Following Wang Daojun's finger, a group of soldiers approached the drill grounds. There were roughly a thousand soldiers in the group, and they were in an orderly formation. Although they were still very far away, they gave off an intimidating aura.
Ji Dong squinted his eyes when he saw this group of soldiers. His sixth sense was stronger than ordinary people's, not to mention that his soul force was so powerful. He could see it clearly before anyone else could.
It was an army of a thousand people, marching forward in a horizontal formation. This was not a simple army, because every soldier was riding on a dragon. Among the Earth Dragons, the one with the most balanced offensive and defensive abilities, Metal Dragons.
In terms of grade, the Metal Dragons were not inferior to the Diamond Corps' Earthshattering Dragons. They might not be as good as the Earthshattering Dragons in terms of defense, but they were superior in terms of attack. Ordinary Metal Dragons were Class 5 Magical Beasts. They were roughly five meters long and three meters tall, and their bodies were covered in tough, metallic scales. Not only were they extremely fast, but they were also persistent. They would charge at the frontlines, using their sharp claws and fangs to tear their opponents to pieces. They could not fly, but they could use their mana to shoot metal spikes to attack their enemies.
They were extremely balanced in both close combat and ranged combat. Every single person in this army was riding a Metal Dragon like this. They formed an orderly formation, which naturally gave off a different feeling. Furthermore, every ten people had an exceptionally large Metal Dragon at the very front. This was a Class 6 Metal Dragon that had evolved once. Every hundred people had an even larger Metal Dragon King, which was over eight meters long and covered in silver scales. The Metal Dragon King was a Class 8 Magical Beast. It was extremely powerful, and the strength of the soldiers riding on it could be imagined. At the very front of this army was a fifteen-meter-long dragon with a pair of wings.
The highest level of Earth Dragons was the Class 8. Class 8 Earth Dragons were the kings of Earth Dragons. Only an extremely small number of mutated Earth Dragons could break through to Class 9, such as the lightning-fire Earth Dragon that Ji Dong and Fury had encountered on the Evil Saint Island.
The Colossal Dragon standing proudly at the front of the group was not an Earth Dragon. It was a true Colossal Dragon with a noble bloodline. It was the master of metal energy, the Gold Evil Dragon.
Without a doubt, this Gold Evil Dragon was the representative of the Metal Element Giant Dragon Clan. Its 15-meter-long body showed that it was already an adult giant dragon. Although its cultivation had yet to break through to the realm of a Level Ten Divine Beast, it had already reached the peak of the Level Nine, and it was possible for it to break through at any time.
The army led by the Gold Evil Dragons had a total of 1,111 people. The armor on the warriors was the same color as the scales of the Metal Dragons they were riding on. The warriors riding on the ash-gray Metal Dragons had iron-colored armor, and it was the same for the warriors riding on the evolved Metal Dragons. As for the 10 warriors that were 70% Metal Dragon Kings, their armor was naturally silver. The warriors riding on the backs of the Gold Evil Dragons were clad in golden armor, looking indescribably noble and lofty.
"Golden Thug Army? Speaker Wang, what do you mean? " Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Daojun in surprise. With his cultivation of nine crowns, he could naturally tell who the newcomer was.
Wang Daojun said calmly, "When the President came back, his evaluation of Mr. Ji Dong was that Mr. Ji Dong already had the strength to fight against you for a period of time. To be able to fight against a Supreme-Being powerhouse like you who possesses Primal Chaos Gold and has Mana as high as Level 96, you can imagine Mr. Ji Dong's strength. Our Chamber of Commerce doesn't have anyone with a higher cultivation base than the President. Therefore, I invited a thousand-man team from the Gold Thug Army. The first test is to test Mr. Ji Dong's ability to survive. It's very simple. As long as Mr. Ji Dong can survive for an hour under the siege of the thousand-man Gold Thug Army, he'll pass the test. During this period, he's not allowed to borrow the strength of his mount or kill any of the Gold Thug Army's soldiers or their mounts.
"Wang Daojun, don't go overboard!" Zhou Xiaoxiao was furious after listening to Speaker Wang's words.
