The Assessor

Qin Bo immediately decided to seclude himself and cultivate, trying to break through before the assessment.

He closed the courtyard gate and sat down cross-legged in the house, circulating the Ancient Desolation Body Tempering Technique.

As the vital energy circulated, Qin Bo could feel it surging like a rushing river, flowing through his meridians.

Following the circulation route of the Ancient Desolation Body Tempering Technique, he guided the vital energy to continuously impact various parts of his body.

He tried to make the vital energy more condensed, laying the foundation for condensing vital energy and advancing to the Blood Condensation Realm.

Time quietly passed during cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, a day had gone by.

Qin Bo was immersed in cultivation, completely unaware of everything around him.

The next moment, Qin Bo opened his eyes.

A trace of helplessness flashed in his originally tired eyes.

"Could it be that my talent is really useless?"

"Forget it, I won't dwell on it. If I don't have it, I don't have it."

He has a cheat, he just needs to work diligently...

Ahem... burn his lifespan.

Then everything is not a problem.

"Since talent is not enough, then use lifespan to make up for it. As long as I can stand out in the Demon Suppressing Division assessment, everything will be worth it."

Qin Bo clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with firm light.

Thinking of this, Qin Bo stopped cultivating.

He stood up and went out.

Qin Bo walked out of the room and took a deep breath of fresh air.

At this time, the sky was near dusk, and the City Lord's Mansion was quiet, but Qin Bo knew clearly in his heart that under this calm, undercurrents were surging.

He decided to take advantage of the time before the assessment to go to the city to inquire about news, maybe he could find more information related to the Netherworld.

Qin Bo tidied up his clothes and quietly left the City Lord's Mansion.

The night in Yunzhou City was extremely lively, the streets were brightly lit, and pedestrians were like weaving.

It seemed to have nothing to do with this anomalous world!

But Qin Bo had no intention of admiring this prosperous night scene. He shuttled through the streets and alleys, paying attention to the conversations of the people around him with his keen perception.

Outside a tavern, Qin Bo heard several burly men whispering.

"Have you heard? Yunzhou City is in danger this time."

"What?"

"The Netherworld is moving strangely, and it seems that the target is an anomaly sealed under Yunzhou City!"

"Are you sure?! Isn't the anomaly sealed in Yunzhou City just a legend?"

"What legend? This is true! I'm telling you, the day after tomorrow, the night of the full moon, which is when the seal is weakest, something might happen."

"Hiss... then why not leave Yunzhou City quickly."

"Coincidentally, that's what I think too, I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Then let's go together tomorrow, it's good to have a companion."

Qin Bo's heart trembled when he heard this conversation.

In fact, to be honest, he knew the inside story of this matter.

Those Netherworld ghost crows should be here to find Luo Qingyan.

But Zhou, the City Lord, accidentally pinched them to death, and then he happened to encounter a major sealing event, so he thought that these anomalies were here to break the seal and save the ghosts.

But he couldn't say it.

At the same time, he also had a question in his heart, could it be that these anomalies really came to pursue Luo Qingyan?!

Could it be that their purpose is really the fierce creature suppressed in Yunzhou City?!

Thinking of this, Qin Bo was immediately shocked.

Very likely!

"Luo Qingyan, is the purpose of your Netherworld the fierce creature suppressed in Yunzhou City?"

He quickly asked the marriage contract in his arms.

"Young Master, this matter is unknown to this little girl."

"Alright!"

Qin Bo was too lazy to ask, anyway, Yunzhou City is now planning for the worst.

There should be a way to deal with it, right?

And if there really are anomalies attacking, he can take the opportunity to collect some lifespan.

After wandering around outside for a while, Qin Bo realized he was broke.

He could only look but not touch.

In the end, he decided to just go back to sleep.

As soon as he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion gate, he ran into Zhou Ruixue.

"Oh, Young Master Qin, you're back! I just went to look for you and found you weren't at your residence. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Miss Zhou, I wonder what you need me for?"

Qin Bo was puzzled.

"It's nothing major, just introducing you to some people."

"They are all promising candidates who are about to participate in the Demon Suppressing Division assessment, so I specially arranged a banquet in the mansion. That's why I came to find you, so you can get to know each other. Maybe you'll be colleagues in the future."

"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Zhou to introduce me."

Qin Bo said with a smile.

Zhou Ruixue led Qin Bo to a quiet garden in the City Lord's Mansion.

In the garden, several people were already chatting.

Seeing Zhou Ruixue and Qin Bo approaching, everyone's eyes turned towards them.

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Qin Bo, who is also preparing to participate in the Demon Suppressing Division assessment. He's quite strong."

Zhou Ruixue said with a smile.

Qin Bo cupped his fist slightly and said politely, "Greetings, everyone. I hope you will take care of me in the future."

Among the crowd, a young man in white with a refined temperament was the first to respond:

"Brother Qin is too polite. To be introduced by Miss Zhou, Brother Qin must have something special."

"May I ask what family Brother Qin is from?"

"I am not from a famous family, just a scholar!"

As soon as Qin Bo finished speaking, another person's expression changed instantly.

"A scholar?! Hahahaha, are you sure you're not joking?"

"Everyone sitting here is either rich or noble, with extraordinary backgrounds. How can a commoner like you be worthy of sitting at the same table as us?"

Faced with this sudden mockery, Qin Bo's expression was calm, and he was not angry.

He looked directly at the speaker and said slowly:

"Although backgrounds may be different, everyone is equal on the path of cultivation. Although I am just a scholar, I am confident that I can prove myself in the assessment."

Zhou Ruixue frowned slightly and said dissatisfied, "Young Master Li, since Young Master Qin is capable, why bother about his background? Everyone is gathered here today to exchange cultivation experiences and jointly deal with the assessment. Such sarcastic remarks are a bit impolite."

The person called Young Master Li snorted coldly and said disdainfully:

"Miss Zhou, you have always been kind-hearted, but the cultivation world has always been cruel, relying on strength and background. What ability does an unknown person like him have? Don't drag everyone down."

The crowd looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment.

At this time, Lin Yu, the white-clothed youth with a refined temperament, spoke up to smooth things over:

"Brother Li, don't rush to conclusions. Since Brother Qin is valued by Miss Zhou, he must have something unique about him."

"Moreover, the Demon Suppressing Division assessment values personal ability, not background. We might as well wait and see how Brother Qin performs in the assessment."

Lin Yu's words were neither humble nor arrogant.

He maintained Qin Bo's face and pointed out the essence of the assessment, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Although Young Master Li was still dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything more.

However, Qin Bo was not one to force himself on others.

He then spoke to Zhou Ruixue.

"I appreciate Miss Zhou's kindness, but I am not on the same path as everyone else. It's better if we don't get to know each other."
