Tenfold Power Amplification, The Demon Suppression Division's Assessment Day!

Lin Feng's mind stirred.

He checked the description of Powerful Shot.

Powerful Shot: Increases the power of fired arrows tenfold, range unchanged.

Lin Feng's heart shook!

Good heavens, this talent was formidable!

The power directly increased tenfold?!

A hint of fervor gleamed in his eyes.

He recalled the second-rank Snake Demon he had killed before.

Back then, he was only at the pitiful Body Tempering Triple Layer, his strength extremely weak.

Now he was at Body Tempering Seventh Level, his power having multiplied many times over!

With a single arrow he loosed now, even without targeting the demon's weak point, he could probably still inflict damage.

Add to that the tenfold power boost from Powerful Shot!

Just how terrifying would one of his arrows be now?!

At the very least, Lin Feng could be certain that ordinary Low-level Houtian martial artists wouldn't dare to withstand one of his arrows—they could only dodge with all their might, or else die!

"Now, if I meet Lu Gang, I don't even need to let him get close. I can just shoot him dead from range with a single arrow," Lin Feng thought to himself.

Just then.

Someone was walking over from a distance.

Lin Feng's keen senses immediately caught it, and he looked over.

The approaching person seemed somewhat familiar to him.

It was someone he had met when he first awakened his Status Panel and came to the training range to practice.

Sergeant Zhang.

He was among the strongest of the sergeants, at Body Tempering Ninth Layer Peak, and looked relatively young, not much older than Lin Feng himself.

As Sergeant Zhang approached now, his face was full of shock.

How was it that after just a few days without seeing him, Lin Feng's strength seemed to have grown so much more?!

From over two hundred paces away, he had directly blasted the target to pieces, and he still had power to spare.

What kind of strength was that?

Could a martial artist in the Body Tempering Realm even shoot such a terrifying arrow?

After walking over, Sergeant Zhang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, it's been a few days, and your strength has grown again."

"With your current ability, at tomorrow's Demon Suppression Division assessment, you're sure to shine brilliantly!"

"I think the Squad Leader position has your name on it!"

For someone like Sergeant Zhang, who was at Body Tempering Ninth Layer Peak.

Participating in the assessment was precisely to compete for the Squad Leader position.

Becoming a Squad Leader meant a higher status and a richer salary.

At the same time, he could take on missions to kill stronger demons and earn Merit Points.

Lin Feng nodded faintly.

Given his own strength, he should be able to become a Squad Leader directly.

The Demon Suppression Division wasn't without precedents of ordinary Constables leaping straight to Squad Leader.

But those were mostly wandering martial artists who had achieved Minor Success in their martial path.

Someone as young as Lin Feng was far too rare!

Of course, Lin Feng wasn't elated by this. His ambitions weren't something a mere Squad Leader could satisfy.

Besides, he still had a hidden enemy, the so-called Captain Zhao.

To become a Captain, one had to be at least at Houtian Sixth Layer or above!

Lin Feng's strength had grown considerably, but if he had to fight a Houtian Sixth Layer right now, he wouldn't stand a chance—he'd be killed instantly!

At that moment, Sergeant Zhang spoke again: "Brother Lin, you're a young genius with limitless potential."

"At tomorrow's Demon Suppression Division assessment, many major powers from Wancheng City will come to watch."

"Among them are the city's martial arts halls and the Four Great Families!"

"One of the main purposes of these people coming to watch the Demon Suppression Division's assessment is to recruit talent."

Hearing this, Lin Feng was taken aback.

He had already joined the Demon Suppression Division—could he still go to other factions?

"I'm a Demon Suppression Guard. If they come to recruit, does the Demon Suppression Division allow it?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

Sergeant Zhang waved his hand and said, "The Demon Suppression Division will naturally agree!"

"Those noble families or martial arts schools recruit people as Guest Elders—just a nominal title, but it grants status and access to cultivation resources."

"Of course, the most important thing is that for those families and schools, having connections within the Demon Suppression Division is crucial!"

"A family or martial arts school with many Guest Elders from the Demon Suppression Division—isn't that a symbol of status?"

Sergeant Zhang's words gave Lin Feng a lot of insight.

As the largest power in Wancheng, the Demon Suppression Division.

It was only natural for all sides to curry favor with it.

Lin Feng's mind began to stir.

He just wanted to get stronger as fast as possible.

If he could secure a Guest Elder position and get generous rewards, why not go for it?

In his view, whether it was the Demon Suppression Division or other forces, they were all paths to power.

The more paths, the faster he could grow stronger.

Then, Lin Feng chatted a bit more with Sergeant Zhang.

This man had arrived at the Demon Suppression Division two years before him and knew a lot about many things.

Lin Feng also wanted to learn some details about tomorrow's assessment.

Time slipped by.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Lin Feng's body jolted as he woke from his bed, light blazing from his eyes.

Today was a big day!

The day of the Demon Suppression Division's assessment!

Important figures from the Demon Suppression Division would arrive, and so would the influential powers within Wancheng!

Lin Feng had no intention of keeping a low profile today.

Because only by securing a top rank would the rewards become increasingly generous.

After chatting with Sergeant Zhang yesterday, Lin Feng's resolve hardened—he had to get a top rank.

Then, after a quick tidy-up, Lin Feng headed out.

The Demon Suppression Division's assessment was held on the Training Ground within the compound.

At that moment.

The Training Ground was already buzzing with noise!

Over half of the Demon Suppression Division's members had already arrived, ready to witness this grand event!

The Demon Suppression Division's assessment was held once a year, and it was arguably the most important day of the year, bar none.

Not all Demon Suppression Guards participated in the assessment.

The assessment was divided into three levels.

Ordinary Constables, Sergeants, and Squad Leaders.

Some people lacked strength—even as Sergeants, they wouldn't sign up, like Hu Biao.

If they joined, they wouldn't place, ending up at the bottom, becoming a laughingstock, and might even get injured.

Only those with decent strength would participate.

Lin Feng had already arrived at the Training Ground.

He swept his gaze around and noticed many unfamiliar faces on the field.

The Wancheng Demon Suppression Division had nearly a thousand members—even someone who'd been here two or three years might not know everyone.

Let alone a newcomer like him, who spent his days immersed in training and knew even fewer people in the Division.

As his eyes scanned, Lin Feng also noticed that among the crowd, some people, just from a distance, gave off an aura of extraordinary strength—they were formidable Martial Artists!

These people were like stars surrounded by the moon, with many gathered around them.

"Are they Houtian Realm Martial Artists?" Lin Feng withdrew his gaze.

Those being surrounded had faint traces of True Qi swirling around them—clearly the mark of a Houtian Realm Martial Artist!

Though they hadn't fought, Lin Feng could already tell that these Houtian Realm Martial Artists were on a completely different level from Lu Gang!

Looking at it that way, a scrub like Lu Gang was barely a half-baked Squad Leader.

Even without upgrading his Archery, Lin Feng could crush him easily.

Of course, as for these Houtian Realm Martial Artists who were stronger than Lu Gang.

Lin Feng felt no fear at all; instead, his fighting spirit blazed.

He gripped the bow in his hand, and a powerful confidence radiated from within!
