My Cultivation Starting from Archery

The formation centered around Wang Zhi started operating. With no obstructions, it resisted the cavalry's repeated charges without showing any signs of disorder.

After four charges, the cavalry gradually left the arena.

"That's it?"

Zhao Kang said incredulously, "It's over?"

"Don't let your guard down, maintain the formation and do not disperse!"

Xu Wencai, who was at the very heart of the formation, shouted loudly, "If anyone makes a mistake before the examiner announces the end, they will be dealt with by military law when we return!"

"Definitely, it can't be this simple."

Wang Zhi murmured to himself.

Having been in the Eight Camps for many years, he naturally knew the range of difficulty for these assessments.

Even though the specific methods of assessment changed every year, they wouldn't be this easy.

"Roar—"

Indeed.

Just as the last cavalryman left, sudden strange beastly roars echoed from all directions. Then, one after another, wild beasts like wolves, tigers, leopards, and jackals rushed out of the gates. Their sizes were much larger than normal, their eyes blood-red as if dripping with blood, their fangs as sharp as blades, dripping with thick saliva. It was unclear how long they had not eaten, but now, seeing fresh flesh, they crazily pounced towards the people in the center of the Martial Arts Arena.

In everyone's eyes, it was an unavoidable beast tide.

Most critical was that these ferocious beasts were too strange; their abnormal sizes and blood-red eyes were just like the demon beasts of legend!

"Could it be that they are all Exotic Beasts?"

Most people who had just arrived in Liangzhou had never heard the term Poisonous Beast.

The first thing that came to their minds was Exotic Beast. Any ferocious beast that turned into an Exotic Beast would have its combat power skyrocket. Such Exotic Beasts would terrify ordinary people to the point of urinating themselves.

Especially since the cavalry charges had given everyone the illusion that no one would be harmed, the huge contrast inevitably caused panic. Once panicked, blood would be seen, and when added together, the formation could easily collapse.

"They're just beasts, hold your ground and kill!"

Wang Zhi roared as he brandished his sword at the very front.

The flag officers responsible for command, waved their Array Flags skillfully, manipulating the formation to maximize the strategic advantage of the four-door containment formation. They split the more than four hundred wild beasts apart. Even though the number of people appeared similar to that of the Poisonous Beasts, they firmly trapped them as if their numbers were several times greater.

The power of these Poisonous Beasts was incredibly terrifying.

Especially a few Poisonous Beast-transformed tigers, whose strength could match that of a Martial Artist in the Bone Training Realm. They immediately flipped over several soldiers, but the formation, far from being disorderly, was quickly filled whenever there was a gap, airtight. Some soldiers, in order to avoid errors, even used their bodies to resist physically to buy an extra second or two for the formation to recover.

What intense battling will, it was merely an evaluation, yet they fought with the resolve of a life-and-death battle. It seemed everyone was unafraid of death, determined to maintain the formation for the greater good until the end.

[Sinking Formation Death Will] overlaying [How Can They Be Without Clothes], this beast tide hadn't even brought out the soldiers' full strength.

Beasts are ultimately just beasts, soon bewildered by shield after shield, followed by a sky-covering storm of spears and arrows. The Martial Arts Arena turned essentially into a slaughterhouse.

If it continued like this, it wouldn't be long before many Poisonous Beasts would be cleanly annihilated.

"Stop!"

Li Qianzong hurriedly sounded the gong, "Disperse the formation, we need to keep these Poisonous Beasts for the next part of the assessment, don't kill them all!"

"Boom—"

Several Deputy Generals in the Meridian Passage Realm emerged, completely driving the Poisonous Beasts from the arena.

In fact, they had been covertly watching all along, not allowing any soldier to die at the jaws of the Poisonous Beasts; at most, some were seriously injured and would intervene at critical moments to rescue.

Of course, their intervention meant potentially disturbing the formation.

But the group of men in front of them needed no such help. It was a sudden incident at first, a few were injured, and then the situation was quickly stabilized, passing the test beautifully.

"Truly worthy of the men who crossed the river together!"

Mr. Hou exclaimed, "Supervisor Sun, have you seen? Facing just an assessment, these men disregarded life and death as if they were on a real battlefield. If they really were on the field of battle, they would surely be invincible, far stronger than the Liangzhou Soldiers commanded by several Generals up front."

The assessment was currently more than halfway done.

Roughly forty percent of the people secured Class A ratings.

In reality, the difficulty of the beast tide wasn't great; it wouldn't truly slaughter the soldiers. As long as one could stabilize the four-door containment formation, passing was entirely doable.

But in many soldiers' minds, this was just an assessment and not a real battlefield. Even getting injured seemed unworthy, let alone sacrificing their lives, naturally leading to panic. Stay tuned with empire

Whether one could follow military commands as steadfast as a mountain, that was also a big test for the leaders commanding soldiers.

All three main examiners took note.

Commanding this formation was actually an old scholar in the very middle.

A scholar commanding a battle formation.

In the Eight Camps, there was currently only one Fang Qingyun.

This also implicitly showed that Chen Sansi's command ability over military tactics was supremely excellent.

"This Mr. Chen is truly capable,"

General Zhao couldn't help but admire, "It's just a pity that his talents are not enough, otherwise, he would also be a strong competitor for the position of True Inheritor."

"To become a Main General in the future would also be quite good."

Uncontested, the three main examiners gave a "Class A" assessment.

Injured soldiers, carried away to receive the best treatment.

The others left under command.

"Master."

Fang Qingyun approached the old man pushing a wooden wheel: "Did you see Lao Liu? These years he has indeed become much steadier. Falling to the Bone Training Realm and being a minor Thousand Captain in the county Household, yet managing to be down-to-earth is certainly not easy."
