Advancing to Hunter

In the quiet secret chamber.

It was now filled with the low roars of a young man.

After Berg drank the Eagle Eye potion, the first sensation he felt was a burning pain as the liquid slid down his throat, which then transformed into a surge of heat flowing through his limbs.

"Ah—!"

He felt intense pain all over his body, especially in his eyes, as if flames were burning in his eyeballs, causing his vision to distort and reassemble.

This unprecedented pain caused him to kneel on the cold floor, rolling back and forth while covering his eyes.

"No, my lord is watching me, how can I be so undignified?"

With this thought, Berg endured the severe pain and, in his blurred vision, knelt on one knee before Xian, bowing his head deeply and clenching his teeth to suppress any sound.

"You've worked hard, Chu Berg."

In a world of darkness, he only felt his shoulder being gently pressed by his lord, and a gentle comforting voice reached his ears.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Berg's consciousness gradually cleared, the pain subsided, and his vision returned.

However, unlike before, he could now clearly see the tiny dust particles in the air, every small crack on the walls of the secret chamber, and the greatness of his lord before him! "Congratulations, you have successfully digested the Eagle Eye potion."

Xian looked at the young man before him with satisfaction, especially at his eyes.

They were unforgettable eyes.

The pupils were amber in color, with a metallic cold light under the light, giving a strong sense of penetration. When being stared at, one would even feel a sense of being locked onto by a raptor.

However, after noticing his gaze, the cold light in those eyes gradually dissipated, becoming docile and respectful.

"My lord, it is your glory that has sheltered me," Berg said frankly.

This was not a lie, but his true inner thoughts. It was the voice in the darkness that had awakened his consciousness.

"However, you didn't directly advance to Hunter?"

Xian looked at the white "Hunter" above the young man's head, a trace of regret flashing across his face.

"No, my lord, I feel that I have reached my limit. What I lack now is only a great achievement," Berg shook his head and explained.

After taking the potion, he could clearly feel that the power in his body had expanded two or three times, and there was an inexplicable energy gathering, but it was unable to be released due to some kind of shackle.

Great achievement, Xian mused thoughtfully.

When he advanced to True Magician, releasing a magic with a triple Magic Rune superposition was considered achieving a great achievement. Then, the Hunter's great achievement should be—a hearty hunt!

The next day.

Wolf Howl Forest.

The soft sunlight passed through layers of overlapping branches and leaves, converging into beams of golden light, gently scattering on the moss-covered soil.

"The Sun is really dazzling!"

Feeling the heat from the skin on his face, Xian pressed down the brim of the top hat on his head.

"My lord, why don't you rest here in the shade of the trees and wait for me to achieve my great achievement before I come back to find you?" Berg, who was carrying a quiver and bow on his back and a sword at his waist, fully armed, suggested.

"No problem, I also want to witness your great undertaking," Xian said calmly.

After learning about the great undertaking required to advance to a Hunter, the two of them came here to hunt again after a long absence.

During this time, they also refused Viscount Hughes's strong request to accompany them. After all, this was just an ordinary hunt, and there was no need for a powerhouse at the Morning Star Stage to come out.

Secondly, he also wanted to take the opportunity to get some fresh air. Although living in Black Wolf Castle was quite comfortable, everyone there was too respectful, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Awoo! "My lord, we are now in the center of Wolf Howl Forest and do not need to go any further."

Listening to the wolf howls that sounded from time to time in the distance, Berg stopped.

"Please stay in the tree for now and witness my great undertaking," he said respectfully.

Xian did not refuse. He condensed Blank Magic at his fingertips and drew a "Wind" Magic Rune and an "Impact" Magic Rune on the ground beneath his feet, then superimposed the two Magic Runes.

Whoosh! Accompanied by a burst, a violent ball of wind slammed into the ground.

Taking advantage of this recoil, Xian jumped up, grabbed the thick branch of the tree above his head, and stood on the tree with a nimble flip.

After advancing to a Transcendent Rank True Magician, his physical fitness has also improved a lot. At least he can beat three or five College Students with his fists alone.

Seeing that Xian was in a safe position, Berg took out a dark solid from his pocket and lit it with a match.

After the black solid was lit, it emitted a slightly fishy and smelly odor, causing Xian on the tree to cover his nose.

Wolf-Attracting Incense—a kind of incense specially designed to attract wild wolves, given to Berg by the Sauron Knight who had been his sparring partner for a long time.

Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Not long after the Wolf-Attracting Incense was lit, intermittent and shrill wolf howls came from the depths of the forest, and faint sounds of branches being knocked open were transmitted.

Berg's eyes narrowed, his amber pupils as sharp as an Eagle Eye.

His gaze penetrated the layers of bushes and leaves, and he clearly saw the trembling eyelashes of the Gray Wolf that was rushing towards here from hundreds of meters away.

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly took out a cold iron arrow from the quiver behind him, then nocked the arrow and drew the bow. The pine wood bowstring made a crisp hum in the trembling.

Whoosh! Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, the arrow crossed hundreds of meters in an instant, piercing the eye socket of the Gray Wolf in the distance and nailing the Wolf Head to the tree.

Awoo! A miserable howl of a beast came from afar.

This was just the beginning. Berg repeated the previous action again and again, his fingers so flexible that he could hardly see anything but afterimages.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Iron arrows shot towards the distance like the Grim Reaper, and each arrow would cause a miserable wail after a moment.

"Awesome, comparable to Shooting a Halberd at Yuan Gate!"

Xian, standing on the tree, exclaimed as he watched this scene.

With his eyesight, even standing on the tree, he could only barely see black dots in the distance, and he could not tell whether they were wild wolves.

But at such a long distance, Berg was already able to nock the arrow and shoot the wild wolves accurately.

Seemingly aware that Xian's eyesight could not see, with seven or eight arrows still in the quiver, Berg put down his bow and arrow and instead drew the iron sword from his waist.

A moment later, accompanied by wolf howls, nine strong Gray Wolves surrounded Berg, staring at him with wolf eyes full of hatred.

And the leading Wolf Head was even more than a meter tall at the shoulder and nearly three meters long.

It was clearly a wolf, but its size was almost as large as a lion on Earth, giving people an extremely dangerous sense of terror.

"Sun, fire, Impact."

Seeing this, Xian silently began to draw Magic Runes. Once Berg showed signs of weakness, he would not hesitate to release magic.
