Upon hearing that the nine junior commanders were vying for the man, the subordinates of the Mo Teng Camp gradually came to their senses.
The only condition for joining the Demon King Imperial Guard is to first enter the Trial Camp. No matter who you are or how talented you are, you cannot skip this prerequisite.
Then, things gradually became clear.
The only possibility is that a monster appeared in the Trial Camp and passed the test in just half a day!
Half a day...
The subordinates of the Mo Teng Camp exchanged bewildered glances. What mission had they completed to be selected in such a short time?
You should know that the fastest record before was three days, but now he has become a junior commander!
Moreover, this person is none other than Commander Le Xun, who is ranked first!
No wonder even Commander Le Xun, who had always disdained to steal people, started vying for them...
Upon hearing the conditions offered by the commanders, Mo Teng laughed loudly, "You're wasting your time. Hei Mu has already decided to join my Mo Teng Camp!"
Commander Luo Ling, ranked eighth, widened his eyes and said, "Why would you be so foolish as to join the camp of this perennial ninth-ranker?"
"What... are you much better than me?" Mo Teng's face darkened.
Le Xun looked directly at Xiao Hei and asked, "Are you sure you want to Demonization Teng's camp?"
Xiao Hei nodded.
Seeing this, Le Xun nodded and then disappeared from the spot.
Although Xiao Hei possessed exceptional talent and passed the Blood Pool Flame, it wasn't enough for Le Xun swallow his pride and beg others to join him.
Seeing that even Commander Le Xun had refused, what could the other commanders say?
They could only shake their heads and leave.
In an instant.
This news spread throughout the entire Demon King Imperial Guard.
Between training and missions, they talked about Xiao Hei.
A day later, another shocking piece of news spread through the Mo Teng Camp.
Hei Mu, who had just joined the Demon King Imperial Guard, actually wanted to occupy one of the seats in the Mo Teng Camp to participate in the martial arts competition!
"So impatient? It hasn't been that long! Is he strong enough?"
"His strength is definitely not enough, but I guess Commander Mo Teng wants him to come here to gain experience and prepare for the upcoming competition?"
"I'm afraid that after participating in this competition, I'll be so crushed that I'll develop psychological trauma, which would be a huge loss."
"I remember the three martial arts spots for the Mo Teng Camp. Hei Mu replaced Jing Zhan, right? Jing Zhan isn't one to give up easily; he's arrogant and proud!"
"That newcomer is in trouble. Although Jing Zhan isn't considered strong among martial artists, he's not someone a newcomer can handle."
"Heh, that's none of our business. Let's focus on training."
However, this has nothing to do with Xiao Hei anymore.
After having his subordinates show Xiao Hei around the Mo Teng Camp, Mo Teng arranged for him to stay in a tent with the densest demonic energy, and also provided Xiao Hei with all sorts of Cultivation Resources.
However, these were just a drop in the ocean for Xiao Hei.
The Demon King Imperial Guard does have a special training ground, where even junior commanders often train. However, it's no longer effective for a physical body like Xiao Hei's.
Of course, the Demon King Imperial Guard has daily training requirements. The Mo Teng Camp is no exception.
As Xiao Hei was preparing to return to his tent after the day's training, an angry-looking man blocked his way.
"So you're the newcomer? Do you dare to fight? If you lose, then you must withdraw from the competition!"
The roar attracted a large crowd of Mo Teng Camp's subordinates.
It's Jing Zhan!
"I knew he wouldn't be Qi Ingestion his spot being taken by a newcomer."
Everyone present watched this scene with great interest, wanting to see how Xiao Hei would handle it.
But Xiao Hei didn't even glance at Jing Zhan, and simply walked past him.
Jing Zhan was taken aback, his face turning cold as he turned around and grabbed Xiao Hei's shoulder, saying, "A newcomer dares to be so arrogant? I admit you have talent, but you haven't fully developed yet. You're not worthy of participating in the competition!"
Xiao Hei still didn't reply, but with a slight tremor of his shoulder, Jing Zhan felt a tremendous force forcefully push him away! He took a small step back, looking at Xiao Hei's departing figure in disbelief.
Is this the physical strength that Peak God General Realm can possess?
However, Jing Zhan didn't use much of his strength. If he went all out, he still believed he could easily suppress Xiao Hei.
They wanted to chase after him again, but a voice called out to them.
"This opportunity will be given to Hei Mu."
Jing Zhan turned around and saw Mo Teng. He quickly bowed and asked, "Commander... is it his strength?"
Mo Teng glanced at Jing Zhan indifferently and said coldly, "My mind is made up. Don't say anything more. Or are you going to disobey my orders?"
Jing Zhan bowed again, saying in fear, "Your subordinate dares not!"
In the military, the commander's orders cannot be disobeyed.
After Mo Teng left, Jing Zhan straightened up, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'd like to see if you can leave this stage standing up!"
When Jing Zhan said these words, he was looking in the direction Xiao Hei had left.
Seeing that the two had not actually clashed, the crowd dispersed.
Soon, six days had passed, and the day of the martial arts competition arrived.
However, on this day, Shu Ming also passed the test and joined the Mo Teng Camp!
Six days—while not breaking the record, it was still an incredibly monstrous achievement.
The arena for the martial arts competition was a large open space, where a square platform rose up.
The platform was stained with blood, some dark brown, some deep red...
It looked like a mixture of old and new that hadn't been cleaned up, and the pungent smell of blood was overwhelming!
Almost all the people from the nine camps came to this place.
Not only are there nine junior commanders here, but there is also a senior commander in charge!
The Grand Commander sat at the head of the table, while the nine junior commanders stood behind him.
The Grand Commander waved his hand and said, "The usual procedure applies; all commanders, begin drawing lots."
When the leader was drawing lots.
Shu Ming then started chattering away beside Xiao Hei.
"Brother Hei Mu, you've only just joined the Demon King Imperial Guard and you're already participating in a martial arts competition? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
"Their opponents are all very strong."
"If you train for another year or two, these people definitely won't be a match for you..."
Xiao Hei's eyebrows kept twitching.
As long as he's not in a fight, his temper is always very stable.
But now Shu Ming is about to break down his defenses! Even the murderous aura that has been completely integrated into his body is about to burst forth!
Just as Xiao Hei was about to interrupt.
The president began announcing the results of the lottery.
"Round one: Hei Mu from the Mo Teng Camp versus Jia Yun from the Luo Ling Camp. Go up on stage."
Luo Ling Camp ranked one place higher than Mo Teng Camp.
Even so, Jia Yun is still a powerful expert at the Early God King Realm.
The crowd couldn't help but start discussing it.
"Although Jia Yun's strength is among the weakest, he's still not someone that newcomer can handle, is he?"
"That's good, though. Being the first to go on stage means I won't be intimidated by the other fighters."
"Well, the sooner we lose, the better."
Jia Yun leaped up.
Looking at the Xiao Hei below the stage, he grinned and said, "Newbie, I'll go easy on you. How about I give you three moves?"
