Chapter 16

Lu Changsheng ignored everyone and started to lift the tripod directly.

He walked forward quickly, came to the side of the giant tripod, straddled his feet, held his hands in a hug, and held the giant tripod firmly in his arms.

"Rise."

Lu Changsheng shouted, pretending to be very strenuous, his face flushed.

He saw the giant tripod slowly rising and leaving the ground.

"Brother Changsheng, well done."

Fang Tao cheered loudly, full of excitement.

He also watched Lu Changsheng practice martial arts and grow up step by step, and he felt honored.

More than a month ago, he used wooden sticks to assist in knocking every day, and he didn't expect Lu Changsheng to really become a martial artist.

This made him very excited.

From now on, the fate of their two families will be completely rewritten.

He secretly vowed to follow Brother Changsheng to practice martial arts well.

Fang Qing on the side was even more shocked.

She has known Lu Changsheng for twenty years, and she doesn't know what kind of person he is? He was completely a street loafer, stealing chickens and dogs every day, walking the streets, without any seriousness. She didn't expect that in just over a month, he would soar into the sky like a dragon. She couldn't help but suspect that she was dreaming, and hurriedly pinched her tender cheeks.

Seeing that there was pain, she let go of her hand, looked at Lu Changsheng's heroic posture, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

A group of martial artists around also looked at Fang Tao and the two with strange expressions.

If there is no medicinal bath cooperation, if you continue to refine like this, you will eventually die, and the family members of the other party are still cheering, which is really ignorant and fearless.

"Drink..."

Just then, Lu Changsheng exerted force suddenly, lifted the giant tripod over his head, and stood steadily in the air.

"Pass."

As Gao Yunming slowly spat out two words, Lu Changsheng put the giant tripod down.

"Clang..."

The giant tripod hit the bluestone on the ground, making a clanging sound.

Lu Changsheng clapped his hands and walked slowly toward Fang Qing and her brother.

He was very satisfied with his acting just now.

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to expose himself, no one will discover his true strength.

As a mature person, he naturally knows that when everything about him is exposed to the outside world, it is the most dangerous moment.

Only by always hiding a hand can he block soldiers and cover water.

And the way martial artists divide their strength is also very simple and crude.

Although there is a division of Stone Skin, Iron Skin, and Copper Skin, real life-and-death fighting still needs to be fought to know.

A Stone Skin martial artist is not necessarily unable to kill an Iron Skin martial artist.

Some poisons and even hidden weapons can turn the tide of the battle at critical moments.

As for the matter of investigating the realm, it is also nonsense; only when the martial artist's blood is running can he sense the degree of Skin Refinement.

In a life-and-death battle between the two sides, the person who can live is stronger.

The Demon Suppression Office sets up three specifications of giant tripods, which can only initially judge the size of the martial artist's strength.

And what determines the success or failure of a martial artist is not just strength.

Before long, Lu Changsheng returned to the original place.

"Practice martial arts well; if Uncle Lu sees that you have such great achievements today, he will also be happy..."

Fang Qing's eyes were shining, and her palms were pinching her skirt tightly.

"Sister-in-law Qing, I know, thank you for your care all these years."

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly.

Fang Qing was stunned when she heard this; she felt that Lu Changsheng had changed a lot.

It felt like he had grown up.

"Brother Changsheng, you were so majestic just now."

Fang Tao also said excitedly.

The neighbors on the side saw this and immediately surrounded them, full of flattery.

"Changsheng, you have really achieved something..."

Fang Tao turned his head away, his eyes full of indignation.

They also saw the snobbish faces of these neighbors.

Lu Changsheng was cold and ignored everyone.

A group of neighbors smiled awkwardly and retreated.

At the same time, they regretted it very much; when the other party was in trouble, they completely cut off contact, otherwise they could have shared some glory today.

As Lu Changsheng left the field, the martial artists behind also challenged one after another.

It was all finished by the afternoon.

Most of the martial artists challenged successfully, and only a few people didn't even lift the 800-jin giant tripod, which made people despise them.

These people who were lucky were also a minority.

Most martial artists still have a clear understanding of themselves.

