At the entrance of the Monster Town, a group of aspiring warriors emerged from the town. Almost every one of them was covered in blood—perhaps the blood of monsters, or maybe their own. Some of the warriors were even being supported by their friends as they walked out.
“Beep, beep—”
A shrill sound echoed as several heavy-duty trucks rolled out of the town, each one piled high with monster corpses.
“Hey, these are the corpses of the aspirants. Someone come and collect them,” one of the trucks came to a stop nearby. Indeed, there were many corpses on the truck, some even incomplete, clearly devoured by monsters. The truck dumped the corpses directly onto the ground beside it.
“Ahh!”
“Gan!”
“Xiaoyin!”
Immediately, many of the already exited aspirants cried out in shock, some even rushing to the corpses and wailing uncontrollably.
“What are you crying for?” a stern voice of a military officer rang out, drawing angry glares from many aspirants. However, the officer’s icy gaze swept across the crowd, silencing them. “When you fight monsters, death is inevitable! You chose to walk the path of a warrior, so you must be ready to die! Why does human society grant warriors privileges? Not for you to enjoy comfort, but because you kill countless monsters and serve humanity. That is why you receive those privileges.”
“Your status, your power—everything you have must be earned through risking your life!”
“This trial was filled with the weakest monsters, and not even pack hunters. If you can’t even survive this, how do you expect to live in the wilderness later?” The officer’s words silenced everyone, as all the aspirants understood well the dangers posed by monsters.
Among the monsters, the most feared are the “pack hunters,” like the “Lion Mastiff” dogs, which always travel in packs of dozens. Even mid-level warrior-ranked humans dare not provoke them.
“Two monster left ears, next! Left arm injury.”
“Ly Fang? Hmm, three monster left ears. Good, next!”
Beside the town entrance, each exiting aspirant submitted the left ears of the monsters they had killed, as proof of their kills.
“Look, Luo Feng is coming out.”
“He’s the one recruited early by the Limit Dojo.”
“Wonder how many monsters he killed.”
“Having strong physical abilities doesn’t necessarily mean he’s good at monster hunting.”
In an instant, a large group of already exited aspirants turned their eyes toward Luo Feng, who had just walked out of the entrance. Luo Feng, Wando, and Maxiao were the three aspirants recruited early in this batch. Word had spread quickly, and nearly everyone in this group now knew of the three.
“Hmm?” As soon as he came out, Luo Feng found himself stared at by many aspirants, which made him slightly startled.
“Luo Feng, hand over the monster left ears you collected,” one of the three seated officers said. Two of the officers were using laptops, and one was looking at Luo Feng.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng nodded and took off his backpack. Instantly, the eyes of many surrounding aspirants focused entirely on Luo Feng’s backpack, curious about how many monsters he had killed.
“Clatter!” Luo Feng poured the contents of his bag directly into a metal basin beside him. A large pile of monster left ears tumbled out, filling the basin more than halfway.
“So many?”
“How many monsters did this guy kill?” The aspirants watching from a distance were greatly shocked.
At that moment, the officer in charge was counting the monster ears. After a while, he looked up at Luo Feng with a smile: “Luo Feng, good job. You have a total of 36 monster left ears. So far, you’re the one with the most kills in this batch. Also, no injuries.”
“Next!” The officer turned his head to the next person, and Luo Feng walked away with a smile.
“I’ve passed the warrior practical exam. I’m now a true warrior,” Luo Feng thought joyfully.
Luo Feng then stood among the crowd, watching the others come out and hand in their monster ears. Some had no injuries at all, but most had minor wounds that would heal in ten to fifteen days. Some aspirants were even severely injured or disabled.
“Yang Wu, okay, good. Three monster left ears, minor injury on the left arm. Next!”
Yang Wu also returned safely.
“Brother Yang!” Luo Feng called out from the crowd.
“Crazy guy!” Yang Wu laughed and ran over. “How did you do? How many monsters did you kill?”
“Thirty-six.”
Luo Feng and Yang Wu moved to a quiet corner.
“Thirty-six? Wow, you’re insane. Those monsters are really hard to kill,” Yang Wu widened his eyes. “Especially the Lion Mastiffs—they’re faster than me, and their strength is beyond comparison. Even monsters of the same level are much stronger than human warriors. I barely managed to kill three.”
Luo Feng smiled. H-rank monsters were indeed not to be underestimated. Even mid-level warrior-ranked humans would be in serious danger when facing seven or eight of them. Luo Feng himself had honed his movement techniques and relied heavily on his mental power to pull it off.
“Wan Dong!”
“It’s Wan Dong! The genius aspirant recruited early by the Thunder Dojo. Wonder how many monster left ears he collected. How does he compare to Luo Feng?”
“Yeah, the only one who could rival Luo Feng is Wan Dong.”
