Seeing this scene.
Lin Feng was delighted.
The proficiency gain wasn't much. Each time a Bronze Man attacked him, he only gained 2 proficiency points.
Back when he trained in the Scripture Pavilion, striking his body with a Meteor Hammer had earned him 5 points each time.
The attacks of a Body Tempering Sixth Level Bronze Man couldn't even compare to being struck by a Meteor Hammer or a Wolf Tooth Club!
But...
The Bronze Men attacked at an incredibly high frequency!
He stood still as every Bronze Man hammered him with its fists.
At that moment, there were fourteen Bronze Men surrounding Lin Feng.
In other words, his Iron Shirt proficiency was increasing by at least 100 points every second!
Watching the proficiency on the Status Panel skyrocket, intense anticipation appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.
As expected.
Using the Bronze Man Formation to temper his Iron Shirt and increase its proficiency—
it was the best method!
He remained motionless, wondering what talent he would gain when his Iron Shirt reached the next level.
He didn't know how much it would enhance his combat strength.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng remained calm inside the Bronze Man Formation.
But the other ordinary Constables were another story.
They could no longer hold out inside the formation.
Even ordinary Constables at Body Tempering Seventh Level, whose strength was comparable to some Squad Leaders,
had already been beaten out by the Bronze Men.
Only Lin Feng remained in the Bronze Man Formation!
Now that Lin Feng was alone inside, he stood out conspicuously.
After all, it was clear he had taken first place among the ordinary Constables.
As a Demon Suppression Guard with great potential, he drew plenty of attention.
"I never thought there'd be someone among the Constables who could last this long."
"This Constable at Body Tempering Seventh Level is a lot stronger than others at the same level!"
"It's fine. He probably won't last much longer! Everyone else is out, so over a hundred Bronze Men will attack him!"
The Demon Suppression Guards watching from around the formation chattered among themselves.
They weren't particularly surprised that Lin Feng had lasted this long.
His strength spoke for itself. So what if he lasted a little longer?
He still couldn't compare with the Squad Leaders and Squad Leaders.
What's more, now that Lin Feng was the only one left, over a hundred Bronze Men would attack him all at once.
He'd probably be sent flying in less than three breaths.
What no one knew was what Lin Feng was thinking.
He'd been waiting for everyone else to be eliminated!
That way, all those Bronze Men would attack him!
Lin Feng had calculated that if more than a hundred Bronze Men attacked him at once, the proficiency gain each second would be staggering.
The Status Panel before him would gain over 300 points every second!
By then, his Iron Shirt proficiency had already exceeded twenty thousand.
It wouldn't take long to reach the hundred thousand needed to level up.
A glint appeared in Lin Feng's eyes as he waited quietly.
The only downside was that the Bronze Men attacked in turns.
The space was too cramped for over a hundred Bronze Men to punch him at the same time.
They could only attack one after another.
Even so, the proficiency gain was still tremendous.
It wouldn't be long before his Iron Shirt advanced!
Sixty breaths passed in an instant.
The Bronze Men's cultivation had risen from Body Tempering Sixth Level to Body Tempering Seventh Level!
And now, as the Body Tempering Seventh Level Bronze Men attacked Lin Feng,
his Iron Shirt proficiency began increasing faster!
+5+5+5+5+5+5...
This time, each Bronze Man attack on Lin Feng increased his proficiency by a full 5 points!
With over a hundred Bronze Men attacking in turns, Lin Feng's proficiency gain per second was now being calculated at 500 points.
"So fast!"
Lin Feng was overjoyed.
At this rate,
once the Bronze Men reached Body Tempering Eighth Level,
his Iron Shirt would level up!
The attacks of the Body Tempering Seventh Level Bronze Men still didn't put any pressure on Lin Feng.
With the combined effects of Copper Skin, Iron Bone, and Steel Tendons, Lin Feng had become as hard as steel, inside and out.
There was no way to break through his defenses!
Outside the formation,
everyone watched the scene.
Seeing that Lin Feng was still holding out after the Bronze Men reached Body Tempering Seventh Level,
all the Demon Suppression Guards' pupils shrank!
"The Bronze Men are already at Body Tempering Seventh Level! And he's still holding out!"
"Good grief, an ordinary Constable is blocking attacks from this many Bronze Men?!"
"He's even stronger than those Squad Leaders at Body Tempering Ninth Layer!"
Quite a few Demon Suppression Guards were moved.
They hadn't thought much of it before.
But now, everything was different.
Lin Feng had lasted longer than every Squad Leader-level fighter!
In other words, if they put Lin Feng in the Squad Leader group right now,
he'd take first place and claim the crown.
And he was only an ordinary Constable. Many Demon Suppression Guards found it hard to believe.
Just then,
a Demon Suppression Guard suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that the guy who didn't know his place earlier? He asked what reward he'd get if he held out longer than a Squad Leader! I didn't expect him to actually have the strength to back it up!"
The others took another look, then recalled what had happened earlier.
They immediately understood.
Back then, Lin Feng's question had seemed incredibly arrogant to everyone. He was just an ordinary Constable who didn't know his place, and no one had paid him any attention.
They'd glanced at him once and then looked away, assuming he was just showing off.
But now that someone had brought it up, the Demon Suppression Guards all remembered the earlier scene.
Seeing Lin Feng hold out for so long, quite a few of them stared at him wide-eyed.
It really was him!
By lasting this long, Lin Feng had already drawn the attention of most of the Demon Suppression Guards.
Even the Squad Leaders who had just finished their tests,
powerful Houtian Second Level fighters like Qin Bang and Jiang Deyun,
couldn't help glancing over, their brows faintly furrowed.
Qin Bang's gaze flickered. Seeing Lin Feng standing still, he knew the other man was cultivating a body-refinement martial art.
Thinking that Jiang Deyun had lasted longer than him thanks to a body-refinement martial art, Qin Bang couldn't help feeling resentful.
The Bronze Man Formation gave body-refinement martial artists far too great an advantage.
Just then, a thought suddenly occurred to Qin Bang.
Could Lin Feng hold out as long as Jiang Deyun?
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Qin Bang shook his head. It was impossible. How could someone in the Body Tempering Realm compare with someone in the Houtian Realm?
Jiang Deyun thought the same thing. He glanced at Lin Feng briefly, then looked away.
First place was already in the bag for him. Even if this young man had made a stir and drawn plenty of attention, it meant nothing to Jiang Deyun.
The reward in hand was what mattered most!
On the high platform,
the Three Captains' originally placid expressions had begun to show the faintest ripple.
Judging by the time, Lin Feng had already outlasted every Squad Leader taking part in the test.
But his cultivation was only at Body Tempering Seventh Level!
He had lasted longer than many Martial Artists at Body Tempering Ninth Layer!
