Ever since he became interested in Chen Mochuan because his points were hanging at zero for a long time, Xiong Zhou has been paying some attention to this maverick boy.
During the time when Chen Mochuan was traveling long distances, he also took the time to check the relevant information about Chen Mochuan collected internally by the Yunhan Martial Arts University Admissions Office through his portable terminal.
By entering large-scale test score records into the intranet of the education system, you can see the growth trajectory of the other party from the side.
In the monthly exam at the beginning of October last year, Chen Mochuan and Blood-Qi Value had not reached 3 o'clock yet, so it can only be said to be mediocre.
But after that, his Blood-Qi Value began to improve at an astonishing speed, and now College Entrance Exam has become a Mortal Shedding level Martial Artist.
"With this kind of growth rate, Songjiang Province will definitely be able to firmly enter the top three among all the candidates in this class -" Xiong Zhou secretly evaluated in his heart, "And his family background is ordinary, and no one could see his potential at the time. It is impossible to invest in any heavenly materials, earthly treasures or precious medicines to help him practice in advance."
"That is to say, he at least awakened a kind of Earth-Grade that can assist in cultivation, or even Heaven-Tier Spirit Talent - but the abnormality was not directly revealed like Wu Tong's "Giant Spirit Battle Body"."
If only his Qi and blood and martial arts realm were improved quickly, that would be fine. His actual combat ability had not dropped, so he was obviously not the kind of person whose Qi and blood improved too quickly, resulting in a weak foundation.
The information also mentioned that Chen Mochuan defeated Mortal Shedding, Martial Artist An Chiyu, who had just broken through in the top eight of Yunhai Youth Tournament in early March this year.
Such a record of jumping up the ranks is not unspectacular, but the only flaw is that among the intelligence collected, his only high-level and well-documented public actual combat record is this one.
The information after he was promoted to the Mortal Shedding realm is almost blank.
Among Songjiang Province's candidates this year, in the provincial capital city of Songcheng alone, there are several geniuses such as Cao Chuyue and Zhu Qian who have a clear record of succeeding in cross-level challenges during the Martial Warrior period.
At the same time, they were promoted to Mortal Shedding early. After that, they participated in various public or semi-public competitions and wilderness experiences, with many achievements and detailed information.
Therefore, Yunhan Martial Arts University's staff responsible for coordinating and writing candidates' information, after a comprehensive evaluation, believed that Chen Mochuan's high-level performance samples were insufficient, and there may be some chance and weak opponents. In addition, his lack of convincing performance after Mortal Shedding requires further observation, and the performance of Cao Chuyue and other geniuses is indeed too dazzling.
Therefore, Chen Mochuan was not included in the first tier of candidates who needed the most attention, but was placed in a relatively high position in the second tier. It was not Yunhan's most important recruiting target for this recruitment.
After browsing the information, Xiong Zhou nodded slightly. He could understand such an evaluation result.
The intelligence personnel's analysis is based on the information available to them, and there is no big logical problem.
The "sudden rise" of Chen Mochuan and the "information blank after Mortal Shedding" really make people doubt its potential.
After all, there are many geniuses who have suddenly emerged. In the past years, Yunhan has spent a lot of money to recruit many such people and invested a lot of resources in training, but there are very few who can truly meet expectations.
As for those "top picks", their family background, resources, and continued exposure all make them look more "reliable".
The current situation is tense, and Yunhan Martial Arts University's resources are not infinite. Priority will inevitably be given to those who have greater control and look better.
Stable seedlings will have a higher success rate and can cultivate more backbones.
However, when Chen Mochuan stepped into the [S2] area and encountered that Shadow Leopard, Xiong Zhou had a clear view of his first battle performance.
From the initial calm temptation, to the precise counterattack and fierce confrontation, and then to the lightning-fast exchange of injuries for lives and killing the enemy with one blow——
Although the whole process was short, the combat awareness, timing and decisiveness shown in it made Xiong Zhou's eyes brighter and brighter.
"This kid----isn't simple."
"Hard-Body Training's accomplishments are quite impressive. His punches have a concentrated killing intent, and his explosive power is astonishing--he actually killed the notoriously difficult Shadow Leopard so neatly!"
"It seems that his performance in the Martial Warrior stage was no accident!"
