"Cultivation, Qi Gathering Realm Third Level!"
As Officer Huang's voice fell, the Apprentice Demon Eliminators in the field immediately erupted in commotion.
"So he's Gu Qingfeng?"
"I heard he only won the martial arts competition by relying on his spirit weapon and the mastery of Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt."
"Even with Qi Gathering Realm Third Level, he can be a Yellow-rank Demon Eliminator? I thought my Seventh Level was the lowest here, but I didn't expect..."
"Heh, that's because you didn't watch his matches. Despite being only Qi Gathering Realm Third Level, both Hu Banqing and Bai Maming, who were on the verge of Internal Qi Realm, were no match for him in one strike."
"Relying on external martial arts to defeat someone on the verge of Internal Qi Realm? Can he defeat a true Internal Qi Realm cultivator? Internal Qi Realm warriors possess internal qi, which is completely different from the Qi Gathering Realm. His fists can't break through their defenses, but can't internal qi penetrate his body?"
"Exactly. Besides, external martial arts are easy to learn but have a low ceiling. They can only be used to show off at lower levels of cultivation. Once the opponent's cultivation level rises, external martial artists become mere targets."
"In my opinion, Gu Qingfeng is definitely the weakest among them. Don't choose him. As the saying goes, 'A weak general can exhaust three armies.'"
Listening to the discussions around him, Gu Qingfeng thought to himself, a bunch of blind fools. After a night of hard training, I've already reached Qi Gathering Realm Fourth Level, but I'm keeping it low-key, not saying a word.
I'm playing the game of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. On the surface, I only appear to be Qi Gathering Realm Third Level, but in secret, I'm a Qi Gathering Realm Fourth Level powerhouse. Truly terrifying!
"Alright, quiet down," Officer Huang coldly reprimanded.
The crowd immediately quieted down, each putting on a serious expression, though their eyes were darting towards the Yellow-rank Demon Eliminators, calculating who to choose.
"You all know the procedure, so I won't repeat it. Each Yellow-rank Demon Eliminator can have up to five subordinates, with no minimum. Once you've chosen, stand in front of the corresponding Demon Eliminator and line up. Alright, begin."
As Officer Huang's command rang out, the Apprentice Demon Eliminators in the crowd immediately started moving.
Most of them had a unified target, rushing directly towards Cui Zimo, who was at Internal Qi Realm Third Level, fearing they might miss out.
In no time, a long line formed in front of Cui Zimo, counting up to more than ten people.
At this moment, Officer Huang spoke again.
"For teams that exceed the limit, the Yellow-rank Demon Eliminator can select five people on their own."
Cui Zimo coldly declared, "My team doesn't need trash. Anyone below Qi Gathering Realm Eighth Level, get out."
Upon hearing this, some of the ten-odd people showed joy, while others turned pale. Soon, several Apprentice Demon Eliminators at Qi Gathering Realm Seventh Level left the line, some heading to Li Shengnan and others to Wang Shu.
Seeing that there were still a few extra, Cui Zimo then eliminated a few more Apprentice Demon Eliminators at Qi Gathering Realm Eighth Level.
Thus, his team was the first to be fully staffed.
Gu Qingfeng, watching from the side, felt a surge of jealousy.
How could such a show-off be so popular?
Looking at his own front, where no one stood, he put on a mask of despair.
In fact, Gu Qingfeng could understand why Cui Zimo was popular. Although he was dark-skinned and foul-mouthed, his high cultivation level and youth were undeniable.
These Apprentice Demon Eliminators weren't fools. Seeing such a powerful young talent, they knew he had a bright future and naturally wanted to follow him.
Moreover, the demon-suppression missions that Demon Eliminators undertook were usually very dangerous. Having a powerful superior significantly increased safety.
After Cui Zimo's team was full, the other Apprentice Demon Eliminators' gazes began to wander between Wang Shu and Li Shengnan.
Undoubtedly, Li Shengnan was the most popular after Cui Zimo, as there were few women in the Demon Suppression Bureau, and even fewer who were beautiful.
Although Li Shengnan was dark, she was very pretty, had a good figure, and her cultivation was not bad, at Internal Qi Realm Second Level, making her popular.
"Should we choose Li Shengnan or Wang Shu?"
"Of course, Li Shengnan. Although she's a bit dark, those long legs are great. Besides, it's all the same in the dark, right? If we spend enough time together, maybe I'll turn the tables."
"Hehehe, exactly."
Two lecherous men whispered to each other and stood in front of Li Shengnan. Unexpectedly, Li Shengnan seemed to have exceptional hearing, immediately raising her eyebrows and shouting, "Get lost, you two. My team doesn't need lechers like you."
The two men were shocked and quickly scurried away.
Meanwhile, the amiable young man Wang Shu began to recruit people. He spoke softly and kindly, appearing very approachable, with a series of persuasive words.
He said that joining his team meant being brothers who shared the same pot of food, that he would protect everyone and ensure they were not harmed by demons during missions...
Many people were swayed by Wang Shu's words and stood in front of him.
Gu Qingfeng watched from the side, feeling a bit unhappy because no one stood in front of him.
Most importantly, there weren't many Apprentice Demon Eliminators, and with each Yellow-rank Demon Eliminator taking five, it meant some teams would be short-handed, or even empty...
Although he wasn't afraid of demons and could handle them on his own, having subordinates was a matter of face.
Who wouldn't want to go out with a retinue of underlings, shouting orders and feeling powerful?
After all, he had finally crossed over; couldn't he enjoy the feeling of being a boss?
Gu Qingfeng was a bit anxious but found some comfort when he saw Zhou Xiong beside him.
Because no one stood in front of Zhou Xiong either. Who would choose him when he looked dull and had a low cultivation of Internal Qi Realm First Level?
But soon, Gu Qingfeng couldn't sit still anymore. There were people in front of Zhou Xiong!
It was the two lecherous men who had been rejected by Li Shengnan. With low cultivation and unattractive looks, they were shunned by everyone and ended up in Zhou Xiong's team.
Zhou Xiong accepted them without hesitation, along with other rejected candidates from various teams.
Now, Gu Qingfeng was truly wearing a mask of despair. Just now, he counted that there were twenty-one Apprentice Demon Eliminators. If each Yellow-rank Demon Eliminator took five, it meant his team would only have one person.
And that one would be the worst of all, rejected by every group.
Immediately, his brain raced, trying to think of ways to recruit people.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, his eyes lighting up. He had an idea!
"Everyone, please listen to me!" Gu Qingfeng quickly spoke up.
