C179

The Thousand Military Array assessment had already lasted for the time it took four incense sticks to burn. Among the new students, only two of them were still persisting.

In the late morning, the warm sunlight shone into the valley, bringing a deep warmth to the cool spring. Under the illumination of the sunlight, the two who were currently examining the small plaza closed their eyes, their bodies covered in a layer of golden light.

Everyone's eyes were fixated on these two people.

In a corner of the valley, Pang Qiang forced out a long yawn as he glanced at Ling Yan, who was still persisting on. This was within his expectations, after all, he was the Number One Freshman, otherwise it would not be fun. He still wanted to play with Ling Yan in the competition, and if Ling Yan's strength was too weak, he would find it boring.

Freshmen still needed to have their own will and will in order to challenge him. The top student among the freshmen was indeed very arrogant. Pang Qiang forced a cold smile on his face.

Among the eight elders, one of them had an unpleasant expression on his face.

He and Division Chief Hammer were always rivals, just like the blade and sword departments. He had often sparred with them, and had always thought that his students would be able to suppress them.

In the previous eight subjects, according to the student's ranking, he was stronger than the Hammer Department. During the freshmen entrance assessment, Xu Shizhen had also managed to defeat the rest of Ningzhou, once again trampling over the Hammer Department disciples.

For the sake of ranking the new student in the Thousand Military Array, he had also given Xu Shizhen some benefits to help him with his cultivation. Xu Shizhen had been very successful in breaking through to the third level of the Mortal Stage in a short period of time.

He had originally thought that he would be able to shine within this Thousand Military Array. However, it was hard to predict what would happen next. The hammerhead disciples actually rushed up to him.

Feeling the faintly discernible, complacent gaze of the Chief of the Hammer Department at the side, the face of the Chief of the Axe Department, Old Shunjie, immediately turned black.

"Heh heh, Elder Diao, don't be so discouraged. It's just a small competition between freshmen. Besides, a child from Peace State might not be as good as your Xu Shizhen in terms of points, right?" Seeing that Qu Jie had suffered a setback, the hammer elder chuckled and said, "Hehe, don't be in such a good mood."

You're still showing off?! Seeing your face smiling like a chrysanthemum, he immediately snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, Elder Hammer, this old man is doing very well. Anyway, that disciple of yours is about to come out!"

In this period of time, the Chief of the Ax Division had already noticed that Ning Bang's face began to twist in pain within the white light. In this period of time, the Axe Elder had already observed that Ning Bang's face began to twist in pain within the white light, and he sneered in his heart.

"Who said …" Before he could finish his words, he stopped himself because he saw Ning Bang's twisted and pained expression. This was a sign of him being seriously injured in the Thousand Military Array. Once he was seriously injured in there, he wouldn't be far from leaving.

Three seconds later, there was a flash of white light, followed by a muffled groan. Ning Bang had retreated from the Thousand Military Array.

Everyone hurriedly turned their gazes to the shadow curtain above the white altar, especially Xu Shizhen. As he stared at the shadow curtain with burning eyes, their hearts trembled.

With just that little bit of time left, Ning Bang's score might not even be as high as his, Xu Shizhen thought to himself. However, when he saw a name flash in front of the 25th row, Xu Shizhen's heart sank.

In the shadow of the curtain, the name of Ningbang was fixed.

"Ningbang, rank 355."

Damn, Xu Shizhen's fists were clenched tightly.
