The Soundless Demon Hunt Squad was one of the thirty or so general grade Demon Hunt Squads in the Demon Suppressing Fortress. They were ranked thirteenth among the general grade Demon Hunt Squads.
"I wonder how Brother Chen's training is going?" Hua Wenqing raised his head to look at the night sky, casually asking.
"Brother Chen's talent is astonishing. Even if he joined later than the others, he definitely won't fall behind." Hua Wenjun smiled. Regarding Chen Zong's entry into the Demon Suppressing Army's Hidden Dragon Division, Hua Wenjun would be lying if he said he wasn't envious. He was also very moved, but he didn't ask for Chen Zong's help.
In the end, Chen Zong's entry wasn't so simple, and Chen Zong didn't have the ability to arrange it for him.
If it was possible, Chen Zong naturally wanted to arrange for Hua Wenjun and Hua Wenqing to join the Demon Suppression Army. Unfortunately, he couldn't. His Eldest Senior Brother had paid an unknown price for him to be able to join the army.
During this time, the two sides kept in contact, but not much. On one hand, Chen Zong's training was very tight, and he couldn't wait to use one day as ten. On the other hand, Hua Wenjun and his sister had just joined the Soundless Demon Hunt Squad, and needed to put in more effort to prove their ability.
"Brother Chen, you are improving, and so am I. I won't fall too far behind you." Hua Wenjun looked at the night sky, secretly saying to himself. He couldn't help but clench his fists.
… …
"Junior brother, the training time is about to end. Will you be able to pass the test?" After Tang Guao finished his business, he raised his head, looking deeply in the direction of the Hidden Dragon Division, talking to himself.
He was a bit worried.
After all, Chen Zong had entered the Hidden Dragon Division two months later than the others. It wasn't a long time to begin with, only half a year. The difference of two months was very obvious.
But Tang Guao still wanted Chen Zong to give it a try. After all, if he wanted to enter the Demon Suppressing Army, it would be better for him to do so as soon as possible.
Even if he failed this time, he would at most have to leave the Demon Suppressing Army and be arranged somewhere else. Relying on his own ability, he could still fight for another chance to retrain his junior brother.
Of course, passing the test this time would be the best.
"Whether he can pass or not, we'll know in a few days." Tang Guao talked to himself, letting go of his worries.
… … …
In the thirty-fifth training room, Ouyang Ze was expressionless.
"Everyone, the training will be over in a few days." Ouyang Ze glanced at Chen Zong and ignored him. Although Chen Zong came here every day to participate in the training, he never took the initiative to ask. He was treated like air.
"You should know the results of your training in the past six months. Whether you can pass the assessment in the next few days will depend on your own efforts."
"There are still a few days left. This is the last chance."
This was their last chance, and it was also Ou Yangze's last chance. This meant that he would be able to get a lot of rewards in the end.
Was it a military merit reward?
And it was only a merit reward?
At the thought of this, Ou Yangze could not help but glance at Chen Zong, feeling more and more dissatisfied.
If he hadn't arranged for this person to come over, perhaps he would have received more rewards. However, because of this person, he definitely wouldn't have been able to obtain any military merits.
After all, from the beginning until now, Ou Yangze had not detected the aura of the Demon Defending Seal from Chen Zong. In other words, Chen Zong hadn't even mastered the first move of the Demon Defending Seal.
Since he couldn't master it, why did he look so indifferent all the time? If he had come to beg me, maybe I would have given him some time to teach him.
The more Ou Yangze thought about it, the more upset he felt. The way he looked at Chen Zong was getting colder and colder.
Sensing Ou Yangze's gaze and seeing the disgust in his eyes, Chen Zong's expression did not change at all.
If he could master it with his own ability, why should he beg others?
"Alright, today's training is over." Suppressing the anger in his heart, Ou Yangze retracted his gaze and turned to leave the training room.
"How was it? Now you know how difficult it is to master the third seal, right? If I were you, I would leave the Demon Suppressing Army now, so as not to embarrass myself in the assessment in a few days."
Dong Fei, who was the first to master the Demon Defending Seal in the thirty-fifth squad, said to Chen Zong with a mocking smile while rubbing his chin.
"Brother Dong, he won't appreciate it." Another person also said with a smile. His name was Li Heiming, who had mastered the first move of the Demon Defending Seal a few days later than Dong Fei.
After successfully cultivating the Imperial Demon Seal, the Imperial Demon Seal would enter the body and a trace of aura would spread out. For ordinary cultivators, it was difficult to detect, but for those who had already condensed the Imperial Demon Seal, it was very clear what the aura was.
However, they didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of aura of the Demon Defending Seal from Chen Zong, let alone the Demon Suppressing Seal and the Demon Slaying Seal. It also showed that Chen Zong hadn't mastered the Demon Defending Seal.
Without mastering the Demon Defending Seal, it was impossible to pass the assessment.
Chen Zong didn't seem to hear their mockery. He walked out of the training room and went to the Devil Qi Cultivation Room.
"Oh, it seems that he still hasn't given up."
"There are still a few days left. He has to struggle. What if he can master the first move of the Demon Defending Seal by chance?"
