Chapter 16 - Lifting the Cauldron

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

He walked quickly forward to the side of the giant cauldron, stood with his feet astride, and hugged the giant cauldron tightly in his arms.

"Get up."

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

The giant cauldron slowly rose up and left the ground.

"Brother Changsheng, good job."

Fang Tao cheered loudly, his face full of excitement.

He also watched Lu Changsheng grow up step by step in martial arts training, and he was even more proud of him.

More than a month ago, I still used a wooden stick to assist in knocking every day, but I didn't expect Lu Changsheng to really become a warrior.

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.

Fang Qing on the side was even more shocked.

He and Lu Changsheng have known each other for more than 20 years. Doesn't she know what kind of person he is?

He is just a street urchin, stealing and walking around the streets every day, and he is not serious.

Unexpectedly, he has become a hidden dragon in just over a month. She couldn't help but wonder if she was dreaming, and pinched her tender cheeks.

Seeing the pain coming, she put down her hand, looking at Lu Changsheng's heroic figure, and suddenly a strange feeling surged in her heart.

A group of warriors around also looked at Fang Tao and the others with strange faces.

If there is no medicinal bath to cooperate, if you continue to practice like this, you will die sooner or later. The other party's family members are still cheering. It is true that the ignorant are fearless.

"Hah..."

At this moment, Lu Changsheng suddenly exerted force, lifted the giant tripod above his head, and stood it steadily in the air.

"Pass."

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

"Hum..."

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

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

He was very satisfied with his acting skills just now.

As long as he did not expose himself actively, no one would discover his true strength.

As a mature person, he certainly knew that when everything about himself was exposed to the outside world, it was the most dangerous moment.

Only by always hiding one's hand can you be able to fight against the enemy and cover the water.

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

Although there are divisions of stone skin, iron skin, and copper skin, the true life-and-death struggle cannot be known until it is fought.

A stone-skinned warrior may not be unable to kill an iron-skinned warrior.

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

As for the matter of probing the realm, it is nonsense. A warrior can only sense the degree of skin refining when his qi and blood are circulating.

In a life-and-death struggle between two sides, the one who survives is stronger.

The three specifications of giant tripods set up by the Demon Suppression Division can only make a preliminary judgment on the strength of a warrior.

And it is not only strength that determines the success or failure of a warrior.

After a while, Lu Changsheng returned to his original place.

"Practice martial arts well. Uncle Lu would be happy to see that you have made such a great progress today..."

Fang Qing's eyes were shining, and her palms pinched the hem of her skirt.

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

Lu Changsheng smiled.

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

She felt like he had grown up.

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

Fang Tao also said excitedly.

Seeing this, the neighbors on the side immediately surrounded him with flattering faces.

"Changsheng, you have really made it..."

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

They also saw the snobbish faces of these neighbors.

Lu Changsheng had a cold face and ignored everyone.

A group of neighbors smiled awkwardly and retreated.

At the same time, they regretted that they had completely cut off contact with the other party when he was in trouble, otherwise they would have benefited from it today.

As Lu Changsheng left the stage, the warriors behind him also went to challenge one after another.

All the challenges were completed in the afternoon.

Most of the warriors succeeded in the challenge, and only a few could not even lift the 800-jin giant tripod, which made people despise them.

These people who are lucky are also a minority.

Most warriors still have a clear understanding of themselves.

After all, this kind of assessment that has lasted for hundreds of years is no secret.

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

"All those who pass will become apprentice demon-suppressing envoys. Is there anyone who refuses?"

Gao Yunming glanced at everyone in the audience 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..."

"Thank you, senior."

Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands, with a respectful look on their faces.

At this time, another thin examiner smiled slightly.

"Dear colleagues, all apprentice demon-suppressing envoys must be registered under the name of yellow-level demon-suppressing envoys. Today, the three of us will come to select..."

After saying that, he looked at Gao Yunming again.

"Brother Gao, I will not be polite."

According to the usual practice, the three of them also took turns to select according to the contribution points. This time, Gao Yunming was still at the bottom.

Soon, the two examiners picked some potential seeds on the field into their own teams one by one, with smiles on their faces all the time.

In particular, several family disciples with strong blood and qi, such as Li Yunhua, were all accepted by the two.

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

They could barely lift the giant tripod weighing 1,200 kilograms.

Of course, we have to take into account this "oddball" Lu Changsheng.

Soon, Gao Yunming casually said,

"You will temporarily be under my command. Go to the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division to register now."

He did not pay much attention to these remaining warriors. It is

  hard to say how many people will be left after a year. Maybe not even one will be left. Naturally, he could not pay attention to them.

As for Lu Changsheng, he was completely ignored.

In his opinion, those who forcibly stimulate their potential and practice iron cloth shirt have almost no chance of surviving a year of assessment.

This year's career as an apprentice to the Demon Suppression Envoy is the last time for the other party.

Soon, Gao Yunming and others led a large group of warriors to the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division.

Lu Changsheng followed closely behind.

At the same time, he did not forget to instruct Fang Qing and her brother and sister.

"Wait for me here for a while."

Fang Qing and the other person nodded in agreement.

The Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division is located not far from the central square, at the intersection of a street on the west side.

The surroundings are quite clean and tidy, in sharp contrast to the dirtiness of the civilian area.

This is only the outer city, and the inner city must be more luxurious.

Although the county government and the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division are both in the outer city,

the core figures of both sides rest in the inner city at night and only go to the Yamen to work during the day.

Not long after, a group of people came to the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division in a mighty manner.

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

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

At this time, some warriors were going in and out in front of the door, quite anxious, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

The three demon-suppressing envoys led everyone directly into the government office.

Soon, they arrived at a desk in the side hall.

An old man with white hair and beard sat upright on a chair.

"Mr. Ji, this group of warriors are here."

Gao Yunming and the other two walked up quickly and bowed.

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

The old man shouted with full energy.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng and others immediately began to line up and formed a long queue.

As the warriors picked up the badges on the desk and left, they soon came to Lu Changsheng.

"Name?"

"Lu Changsheng."

"Age?"

"Twenty."

"Are your relatives still alive? You can only choose two people."

The old man asked the questions one by one, very concisely and clearly.

"Fang Qing and Fang Tao."

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and then reported the two names.

Of course he knew what the other party meant. As long as you join the Demon Suppression Division, even your relatives will be protected.

This is one of the reasons why many warriors are desperate to squeeze in.

Not only that, there will be a special courtyard, located not far from the Demon Suppression Division, which is very safe.

"Yes."

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

"This is an identity token. If you fail to be promoted within the one-year assessment period, you must return it and lose all your benefits..."

"Thank you for your advice, senior."

Lu Changsheng was very polite. He picked up the jade badge on the table and turned around and walked back.
