Chapter 10: Actual combat assessment!

"Young people are impulsive, come with me."
The one who took Luo Xiu to the assessment site was an old man in 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 with a six-pointed star array.
"Magic Badge!"
Luo Xiu was slightly surprised. Obviously, the identity of this old man was not simple. He had a dual identity and seemed to be old, but in fact, his life line contained vigorous vitality and dormant powerful force.
Walking on the passage, with torches hung on both sides, pushing a stone gate open, Luo Xiu followed the old man into a room with ample space.
The floor of this room is staggered with some weird patterns, which are connected vertically and horizontally like ghost symbols, and it seems that there is no pattern.
In the center of the room, there is a raised stone platform, about two feet high.
Before Luo Xiu asked, the white-robed old man said: "This is where the assessment is. If you fail the assessment, remember to pay the fee for opening the formation."
"Expenses?" Luo Xiu was taken aback.
"Do you think the formation can be opened randomly? The first-level hunter's assessment requires a vitality stone. If you pass, the fee will be paid by the hunter guild. If you fail, you will have to pay the fee for a vitality stone. "The white-robed old man explained.
Luo Xiu had heard of something like the vitality stone, which is a highly condensed ore of heaven and earth vitality. Martial artists can directly absorb the vitality inside for cultivation, and the effect is more significant than the meager vitality between heaven and earth.
"This...how much is a vitality stone?" Luo Xiu regretted not taking a good look at the contract that the beauty received just now, so he didn't know that there was a fee.
"Five hundred taels of silver."
"Hi...so expensive!?" Luo Xiu was taken aback. The money was undoubtedly astronomical to him.
The white-robed old man raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Xiu, and said with a smile: "If you are not sure, it is too late to withdraw now."
The cost of five hundred taels made Luo Xiu have to think about it, so he asked: "I want to know what the specific assessment content is."
"If you don't even know what the content of the assessment is, dare to come over. Where is your kid as a hunter's guild, how can you let you mess around?"
The white-robed old man immediately blew his beard and stared, "I don't care about you old man because of your young age. Go back and practice hard."
Although the other party spoke unceremoniously, Luo Xiu was not angry. After all, he did not know anything about the hunter's assessment.
In the hall just now, I learned a little bit from the other hunters. It seemed that I was going to fight the first-level monsters head-on, but in this room, where are the monsters?
Seeing Luo Xiu looking around, the white-robed old man said indifferently: "The monster beast will only appear after the formation is activated. The assessment for the first-level hunter is to kill three first-level monsters independently!"
Monster beasts are different from wild beasts. The lowest level monster beasts can be comparable in strength to the five-strength warriors of human refining.
But the real strength still has to be presented in battle, and the same five-tiered body refining, a warrior who has no experience in fighting, is far from an opponent of a monster.
"Three first-level monsters? I should be able to!" Luo Xiu said.
The white-robed old man didn't say much, and pointed to the stone platform in the middle of the room, "You can stand on it."
Luo Xiu nodded, and walked over to stand on the stone platform.
"After I turn on 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 is best not to hold on, as long as your thoughts move, three Within a single breath, you can escape from the formation." said the white-robed old man.
The three breaths seem to be short, but many things can happen in the life and death struggle. Many people who have died or injured during the assessment are also caused by this short period of time.
"Let's start!" Luo Xiu took a deep breath and adjusted his state to the best.
The white-robed old man turned his hand and took out a palm-sized stone that exuded a pale white light, walked to a depression in the formation pattern, and put the vitality stone into it.
"Om!"
A faint light of light illuminates on the formation patterns on the floor of the room, and then all the light converges towards the stone platform where Luo Xiu is.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Xiu felt that the situation in front of him was constantly changing, the environment changed, and he appeared in a closed room like a cage.
"Roar!"
A white light flashed, and three ferocious monsters appeared ten meters away from him.
The whole body has gray hair and scarlet eyes. It is similar to a wild wolf, but it is much larger than a wolf, and its claws are as sharp as a knife, and its fangs are gleaming.
"Ironback Demon Wolf!"
Although Luo Xiu had never seen a monster beast, he knew something about it from books. From the characteristics, he could see the origin of this monster beast.
Such low-level demon wolves are known as iron backs, which means their back bones are as hard as iron stone.
"No life context?"
Luo Xiu furrowed his brows, and he stared attentively, only to find that the three iron-backed demon wolves had no vital veins in their bodies, and they were entirely composed of vitality.
This is naturally because of the formation method, which cannot perfectly transform the real life.
Luo Xiu frowned because in this environment, he couldn't use his ability to damage the veins of life.
Facing the three iron-backed demon wolves, Luo Xiu was not nervous, even faintly excited.
He licked his lips, made a gesture of about to attack, and muttered to himself: "It doesn't matter if you are restricted, this will show my true strength!"
"Wow!"
At this moment, the three iron-backed demon wolves were already flying towards him, with a very fierce aura.
Although the formation method cannot deduce a complete life form, it can show the habits and attack methods of this monster.
"Good job!"
Luo Xiu's footsteps moved slightly, Dacheng's footwork was almost instinctive, and he directly avoided the attack of the two iron-backed monster wolves.
"Dragon and tiger fist and tiger style!" There was no pause in the movement of his hand, and his internal energy was circulated in his fists and smashed into the abdomen of the third demon wolf.
The monster beast also knows how to avoid its vitals when fighting. The monster wolf suddenly crawled, exposing its strongest back to Luo Xiu's attack.
"Boom!"
This demon wolf was directly blown out by Luo Xiu, and then his body burst into white light in mid-air.
