After the punching power and speed assessments, the original hundred-strong group had dwindled to just ten.

But if they failed the final assessment, they would have to leave in disappointment, just like those who had failed before them.
None of them wanted to leave as failures, so when the third assessment began, they all focused with everything they had, ready to give it their best shot.
Wang Yu pointed at a gun barrel ahead and told them, "The third assessment tests your reflexes. Everyone must stand inside the red circle ten meters from the reflex-testing gun. During the test, neither foot may leave the circle. Stepping outside means failure.
