When the city gates opened, people came from all directions.
That night, Chen Zong rested for a while before leaving the restaurant and heading to the Zhen Wu Battalion.
The Zhen Wu Battle Tablet only opened once every ten years, so it was unknown how many people would come to challenge it, but each time, it could only accommodate a limited number of challengers, only ten. The duration of the challenges varied, so on average, it could only accommodate two or three hundred challengers per day. Even if it opened continuously for an entire month, it could only accommodate a few thousand challengers.
However, the number of challengers who came numbered in the thousands, perhaps even tens of thousands.
Therefore, an assessment was set up. Only those who passed the assessment of the Zhen Wu Giant City's Battalion were qualified to challenge the Zhen Wu Battle Tablet, otherwise, they would become spectators.
In addition to being qualified, it was also a ranking of challengers, so it was impossible for everyone to compete and disturb the order.
When he arrived at the Battalion, there were already many people waiting to take the assessment. After Chen Zong received his number plate, he sat down and waited. In front of him, there were still thirty-eight people who had yet to take the assessment.
One by one, the challengers entered the Battalion to take the assessment. The number of people in front of Chen Zong gradually decreased, but the number of people behind him kept increasing.
"Brother Chen, we meet again." A pleasantly surprised voice rang out. Chen Zong turned his head and revealed a smile.
Xu Zhanlong!
Since Xu Zhanlong was here, naturally Xu Li and Ouyang Ting were also here.
Seeing Chen Zong, Xu Li frowned again, as if he didn't want to see Chen Zong. Ouyang Ting curled her lips slightly, somewhat surprised that this person didn't die on the way, but she didn't say anything.
Xu Li and Ouyang Ting ignored Chen Zong, and of course, Chen Zong didn't pay attention to them.
After chatting with Xu Zhanlong for a while, he continued to wait for the assessment.
Soon, it was Chen Zong's turn.
"Brother Xu, I'm going in," Chen Zong stood up and said.
"Good, I believe you can pass the assessment," Xu Zhanlong smiled.
"As if," Xu Li said disdainfully.
Without even looking at Xu Li, Chen Zong walked into the Battalion.
"Cultivation?" The Battalion was spacious, and in order to facilitate the assessment, a burly man in Black Iron Battle Armour stood nearby and asked coldly. Next to the burly man were three other people with different auras.
"The peak of the Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm," Chen Zong said.
"You can only pass the test if you can last ten breaths of time against a low-level Half-Saint," the burly man said directly.
If an ordinary peak Transcendent Realm cultivator faced an ordinary low-order Half-Saint, not to mention ten breaths of time, they would be defeated or even killed in a single breath.
After all, under normal circumstances, the gap between the limit of the Transcendent Realm and the low-order Half-Saint Realm was quite obvious.
"Come, you can attack, defend, or dodge. As long as you can last ten breaths of time against me without being defeated, you pass." One of the three walked out with a smile on his youthful face.
This person was a low-level Half-Saint among the three examiners. As for the other two, one was a mid-level Half-Saint, while the other was a high-level Half-Saint.
"Pay attention, I'm going to make my move." The corner of the young man's mouth curled up into a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately struck out with his palm.
* Hong! *
It was fine if he did not make a move, but once he made a move, it was as if a hurricane was raging in all directions. It directly filled Chen Zong's body and completely sealed off the area within a radius of ten meters. An extremely terrifying force began to rotate inwards from ten meters away, and an astonishing force continued to press towards the center from all directions.
As such, Chen Zong was unable to dodge because the power was extremely powerful, sweeping everything in all directions towards the center. He could only face this attack head-on.
As soon as this move was used, Chen Zong was a little surprised. The power of this palm strike was quite good, but it was only slightly stronger than an ordinary peak Transcendent Realm cultivator, not quite at the level of a low-order Half-Saint. However, this palm strike was extremely exquisite and its application of strength was superb. If Chen Zong really only had the strength of a peak Transcendent Realm cultivator, he would have been defeated in an instant.
Unfortunately, Chen Zong wasn't.
Facing this palm strike, Chen Zong had no intention of dodging and simply sent out a palm strike. However, Chen Zong had just said that his cultivation was at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, so he didn't use his Dragon Force and instead used his Ultra Spirit Energy.
* Hong! *
The power released by Chen Zong in this palm strike was slightly weaker than his opponent's, but he was able to concentrate a high degree of strength into his palm and rotate it in a mysterious way, bursting out with even more power. In terms of application of strength and Martial Arts attainment, Chen Zong was superior.
* Peng! *
The two palms collided. Chen Zong didn't move, but the countenance of that person drastically changed. He instantly unleashed an even greater amount of energy as he slammed his palms down, blasting towards Chen Zong once more.
The transfer of strength was extremely smooth, without the slightest bit of reluctance, once again displaying profound Martial Arts skills.
However, for Chen Zong, this was all there was to it.
Without using any profound Martial Arts or drawing his sword, Chen Zong simply pressed his palm against the void, using his Ultra Spirit Energy to compress and shatter everything in its path.
When the two palms collided again, the Low-Order Half-Saint's arm trembled as he felt a terrifying force rush towards him. The force spread throughout his arm, making it difficult for him to gather his strength and could only retreat continuously in order to disperse the force.
