After one round of fighting, only one disciple from the Sunset Sect was unlucky enough to be eliminated.
Zhang Qiuhao was in a good mood. He whispered: "I'm pretty lucky. Fortunately, my disciples from the Sunset Sect didn't meet you, otherwise they would have been eliminated..."
Chu Zhongan nodded without saying anything. He looked to the side, where a young man in civilian clothes was nodding towards Chu Zhongan with a smile on his face.
"It seems that I am only at the early stage of Jinjing Realm, and I have narrowly won in the arena, but I always feel unfathomable... I don't know if it's an illusion..." Chu Zhongan thought to himself, and he also smiled at the young man.
After coming down from the ring, Shi Dun'er looked nervous and silent again. He didn't answer anyone who spoke.
"Qiu Hao, didn't you hear? This is just the first level. Don't take it lightly. You might be wiped out in the next round..." Huang Dong said with a smile.
Zhang Qiuhao glanced at Huang Dong angrily and said, "Brother Dong, please don't be like a crow. This time, I, the Sunset Gate, will definitely win!"
"Speaking of which, the Sunset Sect has become famous this time. Was your master killed by the sect because his scandal was exposed?" Huang Dong said mysteriously.
"Don't make wild guesses!" Zhang Qiuhao's face turned extremely ugly and he said coldly.
Seeing that Zhang Qiuhao was a little angry, Huang Dong quickly said: "No more, no more, I'm just curious..."
At this moment, the Dragon Elephant Army general stepped onto the ring again. He glanced at the people in the audience and said, "First of all, congratulations to all of you for entering the next round of selection. If you can stand out, you can participate in the special training of the Dragon Elephant Army throughout the Great Shun Dynasty. , after completing the special training, His Royal Highness will personally select his personal guards!"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, and many of them looked bitter. It seemed that the road to becoming Xiang Wentian's personal guard was quite bumpy.
A bold martial arts master said loudly: "General, how many of us will be successfully selected in the end?"
The general of the Longxiang Army said sternly: "I just said, don't make any noise!"
His expression suddenly softened and he continued: "But since you have passed the first round of tests, I will spare you for now."
"As for how many of you will become His Highness's bodyguards, maybe all of them can do it, or maybe they will all be wiped out. It all depends on performance! But having said that, even if I want to become His Highness's bodyguards, I can't do it. Just with you people, I Look!" The general's expression showed a hint of disdain.
Many people in the audience showed angry expressions, but the general had spoken first, and no one dared to refute this time.
"Our Dragon Elephant Army is the elite among Shun's elites. Those who join our Dragon Elephant Army will naturally go into battle to kill the enemy. You and other Jianghu people have never experienced real battlefield fighting. The content of this round of selection is a life-and-death melee. , let you personally experience the cruelty of the battlefield first!" The general of the Dragon Elephant Army said with a cruel smile.
As soon as the general finished speaking, many people in the audience showed panic expressions. The mere words "fighting between life and death" made the selection extremely dangerous.
"General, is it possible that people will die just because of the competition?" One of the masters said with a slightly trembling voice. He was not very strong and barely won the last round of the ring.
The general of the Longxiang Army smiled and said: "If you dare to participate in today's selection, you must be prepared to lick blood on the tip of the knife. It's just killing people. Which one of the hands of Paoze present has not been stained with the blood of the enemy? Do you guys think so?" "
"Yes, I have only been in the Dragon Elephant Army for a short period of time, and I already have seven or eight lives on my hands. I heard that there is someone in the army who has killed a thousand people!"
"What does it mean to kill a thousand people? Our Crown Prince once killed ten thousand people in one battle. How domineering that was!"
"His Royal Highness is a god descending to earth, how can we compare it?"
The officers and soldiers of the Longxiang Army who were watching on the side laughed loudly and responded. When they mentioned Xiang Wentian, they spoke with great admiration.
"It seems that this number one among the younger generation is by no means simply strong in military force. His prestige in the military is far beyond imagination. I wonder if my brother can compare with him..." Chu Zhongan couldn't help but think of Chu Boping when he heard this.
In his heart, his brother is not inferior to Xiang Wentian, but he is just secretive. When Chu Boping became famous in the world, it was also the day when Jin An reappeared.
"Okay, okay, since you asked others to stop making noise!" the general said with a silent gesture.
Seeing that the robes were no longer speaking, he continued: "If any of you are afraid, you can raise it now and you can withdraw from the selection immediately. I have promised you in advance that you are not allowed to admit defeat in the middle of this melee. The enemy on the battlefield will not let you go just because you surrender." Take your life!"
"If you surrender, won't you become a prisoner? At least you won't die!" A handsome young man in the audience said.
The general said with a look of disdain on his face: "Of course you can surrender. When the time comes, you have to beg the enemy for mercy. Life and death depend on other people's thoughts. If you are unlucky, you will suffer endless humiliation!" The more he said, the more his face grew. The colder it gets.
After everyone passed the first round of competition, the general seemed to be less strict about speaking.
"This is Ding Yuan, one of the best young masters in Sunset City. His cultivation level is still higher than Qiu Hao's." Huang Dong whispered, obviously speaking to Chu Zhongan and Shi Dun'er.
