CHAPTER 1154: CHAPTER 1164: 5TH GUARD CAPTAIN!

The first round was over, and they quickly moved into the second round.

As the female officer spoke, everyone understood.

"The first round was just a preliminary selection, leaving only you 300 people. Now we can proceed to the next round!"

"And in this second round, you’ll face off against each other one-on-one, leaving only the top 10. Of course, that’s the standard quota. I’ve already notified the captains of the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Guards to come by. They’ll be watching your battles, and if someone doesn’t make the top ten but catches their eye, they can still join the Galactic Guard, so give it your all!"

"Alright, draw your numbers now. Number 1 against Number 300, Number 2 against Number 299, and so forth!"

As soon as the female officer finished speaking, the 300 people couldn’t help but exclaim. Only recruiting ten people, this Galactic Guard assessment was really too difficult.

Standing aside, Gao’an began to feel nervous upon hearing this: "I’m afraid I might not make it through this second round!"

"Why?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Because I’m not good at fighting, only strategy. I’ve learned many techniques, but can’t use them. I’m just that kind of bookworm in school!" Gao’an said self-mockingly.

"Have you learned a lot?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Yes!" Gao’an said. "But I can’t apply them!"

"That’s simple!" Tang Zhong said.

"How is it simple?" Gao’an asked.

"Just do what I tell you when the time comes," Tang Zhong said.

"Really?" Gao’an couldn’t believe it. Tang Zhong, a Meteorite Level Sixth Rank, had slain so many Iron Puppet Captains, so his own strength must be tremendous. If Tang Zhong were to guide him, it would be fantastic.

"Of course, let’s go draw our numbers," Tang Zhong replied.

Beside the female officer, a box with numbers appeared. People went up to draw slips of paper with numbers on them!

Many people had already gone up.

Tang Zhong went up too, and happened to run into Huang Zhongtian.

Huang Zhongtian, with a cold look, said, "Boy, I really underestimated you!"

Then he raised his number plate, which read 300: "You better not draw number 1, or I’ll make sure you regret it!"

"Oh, I’m sure I’ll draw number 1," Tang Zhong replied coldly.

Then Tang Zhong shoulder-checked Huang Zhongtian hard, causing Huang Zhongtian to stagger back.

"You just wait!" Huang Zhongtian shouted angrily.

At this time, Tang Zhong went over to the female officer.

The female officer recognized Tang Zhong and smiled, "Reach in here to draw."

"Okay!" Tang Zhong nodded.

He reached in, pulled out a slip of paper, and it showed 299!

With the female officer’s announcement,

someone in the crowd who drew number 2 looked very distressed: "Oh man, how did I get so unlucky to draw with such a formidable person, sigh!"

Everyone hoped to draw a weaker opponent and avoid the strong ones!

Tang Zhong came down, and Huang Zhongtian jeered again: "Kid, you’re lucky it’s not 1, otherwise I’d beat you to death!"

"Oh, I’m indeed lucky it’s not 1. If it were 1, you’d already be dead by my hand here," Tang Zhong responded similarly.

"You just wait!" Huang Zhongtian trembled with anger.

Everyone had drawn their numbers.

This meant the competition was about to start.

From the outside, several flying cars stopped.

Five people got out!

They were people from the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Guards!

As soon as they appeared, everyone looked toward them.

Everyone there hoped to join the Galactic Guard, and those five were standouts among the Galactic Guard.

"That... that’s Jin En from the Gold Guard!"

"And that’s Mu Qing from the Wood Guard!"

"Goodness, it’s the prince of the Fire Guard!"

"I know Shuiwei Huang* Xiang!"

"And there’s Liu Tian from the Earth Guard!"

Among the five, there were three men and two women, all full of heroic spirit!

Everyone cast envious glances at them.

Even the female officer from before welcomed these five people when she saw them.

"Welcome, captains!" the female officer said.

"Hmm!"

"The second round is about to begin. Please, captains, take your seats!" the female officer continued.

The same training field as before, but now the equipment was removed, leaving only an arena; beside it, a high platform with many chairs for watching the fights.

The five people ascended the platform.

Below, numerous people watched the five.

The female officer turned around, addressing everyone: "I believe you all know these five; they are the standouts among the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Guards. They’ll be overseeing your second-round assessment this time!"

Huang Zhongtian, seeing his brother Huang* Xiang, couldn’t help but smile slightly. His place in the Galactic Guard was almost a certainty.

Tang Zhong also sized up those people, realizing each one was a Stellar Level powerhouse, truly extraordinary!

Then his gaze fell on Huang* Xiang; he had enmity with Huang Zhongtian, so this Huang* Xiang might target him. Better to be cautious, he thought.

Once the five people were seated, the female officer prepared to announce the start.

Who knew that before she could speak, Huang* Xiang announced, "Hold on a moment!"

The female officer looked back at Huang* Xiang, "Does Captain Huang have something to say?"

"I heard there was someone in the first-round Galactic Guard assessment who killed over 80,000 Iron Puppet Captains. Who is it? Let us have a look!"

The other four captains’ eyes also brightened since such a thing had never happened before, and they were quite curious.

"There is such a person," the female officer nodded, then turned around to look at the crowd: "Tang Zhong, you can step out now!"

Without any hesitation, Tang Zhong stepped forward.

All eyes on the stage turned to Tang Zhong, looking him up and down.

Jin En in gold armor was the first to speak: "Is this the one who killed over 80,000 Iron Puppet Captains? But, how is he only Meteorite Level Sixth Rank!"

Others initially intended to poach him, but seeing Tang Zhong’s cultivation level, they hesitated.

"Could it be fake?" the red-armored Fire Prince asked.

"It can’t be fake. I’ve checked the detection robots many times. It’s all true!" the female officer replied.

"Alright then, let the competition begin!" the Fire Prince said.

"Okay!" the female officer nodded, then loudly announced: "Numbers 1 and 300, please come to the stage!"

Huang Zhongtian smiled and walked up the stage, and number 1 was a man who seemed much weaker in comparison to the sturdy Huang Zhongtian.

"Now, I announce, the battle begins!" the female officer declared.
