Level-2 Spear Bamboo!

The sun had begun to set, staining the entire Monster Town orange with its fading light.

The town was still somewhat hot.

Xiao Yang could also smell a faint, fishy stench.

He casually chose a direction and walked off.

Although he continued to cautiously observe 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, he would be fine as long as they did not strike places like his eyes.

After all, Genetic Origin Energy did not merely enhance 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.

His eyesight, hearing, sense of smell, and so on had all improved as well.

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

He instinctively looked in that direction.

Behind a dilapidated 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 starving for several days, its eyes shining green as it watched him.

Seeing that Xiao Yang had noticed it, the Tiger Mastiff stopped hiding.

It cautiously emerged from the ruined house.

The setting sun shone over its body, casting a long shadow behind it.

Before long, hunger overcame reason.

It lunged straight at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang's expression remained calm.

Although the Tiger Mastiff looked extremely ferocious, he knew that as long as he was careful, it could not cause him any harm.

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

That ordinary grown man could easily kick it away.

Xiao Yang was the same.

He thrust out his spear.

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

Xiao Yang's thrust was extremely precise.

Pfft!

The spear pierced 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.

Looking at 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 a little sick.

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 injured one was, the higher their score ranking would be.

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 by one.

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

He no longer felt sick.

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

There was no need to keep killing monsters.

There was also no need to imitate Luo Feng and train his movement techniques during the Martial Artist Combat Assessment.

These monsters had a hard time hurting him, so he felt no sense of danger. They were unsuitable for training his movement techniques.

He simply sat quietly inside the small building and waited.

Soon, once midnight passed, Xiao Yang habitually opened the game interface and used his thoughts to check the daily items, 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 items 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 that can be used as a spear. When used to practice ordinary spear techniques, it can increase one's insight into spear techniques.]

Seeing the description behind Level-2 Spear Bamboo, Xiao Yang could not help freezing.

Increase insight into spear techniques?!

There was actually a crop like that.

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

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

Because Xiao Yang had previously unlocked Level-1 Watermelon, he now had more than eight hundred thousand Copper Coins, though not yet a million.

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

Therefore, 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.

The only thing was that Xiao Yang was hesitating over whether to 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 serious thought, Xiao Yang still decided to buy it!

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

If they did not, then 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!

Very soon, the Copper Coins in the wallet on the game interface dropped by eight hundred thousand under Xiao Yang's pained gaze.

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

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

This bamboo looked very slender.

Its tip was pointed and looked extremely sharp.

Unfortunately, he was still in Monster Town and could not take it out to 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 notification sounded, the 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 to leave Monster Town.

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

Xiao Yang went to the back and obediently joined the line. 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 also received the news that he had passed the Combat Assessment.
