The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 7 Witnessing the Rise of a Prodigy
The number of people in the sixth courtyard is increasing.

Fang Yong once again became the center of attention and was sought after by everyone.

Thus, Jiang Man was able to enter the sixth courtyard smoothly.

Not long after, Zhao Leming arrived.

Upon entering, he immediately addressed the people below with a stern face: "Stand according to your ranking."

The group began to adjust their positions.

Divided into two columns.

Jiang Man did not make a move.

Because he was in last place.

Soon a man stood next to him.

A plump figure.

Jiang Man was quite envious.

How much do you have to eat to get that plump?

Their family must be wealthy.

"Jiang Man, thank goodness you're here, otherwise I would have been at the bottom, and my family would definitely not have let me off the hook." The other person said with a smile, looking relieved. After a pause, he asked curiously, "You don't smell bad anymore?"

Gao Yao, the chubby guy, is at the bottom of the class, just like Jiang Man.

Jiang Man was somewhat dull and slow-witted at the time, while the other party simply didn't want to cultivate and had limited talent.

"What are we going to do today?" Jiang Man asked.

Upon hearing this, the chubby boy looked at Jiang Man with some surprise: "You're actually interested now? You never showed any interest before."

Before Jiang Man could make an excuse, the chubby boy continued, "It's almost September, time to start planning for the second half of the year's cultivation."

Let's also take a look at who is qualified to compete for the Mist Cloud Sect's assessment qualification.

There are two spots available in the sixth courtyard; it's highly likely they'll go to Fang Yong and Luo Xuan.

As he spoke, he looked at the two people at the front with a hint of envy.

Jiang Man followed the other person's gaze and looked over.

One was the spirited Fang Yong, and the other was a woman who seemed serene and otherworldly.

With her beautiful face and splendid attire, it was clear at a glance that she was not from a village.

Therefore, it is reasonable to start from the beginning.

The family is wealthy and has ample resources.

They've already won more than half the battle.

With a little more effort and a bit more talent, they can leave those from the villages far behind.

To catch up, you need to put in many times more effort, plus extraordinary talent.

Such people are few and far between.

"However, none of this concerns us. As the last and second to last, we are not scheduled to participate in the assessment, and we don't even have a cultivation plan," the chubby boy said.

This sentence completely stunned Jiang Man.

Does this mean they don't even qualify to participate in the competition?
Fortunately, I have done business with Mr. Zhao before, so there should still be a chance.

Jiang Man confirmed that he was ranked twenty-sixth.

The last place in the courtyard.

Little Fatty is twenty-five, second to last.

I am very grateful to Jiang Man for helping him to be at the bottom.

"We've always been good friends. Whether I can go back and get beaten less often depends entirely on you," Little Fatty said earnestly to Jiang Man.

Jiang Man: "."

The ship of friendship is probably about to capsize.

"You should all be aware of the rankings. If you want to compete for a spot, you have more than three months. The final list will be released in December."

It cannot be changed at that time.

Even if the qualified person dies, the quota will not be transferred.

So in these last few months, we should work hard and give it our all.

If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get another chance, no matter how hard you try.

You should think this through carefully.

Afterwards, Mr. Zhao handed out a sheet of paper to each person, listing the pros and cons of each ranking.

He then approached Jiang Man and the chubby boy.

After giving Jiang Man a deep look, he calmly said, "Come with me."

Some people are curious about this, but they don't think much about it.

Zhao Leming first met with Jiang Man alone.

"Do you understand the situation today?" he asked, sitting at his desk in the room.

Jiang Man bowed respectfully: "Understood."

"Any ideas?" Zhao Leming asked casually, picking up a book.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Man said truthfully, "I would also like to try to participate in the assessment and competition."

Zhao Leming raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jiang Man, then calmly said, "According to the rules of Qingyun Pavilion, you should not be qualified to compete for the assessment."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Jiang Man understood that they wanted to see if what he had brought out was useful.

If it's useless, then that's just the rule.

"Usefulness is about rules being rigid, but people being flexible." Jiang Man then took out something hidden in his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of the other person.

The latter picked up the book unhurriedly.

After a moment, he slowly closed the book and said:

"According to the rules of Qingyun Pavilion, you are indeed not qualified to compete."

However, rules are rules, and it would be inhumane to let them stifle your enthusiasm.

I understand that your spiritual practice is not easy, and you are eager to compete for the last spot.

Then I'll make an exception for you.

The example has been set, but it still depends on whether you are willing to participate in the competition.

If you want to participate, you'll have to follow the arrangements of the Sixth Courtyard and participate in the daily cultivation assessments.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man immediately replied, "I am willing."

Afterwards, Zhao Leming met with the chubby Gao Yao alone, following the normal procedure.

Not long after, Gao Yao came out with a bitter face.

Looking at Jiang Man, he sighed heavily: "We agreed to give up together, how come you suddenly changed your mind? But my talent is higher than yours, you're still at the bottom."

As they left, each of them held a piece of paper in their hand.

It contained information about them.

The content above Jiang Man is the simplest.

August 17th.

Yunqiansi: Qingyun Pavilion.

Backyard: Sixth Courtyard.

Name: Jiang Man.

Rank: 26 (out of 26).

Cultivation: None.

Level of cultivation technique: None.

Resources obtained: "Simplified Qi Refining Method" and "Divine Speed ​​Step".

Plan: Practice the Qi Refining Method thirty times every day.

Score: 0.

Comment: Needs improvement.

Only thirty times? You're underestimating me.

"It's better to have the destiny of a peerless genius," Jiang Man thought to himself.

At this moment, Gao Yao secretly glanced at Jiang Man's comments and immediately said with some dissatisfaction, "Why is yours 'needs improvement' while mine is 'utterly stupid'?"

Jiang Man: "."

Perhaps I slipped her a treasure.

They had barely returned to the courtyard when the others looked over.

They were somewhat surprised to catch a glimpse of the papers in their hands.

Surprisingly, these two people who were ranked last are also going to compete for qualification.

The chubby boy was a little embarrassed.

"I always feel like they're laughing at us," Little Fatty nudged Jiang Man gently.

"Your feeling is right," Jiang Man answered in his heart.

But he didn't care.

The chick knows the ambition of the swan.

Soon they will witness the rise of an unparalleled genius.

However, they soon began to cultivate.

At this time, he was also distracted by other people's affairs.

That would be wasting a great opportunity.

Didn't you see that Fang Yong and Luo Xuan didn't even turn their heads?

Immediately, Jiang Man also began cultivating.

He continued to practice the Qi cultivation method.

Let's see when we can reach the ninth level.

After reaching the ninth level, you can further improve your cultivation.

Therefore, this should be the best choice.

However, he also glanced at the chubby boy's papers.

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 1.

So he was the only ordinary person in the whole class.

"As long as we all follow the plan, you'll definitely be at the bottom when the new papers are distributed after the assessment next month," the chubby boy said with a smile.

Jiang Man smiled politely.

After that, he practiced the Qi Refining Method.

Thirty times is not enough; he wants to practice it a hundred times before going back.
