199: Collective assessment in ten days

A night of dancing Phoenix butterflies.

Nangong's second volume of Heavenly Demon has improved greatly.

Chu Qing cultivated diligently all night, and his improvement was also significant.

At dawn:

Nangong was tired and lay down on the soft couch, resting as she said, "At this rate, our progress will get faster and faster!"

Chu Qing nodded.

His Secret Inheritance and Nangong's Secret Inheritance complemented each other, and Cultivating them together resulted in immense improvement.

If the subsequent Secret Inheritances were also like this,

Then his improvement speed would be even faster.

Seeing Nangong resting, he said, "Rest for a little less, let's continue Cultivating!"

Nangong rolled her eyes, too lazy to bother with him.

Her second volume of Heavenly Demon was much more difficult than the first.

Cultivating it consumed a lot of mental effort.

She urgently needed to rest at this moment.

"You Cultivate on your own first, I'll rest for a while!"

Chu Qing nodded, then Cultivated on his own.

One hour... two hours... Nangong woke up.

She stretched lazily and carefully observed Chu Qing.

Chu Qing had Cultivated on his own all night without sleep, but he showed no signs of fatigue.

"Qing Ge... how many Golden Bones has he Cultivated exactly?"

"How is he even more energetic than me?"

Nangong's thoughts drifted aimlessly.

She fiddled with her toes, drawing on the man's chest.

Hoo!

Chu Qing exhaled a mouthful of stale Qi and opened his eyes, saying, "Let's go to the academy and collect resources."

Nangong put on her shoes and said, "I hope the Martial Instructor here doesn't covet our resources."

Chu Qing smiled and said, "The Martial Instructor here should know the rules."

The two simply washed up and left.

Outside the door, there were actually two students.

When they saw Nangong and Chu Qing coming out of the same room, they were stunned, then looked envious.

A few minutes later:

Chu Qing and Nangong arrived at Hall Number Nine.

Hall Number Nine had over fifty students.

When Chu Qing and Nangong arrived, they found many people queuing.

At the front of the line was a large table, with a dashing young man sitting behind it.

To his left, today's resources were piled up.

To his right was a food box.

Students lined up one by one, took resources from his left side, then went around to the right and put a portion of their resources into the food box.

And this young man was solemnly writing and drawing on the roll call book.

[Han Qinhu received resources!]

[Ma San received resources!]

...The line kept moving.

Chu Qing and Nangong naturally joined the queue.

Nangong grumbled, "To receive resources, we still have to hand over a portion?"

"Is this also a rule of the Martial Academy?"

Most students remained silent.

One student chuckled and said, "The State Martial Academy is different from those impoverished places."

"Here, the ten halls compete fiercely, and there are conflicts between them."

"You only need to give a small portion of your resources to Lead Big Brother, and if you get into trouble or encounter difficulties, Lead Big Brother will definitely help you solve them."

"Lead Big Brother is capable and trustworthy."

Nangong raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing smiled and said, "I want to protect myself."

Lead Big Brother looked at Chu Qing with surprise and calmly said,

"Alright."

"If you suffer a loss, you can always come to me."

"However, the price will be doubled then!"

Chu Qing smiled and said nothing.

Joking aside, he was almost at three hundred Golden Bones.

If he was still bullied by the students of this generation, he might as well find a crooked neck tree and hang himself.

Since Chu Qing didn't pay protection money, Nangong naturally didn't either.

Soon:

The two received their resources and prepared to leave.

As a result, Lead Big Brother clapped his hands and said,

"Everyone, there are ten more days until the full assessment mission."

"Those who have paid their fees, I will take care of you during the operation; for those who haven't, your life and death are up to heaven!"

Clatter!

Chu Qing stopped.

He turned his head to Lead Big Brother and asked curiously, "Full assessment mission?"

"It wasn't mentioned in the Martial Academy handbook."

Lead Big Brother sighed and said, "Hall Number Nine is ranked last among the ten halls, so it's mandatory to have a full assessment once a month."

"The mission is very difficult, and people can die if they're unlucky."

"So... it's still not too late to change your mind now."

Chu Qing didn't even think and turned to leave.

Nangong followed closely.

Lead Big Brother... was speechless.

Damn it, I've already told you it's dangerous, and you still won't offer me tribute?

If you don't join the group, how can I use you as cannon fodder?

The other students showed disdain.

In the past, there were also newcomers who made the same choice as Chu Qing.

But those newcomers either ended up paying double the price for protection or died.

"I dare say that when the full assessment comes in ten days, he will definitely pay double, or even several times the price, begging to join our group."

"Heh heh... these kinds of people simply won't shed tears until they see the coffin!"

The students of Hall Number Nine looked at Chu Qing and Nangong with contempt.

At this time:

Chu Qing and Nangong went to the Library.

Both wanted to choose a top-tier Martial skill that could be used in the Bone Forging Realm.

However:

After searching in the Library for two hours, they were disappointed.

Although the Cultivation Techniques inside were Advanced, they didn't fancy them.

The top-tier Cultivation Techniques they wanted simply weren't there.

The Martial Instructor guarding the Library calmly said, "If you want top-tier Martial skills, you have to do missions."

Nangong shook her head and said, "I don't have time to do missions."

Chu Qing was the same.

"With resources, quickly transforming them into Golden Bones is the true Dao."

"Martial skill Moves are ultimately just icing on the cake."

The two returned to their room.

Perhaps it was for the second volume of Heavenly Demon, or perhaps for other reasons.

Nangong actually stayed in the same room as Chu Qing.

Chu Qing didn't care either.

He swallowed the Secret medicine and began to Cultivate Golden Bones.

One hour... three hours... the resources were depleted.

A Black Gold Bone was Cultivated.

Chu Qing got up, preparing to go out.

Nangong asked, "Where are you going?"

Chu Qing thought for a moment and said,

"After I came to Zhou City, several people from the brokerage firm made things difficult for me, an outsider."

"Now that I've somewhat found my footing, it's time to cause them some trouble."

Nangong's eyes widened, staring at him intently.

Chu Qing felt uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Nangong rolled her eyes and said, "I know you hold grudges, but I didn't expect you to be so petty."

Chu Qing laughed heartily, "If they only made things difficult for me, I wouldn't care."

"But at that time, they also made things difficult for my Godmother."

"I was unfamiliar with the place, and I made my Godmother worry and be afraid."

"If they don't pay a price, how can it be fair to their evil deeds?"

Nangong... pouted, muttering, "Is any of your Godmothers proper?"

Chu Qing said seriously, "Proper!"

Nangong giggled.

"Alright, I'll go with you to deal with those brokers!"

Chu Qing thought for a moment and said, "I can do it alone."

"You help me with something else!"

Nangong tilted her head and said, "What help? Tell me?"

Chu Qing quickly said, "Can you use the Thousand Eyes Alliance to investigate the Martial Instructor who made things difficult for me? And that old woman, Director Liu?"

Nangong looked astonished.

She said strangely, "What do you want to do?"

Chu Qing sighed and said, "Nothing at all."

Nangong snorted lightly, she didn't believe him at all!
