2681 The eye-catching Tang Zhen (1)
The examiners were all extremely interested in Tang Zhen’s performance. This was especially so for the lady. Her face was filled with astonishment.
His impression of Tang Zhen had also changed because of this. He guessed that Tang Zhen might not be boasting but was truly very confident in his own strength.
As this thought rose in his mind, he saw that Tang Zhen had already started practicing. The anger in the training ground immediately became suppressed.
A sword light circulated and wrapped around Tang Zhen’s body. Its speed was so fast that no one could see the trajectory of the longsword.
Just by relying on this terrifying speed, one would know that a hundred-kilogram single-handed sword was simply unable to cause any pressure to Tang Zhen.
If he were to fight against it, he would be in great danger when faced with such an astonishingly fast attack.
If they were not careful, they would die on the spot.
The reason why the demon fighters used heavy swords was that most of the monsters had thick skin and flesh. Ordinary weapons could not cause any damage to them.
It was like a wooden stick that could not break through metal armor.
With the rune weapons that were heavy enough and had special attack attributes, coupled with the immense strength of the demon fighters, they could easily break through the monsters ‘defense.
The more powerful the monster, the more advanced the rune weapon would be. The weight of the weapon would also gradually increase.
The weapons of the ordinary members were all below 500 kilograms, while none of the weapons of the high-level troops were below 500 kilograms.
From Tang Zhen’s current performance, it was clear that he possessed the qualifications to control a high grade weapon. He was clearly not joking when he said that he was prepared to advance two levels in one go.
Half of the time had passed and Tang Zhen had already finished his practice. He kept his sword and looked in the direction of the examiner.
“Alright!”
An examiner let out a sigh of praise, waking up the audience who were still in a daze, followed by a series of warm applause.
One had to admit that Tang Zhen’s performance had shocked everyone.
Facing such a player, the candidates were under a lot of pressure. Of course, this didn’t have much of an impact on their advancement.
The assessment criteria had not been changed. The only difference was that those who scored well in the assessment would receive more rewards and a better position.
If there were no accidents, Tang Zhen should be able to obtain the first place in this competition!
Although there were some people who were envious and jealous, their strength was indeed far inferior to Tang Zhen. Therefore, they could only obediently shut their mouths to avoid humiliating themselves.
Just as everyone expected, Zhen Tang passed the first round of the test with an excellent result.
Without waiting for too long, the second round of assessment began.
This time, the candidates had to engage in actual combat. Although they were using wooden weapons and wearing protective equipment, it was still dangerous.
To a true master, a wooden sword was sharp enough and could be used as a killing weapon.
This test seemed simple, but it still required one to give it their all, just like a real battle.
After all, the examiners were watching from the side, and all of them had sharp eyes. They were very clear whether the candidates were being perfunctory.
However, with Tang Zhen around, the situation was very different. The candidates were all secretly praying that they would not encounter Tang Zhen.
If they were to go up against him, they would definitely be eliminated and lose a lot of face.
The audience was waiting for Tang Zhen’s performance. Although the sword technique drill had already proven his strength, his true combat strength would still depend on his performance in actual combat.
Soon, a staff member read out the numbers, and the candidates walked to the center of the field one after another, then began the actual combat as required.
Compared to the swordsmanship demonstration just now, this kind of battle was obviously more eye-catching. The audience would exclaim from time to time, clapping and cheering for the candidates!
The examiners stared at the two sides of the battle without blinking, recording their performance and giving their final assessment.
Soon, it was Tang Zhen’s turn again. Some people in the audience automatically applauded and cheered loudly.
These spectators were all family members of the demon subduing troops, and they all had a certain status. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be qualified to enter this place.
As for Tang Zhen’s opponent, he was a candidate with pretty good results. However, there was a huge gap between him and Tang Zhen.
After hearing that he was going to fight against Tang Zhen, he walked to the center of the arena with a depressed expression. However, he quickly adjusted his state of mind.
Regardless of Tang Zhen’s strength, it was fine as long as he performed well. The examiner would not use victory or defeat to determine the results. Instead, it would depend on his performance.
With this thought in mind, the participant quickly regained his calm. At the same time, he looked at Tang Zhen with a slightly provocative gaze.
Although Tang Zhen’s performance was amazing, he wasn’t that far off. In terms of actual combat, Tang Zhen might not be his opponent.
Tang Zhen’s face was expressionless. When the staff announced the start of the match, the wooden sword in his hand had already swept out.
The opponent was shocked and quickly blocked with his sword. As a result, he heard a crisp ” crack ” sound and his wooden sword was broken.
The wooden sword was as fast as lightning, and it landed on the candidate’s shoulder like a falling feather.
The candidate was stunned for a moment. Then, he waved his hand in defeat with a dejected expression.
The audience’s eyes were wide open. They had originally wanted to enjoy a wonderful performance, but they did not expect the outcome to be decided in the blink of an eye.
At the same time that he felt disappointed in his heart, he also had a deeper understanding of the strength that Tang Zhen possessed.
It was not that his opponent was too weak, but Tang Zhen’s strength was too strong. Both parties were not on the same level at all.
If they wanted to see Tang Zhen’s performance, they had to find an opponent that matched his strength. However, among the hundred over candidates, who could be compared to Tang Zhen?
Just as the crowd was waiting for the examiner to announce that Tang Zhen had passed, an examiner suddenly stood up and walked in front of Tang Zhen.
“You’ve said before that you want to advance two ranks at once, but according to the rules, this is not allowed.
We’ve all seen your performance. You do have the corresponding strength, and you’ve completely reached the standard to be promoted by two levels.
I can personally vouch for you and apply for a promotion, but you have to agree to two of my requests.”
Tang Zhen looked at the lady in front of him and nodded with a soft smile.
“No problem,”
“I have two requests,” the woman continued.”First, you have to fight with me and see your true strength.
After you pass the test, you will join my team and become my subordinate.”
After hearing the woman’s words, the people in the surroundings exclaimed in surprise. At the same time, they looked at Tang Zhen with envious eyes.
As for the examiners, some of them shook their heads and chuckled, while some of them revealed a gloomy expression.
Tang Zhen didn’t ask about the background of the other party’s group. For her to be able to appear here as an examiner and even promise to fulfill Tang Zhen’s request in public, it showed that this woman was definitely not an ordinary person.
Tang Zhen’s original goal was to join the core of the demon subduing unit and obtain more information.
There was an opportunity in front of him. Tang Zhen had no reason to reject it.
Seeing Tang Zhen nod his head in agreement, the lady extended her hand and beckoned. The wooden sword beside her flew into her hand.
This method of retrieving things from a distance had already proven the woman’s strength. She far surpassed the candidates here.
you can attack with all your strength. I want to see how strong you are!
The woman held the wooden sword in her hand as she pointed it at Tang Zhen and coldly said.
“Then come!”
Tang Zhen let out a low roar. The wooden sword hacked down from the air. This was already the maximum attack that this puppet body could unleash.
Any more would have caused serious damage, such as internal injuries or broken bones!
The woman’s eyes became even brighter when she saw Tang Zhen’s technique. She brandished her wooden sword and went up to receive it.
