"The test failed!"
Commander Huang said calmly, as if Li Dongyang's performance was completely within his expectations.
"Commander Huang, will there be any punishment for the test?"

Li Dongyang asked worriedly.
"There is no punishment. This test is only to select talents for the Imperial Army, and only a few newcomers can pass. However, even if they don't pass the test, as long as they stand guard in the mansion for three years, they can still get a Blood-gathering Pill!"
Commander Huang consoled him.
"Three years? As long as I can become an innate warrior, it doesn't matter even if I have ten years."
Li Dongyang wiped the sweat from his head and said with a smile.
"Let me try!"

At this time, Shen Wenfeng, who was standing by the side, walked into the yard with a serious look.
Looking at Shen Wenfeng's disappearing figure, Luo Yu and the others standing outside couldn't help but cheer him up.
Soon, the angry roar of the clouded leopard came from the yard. With Shen Wenfeng's shout, the sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground rang out wildly. Then, the sound of wild beasts biting could be heard.
When the door of the courtyard opened, Shen Wenfeng ran out with his arms crossed.

"I'm injured!"
It was a simple bandage. After taking a pill to stop bleeding, Shen Wenfeng looked at the courtyard in front of him with a lingering fear.
"Who's going to take the next test?"
Commander Huang asked loudly.
"Commander Huang, can I give up the test? They are ranked first and second respectively. I am ranked third, so I won't join in the fun!"
Zhao employed his self-knowledge and said.
"Sure!"
Commander Huang nodded in agreement.
Then, he asked Luo Yu.
"Luo Yu, do you also want to give up?"
This test was only used to select talents for the Imperial Guards. Although Luo Yu did not know what the Imperial Guards were up to, as long as they passed the test, they would be able to obtain a Blood Gathering Pill. This caused Luo Yu to be very tempted.
If he stayed in the Duke's manor for three years, he would also be able to obtain a Blood Gathering Pill. However, a man should be like a dragon and only competed with the heroes in the world! If he didn't give it a try in person and gave it up so easily, Luo Yu wouldn't be willing to give it up!
"Commander Huang, I want to take the test!"
With that said, Luo Yu removed the sword from his body. Although the sword was unusually sharp, because Luo Yu did not know any sword arts, carrying it on his body would only make him a burden.
Under everyone's gaze, Luo Yu walked carefully towards the courtyard step by step.
"Creak!"
Pushing the door open, Luo Yu smelled a strong smell of blood. There was a pool of blood on the ground. It must have been left by Shen Wenfeng just now!
Creak creak creak creak...
Stepping on the unknown tiny beast bones on the ground, Luo Yu continued to walk forward.
All of a sudden, Luo Yu saw a pair of red eyes staring at her in the depths of the yard. There was a fierce, cruel, and bloody look in their eyes.
Luo Yu had never seen what it looked like. Judging from the look in its eyes just now, Luo Yu felt that it was definitely not easy to deal with!
Whoosh... Whoosh...
With the sound of iron chains rubbing against each other, a black shadow with a height of half a man jumped out of the depths of the yard and stood silently in front of Luo Yu.
It was pitch-black. Its four legs were covered with white cloud patterns. Its four claws were like hooks and its eyes were blood red. The bulging muscles on its back were like hills. Luo Yu felt that it was stronger and more dangerous than the Red-eyed Tiger he killed!
Luo Yu took a deep breath, activated all of his qi and blood, and looked at the clouded leopard warily.
At this moment, the clouded leopard suddenly lay down slowly and crawled toward Luo Yu step by step.
Boo-hoo...
Just as it was about to crawl in front of Luo Yu, the clouded leopard suddenly let out a whimper. Then, it stuck out its blood-red tongue and carefully licked Luo Yu's shoes.
What... what is this Lieyun Bloody Leopard trying to do?
Luo Yu scratched her head in confusion.
Could this be its attack?
However, could licking shoes also be considered an attack?
After a while, the shoe on Luo Yu's foot was licked by the clouded leopard!
Hey! Are you addicted to licking?
Suddenly, Luo Yu realized that the clouded leopard was beginning to lick its other shoe!
"Beast Venerable! What the hell is going on?"
Luo Yu had no choice but to ask the Beast Venerable for advice.
"Although this clouded leopard is a second-grade demonic beast, it is a low-grade demonic beast. The second-grade demonic beast, the Paint-faced Spider you killed, is much stronger than it. Because you soaked your body with the spider's blood and felt its powerful momentum, it is showing its submission to you!"
The Beast Venerable explained.
"Surrender to me?"
Luo Yu thought about it carefully and did not see any hostility from the clouded leopard.
"You can reach out your hand, touch its back all the way to its head, and then scratch its ears to let it know your kindness."
The Beast Venerable gave him guidance again.
According to what he said, Luo Yu carefully reached out his hands and stroked the back of the clouded leopard for a while. Then, he went all the way up and touched its head. Finally, he stopped at its ears, bent his hands and scratched it gently.
"Haha! It seems that it likes me scratching its ears! Hahaha, it's so itchy..."
The clouded leopard stuck out its tongue and licked Luo Yu's palm.
...
Outside the courtyard, there was no sign of Luo Yu for a long time.
