Outdoors.

A flame emblem warrior stood next to the war chariot, glanced at his watch, and it was exactly twelve o’clock. It had only been four hours since the assessment started.

Bai Ziwen and his group of five had already returned to the war chariot. They had handed over the monster materials they carried and suffered little damage. Except for Bai Ziwen himself losing five million, they had almost no losses. After returning, the five of them should be able to obtain the title of a true warrior.

But the more Bai Ziwen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

How could it be so coincidental that they ran into that group of mercenaries’ hunting ground on their way back?

Even if that place was really the hunting ground of those mercenaries, how could it be so coincidental that two teams appeared from the forest at the same time they were running back?

On the one hand, those two teams could indeed be seen as hunting, but on the other hand, did they also block their escape route?

Something was off, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt. The five million was likely calculated by someone!

But now Little Uncle was not by his side, and the flame emblem warrior in charge of the assessment was obviously from the Flame Legion. Without any backing, Bai Ziwen did not dare to mention this matter.

“I am Xu Zong, reporting back.”

“It is indeed the materials of a mid-level beast soldier, and the armor is not damaged. You can go in!”

Soon, Xu Zong also entered the narrow war chariot and directly faced Bai Ziwen and the other five.

“Is there anything to eat here?”

Xu Zong touched his stomach and asked Bai Ziwen.

“Here.”

Bai Ziwen gestured to the storage room at the back of the war chariot.

“There are only compressed biscuits, taste like wax.”

He didn’t have any ill feelings towards Xu Zong, at most, he just had some doubts about whether Xu Zong’s claim of weighing over 3,000 kilograms was true.

Now, he had been brutally slapped by the reality of the wilderness, and he no longer had the mind to doubt Xu Zong.

Xu Zong entered the storage room, took a box of biscuits, and indeed, they tasted like wax.

But being able to fill his stomach was enough. In order to become a warrior, he had to endure these small troubles. Sometimes, warriors couldn’t even find food in the wilderness and still had to fight monsters.

In the chat group.

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Special practical assessment.avi”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Very down-to-earth format, reminds me of some very educational videos.”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Finished the assessment? How was it?”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “It was okay, thanks to the Xingyi Five Elements Fist!”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Let me see… goodness gracious! Is it your first time killing someone? You killed sixteen people on your first try? You have a strong killing intent!”

He read it so quickly, did the chat group directly transmit the video to his mind?

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Damn it! If I didn’t kill them, I would have been the one to die… huh? Something seems off, how did Bai Ziwen and the others come back safely?”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Seriously speaking, even if the mercenaries were bold, they wouldn’t dare to risk offending the War God and assassinate the juniors under his care, right?”

“Did you encounter that group of mercenaries before?”

Inside the war chariot, Xu Zong opened his eyes and looked at Bai Ziwen beside him.

“We did, why, did you also?”

Bai Ziwen somewhat sympathetically looked at Xu Zong.

“No.”

Xu Zong shook his head quickly.

“Oh.”

Bai Ziwen’s gaze immediately turned cold.

You didn’t have to spend five million? Then what’s the point of saying it!

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “I think I might understand what those mercenaries were trying to do…”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “If it were me, they probably just set up a trap to extort money from you, right?”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “You guessed it right.”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “And then you killed them without hesitation.”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Wow, if that’s the case, killing them for extorting money would make your killing intent even stronger!”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “…”

What else could he say?

Should those people die? It’s not necessary.

But since they were already dead, there was nothing he could do to bring them back.

Among warriors, there were many who fought each other for their own interests. Survival of the fittest, only the strong survive, this is the truth of the universe!

Instead of being entangled in this, it would be better to reflect on what went wrong in the previous battle.

For example, in the initial ambush, he should not have attacked the chests of those three people. If he had aimed directly at their heads, he could have decided the outcome with one strike!

And that time he threw the spear, he should not have aimed at the skinny monkey, but should have aimed at the heavy machine gun. Even if the skinny monkey died, the others could still control the heavy machine gun. It was just that at that time, he was standing in the wheat field and the others couldn’t coordinate with the one flying in the sky, so it was useless. As soon as he stepped out of the wheat field, the second brother immediately crawled to pick up the machine gun, that’s the evidence.

In the end, the only thing that threatened him was not the skinny monkey, but the heavy machine gun. As long as the heavy machine gun was destroyed, those bunch of rotten potatoes and stinky bird eggs were just the result of random killing.

Did he make those mistakes because he wasn’t calm enough?

Not really.

Xu Zong had practiced meditation early on, although he rarely practiced it. His meditation practice was less than his basic fist and body movement training, but the talent of “limitless cultivation” that he didn’t even know about had already taken effect, allowing him to achieve a high level of meditation.

