First Place's Belonging, Recruiting at Great Cost!

Bang! Bang!

Two figures crashed heavily onto the ground.

The two Squad Leaders' faces darkened as they looked at the Bronze Man Formation, their hearts still pounding with residual fear.

They were both covered in many injuries.

As martial artists at the Houtian Realm First Layer, even with True Qi protecting them, they were no match for the Bronze Men's astonishing defense.

They could handle it for a short while, but not for long!

Especially when the Bronze Men's combat power reached Body Tempering Eighth Layer, and more than eight Bronze Men attacked in an orderly fashion.

It was already more than they could bear.

The two Squad Leaders sighed softly and retreated back into the ranks.

Seeing this, the surrounding Demon Suppression Guards wore grave expressions.

If the Body Tempering Eighth Layer Bronze Men were already unbearable, then what about the Bronze Men at Body Tempering Ninth Layer?

However, not much time passed. Just ten breaths later.

Another six people were blasted out by the Bronze Men!

The reason was simple.

After some were eliminated, the remaining Bronze Men were free.

The extra Bronze Men naturally went to surround the Squad Leaders who were still in the fight.

Therefore, the fewer people there were, the greater the pressure on the remaining ones!

Another ten breaths passed.

Three more Squad Leaders were eliminated!

Among them, there was even one at the Houtian Realm Second Layer.

However, due to his mediocre Body Tempering and movement techniques, he was clearly overwhelmed when facing more Bronze Men in a siege.

By now.

Only two people remained within the Bronze Man Formation.

They were the strongest two mentioned by the two Captains: Jiang Deyun and Qin Bang.

However, when only two people were left in the Bronze Man Formation.

The pressure they endured was immense.

It was equivalent to one person simultaneously withstanding the attacks of over fifty Bronze Men!

After all, they were at Body Tempering Eighth Layer, and these were Bronze Men who were tireless and practically uninjurious.

Although Qin Bang and Jiang Deyun were the strongest.

They were already covered in sweat and didn't look like they could hold on for much longer!

The two looked at each other, gritting their teeth and persevering.

For them, the real battle now was against each other!

Whoever could win first place would receive extremely generous rewards!

The rewards for first and second place were worlds apart!

Having come this far, they had to secure first place.

"The Bronze Men are getting stronger, already at Body Tempering Eighth Layer!"

"This is too difficult, over fifty Bronze Men surrounding one person, and they're unkillable!"

The many Demon Suppression Guards watching widened their eyes in observation.

Meanwhile, the Squad Leaders who were about to undergo the assessment wore solemn expressions.

These Bronze Men were incredibly strong and extremely troublesome.

When it was their turn to be assessed, how long could they last?

Even these Houtian Realm martial artists found it difficult to persevere!

Amidst the crowd, Lin Feng's expression remained calm.

For others, the Body Tempering Eighth Layer Bronze Men were very troublesome and difficult to endure.

But in Lin Feng's eyes, it seemed ordinary!

He made a deduction and concluded that these Body Tempering Eighth Layer Bronze Men couldn't harm him.

He wondered what the strength of the Body Tempering Ninth Layer Bronze Men would be.

Just then.

As time passed, the Bronze Men grew stronger again!

From Body Tempering Eighth Layer to Body Tempering Ninth Layer!

Before, Qin Bang and Jiang Deyun could still barely resist using their movement techniques and physical combat skills.

However, once the Bronze Man's realm reached Body Tempering Ninth Layer, it was a qualitative leap!

Suddenly, the Bronze Man's attacks became incredibly swift!

Boom, boom, boom!

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe they just changed their name!

Within the Bronze Man Formation, the sounds of steel clashing were incessant.

Each Bronze Man swung its fists, attacking the two of them.

On the high platform.

Captain Xu said slowly, "Once the Bronze Man's realm reaches Body Tempering Ninth Layer, these two won't last long!"

"Jiang Deyun can still hold on for a while with his physical combat skills, but Qin Bang will be eliminated soon!"

After speaking, Captain Xu looked at Captain Chen beside him and said, "Old Chen, I calculated this correctly, didn't I?"

Captain Chen remained silent, merely nodding slightly.

They were looking down from a height, with a wide field of vision.

They all knew the current situation.

In the Bronze Man Formation below, Qin Bang, who cultivated the Spirit Snake Lightness Skill, was increasingly unable to hold on.

When there were fewer Bronze Men, he could still cope.

But now, Qin Bang alone had to defend against the attacks of over fifty Bronze Men.

His movement technique could no longer resist.

Many of the Bronze Men's heavy punches landed fiercely on Qin Bang's body.

Qin Bang had not cultivated any body-tempering martial arts; relying solely on True Qi to protect himself, he couldn't last long!

As expected.

Ten breaths later, Qin Bang's speed slowed, and he swayed precariously.

Just then, three Bronze Men attacked together, smashing hard into Qin Bang's back.

With a poof, Qin Bang coughed up a mouthful of blood and could no longer hold on.

Then, he was blasted out of the Bronze Man Formation.

On the other hand, Jiang Deyun.

He had given up dodging and stood his ground, crossing his arms over his chest, his True Qi surging.

The heavy punches of countless Bronze Men struck him, making sounds like iron being struck.

Although Jiang Deyun's condition was much better than Qin Bang's, after Qin Bang was eliminated.

Over a hundred Bronze Men in the entire arena attacked him relentlessly.

Even though he cultivated the Second Order body-tempering martial art, the Iron Armor Skill, he couldn't hold on for too long.

Another ten breaths later.

Jiang Deyun also couldn't hold on and was blasted away by the Bronze Men.

However, his condition was much better than Qin Bang's; he didn't vomit blood.

He merely fell to the ground, looking somewhat disheveled.

At this moment, Jiang Deyun didn't care about that; instead, excitement flashed in his eyes.

"I won! I won!!"

"The first place in this assessment is mine!"

He couldn't help but roar, his excitement uncontrollable!

After all, just thinking about the rewards for first place in the assessment made his body tremble with excitement!

500 True Qi Pills, three Second Order weapons, and one Third-grade Martial Art!

These rewards were enough for him to become very strong, improving by two levels!

Beside him, the other Squad Leaders who had been eliminated earlier looked on with sighs.

Especially Qin Bang, who came in second, sighed endlessly.

What a pity, just a little bit short!

The surrounding Demon Suppression Guards erupted in exclamations.

"Jiang Deyun won!"

"Hiss, he's too strong! His Iron Armor Skill is like an immovable mountain, able to withstand so many Bronze Man attacks for so long!"

"Alas, I think there was some luck involved too. Jiang Deyun's strength might not be stronger than Qin Bang's, but he primarily cultivates body-tempering martial arts, giving him an advantage!"

The many Demon Suppression Guards were in an uproar.

Everyone knew Jiang Deyun would only grow stronger in the future.

After all, with so many cultivation resources, even a pig would become much stronger.

Let alone a martial artist like Jiang Deyun, who also possessed some talent.

On the high platform.

The heads of the Four Great Families and the Martial Arts Hall Director all had a glint in their eyes.

Neither Jiang Deyun nor Qin Bang were over thirty, and their martial arts potential was still considerable.

Given them some resources, and they might become powerhouses at the Captain level!

They were materials worth cultivating!

At this moment, the heads of the Four Great Families and Director Black Tiger remained silent.

But they had secretly decided to pay a great price to have Jiang Deyun serve as a guest elder!
