"Why do I need to be afraid?", Yusheng asked curiously, looking back at the burly man.
In the previous moment, the stern-looking man broke into a hearty laugh and said, "Haha, Old Liu, your student is quite interesting!"
"Indeed, indeed!"
The burly man patted Liu Qingfeng's shoulder for the third time, heavily.
Liu Qingfeng frowned slightly and silently stepped back two paces.
These fellows from Lingwu University were as burly as bulls—a bunch of rough men.
Observing the camaraderie between Liu Qingfeng and the burly man, the teachers from the other two schools exchanged puzzled glances.
With such a connection...
Wouldn't Second High School have an advantage over both First High School and Third High School in this assessment?
However, they chose to remain silent.
This was the rule of the new world.
Even if the burly man had a backdoor entry for Second High School, it was earned through countless life-and-death struggles on the battlefield by Liu Qingfeng himself.
Moreover, they hadn't even been to the battlefield, they had always been in the rear of the human race, enjoying the comfort brought by the lives of others. What right did they have to talk about fairness when seeking advantages?
"Let's have a good drink tonight!"
The burly man seemed excited at the moment. As his bear-like hand approached him once again, Liu Qingfeng was prepared and promptly sidestepped, giving his poor shoulder a moment to catch its breath.
"Tsk, same old manners."
The burly man rolled his eyes, nonchalantly turned around, and resumed his serious expression.
"You young folks!"
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Luo Tian, the captain of the Third Squad of the Demon-Slaying Pavilion in Jiangbei Province."
"A Five-generation Awakener!"
"I won't bore you with other achievements, it's not meaningful to show off to a bunch of kids like you."
"Today's assessment..."
"Let me think."
Luo Tian actually fell into contemplation, staying motionless for a long time.
It seemed that he genuinely hadn't figured out what to assess before coming.
The two people in the monitoring room were shocked by this and exchanged a wordless glance.
"I knew it, the Demon-Slaying Pavilion is a bunch of idiots!"
One of them couldn't hold back the impulse and groaned, covering his head.
The other person sighed softly, quickly regaining composure. "We should get used to it, shouldn't we?"
"You're right."
"We've grown accustomed to it."
They comforted each other, trying to maintain a stable emotional state.
In the next moment, the monitoring screen transmitted Luo Tian's rough voice again.
"Hahaha, a man should charge forward fearlessly!"
"In the arena, the victor rises and the defeated falls!"
"That settles it!"
His voice was tinged with a hint of pride and self-importance, as if he were thrilled that he had come up with such a good plan.
"Damn, this assessment is to test how they handle unexpected events, their caution and their character!"
"I can't stand this idiot!"
"Why did they release him but not the Strategist of the Third Squad?"
The person who had just been comforting the other one now collapsed and cursed at the monitoring screen.
The Strategist...
Usually, every small team in the Demon-Slaying Pavilion had one.
They were the true core strategists of the team, usually the brains behind every operation.
Of course, some team captains themselves took on this role.
But clearly, Luo Tian wasn't one of them.
The other person covered his face, feeling a bit pained. "Xin Hai City had an incident recently and their strategist was sent to help. I thought he deliberately delayed his appearance to test these people's character."
For a moment, the monitoring room was in despair.
...
Liu Qingfeng remained silent, not chatting much, even though he knew that his old comrade was the chief examiner for this assessment. He became even more reserved and stood in the corner.
However, Zhao Zicheng and the other two were somewhat pleased.
Their eyes sparkled when they looked at Liu Qingfeng.
Although he was a teacher from their own school, Liu Qingfeng had always been very low-key and didn't know much about him.
They didn't expect him to be this formidable.
"Now that we are clear on the assessment rules..."
"Let's begin."
Suddenly, a virtual image of a green wolf appeared behind Luo Tian. On the wolf's forehead, one could vaguely see four embedded gems.
The next moment, the green wolf disappeared from its original spot.
Dust flew up again, obstructing everyone's vision.
When the dust settled and they looked again, a massive circle had been drawn on the ground.
"This is the arena."
"Whoever surrenders or steps out of the circle is considered defeated."
Saying this, Luo Tian leaped and sat on the hood of his off-road vehicle, making people wonder if the hood would collapse under his weight at any moment.
He lit another cigarette, as the smoke swirled around him, Luo Tian casually pointed at two people.
"Let's have a match between you two."
Fortunately, Luo Tian still had some brains and could distinguish the different school uniforms, so he didn't let people from the same school fight each other right from the start.
The two men looked solemn and slowly stepped into the circle, taking a deep breath to ease their nerves.
"One High School, Xiao Zifeng!"
"Please enlighten me."
Before the other person could start the fight, the one called Xiao Zifeng suddenly shouted loudly. In the other person's bewildered state, he rushed forward.
Soon, the other person also reacted, inwardly cursing his tardiness and preparing to shout as well.
But it was already too late.
Xiao Zifeng threw a punch in his face.
The man gritted his teeth, stepping back two steps just in time to avoid the punch. He was about to counterattack when Xiao Zifeng suddenly lifted his foot and kicked.
For a moment...
The battlefield...
Well, there wasn't any killing intent or tension.
It was just two unawakened kids fighting, what exciting moves could they make?
Moreover, they weren't from big cities, they also didn't receive any traditional martial arts training. It was all just for fun.
But Luo Tian found it quite enjoyable.
He watched with great interest.
Xiao Zifeng's face was covered in bruises, but he still stood proudly in the arena.
"One High School, Xiao Zifeng."
"A modest display."
Shouting again, his gaze seemed to flicker over Luo Tian's body.
Luo Tian chuckled, he didn't say much and casually pointed at two other people to take the stage.
Since Xiao Zifeng's shout, the atmosphere has already taken on a different flavor.
One by one, they all wished to shout out their names with all their might.
Voices were booming.
Luo Tian gradually lost interest, yawning repeatedly and lighting one cigarette after another.
Zhao Zicheng and his companions also went on stage.
Only Zhao Zicheng won, but just barely.
His face was a bit swollen, he stood at the back, muttering something.
