"Only three people advanced? The ratio has shrunk again!"
Hearing this, Lu Yang looked innocent. Wasn't it said to be ten percent before? Why were there only three people now!
"Whether it shrinks or not is decided by the higher-ups. It has nothing to do with me!"
King Ling Que spread his hands and said.
He knew that someone from the Guo family was involved in this assessment, and Lu Yang was their key focus. After all, the country was not only dealing with King Ling Que this time. Their real target was King Feihu. Currently, in the entire Hua Guo special departments, only King Feihu was outstanding and the greatest enemy they faced. As for the Xuanwu King, who was hidden very deeply and had not appeared for many years, the Guo family seemed to not care at all.
Lu Yang was personally promoted by King Feihu, so the Guo family wanted to crush Lu Yang to weaken King Feihu's strength.
Of course, they were not very clear about Lu Yang's true identity. They only knew that Lu Yang was from the Lu family in Jiangbei. They could not connect Lu Yang with King Heilong, because the fact that Lu Yang was King Heilong was unknown to anyone except King Feihu, King Ling Que, and the Lu family of the New Country.
This was a top secret. Even Lu Yang's file could not be accessed by the Guo family head, let alone others.
"This time, no matter what methods are used, we must ensure that the kid called Lu Yang is kicked out of here. It would be best if he could be crippled, so we don't have to find someone to do it outside. After all, acting outside is easy to expose, but acting here can only be called accidental injury, which is easy to explain!"
A middle-aged man in his forties, with a goatee and a sinister expression, said.
Opposite him stood two men in special uniforms. They were the supervisors of this training ground, responsible for all matters of the training ground, and this assessment was handled by them.
"Don't worry, Director Zhao. We will definitely handle the matters you've assigned!"
One of the supervisors immediately said to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was from the Guo family, named Guo Shouren. He was also a powerful master. Since the Guo family was a martial arts family, they produced many experts. Especially the old ancestors of the country, who were unfathomable and formidable figures.
It was said that the ancestors of the country were still alive.
"Well, I'm relieved with you handling it, after all, you were all promoted by my father, so you are considered our Guo family!"
Guo Shouren smiled slightly.
"That's natural. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. We naturally cannot forget Old Guo's kindness in promoting us!"
Another supervisor immediately said.
These two supervisors, one named Ma Xiangqian and the other Wang Changming, were both very close to the Guo family. This was also one of the reasons for King Ling Que's concern.
Lu Yang's test this time was naturally fraught with danger. However, according to Lu Yang's current strength, he still had a chance of winning. As long as they didn't deliberately try to harm Lu Yang to death, there would be no major problem.
Of course, as the examiner, King Ling Que would not allow them to do anything too outrageous.
At nine o'clock in the morning, all fifty major generals had gathered in the open space of the training ground. All fifty of them were skilled in martial arts. Some were very powerful, even surpassing King Ling Que in strength, while others were ordinary. However, these were adjustments made to cater to certain family power distributions.
"All major generals, as the pillars of the country, please take this assessment seriously. As long as you can complete this assessment, your lives will be rewritten, and you will become true pillars of the country. Conversely, if you fail, you may have no room for advancement in the future. So, please give it your all!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. They did not expect this assessment to be so cruel.
"This assessment is divided into three rounds. In the first round, everyone will enter the mountain behind me. The top ten people who reach the mountain top will advance. In the second round, five out of ten people will advance. In the third round, the top three will be officially selected from the five people. These top three will be granted the rank of lieutenant general, and the rest will be sent back to start as ordinary people!"
"Do you see the mountain behind me? The mountain behind me is called the Mountain of Death. Due to the influence of the magnetic field, everyone's cultivation will be suppressed once they enter the mountain, and they will not be able to unleash it at all. They can only rely on physical martial arts combat. Therefore, I will give you one hour to prepare. After one hour, everyone will enter the Mountain of Death. The first person to reach the mountain top will be the winner of this assessment!"
Ma Xiangqian said coldly to everyone.
"Yes!"
Everyone replied in unison. They had already understood the rules from Ma Xiangqian. The rest was up to everyone's own abilities.
Of course, several of them were pre-arranged by the Guo family, specifically to be seeded players to win this competition.
"Lu Yang, without your cultivation, do you have confidence relying solely on martial arts?"
King Ling Que asked Lu Yang as he stepped forward, seeing Lu Yang looking relaxed.
He knew that Lu Yang had practiced martial arts for too short a time, and his martial arts skills might not have improved much. If this were the case, it would be a great disadvantage for Lu Yang. However, King Ling Que did not know that during Lu Yang's last visit to Yanjing, he had undergone a month of devilish training in Youdu Prison and had already mastered extremely powerful martial arts skills. Let alone these people, even the experts of the Guo family were not in Lu Yang's eyes.
"Don't worry, I don't put these people in my eyes!"
Lu Yang said confidently.
"I hope you are as powerful as you say!"
"This is a signal flare. If you encounter difficulties you cannot resolve, release the signal flare, and I will rush to rescue you immediately!"
King Ling Que gave Lu Yang a signal flare and said calmly.
"Thank you!"
"But I don't think I will need this thing!"
Lu Yang waved his hand, thanked him, and then refused King Ling Que's good intentions.
"Alright, suit yourself!"
Seeing Lu Yang refuse, King Ling Que was naturally a little annoyed, but he did not get angry. He then left. As for whether Lu Yang could pass the assessment, it was no longer his concern. He had done all he could. Since Lu Yang did not appreciate it, he would let Lu Yang fend for himself.
Ten o'clock arrived quickly. Everyone was fully prepared. As soon as Ma Xiangqian gave the order, everyone marched towards the Mountain of Death.
"As expected, as soon as I entered this mountain, I felt my entire cultivation disappear instantly. I couldn't even sense any spiritual energy. It's truly a magical mountain!"
Lu Yang felt that all his cultivation had been suppressed and stayed put. He smiled faintly and walked forward unhurriedly.
