He started by brutally defeating the demon lady, and the passersby were terrified!

Xiao Hong is not dead; he is still alive.

But he definitely can't participate in this assessment, which must be worse than death for a former top contender.

Not only is this guy awesome, he's also incredibly ruthless.

Absolutely terrifying!

Many people made up their minds at that moment that they would never see him again, and that any team member who dared to mess with Brother Awesome would have his legs broken!

"The countdown has ended. All examinees have formed teams. Now, proceed to the first checkpoint waiting area. The assessment will officially begin in five minutes."

The broadcast from the assessment base rang out again.

There are a total of twenty-four teams.

"Brother Meng, thank you so much."

Li Zhichun walked behind Meng Yan, his feelings at that moment were indescribably complicated.

It's like a dream.

"Bullys will eventually be bullied by the stronger. The way to overcome fear is to face it directly. You should thank yourself."

Meng Yan looked at Li Zhichun.

He left behind a single, understated sentence.

He has always hated bullying and has helped many classmates.

I never expected to encounter these kinds of things at the assessment base. It's true that wherever there are people, there are bad apples.

"What a great line: 'Bullys will eventually be bullied by the stronger, and the way to overcome fear is to face it.' This kid has a bit of my style back in the day!"

Above, Meng Yan was unaware that Zhao Yunlong had witnessed everything he was doing.

He laughed heartily and tossed aside a new employee evaluation form filled out by the guide.

Violence, madness, bloodlust, suspected psychopathic killer—Song Wei and Cheng Yun's comments are completely baseless. She's just a normal, principled child.

"Old Zhao, stop patting yourself on the back! It's just that Xiao Hong and his entire team are unable to participate in the competition."

Chu Gang said.

There are 24 teams in total.

There are only 23 left now.

"They deserved it! Oh, so now that you have the bigger fist, you're allowed to bully others with your fists, but others aren't allowed to bully you with their fists? What kind of bullshit logic is that!"

Zhao Yunlong said irritably.

Some awakened individuals possess this kind of despicable trait!

Waiting area at the training grounds.

"Regardless, I still want to thank you, Brother Meng. I'm a support type, better at healing, and I'm only... only at the second level of Body Tempering, but I'll definitely give it my all later! I won't hold anyone back!"

Li Zhichun said firmly at this moment.

Although the other party wanted him to thank him, if it weren't for Brother Meng taking him in, he, a weak support-type Body Tempering Level 2 trash, would definitely have no one to take him along. Especially since Xiao Hong had said that no team was allowed to take him, making things even more difficult.

It was Brother Meng who led him out of the abyss and back to the light.

"Support class? Healing? Isn't that amazing!"

He was a little confused when he heard the words "support class".

Because I didn't know there was such a classification.

But treatment, shouldn't that be like a doctor? In the context of cultivation, it's similar to the divine doctors and pharmacists in TV dramas.

That's amazing!!

"Brother Meng... my auxiliary healing is pretty useless; it can only restore 1% of the stamina to people at the same cultivation level."

Li Zhichun lowered his head as he spoke.

This ability is beyond useless; it's practically worthless.

Therefore, he can only team up with others to pass the test.

Otherwise, I would never have been able to pass the assessment.

But at least they are awakened beings.

His physical fitness has improved in all aspects, probably to the point where he is about twice as strong as an average person, making him a relatively strong adult.

He will definitely fight to the death to hold off the demon puppet in a moment.

"Oh, I see. It's alright, you can just stand at the back in a bit! To be honest, I'm still not clear about the content of this assessment, such as how to pass it. If you have to rack up points to pass, I'll take care of you later."

Meng Yan said.

At the same time, I also understood why they treated the fat man that way.

In a normal team, even if the fat guy is weaker in combat, having more people means having more help. Bullying him like this is a dead end.

After all, fortunes can change drastically over time.

Don't underestimate a young person's potential.

So it turns out they look down on the fat man's useless ability.

They also insisted that the other party could not possibly pass the assessment.

Unfortunately, she ran into Meng Yan.

I just temporarily found someone to form a team; I never thought of relying on others.

Of course, if the other party knew the content of the assessment and how to pass it, he would still be very interested in hearing about it.

Despite his exceptional combat prowess, he's actually a complete novice when it comes to these things.

He had only just heard about things like Body Tempering, Spirit Spring, the Mysterious Investigation Bureau, and now the Support System.

"Brother Meng, the Awakener assessment in the Newcomer Trial Grounds is divided into two stages. The first stage is to kill the demon puppet, and the second stage is to fight against the examiner team. You don't need to score points separately; teamwork is all that's needed. The requirements for passing are to kill a demon puppet and withstand one move from the examiner team."

Li Zhichun was genuinely surprised that Brother Meng had come to participate in the assessment without knowing anything about it.

Seeing how strong the other party was, he thought they were a disciple of some hidden sect!

"Huh? Slaying a demon puppet and taking a single move from the examiner team is enough to pass?"

Meng Yan was stunned; he thought it would be very difficult.

That's it?

This is not something that can be easily accomplished!

"Brother Meng! This is no simple matter. The demon puppets are all of the demon-level, with an average combat strength equivalent to the sixth level of Body Tempering. Moreover, they've been directly deployed to the main square of the assessment area. You're not facing just one, but two hundred. Most importantly, our chief examiner this time is the Demon Head Squad—the difficulty is off the charts!"

