Heaven Sun City was thriving and flourishing like a piece of brocade.
Lin Feng sat on the moving carriage, admiring the scenery. He couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
In Qihuo Town, the independent houses were the best and the best, but in Xiao Yang City, they could be seen everywhere. There were even more luxurious mansions. In the central district, there were even villas with small bridges and flowing water, which made Lin Feng's eyes brighten.
"The difference is too big." Lin Feng sighed.
Indeed, there was no comparison. Cloud Sun City and Qihuo Town were like Qihuo Town and Lin Village. They were not on the same level.
…
"I heard that there are close to ten thousand people participating in the combat assessment. Is that true?"
"It's true. The twenty towns around Cloud Sun City have more than two thousand people. Cloud Sun City has more than three thousand people. The rest are those who failed the assessment last time."
"Oh my god! Just the Cloud Sun City alone has more preparatory warriors than the twenty towns combined? "
Listening to the discussions in the carriage, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile indifferently. He had learned a lot about the combat assessment from them.
"Close to ten thousand people?" Lin Feng calculated. Yes, the passing rate of each assessment was thirty percent. After deducting the number of casualties, there were still five thousand people who didn't pass. They would have to wait until the next assessment. After all, as long as they didn't die, they could participate in the combat assessment countless times.
Soon —
The carriage had arrived at the destination.
"This is Cloud Sun Martial Gate?" Lin Feng jumped off the carriage. His eyes were filled with vigor and vitality. The bright metallic luster reflected a dazzling light. Cloud Sun Martial Gate covered a large area. The surrounding buildings were like stars surrounding the moon. He couldn't see the bottom of the gate.
Thinking that he would be able to practice martial arts here after passing the assessment, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel excited and expectant.
"Lin Feng!" A clear voice sounded in his ears.
Lin Feng turned his head and saw Ceng Yang, who was dressed in a military uniform, waving at him. Lin Feng smiled and walked over.
"Kid, you're so slow." Ceng Yang said helplessly, "Let's go, I'll take you to get your equipment."
"Equipment? Is that what you're wearing?" Lin Feng noticed that Ceng Yang's body was covered in a layer of turtle-scale-shaped metal armor. It was transparent and as thin as a cicada's wing.
"Yes, the titanium energy suit, and this." Ceng Yang raised his left hand, and a small translucent device on his wrist entered Lin Feng's eyes. It was half the size of a palm and looked very delicate.
"Locator?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
For the actual combat assessment this time, he had made sufficient preparations and had flipped through many relevant books. Because the combat assessment was quite dangerous, there would be a locator. Not only could it determine one's position, but it also had a rescue function. The purpose was to reduce the number of casualties as much as possible.
"It's really strange." While speaking, Lin Feng and Ceng Yang walked side by side into the Firmament Martial Gate.
In front of them was a vast expanse. Although there were thousands of people densely packed, it still felt empty. Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh. Compared to the Firmament Martial Arts Hall, it was the difference between the moon and the firefly.
Lin Feng looked around. What was different from the Preparatory Warrior Assessment was that almost everyone had brought a weapon with them for the actual combat assessment. Sabers, swords, gloves, and rings were the most common weapons. There were also many sticks, spears, and axes. Some preparatory warriors even carried bows and crossbows.
Although the power of a fist could be fully exerted, in terms of attack power, it was inferior to weapons.
With the same power, a fist could injure a demonic beast, but a sword or spear could pierce a demonic beast. A saber or axe could split a demonic beast in half. Even if it was just a simple fist or ring, it could increase the attack power by 10%.
For example, if a warrior had 1000 Jin of pure strength, he could reach 1200 Jin of attack power with a sword, 1300 Jin with a saber, and 1500 Jin with a spear! Of course, this was calculated based on the warrior's familiarity with weapons.
Strength and attack power were just like the strength and defense of one's body; they were different.
Soon —
Following the crowd, Lin Feng came to the equipment collection area and lined up.
"Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, Ma Xiao."
…
"Wu Yan Martial Hall, Qian Ningning."
…
After the preparatory warriors reported their names and received their equipment, it was Lin Feng's turn in less than half an hour.
"Firmament Martial Gate, Lin Feng?" The warrior in charge of the equipment distribution was slightly surprised. He raised his head and stared at Lin Feng, then handed over a tracking device about half the size of a palm. Lin Feng reached out and took it. The number "3" was printed on it. He couldn't help but be curious.
In an instant, there were exclamations all around. Lin Feng only felt that all eyes were focused on him.
"What's going on?" Lin Feng was dumbfounded. At this time, the warrior in charge of the equipment distribution asked, "Titanium Energy Suit, how many layers?"
"Second layer." Lin Feng nodded.
The Titanium Energy Suit could form a tortoise-scaled Titanium Snail on the surface of the warrior's body. It was a 'trump card' for warriors when fighting against magical beasts. The defensive strength depended on the warrior's physical strength. The first layer was 1.2 times, and the second layer was 1.5 times.
The Titanium Energy Suit not only increased the warrior's defensive strength, but also gave the warrior an extra layer of defense, greatly reducing the warrior's casualty rate.
"As expected of '3'."
"He's already an Intermediate Warrior at such a young age!"
"Amazing …"
Lin Feng smiled indifferently as he heard the envious voices of the crowd.
The higher the layers of the Titanium Energy Suit, the stronger the defensive strength. However, the pressure and demands on the body were also greater. For the second layer, the warrior's physical strength had to reach the standard of an Intermediate Warrior, which was 4 Titanium Energy Suits.
"That's amazing. Where's No. 3?" Ceng Yang praised.
"3 … What's so special about it?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
As he spoke, Lin Feng placed the locator on his left wrist and turned it on. The locator emitted a flash of light, and two rays of light extended from the top and bottom. With a 'kacha' sound, they tightly locked onto each other. The number '3' had already disappeared, and was replaced by a circular map module.
"The odd number represents the strength of the score. 3 is the third place," Ceng Yang explained.
"So that's how it is," Lin Feng nodded and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Then 1 … Is he called Wang Aolong?"
Lin Feng already knew from Qin Lie that Wang Aolong, who had three perfect scores, was his biggest competitor this time.
"He's quite well-informed, but everyone knows." Ceng Yang's face flashed with envy, "That guy is a monster. His physical fitness was close to that of a Primary Warrior when he was just a Preparatory Warrior. He's the most outstanding talent in the Firmament Martial Sect this year."
Lin Feng smiled faintly and did not say anything.
Putting on the titanium energy suit, Lin Feng and Ceng Yang soon stepped into the transmission array. Destination —
Training Forest 101.
※ ※ ※
"This is the place for the actual combat assessment — Training Forest 101."
Lin Feng looked around with a solemn expression. The temperature here was much lower than in the Firmament City. From time to time, he could hear the low roars of magical beasts. There was a faint smell of wild beasts in the air, which gave people a creepy feeling. Even if there was a sea of people in front of him, he still felt cold and gloomy.
The forest was the territory of magical beasts.
"The Training Forest is a forest of magical beasts that has been completely explored and controlled by warriors." Lin Feng slowly walked forward and looked at the endless forest … Suddenly, there was a chill behind him. Lin Feng turned his head and saw a familiar face not far away. His eyes were sharp.
Lin Nanhu!
"Sure enough, he's also here." Lin Feng's lips curled coldly.
In an instant, Lin Nanhu's face turned pale. He looked away in panic and hid in the crowd. At this moment —
"Lin Feng!" A rough voice came from afar.
Even though the surroundings were extremely noisy, Lin Feng's voice clearly reached his ears. Lin Feng turned his head and saw Qin Lie, who was wearing a fiery-red martial robe, waving at him. Lin Feng smiled and walked over. He cupped his hands and said, "Vice Sect Leader."
