Killing Technique

The so-called Ring Rail was different from the rides Luo Di saw on the street.

It is a giant spine that encircles the nest city, capable of reaching speeds of up to 300 km/h, and the interior of the spine has been hollowed out and processed into a station warehouse structure.

Because of the existence of the Fei Ji, Luo Di can ride for free.

The Ring Rail carriages are not only soft and comfortable, but also come with disposable straws. Passengers can insert the straws into the carriage walls to sip the free Spinal Cord Drink, which, although not very concentrated, tastes quite good.

Encouraged by Fei Ji, Luo Di also gave it a try. As streams of bone marrow with a pineapple-like flavor entered his stomach, the high-quality nutrition further replenished his body, bringing him to his optimal state.

In addition, this spinal Ring Rail will not stop completely.

When the train arrives at a major station, the speed will drop to 70 km/h, and passengers will need to take the opportunity to jump out through the gaps in their bones.

<Approaching the Fifth Recruitment Ground; the bone gap will open in 10 seconds. The Ring Rail is currently 37.3 meters above the ground. Passengers who need to disembark, please wait at the bone gap opening.>

A figure shrouded in a black coat emerged from between the bones and fell, without slowing down at all.

Boom!

The ground was slightly dented, but it will soon heal itself.

Luo Di looked up at the street in front of him. It was no longer bustling with people, and there was a strange smell in the air that was hard to describe, as if many smells were mixed together.

The source of the flavor comes from the Flesh and Blood Building directly in front of you – the "Fifth Recruitment Ground".

It appears to be a building material made by mixing spine and flesh, and is square in shape, estimated to be about the size of two stadiums.

There are a total of 13 such buildings in this area.

Each building's facade is printed with a serial number and a unique Hell Slogan:

<Everything in the service of war>

Recruitment Ground

All Spine Warriors who have completed Flesh Forging and maintained independent consciousness will go here to participate in Service Assessment. The final assessment results will determine which legion each individual will be assigned to.

Ordinary spine patients wouldn't receive the same treatment as Luo Di.

They are often sent over directly after their Flesh Forging, and only after winning a true legion identity can they obtain the Residency Right in Mid-Nest.

Many spine warriors, even if they survive the forging process, will die during the assessment or be overlooked by any legion.

Upon entering the Fifth Recruitment Ground, Luo Di was not immediately put on the field. Instead, he was arranged to wait in a rest room while other recruits were undergoing their Service Assessment.

Fei Ji also used the waiting time to provide relevant explanations regarding the assessment:

"Luo Di, your Service Assessment requires you to complete multiple battles here."

Ultimately, recruitment will be based on your characteristics, and generally, recruiting 1 to 2 legions is sufficient.

If multiple legions are interested in you, you can also choose the legion that best suits your style.

As for what legions are involved, you will find out all of them once you complete the assessment. Telling you everything at once would actually weaken your understanding of the Spine Warriors.

In addition, some special, accredited small battle groups will come to select people, but they will usually only choose soldiers who are extremely special in a certain aspect.

Just give it your all, and I'll offer some advice when you make your final decision.

"Are you going to play later?"

"That's right~ After all, you are Outer-Realm Apostle, and you know nothing about the situation in Chaos Nest. I will be with you during this period, and during the assessment, I will also explain the test requirements and the 'enemies' you will be facing."

Of course, I have no fighting ability, so don't worry about me.

Generally, the first assessment will test your basic strength after you acquire Tempered Flesh, to see if you can meet the standards of a soldier. The difficulty is relatively simple.

They will often assign you a "Lost Spine-bearer".

In other words, those who suffered spinal injuries and loss of consciousness on the battlefield, after being treated, became unconscious War Shell.

"Um."

Luo Di twirled the seemingly ordinary butcher knife in his hand, his heart already restless since he stepped into the building.

He also activated the clothing recording function, as he had to record the entire novel and interesting process.

The waiting process was also a bit boring, as Luo Di is not one to waste time.

He immediately started doing One-finger Push-up, doing a full thousand, but still didn't get the information to go on stage.

Seeing Luo Di covered in sweat, Fei Ji couldn't help but remind him:

"The first round is easy, but the difficulty will keep increasing and there won't be much rest time. Why don't you save some energy?"

"Just a warm-up."