Wang Daojun glanced at him coldly and said, "President, please watch your words. According to the rules passed down from our ancestors, the President will recommend the candidates. However, the test method is decided by the council. This is a decision made by all of us. If the President thinks that Mr. Ji Dong is not capable of passing the test, you don't have to go through with it."
"Bullsh * t!" Zhou Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Is this an ordinary team of the Golden Thug Army? An ordinary troop is led by a Gold Thug Martial God and ten Gold Thug Martial Generals. However, this troop of yours has gathered all the elites of the Gold Thug Army. There are a thousand ordinary Gold Thug soldiers, a hundred Gold Thug Martial Generals, ten Gold Thug Martial Gods, and the Gold Thug King, the Gold Thug Army Commander, White Grass. Even I might not be able to defeat them. Is this a test? One hour and you're not even allowed to use your mounts. You're obviously making things difficult for him. "
In the face of Zhou Xiaoxiao's questioning, Wang Daojun did not say anything else. He placed his hands behind his back and lifted his head to look in the direction of the drill ground, ignoring Zhou Xiaoxiao.
"I accept." Right at that moment, Ji Dong's voice was heard. It was simple and straightforward.
"Ji Dong, this test is …" Yao Qianshu, who was standing next to Ji Dong, said softly.
Ji Dong shook his head and said calmly, "On the path of cultivation, the best way to break through is to continuously challenge one's own limits. It's only 1,000 people. What's the point? President Wang, you can start the timer. "As he spoke, he leaped into the air and landed on the drill ground.
Wang Daojun could not help but reveal a trace of surprise on his face. Although he knew that Zhou Xiao Xiao's people would not admit defeat so easily, he did not expect Ji Dong to agree so readily. He almost did not hesitate to agree to this almost impossible test.
When Zhou Xiaoxiao saw Ji Dong heading for the drill ground, she said angrily, "Wang Daojun, I really want to know what the next two tests are." Although the test he had accepted was also extremely difficult, all three tests combined were only equivalent to Ji Dong's test. Although he had guessed that Wang Daojun would definitely make arrangements, he did not expect it to be so difficult. He could imagine that the next two tests would not be as easy as this one.
Wang Daojun said in a low voice, "President, please control your emotions. Don't forget that this test determines the future of the Chamber of Commerce for the next 100 years. It also decides whether the Chamber of Commerce can borrow the three Divine Artifacts. The council has to be cautious. Without absolute strength and perseverance, how can he get the full support of the Chamber of Commerce and the assistance of the Divine Artifacts?"
Although Zhou Xiaoxiao was angry, he had to admit that Wang Daojun's words made sense. After all, Ji Dong was just an outsider introduced by him. Apart from him, no one in the Chamber of Commerce knew Ji Dong. If he wanted the Chamber of Commerce to support him unreservedly and lend him the Divine Artifacts, he had to show his strength in front of the council and prove it with his own strength. This was why the council finally passed Wang Daojun's proposal and implemented such a difficult test for Ji Dong. Even the members of the council who supported Zhou Xiaoxiao agreed. The successor of the president was very important. It was related to the development of the Chamber of Commerce for the next 100 years. It involved the interests of every member of the Chamber of Commerce. How could they not be cautious?
"Start the countdown." Seeing that Zhou Xiaoxiao was silent, Wang Daojun ordered his subordinates. Immediately, someone took out a thick stick of incense and lit it. There was a mark of one hour on it. At the same time, a ray of colorful light rose from the platform and exploded in mid-air, turning into a beautiful flower of light. This was an order to the Golden Thug Army. They could start the attack now.
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at the other Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples beside him and was shocked to find that they were not anxious at all. It was as if the enemy that was about to face was not their comrade.
Puzzled, Zhou Xiaoxiao asked Fury, "Why are you guys not anxious at all? You should know that Ji Dong is facing the elites of the Golden Thug Army, the absolute elites. The Golden Thug Army is the number one army in the entire Xi She Empire. It is as famous as the Diamond Army of the Middle Earth Empire. In terms of actual combat power, it is only second to the Diamond Army. He is only one person, and he can't use his mount. He can't hurt the members of the Golden Thug Army.
