Not only were they responsible for the safety of the city, they were strictly guarding against the impact of Demonic Beast s. They were also prepared to be deployed at any time to compensate for the lack of West Royal City. This was the duty of every city in the eight marquises and twelve counties.

However, the City Lord of Golden Wheat City only had such a daughter, which could be considered as having no one to succeed him. Thus, when he chose his son-in-law, he treated her as if she was his successor and selected him.

Shen Longxuan had just learned that everyone present had an ill.u.s.trious ident.i.ty. There was the son of a commander, and also the son of a general.

"Chief Housekeeper, we are here for a blind date, not to recruit a general. What's the use of holding so many tests?"

"If you don't want to, you can go back. No one is asking you to come!" The Chief Housekeeper coldly said, "Coming here is to obey the rules, I don't want to hear people ask me this kind of question again.

Otherwise, you will be punished according to your failure in the test, and then enter the second stage. In the pavilion in front, there is an illusory magic array, and you can only be considered to have succeeded if you defeat all the enemies.

This time, Chief Housekeeper did not hesitate at all. After reading out the rules, without waiting for anyone to refute, he waved his sleeve and threw everyone into the pavilion.

"All of you are so long-winded. Go in and have some fun!" With that, the Chief Housekeeper sat down with his eyes closed.

Shen Longxuan only felt a change in front of him as he suddenly appeared in a large battlefield. Not only was there the Demonic Beast, there was also the black-armoured humanoid organism.

Although these enemies were all illusions, every one of them were filled with killing intent. Upon seeing Shen Longxuan, they all seemed to have gone completely mad, and rushed over without a care for anything else.

He roared crazily, the weapons in his hands released a cold light, and smashed towards Shen Longxuan. Although this power was not earth-shaking, it was filled with iron blood and killing intent.

On the battlefield, no matter what method you use, as long as you can kill the enemy, you are qualified to be a warrior.

The attacks that seemed to cover the sky and cover the earth exploded forth, forming a depressing current of killing intent that gave birth to an endless sense of terror.

This was the fear of death!

This was the most brutal truth in the battlefield!

This was the pain and the choice every warrior had to go through!

Although Shen Longxuan's cultivation was not bad, facing such a ma.s.sive killing scene, his entire body s.h.i.+vered, and his comrades who were far away were killed by the enemy. Fresh blood splattered everywhere, and his soul wailed in pain, the entire battlefield was like a h.e.l.l.

On the battlefield, it was a test of a soldier's iron will. No matter how good your training was, you still had to go through a painful battle experience before you could become a qualified soldier.

In the midst of the killing intent that filled the sky, Shen Longxuan's blood boiled all over, his body s.h.i.+vered, but his heart remained calm. This was an illusionary world, he wanted to train his courage to kill all of the enemies here, even if he were to die from exhaustion, he would not be able to.

Thus, as long as there was no fear in his heart, he would be at the mercy of the light and shadows of the swords!

The moment Shen Longxuan made his decision, everything in front of him miraculously disappeared, and he heaved a sigh of relief, as he wiped away all the sweat on his body.

He looked around and saw that everyone else's faces were filled with pain and fear as their bodies trembled. Some of them even collapsed on the ground, looking extremely ugly in every possible way.

Shen Longxuan silently walked out of the pavilion, and the Great Clan Elder once again opened his eyes in praise. "Shen Family brat, you only used half an incense's time to defeat the fear in your heart, you're very amazing!

"It took me a whole incense stick to get out of there. It seems like you are a natural born warrior, perform well. Even if you don't get along with my lord, the Mayor will definitely value you highly."

"Thank you, Chief Housekeeper!" Shen Longxuan cupped his fists and said.

With his strength, he would not fear Chief Housekeeper at all, but he was sincerely teaching Shen Longxuan. This kind of person who did not bully the small should be respected.

Seeing that Shen Longxuan was so modest, he said: "Kid, I see that you aren't someone from the Golden Wheat City. You aren't here for the City Lord's daughter are you?"

"Haha, to be honest, Chief Housekeeper, I came here to help a friend!" Shen Longxuan spoke the truth.

The Chief Housekeeper nodded with an expression as though he had expected it. He guessed this because he didn't see any desire or greed in Shen Longxuan's eyes.

He had no desire, but he was strong!

However, he still added: "I think highly of you. Come on!"

At this time, a wild laugh came out from the pavilion. When Shen Longxuan saw Lin Xiao walking out of it, he said, "This time, I will definitely be the first. Shen Longxuan, you …"

When he saw Shen Longxuan standing beside Chief Housekeeper, his laughter suddenly stopped. His face flushed red from choking, and he took a long time to catch his breath, "How is this possible, Chief Housekeeper, how long has he been out for?"

"It's not long. I was just two hours earlier than you!"

Plop!

Lin Xiao, who had just regained his balance, fell to the ground again.

"Great Elder, this time he must have cheated. You should disqualify him from the compet.i.tion!" The good mood Lin Xiao had been in after successfully pa.s.sing the trial disappeared completely, as he roared in anger.

Chief Housekeeper snorted, "Lin Xiao, this old man has his own judgement, I do not need you to direct my actions. Tell me, how can I cheat?"

"Do... How to... I... You... "Alright!" Lin Xiao stuttered for a long time, but he still could not say what was going on, which put him in an awkward position. Finally, he said to Shen Longxuan: "Kid, I want to duel with you!"

"Duel with you? You are only at the ninth stage of the Martial Grandmaster Stage, even if there are two of you, you will still not be my match! "

What?

You are only at the Seventh Stage of Martial Grandmaster Stage, can't you two beat him?

"Hahaha, I'm really not afraid of wind flas.h.i.+ng my tongue. With your cultivation, it would be better if I could kill two with one slap …"

"Then it's over. Since you knew the result and challenged me, if I agreed to it, you would also be sick. I told you a long time ago to go see a doctor, you really are sick!"

"You … "Alright!"

Lin Xiao knew that he couldn't beat Shen Longxuan in a bickering match, and there was Chief Housekeeper protecting him, so he could only stay at the side and sulk.

After another four hours, everyone rushed out of the pavilion, but only two people qualified. The others were eliminated, and the people that were eliminated were extremely miserable.

It made everyone who saw it shudder, even Shen Longxuan felt pain all over his body.

"Alright, the rest of you, follow me. We'll go to the third trial!" Without showing the slightest mercy, Chief Housekeeper brought Shen Longxuan and the other two through the pavilion and into the martial arts arena.

There were Golden Wheat City's army stationed here, and not far away, there were groups of tall tents. The training grounds had a circ.u.mference of a hundred thousand meters, and groups of people were training there, the sound of battle shaking the sky.

There were even a few squads that were training their offensive formations. Dozens or even hundreds of people were working together to link up their energy to form a giant body that had the same effect as the body of nether ghost.

However, this type of array formation required everyone to work closely together and be commanded by the person with the highest cultivation base. It was extremely powerful and had a might that could shake the heavens.
