The Demon Suppression Division's training ground had erupted into chaos.

The first group to undergo the Bronze Man Formation assessment consisted mainly of Houtian Realm squad leaders.

Among them, several squad leaders had already been eliminated when they couldn't hold on at the Eighth Level of Body Tempering.

The Eighth Level of Body Tempering Bronze Man Formation had eliminated a full eleven Houtian Realm martial artists.

Most squad leaders simply couldn't withstand this stage of the Eighth Level of Body Tempering!!

But at this moment, Lin Feng had already pushed through.

The bronze men in the formation had reached an astonishing Body Tempering Ninth Layer!

How absurd was this?

Consider this—those squad leaders eliminated by the Eighth Level of Body Tempering bronze men.

Most of them were only besieged by a dozen or twenty bronze men at most.

In terms of pressure, they were far inferior to Lin Feng!

Because Lin Feng's group consisted entirely of ordinary constables.

Their strength was so low it was barely worth mentioning, and many had dropped out early.

Thus, from very early on, Lin Feng had been alone, facing the assault of over a hundred bronze men!

Not only had he held on, but he had persisted to the same level as Qin Bang and Jiang Deyun!

And in terms of difficulty, he had it even harder than those two.

After all, Lin Feng was all by himself!

"Am I seeing this right?! He's just an ordinary constable, Body Tempering Seventh Level, and he's made it this far!"

"Shit, he's already on par with Qin Bang and Jiang Deyun! His body-tempering martial arts are so advanced, his defense is terrifying!"

"Incredible, he's still resisting at this point?! I'd say, even though his realm is Body Tempering Seventh Level, his defense rivals Houtian Second Level or even Third Level!"

The surrounding Demon Suppression Guards cried out in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

Not just these onlooking Demon Suppression Guards.

Even the squad leaders and patrol leaders participating in the assessment couldn't stay calm.

Who would have thought that among the ordinary constable group, someone could surpass them—even crush them?!

At this moment, Qin Bang and Jiang Deyun, ranked first and second, both wore grim expressions.

Qin Bang stared at Lin Feng, inwardly cursing: "Damn it!! This assessment is so unfair!"

"If it were ranked by actual combat, I'd crush this guy in three moves! But they use this Bronze Man Formation instead."

"It lets those with superior body-tempering martial arts last longer—I can't accept this!" Qin Bang fumed inside.

He believed Jiang Deyun had surpassed him only because of an advantage in body-tempering martial arts.

And now Lin Feng was about to overtake him too, also relying on that same advantage.

Unfortunately, the Demon Suppression Division's assessment was personally set by the Colonel.

No one could object.

Qin Bang was slightly better off; he wasn't the first place holder anyway.

But for Jiang Deyun, this was a whole different matter.

He stared fixedly at Lin Feng, his mind churning like a stormy sea, unable to accept the scene before him.

He had struggled bitterly in the Bronze Man Formation, holding on until the very last moment, finally surpassing Qin Bang.

After all that hardship, he had barely snatched first place.

Thinking of the incredibly generous rewards for first place, Jiang Deyun could hardly contain his impatience.

He just wanted the assessment to end and the rewards to be handed out.

But now, things seemed to be changing.

Someone from the constable group had actually held on to the Body Tempering Ninth Layer Bronze Man Formation!

This was terrifying!

Jiang Deyun's face turned ashen.

Watching Lin Feng, who remained calm and composed despite being attacked by countless bronze men, he roared inwardly.

"Why hasn't he been knocked out yet?! What are those bronze men doing?!"

"Isn't this Body Tempering Ninth Layer? How terrifying are Body Tempering Ninth Layer bronze men? With so many attacking together, they still can't blast him out?"

As time dragged on, Lin Feng would inevitably surpass Jiang Deyun's endurance.

Jiang Deyun couldn't help but recall Captain Chen's words.

If someone from another group could surpass the squad leader group's first place.

Then naturally, they would claim the most generous reward in the assessment.

Under normal circumstances.

The first place in the squad leader's group was always the first place in the entire assessment, as it had always been.

But this time seemed different.

Time stretched on.

The exclamations within the arena gradually faded.

Everyone was watching Lin Feng.

Because even after reaching Body Tempering Ninth Layer, Lin Feng, under assault from the Bronze Men, remained completely at ease.

He looked relaxed!

Soon, another sixty breaths passed.

At this point, the Bronze Men's realm rose once more.

From Body Tempering Ninth Layer, they now possessed Houtian First Layer!

Now, the Bronze Men had True Qi!

Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!

At this moment, each Bronze Man's attacks were terrifyingly powerful!

Having reached Houtian First Layer, combined with their own rock-hard bodies, a single punch was stronger than that of an ordinary Houtian First Layer martial artist, unless the latter used a weapon.

"He... he held out until Houtian First Layer?!"

"Heavens, even Jiang Deyun didn't last until Houtian First Layer!"

"An ordinary constable, a Body Tempering Realm martial artist, has even more terrifying defense than a Houtian Second Layer martial artist?!"

"What kind of body-tempering martial art is he practicing, to be this strong!"

The many Demon Suppression Guards watching could no longer stay silent; they gasped in astonishment.

Watching a Body Tempering Realm martial artist surpass Jiang Deyun and Qin Bang—how could this not be shocking?

Moreover, Lin Feng was a huge dark horse.

Long before the assessment began, some Demon Suppression Guards had secretly speculated.

They wondered who would take the championship—naturally, Jiang Deyun and Qin Bang.

No one expected a third contender to appear.

Inside the Bronze Man Formation.

When the Bronze Men's realm became as strong as Houtian First Layer, Lin Feng found it quite strenuous to handle.

The Houtian Realm and the Body Tempering Realm were ultimately two different levels.

One could use True Qi, the other only physical strength—the gap was like heaven and earth.

At this moment, Lin Feng was still gritting his teeth and persevering.

Because at this point, the proficiency gained from the Bronze Men's attacks was too exaggerated!

+50 +50 +50 +50...

Each Bronze Man's attack granted him 50 proficiency.

Every second, the increase was already impossible to track!

In any case, the growth was terrifying.

Before long, his total Iron Shirt proficiency had surpassed one hundred thousand.

However, to upgrade Iron Shirt again, he would need one million proficiency.

This difficulty was already extremely high, not something easily achieved.

After another moment.

Lin Feng felt pain all over his body; his muscles, bones, and skin felt as if they had been hammered thousands or tens of thousands of times.

At this point, Lin Feng could no longer hold on.

"A pity! My realm is ultimately too low. If I were at Body Tempering Ninth Layer, I could definitely keep going!" Lin Feng thought to himself.

He knew it was time to stop.

His endurance time had surpassed Jiang Deyun's.

At the same time, Iron Shirt had already been upgraded.

Both goals were achieved.

With this in mind, Lin Feng looked outside the Bronze Man Formation.

He forcibly endured the onslaught of countless Bronze Men and walked out of the formation.

In just a few steps, Lin Feng burst out of the Bronze Man Formation, then gasped for breath.

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching the author—maybe it just changed its name!
