Andrew Warren flung it to the ground in one swift motion. Even though he knew his Crushing Stone Spear had already shattered its internal organs, he still mounted it and rained his fists down hard on the wolf’s head.

After several punches, the Furious Mountain Wolf’s face was completely unrecognizable!

“It’s enough, it’s already dead!”

At this moment, the proctor constable finally entered the enclosure, pulled Andrew Warren off, checked the Furious Mountain Wolf, and said to him.

“It’s dead?”

Andrew Warren still looked shaken.

The proctor constable nodded with a smile, secretly marveling at Andrew Warren’s luck, and said, “Yes, go wait outside. The results will be out soon.”

“Alright, alright!”

Andrew Warren’s face lit up with joy as he walked out of the enclosure.

He walked over to his companions, and immediately a group of people praised his luck, saying he managed to kill the Furious Mountain Wolf by sheer accident.

Not a single person thought he had actually defeated the Furious Mountain Wolf with real skill.

Even Eric Clark curled his lips and said he just got lucky.

This reaction from everyone was exactly what Andrew Warren had expected.

He had done it on purpose, making everyone think he had just gotten lucky to achieve such a result.

To have the strength to kill a Furious Mountain Wolf after only a few days of martial arts training would be too shocking.

Hiding his true strength and ‘improving’ step by step under others’ eyes was the real way to go.

Several proctor constables gathered together, whispering to decide the final rankings for the test.

The enclosure in the arena had already been dismantled by the servants, and the Furious Mountain Wolves that weren’t dead were put back into their cages.

Before long, the proctor constables dispersed.

Only one constable remained in the arena, responsible for presiding over the entire appointment test.

He held a thin sheet of paper in his hand, listing the final rankings of the candidate constables.

“From now on, everyone whose name I call is ranked in the top ten of the appointment test and can stay at the Nanping Prefecture Office to serve as an official constable!”

As soon as the presiding constable finished speaking, all the murmurs below ceased.

The whole place fell silent.

All the young men’s eyes were fixed on him, waiting for the rankings to be announced.

Most people had a rough idea of how they had performed.

Andrew Warren lowered his brows, appearing serious, but in fact, he didn’t care much inside.

There was no way he wouldn’t make the top ten.

Just as he expected.

The presiding constable soon read out Andrew Warren’s name. After reading out ten names in a row, he continued, “Finally, the top three of this appointment test.

First, Charles Ford, assigned as Captain of the Seventh Squad of Nanping Prefecture; second, Paul Johnson, awarded a Ghost-Slaying Broadsword…” At this point, he paused slightly.

His gaze swept across the arena, lingering briefly on Andrew Warren, and a slight smile appeared on his tense face: “Third, Andrew Warren, awarded fifty taels of silver!”

When Andrew Warren was looked at, his heart skipped a beat.

He thought something had gone wrong with his expected third place, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

A big smile immediately appeared on his face.

Chapter 10: The Cultivator

“Not bad, Andrew Warren.”

“You have to treat us, you must treat us!”

“That’s right, Andrew Warren.

We’ll be working as constables in different county offices, so it’ll be hard to meet up in the future.

Now that we’re about to part ways, shouldn’t you, our rich man, show some generosity?”

The fifty taels of silver, sealed in red cloth, were handed to Andrew Warren.

Seeing that heavy red packet, all his colleagues’ eyes turned red with envy, and they all spoke up.

Andrew Warren knew there was no avoiding treating everyone, so he waved his hand boldly: “Alright!

I’ll book a table at Changfu Tavern later, you all must come!”

Among these colleagues, two or three made it into the top ten, while the rest would be assigned to various county offices.

Even though he would be working at the Nanping Prefecture Office, he would rarely interact with the county offices, but forming some connections with them could always come in handy in the future.

Changfu Tavern was right on the main street in front of his house and was famous across seven or eight nearby streets.

A table of dishes there was lavish, but at most cost two taels of silver.

Treating them there wouldn’t seem stingy, and was also quite economical.

Hearing this, everyone felt very comforted, nodded in agreement, and praised Andrew Warren again.

Hiding in the corner, Emily Thompson looked at the packet of silver in Andrew Warren’s hand, his eyes red with jealousy.

His eyes darted about, and just as he was about to stir up the crowd to get Andrew Warren to treat everyone at Wangjiang Tower, he heard Eric Clark scold Andrew Warren: “You just got some reward silver and you’re already thinking of wasting it!

Hurry up and take the silver home. Tomorrow I’ll ask your elders—if they haven’t seen this fifty taels, just see how I deal with you!”

Andrew Warren quickly smiled apologetically and winked at Second Grandpa Cui: “Second Grandpa, we’re going to eat at Changfu Tavern at noon, will you come?”

He changed the subject directly.

Normally, Eric Clark would have given him another round of scolding, but seeing everyone in high spirits, he didn’t want to dampen the mood of these young men. He snorted and laughed, saying, “I won’t go.

Andrew Warren, just this once—don’t go squandering your silver just because you got a bit of a reward!”

“Alright, alright!

Don’t worry, Second Grandpa!”

Andrew Warren nodded repeatedly, laughing along with his colleagues.

Thus, Emily Thompson had no way to get Andrew Warren to treat everyone at Wangjiang Tower.

Wangjiang Tower was the number one restaurant in Nanping Prefecture.

A single table there would cost at least fifty taels.
