Four-star rating?
Damn, I have to be stronger than that Feng Yixuan!
Qin Jun couldn't help but mock, the gap between him and the guy ranked at the bottom of the top 700 must not be big, why should he think that I am not as good as him?
Hmm, after ascending to the throne, I have to consider whether this old guy's official position should be changed.
If Jia Xun knew what he was thinking, he would definitely protest. I just casually mentioned it, and it threatened his future position, unfair!
"How are the star ratings evaluated?" Qin Jun asked calmly.
Jia Xun took a sip of tea and smiled, "It's different for each session, so I'm not sure. Your Highness just needs to maintain the best state."
Qin Jun nodded and then focused on eating his food.
The others did the same, along with the guards, they occupied a total of five tables, each able to seat eight people. Fortunately, there were many such groups, so it didn't attract much attention. Of course, Daji, Xiaoli, and Zhu Yanqing's appearance made many male cultivators sneak glances.
At this moment, seven young cultivators suddenly walked over with wine glasses and came straight to Qin Jun.
"Prince Yue, thank you for your help at the Qingtong Pass earlier. We toast to you," the leader, a young man in yellow, bowed and said with a smile, then drank the wine, followed by the other six young cultivators.
Qin Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and raised his glass to them, saying, "It's just a small matter. If it weren't for your help, I would have been helpless."
He said this sincerely, the cooperation of hundreds of cultivators at the time made him feel like he was acting with a group.
"Haha, Prince Yue, you don't have to be so modest," the young man in yellow laughed, and the other six also smiled and persuaded him.
Just as Qin Jun was about to respond, several other young cultivators came from another direction, also toasting to him for the incident at Qingtong Pass.
This scene made the other cultivators who were not in the know curious, all whispering about who Qin Jun really was.
Today, there were hundreds of cultivators who entered the city with Qin Jun and the others. Although not all of them came to this inn, there were still a small number, which led to this scene.
Zhang Yue on the third floor frowned as he watched, his eyes full of hatred.
Li Yuanba had made him land naked, and this incident had become a shame in his life that he could not forget.
"Yue'er, enduring a moment of humiliation is the key to achieving great things," a gray-haired old man next to Zhang Yue said in a deep voice, with a meaningful tone.
His words made Zhang Yue retract his gaze, looking at Qin Jun's glory, he felt so uncomfortable.
On the other side, at a table of cultivators on the west side of the fourth floor, one of them, a thin man with a large mole on his mouth, marveled, "To reach the Golden Core stage at such a young age, he can be considered a monstrous talent."
"Tsk, Hungry Ghost, you just have limited experience. If he's considered a monstrous talent, what about Jin Wu Hui, who is ranked first on the ranking list? He has already broken through the Void Transformation stage," another fat man with a mouthful of greasy pig's trotters, speaking with a mouthful of oil and even spitting, was disgusting, but the thin man called Hungry Ghost didn't mind.
Hungry Ghost rolled his eyes and said, "Pig King, you have experience, but you still have to hang out with me."
"Tsk, I pity you!"
"It's obviously because you have no friends!"
"You talk as if you have a second friend."
The two of them argued louder and louder, completely disregarding the surrounding diners. If it were anyone else, they would have been driven out by the cultivators, but their status was extraordinary, and the surrounding cultivators not only did not despise them, but looked at them with admiration.
Hungry Ghost and Pig King, although their names were vulgar, they were very famous, both being experts in the Transcendence stage, with unpredictable temperaments, sometimes acting bravely, and sometimes publicly humiliating cultivators.
They were known as the Evil Duo of Fallen Smoke!
Not only the Evil Duo of Fallen Smoke were discussing Qin Jun, but many respected figures were also curious about him.
To be able to receive thanks from so many geniuses, he must be extraordinary.
Qin Jun didn't put on airs with these cultivators, and socialized with them, after all, as a man who would be the emperor in the future, it was also a way to build his reputation by attracting geniuses.
After chatting for half an hour, these young cultivators finally left, and Qin Jun had a good impression of them. At least they were not like Zhang Yue, who immediately inquired about Xiaoli's identity.
Late at night.
Qin Jun returned to his room to rest, as he would participate in the assessment of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Tournament the next day. So he didn't plan to practice, but to rest and prepare for the competition.
The night in Fallen Smoke City was extremely beautiful, with stars seeming to fall at any moment, magnificent.
...
Early the next morning, Qin Jun, Li Yuanba, Qin Yun, and Ye Xuan, led by Jia Xun, left the inn. As for the others, they rested and enjoyed themselves.
There was no need to worry about personal safety in Fallen Smoke City, after all, it was the imperial capital, with excellent public security. At most, there would be harassment, and the cultivators here dared not to kill in the city, because the deterrence of Xu Guiku was too great.
"Your Highness, don't be nervous, the assessment is not just about actual combat power," Jia Xun comforted Qin Yun, who was trembling with nervousness. Qin Jun watched with speechlessness, did you, as a prince, need to be so nervous?
On the contrary, Qin Jun was very excited, eager to compete and dominate!
Okay, it was Li Yuanba who would dominate!
The five of them, including Ye Xuan, followed behind, silent. They were originally full of confidence, but following behind Qin Jun and Li Yuanba, these two monsters, they really couldn't muster any confidence.
"We won't compete with them, let's just do our best to show ourselves!" Ye Xuan reminded, having participated in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Tournament for the second time, his chances of being noticed by the imperial sects were definitely higher, because he was stronger and had previous tournament experience.
Soon, they arrived at the street corner, and Qin Jun was dumbfounded to see a crowded square ahead, filled with the figures of cultivators.
"Watch out! Don't push!"
"Who touched my butt?!"
"So excited! I wonder how many stars I'll get!"
"It's just an assessment, why are you so worked up?"
"Let me tell you, you guys will definitely fail the assessment!"
The square was filled with the clamor of people, as crowded as a football field, packed with cultivators, showing just how many of them there were.
Jia Xun stopped and smiled, "I'll leave you here, do your best!"
Qin Jun waved his hand and led Li Yuanba forward, with Qin Yun following closely behind, gritting his teeth.
The five of them looked at each other and followed suit. In theory, after arriving at Luoyan City, they should have gone their separate ways from Qin Jun and the others. However, they knew that Qin Jun's subordinates were all incredibly strong, so they shamelessly followed along. If it weren't for the fact that they were paying for their own expenses, Qin Jun would have kicked them out long ago.
"Yuanba, clear the way!"
Qin Jun looked ahead at the chaotic crowd and shouted in a deep voice. Beside him, Li Yuanba immediately strode forward with great confidence.
The scene left the five of them speechless. Indeed, following behind Qin Jun and the others was a wise move!