I finally received the notification around the time I finished doing three thousand push-ups.

<Luo Di the Spine Warrior, please proceed to the inner field for your Service Assessment>

Walking out along the passageway directly opposite the lounge, what came into view was an Colosseum that was even larger than expected, almost too large, making participants like Luo Di, who had a human physique, appear extremely small.

There are no spectator seats set up here.

Recruiters from different legions only learned about the specific situation here through the "Eyeball Monitor" on the sidelines.

certainly,

Luo Di's appearance and his attire, which clearly did not belong to hell, quickly attracted the special attention of many legion members. Many eyes on the sidelines Spine Extension, wanting to see what was so special about this Outer-Realm Apostle.

Urged on by the Fei Ji,

Luo Di quickened his pace and arrived at the center of the huge Colosseum.

The first assessment is about to begin; please prepare for battle.

Rumble!

From the iron gate directly opposite the Colosseum, a thick, pungent smell of blood wafted out, accompanied by the sound of teeth clashing.

The so-called "Lost Spine-bearer" have emerged.

The other person wasn't particularly large; he was just a bit taller than Luo Di.

The Spine Dentition characterized by various molars arranged haphazardly on the surface, constantly rubbing and chewing against each other.

Not only that,

The spinal cord patient's eyeballs were also absent, and the eye sockets were filled with tiny teeth.

His mouth was also completely split open, and the number of teeth inside was more than three times that of a normal person.

The scent emanating from Luo Di was quickly detected and locked onto by the teeth as they chewed.

His yearning for the root of war led him to believe that this place was still a battlefield, and that Luo Di was the only enemy who had to be completely killed.

Click click click~

The teeth rubbed together rapidly, quickly acquiring Luo Di's Pheromone.

The Lost Spine-bearer soon experienced the threat of the butcher's knife in the other's hand, and sensed the possibility of being hacked or beheaded.

Sensing Luo Di's power, he no longer held back.

"Full-body Spinal Opening"

This person was grinding their teeth violently along their spine.

Layers of teeth emerge from the skin, replacing it. The teeth are particularly dense and strong in the neck and waist area, preventing decapitation or dismemberment.

Even the soles of his feet and the palms of his hands had grown dense, chewing teeth.

Enhanced grip allows for greater speed.

The teeth in the palm could cause deep chewing injuries if they landed on Luo Di.

"Sharp..."

Luo Di was very surprised.

He wasn't surprised that his first opponent was so powerful, but rather astonished that the opponent's "spinal opening" could achieve the full expression of his body's characteristics, something he couldn't do.

It was while Luo Di was observing this state of full-body spinal opening that...

The opponent had already sprinted over and was now completely close.

As the dense array of teeth in his palms was about to strike his face, Luo Di remained standing still without making any move, not even showing any intention of dodging.

He simply looked at the other person, staring into the other person's eyes full of teeth.

Watching...

When the distance is close enough,

Buzz! A gray glint flashed in Luo Di's eyes, and a certain aura of fear was transmitted directly to the other's brain through this color.

Even though the consciousness of the Lost Spine-bearer has dissipated, his biological instincts can still accept this fear.

The person with the spine suddenly froze in place, motionless, even stopping the waving of their hand.

Although he quickly overcame his fear by worshipping war, it also delayed him, and his goal was no longer in sight.

Chewing with teeth

His opponent's presence was already behind him.

Hoo~ Ha~

A mouthful of ash was exhaled from Luo Di's mouth.

He did not have spinal surgery.

Instead, it adopted a unique attack stance.

At the same time, wrap wire around your left hand to provide sufficient rigidity.

The spine is mobilized solely to increase the power of the left arm, releasing force instantly to deliver a punch.

This is not a simple punch attack.

Instead, it was a killing technique he learned from the Orphanage, called "Spine Strike".

It appears to be a clenched fist, but in reality, the middle finger is protruded outward to form a striking point. Then, taking advantage of the characteristics of the torture chamber, the middle finger is reinforced in multiple layers and wrapped with wire.

A punch was thrown!

It hit the middle of the opponent's spine with pinpoint accuracy.

The stance, the power, and the strike were all executed flawlessly! Luo Di's stance was also quite standard, a technique that no Hell Creature possesses.

Crack! A crisp sound rang out from the Colosseum.

The first assessment has ended.
