Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

"What do you mean? Does the city guard not want people anymore?"

Below the martial arts stage, Zhou An frowned, his mind filled with questions.

He could understand why his character failed the test and died in the battle against demons.

After all, he was less skilled than others, so he deserved to die.

Moreover, the demon on the platform had its feet bound by iron chains.

but?

What does it mean that if more than 20 out of 50 people fail the test, they will all die?

Is this intentional, so that we will select the strongest candidates to participate in the assessment?

Or are you planning to take this opportunity to cultivate teammates who can rely on you through thick and thin?

Do you not abandon or give up, or are you planning to get rid of all the idiots?

Zhou An looked puzzled, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over the people around him.

These young martial artists from different schools all had furrowed brows and were full of doubt.

Even the young martial artist who had previously shouted "I'll slay these mere demons!" remained silent, the fervor in his eyes fading with time.

"I am Liu Shuqing of Yuanhe Martial Arts School. May I ask, Captain Guo, what consequences would arise if we leave now?"

Just as the group of young martial artists were frowning, a handsome and refined young martial artist suddenly cupped his hands and asked.

"Ignore the assessment and leave immediately."

Captain Ge pointed to the gate through which everyone had come.

"If fewer than twenty people remain, how will the number of those who failed the assessment be calculated?"

Liu Shuqing asked again.

"If the number is less than twenty, the success or failure will be judged based on the number of ten. If the number exceeds this, all those who participated in the assessment will die."

In addition, if fewer than ten people participate in the assessment, the assessment trial will be cancelled.

You may still leave on your own.

"Junior Su Nianqiu from Hongxian Martial Arts School."

At this moment, a tall female martial artist with a ponytail stepped out from the crowd.

"May I ask, Captain Ge, if we all leave, will the person who recommended us to participate in this assessment be affected?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou An's eyes flickered.

All the martial artists present looked towards Captain Ge on the stage.

"I am only responsible for matters concerning the City Guard. As for the person who introduced you here, that is not within my purview."

Upon hearing this, Su Nianqiu frowned.

"With such a grand display, is it really that simple?"

Lost in thought, Zhou An suddenly remembered something and looked up at the city wall not far away.

"Could this assessment be the rare turning point that Senior Brother Guo mentioned?"

"May I ask, Captain Ge, how strong are these demons?"

At this moment, Liu Shuqing, whose words had been interrupted, glanced at Su Nianqiu, who was tall and had long legs, and asked loudly.

"Isn't this kid being a bit too cautious?"

Looking at Liu Shuqing, who had a scholarly air about him, Captain Ge sighed inwardly, but spoke with a solemn expression, showing no mercy.

"Ordinary blood-training martial artists would surely die if they faced him."

As he spoke, Captain Ge waved his hand.

Immediately, two soldiers carried an incense burner over.

"You have one incense stick's time to consider. If fewer than ten people pass the assessment after one incense stick's time, the assessment will be disqualified."

Before anyone could ask again, a long stick of incense began to burn slowly inside the incense burner.

The wisps of smoke rose slowly, swirling and twisting as they dispersed into the air.

As time passed, the group of young martial artists who had gathered in front of the training ground began to disperse one after another.

Ordinary blood-training martial artists would surely die if they faced him.

The Night Watchman.

Even the poorest people in the shantytowns could risk their lives to get in, as long as they were willing.

They came here simply to obtain the resources of the City Defense Division in advance, in order to prepare for their future entry into the City Defense Division.

However, the current assessment requirements have exceeded their psychological capacity.

More than fifty people participated in the assessment, and if twenty of them failed, all of them would die.

Only a fool would entrust their life to someone else.

As for the person who made the recommendation...

The person who introduced them was a centurion of the city defense department.

Even if there is blame afterward, it's still better than them losing their lives here.

With this in mind, the group of young martial artists who had originally planned to participate in the assessment dispersed even faster.

Although the incense in the incense burner had only burned a third of the way through, the number of people had rapidly decreased from over fifty to just over thirty.

"If this continues, I'm afraid my chance to advance to supernatural powers will completely disappear."

Seeing that the number of people was decreasing, Zhou An took a deep breath and walked towards the weapon rack.

The onlookers on the city wall, the unreasonable assessment, and the turning point mentioned by the senior brother.

This assessment should be seen as a setup.

"What does he want to do?"

Seeing Zhou An take the swords from the weapon rack and walk straight towards the martial arts stage, Liu Shuqing, who was usually calm, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

"Is this guy crazy?"

"They're rushing to their deaths before even finishing burning an incense stick?"

Seeing Zhou An's sudden action, the group of martial artists who were still hesitating looked over in astonishment.

"Even if he passes the test, so what? There are still nearly thirty people here."

If we follow the half-strike-and-run rule, even if he succeeds, he'll still die here.

Everyone looked puzzled.

Some people who couldn't handle it psychologically simply walked away, fearing that this sudden change would drag them into the assessment.

But most people's eyes were fixed on the figure resolutely walking towards the martial arts stage, and on the incense burning slowly inside the incense burner.

They knew they could leave at any time before the cigarettes burned out.

In addition, some clever young martial artists also seemed to have figured something out.

"What's this person's name?"

Watching Zhou An leap up from the ground and head straight for the martial arts stage, Su Nianqiu of the Red Thread Martial Arts School's beautiful eyes flickered, and her heart stirred slightly.

At that moment, Zhou An's cheerful voice rang out from the stage.

"So-called demons are, in the end, nothing more than blood-shedding creatures..."

As he spoke, Zhou An swung his sword with his left hand and twirled his knife with his right, ignoring the roars of the demons on the field, and looked directly at Captain Ge not far away.

"If I, a junior, were to slaughter them all within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, would that be considered satisfactory?"

"......"

"......"

Upon hearing this, all the young martial artists below the stage were stunned.

arrogant.

This person is far too arrogant.

He actually wanted to kill three demons all by himself.

"We'll talk about it after you've done it."

Looking at Zhou An on the martial arts stage, Captain Ge's eyes flickered slightly, but he spoke without any mercy.

Upon hearing this, Zhou An slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his face showing helplessness, but in his heart he was certain of his guess.

"Alright!"

As soon as the word "good" was uttered, everyone saw Zhou An on the stage push off with both feet, and like an arrow released from a bow, he rushed straight towards the howling demon.
