“Junior Brother, what are you looking at here?” At this moment, in the resting area outside the square, Su Jin’er followed Mo Xiao’s gaze and looked up into the sky as she asked in confusion.

“I’m looking at the list of cleared candidates,” Mo Xiao said indifferently.

“What’s so interesting about it? Haven’t you already cleared it? Why are you worried that someone might be your match?” Su Jin’er asked with a smile.

“There’s always someone better. It’s hard to say,” Mo Xiao said, but his brows suddenly furrowed.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Mo Xiao’s sudden change in expression, she also looked over curiously.

On the screen not far away, 20 new names were now refreshed.

“Huh? Twenty clearance slots? When your group cleared it, there were only ten slots, right? They’re being so obvious about targeting you… they really don’t care,” Su Jin’er complained.

Mo Xiao heard this and shook his head slightly, “Targeting, conspiracy, I don’t care about such things. They can do whatever they want.

“What I’m mainly puzzled about is the first place,” Mo Xiao said with a strange expression.

“The first place?” Su Jiner heard this and instinctively looked at the list.

The clearance list not only displayed the names of the cleared candidates but also their survival times.

While everyone else had survival times of just over 10 to 20 minutes, the members of this group all had times below five minutes, with the first place having a time of five and a half minutes.

In other words, in just five and a half minutes, the first-place candidate had resolved the battles of all the others.

Or rather, within five minutes, everyone else had chosen to surrender or concede.

“Finishing the battle in five minutes…” Su Jin’er said thoughtfully.

She touched her chin as if pondering and said, “1 find it impossible for someone to be that skilled. Maybe it was pre-arranged by their group to let someone clear it?”

“Maybe…” Mo Xiao nodded and didn’t say anything. He quietly observed the assessment progress of the other participants.

Several hours later, in the City Lord’s Residence of Yanlong Base City.

“How’s the assessment today?” Chu Feng sat behind his desk, tapping it lightly and asked.

“Except for that person named Mo Xiao, everyone’s abilities were well within our expectations and easy to handle.”

Chu Feng nodded slightly. “What about Mo Xiao? Is he very strong?”

“I can only say… he’s ridiculously strong. His abilities are far beyond what someone his age should have,” his subordinate replied.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng frowned. “What do you mean? What level is he at?”

“We can’t detect it. He has a skill that resists detection, and his level is too high for us to determine even with tools,” his subordinate explained.

“Are you all trash? You can’t even handle such a small matter!” Chu Feng said unhappily, “What about Little Tian? How’s he doing?”

“Master performed steadily, his abilities are astonishing. With our assistance, he cleared all the enemies on the field in less than six minutes,” his subordinate reported.

When Chu Feng heard this, his brows relaxed a bit. “Then what do you think will happen if Little Tian encounters Mo Xiao with his strength?”

Hearing this, the assistant beside him was instantly stunned. After thinking for a moment, he said, “I can’t tell. Although Young Master is very strong, I feel that it’s still very difficult to defeat Mo Xiao steadily, so it’s best not to let the two of them meet.”

“…” Chu Feng was silent for a moment before nodding gently. Alright, let’s not discuss this.

“How are the preparations for tomorrow’s assessment?”

“We’re almost ready. The monsters have been arranged. There are a total of 270 elite monsters at level 35,” the assistant replied, flipping through his notes.

Chu Feng nodded again and narrowed his eyes slightly. “What level is the strongest monster in our hands?”

“Our most powerful monster is a level 60 boss.”

“A boss, huh? Good, let’s replace one of the monsters tomorrow and put in that level 60 boss,” Chu Feng grinned.

“What? Isn’t that a bit unfair, City Lord?” The assistant was surprised and quickly protested.

Chu Feng sneered, “What’s unfair about it? We can just say it was a mistake on our part. Besides, that kid is an orphan; no one will demand justice for him even if he dies.”

“But he seems to be close to the War God and the others. And Miss Su, at least,” the assistant quickly reminded him.

“Once he’s dead, the War God won’t have anything to do with him. Right now, he’s just a backup disciple for the War God. When he dies, it won’t matter anymore,” Chu Feng continued to grin. “You don’t need to worry about it. Just give this monster to Mo Xiao, and I’ll take care of the rest of the responsibilities.”

“But…”

“Shut up! I’m the City Lord!”

“Understood…”

At the same time, at Yao Shi’er’s residence.

“Master! How can you still sleep! The people from Yanlong Base City are bullying your disciple!” Su Jin’er complained.

Yao Shi’er sighed helplessly upon hearing this. “How have you been bullied? You’re the one bullying them, aren’t you?”

“I’m talking about Mo Xiao!” Su Jin’er continued. “Tomorrow’s assessment involves candidates directly facing monsters. What if they send an extremely terrifying monster against Mo Xiao?”

Yao Shi’er looked at Su Jin’er and said, “Didn’t you say that Mo Xiao’s combat abilities are incredibly strong?”

“What does that have to do with them playing dirty?” Su Jin’er protested.

“Since Mo Xiao’s strength is sufficient, even if he faces a terrifying monster, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Yao Shi’er smiled.

“But what if they…”

“Can you summon monsters at level 80 or 90?” Yao Shi’er interrupted Su Jin’er’s words.

“Well… no,” Su Jin’er admitted, shaking her head.

“Then, did you lie to me last time when you said Mo Xiao single-handedly defeated a level 80+ centaur?” Yao Shi’er asked with a sly smile.

“What did 1 say?” Su Jin’er was momentarily stunned, clearly having forgotten her previous statement.

“Of course, Mo Xiao single-handedly annihilated a level 80-plus troop,” Yao Shi’er said faintly.

“Of course, that was true!” Su Jin’er quickly clarified.

“Then that’s settled. Do you think Yanlong Base City can obtain creatures stronger than centaurs?” Yao Shi’er said sarcastically.

Su Jin’er scratched her head awkwardly and said, “Well, it seems unlikely…”

“Moreover, don’t forget that this kid is supposed to become the disciple of three War Gods simultaneously. If he can’t handle a little pressure, he should leave early. We don’t need such weak disciples,” Yao Shi’er concluded.

With that, Yao Shi’er stopped talking, leaving Su Jin’er alone in the room to sigh..
