The sound of metal on metal was heard .
The straight-faced Asura changed his expression when the two weapons collided together . He quivered and fell one step backward .
As for the black figure, he was not dead as others had expected . He wasn’t even injured, he had merely fallen several steps backward as well . After regaining his balance, he immediately rushed away to battle other experts .
“This man… actually managed to take my blow?”
Asura paused and looked toward the black figure with a frown .
The onlookers outside the battlefield were all shocked .
“Who is that guy?”
“He managed to take Asura’s blow and wasn’t even injured . He just fell a few steps backward?”
“Go find out who he is,” someone ordered .
The commanders from the 36 prefectures immediately started investigating .

A moment later, an expert came up to the commander of the Blood Hades Prefecture and reported to him, “Commander, the man is Blood Mountain, a Divine Realm expert in our prefecture . ”
“Really? He is from our prefecture?”
The commander was startled at first but then showed a big smile . “Hah hah, it’s Blood Mountain from the Blood Hades Prefecture! Good Boy!”
“Blood Mountain from the Blood Hades Prefecture?”
“This Blood Mountain is indeed powerful . So far, he is the only one who has managed to take a strike from Asura without being killed . Given that, he is second only to Asura . ”
“Well, he really has something . He has hidden his power to make himself look normal all this time . Until he encountered Asura, without whom, we would not have learned of the boy’s power . ”
“We should have noticed him earlier . In this crazy battle, except for the extremely powerful experts like Asura, the rest have been busy fighting with others, always frustrated like drowned mice . However, this boy keeps his own pace and looks at ease all the time . ”
“Yeah, I can see it now that you’ve pointed it out . ”
The commanders chatted and laughed .
The black figure who had just taken Asura’s strike was none other than Jian Wushuang .

He had gone now to battle other experts, but he could not help glancing back at Asura .
“This man is powerful . Even I can’t defeat him unless I transform into an Ancient God,” Jian Wushuang thought to himself, “Now that we’ve fought, the onlookers must have figured out that I’ve been restraining my power . ”
Jian Wushuang shook his head and stopped pondering over it .
He wanted to avoid attracting too many eyes . He did not want to be spotted by the Xia Clan .
But he was not too worried . Aside from the selection of the Royal Guard, he had not participated in any other public activities, plus he had used an alias . The Xia Clan would not find him yet .
The wild battle had been going on for almost an hour, and the experts on the battlefield were becoming fewer and fewer .
When there were a thousand experts left in the Restriction, the beautiful lady’s voice echoed .
“Everybody stop fighting now!”
The voice resounded like thunder .
The experts stopped fighting when they heard the voice .

The Restriction covering the place slowly disappeared, and the remaining one thousand experts walked out of the battlefield .
Among them, a few appeared to be okay, but most looked embarrassed and were panting heavily, as if they almost could not have made it to the end .
Jian Wushuang was among the former .
“This man…”
Asura could not help looking toward Jian Wushuang with his arms crossed over his chest, furrowing his eyebrows slightly .
He was impressed by him, the only person who had managed to take his blow on the battlefield .
In view of this, he thought Jian Wushuang was extraordinarily powerful, almost at the same level as him .
“The one thousand people who have made it to the end can join the Royal Guard . As for the rest, you can return home now . ” The lady’s voice echoed again .
The experts who had failed felt bitter about their results, but there was nothing they could do about it .
Some of them could have passed the round, but due to bad luck, they had encountered more powerful opponents or been besieged and lost the battle .
The Royal Guard showed them no mercy .
To join the Royal Guard, one had to be powerful first, then, smart . Luck also counted .
Those who were powerful enough to join the Royal Guard but failed only had themselves to blame .
“Commanders, please give me the details on the experts from your prefectures who passed the test and take the failed men back . ” The lady looked at the commanders as she spoke .
The commanders exchanged looks before doing what they were told .
After they left, the campsite became cold and quiet .
The lady waved her hand and brought out several pieces of golden armor . Each piece had the Golden-dragon Mark on it .
The armor looked exactly the same as what the soldiers of the Royal Guard wore . In fact, there were two types of gold armor—inner armor and outer armor .
“From this moment on, you are members of the Royal Guard,” the lady said in an icy voice . “This is your armor . Whether you’re carrying on a mission outside or inside the camp, you must wear it at all times . This is a regulation . ”
“The armor is specially made and can protect you to some extent,” the lady continued . “You can change its size if you want . Now, each of you can come here to receive your armor . ”
The one thousand experts who had passed went over to receive their armor .
Jian Wushuang was no exception . When he received his armor, he found it was, in fact, a treasure and that he had to bind it before putting on it .
