People looked at the big screen, knowing that this was an extremely difficult test.
Yan Qiyue of the War God Peak was definitely a figure standing at the pinnacle of humanity. In his time, perhaps no Star Realm had been born yet, and he was the strongest.
Such a person who was also a spiritual mind master would be almost unstoppable when exerting their spiritual pressure on you.
The purpose of this round was to test one’s willpower, to see how long one could endure under Yan Qiyue’s spiritual pressure. The longer they endured, the higher the score.
Lou Qingfeng had been persisting for thirty seconds since the beginning.
A martial artist couldn’t help but ask Guan Shanyue, “Instructor, how long do we have to hold on to pass this round?”
Guan Shanyue replied, “When I went through this round, I held on for forty seconds, just enough to pass. Lou Qingfeng is about to succeed.”
“Forty seconds… I don’t know if I can hold on when my turn comes.”
During their conversation, fifty seconds had passed. Yan Qiyue’s gaze suddenly became sharp again, and the dark gold light shone brightly. Lou Qingfeng finally couldn’t resist any longer and knelt down on both knees.
The image disappeared, and Lou Qingfeng’s score came up: 7-5!
Qualified, passed!
Ice City warriors applauded thunderously. This round was definitely not easy, as it tested the strength of a martial artist’s willpower. Lou Qingfeng had done very well.
Lou Qingfeng took off his helmet and looked slightly shaken, but his emotions didn’t fluctuate too much as he continued to climb to the next level.
Subsequently, more martial artists began to arrive. Two more Advanced War Generals barely passed with qualifying scores, but the last Advanced War General was disqualified after kneeling in less than thirty seconds.
When it came to the Intermediate War Generals, although Yan Qiyue’s spiritual pressure seemed to lighten a bit, it was still the same scene. Wu Ming from Ice City barely managed to pass, along with another Intermediate War General, but one more person was eliminated.
The same was true for the Junior War Generals. Only two people were left to pass, and one person couldn’t even hold on for fifteen seconds and failed spectacularly.
Out of fifteen people who attempted the trial, only seven remained after the first three rounds. The elimination rate was incredibly high.
By the time they reached the fourth round, everyone was extremely exhausted, and this exhaustion was even brought into the virtual environment.
The scene in the fourth round was even more shocking to the martial artists because it was actually a mutated beast attack on the city!
The scene in Lou Qingfeng’s vision was Ice City Base City, where the battlefield was full of chaos, gunfire, and armies struggling to hold on. Almost all martial artists were on the front line.
Their task was to kill the high-level mutated beasts. Lou Qingfeng, as an Advanced War General and spiritual mind master, was a crucial member of the team.
Faced with the onslaught of mutated beasts like a tidal wave, Lou Qingfeng had no time to think and threw himself into the battle without hesitation.
The duration of this round was relatively long, with a uniform time of ten minutes. Lou Qingfeng killed seven C-level Variant Beasts and three B-level Mutant Beasts, scoring 7.8 points and successfully passing the round.
However, in this round, another Advanced War General was eliminated. Both people from the Intermediate War General group passed, but only one person was left in the Junior War General group.
Four people began climbing the last level, and the situation in the final round would not be shown. It was said to uncover the deepest fears hidden in people’s hearts, testing their decisions at that time.
In this round, another Advanced War General was eliminated. In the end, Lou
Qingfeng passed, followed by Wu Ming from Ice City Base City in the Intermediate group, and Baichuan, a Junior War General from the Southern Base City in the Junior group.
The assessment came to an end, and temporary rankings began to appear on the big screen. Lou Qingfeng temporarily ranked first in the Advanced War General group, Wu Ming ranked first in the Intermediate War General group, and Baichuan ranked first in the Junior War General group.
People from Ice City and Southern Base City shouted in excitement. Even if these two people were later surpassed, at least they had temporarily secured the first place.
According to team leaders, as long as they ranked, there was a chance to get a spot in the final standings, and the chance was quite big. So ranking almost guaranteed points.
Lou Qingfeng happily returned to the crowd of Ice City Base City, accepting their cheers. Lin Zhen also said to him, “Well done.”
Lou Qingfeng glanced at Lin Zhen without saying anything, but the murderous intent in his eyes was not as strong as before, indicating that his heart had also changed.
Wu Ming returned to the crowd as well. To be precise, his performance was not outstanding, but being able to pass the test was commendable.
Two first places were secured by Ice City Base City, and Guan Shanyue was all
smiles, feeling very good.
As the group of the first fifteen finished, it was time for the sixteenth to thirtieth martial artists to take the stage.
This time, there were also a few people who received more attention, but they were not in the Advanced War General group but rather Intermediate War General with two particularly strong contenders.
In the Junior group, Zhang Yue from Ice City was on stage.
After the final tests, all of the Advanced group were eliminated. In the Intermediate group, one person passed but scored lower than Wu Ming, ranking second. In the Junior group, two more people passed, one from Tianfu and the other being Zhang Yue.
Furthermore, Zhang Yue scored the highest, surpassing not only the martial artist from Tianfu but also Baichuan, who was first in the previous attempt in the Junior group, becoming the first place in the Junior War General group.
