If I made you a special forces soldier, would you become a terrestrial god?

Yuan Lang's words were like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly causing the entire battlefield situation to explode.

Lei Zhan and Gao Cheng's faces darkened simultaneously. They hadn't expected that Yuan Lang, this seemingly lazy guy, would be so cunning. He tried to shift the blame and drag everyone else out to get rid of the two toughest buddies.

"Don't listen to him!" Gao Cheng practically yelled. "Those guys from the Old A are all rotten to the core; they're the worst at stabbing you in the back!"

Lei Zhan's face was also grim as he stared intently at Yuan Lang, his eyes filled with a murderous intent. He still remembered every single mistake he made during the island assessment.

He Chenguang, Long Xiaoyun, Leng Feng, and the others fell into a brief silence.

The squad leaders' eyes darted rapidly between Old A, Thunder, and Steel Seventh Company, their minds racing as they weighed the pros and cons. Yuan Lang's suggestion was indeed tempting: take out the two strongest teams first, and the rest would be easier. But everyone knew that Old A was probably a tougher nut to crack than Thunder and Steel Seventh Company combined.

Team up with them? That would be like asking a tiger for its skin.

At this tense moment, when swords were about to be drawn and war was imminent.

"I'm telling you guys, stop arguing."

A slightly playful voice slowly interjected.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhuang Yan leading his garrison soldiers, who had also experienced life and death and whose eyes revealed a fierce determination, walking over unhurriedly. This group of people had been judged as "dead" in the previous hunting game, but now they appeared on the battlefield of the final assessment, and the words "unconvinced" were written all over their faces.

Zhuang Yan glanced at the standoff in the arena, a smile that seemed to suggest he was enjoying the spectacle.

"Instead of wasting our breath playing these alliance and faction games," he cracked his wrists, making a crisp "crack" sound, "since we're all going to fight anyway, how about... we 'sparring partners' use our skills to see who's the best?"

Before he finished speaking, he swayed and charged towards the nearest Thunder Commando member, Yama, like a cannonball.

"court death!"

Yama, never before provoked like this, roared in fury. His enhanced power erupted instantly, unleashing a devastating cannon punch that whistled through the air, aimed directly at Zhuang Yan's face. This punch was powerful enough to crack a piece of granite!

However, Zhuang Yan's movement technique was unbelievably strange.

Like a boneless snake, he suddenly sank downwards at an unbelievable angle, narrowly avoiding the force of the punch, and instantly pressed himself close to the King of Hell's body.

Just as the two passed each other, Zhuang Yan's seemingly ordinary palm strike, carrying a spiraling, hidden force, gently and skillfully struck Yan Wang's right rib.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

Yama felt a piercing pain from his ribs, which instantly spread throughout his body, as if he had been struck by a high-voltage electric shock. The force of his powerful punch vanished instantly, and all his strength seemed to have been drained by an invisible black hole. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees, his mouth agape, but he couldn't utter a single sound.

one move!

Another instant kill!

The entire training ground fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

Everyone was stunned by Zhuang Yan's clean and decisive move. Even Yan Wang, whose strength was among the top in the Thunder Commando Team, couldn't withstand a single blow?

Zhuang Yan's move completely shattered the fragile balance on the field.

"Damn it! Let's fight them!"

"Take out these toughest ones first!"

The melee has broken out again!

This time, there were no more alliances or probing. Everyone still standing was bloodthirsty!

"Damn it! Come here and face your death!" Lei Zhan roared, leading the remaining members of the Thunder Commando Team directly to Yuan Lang. Old and new grudges, they had to be settled today!

"I'm always ready," Yuan Lang said with his usual lazy, irritating smile, but his eyes turned cold. "However, Captain Lei, if you want revenge, you'll have to wait in line."

On the other side, Gao Cheng and his Steel Seventh Company clashed with the War Wolf led by Long Xiaoyun!

"Never abandon! Never give up!"

Gao Cheng roared the slogans of the Seventh Steel Company, taking the lead like an enraged tiger, and punched the silent and icy Leng Feng hard!

"Bang!"

The force of the punches was intense, and both men took a step back. Gao Cheng felt a sharp pain in his fist, while Leng Feng's eyes grew increasingly dangerous.

Meanwhile, He Chenguang's red blood cell team got entangled with Zhuang Yan's group of "mad dogs"!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The muffled thuds of fists and feet colliding, the cracking of bones breaking under the strain, and the groans of pain rose and fell.

This is a true showdown between ace players!

Wang Yanbing kicked a guy who tried to ambush Li Erniu, sending him flying, and cursed as he did so: "Damn it! Don't you have eyes? You only target honest people like us, huh?!"

The man he kicked away was one of Zhuang Yan's soldiers. Enraged by the retort, he rolled on the ground to dissipate the force, got up, and roared back, "What are you looking at! I'll hit you all!"

"Come on, you grandson!"

The two exchanged insults across the crowd, but their hands moved swiftly, each taking down two more opponents.

Li Erniu's honest face was now filled with murderous intent. Relying on his thick skin and superhuman strength after the transformation, he stood at the very front of the group, like a moving city wall. Several soldiers' fists and feet landed on him, making only dull thuds, but he seemed unaffected, grinning, and with a swift grab of his large, fan-like hand, he lifted two men up and slammed them together!

