William Edison

Through his experience of slaying the high-level Beast General Level Fire-Scaled Trident Boar, Luo Zhe realized that no high-level beast general is easy to deal with, especially a monster like the Fire-Scaled Trident Boar, which ranks first among pig-type monsters. Even though it is not as strong and fast as Luo Zhe, its high-level Beast General Level nerve reflexes still allow it to make the best response when faced with a crisis.

However, in the time that followed, Luo Zhe did not find another opportunity as good as before to fight a high-level beast general one-on-one.

As dusk fell, Luo Zhe finally found an opportunity to kill another lone, Intermediate Beast General Blade-Edged Goat.

"Pfft!"

The War Blade was pulled from the corpse of the Blade-Edged Goat lying on the ground, blood flowing everywhere. A thick, pungent smell of blood entered Luo Zhe 'Luo Zhe nose, causing him to frown.

He quickly cut off two ram horns, glanced around, chose the alley on the right, and left the crime scene without looking back.

William Edith, an elite Fighter from the European Union countries, was recruited into Elite Training Camp in September 2055 due to his exceptional talent in swordsmanship.

At this moment, he was engaged in a fierce battle with a high-level Beast General Level Blade-Edged Goat on a wide street.

The sword strikes were seemingly divinely inspired, leaving one wound after another on the Blade-Edged Goat's body without any flaws, making the already irritable Blade-Edged Goat even more enraged.

But William's Longsword was aimed at vital points with every strike, forcing the Blade-Edged Goat to dodge repeatedly, leaving him completely at William's mercy.

High-level monsters are highly intelligent, especially those that reach the Beast General Level, whose intelligence is almost comparable to that of a normal adult.

Having been repeatedly intimidated by William's swordplay, the Blade-Edged Goat gradually lost his will to fight. Seizing the opportunity, he pushed off the ground with all four hooves, nimbly changed direction, and disappeared into the alley to his left without looking back.

Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, William's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed his Longsword and was about to give chase.

As a result, just as the Blade-Edged Goat was about to enter the alley, it pushed off the wall with all four hooves and charged straight at William with its sharp horns.

William immediately stopped in his tracks, his Longsword held horizontally in front of his chest, poised to strike when the Blade-Edged Goat's momentum waned. However—this was merely a feint!

Just as its body was about to collide with William, Blade-Edged Goat suddenly did a 90-degree spin in mid-air without any object to gain leverage, then plunged into the ground and pushed off, narrowly missing William.

"Shit!"

Now William was completely out of touch and could only watch the taillights of the Blade-Edged Goat disappear into the distance.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, in the alleyway in the direction the Blade-Edged Goat was heading, a cold, arcing light flashed from a corner. Before the Blade-Edged Goat could react, its throat was slit with lightning speed.

"Boom--" The high-level Beast General Level Blade-Edged Goat, whose life force had already dissipated, continued to run for more than ten meters due to inertia, and then crashed to the ground with a rumble. It slid along the ground for several meters and then crashed into an old, thick wall, causing the entire wall to shake before finally coming to a stop.

At this moment, Luo Zhe leisurely walked out of the alley, walked to the body of the Blade-Edged Goat, cut off the two sharp horns worth 100 battle points, and put them into his backpack.

"Hey, hey, hey, Man!"

The sound from behind made Luo Zhe, who was about to turn around and leave, stop and look back.

A young man with slightly curly blond hair, looking resentful and indignant, said, "Hey, friend, this is my prey! You stole my prey!" His slightly awkward Mandarin made it sound like a foreigner speaking Mandarin.

In Hongning Base City, the common language is Chinese. Even the War God teacher, and even the Inspector from other continents, communicate in Chinese. Therefore, Luo Zhe didn't find it strange.

"Friend, you say I stole your prey? What proof do you have?" Luo Zhe retorted righteously, "This was clearly a monster running freely, which I happened to encounter and killed with a single strike."

"You were at least tens of meters away from that monster just now. From any angle, it couldn't possibly be considered your prey."

Are you kidding me? Why didn't you say it was your prey when Blade-Edged Goat was still lively and energetic? You only came to say it was yours after it was already in your bag.

These foreigners are so unreasonable!

William's Chinese was only so-so, and after being rebuked by Luo Zhe, he was at a loss for words. He could only blurt out in both his native Chinese and his quarry, "The quarry is mine! You stole my quarry!"

"..." At this moment, Luo Zhe deeply felt the frustration of not understanding foreign languages. "What are you saying? This is my prey, not yours!"

"Rat horns, mine, mine!"

William saw that Luo Zhe didn't understand him at all and was gesturing with his hands and feet, as if trying to prove that the two ram horns in Luo Zhe's backpack were his spoils.

Luo Zhe held out his palm, signaling the other to shut up. William obediently stopped talking. "I'll say it again, this is my prey! You weren't strong enough, and it got away, so it's no longer your prey!"

It took William a while to process what Luo Zhe meant. He pointed at Luo Zhe and rattled off a string of words that Luo Zhe didn't understand at all.

He frowned, waved his hand, and said, "I can't be bothered with you." Then he turned to leave.

"STOP!" William gasped for breath, reaching out to grab Luo Zhe.

Her brow furrowed even deeper, and she impatiently shook off William's hand. "Speak quickly if you have something to say. I'll say it again, man, that's not your prey!"

William caught his breath, straightened up, and solemnly declared, "I, William Edith, challenge you!"

William?

Luo Zhe muttered to himself, "This name is just like 'Alexander' from Soviet Russia, 'David' from America, and 'Wang Wei' and 'Zhang Wei' from Huaxia —names that are all too familiar." But that wasn't the point. Luo Zhe noticed William's choice of words. "Challenge!"

"Trainees killing each other will result in expulsion from the Training Camp. I have no interest in your madness." Luo Zhe looked at William warily, as if he would quickly move away at the slightest move from him.

William Edith reached up to wipe his hair, but upon noticing the monster's blood on his hands, he immediately showed disgust and solemnly said, "We can go to the Challenge Room and have a points-based contest!"

"Challenge Room?" Luo Zhe immediately recalled the 'Trainee Instructions' he had read. This Challenge Room was a product of Ancient Civilization Ruins. After entering the Challenge Room, the two of them would put on Consciousness Sensor and enter a 'virtual space,' where they would then engage in a life-or-death battle!

Generally, these kinds of battles involve betting!
