First Battle, Frontal Slaughter

Seeing Zhuge Tao smile without answering, the Burly Man felt like ants were crawling all over his heart, leaving him thoroughly restless!

His eyes rolled, and he suddenly called out to Wan Dong and Ma Xiao in the distance, "Wan Dong, Ma Xiao, come over here!"

Wan Dong and Ma Xiao had just changed into their Combat Suits. Hearing their supervisor call them, they paused in surprise before running over.

"Supervisor, what did you need us for?"

The Burly Man said with a smile:

"This is Mr. Zhuge Tao, supervisor of the Limit Martial Arts Dojo. I heard him say that their Wuguan also recruited two Geniuses early, so I called you over to get acquainted with them."

As he spoke, the Burly Man pointed at Luo Feng and Luo Xia in the distance. "Those two. Mr. Zhuge Tao says these kids are very talented..."

Wan Dong and Ma Xiao first greeted Zhuge Tao, then looked in the direction their supervisor indicated.

At that moment, Luo Xia and Luo Feng were talking about something, both with smiles on their faces.

Wan Dong, whose expression was rather gloomy, pondered briefly before saying, "Since they're brothers from the Limit Martial Arts Dojo, we should indeed get acquainted. Supervisor, we'll go over now."

"Ha ha ha, go on," the Burly Man said with a laugh.

Zhuge Tao glanced at him and said flatly, "Wang Heng, you really are bored."

The Burly Man, Wang Heng, smiled.

"Can't be helped. You stirred up my curiosity. As a supervisor, I can't very well lower myself to question those two little fellows, so I could only send Wan Dong and the others."

Luo Xia was discussing what would happen after they entered the Combat Assessment area with his eldest brother, Luo Feng, when two strange young men suddenly approached.

They seemed strange because neither Luo Xia nor Luo Feng knew them, yet they appeared to be coming specifically for the Two Brothers.

"You're Luo Feng and Luo Xia?"

The gloomy young man who walked over first had a Purple Birthmark on his face. He looked at Luo Feng and Luo Xia, his eyes filled with eager excitement—

"Do you dare compete? In tonight's Warrior Practical Assessment, let's see whose points can take first place!"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng were both stunned. They exchanged a glance, then looked at the gloomy young man in speechless disbelief.

Luo Xia asked, "Who are you?"

"Hello, we're from Thunder Martial Hall. I'm Ma Xiao, and he's Wan Dong. We heard that you're both Geniuses recruited early by the Limit Martial Arts Dojo, so we came over to get acquainted."

Only then did the handsome young man beside the gloomy youth speak with a smile.

Luo Xia said blandly, "That doesn't sound like the attitude of people here to get acquainted."

Ma Xiao continued smiling at his words.

Compared to Wan Dong's gloominess and coldness, Ma Xiao looked like the sort of smiling tiger whose grin made people feel as though they were basking in a spring breeze.

Wan Dong said at that moment, "What? Are you scared?"

Luo Feng frowned. "Scared of what?"

Wan Dong snorted. "If you're not scared, then compete with us! Let's see who's more of a Genius."

Luo Xia curled his lip. "Boring."

Luo Feng shook his head. "We're not interested."

Wan Dong looked at the Luo Xia brothers, wanting to say something else, but at that moment, an assembly announcement sounded from the Military Region loudspeakers—

"All Quasi-Warriors, please gather in the square. We will soon depart for Monster Town for this Combat Assessment!"

The time had come.

They were about to set off for Monster Town for this Combat Assessment.

Wan Dong glanced at Luo Xia and Luo Feng before finally leaving with Ma Xiao.

Not far away, Wang Heng, who had watched the entire exchange, raised his brows slightly and said with a smile:

"Zhuge, those two little fellows from your Limit Martial Arts Dojo are quite steady-tempered. They didn't get hotheaded the moment someone provoked them! Ha ha, if they do well in this assessment, I'll personally recruit them!"

Zhuge Tao glared at him. "Get lost!"

Wang Heng laughed and shook his head. "You're no fun at all. It was just a joke!"

Led by Soldiers, Luo Xia and the group of Quasi-Warriors arrived outside a small town.

The town was surrounded by Barbed Wire, while numerous Soldiers carrying firearms patrolled the area.

"Everyone—"

An Officer stood atop a dilapidated Three-story Small Building and called out loudly to Luo Xia and the others:

"This Combat Assessment follows the same rules as before! It begins at six thirty tonight and ends at six thirty tomorrow morning!"

"The more monsters you kill, the more points you earn!"

"For every monster you kill, cut off its left ear as proof."

"Remember, Quasi-Warriors are forbidden from killing one another. All your actions are under surveillance. Violators will be shot on sight!"

