Chapter 9 Hunter Assessment
Qingyun City occupies a huge area with a population of hundreds of thousands. The Martial Arts Hall is located in the center of the city. There are many venues and facilities for practicing martial arts, and they themselves occupy a large area.
If a warrior wants to make money, there are three professions that can bring in quick money, namely alchemist, caster and formation master. However, correspondingly, the amount of money spent on getting started with these professions is astronomical.
In addition to these three professions, if other warriors want to have a way out, there is another popular profession, hunter!
There are countless wild beasts and monsters in many deep mountains and swamps. These creatures are naturally powerful and blessed with special gifts. Some of the materials on them have their own uses and are of extraordinary value.
The hunter profession also emerged from this.
There is a hunter's guild in Qingyun City. If you want to become a junior hunter, the minimum requirement must be the fifth level of body refining. In the past, Luo Xiu's strength was too weak, so he never thought of embarking on this path.
But in order to improve his cultivation strength faster, the only way he could choose was to become a hunter.
Hunters can accept various tasks from the guild and receive rewards after completing them. The income of some powerful hunters is no worse than those of people in the three special professions.
The Hunters Guild is located in the downtown area, which is also the most lively and prosperous area in the entire Qingyun City. There is a sign of two crossed swords on the tall building.
Luo Xiu also came here for the first time. His thirteen-year-old face still looked a little immature. As soon as he appeared, he attracted a lot of attention.
"Haha, boy, look at your delicate skin and tender flesh. This is the Hunters Guild. Are you in the wrong place?"
A ninth-level martial arts disciple pointed at Luo Xiu and laughed. He had a badge with two crossed swords on his chest, which was a symbol of his identity as a hunter.
"I think he is a student from the Martial Palace. He wants to apply for a hunter badge. Then he can show off to other students."
"Hey, is it so easy to get the hunter badge? I think this kid will definitely fail, and maybe his life will be at stake!"
"Not necessarily. Maybe this kid can pass?"
"Zhu Laoba, do you want to make a bet?"
Luo Xiu ignored these people, but in this environment, he could feel the boldness, freedom, and ease of a martial arts practitioner.
Every hunter here lives a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, with a fierce and evil aura. However, Luo Xiu is not afraid, but is eager!
"Maybe I have a kind of paranoid passion and madness in my bones. Maybe this is the life I really want!" Luo Xiu clenched his fists and walked towards a counter in the hunter's hall.
The person who received Luo Xiu was a graceful woman with a professional smile on her face, but when she saw Luo Xiu's childish face, she couldn't help but be startled.
But she recovered quickly and said with a smile: "Little brother, how can I help you?"
"Hello, I want to apply to become a hunter." Luo Xiu said.
"What?" The beautiful receptionist was stunned again, "Little brother, are you sure you want to apply to become a hunter?"
Luo Xiu nodded without hesitation and added: "My name is Luo Xiu."
Jiang Shanshan said seriously: "Brother Luo Xiu, applying to be a hunter is no joke. For your personal safety, I hope you can think carefully before making a decision."
"I want to take the assessment." Luo Xiu ignored the advice of others and said firmly.
quiet!
The entire hunter's guild hall suddenly fell silent.
"Boy, don't you have a fever? Since a student at the seventh level of physical training in the Martial Hall intermediate class failed and died in the assessment three years ago, except for some students in the advanced class who are above the eighth level of physical training who can pass the assessment, don't you kid? clear?"
"Yes, Luo Xiu, you are still young, you can wait a few years before taking the assessment." The beautiful receptionist Jiang Shanshan also advised.
"As long as the conditions are met, there should be no reason for the guild to reject my assessment application, right?" Luo Xiu hesitated.
"Haha, the young man is quite stubborn, I like it!" A strong man named Zhou Long laughed, "If you pass the assessment, I will let you join my team!"
"It's a joke. Can a boy with no hair on his head pass the test? If he passes, I'll twist his head off and play it as a ball for him!" On the other side, a man with slightly beard said disdainfully.
"Zhou Long, do you dare to make this bet?" the bearded man said loudly.
"Damn it, Guo Huzi, what do you mean?" Zhou Long glared and shouted.
In Luo Xiu's perception of life's veins, the cultivation levels of Zhou Long and Guo Huzi should both be in the Qi Sea realm. He did not expect that these two people came into conflict because of their own assessment issues.
Under Luo Xiu's repeated insistence, Jiang Shanshan took out an application form for assessment.
Luo Xiu did not hesitate. He believed that he could pass the test with his own strength. Otherwise, if he could not pass this level of test, how could he enter a higher realm of martial arts in the future?
With a swipe of a pen, Luo Xiu signed his name, and then a receptionist from the Hunters Guild took Luo Xiu to the assessment venue.
"I bet this guy will fail the test!" In the hall, Guo Huzi slapped the table, yelled and glared at Zhou Long, saying, "Zhou Long, do you dare to bet?"
Both of them have a small team, and they usually dislike each other and often confront each other tit for tat.
There were so many people present, and seeing his old enemy Guo Huzi being so arrogant, Zhou Long became a little angry. He stood up and kicked the stool away, saying angrily: "I made a bet with you!"
"Young people are impulsive. Come with me."
The person who led Luo Xiu to the assessment site was an old man wearing a white robe.
Luo Xiu saw two badges on the old man's chest, one was a hunter's badge with crossed swords, and the other was a badge engraved with a six-pointed star array.
"Array Master Badge!"
Luo Xiu was slightly shocked. It was obvious that this old man's identity was not simple. He had a dual identity. He looked old, but in fact, his life veins contained strong vitality and dormant power.
Walking on the passage, with torches hanging on both sides, and pushing open a stone door, Luo Xiu followed the old man and came to a spacious room.
The floor of this room is engraved with some strange patterns, connected vertically and horizontally like ghostly symbols, and they don't seem to have any regularity.
In the center of the room, there is a raised stone platform, about two feet high.
Seeing Luo Xiu looking around, the old man in white robe said calmly: "The monsters will appear only after the formation is activated. The assessment for a first-level hunter is to kill three first-level monsters independently!"
Monsters are different from wild beasts. The lowest level of monsters can be as strong as a fifth-level human body-refining warrior.
But true strength still has to be demonstrated through combat. A warrior who is also at the fifth level of body refining and has no fighting experience is far from a match for monsters.
"Three-headed first-level monster? I should be able to do it!" Luo Xiu said.
The old man in white robe didn't say much, and pointed to the stone platform in the middle of the room, "You can just stand on it."
Luo Xiu nodded, walked over and stood on the stone platform.
"After I activate the formation, you will enter the environment formed inside the formation. Everything you encounter is basically the same as reality. If you feel that you can't hold on, it's best not to hold on. As soon as your thoughts move, three Within one breath, you can escape from the formation," the old man in white robe said.
Three breaths may seem short, but in a life-and-death fight, a lot can happen. Many people who were killed or injured during the assessment were also killed in this short period of time.
"Let's start!" Luo Xiu took a deep breath and adjusted his condition to the best.