"Commander Huang, is something wrong with Luo Yu? Why is there no movement for a long time?"
"That's right! It's too quiet!"
"Hasn't Luo Yu been eaten by the clouded leopard?"
Zhao almond and the other two said worriedly.
"This... I'm afraid it won't be eaten! Isn't that Lieyun Bloody Leopard already tied to the iron chain?"
Commander Huang, who was calm, gradually became worried.
"It can't really be... an accident, can it?"
After waiting for a while, Commander Huang finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He kicked open the door and took the lead to rush into the yard.
"Luo... Luo Yu, what are you doing? Come down quickly!"
Commander Huang, who had been worried, was a little angry at the moment.
Good boy! We're worried about you outside, but you're riding a Lieyun Bloody Leopard for a ride inside!
"This... this Luo Yu is too fierce!"
"Is this the fierce-cloud blood leopard that scratched and injured me?"
"Wow! You deserve to be my great benefactor! How dare you treat the fierce-cloud blood leopard as a horse!"
The three of them couldn't help exclaiming when they saw the scene in front of them.
"Uh, I'm really sorry! Commander Huang, I'm coming down!"
Seeing that the Lieyun Bloody Leopard was about the same size as the horse, Luo Yu suddenly had the idea of riding it as a horse. Unexpectedly, the Lieyun Bloody Leopard was very cooperative, carrying Luo Yu in a circle in the yard.
"Black, get down! I'm coming down!"
Luo Yu clamped his legs, and the clouded leopard slowly bent down and firmly put Luo Yu down.
"Xiao Hei, lower your head. Don't move!"
Luo Yu stood on tiptoe and took off the beast token on its neck.
"This brat is actually able to tame the Fiery Cloud Blood Leopard to such an extent! Truly..."
Commander Huang shook his head and looked at Luo Yu speechlessly.
The reason why this Lieyun Bloody Leopard was locked up in this yard alone was that its temperament was too cruel, and almost no one was allowed to get close to it. Over the years, even if the newcomers who took the test could pass the test, they had to go through fierce battles. However, it had never been heard of that someone like Luo Yu, who took off the beast plate so easily!
Seeing that Luo Yu had taken off his beast token so easily, Zhao almond walked up to Commander Huang.
"Commander Huang, I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. Can you give me another chance to take the test?"
"Okay, you can try it now."
Commander Huang agreed immediately.
With a face full of joy, Zhao largely rushed to the clouded leopard. However, before he could get close to it, the leopard let out a roar and showed its fierce look again.
"I'd better not! Only Luo Yu can turn it into a kitten. I'd better stand guard and watch!"
Zhao went away as if he had run away.
Commander Huang waved his hand and called a guard from a distance. After a few simple words, he asked the guard to take Li Dongyang, Shen Wenfeng, and Zhao manifest away.
"Luo Yu, this is your reward for passing the test!"
As he spoke, Commander Huang poured out a Blood-gathering Pill from the jade bottle and handed it to Luo Yu.
"You can eat it when it's late at night and there's no one to disturb you!"
Commander Huang reminded him.
"Okay, I got it!"
Luo Yu carefully put away the Blood-gathering Pill.
"Finally, I'm going to become an innate warrior!"
Luo Yu suppressed the joy in his heart and followed Commander Huang to another magnificent house.
"Luo Yu, get in the car!"
After a while, Commander Huang and Luo Yu boarded a carriage.
"Let's go!"
The coachman raised his whip and drove Luo Yu and Commander Huang out of the mansion.
"Commander Huang, where are we going?"
After sitting down, Luo Yu asked Commander Huang.
"Get out of the city and send you to the Imperial Guards."
Commander Huang said in a deep voice.
"Get out of the city? Isn't the Imperial Army in the Duke's Mansion?"
Luo Yu was a little surprised.
"The Imperial Army was personally established by the Duke of mistake. The camp is located at the foot of Nanyin Mountain, fifty miles away from the mansion. Only the outstanding Imperial Guards are qualified to join the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army will take action when it comes to the affairs of the ordinary army."
Commander Huang explained.
Unconsciously, the carriage began to shake.
After staggering for two hours, the carriage finally stopped.
Getting out of the carriage, Luo Yu looked into the distance. There were rolling mountains, layers upon layers of lush trees, winding all the way to the distance. At the foot of the mountain, countless tents were built against the mountain like mushrooms.
"We're finally here!"
Commander Huang stretched and led Luo Yu inside.
Four guards stood at the gate of the camp.
"They are all warriors of the Innate Realm!"
Although Luo Yu knew that the Imperial Guards were extraordinary, he couldn't help but glance at them when he saw that even the guards were warriors of the Innate Realm.
After a few steps, a middle-aged man came over. The man was very tall, with a high nose and eagle eyes. He gave off an intimidating temperament.
"His name is Li Yongnian, the captain of the team of the seventh elite of the Imperial Army!"
Commander Huang introduced to Luo Yu.
The Imperial Guards were divided into nine teams with each team having the strength of the seventh level of Martial Arts!
The man named Li Yongnian glanced at Luo Yu with no emotion on his face.
"Captain Li, this is Luo Yu, a newcomer who just passed the test!"
Commander Huang pointed at Luo Yu and introduced him.
"Luo Yu joined the Imperial Army through the three trials!"
Commander Huang added.