"It's just that he was born in a small place and received less attention, and his records after Mortal Shedding were not leaked at all, so he was not listed as a key target - but this became his protective color. Even we, Yunhan, made misjudgments, let alone the other five companies."
Thinking of this, Xiong Zhou actually felt a little lucky.
He looked nonchalantly at his colleagues on the other side of the speeding car who were still discussing the performance of Cao Chuyue and others. Apparently no one noticed the short but exciting battle that had just ended in the corner, and he immediately felt a secret joy of finding a treasure.
So he began to plan a strategy to recruit Chen Mochuan. The battle that killed Shadow Leopard just now was worth at least a second-tier freshman training agreement.
If this outstanding performance can continue in the future, and there is even a chance to get a top-level training agreement, he is ready to see the other party's next performance before making a decision.
Just as Xiong Zhou was thinking about it, a series of strange actions by Chen Mochuan in the surveillance footage once again aroused his strong interest.
"Hey, what on earth does this kid want to do?"
After killing Shadow Leopard, Chen Mochuan immediately absorbed its Remnant Spirit through "Spirit Devourer", and used the pure Mental Spirituality contained in it to nourish and strengthen its own Mental Power, raising it from 38.88 to 38.89.
As his mental intensity increases, Mental Power's improvement becomes more and more difficult.
Now, even if Ferocious Beast kills First-Order Late Stage, the Mental Spirituality obtained can only provide an increase of 0.01; and one--
For Ferocious Beast at the beginning and middle stages, you need to kill several of them to have the same effect.
After absorbing Remnant Spirit, Chen Mochuan quickly acted again.
He used the military dagger he carried with him to quickly disassemble the most portable and valuable fangs and sharp claw tips of Shadow Leopard, put them into a special sealed bag that could isolate the smell of blood, and threw them into the equipment bag.
After doing this, he did not immediately leave this land of right and wrong that had just been stained with blood like ordinary Beast Hunter.
On the contrary, he glanced at Shadow Leopard's corpse calmly, swung the dagger in his hand again, slashed Proficiency along the midline of the corpse's abdomen, and disembowelled it.
Immediately, the internal organs were scattered all over the ground, and warm blood surged like a spring, quickly saturating the nearby humus soil. The nauseating smell of blood spread to the surroundings with the breeze.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Mochuan took out a can of special military interference spray from the equipment bag, and quickly sprayed himself from head to toe, especially the areas on his body that were stained with Shadow Leopard's blood, and sprayed them carefully.
This kind of spray can effectively interfere with most Ferocious Beast that rely on olfactory tracking, confuse the smell, and cover up its own human scent to a certain extent.
After completing all the preparations, he calmly retreated to the shadow of the pile of rocks where Shadow Leopard had previously used to ambush, hiding his figure with the help of the gaps in the rocks, adjusting his breathing until it was inaudible, and began to wait quietly.
The purpose of his move was very clear, to use this fresh First-Order Late Stage Ferocious Beast corpse as bait to attract predators in the area.
This will not only allow you to wait for work, but also save a lot of time searching for Ferocious Beast, and greatly improve the efficiency of obtaining points.
Of course, Chen Mochuan also knew that the preparations he made were not foolproof.
If there are too many Ferocious Beasts attracted, or if there are individuals whose strength far exceeds expectations, there is still considerable danger.
However, even if he is really discovered and defeated, he is absolutely confident that he can escape.
After all, although there is a mortality rate in this examination, the military will never allow Tier Two Ferocious Beast, who exceeds the standard of strength, to enter the designated area of the examination room.
So, after weighing the risks and benefits, he decided the plan was worth a try.
The development of things was indeed in line with his prediction. In just seven or eight minutes, a rustling sound came from the dark forest in the distance, accompanied by a low and greedy whimper.
Soon, a small group of Ferocious Beast figures appeared in Chen Mochuan's field of vision, approaching quickly following the strong smell of blood.
This is a small group consisting of ten Putrid Hyena.
The leader is a female hyena with a shoulder height of nearly one meter. The mane on her neck is thicker and harder. She is obviously the queen of the group. Judging from her size, she is definitely as powerful as First-Order Late Stage.
The three hyenas that followed were slightly smaller, but also significantly stronger than the ordinary Ferocious Beast. They were one mid-level first-order hyena and two First Order Initial Stage.
