Su Ming's central position within the camp was precisely because he controlled the recruitment point of the Behemoth beasts. Eighteen Behemoth beasts were, at the current stage, virtually invincible, easily capable of conquering level five castles, let alone the highest level of castles the Examinees could control, which didn't surpass level three.
Over two days, Su Ming had seized control over eight or nine main cities, almost always as the main force, so the lion's share of combat achievements was his. During these two days, people continuously flattered Su Ming to get closer to him. He found nothing amiss at first, but now he suddenly realized that he might have revealed too much information about himself.
And now, others finally showed their fangs to him.
“Humph, so your real target was my Behemoth beasts…” Su Ming scoffed, as he stood up and walked outside. Even without these people, he was perfectly capable of eliminating the other camp's Examinees, although the casualties might be higher.
He had even thought of teaming up with Examinees from other camps to first eliminate all these fellows from the underground camp.
“Su Ming, you're nothing but a minor third-tier mercenary from the City of Sin. Are you truly unwilling to cooperate with us?” said an Examinee slowly and methodically.
Su Ming's body shook, and he stopped. He recognized this Examinee, who was the second son of a Viscount from the City of Sin named Jia Yiman. To Su Ming, this man was an influential figure who probably wouldn't even deign to look him in the eye under normal circumstances.
“Su Ming, think carefully. Even if you come out on top in this assessment, what's so great about that? You are merely a mercenary with second-tier Combat Power. Above you, there are those with third-tier Combat Power…” Another person sneered.
Su Ming glanced at him. Although the man wasn't from the City of Sin, he was a scion of a major family from the City of Holy Light, with business in many cities. His father was the family's business agent in the City of Sin, a person of high rank and great power, and at his father's side were two bodyguards with third-tier Combat Power. If not for the desire to enter the special Assessment World, he wouldn't have delayed his second-tier Combat Power assessment until now.
“Let's be honest here; almost everyone present is an influential and powerful figure. We offer you a chance right now–to become our friend. A mere favor from us could save you twenty years of hard work, at the very least keeping you from being a minor third-tier mercenary from the Mercenary Guild,” said a slightly overweight Examinee with a smile on his face.
“Damn, I've revealed too much about myself these past two days.” Su Ming inwardly regretted it to the extreme. However, the fact that some Examinees from the underground camp had recognized him wasn't actually strange; the Mercenary Guild rated its members with five levels, from one to five, and as a third-tier, he was counted among the elite, not as insignificant as others made it sound.
After pondering for a long while, Su Ming finally nodded slowly and said, “Fine, I can give you the Behemoth beasts, but you'll need to trade something in return. We will need to sign a contract, and at most, I can only sell ten Behemoth beasts…”
Seeing Su Ming relent, everyone laughed. This was the win-win situation they had in mind, quite unlike before when it seemed like they were just working for Su Ming.
One beast for you, two for me–buying up the Behemoth beasts that Su Ming provided. Each beast cost around five million doomsday coins, and Su Ming acquired assets worth about fifty million. Leaving the Assessment World, he could be considered one of the fairly well-off, no longer needing to toil daily, exposed to the wind and the sun, taking on missions from the Mercenary Guild to make a living.
Still, this forced trade left a bad taste in Su Ming's mouth, and his relationship with the others gradually grew colder.
The other underground camp Examinees didn't care about the feelings of a minor third-tier mercenary. With the Behemoth beasts in their possession and adding their original forces, they began to act on their own and rapidly spread to the surrounding camps.

At this moment, Song Jian had already conquered the seven or eight closest encampment strongholds, leaving only three main cities in the Tower Faction unconquered, while the Bastion Faction, bordering both Song Jian and the Undercity, was left with just one main city desperately holding on.
Three days passed quickly, and the examinees without a main city were kicked out one after another; now, probably only about one third to one fourth of the original examinees competing in the battle mode remained.
“Huh, aside from the Undercity Faction, the Elemental Faction has also occupied a considerable area!” Song Jian glanced at the map by chance and suddenly realized that, besides the Undercity Faction, the number of main cities occupied by the Elemental Faction was also rapidly increasing.
However, compared to the Undercity Faction, the Elemental Faction's rate of occupation was still somewhat slow, but it was several times faster than his one-man Human Faction.
Another two days passed, and four or five factions' examinees were completely driven out. In the only main city of Hell, the Devil's Castle, Prince Salar let out an angry roar. He almost forcefully rallied all the warriors from the examinees' hands into his own team.
But faced with more than a dozen Titans over six meters tall, wielding lightning staves capable of releasing lightning attacks from tens of meters away, his entire army couldn't withstand a single blow and was instantly turned to ashes by the lightning.
“Damn it, why does the Elemental Faction also have so many seventh-tier forces, why!” Prince Salar's eyes nearly turned red, feeling as if he had been abandoned by the entire world; he watched helplessly as the walls of his second-tier castle slowly crumbled under the bombardment of siege engines and lightning. The furious Prince Salar gathered all his strength and launched a suicidally fierce attack on the Titans.
Without the protection of the city walls, the soldiers recruited by Prince Salar died even faster, with about seven or eight out of ten dead before they even reached the Titans.
“Even if I fail, I will make you lose a Titan!” Prince Salar, with bloodshot eyes, stared at his few remaining troops as they charged into the midst of the Titans, frantically attacking one at the forefront.
However, to his surprise, after all his forces were entirely lost, they hadn't even managed to breach the armor of that Titan.
Prince Salar, in a mix of unwillingness, anger, and frustration, directly quit the assessment. His troops were too low-level to break the defense of the seventh-tier Titan, rendering everything he had done futile.
By the sixth day of the battle mode, on the entire battle map, only the Human Faction, Elemental Faction, and Undercity Faction remained, with less than twenty examinees left.
The Undercity Faction had conquered the largest area, followed closely by the Elemental Faction, while the Human Faction had taken only one tenth of the territory on the map, forming a tripartite stalemate.
“In this situation, it's impossible that they would still join forces to attack me, right?” Song Jian looked at the map and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