…
In the Devil Qi Cultivation Room, the chaotic Devil Qi was very dense.
Chen Zong stood in the chaotic Devil Qi. Soon, two balls of black light floated out from his sea of consciousness.
The two balls of black light were the same size. They floated on the left and the right, and slowly rotated around Chen Zong. One of the balls of black light had runes connected, which vaguely looked like an ancient word "Defend". The other ball of black light had runes connected, which looked more complicated. It was a word "Bind".
These were the first moves of the Demon Defending Seal and the first move of the Demon Suppressing Seal that Chen Zong had successfully mastered.
"In the next few days, I must master the first move of the Demon Slaying Seal!" Chen Zong said to himself with great determination.
Except for the training time, Chen Zong spent all his time in the Devil Qi Cultivation Room. He was very hardworking.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. The half-year training in the Hidden Dragon Division was also over.
In the Devil Qi Cultivation Room, three balls of black light the size of a child's fist slowly rotated around Chen Zong. The third ball of black light had runes connected to form the word "Slay". It constantly emitted traces of sharp light, as if it was indestructible.
The bell rang, like the roar of a dragon, resounding in all directions.
Waves of tyrannical aura rose from all over the place. They rushed to the sky, and then quickly gathered in the Hidden Dragon Division.
Today was the day of the Hidden Dragon Division's Reserve Sergeant Examination. Among the hundreds of Reserve Sergeants, there would be a batch of qualified people. These people would be assigned to various departments in the five armies.
The truly outstanding people would often be fought over by the five armies.
The Hidden Dragon Hall was very large. It could accommodate thousands of people at the same time. It didn't seem crowded at all.
Hundreds of Reserve Sergeants who were going to participate in the examination stood in the hall. Under the guidance of their respective commanders, they were lined up in neat groups.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Waves of the sound of wind being torn apart resounded out along with this. After that, numerous figures appeared on the seats on the stairs in the surroundings of the hall. Every single figure carried a tyrannical and shocking fluctuation of aura. They were either vigorous, overbearing, blazing, icy cold, or violent …
The First Army, Second Army, Third Army, Fourth Army, and Fifth Army.
All of them were warlords.
The Hidden Dragon Division's Reserve Sergeant Examination was indeed very important. However, it wasn't important enough to alert the titled generals. It was enough for the warlords to come.
One upper-grade warlord, one middle-grade warlord, and one low-grade warlord were the representatives of the five armies of the Demon Suppressing Army.
In other words, each army had sent three upper-grade warlords, three mid-grade warlords, and three low-grade warlords.
Their gazes swept across the Reserve Sergeants. One of them stopped on Chen Zong. Chen Zong looked over and saw his senior brother, Tang Guao.
Tang Guao frowned slightly because he didn't feel the aura of the Imperial Demon Seal from Chen Zong's body. Most of the other preparatory sergeants had the aura of the Imperial Demon Seal, either strong or weak.
In other words, Chen Zong probably hadn't mastered the Seal of Defense.
Tang Guao couldn't help but sigh. Was there still not enough time?
Or had he overestimated his junior brother's talent?
"Today, we'll see the results of the half-year training." The number one warlord of the Hidden Dragon Division stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His body seemed to be infinitely tall. His voice was loud and clear like thunder. It rumbled into everyone's ears and went straight to their heads. Even if you deliberately tried not to listen, you would still hear it clearly.
"The examination is divided into three steps. The first step is the knowledge examination."
"The second step is the Seal of Defense."
"The third step is the Demon Slaying Examination."
"Only by passing these three steps can you become a real Demon Suppression Sergeant."
Chen Zong finally realized that the examination wasn't that simple. One couldn't pass just by mastering the first move of the Seal of Defense.
"Now, pay attention. The first step of the knowledge examination begins."
As soon as the number one warlord of the Hidden Dragon Division finished his words, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded. A magical power emerged from all directions. Then, everyone felt that everything around them was changing rapidly.
The others were gone. Only Chen Zong was in a quiet room. There was a crystal board on the wall in front of him.
"The knowledge examination …" Chen Zong couldn't help but feel that it was interesting.
Then, the crystal board changed. A clear figure appeared on it. It was the figure of a demon from the underground. Following the figure, a paragraph of words appeared below it.
It clearly described the demon's name, level, and characteristics.
As a Demon Suppression Sergeant, the first thing to do was to have enough knowledge about the underground demons and demons. As the saying went, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." If they couldn't understand their enemy, they would be at a disadvantage.
In the first step of the knowledge examination, a thousand questions would appear randomly. All the examinees had to do was to answer them.
The examinees couldn't make more than one tenth of the thousand questions. In other words, they couldn't get more than one hundred questions wrong.
After a few months of study, Chen Zong already knew that there were many different kinds of monsters in the Underworld. There were tens of thousands of them. As for the Underworld Demon Race, there were fewer of them, but they were much more powerful than the Underworld Demons.
Chen Zong had a photographic memory. As long as he had the heart, he wouldn't forget anything. Therefore, this kind of examination wasn't difficult for Chen Zong at all.
One question after another, Chen Zong answered them easily. If other people knew how fast he was, they would be shocked.