"My mom always said, you can't lose a fight!"

His roar actually drowned out the shouts of battle around him.

He Chenguang calmly maneuvered on the edge of the battle, his eyes like the most sophisticated radar, constantly searching for the enemy's weaknesses. He didn't make many moves, but with each move, an enemy inevitably fell to the ground.

His eyes met Zhuang Yan's amidst the chaos, and both saw the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent in each other's eyes.

"Interesting." Zhuang Yan licked his lips, dodged Gong Jian's black kick with a quick movement, and then slammed another person down with an elbow strike. His movements were fluid and graceful as he charged towards He Chenguang.

Time passed second by second amidst the fierce battle.

Fewer and fewer people were still standing on the field.

Finally, when the last soldier who tried to stand up was slammed to the ground by He Chenguang's clean and decisive over-the-shoulder throw, unable to get up again.

The entire training ground finally returned to an eerie calm.

On the field, only a few lonely figures remained.

He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing, Li Erniu, Yuan Lang, Leng Feng, Gao Cheng, Zhuang Yan...

They were all ragged, covered in wounds, sweat and blood mingling as they gasped for breath. Each felt their lungs were about to burst, their limbs as heavy as lead. But their eyes shone with a frightening light!

They stood until the very end!

"The assessment is over."

Gao Dazhuang's deep voice finally rang out through the loudspeaker.

To the few people still standing on the field, this sound was like heavenly music.

His nerves, stretched to their limit, suddenly relaxed, and an indescribable sense of exhaustion washed over him like a tide. Yuan Lang could no longer maintain his lazy demeanor, and he slumped to the ground, giving He Chenguang a thumbs-up with a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Gao Cheng still stood straight, but his slightly trembling legs revealed that he was already at his limit.

They won!

They finally became official members of Kunlun!

"Everyone who passed the test, rest where you are!"

"The rest of you, straighten your uniforms and assemble immediately!"

Following Gao Dazhuang's command, the 546 members of the garrison who had been eliminated, as well as those who had died in the previous hunting game, endured their injuries and disappointment, got up from the ground, and assembled into a new square formation in another open area.

They looked at the 2,500 victors not far away, their eyes filled with complex emotions—envy, disappointment, and a deep sense of resentment.

But no one complained.

That's how cruel the laws of the military are; if you're not as skilled, there's nothing you can say.

Just then, Su Chen appeared on the podium.

His calm gaze swept over the two thousand five hundred faces below, each etched with exhaustion and ecstasy, and then over the five hundred faces filled with disappointment and resentment.

"Congratulations, you have passed all the tests."

Su Chen's voice, amplified, resonated clearly throughout every corner.

"From this day forward, you are all proud members of my Kunlun Brigade!"

"Whoosh—!"

A thunderous cheer erupted from the victor's square!

He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing, Yuan Lang, Gao Cheng… everyone used their last ounce of strength to raise their arms and shout wildly, releasing their pent-up excitement! Some laughed and then cried, some cried and then laughed again. The inhuman torment of the past month had, at this moment, transformed into the sweetest fruit.

"However," Su Chen's tone shifted, instantly silencing the boiling crowd, "passing the selection doesn't mean you can rest easy. Let me tell you the truth, this is just the beginning."

"In Kunlun, you will face training a hundred times more brutal than the selection process, and challenges a thousand times more demanding than what you are experiencing now! You will witness what true hell looks like! Anyone who falls behind the team could be eliminated at any time and sent back to the garrison you currently look down upon!"

His words were like a bucket of ice water, calming everyone down and sending a chill down their spines.

Su Chen's gaze then turned to the more than five hundred losers.

"As for you," his voice softened, "although you failed to enter the core combat sequence, you are still an indispensable part of Kunlun."

"Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is losing the courage to try again."

"From today onwards, you will form the new 'Kunlun Garrison Battalion'! Your mission is to defend this formidable pass and provide the strongest support for our frontline combat troops!"

"As long as you train hard and prove your worth, the gates of Kunlun will still be open to you in the next selection! At that time, you can challenge anyone in the core unit with a clear conscience!"

Su Chen's words were like a warm current, instantly dispelling the gloom in the hearts of the losers.

A flame of hope was rekindled in their eyes! Especially the last phrase, "issue a challenge," made them clench their fists.

"Now, I will announce several appointments."

Su Chen's voice turned serious again.

"Comrade Miao Zhiyuan, Chief of Staff, is hereby appointed concurrently as Battalion Commander of the Kunlun Garrison Battalion, with full authority over the formation and training of the garrison battalion!"

"Yes, sir!" Miao Zhiyuan, standing to the side, stood at attention and saluted, his voice loud and clear. He knew the significance of this team.

"All officially qualified members who have passed the assessment are entitled to a day off today! Tonight, the brigade headquarters will host a grand celebration banquet for you!"

"Starting tomorrow, you will embark on a brand new journey!"

"yes!"

Two thousand five hundred newly recruited Kunlun warriors roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!

The soldiers who were about to enter the garrison also stood tall, and their shouts were no weaker than those of the victors!

The brutal selection process that swept through the entire army has finally come to an end.

And a brand new legion of gods, composed of the most elite and elite soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom, has finally revealed its formidable fangs!
