At the main gate of the Qingyun Prefecture City, where the Sky Patrol Division is located.
When Lin Xuan arrived, quite a few people had already gathered there. Some were there to participate in the assessment, but many more were simply there to watch the spectacle. After all, it was the day of the Sky Patrol Guard's assessment, and everyone wanted to come and see.
Lin Xuan mingled in the crowd, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked around, subtly observing everyone.
Of course, his main target was those who were also going to take the assessment.
These people were clearly different from the onlookers. A closer look would reveal it; their expressions were either solemn or tense and excited. Unlike the onlookers, who all wore smiles and looked like they were just watching the show—it was obvious to anyone.
"As expected of the Sky Patrol Guard assessment, the people it attracts are truly exceptional!"
Lin Xuan calmly scanned his surroundings, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He had already activated his spiritual eyes to the fullest extent, and he muttered to himself, "The Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom truly lives up to its reputation as the core of the human race and the absolute overlord of this era. Its strength is simply incomparable to that of the other countries in the Eastern Wilderness."
He only glanced at them briefly, but he saw no less than a hundred Golden Immortals, and even several Taiyi Golden Immortals.
This level of skill is unparalleled, not only in the Eastern Wilderness, but even in later cosmic eras, when participating in the All-Heavens Peak Battle, no contestant was ever seen to possess the strength of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
He actually saw several of them. You should know that the people gathered here were just the geniuses from Qingyun Prefecture who came to participate in the assessment. In just one prefecture, there were actually young geniuses with the strength of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
If this were placed in a single state, or even the entire Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom, how many powerful figures would emerge, and would they appear among the younger generation at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?
Lin Xuan believed that this possibility was very high. In the later universe era, the Great Luo Golden Immortal was an absolute powerhouse, but in the ancient era, Lin Xuan had only been in the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom for a short time, and he had already heard countless names of Great Luo powerhouses.
The Great Luo Golden Immortals are like cabbages; it seems that only those at the late Great Luo stage or above are qualified to become a regional overlord.
This is far superior to the later cosmic era.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Xuan suspected that there must be a number of young people in the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom who had reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
"It seems I still have a long way to go."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, "But I'm lucky. I have the system, which gives me a head start, and my future achievements will definitely surpass most people. But that's not enough. The system is only one aspect; I also have to work hard myself, otherwise I'll have wasted this system..."
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Lin Xuan's mind, and his eyes shone brightly.
Thump...thump thump...
Suddenly, just as Lin Xuan was lost in thought, a deep bell tolled, its sound echoing throughout the entire Qingyun Prefecture. Instantly, everyone's expression turned solemn.
Some people excitedly exclaimed, "The bell is ringing! It looks like the assessment is about to begin!"
boom!
Perhaps to verify this person's words, before he had even finished speaking, a powerful pressure surged forth from the Sky Patrol Division's headquarters, instantly sweeping across the entire Qingyun Prefecture City. Everyone's expression changed, becoming increasingly solemn and respectful.
Just then, figures flew out like streaks of light from within the Sky Patrol Bureau's headquarters and stopped at the main gate.
There were eleven people in total, all dressed in moon-white robes, the exclusive attire of the Sky Patrol Guards.
However, the middle-aged man in the lead had two cloud patterns on the cuffs of his robe, suggesting he was a captain or something similar.
Unlike the Demon Suppression Division of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Eastern Wilderness, the positions of the Sky Patrol Division are very simple. Everyone is collectively called Sky Patrol Guards, and their ranks are determined by the cloud patterns on their cuffs.
One cloud pattern represents a Sky Patrol Guardian, two cloud patterns represent a Sky Patrol Guardian, and so on.
For example, among these eleven Sky Patrol Guards, apart from the leader who is a two-pattern Sky Patrol Guard, the others are all one-pattern. If Lin Xuan can pass the assessment, he will also be a one-pattern Sky Patrol Guard, and thus the largest number of members in the Sky Patrol Division.
"Everyone..."
Just as Lin Xuan was lost in thought, the two-patterned Sky Guardian spoke. After scanning everyone, he said in a deep voice, "The assessment will now begin. Those who possess the Sky Guardian Iron Token, please enter the Sky Guardian Bureau. As for the others, none of them are allowed to enter..."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a jade plate flew out, hovering in mid-air, emitting a dazzling light that covered the entire gate of the Sky Patrol Bureau.
"All examinees, line up and enter one by one, holding your Sky Patrol Iron Tokens..." the two-patterned Sky Patrol Guard said coldly.
Instantly!
The crowd stirred, and young men and women emerged, following the instructions of the Sky Patrol Guard, holding the Sky Patrol Iron Token, and passed through the gate into the Sky Patrol Office.
Lin Xuan followed the crowd and also took out the Sky Patrol Iron Token.
boom……
Suddenly, a loud bang erupted, and the jade plate above the gate suddenly burst forth with dazzling divine light, like a celestial river pouring down, piercing through space and shining on one of the young men dressed in brocade robes.
"ah……"
A scream rang out, and the next moment, the man in brocade robes was enveloped in divine light. His face twisted instantly, and a terrifying demonic aura appeared around him. His body cracked instantly, and the surging demonic aura rolled around. His body then expanded rapidly at an alarming speed.
In the blink of an eye, his body swelled to more than ten zhang in size, transforming into a terrifying demon.
"Damn it, you bastards of the Sky Patrol Division, you all deserve to die!"
A deep voice came from the demon's mouth, and a terrifying demonic aura surged, as if the space itself was being torn apart. A terrifying force erupted, and many people around were sent flying without even having the strength to resist.
"It's a demon race. How dare they try to infiltrate the Sky Patrol Division."
“Kill…beast, you dare to come to my human territory, you truly deserve to die.”
"This mere beast dares to come to Qingyun City. It seems it has no desire to live. Let's join forces and kill this wretch."
...
Enrage erupted all around, and surprisingly, no one seemed alarmed by the demon. Instead, their killing intent surged, and they unleashed powerful attacks, charging towards the demon. This was completely different from the Eastern Wilderness.
In the Eastern Wilderness, whether it's the Great Zhou Dynasty, other human kingdoms, or sects from beyond the realm, the first reaction upon seeing demons is tension and fear, or at the very least, apprehension.
The people of the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom, however, were completely different. Not only were they not afraid, but they even directly attacked the demons, shouting for their destruction. This was because, in the hearts of the people of the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom, demons were not invincible. Many even regarded demons and monsters as the same kind of creature, seeing them as beasts, no different from each other.
