It was almost March.
The day of the Outer Sect assessment had come around again.
Jiang Man was now an Inner Sect disciple stationed in the Outer Sect.
So his Outer Sect assessment was optional.
He could not participate in the Annual Grand Competition either.
After all, an Inner Sect disciple entering the Outer Sect's Annual Grand Competition would simply be bullying everyone.
But he could participate in the Small Courtyard assessment, though that would also be bullying everyone.
So, with each of the Small Courtyard's top three paying him a sum of Spirit Source, Jiang Man withdrew from this assessment.
"We're all on the same side. I understand that you need your rankings." Jiang Man accepted the six thousand Spirit Source with a smile.
Three thousand from first place, two thousand from second, and one thousand from third.
Zhuo Bufan, Zhao Yaoyao, and Lin Qingshan were all quite touched.
If Jiang Man had participated, Zhuo Bufan would have lost first place, Zhao Yaoyao would have lost second, and Lin Qingshan would have fallen straight out of the top three.
He needed his ranking to ask his investor for resources too.
"I'm fifth now?" Cao Cheng looked at An Rong scornfully. "Trash who can't even make the top five, and you still claim you have a huge advantage?"
An Rong snorted and thrust out her ample chest. "You're still young. When you're older, you'll understand just how high I stand. You'll never reach it in this lifetime."
No one paid them any attention.
Wei Beichuan was staring at Lin Qingshan.
Previously, Lin Qingshan had teamed up with Jiang Man, which had carried him a considerable distance ahead.
Wei Beichuan had failed to overtake him.
But it would happen soon.
It would soon be his turn to hand over Spirit Source.
