The sixth courtyard was getting more and more crowded.
Fang Yong once again beca the center of attention, receiving everyone's admiration.
This allowed Jiang Man to smoothly enter the sixth courtyard.
Not long after, Zhao Leming arrived.
As soon as he entered, he sternly addressed the people below: "Line up according to your rankings."
Everyone began adjusting their positions.
They ford two columns.
Jiang Man didn't move.
Because he was ranked last.
Soon, a man stood beside him.
His figure was plump.
Jiang Man felt quite envious.
How much did one have to eat to achieve such roundness?
His family must be wealthy.
"Jiang Man, thank goodness for you, otherwise I'd be at the bottom. My family definitely wouldn't let
off easy," the other person said cheerfully, looking relieved. After a pause, he asked curiously, "You don't sll anymore?"
Gao Yao, the little fatty, belonged to the bottom ranks just like Jiang Man.
Jiang Man had been sowhat dull and sluggish before, while the other simply didn't want to cultivate and had limited talent.
"What's happening today?" Jiang Man asked.
Hearing this, the little fatty looked at Jiang Man with surprise: "You're actually interested now? Before, you had zero interest."
Before Jiang Man could co up with an excuse, the little fatty continued: "It's almost September, they're going to arrange the cultivation schedule for the second half of the year.
They'll also see who qualifies to compete for the Mist Cloud Sect assessnt spots.
The sixth courtyard has two spots, and it's almost certainly going to be Fang Yong and Luo Xuan."
As he spoke, he looked toward the two people at the front with so envy.
Jiang Man also followed his gaze.
One was the high-spirited Fang Yong, and the other was a calm woman who seed detached from worldly affairs.
With her beautiful features and exquisite clothing, it was obvious she wasn't from a village background.
Thus, them taking the top spots seed quite reasonable.
Coming from wealthy families with sufficient resources.
They had already won more than half the battle.
With so effort and good talent, they could leave those from villages like them far behind.
To catch up would require multiple tis the effort, plus extraordinary talent.
And such people were few and far between.
"But this has nothing to do with us. As the last and second-to-last place, we're not scheduled to participate in the assessnt, we don't even get cultivation plans," the little fatty said.
This statent completely stunned Jiang Man.
They didn't even have the qualification to participate in the competition?
Fortunately, he had made a deal with Teacher Zhao, so there should still be a chance.
Jiang Man confird that his ranking was twenty-sixth.
The last place in the courtyard.
Little Fatty was twenty-fifth, second-to-last.
He had always been grateful to Jiang Man for covering the bottom spot for him.
"As long as we stay like this, whether I get beaten less when I go ho depends entirely on you," Little Fatty said seriously to Jiang Man.
Jiang Man: "..."
The boat of friendship was probably about to capsize.
"You should all know your rankings by now. If you want to compete for qualifications, you have just over three months. The list will be finalized in December.
Once set, it cannot be changed.
Even if soone with qualification dies, the spot won't be passed down.
So in these final months, work hard if you need to work hard, go all out if you need to go all out.
If you miss this opportunity, no matter how hard you try later, you won't get another chance like this.
Think carefully about this."
Afterwards, Teacher Zhao handed out a piece of paper to each person, detailing the advantages and disadvantages of each ranking.
Then, he ca to Jiang Man and Little Fatty.
After giving Jiang Man a deep look, he said calmly: "You two, co with ."
So people were curious about this but didn't think too much about it.
Zhao Leming first t with Jiang Man alone.
"Do you understand today's situation?" he asked from behind his desk in the room.
Jiang Man bowed respectfully: "I understand."
"Any thoughts?" Zhao Leming casually picked up a book and asked.
Jiang Man thought for a mont and answered truthfully: "I also want to try competing for the assessnt qualification."
Zhao Leming raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Man, saying calmly: "According to Azure Cloud Pavilion regulations, you probably don't qualify to compete for the assessnt."
Hearing this, Jiang Man understood that this was to see if what he could offer would be useful.
If useless, then the regulations would stand as they were.
If useful, then regulations were dead but people were flexible.
Then Jiang Man took out what he had hidden in his robe and placed it on the desk, pushing it toward the other person.
The latter unhurriedly picked up the book.
After a mont, he slowly closed the book and said:
"According to Azure Cloud Pavilion rules, you indeed don't qualify to compete.
But rules are dead, and if we eliminate your initiative because of rules, that would be sowhat inhumane.
Considering your cultivation isn't easy, and you're determined to compete for the final spots.
I'll make a special exception for you.
The exception is made, but it still depends on whether you're willing to participate in the competition.
If you participate, you must follow the sixth courtyard's arrangents and participate in daily cultivation assessnts."
Hearing this, Jiang Man imdiately said: "I'm willing."
Afterwards, Zhao Leming followed the normal procedure and t alone with Little Fatty Gao Yao.
Not long after, Gao Yao ca out with a bitter expression.
Looking at Jiang Man, he sighed heavily: "We agreed to give up together, why did you suddenly change your mind? But my talent is higher than yours, so you'll still be at the bottom."
When they left, each held a piece of paper.
It detailed their situations.
Jiang Man's contained the simplest content.
