"So many people!"
"Are they all here to participate in the preparatory warrior assessment?"
Standing in front of the Qihuo Martial Hall and looking at the crowd, Lin Feng could not help but be a little dumbfounded. Although he had heard from Ceng Yang that there were more than two hundred people participating in the assessment, seeing it with his own eyes was a different feeling, especially since everyone here had considerable strength.
The pressure surged, but Lin Feng quickly recovered and smiled in a carefree manner.
As long as he could exert his strength normally, he could pass the assessment. As for the others …
What did it have to do with him?
Stepping through the door, Lin Feng looked around. It was a spacious martial arts training ground. The wooden style was fresh and natural and comfortable. It was more than ten times larger than the martial arts hall in the Lin Family Village. One floor alone was more than twenty meters high. Even if it accommodated thousands of people, it would not feel crowded.
"This is the Qihuo Martial Hall …"
"As long as I pass the assessment, I can practice martial arts here in the future!"
Lin Feng had a faint smile on his face and did not hide the longing in his eyes. Thinking that he might be able to practice martial arts here in the future, Lin Feng was filled with anticipation. He curiously looked at the crowd around him and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. The lean figure was quite eye-catching in the crowd.
"Brother Ting!" Lin Feng smiled and walked over. Meeting a familiar person in a strange place felt incomparably close.
"Ah, Ah Feng?!" Lin Ting opened his mouth wide and could not help but be stunned.
His dumbfounded eyes stared straight at the young man in coarse linen. Lin Ting shook his head vigorously, as if afraid that he had seen wrongly, "It's really you?"
"It's the real one." Lin Feng smiled and walked over. He stretched out his right fist and bumped it with Lin Ting's.
"Damn, how did you come over!"
"I just came over like this."
…
The two men quickly chatted and did not notice that in the corner of the crowd, a pair of resentful eyes were flickering with coldness, like a hungry wolf.

On the third floor of the Qihuo Martial Hall.
"Father, father!"
The door was pushed open and a gloomy figure rushed in.
Looking at the newcomer, Lin Xianglong frowned slightly, and his voice carried a trace of anger. "How many times have I told you? Why can't you change this impatient character of yours?"
"No, Father, I saw Lin Feng!" Lin Nanhu said anxiously.
"Impossible!" Without even thinking about it, Lin Xianglong rejected the idea. He paused for a moment as a trace of hesitation flashed across his eyes. In a deep voice, he said, "Even if he came to Fire Prayer Town through the teleportation array, without an identity token, he will not be able to enter the gate guarded by the Heavenly Martial Army."
"It's true, Father!" Lin Nanhu nodded heavily.
Lin Xianglong frowned. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Let's go. Take me there."
…
…
Dong! Knock! "Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," Lin Xianglong said as he smelled the tea.
When the door was pushed open, a short young man with disgusting rat spots on his face came into view. He cupped his hands and asked, "May I know why you are looking for Qiu Ban?"
Taking a sip of tea, Lin Jianglong didn't even raise his head as he asked, "Have you done what I told you?"
Qiu Ban replied, "Don't worry, Manager. I've already made the necessary arrangements."
Lin Xianglong nodded and said, "Very good. If this matter succeeds, you will receive many benefits."
"Many thanks, Manager." Qiu Ban was delighted when he heard this, but his smile made the rat spots on his face look even uglier.
"There is one more thing." Lin Xianglong put down the teacup in his hand and paused for a moment. His eyes flashed as he asked, "If I say that I want to lower the sensitivity of the energy stones, will that be possible?"
"This …" Qiu Ban hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "At most, you can only tamper with the strength testing device a little. The fluctuation of strength is the largest out of the three tests, but even so, you cannot lower it by more than 2%. Otherwise, you will be easily discovered."
Indeed, it was easy to raise the score in the tests, and those martial apprentices would be overjoyed. However, if it was lowered by one or two martial apprentices, it would be fine. However, if it was lowered by more than ten martial apprentices in each test, it would cause a lot of suspicion.
At that time, it would be troublesome.
"2%. That is to say, your fist strength needs to reach at least 612." Lin Xianglong frowned as the number on Lin Feng's strength testing device appeared in his mind. He sneered and waved his hand, "Go. Remember, his name is Lin Feng."
"Yes, Manager." Qiu Ban's eyes flashed as he retreated.
… …
In the lobby.
"How is it, Feng?"
Looking at Lin Ting, Lin Feng waved the jade tablet in his hand. On it was written a clear number, "Here, number 235."
"The twenty-fourth group?" Lin Ting nodded thoughtfully and said, "It should be the last group. As far as I know, this is the number of people participating in this year's Preparatory Warrior Test. However, there are many martial apprentices like you who decided to participate at the last moment to see the world."
Lin Feng smiled but did not explain.
Lin Ting was very clear about his own strength. He had tested it half a month ago at the dojo, so it was normal for him to think this way.
"If Brother Ting knew my current strength, he would be shocked."
"The test is about to begin. If I tell him now, it will only increase Brother Ting's psychological burden. After all, this is his last chance."
"When the test results come out, everything will be known."
In Lin Feng's mind, he naturally hoped that this big brother who treated him like a little brother would successfully pass the Preparatory Warrior Test.
After all, martial artists and ordinary people were on two completely different levels. If Lin Ting could not pass today's test, he would be mediocre for the rest of his life.
"They're here." Lin Ting said in a low voice.