He could focus on doing something for a long time, and he could also detach himself from some emotions. That was the result of meditation.

Even in battle, he could keep himself calm to the maximum extent!

In the end, it was all because of his lack of battle experience!

Because of his lack of experience, he targeted the skinny monkey first instead of the machine gun in the skinny monkey’s hands.

“I need more training and battles…”

Through introspection, Xu Zong clarified his current biggest flaw and made a determination in his heart.

The sun gradually tilted towards the west.

The flame emblem warrior’s brows gradually furrowed, not knowing how many times he looked at his watch.

“Why haven’t they come back yet? I even gave them a heavy machine gun. They shouldn’t have any accidents, right? If something really happened to them, I won’t be able to handle it!”

The assessment was led by the Flame Legion, and the instructor for the assessment was also from the Flame Legion. If the Flame Legion’s prospective warriors came to participate in the assessment and died?

A whole team!

To be able to form a nearly complete mercenary team during the prospective warrior period was very rare, even within the Flame Legion!

This was no joke, there would definitely be consequences from above!

Until six o’clock in the evening.

The sun had set, and the assessment time had reached its limit, but the group of more than ten people still hadn’t returned from the wilderness. The flame emblem warrior with a dark face could only return to the war chariot.

“Set off, back to the camp!”

The expressions of Bai Ziwen and the others suddenly became strange. They wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.

Half an hour later, the war chariot returned to the Northern District base.

“Take off your equipment and put it here, then you can go!”

Under the instructions of the flame emblem warrior, the six people took off their equipment and walked towards the room they came from.

The room with the black flame emblem at the entrance was still empty.

When they returned to this place, they only saw one person here.

“Uncle!”

Bai Ziwen walked over first, full of joy.

The person waiting here was Bai Ziwen’s uncle, Bai Chengying, the senior war god of the Bai Family in Kyoto.

“You guys didn’t get hurt much, you did well, there will be rewards later!”

Bai Chengying looked at Bai Ziwen, who was unharmed, nodded in satisfaction, and praised the bodyguards.

“What about Uncle Yong?”

Xu Zong looked around, but didn’t see Zhou Zhengyong’s figure, feeling depressed.

How could they leave me alone here?

“Are you Xu Zong?”

At this moment, Bai Chengying took the initiative to walk over, and his sharp eyes scanned Xu Zong.

“Old Zhou received a call earlier, saying that he had to go pick someone up, and asked you to wait here for a while.”

“I see, thank you, War God Bai.”

Xu Zong politely thanked Bai Chengying.

“Uncle, something doesn’t feel right about the process of my assessment this time…”

Bai Ziwen pulled Bai Chengying aside and quietly told him about what happened during the day.

“Is that so?”

Bai Chengying’s eyes narrowed as if they had thorns.

Fighting was prohibited within the base city. Even the War God was powerless without evidence. There were plenty of daring people who would take advantage of this. After all, there was never a shortage of people with no regard for consequences in this world, and Bai Chengying had seen too many of them.

“I didn’t really care about the five million, I just felt something was fishy and couldn’t accept it until I figured it out!”

Bai Ziwen’s face didn’t look good. Anyone would feel the same if they were calculated like this.

His father was from the main branch of the Bai Family, and his uncle was a senior war god. His pocket money for a year was more than five million, and he focused on martial arts, rarely playing with cars or women, saving a few billion in his small treasury.

“But those mercenaries had bad luck. They all died in the wilderness. Hehe, they had done too many wicked things and received retribution!”

Bai Ziwen smirked.

Uncle and nephew were talking, while Xu Zong sat quietly on a chair at the edge of the room, waiting for Zhou Zhengyong to come and pick him up.

“Clatter clatter!”

Suddenly, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the room.

In no time, the door was rudely pushed open, and a warrior with a deep red flame emblem on his chest burst into the room, his eyes scanning everyone like lightning.

“The examiner? What is he doing here?”

Bai Ziwen looked at him with some confusion.

Xu Zong also looked over.

He was surprised to find that the gaze of the flame emblem warrior was completely focused on him.

“Student Xu Zong!”

He looked delighted, but then his expression turned cold.

“I am arresting you now on the charge of intentionally killing fellow assessment students! It’s best not to resist, otherwise, I have the right to execute you on the spot!”

He sternly shouted, shocking Bai Ziwen and the others.

What the hell?

Killing fellow assessment students?

There were only a few of them in this assessment… damn it!

Bai Ziwen was suddenly hit by a wave of shock, staring at Xu Zong in disbelief. Could it be that this guy killed those mercenaries?

There were over ten of them! Each of them experienced and difficult to deal with! They all died!

Upon hearing the words of being arrested, Xu Zong was instantly shocked.
