Chapter 369: 214. The Daily Life of a Serious Demon Cultivator

“People should have dreams, but they shouldn’t always talk in their sleep,” Dongdong kindly reminded, wondering if all Demon Cultivators were this confident?

However, the girl quickly realized that someone had appeared beside her.

It was clearly that confident Demon Cultivator.

Thus, she stretched out a fair and delicate little hand to pass over a token that resembled a death-summoning order because it was the proof needed for the trial evaluation.

“The highest is a third-class evaluation?” Tan Shuchang took the token, flipped it, and after not seeing anything unusual, he asked the girl.

His words undoubtedly stunned her.

So, Dongdong cast a wooden glance at Tan Shuchang, a silent plea for the Demon Cultivator to stop the nonsense here.

Seeing this, Tan Shuchang finally had to accept the sobering fact that his trial evaluation was abysmally low, before stuffing the token back to the girl and took another token from her for himself.

Looking unsatisfied at the third-class evaluation written on the token, Tan Shuchang took out his own ink and brush, erased the character for “third” and beside it wrote “first.”

Then, with satisfaction, Tan Shuchang nodded his head.

Out in the world, whatever achievements you have, they can be self-assigned.

And his falsification wasn’t without reason; he’d discovered that the two tokens didn’t have anything special about them, being made of ordinary bamboo.

Furthermore, the ink used on them wasn’t as good as the kind he usually used.

After all, Tan Someone had once been the leader of Sacred Gate; the ink he used was not a Spiritual Object, but it was still top-tier among mortals.

“Will this work?” Dongdong didn’t mind her evaluation being taken by the Demon Cultivator.

“Let’s try and see.”

Tan Shuchang wasn’t certain either.

He looked towards a group of people ahead of him. These people had been there for a while; before he came over, they had already gathered in a cluster.

In the center was a table. Sitting behind the table was one person, with two others standing behind him. All three were men.

The nearly twenty people gathered around this table were about half men, half women.

Each one held a token, with characters like “third-low,” “third-middle,” “third-high” written on them.

“Looks like the two of us are at the bottom!” Dongdong glanced over as well.

“Nonsense, you’re at the bottom, I’m first-class,” Tan Shuchang completely disagreed, after all, he had just amended it!

Dongdong gave the Demon Cultivator a sidelong glance at these words but said nothing, her eyes signaling–I might believe you, but will they?

Tan Shuchang met the girl’s gaze, then proudly strode forward.

Approaching the table, the three men behind it continued to announce something akin to a tally: “Zhang Luo, third-low evaluation, seven mistakes, blessed by fortune to survive, awarded two points of karmic merit.”

“Li Wuzhou, third-high evaluation, two mistakes, deeply blessed, awarded twelve points of karmic merit.”

“Chen Butong, third-middle evaluation, four mistakes, lucky with fate, twice escaped death, awarded seven points of karmic merit.”

Different evaluations had different sayings, and naturally, the quantity of karmic merit gained varied. Those who received the “third-high” evaluation and twelve points of karmic merit were all excited.

As for those who got “third-middle” evaluations, though regretful, they didn’t feel too down.

Only those with “third-low” evaluations showed utter anguish, wishing they could punch themselves.

After all, the merit earned from a third-low evaluation was just a fraction of that from third-high. Even those completely unaware of the facts could tell the difference from the numbers alone.

As people received their respective karmic merits and started dispersing, a token was placed on the table.

“First-class!”

Someone glanced over reflexively and was instantly shocked.

To achieve this rating, one needed not just to kill an evil Ghost King but also find out the cause of its existence!

Accomplishing these two feats was undoubtedly extremely difficult; as far as they knew, not even the students from Phoenix Tree Mountain, powerful enough to make Ghost Kings retreat, had managed to get a first-class evaluation!

“Have a closer look!” With this exclamation, the others too turned their gaze, and in an instant, they were startled, for a first-class evaluation was incredibly shocking. But in the next second, they reacted and looked oddly at the person who had presented the token.

Because this so-called first-class evaluation was far too counterfeit.

“You’ve really got some nerve!” At this point, the man seated behind the table couldn’t help but say to Tan Shuchang with amusement twinkling in his eyes, “Do you realize these ratings are given by the Ghost King? By altering it, you’ve shown you don’t take the Ghost King seriously at all! And you know what kind of punishment that invites, or do I need to spell it out for you?” The man watched Tan Shuchang as if he were looking at a dead man.

Tan Shuchang heard this, and while he truly didn’t regard the Ghost King, being a man of pragmatism, he returned the token to a girl who had approached.

As he took back his own “third-low” rated token, he explained, “This is hers, not mine. This one is mine.”
