"Oh? Please enlighten us, Senior Brother Zeng."
Wang Heng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly cupped his fists.
Zeng Liang glanced at him but did not steal the spotlight. Instead, he turned to Qu Yun. "Junior Brother Qu, you must know more about the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce's sponsorship assessment than I do. Why don't you explain it?"
At that, everyone looked toward Qu Yun. He did not demur and told them the general details of the assessment.
He explained its different grading tiers in some detail, much as Zhong Qingxue had before.
"Only an A grade earns an Inner Qi Inheritance technique? Senior Brother Qu, may I ask what it takes to get an A?"
Wang Heng's heart tightened. He felt Hong Ming's aptitude would easily earn him an A grade.
Qu Yun shook his head. "For Hong Ming, the requirements no longer matter."
"Why is that?" Qin Hao interjected.
Qu Yun was displeased at being interrupted, but seeing that it was Qin Hao, he let it pass. "Because the first requirement for an A grade is Superior Aptitude."
Everyone immediately understood why Qu Yun sounded so certain.
News of Hong Ming's Low-Grade Bone Structure had long since spread through the River Bureau. That meant his result had already been
decided before he even took the assessment.
If he could not even qualify, how could he earn an A grade? And without an A grade, how could he obtain an Inner Qi Inheritance technique?
Once Wang Heng worked this out, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, settled at once.
He did not want Hong Ming to obtain an Inner Qi Inheritance technique, and now he could not help taking pleasure in Hong Ming's misfortune.
Compared with Hong Ming, he felt more certain than ever