Murmurs spread through the crowd, causing Luo Feng and Yang Wu, who were standing at the back, to look up in surprise. Yang Wu was even more astonished: “Wan Dong only came out now? Crazy guy, Wan Dong is said to have physical abilities no lower than yours. I wonder how many monsters he killed this time.”
At that moment, the aspirants at the front were staring at Wan Dong’s backpack, while those at the back of the crowd were straining to hear.
“There are a lot of monster left ears.”
“Seems like a lot.”
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in front, followed by the officer’s voice: “Wan Dong, you have a total of 51 monster left ears. Haha, you’ve surpassed Luo Feng. You’re now the one with the most kills in this batch of aspirants.”
“Fifty-one?”
“He actually has more than Luo Feng?”
“This Wan Dong is indeed impressive. Fifty-one monsters. That’s terrifying.”
The aspirants, who had already experienced the power of monsters, were all amazed.
“Crazy guy, Wan Dong actually killed more than you,” Yang Wu said in awe.
“Does it matter how many you kill?” Luo Feng smiled indifferently. He had spent most of the night honing his movement techniques. If he had truly focused on killing the weakest H-rank monsters, with his abilities, ambushing isolated monsters, he could have easily killed over a hundred in one night.
“Luo Feng.” A voice called out.
Luo Feng turned and saw a bearded officer smiling: “Come with me. A friend wants to see you in the rest room ahead.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng was slightly puzzled.
To see him?
Without hesitation, Luo Feng followed the officer. Before entering the rest room, he took off his blood-stained combat suit, washed up, and changed into a fresh, clean outfit before stepping inside.
…
Inside the rest room, a tall, muscular man sat with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his gaze pierced Luo Feng like lightning.
“It’s him?” Luo Feng was surprised.
He recognized this man. It was the one who had spoken with Director Zhuge before. He was one of the four top leaders of the Thunder Dojo in Jiangnan Base City.
“My name is Wang Heng. I’m the director of the Thunder Grand Dojo,” the muscular man smiled. “Luo Feng, take a seat.”
Sitting face to face with this director?
Luo Feng was secretly startled.
He now clearly understood how high this director’s status was. A director of the Grand Dojo was comparable to a Super Warrior-ranked expert. They wielded tremendous power. In Jiangnan Base City, this muscular man before him was practically a man with unlimited influence.
“Why aren’t you sitting? Are you afraid I’ll eat you? Haha…” The muscular man laughed heartily.
Luo Feng smiled and sat down in front of the muscular man, asking with a smile: “Mr. Wang, may I ask what you want to see me for?”
“Very simple.”
The muscular man smiled. “I’ve looked into your background. You come from an ordinary family. Your father is a regular construction worker, and your mother is just a supermarket sales clerk. You didn’t have any advantages, yet you’ve reached this point at the age of eighteen. That’s truly remarkable.”
Luo Feng gave a complex smile. Indeed, he had worked hard for this moment for a long time.
“I truly admire you. I also believe you have great potential.”
“I now formally invite you, Luo Feng, to join my Thunder Dojo!” The muscular man looked at Luo Feng.
“But I’ve already signed a contract with the Limit Dojo,” Luo Feng shook his head and smiled.
The muscular man waved it off with a shake of his head: “A contract? Well, contracts can be broken! Just pay the penalty fee. According to the warrior regulations, the maximum penalty fee allowed cannot exceed three hundred million. I believe your value far exceeds that! We Thunder Dojo will cover your penalty fee!”
“And when you join, I will arrange for you to receive our Thunder Dojo’s Global Headquarters’ Special Training Contract!” The muscular man smiled. “Every year, around the world, fewer than ten warriors receive this special training contract. Each one is an absolute top-tier genius. It’s already been over half a year, and we’ve only issued three special training contracts this year—one to an advanced warrior-ranked genius from the European Union, aged only twenty. One to a genius from South America, a mentalist! The third is a mid-level warrior-ranked genius from our capital city, Jinghua Base, only sixteen years old. You will be the fourth!”
Luo Feng was greatly surprised.
These three individuals were all extremely impressive. Clearly, even the previously recruited ‘Wan Dong’ and ‘Ma Xiao’ had not qualified for this “Special Training Contract.”
Was he really qualified?
Actually, just Luo Feng’s physical strength alone wouldn’t qualify him for such a contract. But if you added one more thing—already having mastered the refined-level movement techniques—then it was enough for him to receive the special training contract. After all, it was almost unbelievable for someone only eighteen years old to have mastered refined-level movement techniques.
“Just join my Thunder Dojo, and I will give you this contract. I will send you to our Thunder Dojo’s Global Headquarters for training. You might even get personal guidance from the legendary ‘God of Thunder’ himself,” the muscular man said with a smile. “Luo Feng, the Thunder Dojo sincerely invites you. Join my Thunder Dojo!”
