"Young people are impulsive, come with me."
The old man wearing a white robe took Luo Xiu to the assessment site.
Luo Xiu saw two badges on the old man's chest, one was a hunter's badge with two crossed swords, and the other was a badge engraved with a six pointed star formation.
"Master of Formation Badge!"
Luo Xiu was slightly surprised in his heart. Obviously, the identity of this old man was not simple. He had a dual identity, seemingly old, but in fact, the veins of his life contained strong vitality and hidden powerful power.
Walking along the passage, with torches hanging on both sides and a stone door pushed open, Luo Xiu followed the old man to a spacious room.
The floor of this room is interwoven with some strange patterns, connected vertically and horizontally like ghost symbols, looking without any pattern.
In the center of the room, there is a raised stone platform that is about two feet high.
Before Luo Xiu could ask, the old man in the white robe spoke up, "This is where the assessment is. If you don't pass the assessment, remember to pay the cost of starting the formation."
"Cost?" Luo Xiu's expression froze.
"Do you think the formation is opened casually? The assessment of a first level hunter requires a vitality stone. If you pass, the cost will be borne by the Hunter Guild. If you fail, you will have to pay the cost of a vitality stone," explained the old man in white robes.
Luoxiu has heard of Yuanqi Stone, which is a highly condensed mineral of heaven and earth's elemental energy. Martial artists can directly absorb the elemental energy inside for cultivation, and the effect is more significant than swallowing the thin elemental energy between heaven and earth.
"How much is one yuan of vitality stone?" Luo Xiu regretted not taking a good look at the contract given by the beauty reception earlier, so he didn't know that there was still a fee to pay.
"Five hundred taels of silver."
"Shh... so expensive!?" Luo Xiu was startled, and this money was undoubtedly astronomical for him.
The old man in the white robe looked up at Luo Xiu and smiled, "If you're not sure, you still have time to quit now."
The cost of five hundred taels of silver made Luo Xiu have to consider it, so he asked, "I want to know the specific assessment content."
"Dare to come over without even knowing what the assessment content is. What kind of place is the Hunter Guild for you, kid? How dare you act recklessly?"
The old man in the white robe immediately blew his beard and glared, "For the sake of your young age, I won't argue with you, old man. Go back and practice well."
Although the other party spoke rudely, Luo Xiu did not get angry, after all, he did have little knowledge about the assessment of hunters.
Just now in the hall, I learned some from those other hunters, as if they were going to fight a level one monster head-on, but where is the monster in this room?
Seeing Luo Xiu looking around, the old man in a white robe said calmly, "After activating the formation, the monster beasts will appear. The assessment for a first level hunter is to independently kill three first level monster beasts!"
Monsters are different from wild beasts. The lowest level monster has strength comparable to that of human body refining fifth level martial artists.
But true strength still needs to be presented through combat. Even martial artists who have five levels of body refining and no combat experience are far from opponents of monsters.
"Is it a level one monster with three heads? I should be able to!" Luo Xiu spoke up.
The old man in the white robe didn't say much and pointed to the stone platform in the middle of the room. "You can just stand on it," he said
Luo Xiu nodded and walked over to stand on the stone platform.
"After I activate the formation, you will enter the environment formed within the formation, and everything you encounter is basically no different from reality. If you feel that you can't hold on, it's best not to hold on. As long as you think about it, you can break free from the formation within three breaths." said the old man in the white robe.
Three breaths may seem brief, but in a life and death battle, many things can happen. Many people who have died or been injured during the assessment are also caused during this short period of time.
"Let's start!" Luo Xiu took a deep breath and adjusted his state to the best.
The old man in a white robe flipped his hand and took out a stone that emitted a faint white light, about the size of a palm. He walked to a depression in the formation pattern and placed the vitality stone inside.
"Buzz!"
A faint light shone on the array patterns on the floor of the room, and then all the brilliance converged towards the stone platform where Luo Xiu was located.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Xiu felt the situation before him constantly changing, the environment changing, and he appeared in a cage like chamber of secrecy.
