At the entrance to Monster Town, one prospective warrior after another emerged from the town. Nearly every one of them was stained with blood, perhaps monster blood, or perhaps their own. Some prospective warriors were even being supported by their friends as they walked out.
“Beep, beep!”
A piercing sound rang out as one heavy truck after another drove out from the town. The trucks were piled high with monster corpses.
“Hey, these are the corpses of prospective warriors, someone come receive them.” One of the heavy trucks stopped nearby. There were indeed quite a few corpses lying on the truck, some of them even incomplete, clearly having been mostly eaten by monsters. The truck directly dumped the corpses of the prospective warriors onto the ground nearby.
“Ah!”
“A Gan!”
“Xiao Yin!”
At once, many prospective warriors who had already come out cried out in shock, some even throwing themselves onto the corpses and bursting into tears.
“What are you crying for?” A military officer’s cold, stern voice rang out, drawing angry stares from many prospective warriors. Yet the officer’s icy gaze swept across them all. “When fighting monsters, how can there be no deaths? Since you chose to walk the path of a warrior, then be prepared for death! Human society grants warriors privileges, but why? It is not for you to enjoy yourselves, but because you kill huge numbers of monsters and contribute to humanity. That is why you are given privileges.”
“Your status, your authority, everything must be earned by risking your lives!”
“The monsters arranged for this trial are already the weakest kind, and they are not even the group activity types. If you cannot even pass this trial, how do you expect to survive once you enter the wilderness regions?” The officer’s words silenced all the prospective warriors. Everyone knew quite a bit about monsters.
Among monsters, the most troublesome were the ‘group activity types’. For example, among canine monsters, the ‘Lion Mastiff Dogs’ always moved in groups of dozens. Even intermediate warrior level human fighters would not dare provoke them.
“Two monster left ears, next, left arm injured.”
“Lu Fang? Hmm, three monster left ears, not bad, next.”
Beside the town entrance, every prospective warrior who came out handed over the monster left ears they had obtained from hunting, as proof of the number of monsters they had killed.
“Look, Luo Feng is out.”
“That’s Luo Feng, the one recruited early by the Limit Hall.”
“I wonder how many monsters he killed.”
“Having strong physical ability does not necessarily mean being good at killing monsters.”
For a moment, the attention of a large number of prospective warriors who had already emerged focused on Luo Feng, who had just walked out from the entrance. Luo Feng, Wan Dong, and Ma Xiao were the three prospective warriors who had been recruited early in this batch. Word spread quickly, and nearly everyone in this group knew the three of them.
“Hm?” As soon as he came out and was stared at by so many prospective warriors, even Luo Feng was startled.
“Luo Feng, right? Hand over the monster left ears you hunted.” Three military officers sat ahead, two of them using laptops, while one officer looked at Luo Feng.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng nodded and removed the backpack from his back. Instantly, the eyes of the surrounding prospective warriors focused entirely on Luo Feng’s backpack. They were all curious about exactly how many monsters Luo Feng had killed.
“Crash!” Luo Feng directly emptied the contents of the bag. A large number of monster left ears fell into the metal container beside him, forming a small pile that filled more than half the container.
“So many?”
“How many monsters did this guy kill?” The prospective warriors watching from afar were greatly shocked.
Meanwhile, the examining officer counted the monster ears one by one. After a moment, the officer smiled at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, not bad. A total of 36 monster left ears. So far, you have temporarily killed the most monsters in this batch. Hmm, and you are not injured.”
“Next.” The officer turned to look at the next person, while Luo Feng smiled and walked away.
“The warrior combat examination is passed. I am finally a real warrior.” Luo Feng felt extremely pleased.
After that, Luo Feng stood among the crowd, watching the people who came out later hand over their monster left ears. Some of them were completely uninjured, though most had light injuries that would heal after ten days or half a month of rest. There were also severely injured and even crippled prospective warriors.
“Yang Wu, hmm, not bad, three monster left ears, light injury on the left arm. Next.”
Yang Wu had also returned safely.
“Brother Yang.” Luo Feng called out from the crowd.
“Madman.” Yang Wu laughed loudly as he ran over. “How did you do? How many monsters did you kill?”
“Thirty six.” Luo Feng and Yang Wu walked over to a corner.
“Thirty six? Damn, Madman, you are too monstrous. Those monsters were really hard to kill.” Yang Wu widened his eyes. “Especially those Tiger Mastiff Dogs, they were faster than me, and their strength was even more ridiculous! Monsters of the same level are generally far stronger than human warriors. I nearly risked my life just to kill three.”
Luo Feng smiled. H grade monsters truly could not be underestimated. Even an intermediate warrior level fighter facing seven or eight H grade monsters at once would be in great danger.
Luo Feng himself had only dared to train his movement technique like that because he relied on his spiritual force.
“Wan Dong!”
“It’s Wan Dong, the genius prospective warrior recruited early by the Thunder Hall. I wonder how many monster left ears he got. Compared with Luo Feng, who is stronger?”
“Yeah, the only one who can compare with Luo Feng is this Wan Dong.”
