“Brother Liu, you’re finally free now, right?”

Liu Xiao’s mouth twitched. Before he could answer, the other members of the reserve team turned around and said, ”

“No, all crows in the world are black! After you enter the reserve team, there is still this assessment, but the pen is bigger and heavier.”

The words of the reserve team member hit the teenager hard. Captain Cao turned his head, and the reserve team member who spoke earlier shrank his neck and didn’t dare to say another word.

Zhang Yi and song qingxiao took down the iron pens hanging on the cart. Song qingxiao had heard about the contents of the assessment before, so she was not surprised.

The iron pen was about one meter long and as thick as a wrist. The tip of the pen was made into the shape of a writing brush, but because it had been used for a long time, it was slightly worn out.

Some of the team members who had been taken advantage of by it were wailing. Liu Xiao knew that song Qing had just joined the team and had only participated in the assessment twice, so he explained carefully for her, ”

“This brush is made from fine quality meteoric iron. It doesn’t look big, but it’s actually very heavy, weighing 203 catties.” After he introduced the iron pen, he pointed at the stone material on the ground.

“The weight of the pen is not the most troublesome thing.” The members of the reserve team practiced martial arts all year round, and their strength far exceeded that of ordinary people. Although the brush was heavy, it was not impossible for the members who practiced all year round to lift it.

The reason why this kind of assessment often stumped a bunch of people was because of the stone wall.

it’s made of refined and pure green iron ore. It’s harder than the hardest green iron ore itself.

When he mentioned ‘green iron ore, the hardest ore among all ores’, he felt as if song Qing’s mouth curved up slightly, but when he looked again, he thought he was seeing things.

The hardness of these minerals was extraordinary after repeated purification, so it was difficult to leave a mark on them. So, only a few shallow marks were left on them. It was indeed like what Captain Ren had said, like a cat’s scratch marks.

Even Liu Xiao, who had improved his strength, was not confident that he could write a clear seal on it.

He looked at song qingxiao and comforted her, ”

“But don’t worry. Based on my experience, as long as I can leave a mark on it, I’ll pass the test.”

In addition, song qingxiao’s strength was undeniable. The assessment was just a process. Captain Cao was waiting for her to be included in the reserve team after the assessment.

As the two of them spoke, the assessment had already begun.

Captain Ren read the name of his team member. The person who was called had a bitter expression on his face. He took a step forward and took a deep breath. He carried the iron pen and stood in front of the huge rock, trembling. He gritted his teeth and rubbed the pen against the stone, drawing an ear-piercing ‘creak, creak’ sound.

After a long time, the stone material was still intact. There was no mark left on it, let alone a decent word.

After counting down, the man’s strength was exhausted, and he was sweating like rain. When the time was up, he put down his pen with a dispirited expression and retreated into the crowd. It was obvious that he had failed the assessment.

The second and third people also failed. Captain Ren frowned and noticed that Captain Cao was looking at song qingxiao from time to time.

It was obvious that in this year’s reserve team, other than song qingxiao, there was no one else that the captain of the reserve team was interested in.

This fact made Captain Ren extremely angry. In front of Captain Cao, he held back his anger and looked at his team member, who was holding the iron pen with trembling legs, and shouted, ”

“Didn’t you eat? Just this little strength? Where do you usually train? Keep your spirits up and write well!”

The team member almost cried out loud. Captain Cao laughed and said, ”

“Old Ren, I don’t think the team members you’re leading are good enough. Are you getting old and losing the ruthlessness you had back then?” He raised his chin and shouted, ”

if you can’t make it, you might as well retire early. With your years of experience, you might be able to get into the Research Institute and receive your pension!

As soon as he said these provocative words, Captain Ren was immediately furious.

“Shut up, or we’ll see who’s of retirement age.”

Seeing that the two captains were about to fight again, the two vice-captains complained and quickly came forward to persuade them. Captain Ren was still angry.

I don’t think you’re that great. The team members you’ve taught are just so-so. That… in order to anger Captain Cao, he even deliberately pouted.