Chu Zhongan frowned and looked at Ding Yuan. He was very unhappy with the young master's words.
At this time, Ding Yuan once again took the courage to say: "A man can bend and stretch, and he will keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood! It's better to be alive than to be dead!"
"What you said is naturally applicable in the arena, but it does not work on the battlefield, especially among the Dragon Elephant Army! The Dragon Elephant Army has no word of surrender in its heart, and would rather die than lose its identity as the Dragon Elephant Army Glory!" the general said proudly.
He stared at Ding Yuan and said calmly: "You were eliminated!"
Ding Yuan immediately widened his eyes and said with an expression of disbelief: "Someone spoke just now, why wasn't he eliminated?"
The general snorted coldly and said: "We did not eliminate you because of the noise. Although you have strong cultivation and excellent performance in the ring, you are not suitable for the Dragon Elephant Army. It is better to leave early!"
"I just said a few words and was eliminated. Aren't the Dragon Elephant Army afraid of missing out on good talents?" Ding Yuan said with an angry look on his face.
The general looked down on Ding Yuan and said: "With your level of cultivation, our Dragon and Elephant Army are everywhere, but we are more bloody than you. If you are dissatisfied with me, you can come to me for revenge. I will accompany you at any time. Remember this, Shi Liang, Centurion of the Dragon and Elephant Army!"
"Shi Liang, I remember!" Ding Yuan stared at Shi Liang fiercely, as if he would take action at any time.
"Get out!" Shi Liang waved his hand forcefully and issued the eviction order.
Ding Yuan finally didn't dare to get angry and turned around to leave.
"If any of you want to give up, do it now. You won't have this chance in a while!" Shi Liang said with a gloomy face.
Soon three more people left, leaving only about thirty people present, but none of them were just ordinary people.
"Since you choose to continue, the second round of selection begins now." Shi Liang announced while gesturing.
The Dragon Elephant Army soldiers present immediately understood and each took out a palm-sized wooden board and threw it into the air. These wooden boards were engraved with the Dragon Elephant Army's logo.
Some of the people participating in the selection went to pick up these wooden boards, while others were indifferent.
Seeing that all the wooden boards had their owners, Shi Liang continued: "The wooden board just thrown out is a token of passing the selection!"
Those who grabbed the wooden boards immediately burst into laughter, and some even showed off to others with the wooden boards.
"No one is allowed to leave the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion. Violators will be eliminated immediately. The melee will end after half an hour. Those who still hold the token will pass the selection. There are no rules during this period. No matter whether you are injured, maimed or killed, you will be responsible for the consequences!" Shi Liang explained the rules in just a few sentences.
Now the person with the wooden frame can no longer laugh. In half an hour, they will become the prey of others. If they don't have enough skills, it will be difficult to save them, and they may even be in danger of losing their lives.
Immediately, someone threw the wooden planks out. The cost of being such a standout was extremely high, and the gain outweighed the loss.
If someone throws it away, someone will pick it up. Naturally, there are people who are skilled and brave. Needless to say, Chu Zhongan's skill is not to mention. He picked up two wooden boards with lightning speed, and then gave one to Shi Dun'er.
"Brother, I..." Shi Dun'er quickly put away the wooden board, but his expression was very panicked. It was his first fight yesterday. He had never experienced this kind of life and death battle.
"Try your best, you and I will be able to hold it together!" Chu Zhongan encouraged him with confidence.
Shi Dun'er stared at Chu Zhongan's face. He quickly calmed down and clenched his fists tightly.
With Chu Zhongan's method, he could have snatched the plank last, which was the best choice. However, with such a good opportunity to adapt to the army, he naturally wanted Shi Dun'er to show off his skills.
The disciples of the Sunset Sect also got three wooden boards in their hands. Zhang Qiuhao was in a good mood at this time. Such rules were really beneficial to everyone in the Sunset Sect, and a few people dared to provoke them in the group.
"The selection has begun! Everyone, let's fight to your heart's content!" Shi Liang said excitedly.
Some of the guys with wooden planks immediately took cover, while others started to chase in small groups.
The war is about to break out, and even Huang Dong is separated from Zhang Qiuhao and others, and he is acting alone.
Chu Zhongan's performance in the ring battle just now was not very impressive. Several people attacked him at the beginning, but Shi Dun'er was surrounded by people. No one dared to touch him for the time being.
The people surrounding Chu Zhongan were all masters of the Jinjin realm. One of them was in the middle stage and two were in the early stage. Their strength was really not good enough. He tried to be more serious and the three of them were repulsed. The battle had just begun, so naturally no one was chasing them. , are all withdrawn at the first touch.
Shi Liang looked at the melee below with satisfaction, and suddenly shouted: "Up!"
The surrounding dragon and elephant troops immediately started to move, and they rushed into the battle group with weapons in hand.
The people who were fighting in the melee could not have imagined that the soldiers of the Dragon Elephant Army would suddenly take action. Many people were caught off guard. However, the soldiers of the Dragon Elephant Army did not intend to kill, and they did not really use their sharp blades at each other, so no one was killed.