The noisy lobby suddenly became quiet as if time had stopped. Under the gaze of Lin Feng and more than two hundred people, a fiery red gilded door in the depths of the lobby was slowly pushed open. A heavy sound went straight to the bottom of their hearts, bringing with it a sense of oppression.
Three figures slowly walked out. Their auras were imposing and shocking. Their dignified expressions immediately froze the atmosphere in the lobby.
Lin Feng let out a soft "Eh?". His eyes were filled with surprise because he saw a familiar figure among the three.
Clan Leader Lin Xianglong.
"There's nothing to be surprised about." Lin Ting said in a low voice, "The Clan Leader is one of the stewards of the Qihuo Martial Hall. He has a lot of power. When we came, Lin Nanhu was full of confidence. It seemed that he was determined to get the only place in the Xiaoyang Martial School. I think the Clan Leader has already opened up all the paths for him."
Lin Feng smiled indifferently. He was not envious.
Everyone had their own destiny. He did not think that Lin Nanhu was doing well.
"Only by relying on yourself can you become a true martial artist."
"Lin Nanhu, I may not be as strong as you now, but one day, I will be stronger than you!"
Lin Nanhu hated Lin Feng very much. Wasn't it the same for Lin Feng?
There was no need to find any excuses. He did lose that day.
His skills were inferior!
If he was strong enough, would Lin Nanhu dare to provoke him?
How could his little brother, Lin Yun, be humiliated!
"Three years, a whole three years! Even if I'm not as strong as Lin Nanhu now, I should be close. "
"Once I become a martial artist, we will stand on the same starting line. I don't believe that I can't compare to you. Even if my talent is not as good as yours, I will work harder than you. I will work a hundred times, a thousand times harder! "
"The humiliation that my little brother suffered, I will make you pay back ten times over!"
In Lin Feng's mind, his family was his sacred and inviolable territory.
No one could touch them!
The poor life had tempered Lin Feng's mind to be very strong. He had an indomitable tenacity and persistence in his bones.
He was unwilling to admit defeat. He refused to accept fate.
…
The three of them took their seats. The one in the middle was a bald old man. Looking at how respectful the other two were to him, it was obvious that he had the highest status among the three.
"Yan Feng is a big shot in Qihuo Town." Lin Ting's eyes were filled with envy. "Look, the Clan Leader is so respectful to him. If I can be like him one day, then my life will not be in vain."
"Is he very powerful?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"Of course." Lin Ting whispered. "Not only is he the deacon of Qihuo Martial Hall, he is also one of the three big shots of Qihuo Town with Captain Li and President Meng. His power is monstrous."
"Oh …" Lin Feng nodded his head. Looking at this ordinary-looking old man, there was a hint of respect in his eyes.
The three big shots of Qihuo Town. In other words, they were the three most powerful people in Qihuo Town. To him, they were as far away as the stars in the sky.
"Then Captain Li and President Meng …"
Just as Lin Feng was about to ask, he caught sight of Yan Feng and the other two standing up from their seats with a 'whoosh'. He immediately turned his head and saw two rows of warriors dressed in different attire walking in one after another. Their expressions were cold and their steps were orderly. Their auras were oppressive, causing all the Apprentice Warriors to retreat to the left and right, making a wide path for them.
"How imposing." Lin Feng muttered to himself.
Just the aura of the two rows of martial artists was enough to make it hard for people to breathe. The two men walking in the middle with steady steps became the focus of everyone's attention. One of them was a tall and thin man dressed in a uniform with a solemn expression. The other was slightly plump and had a friendly smile on his face.
"Heavenly Martial Army?" Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
The martial artists standing on the left were dressed in the same way as the Heavenly Martial Army soldiers at the town gate.
The tall and thin man in the lead was dressed in the same style, but the color was a bit darker. The only difference was that on his shoulders, there were three striking bronze stars inlaid with gold.
"He should be the Captain Li that Brother Ting mentioned," Lin Feng thought to himself.
From Ceng Yang, he knew that the Heavenly Martial Army was divided into captain, first lieutenant, and second lieutenant, which corresponded to the advanced, intermediate, and beginner martial artists.
Three bronze stars corresponded to the advanced martial artist rank of captain!
Lin Feng felt reverence in his heart. Indeed, in Lin Feng's opinion, beginner martial artists were already very strong, and advanced martial artists were even more unattainable …
…
"Ha, Li Yun, Meng Fei, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Yan Feng went forward to welcome them.
"Brother Yan."
"Long time no see."
The three of them shook hands and greeted each other warmly, laughing from time to time. However, they had no intention of sitting down. Yan Feng's eyes occasionally glanced into the distance, as if he was waiting for something. He looked slightly impatient and nervous.
Suddenly —
Yan Feng's eyes flashed as he smiled from ear to ear. Following Yan Feng's gaze, he saw two figures approaching like phantoms. One was tall and the other was short. One was red and one was purple, forming a sharp contrast. Every step they took seemed to break through space. Their monstrous aura was suffocating.
It was a two-meter-tall man with a strong physique. He wore a fiery red robe, and his entire person was like a sharp blade, causing people to tremble.
However, the most eye-catching person was not him, but the young girl in purple beside him. Her elegant steps were like a lotus blooming, and her snow-white skin was so delicate that it could be broken by the wind. She did not wear any makeup, but she was like the sun reflecting on the snow. Her beautiful face was dotted with bright eyes, and the crescent-shaped mark on her forehead added to her mysteriousness.
