Recruitment Strategies from All Sides

Liu Yun left his Machine Race clone behind, a move born of necessity; if the clone were not there, the entire base would cease to function.

I must prepare the rare materials faster. Once this base is fully upgraded, the Machine Race clone will be able to return to my side!

Liu Yun left the area with great caution, then walked through the Monster Town as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.

On both sides of the streets in the Monster Town, shops were tightly shuttered with broken doors and windows, and steel bars protruded from the walls. Even the stone path beneath Liu Yun's feet was covered in cracks, where weeds and vines grew stubbornly through the gaps, only to be trampled into shreds by the monsters.

His body had been strengthened once more, and Liu Yun acted with great initiative. Whenever he encountered a monster, he would immediately take the offensive. With his Micro-level movement technique, the monsters couldn't even touch him once.

He went on a killing spree, slaughtering hundreds of monsters. For every monster that appeared within his field of vision, he would use his Psychic Power to snatch up a steel bar and launch it like a dart.

He didn't even need to move a muscle for the monsters to meet their end. At the same time, he even subdued an Iron-Haired Wild Boar, riding it as he roamed throughout the Monster Town.

However, this was only Liu Yun, whose strength was formidable; others were not so lucky.

Casualties soon appeared among the prospective fighters taking the exam. The corpses of the candidates lay scattered along the roadside, their faces etched with unwillingness and fear. Their bodies were twisted from the violent attacks of the monsters, appearing almost grotesque.

This world is cruel after all. If I didn't have such powerful strength, the one lying on the ground right now would be me!

Riding the massive Iron-Haired Wild Boar, Liu Yun sighed with emotion, waiting quietly for the hunt to end the next day. As the sky gradually brightened, the sound of a horn began to echo.

"Woo—woo—woo—woo~ Doo-woo-woo-woo~"

All the fighters gathered at the entrance of the town amidst the sound of the horn to hand over the left ears of the monsters to the military officers.

"Four monster left ears. Leg injury, bruising on the abdomen—call the medical team. Next!"

"Two monster left ears. No injuries. Next!"

The military personnel continued to register the results, and the prospective fighters gathered at the entrance, discussing everyone's harvest.

"Look, it's Liu Yun!"

"His strength is terrifying! The monsters here are as obedient as puppies in his hands."

"Liu Yun is a Psychic; we can't compare to him at all. It's truly frightening. I even saw him flying."

When Liu Yun appeared, the crowd looked at him as if he were a deity. Liu Yun took out a large sack and tossed it directly in front of the officer.

"These are the monster left ears I obtained. Go ahead and count them!"

As he spoke, the officer drew a steel blade and sliced the sack open, and a steady stream of monster left ears spilled out.

After a careful count, there were exactly 241 monster left ears. Everyone was stunned; he was undoubtedly the top performer here.

Luo Feng stood to the side holding his own bag, which contained 36 monster left ears, feeling a bit uneasy.

Sigh, Brother Liu Yun is truly amazing! I hope I can have that kind of prestige in the future.

He felt a sense of admiration for Liu Yun. Although he was quite capable himself, compared to Liu Yun, he felt lacking in every aspect.

But at this moment, the Iron-Haired Wild Boar behind Liu Yun saw the scene and was deeply shocked. Feeling that this place was dangerous, it let out a howl and turned to run!

"Awoo!"

The wild boar's sudden outburst caught the prospective fighters off guard. Having let their guard down, they were hit by the boar's charge and had no power to fight back in that instant.

"You beast, I thought about sparing your life!"

Liu Yun was furious. He raised his left hand, and a powerful surge of Psychic Power instantly bound the Iron-Haired Wild Boar in mid-air. With a single squeeze of his hand, the boar's internal organs were crushed into a pulp, and it was tossed aside, lifeless.

The surrounding prospective fighters were terrified, but seeing Liu Yun's incredible ability—that his Psychic Power could actually control a living creature—they were left in awe.

"My god! That's so cool!"

"He's practically invincible! Can't Psychics only control inanimate objects?"

"Not necessarily. Some Psychics can use secret techniques to seize living things. This just shows that Brother Liu Yun's skills have reached an unimaginable level!"

"..."

Listening to the chatter, Liu Yun smiled faintly. He certainly wouldn't allow his "mount" to hurt anyone. The reason he could lift the Iron-Haired Wild Boar with his power was that he was cultivating the Psychic Power provided by his Machine Race clone.

Earth was too backward, which was why there was a belief that Psychic Power couldn't control living things. In reality, some clever Psychics on Earth had already found ways to master other life forms.

Liu Yun turned and walked away, no longer thinking about the test. It was clear he couldn't possibly fail. He watched as Luo Feng finished his assessment, shared a smile with him, and they briefly discussed their experiences over the past two days.

But those with ulterior motives could no longer hold back. Just as Liu Yun was laughing and talking with Luo Feng, an anxious voice called out.

"Liu Yun, I am Zhuge Tao, the director of the Limit Dojo! Stop chatting! Come back with me now!"

"Congratulations on recovering your strength and awakening as a Psychic. On behalf of the Limit Dojo, I formally invite you to return!"

"We have prepared a brand-new contract for you. If you are willing, you can immediately become a senior instructor at our Limit Dojo, or even a regional manager! We can provide you with 500 million in startup capital, and we will provide the subsequent parts of the Thunder God Blade Technique for free! As long as you are willing to stay with the Limit Dojo."

A chubby, middle-aged man pushed through the crowd, escorted by fighters. He was lean in stature but his eyes were extremely sharp. Wu Tong, the chief instructor of the Limit Dojo, followed behind him, looking exceptionally submissive.

The words caused an uproar. No one expected the Limit Dojo to come poaching at the test site, and with such a heavy price.

Zhuge Tao was anxious. The previous compensation work had been handled poorly, leaving Liu Yun to fend for himself while severely injured. Now, he had to get Liu Yun to agree to return to the dojo before anyone else could make an offer.

If things went well, the Limit Dojo would gain a Psychic with a limitless future—a future War God. Zhuge Tao felt he had to act first to create a fait accompli.

However, a fait accompli was useless now. Liu Yun didn't care about the past, which wasn't exactly filled with fond memories. He only wanted to upgrade his base as quickly as possible, build a Starship, and break out of Earth!
