216: Black gold bone perfection is hard steel

There were still three or four days until the group assessment.

Chu Qing calculated the time and felt it was enough.

He then told Nangong to start Cultivating her dragon tendon.

If there wasn't enough time, then they wouldn't participate in the assessment.

After all:

The dragon tendon was truly too profound.

Cultivating it early would bring Nangong immense benefits.

Nangong prepared various Secret medicine, even consuming some in advance.

Then, she began to Cultivate.

Chu Qing only needed to replenish her Secret medicine periodically.

Watching Nangong Cultivate her dragon tendon was very pleasing to the eye.

Because she danced the Heavenly Demonic Dance, her flexibility was quite good.

As she performed various strange poses, her posture became even more graceful.

Chu Qing admired her.

One day... two days... on the third day, Chu Qing gave Nangong some Secret medicine.

He then Cultivated on his own.

His Golden Bone had reached Perfection.

He should have gone to Blood Refinement.

However, he went to the Library, where the ordinary Blood Refinement methods could only produce silver blood at best.

He was not satisfied.

Therefore:

He wanted to use that top-tier token to acquire a Secret Inheritance-level Blood Refinement method.

"Martial Instructor of Class Nine, because of me, I've been delayed for three days."

"You wait, soon, I will make you pay the price."

He contacted Worldly Affairs, asking them to search for detailed information about the Martial Instructor of Class Nine.

He even requested to know what time the other party ate every day.

What time he slept.

The intelligence personnel of Worldly Affairs felt strange in their hearts: "Why did this person place so many orders?"

"Could it be that these are all his enemies?"

"This guy has too many enemies!"

Chu Qing didn't know what the intelligence personnel were thinking.

At this moment, he was waiting for Nangong's dragon tendon to be completed.

Just then, a servant knocked on the door.

Chu Qing asked: "What's the matter?"

"Master, Hall Number Nine is having a gathering, and everyone hopes you can come over."

"They say they're discussing the group assessment!"

Chu Qing was momentarily stunned, a group assessment?

"That's right, by my calculations, it should be starting soon."

He prepared a set of clothes for Nangong, then locked the door and went to the hall.

Upon arriving at the hall, he found that everyone was there except Nangong.

Even the Martial Instructor who maliciously lowered his evaluation was there.

The Martial Instructor asked Chu Qing with dissatisfaction: "Where is Nangong?"

"What bad things are you two doing cooped up in the room every day?"

Chu Qing sneered: "Instructor, speak properly, otherwise, people will die."

With his Golden Bone at Perfection, his Golden Tendons at Perfection, plus the dragon tendon.

Although he might not be a match for the Martial Instructor.

However, he was full of confidence.

He wasn't afraid of the other party at all.

The Martial Instructor's eyes widened.

Chu Qing actually threatened him in public?

"You're threatening me?"

The Martial Instructor, exasperated, pointed at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing sneered: "Heh heh... so what if I threaten you?"

The Martial Instructor's face turned ugly.

Lead Big Brother, who was beside him, coughed and said:

"Master Sun, aren't you going to announce the assessment mission?"

"Announce it quickly!"

"If you announce it early, we can prepare."

Master Sun sneered, pulled out a box, and threw it on the table: "See for yourselves."

A student took it and gave it to Lead Big Brother.

Lead Big Brother opened it and looked inside.

Then... thump!

Lead Big Brother's legs went soft, and he plopped onto the ground, his face pale, trembling all over.

"It's over!"

"We're going to die!"

Many students' expressions changed drastically.

Lead Big Brother was the strongest among them.

Now, even the strongest one was scared like this?

What kind of terrifying assessment mission was it?

Many students didn't even dare to look at the assessment note.

Chu Qing shook his head inwardly.

The quality of these Zhou City students was too poor.

He picked up the note and read aloud:

"The collective assessment mission for Hall Number Nine is as follows—"

"Lotus Leaf Temple has a demonic monk causing chaos in the Human World, harming countless women, leading to the destruction of many families."

"It is hereby ordered—all members of Hall Number Nine are to destroy Lotus Leaf Temple and slay the demonic monk."

Chu Qing threw away the note.

Then, he saw a group of young men and women with pale faces.

Some even fell to the ground.

"Why is the Lotus Leaf Temple the assessment?"

"The Abbot of Lotus Leaf Temple is a good person; my mother goes there every now and then."

"Why destroy Lotus Leaf Temple?"

"Lotus Leaf Temple has connections with many Noble families in the city."

"There are even Big Shots in the Imperial Capital who go to Lotus Leaf Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha every year!"

"If we dare to touch a single brick or tile of Lotus Leaf Temple, I'm afraid our Family will abandon us."

"This assessment mission is purely meant to make us offend people and send us to our deaths."

Many students wailed.

Master Sun sneered.

Lead Big Brother trembled and said: "I have some gossip; I heard that Lotus Leaf Temple has a follower of a powerful being as its backer."

"Master Sun, can we change the assessment mission?"

Master Sun sneered: "Impossible!"

"This assessment mission was set because of Chu Qing."

"This guy acts arrogantly and has offended many people."

"Many people want him dead."

"So, if you want to resent someone, go resent Chu Qing!"

"Remember, you must complete the assessment within seven days."

"Otherwise... half of you will be stripped of your Martial Academy status."

"Although you are Young Masters of a Prominent Family, you should also know that your fate after losing your Martial Academy status will not be pleasant."

A student covered his face and cried: "If I lose my Martial Academy status, my older brother will definitely take the opportunity to kill me."

There were also women crying.

Without Martial Academy status, even if she was a Prodigy, she would be forced into marriage with other Families.

She didn't want to marry and have children so early.

And she certainly didn't want to become a haggard housewife.

At this moment, everyone except Chu Qing was sad, fearful, and uneasy.

Chu Qing looked at Lead Big Brother.

Unfortunately, Lead Big Brother's eyes were vacant, as if he were a dead person.

Chu Qing coughed and said:

"Everyone..."

A student suddenly pointed at Chu Qing and shouted: "It's all your fault."

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have such a difficult assessment!"

"It's all your fault!"

The other students also came to their senses, pointing at Chu Qing and blaming him.

Master Sun, on the side, had a smug look.

In fact, this assessment mission was just issued from above.

Its priority level reached the highest.

If the Martial Academy couldn't handle it, then experts from above would personally deal with Lotus Leaf Temple.

However, such an operation would cause a great deal of upheaval.

All of this actually had nothing to do with Chu Qing.

But Master Sun insisted on saying it did.

He wanted Chu Qing to incur public outrage.

Chu Qing was enraged.

Boom!

He suddenly struck, grabbed a student who was pointing at him, lifted him high.

Then, he forcefully slammed him to the ground.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One by one, the students were slammed to the ground by Chu Qing before they could react.

The ground cracked, and they spat blood, injured.

Master Sun's pupils constricted.

Although these students' Heart-Nature was average, their strength was quite formidable.

Chu Qing, with a casual throw, made them injured and spit blood.

How could this Chu Qing... be so powerful?

If I keep targeting him like this... will he really retaliate against me?

How powerful will he become... if he grows up?

No!

I absolutely cannot let him grow up.

Master Sun gnashed his teeth.
