The face is certainly handsome, but isn't he a bit too young?
"Junior Sister Xiao, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the three of them look far too young."
The commanding officer fell silent for a moment before speaking his mind.
"Rest assured, Senior. I wouldn't have brought them here if their strength didn't meet the requirements. In fact, the strongest among them might even be someone you couldn't defeat."
The commander glanced at Xiao Yu with some surprise. Since she was so confident, he would let them pass.
Besides, if they failed the final assessment, it would be their own reputation on the line, not his!
The commander didn't take Xiao Yu's final remark to heart.
At such a young age, no matter how talented they were, could they really beat him?
What a joke!
Xiao Yu returned with the commander, who took another look at the three of them.
Under his piercing gaze, the three remained calm, which made the commander nod inwardly.
One had to know that ordinary people would instinctively look away the moment they met his eyes.
He was a man who had truly been on the battlefield; his eyes were filled with killing intent!
"Let them through!"
The commander waved his hand and stepped aside.
The iron-clad army, which had been packed tight, slowly shifted to reveal a path two people wide.
Xiao Yu showed off the jade token in her hand to Xiao Ze and the others, then beckoned them forward.
The moment she stepped into the path, the smug smile on Xiao Yu's face froze, and she suddenly felt a chill run through her body.
This army had definitely seen real combat!
The fully armed soldiers were no mere show; they exuded a faint scent of blood. Walking among them created an indescribable sense of oppression.
Xiao Ze, however, felt nothing, though he did glance at the commander standing to the side.
He could sense that it was the commander who was driving this wave of oppression.
He had once fought his way through a small horde of magical beasts, striking fear even into the hearts of those vicious, brutal creatures.
Facing a formation like this was easy for him.
Moreover, Xiao Ze's greatest source of confidence was his own strength.
As a one-star Dou Grandmaster, he was more than capable of carving his way through this entire army!
When one's strength is insufficient, the pressure they exert is nothing more than a hollow display—a paper tiger—in the eyes of the truly strong.
Beside him, Xiao Xun'er also looked perfectly calm.
Having been guarded by high-level Dou Emperors her entire life, how could she possibly be intimidated by a group of soldiers?
Xiao Yi Xian had been startled at first, but she quickly regained her composure.
She had previously followed Xiao Ze through a small magical beast horde.
The scene after that battle could only be described as a river of blood!
The small valley where the fighting took place had been so low-lying that it gathered a small pool of blood!
Although Xiao Yi Xian had vomited uncontrollably for a long time after the battle, her tolerance for the scent of blood and this kind of oppressive atmosphere had increased significantly!
Therefore, after an initial moment of discomfort, she quickly calmed down.
Xiao Yu found the short dozen-meter path incredibly difficult to traverse.
Only when she reached the end did she let out a sigh of relief, her pretty face slightly pale.
Turning back to see Xiao Ze and the others looking at her with calm expressions, her face couldn't help but flush red.
As expected, she thought to herself, only monsters can be friends with other monsters!
The commander, who had been standing on the perimeter, walked over quickly.
His eyes were filled with shock as he re-evaluated the three of them.
He had to admit, he had misjudged them!
The pressure he had exerted just now had been deliberate.
An ordinary person would never have made it through; they would have been so terrified halfway through that their legs would have given out!
"Senior Brother, you're making things far too difficult for people!"
Xiao Yu patted her chest, still feeling a lingering fear.
"Ahem, this is a test ordered by Instructor Ruolin. If everyone could just walk through the back door, how would we ever hold this recruitment ceremony?"
Xiao Yu nodded helplessly, rolled her eyes at him, and led Xiao Ze and the others into the plaza.
Before leaving, Xiao Ze glanced at the officer.
Does a standard trial really require an officer to guide and exert pressure?
The doubt flashed through Xiao Ze's mind, but he did not dwell on it.
Regardless of whether that officer was there or not, it made no difference to him.
As the group arrived at the tent in the center of the plaza, a woman with an incredibly hot figure suddenly rushed out.
She immediately threw her arms around Xiao Yu and began groping her all over.
"Get lost! You female pervert!"
Xiao Yu laughed and cursed, pushing her away forcefully; otherwise, the hands of this creature wouldn't have stopped their mischief on her body!
"Let me introduce you. This is my good sister from Jia Nan Academy, Xueni. She has a smoking hot figure and countless pursuers!"
Xiao Ze nodded; there was no need to say that, as he could see it for himself.
Xueni was dressed in red, her face youthful and pretty.
Perhaps her looks didn't quite match Xiao Yu's, but that curvaceous, devilish figure of hers...
It made the passing young men unable to help but steal glances at her, with a few even unable to stop themselves from swallowing hard.
Xiao Yu swatted away Xueni's hand, which was still trying to cause trouble, and then pulled her over to stand in front of Xiao Ze and the others.
"These two are my clansmen, my cousin Xiao Xun'er and my cousin Xiao Ze. This one here is Xiao Ze's good friend, Xiao Yi Xian."
Xueni's curious gaze swept over the three of them, and she was immediately drawn to Xiao Ze.
"Sisters! Come out quickly!"
Xueni suddenly shouted toward the inside of the tent.
Immediately, a group of women of various shapes and sizes walked out. Before they could even ask, Xueni pointed at Xiao Ze.
"Wow! What a handsome young man!"
"Whose young master is this? How did he get inside the plaza? He's so exceptionally dashing!"
"Xueni, you're something else! Knowing how to share with your sisters."
Seeing this large group of girls, Xiao Yu realized things were taking a turn for the worse and hurriedly blocked them in front of Xiao Ze.
"Ahem, this is my cousin Xiao Ze. Don't you dare mess around; he hasn't even come of age yet!"
"Oh my, Xiao Yu, I was wondering why you never mentioned your clansmen before. So you were hiding such a beautiful young man!"
Xiao Ze stood to the side, wearing a smile that met the crowd's expectations.
Xiao Xun'er held Xiao Ze's hand, a gesture that carried a hint of asserting her claim.
Xiao Yi Xian stood beside Xiao Ze, her eyes filled with surprise.
Just as a small commotion was about to break out outside the tent, a roar suddenly erupted from within!
"On what grounds should I stand outside? Just because you're a three-star Dou Practitioner?"
"You're nothing but a senior. Even though I'm a freshman, I am still a member of Jia Nan Academy!"
The sudden voice left the girls outside the tent stunned.
Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow slightly.
This statement conveyed quite a bit of information.
It seemed a conflict had broken out between the freshmen and the seniors.
The girls lost interest in their teasing and hurriedly returned inside the tent.
Xiao Yu also beckoned to Xiao Ze and the others, signaling them to follow her inside.
Upon entering the tent, groups of Jia Nan Academy students were lounging in the shade.
Outside the shadows, a dozen or so young men and women were being exposed to the scorching sun!
The Jia Nan Academy students looked toward the center of the tent with expressions of watching a good show.
The freshmen being exposed to the sun also looked toward the center of the tent with some surprise.
They were freshmen and dared not resist, but the person in the center of the tent dared to defy them and had even spoken the words they were all thinking.
A youth who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, with a somewhat sturdy build that suggested he had undergone rigorous training, stood there.
At this moment, he had his arms crossed over his chest, looking at the person opposite him with utter disdain!
