"General Tang, I heard that you spent a lot of money to place your junior brother into the Qianlong Department." Gu Mode, the ninth general of the Third Army's War Dragon Department, said with a half-smile: "It's just that
Will your junior brother be able to pass the examination in three months? Or is General Tang prepared to let your junior brother join the demon-suppressing army at all costs?"
It sounded like a joke between friends, but Tang Guao knew exactly what it was aimed at.
Because this Gu Mode and he were not friends, on the contrary, they had some rifts, and they had conflicts in the past.
"No need to worry." Tang Guao responded unhurriedly.
"This person must be self-aware in order to go further. It would be terrible if he does not know his own abilities." Gu Mode said in a self-conscious manner, with a very obvious sarcasm.
Like Tang Guao, he is a powerful emperor, and it is precisely because he is at the same level that conflicts are more likely to arise.
Under normal circumstances, no one wants to get involved in the conflict between two powerful emperors, and neither party is easy to offend.
Faced with Gu Mode's cynicism, Tang Guao looked solemn and did not respond.
The first step of the assessment lasts for one hour. Hundreds of reserve sergeants must answer a thousand questions within the prescribed hour.
Two quarters of an hour passed, and someone had already finished answering.
"Who is that?"
"Xiao Jinglong from the eighth team."
"Xiao Jinglong, is he the proud man of Canggu Holy Land?"
"Not bad, let's see how he fares in the final assessment."
While the generals were talking one after another, a second person immediately answered a thousand questions.
"Mei Luoxiang from Team 12, she is a disciple of Tianlan Holy Land."
Some members of the Demon Suppressing Army come from various sect forces, but no matter which force they come from or what their background is, they must pass the assessment before they can truly enter the Demon Suppressing Army and become Demon Suppressing Sergeants.
Like Tang Guao, if you pay some price, the most you can do is let Chen Zong enter the Qianlong Department to participate in training, and you can't directly skip the Qianlong Department and become a demon-suppressing sergeant.
Immediately, the third person passed the assessment.
"Who is that?"
"Let me take a look at the people from Team 35."
"His name is Chen Zong."
"General Tang, is that your junior brother?" asked the mid-level general from the Fourth Army's War Dragon Division.
"Yes." Tang Guao nodded.
He paid a price and placed his junior disciple in the Qianlong Department to participate in training. It was not a secret. Basically, all the generals knew about it.
"It seems that General Tang's junior brother is very good. He is the third to answer all the questions among hundreds of people." The middle-grade general said with a smile.
"Just because the answer is complete doesn't mean it's correct." Gu Mode smiled coldly and interjected.
Because he answered all the questions in about two quarters of an hour, Chen Zong also attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Time passes slowly. An hour has passed. Regardless of whether the answers have been answered or not, the first step of the assessment has been completed.
"Congratulations to all of you. The people who have all passed the examination and answered all the thousand questions correctly include Xiao Jinglong, Mei Luoxiang, Chen Zong, Jing Zhengyang..."
There are hundreds of reserve sergeants, and there are more than 20 people who have passed all the thousand questions in the first step assessment.
"All the answers were correct." The eleven members of the 35th team were a little unbelievable. They had two or three months longer than Chen Zong.
"It's just a knowledge test, so what if you're all right? If you can't practice the Demon Control Seal, it's useless." Dong Fei sneered.
"Brother Dong is right. The first step of the assessment is just the most common assessment. Whether you have mastered the Demon Control Seal or not is the key point."
Ouyang Ze's expression moved slightly and he glanced at Chen Zong more, but he didn't pay too much attention.
Judging from previous years, the first step of the bachelor's assessment is the simplest. After all, although there are many types of underground monsters, as many as tens of thousands, the brain power of every cultivator who has cultivated to the extreme human realm is far superior to that of ordinary people.
, whether it is memory or understanding ability, there is a substantial improvement, as long as you are willing to put in the time and effort, you will remember it.
Therefore, Tang Guao was not surprised. This was normal. If he failed to pass even this test, he would have to redefine his junior brother's abilities.
Fortunately, I didn't let myself down. Instead, I was a little surprised, but it was just a small surprise.
"The second step of assessment is the focus."
"Thirty-five teams, starting from the first team."
Twelve people from the first team stepped forward, while the other thirty-four teams retreated to the side.
The twelve people in the first team stood at a certain distance apart.
"Now, release the demon control seal you have condensed."
As the voice of the first general of the Hidden Dragon Division rang out, the twelve people in the first team formed seals with their hands to summon the demon control seals in the sea of consciousness.
Lines of black light emerged, surrounding the heads of the twelve reserve sergeants, slowly rotating, and the characters on each black light group were the word "imperial".
The instructor of the first team suddenly showed a happy expression. All twelve team members had condensed the Demon Control Seal, and he would be rewarded with military merit.
"Disperse the Demon Control Seal and control it within three meters!" the first general of the Qianlong Department suddenly ordered.