After all, this kind of assessment that has lasted for hundreds of years is not a secret.

Just after the last martial artist completed the assessment, the three examiners immediately walked down the high platform and came to the crowd.

"All those who pass will become trainee Demon Suppression Envoys; is there anyone who refuses?"

Gao Yunming scanned the crowd and shouted loudly. Seeing that no one refused, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Since everyone agrees, I will report to the Deputy Hall Master later and register you all..."

"Thank you, senior."

Everyone hurriedly arched their hands, full of respect.

At this time, another thin examiner smiled slightly.

"Colleagues, all trainee Demon Suppression Envoys must be affiliated with a Yellow-tier Demon Suppression Envoy. Today, the three of us are here to select..."

After speaking, he looked at Gao Yunming again.

"Brother Gao, I won't be polite."

According to the convention, the three also took turns to select according to the contribution value, and this time Gao Yunming was still at the bottom.

Soon, the two examiners selected some potential seeds on the field into their own teams one after another, their faces always full of smiles.

Especially Li Yunhua and several other family disciples with strong blood were all included by the two.

Only Lu Changsheng and a dozen ordinary martial artists were left on the field.

All of them barely lifted the 1,200-jin giant tripod.

Of course, we must also count this "alien" Lu Changsheng.

Soon, Gao Yunming said casually: "You will temporarily belong to my command; now go to the Demon Suppression Office to register immediately."

He didn't pay much attention to these remaining martial artists.

A year later, it is hard to say how many people will be left; perhaps none can be left, so it naturally cannot attract his attention.

As for Lu Changsheng, he was completely ignored.

In his view, those who forcibly stimulate their potential and practice the Iron Cloth Shirt almost have no chance of passing the one-year assessment.

This one-year career as a trainee Demon Suppression Envoy is the other party's last time.

Soon, Gao Yunming and several others took a large group of martial artists to the Demon Suppression Office.

Lu Changsheng also followed closely.

At the same time, he did not forget to tell Fang Qing and the two siblings.

"You wait for me here for a while."

Fang Qing and the two also nodded in agreement.

The Demon Suppression Office is located not far from the central square, at an intersection on the west side.

The surroundings are quite clean and tidy, forming a sharp contrast with the dirt and chaos of the civilian area.

This is just the outer city; the inner city must be more luxurious.

Although the County Office and the Demon Suppression Office are both in the outer city, the core figures of both sides rest in the inner city at night and only come to the office to work during the day.

Before long, a group of people arrived at the Demon Suppression Office in a mighty manner.

Lu Changsheng looked up, and a pair of huge stone lions stood on both sides, very majestic.

The two vermilion gates were several feet high, as if telling the traces of time.

At this time, some martial artists were going in and out of the door, very urgent, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

The three Demon Suppression Envoys took everyone into the office directly.

Before long, they arrived at a desk in the side hall.

An old man with white hair and beard was sitting on a chair.

"Old Ji, this batch of martial artists has been brought."

Gao Yunming and the three walked up quickly and arched their hands.

"Everyone, come and line up to register immediately."

The old man shouted with full breath.

Lu Changsheng and others heard this and immediately began to line up, forming a long dragon.

As one martial artist after another picked up the waist badge on the desk and left, it was soon Lu Changsheng's turn.

"Name?"

"Lu Changsheng."

"Age?"

"Twenty."

"Are there any relatives still alive? You can only choose two."

The old man asked questions one by one, very concise and clear.

"Fang Qing and Fang Tao."

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and reported two names.

He naturally knew what the other party meant; as long as you join the Demon Suppression Office, even your relatives will be protected, which is one of the reasons why many martial artists squeeze into it desperately.

Not only that, but they will also be equipped with a special courtyard, which is located not far from the Demon Suppression Office and is very safe.

"Hmm."

The old man nodded lightly, took out a large jade waist badge and a pair of small waist badges, and placed them on the desk.

"This is the identity token; if you fail to promote within the one-year assessment period, you must return it and lose all benefits..."

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

Lu Changsheng was very polite, picked up the jade badge on the table, and turned to walk back.
