Soon, the test of conscience began. Su Mu observed Yang Dongqing with great interest. He remembered that several spies of the revolutionary army were caught in the last test of conscience. However, since Youying dared to let Yang Dongqing come this time, he must have understood the test of conscience and had a way to deal with it.
The fact was just as he expected. Yang Dongqing walked up to the examiner with an expressionless face and began to accept the test of conscience.
"Name."
"Yang Mo."
"Where are you from?"
"Star City."
"Are you a spy sent by another empire?"
"no."
"Have you ever joined any domestic reactionary organization, such as the Seven Deadly Sins or the Revolutionary Army?"
"No."
Yang Dongqing passed the test smoothly. In fact, the test of conscience was not difficult. As long as the big forces were well prepared in advance, they could pass it easily. This level was just a rough screening.
What really prevents spy invasion is the final contract. Even if you are a spy, you cannot pass on relevant information after signing the contract. Anyone who violates the contract will die.
Shadow sent Yang Dongqing to gather intelligence, but it was in vain as he was destined not to be able to obtain any intelligence from Yang Dongqing.
After the conscience test and grouping, it was time for the battle phase, which allowed the Nightmare Apostles to demonstrate their abilities and strengths.
But this time there was a small episode.
Yang Dongqing, who was assigned to area No. 3, had a hint of doubt in his eyes. He glanced at Su Mu standing outside the field with the corner of his eye, feeling puzzled.
Why wasn't he grouped? Was he eliminated?
Just as he was wondering, an examiner on the high platform suddenly stood up, trotted to Su Mu's side, and said respectfully: "Mr. Earl, please come on stage."
count!?
Yang Dongqing was stunned. Looking at that extremely familiar face, he felt so unfamiliar for the first time.
Sumu... Earl? He actually became a noble!
A hint of coldness flashed across Yang Dongqing's eyes. The nobles all deserved to die! Because of Jasmine, he, who already hated the nobles, now hated them to the point of hatred. He hated the nobles of the empire and the royal family. If it weren't for these people, Jasmine would not have died at all!
Su Mu walked slowly onto the platform under the gaze of everyone. His calm and elegant demeanor left no one in any doubt about his noble identity.
"Everyone, Lord Sumu is the newly promoted Earl of the Empire. He is also the captain who passed all the tests with the first place last time and formed the first team to explore the nightmare world and return!"
Hearing this, the coldness in Yang Dongqing's eyes faded a little. So that's how it is. Su Mu has actually become the captain, and he got the first place, so he was conferred the title of noble. No wonder he didn't have to take the test.
I didn't expect that after so much time, he actually caught up with me. I underestimated him. He is worthy of being my former friend. However, I will never lose to you this time. Jasmine is still waiting for me. If I can't even defeat the silver of the same level, how can I advance to gold, overthrow the Red Flame Empire, and seize the Supreme Heaven?
When he thought of this, Yang Dongqing clenched his fists, and a raging fighting spirit burned in his cold eyes.
He thought of the inhuman training he had undergone in the Revolutionary Army during this period, and the unforgettable pain in the mithril activation experiment. He had experienced too much hardship and pain along the way, but for Jasmine, he persisted. At the same time, it was this experience that made him so powerful now!
“Since the Earl has made significant contributions to the empire, and his team suffered a reduction in members during the last exploration, the royal family has granted the Earl priority in selecting team members from among you.
This is an opportunity for all of you. Once one of you is selected by the Earl, you can skip the remaining tests and directly join the Earl's team!"
Listening to the examiner's words, many people showed surprise on their faces and looked at Su Mu with fiery eyes. He was the first captain last time and was promoted to earl. He must be strong and experienced. If he could be selected directly, it would be a step to heaven. Maybe he could also become a nobleman with him.
Of course, there are also some unruly people who think they are powerful and are not moved at all, such as Yang Dongqing.
They think that they are the best at the silver level and are not inferior to others at all, so why should they join other teams?
"Okay, the battle begins." With the examiner's order, the battle between the Nightmare Apostles began.
Two silver-level nightmare apostles appeared first, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Su Mu watched with interest.
He has fought against both Gold Kings. Now looking back at the battle between the Silver Transcendents, it feels like watching kindergarten kids fighting. It doesn't look fierce, but rather somewhat funny and very interesting.
In the crowd, Yang Dongqing crossed his arms and watched coldly: "I didn't expect the quality of this batch of nightmare apostles is so poor."
He even felt it was a bit unbearable to watch. As a disciple of the revolutionary army leader Shadow, the warriors who usually helped him to teach him moves were basically those at the peak of silver level or half-step gold level, and sometimes even gold level. Having experience in fighting with gold level warriors, he naturally felt that the current battle was full of flaws.
After waiting for a long time, Yang Dongqing's name was finally called. His opponent was a Silver II Nightmare Apostle.
A tall woman holding two daggers leaped up and lightly stepped onto the arena. Her skirt fluttered in the wind, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she gave Yang Dongqing in the audience a charming smile.
"Come up, little brother."
Yang Dongqing walked towards the arena with an expressionless face, and stood opposite the woman with cold eyes as if he was looking at a dead person.
"Oh, little brother, your eyes are so scary. Don't be nervous. Sister won't hurt you. Although you are only Silver 1, sister will extend the fighting time a little longer. After all, sister still needs to fully demonstrate to Lord Earl."
As she spoke, the woman threw a coquettish glance at Su Mu on the stage, totally ignoring Yang Dongqing.
"So much nonsense." Yang Dongqing took a step forward, walking towards the woman step by step with his bare hands.
The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling a chill in her heart. Where did this young man come from, to be so arrogant?
She did not hold back at all and attacked immediately with lightning speed. The two daggers in her hands struck out like poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues, so fast that afterimages were left.
But Yang Dongqing turned a blind eye and let the dagger hit his chest.
Ding ding!
Accompanied by the sharp sound of metal clashing, two tiny sparks appeared on Yang Dongqing's chest.
The woman was stunned by the stiff body. Her eyes flashed with anger and she used all her strength. For a moment, she seemed to have turned into the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, attacking Yang Dongqing madly.
Ding ding ding!
Dense sparks continued to appear, and Yang Dongqing, with a cold expression, moved forward step by step, while the woman was forced to retreat step by step, with cold sweat on her face.