Sensing the disdain in Meng Yan's words, Li Zhichun immediately added.

Although Brother Meng is very strong.

But with so many demon puppets, it would be difficult to escape once surrounded.

"Are the Demon Head Squad really that powerful?"

Meng Yan was a little curious. They were all talking about the Demon Head Squad. What exactly was that?

As for the Demon level.

Isn't that the young lady from last night?

Two hundred young women attacking... I should be able to handle it, right?

The key is that you only need to kill one young woman to complete the game.

If you can't kill them, can't you at least outrun them?

So now only this so-called Chief Examiner Goblin Squad remains.

"The Demon Head Squad is an S-rank divine weapon squad from the headquarters of the Mysterious Investigation Bureau of our Taixu Kingdom. Its full name is the Five Demon Heads, and its distinctive feature is that they all wear mountain demon masks. Three members of the squad have come this time. The leader is called Shadow Blade, a Night Wanderer Realm expert who is skilled in assassination. The other two are Blood Butcher, who possesses unparalleled strength, and Wan Hua, whose horizontal sword is wielded with superb skill, and both are at the ninth level of the Spirit Spring Realm."

"Although the examiners require cultivation levels to be suppressed to the Spirit Spring Realm, as a divine weapon squad, their combat experience is extremely rich. Many newcomers who have just tempered their bodies find it extremely difficult to withstand three moves, and obtaining their token with an excellent rating is even more like climbing to heaven. Since the start of the examinations, very few of their tests have achieved an excellent rating. The awakened individuals being tested call it the difficulty of purgatory."

Li Zhichun recounted the intelligence he possessed.

When he learned that the examiners for the second round of testing would be the Xiaotou Squad, he truly broke down.

"Wow, I didn't expect you, fat guy, to know so much. So, what are the benefits of being excellent and outstanding?"

Meng Yan's eyes lit up; the fat guy who casually joined in seemed to know quite a lot.

It saved me a lot of trouble.

"Fatty, fatso..."

Upon hearing this address, Li Zhichun was momentarily dazed.

"Oh? Sorry, if you don't like this form of address, I'll change it..."

"No need! Everyone calls me that cripple, that cripple who looks like a groundhog. Brother Meng, I really like the nickname 'Fatty'! You can call me that from now on!!"

Meng Yan was just thinking that "fatty" was also an unpleasant nickname and was about to change it when he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

The other party actually said that calling him "fatty" was a good thing, and even told him to call him that from now on.

"OK!"

He never expected that the term "fat man," which many people disliked, would be so beloved by some as if they had found gold.

What exactly did Li Zhichun go through?

"Brother Meng, actually I don't know that much. After staying here for more than a month, I'll basically learn the basics. As for the benefits of being excellent or outstanding, let me start by explaining what 'qualified' means..."

Li Zhichun looked as if he had been rejuvenated.

He asked Meng Yan.

"sure!"

Meng Yan was eager for someone to talk to him more.

"The assessment is divided into five levels: qualified, average, excellent, outstanding, and divine weapon..."

If you pass, you will automatically be granted trainee status. There is no newcomer gift pack. You are required to slay a demon puppet and withstand one move from the examiner.

Medium difficulty, standard newbie gift pack, 10 merit points, requires slaying two demon puppets and enduring three moves from the examiner.

Excellent, Advanced Newcomer Gift Pack, Ordinary Body Tempering Pill, taking it will advance you one level in the Body Tempering Realm, 20 Merit Points, Requirements: Slay ten demon puppets and fight ten rounds.

Excellent, Excellent-level Newcomer Gift Pack, Superior Body Tempering Pill, taking it can advance three levels in the Body Tempering Realm, 40 merit points, requires killing twenty demon puppets, obtaining the completion token from any examiner, while the Demon Head Squad is required to remove one person's mask.

"By the way, Brother Meng, you can get a trial subsidy of one thousand yuan for killing a demon puppet."

The fat man explained it in great detail.

"You mean you get a thousand coins for killing a demon puppet?"

But Meng Yan only heard the last important sentence!

You can actually get paid for killing demon puppets?!

You came to the right place! This secret investigation bureau is full of money!

"Yes, Brother Meng, this money was supposedly set by the first generation of high-ranking officials. They said that whether it was for the assessment of slaying demons or going out to slay demons, there would be some financial subsidy. So, the rule came about that you could get 10,000 for slaying evil spirits when going out to slay demons, and 1,000 for slaying a demon puppet during the assessment of new Awakeners."

Li Zhichun didn't expect that Brother Meng would ask about the 1,000 yuan subsidy.

"It seems that the first generation of high-ranking officials who made this rule were very understanding of the hardships of the lower classes."

Meng Yan sighed, "If slaying demon puppets is a matter of money, then I won't hold back today!"

"Squeak—"

At that very moment, a heavy iron door opened.

It was a huge trial square.

Inside, there were countless humanoid, rather eerie-looking demonic puppets, and many of the new trainees showed fear on their faces.

"Get ready to start work, Fatty, follow behind me!"

Meng Yan couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

Because in his eyes, those were just walking cash cows!

"Sister Song! What score do you think this butcher will get when he passes the test?"

Cheng Yun looked at Song Wei beside him.

The assessment they've been waiting for for so long is finally about to begin.

What score will this schizophrenic madman ultimately achieve to pass the game?

I'm really looking forward to it.