The remaining six are even smaller in size and have not yet truly entered the ranks. They only serve as soldiers and sentinels in the group.
Facing such a lineup of Ferocious Beast, Chen Mochuan instantly made a calculation in his mind. "Although the number is a bit more, the core combat strength is only four advanced hyenas, which is completely within the range that I can handle."
So he lurked in the shadows more patiently, his body tensed slightly, Spirit Power flowed silently in Spirit Meridian, and he was ready to explode at any time.
The Putrid Hyena group followed the smell of blood and came to the bloody corpse of Shadow Leopard.
The largest one, Hyena Queen, let out a low purring sound in its throat. The six unqualified hyena soldiers immediately spread out as if they had received an order, pricking up their ears and waving their noses, taking on the duty of vigilance.
Hyena Queen had the absolute right to eat first. It walked up to the corpse with a slightly arrogant step, lowered its head and picked up the largest organ from the pile of steaming internal organs. It interlocked its fangs and began to bite it.
After eating most of the organ, it let out a short whimper of satisfaction and command.
Hearing this sound, the three advanced hyenas who were already salivating couldn't wait to step forward one after another. However, they knew the rules well and did not touch the most "delicious" offal scattered on the ground, which was the exclusive prerogative of the queen.
They could only do the next best thing, surrounding Shadow Leopard's body, and began to eat the tender meat of its buttocks, thighs and other places.
Soon, Chen Mochuan waited for an excellent opportunity to make a move.
An unqualified hyena that was originally facing the direction of the pile of rocks and responsible for vigilance seemed to be attracted by the sound of its companions feasting behind it and the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air. It couldn't help but turn around and look greedily at the corpse of Shadow Leopard. At this moment, its vigilance dropped to the lowest level.
That's it now!
Thunder-Striding Step moved with all his strength under his feet, and Chen Mochuan shot out from the pile of rocks like a thunderbolt breaking free from its shackles.
But the target of his raid was not the distracted sentry hyena, but Hyena Queen, who had his back turned to him and was concentrating on enjoying the food with his head down, and his defense was relatively lax!
To capture the thief, capture the king first!
The distance of more than ten meters was reached in an instant at the extreme speed of Thunder-Striding Step.
Although Hyena Queen is enjoying delicious food, to grow up to First-Order Late Stage and lead a small group in a wilderness full of dangers, his alertness and fighting instincts are by no means ordinary.
"Roar?!" Hyena Queen's mane exploded, and he had no time to spit out the food in his mouth. With the instinct of the beast and rich combat experience, he immediately exerted force on his limbs and wanted to jump sideways!
Hyena Queen's reaction was as fast as it could be, but it was still half a step too late.
"Crack!" A crisp sound of fracture sounded!
Chen Mochuan's powerful and heavy fist struck firmly on its right rear calf as it hurriedly retreated. The terrifying force of the punch penetrated the body, and the leg bone that was thicker than an adult's arm was broken in response!
"Ouch-!" A shrill howl broke through the tranquility of the forest.
Hyena Queen fell heavily to the ground and rolled twice before barely supporting his body on three legs.
I saw that its right rear calf was bent at an extremely unnatural angle, and it was obviously completely broken.
The severe pain and rage caused its small bloodshot eyes to instantly turn scarlet, and it let out a roar that was both painful and full of endless hatred.
Just when Chen Mochuan successfully attacked Hyena Queen and severely injured it, the other three advanced hyenas also reacted from their initial shock.
Facing this sudden human, they launched attacks without hesitation!
Among them, the mid-level first-order hyena was the most cunning. It did not pounce directly. Instead, it opened its big mouth exuding a foul smell, its neck muscles wriggled rapidly, and a bubbling ball of yellow-green corrosive pus shot towards Chen Mochuan's face like an arrow!
This is one of the special skills of Putrid Hyena. If it is hit, it will not only cause severe burns, but the putrefactive bacteria in it will also cause the wound to fester quickly and make it extremely difficult to heal.
Chen Mochuan had already been prepared for this. The moment the pus was about to reach his body, he changed his footwork and moved his body sideways. The stinking pus was avoided and landed on the tree trunk behind him with a "chi" sound, instantly corroding a hole with white smoke.
The other two First Order Initial Stage hyenas took the opportunity to pounce from the left and right sides at the same time, digging straight into Chen Mochuan's ribs with their gleaming claws!
