Early in the morning, before the sun rose, Haoyuan City was shrouded in a thick fog. "Mmm."

As the main city of Savage Star was near the Great River Swamp, the water vapor of the city was rather abundant. It was common for the city to be foggy, especially when it was night time.

At this time, each star tower became a lighthouse. The light emitted by the tower pierced through the fog and lit up the area for hundreds of miles, protecting millions of human beings.

The little girl was very disappointed. Every time Nie Feng was by her side, she would have a sense of security.

Nie Feng smiled and said to Nie Chen, "Take good care of your sister here, and take care of the things I told you. Hopefully, when I come back, you'll be able to live in my new home."

Before he prepared to participate in the assessment, Nie Feng gave Nie Chen a sum of money to rent a house near the Haoyuan Martial Pavilion so that he could settle down in the future.

In the end, the Lakeside Inn was only a temporary place to stay. It was impossible for it to stay for long periods of time, and the room fees were also very expensive.

Haoyuan City was huge, and there were many houses. However, good houses were always very popular. Since Nie Feng had the time to run around looking for a house, giving it to Nie Chen was naturally the best choice.

Nie Chen patted his chubby chest and said, "Don't worry, Young Master. This little one will definitely take care of this little one. I'll let you have a new house when I tell you to come back!"

Nie Feng smiled and said, "There's no need to rush. The key point is that it has to be suitable. It doesn't matter if we spend more money. Right …"

He reminded him solemnly, "Pay attention to your own safety. Don't let anyone else notice you."

Nie Feng gave Nie Chen quite a bit of money. If such a small kid like him were to be exposed, it'd be easy for him to arouse the greed of others. With his small stature, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist it.

Nie Chen nodded his head, "I know, I hid all the money. No one else could find it."

Ever since he was young, he had been living on the streets. He had long since understood the principle of not exposing one's wealth to the public, so he knew what Nie Feng was worried about.

Nie Feng still put it down. Although this Nie Chen was still young, he was still quite mature. If he spent some time and effort to cultivate him, he might become a capable assistant in the future.

He thought for a moment and said, "This time, when I come back, I will officially teach you martial arts skills."

Hearing this, Nie Chen was instantly overjoyed. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times towards Nie Feng.

"Thank you, young master!"

Cultivating martial arts and becoming a Star rank was his dream all along, and now it was about to come true.

"You're not allowed to kneel anymore in the future!"

Nie Feng reached out and helped him up as he said in a deep voice, "If you keep kneeling and kowtowing, I'll kick you out. If you want to become a real martial practitioner, you must have dignity and backbone!"

Nie Feng's martial arts were fair and square, and those weak and lowly people couldn't learn it.

Nie Feng did not wish for Nie Chen to be such a person, so he did not allow him to kowtow so easily.

Nie Chen nodded his head, as though he understood something.

Nie Feng patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, I'll be going now. Take good care of yourselves."

With that, Nie Feng left the Lakeside Inn and headed towards the Haotian Martial Pavilion.

To them, Nie Feng was their sky. If the sky collapsed, everything would be over.

Therefore, both Nie Chen and Nie Xi silently prayed in their hearts to the Star God.

He prayed that Nie Feng could pass the test and return safely!

Nie Feng met up with the team led by Peng Yi in front of the door of Haoyuan Martial Pavilion.

Peng Yi wasn't bragging at all. In just a short one to two days, he had managed to create a decent team of Fire Department examinees. Other than him, the other eight members were all soldiers, all of them valiant and elite.

Because the assessment mission was dangerous, the Martial Pavilion did not restrict the examinees from forming their own squadron to complete any of the missions. Otherwise, they would have to face off against each other in the swamps where danger lurked.

However, the composition of the team was also very particular. The more people there were, the better. Including Nie Feng, Peng Yi's team made up exactly ten people.

The ten-man team could form the 'Trident', 'Five Evils' and 'Ten Directions' combat formations respectively. They were agile and had formidable combat prowess, and were most suited for battles in complex environments.

The only problem with this team was that Nie Feng wasn't a military samurai. Therefore, he didn't understand the three types of battle formations used by the ten-man team. Therefore, there was a problem with their coordination.

Therefore, with the exception of Peng Yi's brothers, all the other new members of the team were suspicious of Nie Feng's joining. Although they didn't oppose him, their eyes were filled with suspicion.

Among the warriors in the military, the one who trusted the most was a fellow soldier. Outsiders were simply too lacking.

To this, Peng Yi purposely explained to the soldiers, "Brother Nie Feng is the champion of the Star Arena in Nanyuan City. He even helped the caravan eliminate the Demon Wolf Bandits. You don't have to doubt his strength, he's definitely very strong!"

"As for the battle formation, we'll demonstrate it along the way!"

Peng Yi's prestige was undoubtedly very high. His words successfully dispelled everyone's doubts and made the team more united and cohesive.

It was just past dawn when all the participants of the Fire division's assessment were gathered.

More than four hundred young Star rank warriors boarded the horse carriages provided by the Martial Pavilion and drove out of Haoyuan City in a grandiose manner, reaching the riverside docks outside the city.

After disembarking at the dock, everyone boarded the five azure battleships that had been waiting for them for a long time. They followed the current and entered the Great Swamp, heading towards the Fog Swamp.

If everything went well, they would reach the Hidden Fog Swamp by noon tomorrow.

However, this passage was not a safe path. No one could predict what dangers they would encounter along the way! Chapter error, point this report (registered free)
