2680 Advancement assessment (1)

Knowing that there was something he wanted in the library, Tang Zhen didn’t continue to search. Instead, he chose a book about geography and history and began to read it unhurriedly.

He discovered that these books did not mention the existence of the origin world. Even the other small worlds were not mentioned.

This could only mean one thing-the ruler was deliberately hiding this matter, so that ordinary people would not know about the existence of other worlds.

Tang Zhen was not clear about the specific reason for the time being, but he had a rough guess.

It was nothing more than a worry that it would affect the rule, because too much information would gradually let the people understand the truth about this world.

It was precisely because of ignorance that they would not have too many desires and would not be tempted by all kinds of evil gods.

If the common folk were driven by various desires, it would give demons and evil gods an opportunity, making it easier to descend.

When that time came, the human world would be filled with traces of demons, and the entire world would fall into chaos.

It seemed that if he wanted to understand the world of Haotian, he needed other channels, or a higher level.

Tang Zhen had already made up his mind to use the identity of Ronald for a long time. This was because the higher the rank of the person he possessed, the more information he would obtain.

In the next two days, Tang Zhen didn’t go anywhere and was reading in the library.

When the day of the test arrived, Tang Zhen made some simple preparations and went to the training ground of the demon slayers headquarters.

When he arrived, he realized that he wasn’t the only one taking the test. There were hundreds of people taking the test.

These people came from different cities, and they were basically all descendants of nobles. Handsome men and beautiful women could be seen everywhere.

The nobles had better resources, and their descendants were obviously better than ordinary people, whether in terms of appearance or aptitude.

This was also one of the reasons why the demon subduing troops chose the children of nobles first. First, it was to prevent these children from doing nothing and causing a negative impact on Social Security.

After joining the demon subduing unit, not only could they control the number of noble children through appropriate casualties, but they could also select the real elite talents.

The other reason was that the children of the noble families had received all kinds of training from a young age. In addition to their excellent genes, their qualifications were indeed far superior to ordinary people.

Numerous gazes swept over Tang Zhen’s body after he appeared. Clearly, they were making a basic judgment on him.

In this test, anyone could become their competitor, so the seemingly joking scene was actually just a usual performance of these noble children.

It was no different from a fool’s dream to make them truly befriend each other. If there were really such fools, they would not be able to exist in this circle for long.

Tang Zhen was too lazy to care about these aristocratic children who thought themselves to be extraordinary. There were indeed quite a number of outstanding people among these natives. However, that was only in comparison to those of the same race.

If one were to look at the great thousand world, the cultivation qualifications of these indigenous people were not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of many races.

Tang Zhen had a deep understanding of this point. There would always be someone stronger among the strong, and there was always a mountain higher than the others.

According to the staff’s request, Tang Zhen received a special vest with his combat personnel number on it.

In the following time, they had to wait for the examiner to enter the venue and then conduct the test according to the requirements.

It didn’t take long for the examiners from the demon slayers headquarters to arrive, and the advancement test officially began.

Tang Zhen’s eyes swept over the examiners and discovered that there was a woman among them. She was the one he had seen in the library.

Coincidentally, the other party raised his head. When he saw Tang Zhen, who was standing opposite him, his long eyebrows slightly frowned.

At this moment, a staff member blew the whistle, signaling the official start of the assessment.

The demon fighters who were waiting were all in high spirits and adjusted themselves to their best condition. All of them looked determined.

The first test was strength and swordsmanship.

According to the requirements of the test, the tester must use a rune longsword of standard weight and skillfully perform a set of sword techniques of corresponding difficulty within the specified time. Then, the judge would score the tester according to his performance.

This was the most basic test. If they couldn’t complete this, there was no need to participate in the subsequent tests.

As the staff read out the number, one of the demon fighters stepped forward and picked up a standard rune epee from the weapon rack.

This weapon weighed 50 kilograms, and it was also a one-handed sword. If one didn’t have the corresponding strength, they couldn’t use it at all.

After the man picked it up, he waved it a few times, looking very relaxed.

A few of the examiners in charge of the assessment shook their heads secretly. The woman’s night vision was so bad.

They were very experienced and could naturally tell if the candidate was really strong or just trying to show off.

When the man swung the rune heavy sword, there was a slight unnoticeable sluggishness, which was clearly a sign of a lack of power.

Although there was not much of a problem at the beginning, when the power consumption was too high, the disadvantages would immediately appear.

Just as the examiners had predicted, the man made a series of mistakes during the sword technique demonstration. In the end, he did not manage to complete the sword technique demonstration in the time limit.

The examiners were expressionless as they gave the verdict of not passing. It was normal for such a situation to occur.

Many of the participants did not know that the training ground had a special runic magic circle that would simulate a real battlefield environment, causing psychological and physical pressure to the participants.

There were many people who took part in the test every year, but only a few could pass it. Even if they passed this test, they would have problems in other projects.

In the following time, one participant after another walked forward and demonstrated their sword techniques in front of the examiner.

There were good and bad results, and the passing rate was also very high, but the evaluation was basically ordinary.

After a period of time, it was finally Tang Zhen’s turn to take the stage.

The moment he appeared, the woman’s gaze turned to him, a playful smile on her lips.

She wanted to see how the boastful guy in the library would react.

In fact, from her thoughts, one could tell that she didn’t think much of Tang Zhen. She only felt that Tang Zhen was a self-righteous noble from the countryside.

Under everyone’s gaze, Tang Zhen walked to the center of the test field and swept his eyes over the rune heavy sword placed on the stone platform.

However, he didn’t take the weapon. Instead, he walked to the weapon rack at the side and pulled out a dark green rune longsword.

“Swish!”

The moment the sword was pulled out, it actually let out a long cry, as if it was the cheerful cry of some animal.

When the staff member in charge of maintaining order saw this, he was about to step forward to stop Tang Zhen but was stopped by another staff member who was slightly older.

Tang Zhen, who had changed to a rune heavy sword, was imitating the other examinees as he casually brandished his sword, creating a sword flower.

It was such a simple adaptive action, but it made the examiners ‘eyes light up, because they knew what it meant.

Tang Zhen’s control over this weapon had already reached the level where he could lift something heavy as though it was light. Moreover, he could release and retract it as he wished.

In other words, this 100 kg rune longsword had already become like Tang Zhen’s four limbs.

When he used the long sword, he could not feel any weight and it was as easy as controlling his own arm.

Tang Zhen didn’t even need to practice. The examiner already knew the result. He would definitely pass with excellent results!