Suddenly, ten of the twelve people in the first team quickly dispersed the demon control seals, turning them into a black chaotic demonic energy that filled the whole body and controlled not to spread, while the reaction of the two seemed to be a step slower.
, after dissipating, the black chaotic demonic energy transformed by the Demon Control Seal also has a momentum that is difficult to completely control within three meters, and some traces of it float to three meters away.
"Reconsolidate the Demon Control Seal!" the first battle general spoke again.
Twelve people formed seals one after another, first condensing the demon-control talismans, and then condensing the demon-control talismans into seals. This took time, and it was still in full view of the public, which would invisibly increase the pressure.
In the end, nine people skillfully re-condensed the Demon Control Seal, one succeeded in re-condensing slightly slowly, and two failed at the last moment.
"Ten of you have passed the test, but two of you have not passed the test. Step aside and make other arrangements." The first general said directly, without any mercy.
For them, if it works, it means it works, and if it doesn't, it means it doesn't work. No reason or excuse is of any use, because the ferocious underground monsters and cunning underground demons will not listen.
Two of the first team were eliminated, which made the other teams nervous.
It can be said that basically hundreds of reserve sergeants have successfully condensed the first type of Demon Control Seal. The difference lies in the length of time and proficiency in mastering it.
Now it seems that those who have gathered the Demon Control Seal are not guaranteed to pass the assessment 100%.
After all, a person can condense the Demon Control Seal in the Demon Qi training room without any distractions and without any interference. He can proceed slowly. If he fails, he can try again once, twice or three times. It doesn't matter. But here, under the watchful eyes of many people
, there is only one chance, and the feeling is completely different.
There were twelve people in the second team, and the results were even worse. Only eight people passed the assessment, and four people were eliminated and made other arrangements.
Of the twelve people in the third team, nine passed the assessment and three were eliminated.
Of the twelve members of the fourth team, five passed the assessment and seven were eliminated.
One team after another undergoes assessments, watching batch after batch of people being eliminated. The lower the ranking team, the greater the pressure they bear.
Because this is related to whether they can join the demon-suppressing army and become true demon-suppressing sergeants.
Team 5!
Team Six!
Team 7!
Team 8!
I saw the much-watched Xiao Jinglong forming seals with one hand, very skillfully condensing one demon-control talisman after another, and quickly condensing nine demon-control talismans into demon-control seals. The whole process was like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the whole person
Extremely confident and high-spirited.
"This guy is really good."
"I heard that it took this guy one and a half months to successfully condense the Demon Control Seal. It's really outstanding."
There is no doubt that Xiao Jinglong is the center of attention at this moment.
"This son is wanted by our First Army War Dragon Division." The high-ranking general of the First Army's War Dragon Division spoke directly, with a very domineering tone.
"Are you kidding? This boy belongs to our Thorny Dragon Division." The top-ranking general of the First Army's Thorny Dragon Division smiled coldly and started fighting for it.
The five demon-suppressing armies, although the First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army, the Fourth Army, and the Fifth Army are not ranked in terms of strength, but are only named according to the order of creation, it is certain that the First Army has the oldest qualification.
The original demon-suppressing army was not divided into five armies. The original general commander also directly commanded this army. Therefore, in every aspect, the first army was the oldest, deepest and most powerful.
branch.
Seeing the high-ranking generals from the Civil War Dragon Division and Thorny Dragon Division of the First Army begin to compete for Xiao Jinglong, the generals from other armies did not say anything. Firstly, it was very difficult to win, and secondly, there were still many people who had not been tested.
No need to be in such a hurry.
Xiao Jinglong's performance was amazing, and the eighth team was also very good. They all passed the assessment and became the first team to pass the assessment. The instructor of the eighth team had a smile on his face.
Because the second step of the assessment determines whether you can become a true demon-suppressing sergeant, as for the third step of the assessment, there is another mystery.
After the eighth team, there were other people who performed well, but compared with Xiao Jinglong, there was still some gap.
In the twelfth team, Mei Luoxiang easily summoned the demon-controlling seal in the sea of consciousness, and then easily dispersed the demon-controlling seal, filling it within a three-meter range around the body without leaking even a trace, forming a knot with one hand.
Seal, the plain hands are as pleasing to the eye as plucking strings, there is a kind of majesty different from Xiao Jinglong, which once again attracts everyone's attention.
But unfortunately, not all of the twelfth team passed the assessment, and one was eliminated.
…
Team 15!
…
Team 30!
Finally, it was the turn of the last team, which was the 35th team where Chen Zong belonged.
"Don't be nervous, use all your abilities." Ouyang Ze said in a message.
One by one, they took a deep breath, tried to calm themselves down, stepped forward, and under the gaze of many people, strode to the central open space of the hall, and arranged them neatly in three rows and four columns, with plenty of space between each person.
They are all five meters.
Tang Guao subconsciously straightened his body and stared at Chen Zong with his bright eyes, hoping that his junior brother could give him a surprise.
