The Assessment Ends

"Yang Wu, did the supervisor just say your strength is no worse than mine?"

Walking along the road, Wu Tong asked Yang Wu with a mix of curiosity and astonishment.

"Instructor, my physical fitness has only reached the level of an Elementary Warlord; my strength certainly cannot compare to yours!" Yang Wu said modestly.

"Good lad!"

Although Wu Tong had been mentally prepared, hearing Yang Wu's affirmative answer still left him incredibly shocked.

This was an Elementary Warlord!

He, Wu Tong, had spent over a decade flirting with death in the Wilderness Area to achieve his current strength. Yang Wu had just become a prospective fighter, and he had already reached this level?

"Chief Instructor?" Seeing Wu Tong lost in thought, Yang Wu, who was following behind, couldn't help but remind him.

"Ah! Yang Wu, from now on, you can just call me Old Wu, or call me Uncle Wu like Luo Feng does!"

Yang Wu's strength was now no weaker than his own, and since he wasn't really Yang Wu's teacher anymore, he naturally couldn't let Yang Wu continue to call him Instructor.

As they walked, Wu Tong sighed, "I originally thought that since Luo Feng has the strength of an Intermediate Warrior, he could already be considered a genius, but I never expected, Yang Wu, that you..."

"Uncle Wu, I was just lucky!"

A moment later.

"Alright, we're here!" Wu Tong said.

Yang Wu looked ahead and saw that the two of them had arrived in a spacious hall.

"This is where our Extreme Martial Arts Hall recruits fighters during this actual combat assessment!" After saying this, Wu Tong led Yang Wu inside.

After Wu Tong walked into the hall, a young woman in a white suit who had been waiting inside walked over with a printed contract.

"Instructor Wu, this is the contract the supervisor ordered to be printed!" The young woman handed the contract and a pen to Wu Tong.

Wu Tong took the contract and the pen, handed them to Yang Wu, and pointed to two spots, saying, "Yang Wu, sign your name right here and here."

Yang Wu took the contract and began to read it carefully. The conditions in the contract were very clear and straightforward, and the clauses were written plainly, leaving no room for confusion.

After reading it, Yang Wu immediately signed his name.

"Mr. Yang Wu!" After Yang Wu finished signing, the young woman in the white suit smiled and said, "Starting today, you can move your family directly into the fighter villa residential area. The startup funds and the special funds for purchasing secret manuals will also be transferred to your fighter account very soon. Please keep an eye out for the notification!"

Yang Wu nodded.

After reminding Yang Wu, the young woman left; she still had to get Zhuge Tao to sign the contract.

"Yang Wu, where do you plan to move your family? Why not move to Mingyue Residential Quarter?" After the young woman left, Wu Tong asked.

Currently, there were only three Warlord-level fighters at the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Yangzhou City. Having finally gained another Warlord-level fighter, Wu Tong didn't want to let Yang Wu slip away.

"Sure!" Yang Wu agreed.

He had already intended to move to Mingyue Residential Quarter anyway.

Time passed quickly, and before long, it was the early hours of the next day.

At this moment, prospective fighters participating in the assessment were emerging one after another from the entrance of Monster Town.

Having fought monsters all night, everyone's face bore a trace of exhaustion, and their combat uniforms were covered in blood.

Beside the town exit, military personnel had already begun counting the number of monster ears collected by the prospective fighters.

"Wang Hao, three monster left ears, minor back injury."

"Zhou Tao, four monster left ears, no injuries."

"Zhao Tianyun, two monster left ears, left leg injury."

The prospective fighters, whether joyful or dejected, all stood in line in silence, quietly listening to the officer in charge of the assessment announce the results.

Since Yang Wu had already joined the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, he naturally didn't want to show off, so he casually took out five monster left ears to register.

Afterward, Yang Wu and Wu Tong waited together at the entrance for Luo Feng to come out.

"Look, Luo Feng, who was recruited in advance by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, is coming out!"

"I wonder how many monsters he hunted?"

"High physical fitness doesn't necessarily mean he's good at hunting monsters!" As a few exclamations rang out, Yang Wu turned his head to see Luo Feng, dressed in a combat uniform, walking out of Monster Town.

"Luo Feng, 36 monster left ears. Not bad. So far, you have hunted the most monsters among this batch of prospective fighters, and you aren't injured either!"

A moment later, the officer in charge of the assessment announced Luo Feng's results.

"So many! That's amazing."

"He truly lives up to being a genius specially recruited by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall."

A wave of exclamations erupted from the crowd.

"Luo Feng's strength is quite good; his physical fitness is high, and his actual combat ability is also impressive!" Wu Tong sighed from the side.

If he were to use his spiritual force, he would probably kill even more than I did! Yang Wu thought to himself.

Luo Feng's current physical fitness was at the Intermediate Warrior level. Calculating based on the fact that spiritual force is two levels higher than a martial artist's rank, his rank as a Spirit Reader had also reached the Initial Warlord level. A Spirit Reader's speed at hunting monsters was much faster than that of a martial artist, especially when dealing with the lowest-tier Soldier-level monsters.

At this moment, Luo Feng, having already finished the assessment, noticed Yang Wu and Wu Tong.

"Uncle Wu, Brother Yang!" Luo Feng called out from the crowd and quickly walked over.

Luo Feng's shout drew the attention of the other prospective martial artists toward Yang Wu and his companion.

"Who are those two? They look like they might be pretty impressive!"

"I recognize the older one; he's Wu Tong, the chief instructor of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Yangzhou City. He has Warlord-level strength!"

"Warlord-level! I wonder when I'll ever reach that level?"

"What about the other guy?"

"The other one seems to be named Yang Wu. I heard he's also a prospective martial artist taking the assessment this time."

"Luo Feng!" Seeing Luo Feng approach, Yang Wu laughed heartily, "You've made quite a name for yourself this time!"

Luo Feng smiled sheepishly.

Wu Tong, standing to the side, curled his lip and thought to himself, If this counts as making a name for yourself, then you, Yang Wu, have surpassed Luo Feng by who knows how much!

Back when Zhuge Tao had called Wu Tong over, he had recognized all the big shots in that room. Even a fool could tell that those people gathering together was definitely for Yang Wu's sake.

"Brother Yang, how many monsters did you kill? You should be able to pass the assessment, right?"

Luo Feng asked with a smile, still remembering how Yang Wu had mentioned an increase of 8,000 kilograms of strength when the assessment began.

"Not many, I only killed five. Just enough to barely pass the assessment!"

Hearing Yang Wu's words, Wu Tong was speechless once again.

He had seen clearly when Yang Wu tossed aside the monster ears used for the assessment. Five? He was afraid it was more than five hundred!

Unable to listen any longer, Wu Tong quickly said, "Yang Wu, Luo Feng, you two go change your clothes first. I'm going to go check on the others from our martial arts hall!"

"Alright!" Yang Wu and Luo Feng quickly replied.
