Chapter 13: Chapter 13: The Assessment Begins
"Brother Yang, shall we team up?"
After just entering Monster Town, Bai Yang, who had passed the assessment as a Provisional Warrior, unexpectedly found Yang Wu.
In Monster Town, it was forbidden for Provisional Warriors to kill each other, but it wasn't forbidden for them to help and cooperate with each other. After all, even in the real Wilderness Zone, most warriors traveled in teams.
Bai Yang originally wanted to team up with Luo Feng, but he had already heard about Luo Feng being recruited early by the Extreme Martial Hall. Knowing his chances were slim, he directly found Yang Wu instead, increasing their chances of passing the assessment by cooperating.
"Brother Bai, I plan to go alone for this assessment," Yang Wu rejected Bai Yang's suggestion and then said, "If you can't find a partner, I can introduce you to a few."
This time, there were quite a few friends of Yang Wu participating in the Provisional Warrior assessment. Although they weren't particularly close, teaming up would benefit both parties, so no one would refuse.
"No need, Yang Ge," Bai Yang shook his head and said, "I'll find someone on my own."
Bai Yang knew more Provisional Warriors than just Luo Feng and Yang Wu. He just felt a connection with the three of them after passing the assessment together. Seeing that Yang Wu didn't want to team up with anyone, Bai Yang naturally wouldn't continue to insist.
"Alright." Yang Wu bumped his fist against Bai Yang's. "Brother, let's both pass the assessment alive!"
"Agreed, let's both pass the assessment alive!" Bai Yang smiled in response.
Then, Bai Yang went to find other Provisional Warriors he knew.
Meanwhile, Yang Wu, after rejecting a few invitations, wandered alone through the alleys of the town.
Night fell, and on the outskirts of the town, large searchlights illuminated the four corners of the town. However, many areas in the town remained shrouded in darkness.
"All the monsters in this town are just the lowest-level Soldier-Beast grade monsters. They pose no threat to me at all."
Yang Wu, holding his War breaker Spear, walked slowly through the alley. Although Yang Wu was confident in his own strength, the various combat experiences he gained from the simulator still made him cautious.
Just then, a dark shadow suddenly darted out from the shadowy area next to Yang Wu.
The shadow moved at an incredible speed, revealing itself to be a Shadow Cat, about half a meter in length.
The gray fur on the Shadow Cat's body bristled, and the spikes on its claws gleamed with a cold light.
Swish! The Shadow Cat, just released from its cage, was extremely hungry. Upon seeing Yang Wu, it immediately rushed towards him at an astonishing speed.
"You're asking for death!"
Yang Wu sneered. With a sudden shake of his Warbreaker Spear, a cold light flashed in the night sky, and the Shadow Cat charging forward lost its life in the blink of an eye.
Although this was Yang Wu's first time hunting monsters in reality, he felt no discomfort at all. Because he had already hunted so many monsters in the simulator, those combat experiences seemed as if Yang Wu had experienced them himself.
Thud! The huge body of the Shadow Cat continued forward for more than ten meters due to its momentum before crashing heavily to the ground.
The corpse of the Shadow Cat remained relatively intact, except for a blood hole in its left eye.
Yang Wu took a few steps forward and then pulled out a dagger to collect materials from the Shadow Cat.
With a sigh, Yang Wu realized that he was participating in a real combat assessment for Provisional Warriors.
With a hollow laugh, Yang Wu slashed the Shadow Cat's left ear off with his Warbreaker Spear.
He placed the monster's left ear in his backpack and then waited silently on the side.
Monsters were inherently vicious, and they were particularly sensitive to the smell of blood. With the density of monsters in Monster Town, a large number of monsters would arrive here within a few minutes, saving Yang Wu the trouble of constantly searching for them.
Next, it was just a one-sided slaughter.
With the strength of a Junior Warlord, Yang Wu faced these lowest-level Soldier-Beast grade monsters, and it was a completely one-sided slaughter.
The smell of blood attracted a large number of monsters, while also deterring countless Provisional Warriors from approaching.
The Warbreaker Spear in Yang Wu's hand was like the scythe of death, harvesting the lives of countless monsters here.
It wasn't until the thick smell of blood scared off the monsters that Yang Wu moved to another location.
One, two... ten... hundreds...
