74 Chapter 74: The Assessment Has Been Pushed Forward?
"Huff...." He Yi Ming opened his eyes and assess his current condition.
His cultivation was very stable without any sort of wobbliness.
As soon as he obtains a Foundation Establishing Pill, he could breakthrough and step into the Foundation Realm!
"Now then, I need to refine some Spirit Weapons and pills. Now that I think about it, some of the Spirit Herbs brought back by the players I have never seen before so I need to check that out too...also I need to see how the players are doing and if they got any new surprises for me..."
"I still have 20 days until the end-of-month assessment, I should still have time to do a few more Northern Expedition, at that point, the Spirit Stone Vein should be dug clean..."
"I should have all the material needed to refine the Spirit Ascension Pill when the Spirit Herbs in the Spirit Field matures. Then I can add that to the Exchange Shop too!"
"The monthly assessment is going to be a breeze!"
....
He Yi Ming thought to himself, feeling the bright future ahead of him!
Compared to when he just entered this desolate wasteland alone, which was basically starting a game on impossible mode, his current situation was so much better!
As soon as He Yi Ming walked out of his chamber, a player that was clearly waiting for him hurriedly rush up to him.
"Master, someone said he was looking for you. He said his name was Wang Ping and he came from Heaven Academy!"
"!" Hearing this, He Yi Ming's heart skip a beat.
Why did Wang Ping come here at this time?
Shouldn't he be coming at the end of the month?
Wang Ping was an overseer of the Heaven Academy, whose task was to assess and monitor the new Sect Master.
Originally, Wang Ping was supposed to come here at the end of the month and take him to Heaven Academy for the assessment!
Could it be that...
He Yi Ming suppressed his anxiety and walk out of the sect hall.
At this time on the sect square, the elder Wang Ping was looking at the players with a bewildered expression.
"Wow, it's a new NPC!"
"This old man looks so strong, I wonder who's stronger, him or Master!"
"Did you guys see this guy's mount? Holy shit, what a big bird! POG!"
"This NPC came to see Master, is this the start of a new quest?"
"It can't be, right? The Northern Expedition just ended and we're getting a whole new event? Holy crap!"
"It's entirely possible, after all, they just release the first-ever maintenance! F***, my stocks of ramens are about to run out, I need to buy more ASAP!"
....
The players rudely surrounded the elder Wang Ping, chattering all about.
"? ? ?" Right now, Wang Ping was very confused.
Isn't the desolate lands uninhabited?
Where did all of these disrespectful little guys come from?
"Skill Tower, Forging Hall, Training Field..." Wang Ping looked around and naturally saw all of the new buildings in the sect, this made him even more shocked.
In just ten days.
He Yi Ming not only rebuilt the ruined sect but he even somehow recruited 88 disciples?
The only problem is...
"The cultivation of these disciples isn't very stable and they don't even have the fundamental down..."
"That disciple is actually eating skewers? These guys even opened a night market on the sect square? How uncultured!"
"What are these disciples even wearing? Mortal Tools? And they're even self-made? How unsightly!"
"Why...why is that disciple's head so flat? How hideous!"
...
Wang Ping glanced around and was surprised to find out that all of these disciples' aptitudes are poor to the extreme, not a single one of them had any Special Talent or Physique.
Especially the disciple with the flattened head, his face was simply unsightly.
But after giving it some more thought, he shouldn't have found this too surprising.
"I should have seen this coming...this was the desolate land, finding a person willing to join the sect was already a blessing...it seems that He Yi Ming allowed anyone who wanted to join the sect!" In Wang Ping's eyes, all of these players are no better than trash!
If this was anywhere else, not even the weakest sect will accept any of them as disciples!
If they just lack talent that might have been fine, but every single one of them is so uncultured! At a glance, Wang Ping can see that the players are just beginning to cultivate, they are truly the beginner among the beginners, the noob among noobs, the trash among the trashes!
"He Yi Ming, your days are numbered!" Wang Ping silently felt sorry for He Yi Ming.
Because there was a change to the Heaven Academy monthly assessment!
"Senior Wang Ping, what brought you here?" At this time, He Yi Ming just came over and quickly ask.
"He Yi Ming, I'm here to inform you..."
"Due to some circumstances, the Heaven Academy Monthly Assessment has been pushed ahead of schedule! You have only one day to prepare. Tomorrow, you'll choose four disciples to bring with you back to Heaven Academy!" Wang Ping suppresses the pity he felt toward He Yi Ming and calmly conveyed his mission.
"The assessment is ahead of schedule? Why? Heaven Academy's first round of assessments is always after a month! And more crucially, why is it twenty days ahead of schedule? This is way too strange!" He Yi Ming's face sank.
The worst-case scenario happened!
Even if he had the system, he had only founded the sect for ten days!
Originally, if everything was going according to schedule, he still have twenty days left, which was more than enough time for the players' strength to further improve!
In the meantime, he could even teach them various basic knowledge, common sense, manners, etc.
Most crucially he could have received 20 days' worth of login rewards!
Hence, the first round of the monthly assessment should have been a complete breeze!
But now...
Wang Ping suddenly appeared and notified him that the date of the assessment has been pushed forward?
He Yi Ming turned around and looked at the surrounding players.
Among the players, not a single one of them was in the Spirit Realm!
How could he possibly make it through the first round of assessment?
"Senior Wang Ping, I understand!" He Yi Ming understood that there was nothing he could do.
He Yi Ming knew that all of Heaven Academy's top ten graduates except himself had either a strong backing or a strong background.
It was almost certain that as soon as they graduated from Heaven Academy, their backing will immediately arrange for them to take over a pre-prepared sect.
The disciple they had are all peoples who have been cultivating for years or decades and not like his who had only been cultivating for ten days!
Starting from scratch, he only had ten days to build his sect!
Ten days vs ten years!
The gap was just too enormous!
"Sigh...He Yi Ming go prepared yourself!" Wang Ping sighed, but he couldn't tell He Yi Ming the truth.
Rumor has it, that the vice president of Heaven Academy was behind why the monthly assessment has been pushed forward.
And the Vice President of Heaven Academy was Gu Feng's grandfather.
Gu Feng on the other hand, was the ranked second graduate this year, a gen 3 who was brutally stomped by He Yi Ming! Wang Ping has personally experienced the resentment he had toward He Yi Ming.
Wang Ping didn't even need to guess to know that it was Gu Feng who proposed to his grandfather to conduct the assessment in advance.
His goal was to not give He Yi Ming any time to develop at all, that is, to crush any hope of He Yi Ming making any sort of come back!
Wang Ping leaps into the air and found a high place to rest before sitting cross-legged and closing his eye.
He Yi Ming frowned, at this time all he could think about was...
Who should he choose?
Who should he bring to participate in this very crucial assessment?