Although it is known as the iron back, the back defense is the strongest, but it is only relatively speaking. Luo Xiu's Dacheng Realm Dragon Tiger Fist is comparable to the full-strength shots of the Seventh-tiered Warriors, coupled with the destructive power of death's internal energy. Able to kill with one punch.
However, Luo Xiu was also uncomfortable, and the fierce counter-shock made the bone head of his right fist broken, which was extremely painful.
At this moment, the other two iron-backed demon wolves once again rushed forward in a fierce manner, and the fishy wind blew on their faces.
"The breath of life!"
The inner Qi of the life and death poles transforms attributes in the body, and the rich vitality rushes to the fist, repairing the life vein, and the broken bones are also quickly healed.
Unfolding his footwork, Luo Xiu easily avoided the attacks of the two iron-backed monster wolves.
"Tenglong style!"
Inner qi is transformed into two strands in the body, one that transforms life and repairs the veins of life, and the other turns into death to perform martial arts to kill the enemy.
"boom!"
Another iron-backed demon wolf exploded into white light, and Luo Xiu's head exploded with a punch.
"The first-level monster is nothing more than that." Luo Xiu squinted at the last remaining monster wolf, curled the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself: "It can be used to sharpen my footwork."
The Ironback Demon Wolf rushed, this time Luo Xiu did not forcefully kill, but put his hands behind his back, and avoided the demon wolf's attack by means of inches.
The demon wolf's attacks were quick, pounces, bites, sharp claws, and the frequency was consistent with almost no pause.
However, Luo Xiu's movements were faster. In the past half an hour, this iron-backed demon wolf could not touch the corner of his clothes.
"It's really boring. It seems that I want to continue to improve my physical fitness. Just this level of training is not enough."
For half an hour of physical exercise, although the effect is better than simply using wooden stakes, it is not that obvious and the improvement is minimal.
"Boom!"
A heavy punch was the time when the Ironback Demon Wolf just pounced and couldn't react. Luo Xiu's hard skull was shattered by a punch. The demon wolf disappeared and turned into white light floating around.
"Get out!"
After passing the examination, Luo Xiu spoke to the surroundings.
The surrounding scenes began to change. After three breaths, Luo Xiu withdrew from the formation, still standing on the stone platform, as if he had never moved.
As soon as Luo Xiu came out, he saw the white-robed old man who brought him to the test, and saw that the other party looked at him with surprise at this moment.
"Good boy, old man, I actually took my eyes off, your strength is comparable to body refining seven." The white robe old man said, the formation here is arranged by him, so Luo Xiu has everything in the formation environment. He can see all the experience.
Luo Xiu scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
"But you kid, don't be arrogant and complacent, not to mention the entire Yunlong County, even in this Qingyun City, five body refining is not a big deal, you have a long way to go." The white-robed old man said with a smile.
"Remember the predecessor's teaching." Luo Xiu said.
"Okay, you can go to the lobby to collect the hunter's badge." The white-robed old man signed a name on Luo Xiu's application assessment, and then handed the application form to Luo Xiu.
"Zhuang Nantian..." When Luo Xiu saw the signature on it, he knew it must be the name of the old man in white robe.
...
"Half an hour has passed, it seems that kid must have failed the assessment!"
"Haha, maybe it's already dead inside."
"Even if you are not dead, broken arms and legs are common in the assessment."
In the hall, the people on both sides are facing each other, and the people on Guo Xiu's side have an expression of determination.
On the other hand, the people on Zhou Long's side had a gloomy expression. They just took Luo Xiu's application for the assessment as a gamble, but the bet on both sides was a full one thousand taels!
One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for a Qi Sea Realm martial artist, and it takes ten and a half months to earn it.
But what Zhou Long cared most was not silver, but face. Among the hunters in Qingyun City, he was also considered a small famous figure.
"Guo Xiu, don't be proud, if that little brother really passes the examination, I see where else you can put your dog face!" Zhou Long said with a grunt.
"I still said the same thing. If he really can pass, Guo Xiu twisted his head and kicked him as a ball!" Guo Huo shouted without showing weakness.
"Come, come out!"
At this moment, someone pointed their finger at the passage leading to the assessment area. Everyone walked around and saw Luo Xiu walking towards the counter with the application form in his hand.
"Snapped!"
Under everyone's eyes, Luo Xiu walked to the counter, patted the application form under his palm, and stared at Jiang Shanshan with a smile.
"Little brother, looking at you, you haven't suffered any injuries. Could it be that you have retired and didn't participate in the assessment?" Jiang Shanshan looked at Luo Xiu and said with a smile.
"I said beauty, what if I pass the examination?" Luo Xiu also smiled. In fact, he also knew that Jiang Shanshan had persuaded him before for his own sake. He just thought this woman was quite interesting. Maybe it was in the lobby of the Hunters' Guild. Influenced by the atmosphere, his character also let go a lot.
The people on both sides of Zhou Long and Guo Xiu also paid attention to the movement here, and wanted to know the final result.
Jiang Shanshan rolled his eyes at Luo Xiu, fingered her lips, and said with a smile: "Little brother, it's not the elder sister who said you, the chance of a five-tiered martial artist passing the test is less than 10%. If you really can pass the test, sister How about I chasing you next to me?"
"puff!"
Many drinkers in the hall heard these words, all spitting out, all of them dumbfounded.
"Damn, why didn't I have such good luck, let beautiful Shanshan chase after her!"
"Unreasonable, does Shanshan really like this kid, like a tender one?"
"His grandma, I curse this kid for failing the test!"
The people in the hall also followed up and said, "Boy, hurry up, did you pass?"
Luo Xiu smiled, and took his palm away from the application form, "Beauty, remember what you just said."
Everyone's gazes all fell on the application form, and the two eye-catching ‘passed’ words made the whole hall quiet and the needle dropped.
