"Today, you are going to prove your worth and earn the title of Hunters. To uphold human honor and claim realms, ascending noble status as humanity's hero"
Instinct paused for a moment, letting the words sink in.
Xue Fang was mostly concerned with the Supernatural race used as guards and the main goal, is it a Baron-level one that could be faced with someone of his caliber? Or would he have to hide till he reached the main goal or even stick with powerful groups that would guarantee his survival?
Everyone listened attentively as the information would be of crucial advantage and the place was as silent as a graveyard with only Instinct's voice echoing off the distance.
"In this Tomb of Kings, it is best to know the type of Supernaturals used as guards, fortunately, it is only one race, the stone monsters.
They are a race with stone bodies, they target emotional state, sensing fear, hence you must never show fear, but only confidence"
"But... If I'm to say, only a few people would survive in this tomb, however, if all of you could cooperate, you could all change your fate for good. And, as for the main goal at the farthest reach, you will know when you get there"
Instinct looked around at the entrants, perhaps he was trying to see if anyone would drop out at that time but it seemed everyone had already steeled themselves.
"Now, start!!"
Murmur broke out as some went to others, gathering and planning, these were those who had already planned to group together even before the arrival of the proctor.
Xue Fang's gaze fell on the mischievous girl as she went toward some bunch that had already grouped together.
"Hello there"
The girl first greeted nicely and the group whose backs were to her turned to look. Seeing her, almost the group of twelve had a look of disapproval almost immediately their eyes landed on her.
She then tried her best to smile nicely.
"I'm Rong Xia. What do you say? Should we form a group together? It seemed forming a formidable group is the priority of everyone here"
She leaned closely towards a girl who looked mature and who one would have guessed to be the group leader,
In Xue Fang's mind, Rong Xia exuded a playful demeanor so he found it hard to believe that they would accept her into their group, it was like this exam was nothing in her view, however, most of the entrants here either had it in mind to become a prominent hunter or military student in the society so that they could uphold their family honor.
So with this attitude of hers, the girls in the group looked quite surprised with expressions of disapproval written all over their faces.
One of them was the first to speak up,
"We should form a group together with you? Don't make us laugh, how ridiculous! Who knows if you would be the one that would get us all killed" Saying the last sentence, her voice became slightly shaky.
In defense, Rong Xia spoke up, walking towards the particular girl who had opposed her.
"Get you killed? Don't be ridiculous!" She laughed loudly for a moment that Xue Fang thought the laughter resembled that of a witch.
"You bitch!!"
The girl's face was purple with rage.
"You look like the first to get spooked, look at how you are cowering"
Rong Xia brought out something, it was the same needle she was using to sew before the proctor arrived, she then held it up, its tip glinting sharply in front of Rong Xia's mischievous face.
The girl gnashed her teeth in fury.
"You are the one to talk! I believe the first dangerous thing here is this bitch, even more dangerous than the stone monsters used as guards in this fucking tomb" her finger pointing accusation at Rong Xia.
The indifferent guy was still sitting on the raised platform encircling the tomb, Xue Fang then noticed as he stood and passed the group by, entering the Tomb of Kings like a prince entering his father's castle, his look of confidence even made some group of boys' faces contorted in slight disgust.
"What is with him? I was still thinking of sending Fatty Zhu to recruit him into our group, it seemed his overconfidence had gotten the better of him that he would walk into the shadow of death without any powerful accompany"
"Fatty Zhu? Who is Fatty Zhu?"
One boy asked among the group of boys, he looked fat such that even his top was unable to fully cover his big belly, showcasing his navel.
Everyone turned to him, shaking their heads pitifully.
Even after awakening the Soul Will and the body had been enhanced to a certain level, the body appearance would still remain unchanged in some people although they may be strong enough to punch holes through mountains.
However, some supernatural species of plants could be used by agricultural and medicine companies to create pills used to cultivate a refined physique.
"It seems I'm not welcome here," Rong Xia said, she turned and her gaze met Xue Fang's gaze. She then smiled cheekily at him, matching into the tomb thereafter, her footsteps echoing off the distance in the building.
'Even in a formidable group, a single coward among them could get them killed given the nature of the stone monsters, they feed on fear'
Xue Fang scanned the group with his appraisal skill, the highest enhancement level he found was 15, some group enhancement levels were quite low which even made Xue Fang feel sorry for them, and that was those of the boys.
'Who am I to feel sorry for them, I have no group to stick with and even no level of body enhancement, I think my situation is the worst here'
He concluded.
Without wasting much time, Xue Fang also entered, who knows if the goal was some limited stuff and those who failed to reach it wouldn't get the license even if they survived the tomb, after all, this exam wasn't the official one done every two years.