Zhang Yue swaggered on his way back, saying to Lin Zhen, “Idol, you say you won’t appear until the last group, so does that mean I have a chance to stay in first place all the way? Finally, you become first and I second, and we both take the top two in the junior group. How does that sound?” Lin Zhen patted him on the shoulder, “I think it’s doable.”
“Hahahaha!” Zhang Yue laughed heartily.
Now Ice City was in the spotlight, with Lou Qingfeng ranked first in the senior group, Wu Ming ranked first in the intermediate group, and Zhang Yue ranked first in the junior group. All three were Ice City warriors, which made them feel proud and spirited as all the depressive feelings brought by Shen Yuhua had vanished.
However, the warriors from other Base Cities were not so cheerful. Ice City Base City used to be at the bottom, but how did it suddenly shine in this current generation? They had taken three first places, which made other Base Cities lose face.
These warriors were all ready to perform well in the upcoming assessments.
In the third round, a master finally appeared in the senior group, Huang Yinglie from Tianfu Base City.
Indeed, he was extraordinary, and as soon as he entered, he took the lead, snatching Lou Qingfeng’s first place.
Starting from this round, the first place in each group began to change like a carousel, and Wu Ming and Zhang Yue’s rankings plummeted. By the end of the sixth round, the two had even dropped out of the top three.
Later, the Ice City warriors who came on stage had few outstanding performances. Lei Ming from the Dragon-slaying Academy was eliminated in the third round, and Han Fengju from Long Wind Martial Arts Academy managed to pass the round but did not get a good rank, ending up in fourth place in the intermediate group, only slightly better than Wu Ming.
In the eighth round, a high-ranking War General from the southern Base City, Song Tianming, took the stage. In one fell swoop, he surpassed Huang Yinglie from Tianfu Base City, becoming the first in the high-ranking War General group, and Lou Qingfeng was squeezed to third place.
In the ninth round, Zhou Xiangbei from the Capital Base City appeared, and he unexpectedly surpassed Song Tianming to become the first in the senior group. This time, people from the Capital were all elated and even began to mock the other Base Cities, which almost led to a fight.
Lou Qingfeng dropped from third to fourth, and there were no more Ice City warriors left in the top three.
This experience made the people of Ice City realize what it felt like going from heaven to hell. Just a moment ago, they were shining with triple first ranks, but now, they couldn’t find any Ice City warriors within the top three. This disappointment was too immense.
In the tenth round, two star players made their debut.
These two were Tang Yu from Sofia Cathedral in Ice City Base City and Sui Changlong from the military academy in Northwest Base City.
The appearance of these two triggered cheers from the warriors of their respective Base Cities.
Tang Yu was already a leading figure in Ice City Base City, being the biggest hope of the city this time. People hoped that he could make a great achievement, preferably by taking first place in the high-level War General group, in order to regain Ice City’s lost pride.
As for the burly Sui Changlong from the Northwest military arts academy, he had a huge reputation in the Northwest, even rivaling the top-ranked military War General Li Changying.
As soon as he appeared, the warriors in military uniforms from the Northwest began cheering in unison, the momentum astonishing.
Tang Yu appeared calm and composed as he walked on stage, but he first made a detour to the Capital Base City camp.
When he stood in front of a white-dressed woman from the Capital Base City, all eyes focused on them.
Tang Yu was a handsome man with an air of nobility, and the woman in white was even more beautiful, like a fairy. She was none other than Su Mingyue, the most-watched goddess among the newcomers.
Tang Yu stood in front of Su Mingyue, his face adorned with a spring-like smile, which left several female warriors around him dazzled and infatuated.
“Mingyue, long time no see.” Tang Yu spoke, his voice magnetic and captivating.
Su Mingyue raised her head, her irresistible face revealing a hint of a smile, “Indeed, it has been a long time.”
Because they were both Divine Sect disciples, they had met each other when they were younger, but that was already ten years ago.
“We’ve both grown up, and before coming to the God Generals Training Camp, I thought I might see you again. Fortunately, the gods have blessed me, allowing me to see Mingyue once more.”
“May the gods bless us all.” Su Mingyue’s face carried a faint, enigmatic smile, as if she was smiling but also not quite smiling.
Tang Yu spoke again, “Actually, I wish you had appeared earlier, so that I could chase after you.”
“Wow!” The surrounding female warriors exclaimed in unison, sensing the double entendre in Tang Yu’s words.
Su Mingyue hesitated before asking, “What do you mean?”
“Hehe! Mingyue, don’t overthink it. I know your strength is strong, but I merely wish to experience the joy of pursuit. Just watch my performance.” “Hmm, do your best.” Su Mingyue encouraged him with a word.
Tang Yu turned and walked away gracefully, his every move perfect and impeccable, like a true dragon among men.
At the far end near the Ice City Base City camp, some warriors shouted in unison, “From the other shore, men of jade! Ten miles of spring breeze isn’t as good as you! Tang Yu! Tang Yu!”
Zhang Yue didn’t join in the cheering. Instead, he frowned as he watched Tang Yu’s actions, and said to Lin Zhen beside him, “Idol, the more I look at this guy, the more fake he seems. But he does have a good appearance. You don’t think that Su Mingyue will fall for him, do you?”
Lin Zhen glanced at the white-dressed Su Mingyue in the distance and then at Tang Yu who was leaving. He slowly said, “No..”
