I have a martial arts panel.

Can the assessment level be changed?

At this moment, the young man who received the blue and gray cards perked up his ears again.

"After that, we will conduct an assessment every three months."

Wei Changqing said, "The assessment is very simple; it's a one-on-one practical battle. Each holder of a lower-level token will have one chance to challenge a holder of a higher-level token. If they win, the challenger and the challenged will exchange tokens. Details regarding the challenge will be announced later."

"A challenge, perhaps..."

Xu Ning thought about it for a moment.

According to Wei Changqing, as a holder of a green badge, a holder of a gray badge can challenge him. If he fails, his treatment will be adjusted to gray badge.

At the same time, you also have the opportunity to challenge those holding yellow cards, and if you succeed, your treatment will also be upgraded to a yellow card.

However, Xu Ning felt that the rules were not very fair at the beginning.

Because some high-level card holders may not be very strong in terms of immediate combat ability, but they are young and have great potential, so they get blue cards or even yellow cards.

These people will surely become frequent targets of challenge in the future.

In fact, Xu Ning's reasoning was correct.

At this point, some people had already turned their attention to the younger holders of yellow and blue cards.

"Moreover, once this testing method is implemented, conflicts of interest among these newcomers will be inevitable, and they will never be able to get along harmoniously. It may even exacerbate the situation of forming cliques."

Xu Ning also saw another impact this had.

When a low-level badge holder makes a challenge, they will not challenge members of their own group, but only members of other groups.

As external conflicts intensify, the tendency for internal groups to band together will increase.

"It seems that the Black Armor Guard recruited us newcomers not only to integrate us into the local community, but also to become the core of the community and to divide other forces... Although the Black Armor Guard is powerful enough to directly command all parties in Kangyun County, their methods of handling relationships with these parties are clearly more sophisticated..."

Xu Ning was well aware that he and his companions might just be pawns in a game, but fortunately, the benefits they gained were real.

"The third thing I want to talk about."

Wei Changqing raised his voice: "Everyone, I hope that after you obtain the resources, you can also study diligently while performing your duties and fully display your talents."

"As you all know, the Black Armor Guards are backed by the Yuansheng Sect... According to the sect's instructions, within three years, Kangyun County will have one spot to enter the sect, and that spot will be chosen from among you."

A spot to enter the Yuansheng Sect?

Xu Ning was taken aback; this was the first time he had heard of this matter.

This matter was not mentioned in the previous selection and assessment notice.

But at this moment, Xu Ning also noticed that some people had very calm expressions, such as Tao Qingyuan, Tao Jin, and Tan Fengying from Tan Family Village. It was obvious that they knew about this beforehand.

"It seems the higher-ups at the top of the management team are aware of this, but it hasn't spread widely..."

Xu Ning understood immediately: "Yuansheng Sect, the martial arts holy land of Feiyun Prefecture, I must also fight for this spot..."

"I have finished explaining the three things."

Wei Changqing began to wrap things up: "From now on, the affairs of the new camp will be fully handled by Commandant Qu."

At this moment, the short, stocky guard in black armor who had been in charge stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute to Wei Changqing, and said, "Yes, sir."

Wei Changqing nodded and led his men away from the training ground.

At this moment, only the Commandant of Naqu remained on the platform.

"Tomorrow, I will post your work locations on notice boards. Please pay attention to them. Once you know your work locations, report there within three days. Remember to bring your name tags."

Commandant Qu waved his hand: "Alright, disperse."

After Commandant Qu left, the crowd dispersed.

"The Black Armor Guard is, after all, an important position; it seems I still have to fulfill my responsibilities..."

Xu Ning didn't need to specialize in training, so he didn't find doing chores a big deal.

Tao Qingyuan, Tao Jin, and others were somewhat resistant, as doing chores would inevitably interfere with their study time.

However, they knew this beforehand, but for the sake of the Black Armor Guards' resources and the opportunity to enter the Origin Sect in the future, they still chose to join.

……

A few days have passed.