"Oh … not bad. You've reached the standard of an Intermediate Warrior?" Qin Lie laughed heartily.
Lin Feng nodded. Compared to the first layer, the second layer of the titanium energy suit had a much clearer and denser pattern.
His gaze shifted slightly. Beside Qin Lie, there was a red-haired youth with a cold expression.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Wang Aolong." Qin Lie tilted his head and pointed with a big smile on his face. "Ah Long, this is Lin Feng, the one I mentioned to you before. The Heaven Sun Martial Sect will rely on you two to get first place in this martial practitioner combat assessment."
Wang Aolong proudly said, "I alone am enough."
Lin Feng smiled faintly and did not mind it too much.
"Shameless boasting!" Lin Feng turned his head and saw a young man who was as tall and muscular as a black bear, holding a gigantic axe in his hand, puffing out his chest proudly. Beside him was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face. He didn't look amazing, but there were three silver stars on the shoulder of his military uniform!
Lin Feng was shocked.
Colonel of the Heavenly Martial Army?
"Xiong Lei!" Wang Aolong's eyes flashed with hostility.
"Don't think that you are first just because you got '1'." The giant axe in Xiong Lei's hand shook as he slammed his chest. The spiral patterns on the titanium suit trembled slightly. Only then did Lin Feng notice that the spiral patterns on Xiong Lei's titanium energy suit were even clearer and denser. They were even better than his own.
"Third layer? Exceeding the body strength of 8 titanium? He should be '2'! "Lin Feng thought.
"A big stupid bear." Wang Aolong coldly mocked.
"What did you say, you concave dragon!" Xiong Lei raised his head and stood up straight. He was a head taller than Wang Aolong.
"Hmph!" The two stared at each other. Obviously, they were a pair of 'enemies'. Lin Feng smiled indifferently and didn't participate. He looked at the colonel of the Firmament Martial Army and saw that he and Qin Lie were staring at each other with sparks flying. Lin Feng immediately understood.
It seemed that these two were the real enemies …
"Li Tong, long time no see." Qin Lie stretched out his right hand.
"Haha, Vice Sect Leader Qin, how have you been?" Li Tong shook hands with Qin Lie before letting go. His gaze fell on Lin Feng. He smiled and said, "This little brother should be Lin Feng, right?"
Lin Feng was startled. He didn't think that this' important person 'would recognize him. He immediately cupped his hands and greeted, "Colonel Li."
"What do you think, Lin Feng?" Li Tong smiled and said amiably, "My son, Li Mang, doesn't have enough authority and can't give you enough benefits. For a first-rate genius like you, the Firmament Martial Army is willing to give you a standalone mansion worth 1000 Sky Martial Coins, as well as 1000 Sky Martial Coins as starting capital. Furthermore, you can immediately join the special forces. What do you think? "
Lin Feng was stunned. He didn't expect this Colonel Li to be Lieutenant Colonel Li Mang's father.
When he heard the shocking number, Lin Feng was completely stunned …
Did he hear wrongly?
A standalone mansion? 1000 Sky Martial Coins!
A few days ago, Lieutenant Colonel Li Mang had given him 100 Sky Martial Coins and a standalone mansion, which was already generous enough. Now, the benefits were increased by 10 times!
"Heavens …" Lin Feng was unable to calm down.
Although he didn't know the difference between the special forces and the elite forces, he could clearly distinguish between 1000 Sky Martial Coins and 100 Sky Martial Coins. 1000 Sky Martial Coins … that was a total of 100,000 gold coins! As far as he knew, 100,000 gold coins was enough to buy a remote mountain and establish a clan!
However, Lin Feng wasn't the only one who was stunned. Wang Aolong and Xiong Lei had already stopped arguing. They stared at Lin Feng in disbelief.
First-rate genius? This unremarkable Lin Feng was actually a first-rate genius?
What kind of joke was this?
(Please recommend me! Xiao Xiao's voice is hoarse from shouting. Heh!)
