Ignorance of Heaven and Earth, The Strongest Two in the Assessment!

Lin Feng voiced his thoughts.

It was better to ask about something like this in advance.

With his Iron Shirt having reached the third layer, Lin Feng was supremely confident that he could surpass every Squad Leader taking part in the assessment!

At the very least, Lin Feng was brimming with confidence when it came to the Bronze Man Formation!

The moment Lin Feng said this, a slight uproar swept through the crowd.

Countless Demon Suppression Guards looked at Lin Feng with strange expressions in their eyes!

"Has this kid gone mad?!"

"A mere ordinary Constable actually asked such a stupid question. How did he even get into the Demon Suppression Guards?!"

"If he can last longer than a Houtian Realm Martial Artist, I'll stand on my head and eat shit!"

Quite a few Demon Suppression Guards mocked him aloud, all treating Lin Feng as a fool.

Let alone an ordinary Constable like him.

Even Squad Leaders were vastly stronger than Sergeants.

The Body Tempering Realm and the Houtian Realm were two entirely different levels!

At this moment, it was not only those who did not know Lin Feng.

Even people who knew something of his strength, such as Hu Biao and Sergeant Zhang, were utterly astonished, wondering whether Lin Feng had taken the wrong medicine to say something like that.

From the sound of it, he wanted to compete with a group of Houtian Realm Martial Artists?!

If he had merely wanted to compete with those Sergeants, there would not have been such an uproar...

Some of the Squad Leaders before the Bronze Man Formation frowned, their indifferent gazes sweeping over Lin Feng.

They did not say much, but their eyes said it all.

They simply thought he was overestimating himself, with his eyes set high but his hands incapable of reaching.

Meanwhile, on the raised platform, those few important figures were also taken aback.

The heads of the Four Great Families and the master of the Black Tiger Martial Arts School all smiled, looking as though they were enjoying a show.

The reason these important figures had come today was to see whether there were any promising talents among the Squad Leaders worth nurturing.

Then recruit them.

Or see whether there were any young Sergeants worth cultivating.

As for ordinary Constables, they paid them no heed at all, treating them as air.

Yet now, an ordinary Constable had drawn their attention with earth-shattering words.

Of the Three Captains, Captain Zhao still wore a genial smile, unconcerned on the surface while sneering inwardly.

Captain Xu's expression darkened, True Qi surging around him. He felt that Lin Feng was causing trouble and needed to be taught a lesson.

Captain Chen held Captain Xu back, then looked down at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice:

"If you truly can hold on longer—longer even than these Houtian Realm Martial Artists—"

"Then 500 True Qi Pills, three Second-tier Weapons, and one Third-grade Martial Art will be yours! It's just that..."

He did not finish what he was about to say, but everyone understood what he meant.

Clearly, there was no way he could do it!

The Demon Suppression Division had never seen such a thing before.

An ordinary Constable surpassing the top-ranked member of the Squad Leader group in an assessment?

A fantasy from the heavens.

Below, Lin Feng's eyes erupted with a fierce gleam upon hearing this.

With that, his motivation became boundless.

When it was his turn to take the assessment, he would spare no cost to surpass those Houtian Realm Martial Artists!

"Thank you, Captain Chen." Lin Feng expressed his thanks, then said no more.

Quite a few Demon Suppression Guards around him kept glancing over from time to time, all thinking Lin Feng had gotten hotheaded as they discussed him aloud.

Captain Chen waved a hand, unconcerned by this minor interlude.

At this moment, he looked toward the Bronze Man Formation below.

"In ten breaths' time, all of you will enter the Bronze Man Formation together!"

"Yes!"

The thirteen Squad Leaders nodded. Each was utterly focused, their lightning-sharp gazes fixed on the bronze men.

On the raised platform.

Captain Chen spoke to Captain Xu beside him:

"If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching the author instead. Maybe it was just renamed!"

"That kid has decent potential. Asking that question, he's probably trying to give himself more motivation."

Captain Xu snorted coldly. "He simply doesn't know the height of heaven or the depth of earth! A Body Tempering Realm Martial Artist wants to compare himself to a Houtian Realm Martial Artist?"

Captain Zhao said with a chuckle, "Young people should still have dreams."

Just then.

Ten breaths had passed.

The thirteen Houtian Realm Martial Artists below moved in unison, darting into the Bronze Man Formation in an instant.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Each figure left an afterimage where they had stood.

The moment the thirteen entered the Bronze Man Formation—

The Bronze Men, which had seemed like statues, came alive in an instant, as though life had been breathed into them.

Every Bronze Man now resembled a grim guard, brimming with a murderous aura.

With heavy yet swift steps, they advanced on those challenging the formation.

Like war drums, their footsteps boomed—thud, thud, thud—shaking the earth and striking terror into the heart.

The hundred-plus Bronze Men were not mindless. Instead, they surrounded and attacked the Squad Leaders in orderly waves.

Every Squad Leader faced the simultaneous siege of at least eight Bronze Men!

Battle was on the verge of erupting.

Terrifying True Qi surged through the Bronze Man Formation.

At the start, the Bronze Men were only at the Body Tempering Sixth Level.

Thus, to these Squad Leaders, their strength was quite ordinary and amounted to nothing.

Almost every punch sent one flying.

Of course, no matter how hard they struck, they could not break through the Bronze Men's defenses.

After being sent flying, the Bronze Men instantly got back up. Like living people, they launched another attack on the Houtian Realm Martial Artists.

Again and again!

The surrounding Demon Suppression Guards, as well as those Demon Suppression Guards participating in the assessment, were all dumbstruck, exclaiming in amazement.

As expected of Houtian Realm Martial Artists!

The Houtian Realm Martial Artists who could come to take the assessment all possessed tremendous potential and extraordinary combat strength!

The techniques they displayed while facing the Bronze Men's siege were exceptionally skillful as well, well worth learning from.

Very soon.

Sixty breaths passed.

Not a single Squad Leader had been eliminated.

And at this moment, the Bronze Men's strength changed.

From the Body Tempering Sixth Level, they rose to the Body Tempering Seventh Level!

Upon the High Platform.

Captain Xu's expression eased somewhat. He nodded and said, "Not bad. These thirteen Squad Leaders are all under thirty, with immense cultivation potential! Their combat performance is quite impressive too. They will be the pillars of the Wancheng Demon Suppression Division in the future."

Captain Zhao said with a smile, "Who do you two think will last until the end?"

Hearing this, Captain Xu answered without hesitation, "It will definitely be Jiang Deyun! He cultivates the second-grade body-refining martial art, the Iron Armor Skill. He has cultivated it for a long time and has already reached Minor Success! I hear he isn't far from Great Success either."

In Captain Xu's view, only someone with exceptionally strong defense could endure until the end.

Captain Chen, beside him, said, "I think Qin Bang has the greatest chance! He cultivates the Spirit Snake Lightness Skill. His movement is like a snake's, making it difficult for the Bronze Men to get close."

The two captains each had their own thoughts.

The two men they mentioned were also the strongest among the Squad Leaders taking this assessment. Both were at the Second Level of the Houtian Realm.

As everyone talked.

More time passed.

By this point, every Bronze Man had reached the Eighth Level of Body Tempering!

In a one-on-one fight, Houtian Realm Martial Artists basically had nothing to fear.

But there were simply too many of them.

Every Squad Leader had to face more than eight Bronze Men.

And these Bronze Men were extremely troublesome—one either had to send them flying or evade them.

As time passed, many Squad Leaders had begun to tire.

Before long.

Two figures were sent flying with a bang, like kites with broken strings!

"If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching the author instead. Maybe it was just renamed!"
