Golden Holder Token, Bronze Robe

"Ah, Jun! How did it go?"

As soon as Lu Jun left the martial arts arena where the assessment was held, Li Tuo immediately greeted him.

"I passed by sheer luck," Lu Jun said with a smile, returning to his usual gentle demeanor.

Li Tuo pouted.

He had gotten to know Lu Jun's personality over these past few days.

When he wasn't fighting demons and monsters, this guy acted like a suave young master.

But the moment he encountered demons and monsters, he became like a rabid dog, determined to kill them all.

"Passed by sheer luck..." Li Tuo didn't believe it at all.

He knew that this assessment trial was about slaying demons and monsters.

Lu Jun must have gone wild!

Li Tuo thought for a moment and decided to change the subject: "Then how many demons and monsters did you kill?"

Lu Jun replied nonchalantly, "About fifty."

Li Tuo froze for a moment.

"Fifty? Wasn't there only a total of fifty in this assessment?"

Li Tuo suddenly came to his senses. Looking at Lu Jun, who had already walked far away, he exclaimed in shock, "No, you killed them all yourself?"

At this moment, in the assessment grounds.

Mo Jinyi stared blankly at everything happening in the martial arts arena.

In the arena, many Law Seekers had confused expressions, tinged with a bit of bewilderment.

This situation left them unsure of what to do.

Of the strongest three, two couldn't even block a casual slash from Lu Jun.

At this point, Mo Lou suddenly reappeared, scratching his head, looking troubled.

Next, Mo Lou looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please remain calm. I will go and request instructions from above..."

On the high platform.

"He... killed them all?" Mo Jinyi muttered, his expression dazed.

Mo Lou nodded with a look of lingering fear, "Yes. He's unexpectedly strong. I feel like I might not even be able to defeat him."

Mo Jinyi murmured, "So, besides him, no one else passed the assessment?"

Mo Lou nodded, "Yes, Old Father. He's the only one who passed this assessment. It's the first time I've seen this in many years."

Then, Mo Lou added, "The position of Bronze Robe is clearly not suitable for Lu Jun. We can't just give him Silver Robe, can we?"

"Give him Silver Robe my ass!!!"

"My money!" Mo Jinyi instantly wailed, collapsing onto the ground.

"Twice!! Two full times, as long as this scoundrel is around, I can't make a single cent!"

Mo Lou didn't know what to say.

His father was greedy for money, but he was also exceptionally principled when accepting payment. He had to ensure the matter was handled properly before he could accept the money with peace of mind; otherwise, he would return the money...

Now, two opportunities to get rich had slipped through his father's fingers, which was more painful than killing him.

Mo Lou hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Old Father, with the assessment results turning out like this, what should we do about these assessors below..."

Mo Jinyi wailed, waving his hand, "What else can we do? Return their money, tell them to scram... and come back next year!"

"I'm not the only one who sets the assessment criteria every time. How can I give them a chance to redo it? If they didn't pass, they didn't pass!"

In the afternoon, the three Golden Robes gathered again.

The three Golden Robes were troubled again.

They couldn't figure out what official position to give Lu Jun.

Generally speaking.

The highest official position one could attain in the Demon Slaying Division's assessments was Bronze Robe Envoy.

There was no need to start from the lowest position of Sword Wielder.

But with Lu Jun's heaven-defying, formidable strength, he was no less capable than the elites among the Silver Robes.

Giving him the Bronze Robe was... it made the Demon Slaying Division seem too stingy.

However, if they directly gave him a Silver Robe position, Lu Jun's seniority was insufficient.

Although Lu Jun had slain many demons and monsters, seniority in the Demon Slaying Division was judged by the commission orders completed after joining the division.

Currently, Lu Jun had only completed one mission in terms of seniority.

It was the incident where he cooperated with Li Tuo to slay the Skin-Peeling Ghost.

Old Man Yun stroked his beard.

This morning, he heard that Lu Jun had finished killing the demons for the assessment and was extremely surprised.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

As expected, my judgment is as sharp as ever!

Fang Jinyi said in a deep voice, "Do you two have any ideas?!"

Old Man Yun said, "I think it's best to just award Lu Jun the Bronze Robe..."

Mo Jinyi, with a displeased expression, looked up at Old Man Yun and said listlessly, "I thought this kid was brought up by you, Grandpa Yun, so you would at least give him a Silver Robe..."

Old Man Yun shook his head, "A Silver Robe is too fast a promotion. Becoming successful too quickly as a youth is ultimately not a good thing. The child still needs to mature... However, I think that even if he's awarded the Bronze Robe, we should give him some privileges. Otherwise, it's inevitable that our subordinates will feel we are being harsh on newcomers and hindering their promotion path."

Fang Jinyi said, "Isn't he going to serve as a Patrol Envoy in the local area for three months afterwards? How about giving him a Golden Holder Token?"

"That kid has talent, but his methods are quite eccentric. However, I must admit that eccentric methods are useful in those poor and remote areas, especially against local powers."

"Giving him a Golden Holder Token is equivalent to representing our identity when traveling locally. Facing those local figures won't put him at a disadvantage."

Old Man Yun nodded, "That's a good suggestion indeed."

Then, Old Man Yun said, "However, I gave my Golden Holder Token to a close friend... Do you two have any spare Golden Holder Tokens?"

Mo Jinyi shook his head, "It was rented out for half a year and hasn't been returned yet."

"..." Old Man Yun raised an eyebrow.

"Use mine..." Fang Jinyi casually turned his head, not wanting the other two to see the awkwardness on his face.

He then handed the Golden Holder Token to Old Man Yun, "You can just take it to him."

In the afternoon.

Not long after the three Golden Robes finished their discussion.

Old Man Yun arrived at Lu Jun's room.

"Senior Yun."

Lu Jun bowed to Old Man Yun.

"Yes, good child, I didn't misjudge you!" Old Man Yun continued, "You did very well in this assessment, but your qualifications are still too shallow. After our discussion, we've decided to award you the Bronze Robe."

"You're not feeling unhappy, are you..." Old Man Yun said with a smile.

"Senior understands me. I don't really care about these things; as long as there are demons to slaughter, that's enough," Lu Jun said with a smile.

Old Man Yun also smiled. He knew Lu Jun's personality well, which was why he teased him like this.

After speaking, Old Man Yun handed Lu Jun a robe and a Golden Holder Token he was holding.

"Tomorrow, you'll be going to Qingci Town to patrol for three months. To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to see you go."

"This is the reward for being the top scorer in this assessment. This time, the reward is a magical artifact – the Mystic Crane Cloud Mist Robe. It has defensive and wind-controlling formations, which can defend and increase your speed, and it matches your Spiritual Power very well."

"And this Golden Holder Token. With this token, when you travel, you are equivalent to the Golden Robes behind us walking the world. You will have the same rights as the Golden Robes of the Demon Slaying Division, such as mobilizing local Demon Slayers... If you can't win when you get there, you'll have a helper."

"This Golden Holder Token belongs to Fang Jinyi. When you patrol locally, you are representing him... Actually, don't let Fang Jinyi's strict laws and unapproachable demeanor fool you; he actually thinks highly of you... Don't disappoint us..."

Lu Jun quietly listened to Old Man Yun's lengthy instructions, not refuting anything, with a gentle smile on his face.