Countless monsters died at Yang Wu's hands. By around 9 p.m., just over two hours since the assessment began, Yang Wu's backpack was already filled with the left ears of monsters.
Meanwhile, not far from the sealed town, inside a large building, a military officer and a burly man were drinking together in a small room.
"Report!" A voice suddenly sounded from outside the room.
"Come in!"
Upon hearing Hou Zhen's voice, a military officer pushed open the door and entered the room.
"What's the matter?"
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't be disturbed during the assessment. Therefore, Hou Zhen quickly asked.
"Report, it seems that the number of monsters in Monster Town has already fallen short. Should we immediately transport another batch of monsters?" The military officer quickly reported.
"How is that possible?" Hou Zhen asked in confusion. "Didn't we just transport two thousand monsters in there?"
Although he was puzzled, Hou Zhen didn't hesitate to give orders: "Send my command to transport another one thousand monsters into the town immediately, and ensure that the live combat assessment proceeds smoothly. Additionally, dispatch an elite team to enter the town and investigate the reason for the sudden disappearance of monsters. We must ensure the personal safety of the Provisional Warriors participating in the assessment."
Although such a situation had never occurred before, Hou Zhen calmly issued various orders.
"Iron Monkey!" the burly man beside him suddenly spoke up. "I think I've found the reason for the sudden disappearance of monsters!"
"What?" Hou Zhen quickly looked at the burly man. "Old Wang, this is no time for jokes!"
"How could I joke at a time like this? Take a look at the screen!" The burly man Wang Heng pointed to a monitor.
"Hmm?" Hou Zhen quickly followed Wang Heng's gaze to the monitor.
On the screen, more than ten various monsters were attacking a Provisional Warrior in his twenties. In the blink of an eye, the Provisional Warrior had slain over a dozen monsters. Countless monster corpses lay around him.
"Specialized-level marksmanship?"
Hou Zhen was momentarily stunned, then immediately realized. He turned to the officer who hadn't left yet and said, "Xiao Li, immediately send someone to transport one thousand more monsters into the town, and then bring this person from the surveillance over to me."
"Damn, is it easy for me to catch so many monsters, only to have them all taken by him alone!" Hou Zhen laughed heartily. "I must make him compensate me!"
The officer received the order and quickly left.
Wang Heng, who had been silent, felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing Hou Zhen's laughter. He quickly said, "Iron Monkey, I discovered this guy first!"
Wang Heng didn't want to tell Hou Zhen about this, but he didn't want to tell Hou Zhen about it. He didn't know Yang Wu, and Hou Zhen controlled the entire military region. It was only a matter of time before he wanted to find Yang Wu.
What's more, the two have had decades of friendship. Wang Heng didn't choose to hide it, but he didn't expect that the other party also fell in love with Yang Wu.
"Old Wang!" Hou Zhen sighed and said slowly: "As you know, our military has always been at the forefront of resisting monsters and lacks high-level combat capabilities. If this person is just a genius with a professional level of marksmanship, I will never fight with you! But this person's physical fitness has probably reached the level of a junior warlord. With this kind of strength, he can stand alone. Our military will never give up!"
Hou Zhen and I are both high-level warriors ! The best among general-level warriors can naturally analyze Yang Wu's strength through video.
After hearing what Hou Zhen said, Wang Heng was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew that it was not easy for the military, and Hou Zhen had also helped him a lot over the years.
"Iron Monkey!" Wang Heng sighed and said, "You have already said this, how can I argue with you!"
"But!" Wang Heng suddenly changed the subject: "If this person has not taken the boost We at Thunder Martial Arts School are going to compete for the treasure of physical fitness."
Hou Zhen felt relieved when he heard that Wang Heng gave up on his own initiative. If the Thunder Martial Arts School is determined to compete, Hou Zhen really doesn't have much confidence in recruiting the other party. After all, in terms of conditions, the two schools are almost the same, but the Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School offers more freedom.
As for what Wang Heng said, if the other party had never taken a treasure to improve his physical fitness, Hou Zhen was not worried at all.
Just after reaching the assessment standards for quasi-warriors, his physical fitness can be improved to that of an elementary warrior, and his strength must have increased by more than 8,000 kilograms. Hou Zhen has never heard of such a monster in all his years of life.