"Roar!"
With a flash of white light, three ferocious monsters appeared more than ten meters away from him.
It has gray fur and crimson eyes, similar to wild wolves, but much larger in size. Its claws are sharp like knives, and its fangs sparkle with coldness.
"Iron backed demon wolf!"
Although Luo Xiu had never seen any demon beasts, he still had some knowledge from books, and from the characteristics, he could see the origin of this demon beast.
This low-level demon wolf is known as the Iron Back, which means their back bones are as hard as iron stones.
"No lifeline?"
Luo Xiu frowned as he gazed intently, only to find that the three Iron backed Demon Wolves had no vital veins in their bodies and were completely formed by the condensation of their elemental energy.
This is naturally due to the formation, which cannot perfectly transform real life.
Luo Xiu frowned because in this environment, he was unable to use his ability to damage the veins of life.
Facing the three iron backed demon wolves, Luo Xiu was not nervous, and even slightly excited.
He licked his lips and made a posture of about to attack, muttering to himself, "It doesn't matter if I'm restricted. Only then can I demonstrate my true strength!"
"Ow!"
At this moment, the three iron backed demon wolves had already rushed towards him, with a very fierce momentum.
Although the formation cannot deduce the complete life form, it can demonstrate the habits, attack methods, and other aspects of this monster.
"Well done!"
Luo Xiu's footsteps moved slightly, and Da Cheng's inch by inch body technique was almost instinctive, directly avoiding the attacks of the two iron backed demon wolves.
"Dragon Tiger Fist Fierce Tiger Style!" His hand movements did not stop, and his internal energy was infused into his fists, smashing towards the abdomen of the third demon wolf.
Monsters also know how to avoid their vital points during battles. This demon wolf suddenly crawled down, exposing its strongest defense back to Luo Xiu's attack.
"Bang bsp;" Bang! "
This demon wolf was directly thrown out by Luo Xiu with a punch, and then its body exploded into a white light in mid air.
Although known as the Iron Back with the strongest spinal defense, Luo Xiu's Dragon and Tiger Fist in the Great Perfection realm can be compared to the full force of the Seven fold Martial Arts Disciple in Body Refining. Coupled with the destructive power of the Death Qi, it can achieve a one punch kill.
However, Luo Xiu also felt uncomfortable. The strong rebound made his right fist's skull seem to have broken, causing immense pain.
At this moment, the other two Iron backed Demon Wolves rushed forward again fearlessly, with a bloody wind blowing in their faces.
"The vitality of life!"
The internal energy of the two extremes of life and death transforms its attributes within the body, and a strong vitality rushes towards the fist, repairing the veins of life and quickly healing broken bones.
As he unfolded his body movements, Luo Xiu easily avoided the attacks of the two Iron backed Demon Wolves.
"Tenglong style!"
The internal qi is transformed into two streams in the body, one is transformed into the qi of life to repair the veins of life, and the other is transformed into the qi of death to use martial arts to kill enemies.
"Boom!"
Another iron backed demon wolf shattered into white light, and its head was punched by Luo Xiu.
"The first level monster is just like that." Luo Xiu squinted his eyes and stared at the last remaining demon wolf, his mouth curved slightly, and he muttered to himself, "It can be used to hone my step by step body technique."
The Iron backed Demon Wolf pounced, but this time Luo Xiu did not forcefully kill him. Instead, he carried his hands behind his back and used his every step body technique to evade the attack of the Demon Wolf.
The attack of the demon wolf is fast, with continuous attacks, bites, and claws, with almost no pause in frequency.
But Luo Xiu's movements were faster. After half an hour, the Iron backed Demon Wolf couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
"It's really boring. It seems that if I want to continue improving my body skills, this level of training alone is not enough."
Exercising body methods for half an hour, although more effective than simply practicing with wooden stakes, is not very obvious and has made little progress.
"Bang!"
With a heavy punch, the Iron backed Demon Wolf had just pounced and had no time to react. Its hard skull was shattered by Luo Xiu's punch, and the Demon Wolf disappeared, turning into white light scattered around.
