"There's one more thing. As for Qin Bo, given your outstanding performance in the assessment, you will be promoted to Day Roamer out of turn."

"Day Roamers not only enjoy higher benefits, but can also deploy a certain number of Demon Suppressing Guards to assist in their missions. I hope you will live up to this trust and make greater contributions to the Demon Suppressing Division."

Elder Sun Yu looked at Qin Bo, his eyes full of expectation.

"Thank you for the kindness of Elder Sun and the other elders. Qin Bo will do his best."

Qin Bo clasped his fist in salute, secretly resolving in his heart that he must play a greater role in this new position.

With this appointment, all the newcomers looked at Qin Bo's position in shock.

A murmur immediately arose in the crowd, with envy, amazement, and a hint of jealousy.

"Qin Bo was directly promoted to Day Roamer out of turn. That's amazing!"

"Yeah, we're still just Demon Suppressing Guards, and he's already a level above us. His future is limitless."

"Hmph, maybe he's just lucky. Let's see if he can continue to be so successful in the future."

Various voices reached Qin Bo's ears, but he didn't care. At this moment, his mind was full of plans and determination for the future.

Elder Sun Yu waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said:

"Alright, everyone, stop discussing. This is an opportunity that Qin Bo has won with his own strength. I hope the rest of you can also work hard to improve yourselves and contribute more to the Demon Suppressing Division. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Elder, I'm not convinced. Why can he be promoted to Day Roamer?!"

At this moment, a sharp voice rang out.

Qin Bo looked up and saw a rugged-looking man walking out.

This man was tall and sturdy, with a face full of fierce flesh, and at this moment he was staring at Qin Bo with an angry expression.

Elder Sun Yu frowned slightly and looked at the man, asking, "Zhao Hu, what are you unconvinced about?"

Zhao Hu took a step forward and said loudly:

"Elder, I also passed this assessment smoothly, and I believe that my strength is not inferior to Qin Bo. Why can he be promoted to Day Roamer out of turn, while I can only be an ordinary Demon Suppressing Guard?"

"Oh, you think your strength is not inferior to Qin Bo??"

"Yes, in this assessment, I have already broken through to the third level of Body Refining, the Bone Forging Realm, which is much stronger than ordinary formal disciples."

Zhao Hu puffed out his chest, his eyes full of conceit.

Elder Sun Yu's expression was calm, and he said lightly, "Zhao Hu, what do you want to do?"

"Simple, since we are both martial artists, of course we should see the truth under our hands!"

As Zhao Hu spoke, he looked at Qin Bo and cracked his knuckles at him, the meaning self-evident.

And Elder Sun was helpless.

He looked at Qin Bo.

"Young Qin, what do you think?!"

Qin Bo grinned and smiled.

"I have a habit, which is to cure all kinds of dissatisfaction. Since someone is not convinced, then I will beat him until he is!"

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll give Zhao Hu a chance. As long as you can defeat Qin Bo, you can be the Day Roamer!"

As soon as Elder Sun Yu said this, there was an uproar around him.

Everyone didn't expect Elder Sun Yu to give such a bet, which undoubtedly made this sparring match more intense and critical.

Then Elder Sun said.

"What the Demon Suppressing Division needs is this kind of spirit of daring to fight. Anyone who is not convinced can solve it with force."

"You two, come up to the stage!"

With that, Qin Bo and Zhao Hu jumped onto the ring.

They clasped their fists at each other, while Zhao Hu had a provocative look on his face.

"Remember, sparring between fellow disciples, do not use deadly moves, just touch and stop."

The two nodded, indicating they understood.

And Qin Bo was stunned, because he heard Elder Sun's voice again.

"Kid, show mercy! This Zhao Hu is as fierce as his name suggests."

"But his heart is not bad. He is a distant nephew of Director Zhao Ting, and Director Zhao has already sacrificed himself. He is also trying to protect the Demon Suppressing Division."

Qin Bo nodded secretly in his heart, understanding Elder Sun Yu's meaning.

He remained calm on the surface, his eyes fixed on Zhao Hu.

But in his heart, he was thinking about how to show his strength so that Zhao Hu would be convinced, without being too heavy-handed.

"Hmph, Qin Bo, today I will let you know that not everyone can easily obtain the position of Day Roamer!"

Zhao Hu roared and launched an attack first.

He stomped his feet, rushing towards Qin Bo like a cannonball.

The thick arm was raised high, the tightly clenched fist bringing a whooshing sound as it smashed towards Qin Bo's head.

This punch was powerful and heavy; if it hit, his skull would probably shatter.

"Forget it, let's just settle this quickly!"

Qin Bo thought that only strength could convince them.

His vital energy circulated instantly, and his whole body erupted with a red glow.

Zhao Hu was shocked to see this.

"You... you've broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm?"

"You guessed right, but no prize!"

Qin Bo grinned, and taking advantage of Zhao Hu's distraction, he moved like lightning, instantly closing the distance.

He used the Tiger Roar Fist that he hadn't yet mastered, making it look awkward.

But he was stronger than Zhao Hu, and his right fist, wrapped in surging vital energy, turned into an afterimage, heading straight for Zhao Hu's face.

Zhao Hu was horrified. In a hurry, he wanted to dodge, but Qin Bo's punch was too fast and the angle was extremely tricky. He only had time to turn his head slightly.

Qin Bo's fist brushed past Zhao Hu's cheek, the powerful fist wind cutting his skin painfully, and a trickle of blood slid down his cheek.

"So... so fast!"

Zhao Hu was shocked. He originally thought that after breaking through to the Bone Forging Realm, he would be more than enough to deal with Qin Bo.

But he didn't expect that Qin Bo had also broken through, and his strength seemed to be even greater than he had imagined.

"Take this!"

Zhao Hu was unwilling to give in. He roared, his vital energy surging, and the muscles on his body bulged high, as if they had instantly expanded a circle.

He used his best move, the Mountain Splitting Fist.

This fist technique was known for its fierce and domineering nature. When a fist was thrown, it faintly had the momentum of a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking.

Qin Bo smiled slightly, neither dodging nor avoiding.

He also raised his hand again and threw a punch.

The two fists collided.

"BOOM!"

A figure flew straight out and crashed into the crowd.

The figure that was knocked away was Zhao Hu.

He crashed heavily into the crowd, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The surrounding Demon Suppressing Division disciples retreated, revealing shocked expressions.

Zhao Hu struggled to get up, but felt a sharp pain in his chest.

His throat tasted sweet, and a mouthful of blood couldn't help but spurt out.

He looked at Qin Bo in disbelief, his eyes full of unwillingness and astonishment.

He never expected that the Mountain Splitting Fist he had used with all his strength would be so easily defeated head-on by Qin Bo.

Qin Bo stood firmly in place, his expression calm.

Although his punch just now seemed easy, it actually consumed a lot of vital energy.

He had not fully mastered the Tiger Roar Fist, and when he used it, he could not exert the full power of this martial skill.

He had just relied on his own powerful strength after the breakthrough to repel Zhao Hu.

"I lost!"