Do you think he can hold out for one hour? "Fury laughed and said," It's just a small matter. If Ji Dong can't even get through this, not to mention the Chamber of Commerce's council, even I, as his senior, won't let him go. Oh, right, fatty, you might not know this, but a few years ago, Ji Dong faced the entire Extermination Army of the Eastern Wood Empire alone. Do you know what the outcome was? At that time, Ji Dong's cultivation hadn't reached the Six Crowns yet. I don't remember. "
Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned and asked, "What was the outcome?"
Fury said, "I heard from Ji Dong that he fought against the Extermination Army for the sake of the Forest Demons. In the end, he almost destroyed the Extermination Army and saved the Forest Demons. The current Ji Dong can't be compared to him at that time. I have absolute confidence in him."
Zhou Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "Alright. Even you, the senior, have confidence in him. I have no reason to believe him."
Fury said, "I'm curious. You are just a Chamber of Commerce. How can you mobilize the number one army of the Western Jin Empire? How can you mobilize such an elite army?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao said proudly, "The Golden Thug Army is supported by our Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce. Without our financial support, do you think it's easy for the Western Jin Empire to support such a powerful Earth Dragon Army? It's not just the Western Jin Empire. Other than the Central Empire, which has enough money to support the Diamond Army, the number one army of the other three empires is supported by the Chamber of Commerce. To be frank, the status of our Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce in the Western Jin Empire is not much lower than the status of the Prince Equivalent Palace in the Central Empire. "
While they were talking, Ji Dong was surrounded. When Ji Dong landed on the ground, the Golden Thug Army had already charged in the direction of Ji Dong as fireworks lit up on the General Roll Call Stage.
The Commander of the Golden Thug Army, White Misty Grass, did not move. He was still sitting on the back of his Golden Thug Dragon. The other members of the Golden Thug Dragon swept past him like two torrents of steel and dashed toward Ji Dong.
The Golden Thug Army's formation immediately displayed the Golden Thug Army's valiance. The Metal Dragons, which were huge creatures, did not show any signs of disarray under the command of the Golden Thug Army's warriors. The Metal Dragon Kings charged forward with five Golden Thug War Gods at the forefront. Silver spikes slowly protruded from their heads and pointed directly at Ji Dong.
The two torrents of steel did not charge toward Hyōhime in a straight line. Instead, they made a half circle around each other and formed a huge arc before charging toward Ji Dong. It was as if they were going to tear Ji Dong into pieces in the blink of an eye.
Since Zhou Xiaoxiao did not know what the assessment was about, he did not inform the Golden Thug Army about it. He did not know that Wang Daojun's order to the Golden Thug Army was to kill and not defeat them. Wang Daojun appeared calm on the surface, but he was already close to losing his mind after feeling the death of his grandson.
When the two torrents of steel began charging toward him, Ji Dong narrowed his eyes in agitation. A faint silver light flickered in his eyes. In an instant, his soul power was fully unleashed. The Golden Thug Army's thunderous charge in other people's eyes was extremely slow to his soul power.
Ji Dong slowly raised his hands by his sides. The spectators could clearly see a layer of milky-white light emerging from his body. Then, a pair of wings suddenly unfurled from his back. The huge wings carried a special aura that made the seemingly weak Ji Dong feel as if he was confronting the Golden Thug Army.
Then, a faint layer of red light emerged from the milky-white light. The faint light suddenly became stronger and turned into an intense red light that shot into the sky. A layer of dark red armor appeared under the ferocious mask and instantly enveloped Ji Dong's body. It was the Divine Fire Sage King Armor.
Ji Dong did not even look at the Golden Thug Army's soldiers charging at him. Instead, he lifted his head and looked at the sky. His ferocious dark red mask shone with a strange luster under the sunlight. In an instant, two rays of gold and black light rose from his raised hands and soared ten meters into the sky. Intense Dual Fire Attribute Magic was released. With Ji Dong's body as the center, the air within a hundred-meter radius began to distort.
The Golden Thug Army's soldiers, including their metal dragons, who were charging at Hyōhime with an unstoppable momentum, felt a sense of suffocation. Their initial momentum slowed down, and even their breathing became heavier.