Kangyun County, Fengliu Lane.

Xu Ning arrived here with his blue token and identification information.

Maple Willow Lane, Black Armor Guard Post Station—this is where Xu Ning was assigned.

Although Fengliu Lane is called a lane, it is actually an area located in the southeast of Kangyun County. It covers a considerable area and includes several bustling streets.

Currently, there are 6,000 city guards in Kangyun County. These city guards are ordinary martial artists who have practiced external skills or have only average internal skills, and they have little potential.

In addition, there are four hundred Black Armor Guards, one hundred of whom are new recruits.

In Kangyun County, there are sixteen Black Armor Guard posts and three camps.

These sixteen Black Armor Guard posts vary in size and number of personnel. The Maple Willow Lane Black Armor Guard Post that Xu Ning was assigned to, although it was a large area, had fewer than ten Black Armor Guards stationed there.

Of these new recruits, one-third were left at the new camp to stand guard and patrol.

The remaining two-thirds, like Xu Ning, were assigned to guard posts.

However, what puzzled Xu Ning was that while everyone else was assigned to the post station in groups of three to five, he was the only one reporting alone.

"Sir, could you tell me where the Black Armor Guard Post Station is in Maple Willow Lane?"

Xu Ning didn't know the exact location, so he could only ask an old man selling candied hawthorns on the street for directions.

At this moment, Xu Ning had already received the equipment of the Black Armor Guards.

He was dressed in all black, wearing light black armor, with a brand-new long sword at his waist, and a blue badge and a black armor guard's waist badge attached to his waist.

The old man recognized Xu Ning's identity as a Black Armor Guard at a glance, and quickly pointed out the way: "Sir, the Black Armor Guard Post in Maple Willow Lane is just across this street, and you'll find it by walking south along the river."

The old man was clearly a little nervous.

Xu Ning frowned slightly and thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much, sir."

Xu Ning turned and left.

As Xu Ning walked along the road, he noticed that wherever he went, pedestrians would give way, and some would even stop and wait for him to pass before continuing on their way.

Some vendors lowered their voices as soon as I got close.

Everyone looked at him with fear and a hint of reverence.

"It seems the Black Armor Guards' dominance in Kangyun County has taken deep root in the hearts of the people..."

Xu Ning was still a little unaccustomed to it, but he was slowly trying to accept it.

Following the directions given by the old man, Xu Ning quickly found the Black Armor Guard Post Station in Maple Willow Lane.

From the outside, the black-armored guard post looked like a small government office.

The gate of the post station was open, surrounded by a wall, and two city guards stood at the entrance.

Xu Ning had just walked over and hadn't even spoken when one of the city guards approached him: "May I ask, sir, is your surname Xu?"

"Yes, my name is Xu Ning."

Xu Ning responded directly.

The city guard said respectfully, "Lord Xu, Captain Chen said that once you arrive, he will take you directly in to see him."

Xu Ning understood.

It seems that news of my arrival at the Weiyi Post Station in Fengliu Lane has already reached here ahead of schedule.

Thank you for your trouble.

Xu Ning said politely.

The city guard looked flattered and quickly said, "You're too kind, sir."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly and led Xu Ning into the post station.

Upon entering the post station, Xu Ning saw a large tree, over twenty meters tall, planted in the courtyard.

In addition, there are various flowers and plants on display, making it look like a flower shop at first glance.

"The environment is nice..."

Xu Ning said something.

"This was all arranged by Commandant Chen."

The city guard leading the way responded with a smile.

Xu Ning nodded.

It seems that the garrison post in Fengliu Lane doesn't have many tasks on a regular basis, otherwise the person in charge here, Captain Chen, wouldn't have had the leisure to arrange things here.

After crossing the courtyard, the city guards led Xu Ning to the backyard, where they stopped in front of a room.

"Lord Xu, Captain Chen is on duty here. Please come in."

"That's what the city guard said."

Xu Ning thanked him, straightened his clothes, walked forward, and knocked on the door.