"Get out!"
After passing the assessment, Luo Xiu spoke up to the surroundings.
The surroundings began to change, and after three breaths, Luo Xiu withdrew from the formation and remained standing on the stone platform, seemingly never moving.
As soon as Luo Xiu came out, he saw the old man in a white robe who had brought him for assessment. He saw the other person looking at him with a surprised expression.
"Good kid, I took a glance at you, old man. Your strength is comparable to the seventh level of physical training." The old man in the white robe said, "The formation here was arranged by him, so he can see all the experiences of Luo Xiu in the formation environment.".
Luo Xiu scratched his head with some embarrassment, unsure of what to say.
"But don't be arrogant or complacent, young man. Even in this Qingyun City, even in the entire Yunlong County, practicing the five levels of physical fitness is not a big deal. You still have a long way to go," the old man in the white robe said with a smile.
"Remember the teachings of your predecessors," Luo Xiu said.
"Alright, you can go to the hall to collect the Hunter's badge." The old man in white signed a name on Luo Xiu's application assessment and handed the application form to Luo Xiu.
"Zhuang Nantian..." Luo Xiu saw the signature on it and knew it must be the name of the old man in a white robe.
"Half an hour has passed, it seems that the kid must have failed the assessment!"
"Haha, maybe he's already dead inside."
"Even if you're not dead, having a broken arm or missing leg is still common in assessments."
In the hall, people and horses were facing each other, and the people on Guo Hu's side all had a determined expression.
On the other hand, the people on Zhou Long's side had a gloomy expression on their faces. They had just decided to take Luo Xiu's application for assessment as a gamble, and the bet on both sides was a full 1000 taels of silver!
A thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for a martial artist in the Qi Sea realm. It takes ten and a half days and a month of hard work to earn it.
But what matters most to Zhou Long is not silver, but face. Among the hunters in Qingyun City, he is also a somewhat famous figure.
"Guo Hu, don't be complacent either. If you really pass the assessment, I see where else your dog face can go!" Zhou Long snorted.
"I still said that, if he really can pass, I'll turn my head off and kick him as a ball!" Guo Beard roared without showing any weakness.
"Here we go, here we go!"
At this moment, someone reached out and pointed to the passage leading to the assessment area. Everyone followed the sound and saw Luo Xiu walking towards the counter with the application form in his hand.
"Pop!"
In front of everyone's eyes, Luo Xiu walked to the counter, clapped the application form in his palm, and stared at Jiang Shanshan with a smile.
"Little brother, you didn't seem to have suffered any injuries from your appearance. Did you just give up and didn't participate in the assessment?" Jiang Shanshan looked at Luo Xiu and said with a smile.
"I said beautiful woman, what if I pass the assessment?" Luo Xiu also smiled. In fact, he knew that Jiang Shanshan had advised him before for his own good. He just thought that this woman was quite interesting, perhaps due to the influence of the atmosphere in the Hunter Guild Hall, his personality also relaxed a lot.
The people and horses on both sides of Zhou Long and Guo Hu were also paying attention to the movements here, and were eager to know the final outcome.
Jiang Shanshan gave Luo Xiu a white eye, pointed her fingers at her vermilion lips, and smiled, saying, "Little brother, it's not my sister who said you. The chance of a fifth level martial arts disciple passing the assessment is less than 10%. If you can really pass the assessment, how about I chase you back, sister?"
"Puff!"
Many drinkers in the hall were stunned when they heard this sentence and spewed it out.
"Damn it, why didn't I have such good luck to let Shanshan beauty chase me back!"
"It's unreasonable. Does Shanshan really like this kid, like younger ones?"
"Damn it, I curse this kid for not passing the assessment!"
The people in the hall also followed suit and said, "Kid, hurry up, have you ever passed?"
Luo Xiu chuckled and took his palm away from the application form. "Beauty, remember what you just said," he said
Everyone's gaze fell on the application form in unison, with two eye-catching "passes" that made the entire hall quiet and the needles could be heard.
