"The Dragon God Shrine not only needs people with great strength but also great intelligence. An inspector who can't coordinate and solve all kinds of disputes won't be able to be put in an important position no matter how powerful he is. For example, I was demoted when the East Ocean Dragon Clan and the West Ocean Dragon Clan started a war near East Ocean City, "Su Han wiped her mouth with a napkin and said after finishing her instant noodles.
Hao Ren knew that the conflict between the East Ocean Dragon Clan and the West Ocean Dragon Clan couldn't be solved by Su Han alone. However, since Su Han couldn't control the situation, she had to take responsibility for the Dragon God Shrine.
"Are there different levels of inspectors?" Hao Ren asked.
"There are five types of inspectors. The lowest is the assisting inspector, and their term is one year. They have to be re-evaluated every year, so they are just temporary inspectors. They can help the official inspectors complete some tasks, but they are not qualified to enter the Dragon God Shrine. The term of the official inspectors is ten years, and they have to be re-evaluated every ten years. Among the official inspectors, there are four levels, patrolling inspectors, and regional inspectors according to their duties. Qin Shaoyang and I used to be level 4 inspectors, but due to this incident, I was demoted to a level 3 inspector, and my authority in the Dragon God Shrine is greatly reduced," Su Han said.
"Oh …" Hao Ren understood a bit.
Assisting inspectors were like temporary workers in the Dragon God Shrine. They didn't have an official position, and they couldn't enter the Dragon God Shrine. Also, they couldn't access the resources of the Dragon God Shrine. The only benefit was that they could train themselves and familiarize themselves with the inspector system.
Even so, there were still a lot of dragon cultivators who wanted to become assisting inspectors. After all, becoming an assisting inspector meant that they were one step closer to becoming an official inspector. Especially in the selection of inspectors, they would have more or less an advantage.
Being an official inspector wasn't a carefree life, and they couldn't take the once-in-a-decade assessment lightly. Qian-level and Kun-level masters like Su Han were easy to deal with. However, some young cultivators who barely became official inspectors at Dui-level might be replaced by stronger cultivators if they were still at Dui-level after ten years.
Su Han's demotion from level 4 to level 3 didn't just mean a reduction in benefits but also a loss of face!
One could imagine how arrogant Qin Shaoyang was when he was one level higher than Su Han! In the past, he wouldn't have dared to provoke her. After all, he couldn't handle her anger!
Now, he could stay in East Ocean City safely because he was one level higher than Su Han!
Even though there were only four levels of Inspectors, there were only four levels of Inspectors!
Qin Shaoyang's rank was higher, and he was one of the two official inspectors in East Ocean City. No matter how one looked at it, Qin Shaoyang was the chief inspector, and Su Han was the deputy inspector.
How could Su Han allow Qin Shaoyang to take over her territory? How could she yield to Qin Shaoyang? That was why she wanted to kick Qin Shaoyang out again!
"Qin Shaoyang is a level 4 inspector. If it were in the past, he would definitely have some ways to disqualify you from the Dragon God Shrine's general exams. However, we still have a killer move, "Su Han continued.
"Killer move?" Hao Ren was confused.
"Yes, we have his natal dharma treasure, so he doesn't dare to act recklessly." Su Han nodded.
Hao Ren wasn't used to hearing the word "we". Su Han, who had always been a loner, had never used such words.
Hao Ren knew the importance of natal dharma treasures. Natal dharma treasures had a certain connection with the cultivator's mind. That was why the cultivator could control them at will, unleash the greatest power of the dharma treasure, and take it into their own body.
Because of this, if a cultivator's Soul-Tethered Talisman was taken by someone else, then not only would they lose a powerful talisman, they would also lose a part of their cultivation to someone else.
As long as the Natal Magic Treasure was destroyed, it was equivalent to destroying the mind of the Magic Treasure's owner. It was enough to greatly damage the Magic Treasure's owner's cultivation. If the Magic Treasure's owner happened to be in danger or in a fierce battle, the sudden damage to his mind could even take his life!
That was why Qin Shaoyang didn't dare to do anything to Hao Ren's participation in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams!
Otherwise, as a level 4 inspector, which was one level higher than Su Han, he could cancel Su Han's recommendation to the Dragon God Shrine!
"His natal dharma treasure is with me. If he dares to do anything, I can destroy it at any time. However, I can only maintain it until the Dragon God Shrine's general exams, "Su Han said in a low voice.
"Why?" Hao Ren asked immediately.
"Because … Qin Shaoyang is the chief examiner this time," Su Han said lightly.
"Huh?" Hao Ren was surprised.
