Temporary Mission

The news that Luo Feng had been recruited by the Limit Martial Arts Hall in advance had already spread like wildfire throughout the circle of prospective Martial Artists.

Luo Feng was well aware of the young beauty's intentions as she approached him to strike up a conversation.

Although one could not directly help others kill monsters in Monster Town, it was perfectly acceptable for a stronger person to protect someone weaker if they were in the same squad.

Furthermore, if she could truly establish a good relationship with Luo Feng now, it would be extremely beneficial for her future.

Out of the 1,680 people this year, only three had been recruited in advance by the Limit Martial Arts Hall and the Thunder Martial Arts Hall!

Every one of these prospective Martial Artists knew that these three individuals would undoubtedly have extraordinary futures.

"Madman, not bad. A beauty is already throwing herself at you so quickly. Beauties among Martial Artists are quite rare, so you'd better seize the opportunity."

Yang Wu, standing nearby and witnessing this scene, whispered to Luo Feng.

However, with the keen hearing of a Martial Artist, the young beauty naturally heard every word of this remark.

"Luo Feng, Luo Feng."

Just as Luo Feng was feeling somewhat speechless, a voice called out from the distance; it was Wu Tong, the chief instructor of the Yangzhou Limit Hall.

"Uncle Wu."

Luo Feng stopped what he was doing, greeted Yang Wu, and immediately ran over without even glancing at the young beauty.

For the past month, Luo Feng had been living in the Bright Moon Residential Quarter, so he had naturally grown very close to the chief instructor, Wu Tong, who also resided there.

"Luo Feng, come with me. The director wants to see you."

Wu Tong said, leading the way, and Luo Feng hurriedly followed.

Soon, inside a quiet little building, Luo Feng saw Zhuge Tao, one of the four giants of the Jiangnan City Limit Hall.

There were also a few other people beside him.

"Director."

Luo Feng called out.

"Mm, Luo Feng, don't be so formal. Find a seat."

Zhuge Tao, dressed in a pitch-black combat suit that shimmered with faint silver specks, said with a light smile.

"Zhuge, is this the Luo Feng your Limit Martial Arts Hall recruited in advance? I don't see how he's any better than our Thunder Martial Arts Hall's Wan Dong."

Opposite Zhuge Tao sat a burly man wearing a dark purple combat suit.

"Our Thunder Martial Arts Hall recruited two people in advance this year—one with extremely strong physical fitness, and the other a genius with firearms."

The burly man looked at the two young men beside him with a hint of pride.

"My name is Wan Dong."

"My name is Ma Xiao."

Upon hearing the burly man mention them, the two young men immediately stood up to introduce themselves.

"Luo Feng."

Luo Feng offered only two simple words, nodded at Zhuge Tao, and then sat down.

"Luo Feng!"

Wan Dong suddenly spoke up, his eyes burning as he looked at Luo Feng.

"Do you have the guts to compete? Let's see who can get the highest score in tonight's actual combat assessment for Martial Artists!"

Luo Feng glanced at Wan Dong, feeling that this kind of prideful rivalry was childish and offered no real benefits. Just as he was about to refuse:

[Ding: Temporary mission issued. Obtain first place in the actual combat assessment for Martial Artists. Reward: 10 experience points.]

"Hmm, it actually triggered a temporary mission, and there's a ten-point reward. Not bad."

One had to know that a prospective Martial Artist only needed 9 experience points to advance. Converting that, one experience point was equivalent to an increase of 100 kilograms of force; ten points meant an increase of 1,000 kilograms of force.

"Fine."

Luo Feng changed his mind and accepted the challenge directly.

Since the game system was likely to provide rewards for killing monsters, and with the temporary mission on top of that, Luo Feng naturally didn't mind competing with this Wan Dong.

In any case, he was certain to win, and he wouldn't lose face for the Limit Martial Arts Hall.

"Good, you've got guts."

Seeing Luo Feng agree, Wan Dong couldn't help but think a little higher of him.

Zhuge Tao and the burly man from the Thunder Martial Arts Hall both laughed at the sight.

"Zhuge, these little guys are all young and hot-blooded. This is getting interesting. I hope your Limit Martial Arts Hall doesn't lose too miserably."

"Hehe~~~"

Zhuge Tao only chuckled, leaving everything unsaid.

What a joke. He didn't even dare to disclose Luo Feng's information to the people from the Thunder Martial Arts Hall for fear of them poaching him. A month ago, Luo Feng's punch force had already reached over 5,000 kilograms, and it had likely increased even more since then. How could he possibly lose a Martial Artist assessment?

At this moment, Zhuge Tao glanced downstairs and, seeing that it was about time, spoke up.

"Let's go too; the Martial Artist actual combat assessment is about to begin!"

Half an hour later.

Led by soldiers, 1,680 prospective Martial Artists arrived at the outskirts of a small town. It was already dusk.

"Roar~~"

"Hiss~~"

Various heart-stopping, monstrous cries drifted out from the town. The perimeter of this Monster Town was enclosed by barbed wire, and a large number of soldiers patrolled the area, holding firearms.

"Everyone."

A booming voice reached the ears of every prospective Martial Artist as an officer at the front of the military formation called out.

"Inside Monster Town are only the lowest-level H-grade monsters.

This actual combat assessment follows the same rules as in the past!

It will start promptly at 6:30 tonight.

The assessment will end at 6:30 tomorrow morning!

The more monsters you kill, the more points you earn.

The top sixty percent in points will pass, while the bottom forty percent will all be eliminated.

Remember, prospective Martial Artists are forbidden from killing each other. All your activities are under surveillance, and violators will be executed on the spot!"

The officer's voice turned cold.

"In other words, out of you 1,680 people, 1,008 will pass, and 672 will be eliminated!"

The prospective Martial Artists below couldn't help but whisper among themselves. Many who were participating in the assessment for the first time hadn't expected such a high elimination rate of 40 percent.

"Alright, all prospective Martial Artists, move out and enter Monster Town."

With a wave of the officer's hand, the 1,680 prospective Martial Artists surged into Monster Town like a raging tide.

"Brother Yang, you want to venture through this Monster Town all by yourself?"

After entering Monster Town, Luo Feng had intended to protect Yang Wu for a while, as his strength was indeed a bit lacking, having just barely passed the threshold for prospective Martial Artists.

He planned to wait until Yang Wu got used to fighting monsters before leaving.

However, Yang Wu had taken the initiative to suggest they split up.

"Madman, this Martial Artist actual combat assessment isn't just an assessment; more importantly, it's a test of one's courage!

In the future, when you truly enter dangerous zones alone, the dangers you encounter will be ten or a hundred times greater than this.

If I need your help even in this Monster Town, what will happen later on?"

Luo Feng sensed Yang Wu's determination, and what he said made perfect sense.

"You're right, Brother Yang. Take care of yourself then."

"Mn. Madman, even though you're strong, human defense can't compare to that of monsters. You need to be careful too."

Yang Wu reminded him.

"Don't worry."

Luo Feng nodded with a smile.

"Alright, see you outside the town at daybreak tomorrow."

After saying this, Yang Wu carefully scanned his surroundings, then with a whoosh, he sprinted away.

Luo Feng also quickly darted toward the depths of Monster Town.
