Hu Biao sighed softly.

He looked at the Bronze Man Formation with a trace of fear in his eyes.

He had also been young and reckless, signing up for the assessment, wanting to achieve something in it.

To obtain resources and strengthen his power.

At that time, the assessment for his batch was to challenge the Bronze Man Formation.

The Bronze Man Formation was created by some formation masters from the Demon Suppression Division.

Once placed in position, each bronze man would seem to establish a connection, and then the bronze men would come alive, possessing combat power.

Hu Biao explained, "The combat power of these bronze men is not terrifying at first."

"The strength of each bronze man is initially around Body Tempering Sixth Level!"

"However, as the formation runs for longer, the bronze men's combat power will grow stronger and stronger, and after a certain period, they will even possess Houtian Realm combat strength!"

"Moreover, the bronze men's defense is extremely strong. Even if the Three Captains were to attack, it would take time to shatter them. It's impossible for others to shatter the bronze men."

"Therefore, to pass the Bronze Man Formation, the most crucial thing is to defend against the bronze men's attacks with all your might. The longer you persist, the higher your score will be."

Hu Biao looked at Lin Feng, hesitating to speak.

He naturally knew where Lin Feng's strength came from – his invincible archery skill, Hundred Paces Through Willow.

If the assessment were a different category, Lin Feng's archery skill would shine brilliantly.

But for the Bronze Man Formation assessment, archery was useless!

Even if Lin Feng shot the arrows until they exploded, he couldn't stop the Bronze Man Formation's attacks.

The requirements for the Demon Suppression Guard's own defensive capabilities were too high!

Lin Feng had only recently joined and hadn't even practiced many martial arts.

Moreover, Hu Biao knew very well that in such a short time, even if Lin Feng had practiced body-related martial arts, his progress wouldn't be significant.

Whether he could even grasp the basics was a question.

Under these circumstances, how long could he last after entering the Bronze Man Formation?

"So that's how it is."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed.

Beside him, Hu Biao patted Lin Feng's shoulder and said, "Little brother, don't be too discouraged. The Bronze Man Formation assessment is very unfriendly to Archers, and your realm is low, so it's hard to last long."

"But don't worry! The Demon Suppression Division's assessments happen every year, and the assessment criteria will change! You can wait until next year."

At this moment, Hu Biao was like a friendly older brother, educating Lin Feng and even comforting him.

He knew that young people had high aspirations, and if their assessment results were poor, they might become dejected, making it difficult to progress on their martial path.

That's why he spoke to advise Lin Feng to let go of his inner burden.

However, Hu Biao had no idea how much Lin Feng's strength had improved in just a few days.

At this moment, Lin Feng's heart rate accelerated slightly.

His gaze was fervent as he looked at the Bronze Man Formation being set up.

According to Hu Biao, once one entered the Bronze Man Formation, these bronze men would actively attack them.

The bronze men's defense was terrifyingly strong; even the Three Captains found it difficult to damage them.

This also meant that the bronze men's attack power was very strong!

The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more he felt that the Bronze Man Formation was tailor-made for him.

After his Iron Shirt reached level 4, the required Proficiency to upgrade further was too high.

Having ordinary Martial Artists, like Hu Biao's level, train him would result in extremely slow progress.

Each attack would even only add a little Proficiency.

Lin Feng needed training from stronger opponents!

He was struggling to find someone to help him train his Iron Shirt.

He hadn't expected to find the Bronze Man Formation here!

"Bronze Man Formation, don't disappoint me!"

Lin Feng's eyes flickered. He only hoped that this Bronze Man Formation would allow his Iron Shirt to directly break through to level 5!

At this moment.

More than half of the Demon Suppression Guards on the field had grim expressions.

Clearly, they were very unsuited for assessments like the Bronze Man Formation.

Whether they used bows and arrows or those who wielded sabers and axes, generally speaking, they didn't pay much attention to their own physical techniques.

Many Demon Suppression Guards thought that the best defense was offense, so they rarely practiced martial arts related to physical techniques.

Even if they practiced, it was only at a mediocre level, unlike Lin Feng, who had cultivated his Iron Shirt to the unprecedented third layer!

"Damn it! Why is the assessment this time the Bronze Man Formation?! I thought it would still be a draw for combat!"

"I've been diligently practicing my saber techniques for this day, aiming to secure a ranking in the assessment, but why are the enemies this time bronze men!"

"It's slightly better for those Squad Leaders who have reached the Houtian Realm to face the Bronze Man Formation. How can we in the Body Tempering Realm fight it?"

Many people wore bitter expressions.

For Body Tempering Realm Martial Artists, the bronze men were like undying demons.

They couldn't resist their attacks at all.

At the same time, all their offensive methods would have no effect on the bronze men.

If they wanted to last a little longer, there was only one way.

That was to dodge!

Some Demon Suppression Guards who had practiced movement techniques well looked slightly better.

Those who had practiced movement techniques well could also last quite a while.

Of course, those with ugly expressions and wailing were mostly ordinary Constables, or some low-ranking Squad Leaders.

Those powerful Squad Leaders felt alright, like Sergeant Zhang and Squad Leader Li, whom Lin Feng had encountered before.

Especially the Squad Leaders!

Squad Leaders were all Houtian Realm Martial Artists, possessing true qi.

And their level was high, allowing them to cultivate more martial arts.

Whether it was movement techniques or body techniques, they had dabbled in them, and even practiced them well.

In the Bronze Man Formation, they could completely last longer!

On the high platform.

The Three Captains listened to the wailing from below, their expressions varied.

Captain Zhao smiled faintly and said, "It seems this assessment has caught these people off guard. Perhaps many won't last ten breaths."

Captain Chen frowned slightly and said, "This kind of assessment, in the end, only restricts the weak, not the strong! How many of those Squad Leaders who have reached the Houtian Realm will be afraid?"

"Instead, those low-level Demon Suppression Guards are trembling in fear, which is simply a disgrace to the Demon Suppression Division."

Captain Chen spoke with a bit of disappointment.

Captain Zhao chuckled, "Captain Chen doesn't need to be too angry. Regardless, they are all Demon Suppression Guards who have contributed to the Demon Suppression Division."

Then Captain Zhao turned his head and looked to the side, "What does Captain Xu think?"

Captain Xu appeared taciturn and said indifferently, "Recently, there have been more and more demons and monsters nearby. These low-level Demon Suppression Guards are not worth keeping."

Captain Zhao smiled slightly, said nothing further, and scanned his surroundings.

He was looking for his subordinate, Lu Gang.

After looking around, he couldn't find him.

Captain Zhao's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Then, a smile appeared on his face, and he began to discuss matters with the people from the Four Great Families and the Black Tiger Martial Arts School beside him.

A moment passed.

The center of the Training Ground was already filled with bronze figures.

A rough estimate showed more than a hundred of them!