"Every time, 16 level 4 inspectors will be responsible for the combat exams at the Dragon God Shrine. Qin Shaoyang and I are both level 4 inspectors. We used to be the chief examiners for this year's general exams, but I've been demoted by one level, so I can't be the chief examiner anymore."
Su Han paused and continued, "However, Qin Shaoyang is still the chief examiner, and he is responsible for judging the results and maintaining the order in the exam room. The chief examiner must have his own natal dharma treasure, and I don't want our conflict to escalate to the level of the Dragon God Shrine. Therefore, I have to return his natal dharma treasure to him."
"Ok …" Hao Ren nodded slowly. What Su Han could do was the limit. After being demoted from a level 4 inspector to a level 3 inspector, Su Han sounded helpless.
If Su Han was the chief examiner, Hao Ren would have a great advantage as her assisting inspector. Now, Su Han could only hope that Hao Ren wouldn't fall into the area that Qin Shaoyang was responsible for.
"Let's not waste time. Let's try to pass the written exam first." Taking a deep breath, Su Han opened her Sumeru Ring and took out a 'thick' codex from it.
This codex was 30 centimeters thick and 80 centimeters wide, and it was scarier than any huge dictionary that Hao Ren had ever seen!
"You still have four days. Memorize this codex," Su Han said lightly.
"A … manual!"
Hao Ren almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It was true that he had a superb memory, and after cultivating, his photographic memory became even better. However, could this still be called a manual?
"Everything related to inspectors, big or small, is in here. This is the scope of the written exam," Su Han said.
"Is there anything important?" Hao Ren asked, hoping that he could get lucky.
"No." Su Han shook her head.
Seeing Hao Ren's disappointment, Su Han added, "The Inspector's Action Manual is sealed with a special array formation. Every time you turn a page, a page will disappear. In other words, you can only read it once. So, it's the same whether I give it to you earlier or later. In fact, it's better to read it when it's close to the exam. "
Hao Ren looked at Su Han speechlessly, thinking, "You're being nice to me. Only the Dragon God Shrine could come up with such a perverted exam method. "
At this thought, Hao Ren asked Su Han, "Do you know everything in this manual?"
Su Han shook her head.
"Ugh …" Hao Ren asked immediately, "Then, how did you pass it?"
Su Han thought for a moment and answered seriously, "I forgot."
"Ugh …" Hao Ren was completely speechless and admired Su Han.
"I'll read it with you. Starting from today, we'll read a quarter of it every day for the next four nights. We'll try to finish it by Friday," Su Han said.
Hao Ren looked at Su Han and nodded. He had no other way out. Becoming an inspector would be beneficial to himself, Su Han, and the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
On second thought, having a beauty like Su Han to study with him overnight was something that many guys couldn't get even if they kowtowed and burned incense.
If this news spread to the school, even Zhou Liren would want to kill Hao Ren immediately.
"I'll go change into my pajamas and take a shower. If you know how to make supper, you can go and prepare some." Su Han stood up from the sofa and walked to her bedroom.
In the past, she had never thought that she would stay overnight with a man. But now, her fate was tied to this man who was only at Gen-level!
As long as Hao Ren could get into the top ten of the general exams, she would have a way to transfer him to East Ocean City and push Qin Shaoyang out of the top ten!
As long as she could get rid of Qin Shaoyang, she could continue to cultivate in peace and charge toward peak Qian-level!
Unknowingly, Su Han had already bet her future on Hao Ren!
Su Han had never cared so much about a man's success or failure, and she had never tried her best to help a man improve!
For Hao Ren, she was even willing to put aside her cultivation for the past few days. If it were in the past, it would have been unimaginable!
When Su Han went to change into her pajamas and Hao Ren went to the kitchen to prepare supper, Xie Yujia, who was staying in her dorm room, suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello?" Xie Yujia picked up the phone.
"Are you Xie Yujia?" A rude voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Oh, it's me." Xie Yujia walked to the balcony of her dorm room with the phone in her hand. "Are you Zi?"
"Humph!" The crisp voice on the other side of the phone paused for half a second. "Uncle said that if he wanted to go to Fifth Heaven, he should look for you. Where did he go? "
"I don't know where he went. But are you going to Fifth Heaven? "Xie Yujia asked her.
"Little White is at your place. I'll be at the gate of your school in half an hour. I've already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, so of course, I have to cultivate hard, unlike you! Humph! "
The other side of the phone hung up with a click.
Standing on the balcony, Xie Yujia was a little angry. However, she thought about it and decided to let it go since it was Hao Ren's order to take care of Zhao Yanzi.
"But … where did Hao Ren go?" Xie Yujia looked up at the moon in confusion.