After retreating three steps, the Half-Saint felt his arm go numb.
"You've passed the assessment," The Half-Saint knew that he couldn't defeat his opponent, this was a super genius.
The Half-Saint immediately handed a token to Chen Zong. This token was half the size of his palm and was completely black with a number on it, 3,358.
In other words, before Chen Zong, 3,357 people had passed the assessment and obtained the qualifications to challenge the True Martial Battle Tablet.
According to the test just now, those who wanted to pass had to be true geniuses.
Sure enough, it was amazing.
After all, there were still more than ten days left. Perhaps thousands of people would pass the assessment.
With the number token, Chen Zong strode away.
"This kid can at least rank in the top 100 of this Battle Tablet Challenge," the Half-Saint said in a serious tone.
"Top 100!" The Half-Saint who fought with Chen Zong suddenly changed his expression and quickly said, "That's impossible. It'll be good enough if he can rank in the top 1,000."
"Didn't you notice that he has a sword at his waist?" The Half-Saint's eyes were clear as he said thoughtfully.
"Sword." The young man only just realized.
A cultivator who carried a sword either did it for the sake of looking good, but those who pursued flashy without substance were generally not very powerful.
The other situation was that he was better at swordsmanship.
Without drawing his sword, Chen Zong was able to force him to retreat with his palm. It should be known that there was a gap between his cultivation and Chen Zong's.
"Maybe he can rank in the top 100," the young man said to himself.
…
"Brother Chen, you passed the assessment, right?" Seeing Chen Zong walk out, Xu Zhanlong went up to him with a smile.
In his opinion, since Chen Zong dared to leave the Sky Bearing Upper Province to train in the True Martial Upper Province, he must be quite capable. It shouldn't be difficult for him to pass the assessment.
"I passed," Chen Zong said with a smile as he waved the token in his hand. His words immediately attracted the attention of many people.
It should be known that half a month had passed since the assessment of the combat division. Many people would be assessed every day, but not many passed. The percentage was not high.
The corner of Xu Li's eyes twitched as he snorted. Ouyang Ting was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything.
It was just an assessment. It wasn't anything special.
"Brother Xu, I'll take my leave first. I hope you pass the assessment," Chen Zong said with a smile. After bidding farewell to Xu Zhanlong, he left the combat division.
After leaving the combat division, Chen Zong didn't rush back to the restaurant. Instead, he walked on the wide streets of the True Martial Colossal City to feel the aura of this colossal city.
As one of the three colossal cities in the True Martial Upper Province, the True Martial Colossal City was very prosperous. Under the night sky, thousands of lights bloomed in the True Martial Colossal City, dazzling and enchanting.
Men and women walked under the illumination of thousands of lights, as if they were divine light.
Due to the True Martial Grand Assembly, which was held once every ten years, the flow of people in the True Martial Colossal City was more than ten times higher than usual.
They walked and stopped, leisurely and leisurely, and enjoyed the aura and charm of this ancient colossal city.
The True Martial Colossal City was the oldest city in the True Martial Upper Province. Its foundation was astonishing, and its aura was very rich. It was simple and unadorned.
"Brother, he's the one who looked down on our Iron Martial Army." A sharp voice sounded and entered Chen Zong's ears. Then, two terrifying auras fell on Chen Zong.
One of the auras was sinister and cold, while the other was fierce and violent.
Chen Zong looked over and saw two figures walking through the crowd and stopping Chen Zong.
One of them was unfamiliar, and the other was familiar. It was the nephew of the Iron Martial Army's general, Tie Ming. He was staring at Chen Zong with his cold eyes, as if he wanted to pierce through him.
The other person was tall and strong, and his aura was fierce. His eyes were extremely bright, and his rough face carried an indescribable power, just like a fierce tiger.
A name appeared in Chen Zong's mind.
War Tiger Tie Zhan!
It was the son of the Iron Martial Army's general.
"What right do you have to look down on the Iron Martial Army?" Tie Zhan's eyes emitted an incomparably terrifying light, filled with a terrifying killing intent. He was as terrifying as a wild demon tiger. His astonishing aura was vigorous and fierce to the extreme. It was like a fierce storm, crazily attacking Chen Zong. His words were like the roar of a tiger, and like the roar of thunder.
Looking down on the Iron Martial Army?
Chen Zong himself had never expressed any thoughts or statements of looking down on the Iron Martial Army. All of this was obviously made up by Tie Ming. He was nothing but a sinister villain.
"The brain is a good thing." Chen Zong didn't explain, because it was useless, and it wasn't worthwhile to explain. He just played it down.
Tie Zhan's long hair suddenly fluttered when he heard this. He seemed like an angry tiger, and an extremely shocking imposing aura burst out from his body. His gaze was extremely ferocious, and it seemed like he wanted to tear Chen Zong apart. The imposing aura of a low-level half-saint shook the surroundings like a storm.
The terrible aura rushed out, and many people around were shocked to stop and look. They pointed and whispered. Some people recognized Tie Zhan and exclaimed.
"If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't dare to fight, then get out of my way." Chen Zong was not afraid at all.
Not to mention that fighting was not allowed in Zhen Wu Giant City, even if it was allowed, Chen Zong was not afraid at all.
