Level-2 Spear Bamboo!

The sun had begun to set, staining the entire Monster Town orange.

The town was still somewhat hot.

Xiao Yang could also smell a faint stench of blood.

He casually chose a direction and walked off.

Although he still cautiously observed his surroundings, Xiao Yang was not actually all that worried.

Even if he stood still and let those monsters attack him, with his current strength, as long as they did not strike places like his eyes, he would be fine.

After all, Genetic Origin Energy enhanced far more than just Xiao Yang's strength.

Genetic Origin Energy improved the physical body in every aspect.

Skin, muscles, bones, and even internal organs all underwent tremendous improvements after absorbing Genetic Origin Energy.

It even had a certain effect on the brain.

After absorbing Genetic Origin Energy, Xiao Yang could feel that his reactions had become faster, his memory had improved, and his thoughts moved more quickly as well.

His vision, hearing, sense of smell, and the like had all improved too.

Just then, Xiao Yang suddenly heard a noise from nearby.

He instinctively looked in that direction.

Behind a ruined single-story house, a Tiger Mastiff was hiding.

It stared at Xiao Yang, drool already dripping from its mouth.

It looked as though it had been hungry for days, its eyes glowing green as it watched Xiao Yang.

Seeing that Xiao Yang had noticed it, the Tiger Mastiff no longer hid.

It cautiously emerged from the ruined house.

The setting sun shone on it, casting a long shadow.

Before long, hunger overcame reason.

It lunged at Xiao Yang with startling speed.

Xiao Yang's expression remained calm.

Although the Tiger Mastiff looked incredibly ferocious, he knew that as long as he was careful, it could not harm him at all.

It was like an ordinary adult man seeing a Chihuahua pounce at him.

An ordinary adult man could kick it away with ease.

Xiao Yang was no different.

He thrust out his spear.

Because of his recent combat training with Chen Jian, he instinctively aimed for the Tiger Mastiff's eye.

Xiao Yang's thrust was extremely precise.

Pfft!

The spear drove straight through the Tiger Mastiff's eye socket and into its brain.

Xiao Yang pulled out the spear, and transparent, red, and white fluids immediately flowed out.

Seeing those things, Xiao Yang could not help feeling uncomfortable.

It was also his first time killing a living creature.

The sight still made him feel somewhat nauseated.

However, he knew this was something he had to get used to.

After confirming that there were no other monsters nearby, he slowly stepped forward and cut off the Tiger Mastiff's left ear.

This was proof that he had killed a monster and needed to bring it back.

In the Martial Artist Combat Assessment, only the top sixty percent by score could pass.

The bottom forty percent would be eliminated.

Generally speaking, killing three monsters guaranteed a pass.

Those who killed two would have to rely on luck.

If the number of monsters killed was the same, then it came down to the severity of one's injuries.

The less severely injured one was, the higher one ranked.

After putting away the Tiger Mastiff's left ear, Xiao Yang headed elsewhere to search for more monsters.

With Xiao Yang's hearing, he soon found several more monsters.

He killed them one after another.

After the first time, Xiao Yang gradually adapted over the next few kills.

He no longer felt nauseated.

After killing five monsters, he found a small building and stopped there.

There was no need to keep killing monsters.

As for following Luo Feng's example and training his movement technique during the Martial Artist Combat Assessment, that was unnecessary too.

Those monsters could hardly hurt him, so he felt no sense of danger. They were unsuitable for training his movement technique.

He simply sat quietly in the small building and waited.

Soon, once midnight had passed, Xiao Yang habitually opened the game screen and used his thoughts to check the daily goods, wanting to see what would refresh today.

Because he was in Monster Town and under someone else's surveillance, Xiao Yang controlled the game interface with his thoughts.

Very soon, the daily refreshed goods appeared before him.

[Level-1 Watermelon (2,000 Copper Coins):...]

[Level-1 Rice (1,000 Copper Coins):...]

[Ordinary Fishing Net (1,000 Copper Coins):...]

[Ordinary Iron Pickaxe (3,000 Copper Coins):...]

[Level-2 Spear Bamboo (800,000 Copper Coins): Tough material, usable as a spear. When used to practice ordinary spear techniques, it can increase spear technique comprehension.]

Seeing the description after Level-2 Spear Bamboo, Xiao Yang could not help but freeze.

It can increase spear technique comprehension?!

There was actually such a crop?

Xiao Yang had never imagined that a bamboo stalk could have such a function!

After seeing what this Level-2 Spear Bamboo could do, Xiao Yang was truly tempted.

Because Xiao Yang had previously unlocked Level-1 Watermelon, although he had not yet reached one million Copper Coins, he still had more than eight hundred thousand.

Level-1 Watermelons sold for two thousand Copper Coins, while the seeds cost only two hundred Copper Coins.

Thus, growing watermelons was far more profitable than growing rice.

After unlocking Level-1 Watermelon, Xiao Yang had kept only four plots of land for growing Level-1 Rice for himself to eat.

He planted watermelons on all the remaining land to earn money.

Therefore, he had enough money to buy the Level-2 Spear Bamboo.

Xiao Yang was simply hesitating over whether he should buy it.

He feared that after spending all his money, Enlightenment Tea Leaves might happen to refresh again a few days later.

Then he would end up in the same awkward situation as last time, able only to look at them without having the money to buy them.

However, after giving it considerable thought, Xiao Yang still decided to buy it!

If Enlightenment Tea Leaves really could refresh again in a short time, then Xiao Yang would not need to worry about the refresh chance being too low.

If they did not, he would miss out on this Level-2 Spear Bamboo.

Besides, a bird in the hand was worth two in the bush.

Rather than wait for Enlightenment Tea Leaves, he might as well secure the Level-2 Spear Bamboo first!

Having made his decision, Xiao Yang did not hesitate and bought it immediately!

Soon, on the game screen, the Copper Coins in Xiao Yang's wallet dropped by eight hundred thousand under his pained gaze.

Only a little over sixty thousand Copper Coins remained in Xiao Yang's wallet.

A two-meter-long emerald-green bamboo stalk also appeared in his storage.

The bamboo looked very thin.

Its tip was pointed and looked extremely sharp.

Unfortunately, he was still in Monster Town, so he could not take it out and test its effects.

Xiao Yang was now somewhat impatient to return home and see just how useful this spear bamboo was.

Time quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was six-thirty in the morning.

As the broadcast sounded, this Martial Artist Combat Assessment came to an end.

Xiao Yang, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes and quickly rose, heading out of Monster Town.

Several Quasi-Martial Warriors were already registering the number of monster left ears collected.

Xiao Yang went over and obediently lined up. Soon, it was his turn.

After registering, he went next door to shower and change clothes.

After resting for a while, everyone had finished registering, and Xiao Yang received word that he had passed the Combat Assessment.