A burst of discussion came from ahead, causing Luo Feng and Yang Wu, who were standing at the back, to look up in surprise. Yang Wu exclaimed, “That Wan Dong only came out now as well? Madman, I heard his physical ability is no lower than yours. I wonder how many monsters he killed this time.”
At this moment, the prospective warriors at the front stared at Wan Dong’s backpack, while those at the back pricked up their ears to listen.
“There is a pile of monster left ears.”
“Seems like a lot.”
Suddenly, noisy chatter erupted from the front, followed by the examining officer’s voice.
“Wan Dong, hmm, a total of 51 monster left ears. Haha, you have now surpassed Luo Feng. Temporarily, you have killed the most monsters among this group of prospective warriors.”
“Fifty one?”
“He actually got so many more than Luo Feng?”
“This Wan Dong is really impressive. Fifty one monsters, terrifying.”
The prospective warriors who had personally experienced the monsters’ strength all marvelled in amazement.
“Madman, this Wan Dong actually got more than you.” Yang Wu sounded astonished.
“What is the point of killing more?” Luo Feng smiled indifferently. Last night, he had spent most of his energy training his movement technique. If he had truly wanted to kill the weakest H grade monsters, then with Luo Feng’s strength, he only needed to ambush isolated monsters. Killing over a hundred of the weakest monsters in a single night would not have been surprising.
“Luo Feng.” A voice called out.
Luo Feng turned to look and saw a bearded military officer smiling at him. “Come with me. A friend wants to meet you, in the lounge ahead.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng was somewhat puzzled.
Someone wanted to see him?
Luo Feng did not hesitate and directly followed the bearded officer over. Before entering the lounge, Luo Feng removed his bloodstained combat uniform, washed up, and changed into a clean set of clothes before stepping inside.
Inside the lounge, a burly man sat there with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he opened them, and his gaze shot towards Luo Feng like lightning.
“It’s him?” Luo Feng was shocked.
He recognised this person. It was the man who had previously spoken with Supervisor Zhuge, one of the four major figures of the Thunder Hall in Jiangnan Base City.
“My name is Wang Heng, supervisor of the Thunder Headquarters Hall.” The burly man smiled. “Luo Feng, sit.”
He was sitting opposite the supervisor himself?
Luo Feng was inwardly shocked.
By now, he fully understood how high the status of a headquarters supervisor was. One could say that a headquarters supervisor held a status comparable to a war god level fighter. They possessed astonishing authority. In Jiangnan Base City, the burly man before him could practically be described as all powerful.
“Why are you not sitting? Afraid I will eat you? Haha…” The burly man burst into laughter.
Luo Feng smiled and sat opposite the burly man. “Mr Wang, may I ask why you wanted to see me?”
“Very simple.”
The burly man smiled. “I investigated your family background. You come from an ordinary family. Your father is just a regular decoration worker, and your mother only works as a sales assistant in a supermarket. You had no good conditions, yet you still managed to reach this stage at only 18 years old. That is truly remarkable.”
A trace of complicated emotion appeared in Luo Feng’s smile. Indeed, he had worked far too long and too hard for everything he had today.
“I admire you greatly, and I believe you have tremendous potential.”
“I formally invite you, Luo Feng, to join my Thunder Hall!” The burly man looked at Luo Feng.
“I, I already signed a contract with the Limit Hall.” Luo Feng shook his head with a smile.
The burly man shook his head dismissively. “A contract? Since it is a contract, it can be broken. It is only a matter of paying compensation. According to warrior regulations, the maximum penalty is not allowed to exceed 300 million. I believe your value far exceeds that amount. Our Thunder Hall will pay the compensation for you!”
“Furthermore, after joining, I will arrange for you to receive a special elite training contract from the global headquarters of our Thunder Hall.” The burly man smiled. “Every year, no more than ten warriors in the entire world receive this special elite training contract. Every single one of them is an absolute top genius. More than half of this year has already passed, and our Thunder Hall has only issued three such contracts so far. One went to a senior warrior level fighter from the European Union who is only 20 years old. Another went to a genius from South America, a spiritual master! The third went to a 16 year old intermediate warrior level fighter from our Huaxia Nation’s capital, Jinghua Base City. You would be the fourth!”
Luo Feng could not help being greatly shocked.
Every one of those three people was monstrously talented. Clearly, although Wan Dong and Ma Xiao had been recruited early, they still were not qualified to receive this ‘special elite training contract’.
And he was qualified?
In truth, Luo Feng’s physical ability alone was not enough to qualify for such a contract. But if one added another factor, he had already comprehended the microscopic level movement technique. That alone was enough for Luo Feng to receive the special elite training contract. After all, for an 18 year old to comprehend the microscopic level movement technique was simply unbelievable.
“As long as you join my Thunder Hall, I will give you this contract. I will send you to the global headquarters of our Thunder Hall for training, and you may even have the chance to receive personal guidance from the legendary ‘Thunder God’ himself.” The burly man smiled. “Luo Feng, our Thunder Hall sincerely invites you. Join our Thunder Hall!”