This cooperation was quite tacit, sealing off the space for him to dodge left and right.
Facing these two seemingly dangerous claw strikes, Chen Mochuan's eyes flashed with a calm light.
He didn't even dodge, but the moment the claw hit his body, the muscles in his chest, abdomen and ribs instantly tightened and vibrated, and his body shrank back imperceptibly!
"Puff!" Two muffled sounds.
The sharp claws of the two hyenas tore through the outer layer of the standard Protective Suit of Chen Mochuan, but the moment they touched his skin, they seemed to be caught on a layer of thick rubber that was extremely elastic and constantly vibrating at high frequencies.
Although his Neutralizing Force skills have not yet reached the magical realm of the legendary "One feather cannot be added, and a fly cannot fall", his achievements in applying it to defense are already quite impressive.
Coupled with the strong physical defense, he received these two claw strikes from First Order Initial Stage Ferocious Beast. Apart from feeling some pain in his ribs, he did not even suffer any substantial injuries, only leaving a few shallow white marks on his skin.
Taking advantage of the slight stiffness caused by the blocked attack of the two hyenas, and the gap between the hyena that was spitting out pus and preparing for the next attack, Chen Mochuan turned his eyes and once again locked onto the broken leg of Hyena Queen, who was trying to adjust his posture.
We must take advantage of its illness to kill it! We must not give it a chance to breathe!
He moved again, ignoring the two hyenas that pounced on him again, and pounced on Hyena Queen again.
Upon seeing this, Hyena Queen's scarlet eyes shot out fiercely. Faced with the approaching danger, it suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and a piece of corrosive pus, which was darker in color and more pungent in smell than the previous hyena, sprayed towards Chen Mochuan's head and face!
This is its fatal blow, and its power and coverage have been upgraded to a new level.
However, Chen Mochuan had already anticipated this move. He kicked his feet hard and his forward body suddenly stopped and changed direction, avoiding the opponent's pus attack.
At the same time, he ducked out of the way and arrived at Hyena Queen's side, which was difficult to take care of due to his broken leg.
Tiger Fiend Fist·Bone-Breaking Hammer!
His fist carried a fierce aura, like a tiger probing its claws, and hit Hyena Queen's soft waist and abdomen hard!
"Bang!!!"
The fist smashed into the defeated leather like a heavy hammer, making a dull and heart-stopping sound!
The terrifying power penetrated the body and raged wildly in Hyena Queen's abdominal cavity. It not only broke several ribs, but also shook its internal organs into a mess.
Its huge body was blown away like a rag bag, and it hit a thick tree hard. Blood foam mixed with internal organs overflowed from its mouth and nose. Its scarlet eyes lost all their sparkle in an instant, and they died on the spot!
After the death of the strongest leader, the remaining three advanced hyenas are no match for Chen Mochuan.
Their proud claws and bites are basically unable to cause effective damage to Chen Mochuan who has tough skin and Mastery Neutralizing Force's unloading force, and even his defense is difficult to break.
The corrosive ichor attack could not hit at all in front of the prepared Chen Mochuan.
Chen Mochuan is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, or a mountain collapsing, or Tiger Aura. Every time the fist falls, it is accompanied by the sound of cracking bones and the miserable howl of hyenas.
Soon, the three advanced hyenas were killed by him one by one with short whines, and fell into a pool of blood.
And because the whole process from Chen Mochuan's sudden attack, to the killing of Hyena Queen, to the elimination of the three advanced hyenas, happened too quickly and suddenly, the six unadvanced hyena soldiers did not fully react from their panic until now.
Seeing that the four strongest "adults" in the group were all killed in an instant, they were immediately frightened out of their wits, whimpering in panic, and turned around and ran away without any will to fight.
But Chen Mochuan has no intention of letting them go. Now that he has taken action, he must eradicate them.
His feet Thunder-Striding Step spread out again, and his figure was like the wind, moving around quickly.
"Poof! Poof! Poof!----"
The muffled sounds of fists and feet hitting flesh were heard one after another. In just a few breaths, all six hyenas killed them, even those who escaped twenty meters away were not spared.
From the time Chen Mochuan showed up to make a surprise attack, to the end of the battle, when the group of Putrid Hyena were "annihilated", the whole process took less than half a minute.