"Among you 1,681 Quasi-Warriors, the top 60% in points will receive Warrior qualifications! The bottom 40% will be deemed failures and must wait for the next Warrior Practical Assessment."

"Now, all of you!"

The Officer's gaze sharpened as he shouted, "Move out! Enter Monster Town!"

Following the crowd, Luo Xia charged into Monster Town. Behind him, the enormous iron gate slowly closed with a thunderous rumble.

The Warrior Practical Assessment had officially begun!

"Eldest brother, what do you think? Should we split up as we discussed before?"

Walking down a ruined street in Monster Town, Luo Xia vigilantly scanned his surroundings as he asked Luo Feng beside him.

"Split up."

Luo Feng nodded. "The monsters in Monster Town are all the weakest H-Grade Monsters, perfect for training. If we stay together, we'd really be bullying the monsters."

Monsters were divided into Beast Soldiers, Beast Generals, and Lord-level monsters.

They corresponded to the Warrior ranks: Warriors, Generals, and War Gods.

An H-Grade Monster was a Beginner Beast Soldier, corresponding to a Beginner Warrior.

"Then we'll separate here."

Luo Xia said.

They had reached a fork in the road.

Luo Feng nodded and instructed his younger brother, "Alright, let's split up here. Xia, be careful! Don't force yourself!"

Although the town contained only the weakest monsters, even a pet cat could kill a human. If he let down his guard too much, danger could still arise.

"I know. Eldest brother, you be careful too!"

Luo Xia nodded and ran down the street to the left. He was so fast that within a few breaths, he vanished from Luo Feng's Line of Sight.

Night fell.

Monster Town sank into darkness. Although large searchlights shone along the outskirts, the central area of Monster Town remained pitch-black.

This was also the most dangerous part of the town.

Luo Xia held a Long Sword in his hand and wore a Hexagonal Shield on his arm as he slowly walked through the town streets.

Monster roars rang out from time to time, making the night even more terrifying.

"According to the intelligence I received earlier, although this town has many monsters, they mainly fall into three types.

They are the Shadow Cats, which rely on speed among feline monsters; Iron-Fur Boars, which possess immense strength and defense; and Tibetan Mastiff Hounds, whose overall capabilities are exceptionally formidable among canine monsters."

Luo Xia strolled along. He looked relaxed, but he remained alert at every moment, all his Muscles kept in a state ready to erupt at any time!

Awooo—

Suddenly, a Beast roar sounded, followed by the appearance of three Tibetan Mastiff Hounds.

These Tibetan Mastiff Hounds looked like little tigers. Their Muscles bulged all over their bodies, sharp teeth bared from their mouths and dripping with saliva, their faces savage and terrifying!

"Awooo—!"

The three Tibetan Mastiff Hounds had come specifically for Luo Xia. They made no unnecessary movements. Almost the instant they burst from the darkness, they roared and pounced at him!

The Tibetan Mastiff Hounds were extremely fast. Their powerful limbs clawed at the ground, leaving deep scratches in the hard cement.

Within a few breaths, the three Tibetan Mastiff Hounds rushed before Luo Xia. One leaped up like a tiger, its claws swiping at his head.

The other two Tibetan Mastiff Hounds attacked Luo Xia's lower body.

Seeing one Tibetan Mastiff Hound about to rip into his crotch, Luo Xia's heart skipped a beat as he cursed inwardly, That bastard's ancestor was definitely a hunting dog!

Faced with danger, Luo Xia advanced instead of retreating.

As the Tibetan Mastiff Hound bit at him, he tilted the Hexagonal Shield in his hand, blocking the attack from the hound above.

Immediately afterward, he fiercely kicked out. The Tibetan Mastiff Hound lunging at his crotch had no time to react before Luo Xia's kick struck its head.

A miserable howl rang out.

The Tibetan Mastiff Hound kicked in the head flew away like a rag doll and crashed to the ground nearby. Its body twitched as it took in more air than it expelled.

At the same time, the Long Sword in Luo Xia's hand carved a strange arc. Sword light flashed like moonlight, and the Tibetan Mastiff Hound biting at his calf had its throat sliced open, blood spraying everywhere!

After dealing with two Tibetan Mastiff Hounds, Luo Xia spun, sweeping the Long Sword in his hand upward.

The Tibetan Mastiff Hound knocked aside by the Hexagonal Shield had no time to evade. Its lower abdomen was split open by the Long Sword, and all kinds of organs spilled out amid a shower of blood!

"Huff..."

Luo Xia slowly exhaled, looking at the three fallen Tibetan Mastiff Hounds as he steadied his breathing.
