu Geng? They're so intimate. There's definitely a problem."

Li Jun said coldly.

As Liu Jiang's friend, he naturally knew how devoted Liu Jiang was to Yang Yue and how much he had sacrificed for her.

With that, Li Jun and Zhang Hu secretly looked at Liu Jiang's expression.

In their opinion, Liu Jiang would definitely be heartbroken when he saw this scene.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jiang had a calm expression and a faint smile on his face.

But they quickly reacted.

Liu Jiang was pretending to be calm.

Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. It was so painful that he could not breathe.

How pitiful! they thought.

The two of them looked at each other, feeling upset.

From Li Jun's compassion, +1280, +1180, +…

From Zhang Hu's compassion, +1300, +1100, +…

Liu Jiang sensed that the sapling had absorbed a special power of emotion that had never appeared before.

He looked at the Treasure Tree.

A small flower bud appeared on the yellow branch of the Treasure Tree.

A fruit that absorbed compassion could cause the target to suffer for three days.

The Unlucky Fruit was still lacking 5,420 points of emotional force to mature.

Unlucky fruit?

"It feels a little weak. It's not as powerful as the previous fruits."

Liu Jiang muttered to himself.

Li Jun patted Liu Jiang's shoulder and consoled, "Liu Jiang, you're so handsome. It's her loss that she doesn't fancy you. Furthermore, that woman is too materialistic. She's not a good person."

Zhang Hu also consoled him. "Li Jun is right. Moreover, it's not embarrassing to lose to Wu Geng. Wu Geng is richer than you, more talented than you, and more capable than you."

Liu Jiang felt his teeth hurt when he heard that. This was a stab while consoling someone.

However, he knew that Zhang Hu had suffered a brain injury when he fell from a tree when he was young. He had always been this stupidly honest.

Zhang Hu continued to comfort him. "Wu Geng is too outstanding. He is only 17 years old and is already a peak Black Iron Six-star. He has already mastered the Roaming Dragon Movement Technique. I estimate that he will reach initial success soon.

In this assessment, he will most likely become the vice-captain of our Team 3. He's much better than you."

Liu Jiang said half-jokingly, "I might even become the leader of our Team 3."

"You…"

Li Jun and Zhang Hu rolled their eyes at Liu Jiang.

Liu Jiang was only a peak three-star Black Iron. He was one of the lowest-ranking members in the Inspector Bureau of Black Clouds Town. He was even inferior to the two of them. How could he become the team captain?

Liu Jiang smiled and did not explain further.

Soon, the results would be out.
