Victory

"Awesome!" Cao Bing let out a long shout as he stood amid a pile of monster corpses, having slain the last Tiger Mastiff Hound.

A passing Quasi-Warrior who happened to witness the scene turned pale with fright and immediately fled.

Too terrifying!

He knew Quasi-Warriors were forbidden from killing one another during the test, but he did not dare count on it!

The man before him was a peerless fiend! What if he disregarded the rules and hacked him down with a blade?

Cao Bing was stunned when he saw the Quasi-Warrior turn and run.

What was going on?

Was I really that scary?

Cao Bing puzzledly rubbed his chin.

"Ugh! I'm covered in blood!"

After a fierce battle, Cao Bing himself was unharmed, but it was unavoidable that his clothes had been stained red by monster blood.

"Forget it. I'll find somewhere to rest for a while. It's only been three hours, and there's still a long time until six-thirty tomorrow morning."

Cao Bing chuckled, put away the Tiger Mastiff Hounds' ears, and strode off.

The night passed quickly. As the sky began to brighten, a piercing horn sounded over Monster Town. "Ooo... ooo..."

"Time's up! All Quasi-Warriors, report to the town exit immediately!"

"Ah, time's up already!" In a corner of the town, Cao Bing stretched lazily.

He had figured his points were enough and found a relatively safe place to slack off.

These low-level Beast Soldiers could no longer provide much training for Cao Bing, unless he encountered another pack of monsters like before.

But that was basically impossible.

So Cao Bing lost interest as well.

At the entrance to Monster Town, Quasi-Warriors emerged one after another. Nearly every Martial Artist had bloodstains on his body.

Cao Bing looked around among the newly arrived Quasi-Warriors.

He quickly spotted Luo Feng in the crowd.

At the same time, some Quasi-Warriors recognized Cao Bing as well.

"Cao Bing from Limitless Martial Arts is out too!"

"Where? Where?"

"Do you think he can surpass Luo Feng?"

"Probably not! Luo Feng killed a full fifty-one monsters!"

"We'll know soon enough!"

While countless Quasi-Warriors were discussing the matter, another commotion arose among those still lining up behind them.

"Wan Dong is here! Wan Dong is here!"

"I heard that before the assessment, Wan Dong from Lightning Martial Arts and Cao Bing from Limitless Martial Arts made a bet over who would take first place in points!" said a well-informed Quasi-Warrior, showing off his knowledge.

"Really?"

"Of course! This is going to be a good show!"

Since Wan Dong and Cao Bing were both prominent figures among the Quasi-Warriors, Wan Dong soon walked up to Cao Bing.

"Cao Bing!" Wan Dong's expression was icy as he stared at Cao Bing. "Just admit defeat. First place in this practical assessment will definitely be mine!"

"Oh?" Cao Bing smiled noncommittally. "We'll see."

Honestly, if not for wanting to attract the attention of Limitless Martial Arts' upper management, he would have had no interest whatsoever in such a meaningless contest.

"Fine. I'll let you see the gap between us!"

With that, Wan Dong passed Cao Bing and walked up to the soldier overseeing the inspection, taking off the backpack on his back.

At the same time, he glanced back at Cao Bing, only to find him looking at him with a teasing expression.

"Hmph!" Wan Dong snorted angrily.

"Watch closely!"

As he spoke, Wan Dong opened his backpack. The beast ears inside spilled onto the table with a clatter, piling up into a small mountain.

"Damn!"

"How many is that? It looks like more than twice as many as Luo Feng's!"

"..."

Wan Dong's haul instantly shocked everyone present. Even the inspecting soldier could not help giving Wan Dong an extra look.

"Wan Dong, sixty-nine!"

"Whoa!"

The moment Wan Dong's result was announced, the entire crowd erupted.

Voices of envy, jealousy, and admiration rang out without end.

"Well? Do you still have confidence now?" Wan Dong asked with a proud smile.

Cao Bing raised an eyebrow. Wan Dong's result truly surprised him a little.

It seemed that in the original story, since Luo Feng had not wanted to compete with him, Wan Dong had not gone all out!

Still, it was fine. He had already made some preparations because he had been worried about unexpected developments.

Walking forward, Cao Bing placed the backpack on his back onto the table.

When Cao Bing had been carrying it earlier, it had not seemed like much. But once the backpack was opened, a heavy stench of blood rushed out.

"Damn! He's a ruthless one too!"

Although Cao Bing's result had not yet been announced, that bloody stench was enough to make everyone clearly realize he was not someone to provoke.

"Cao Bing, eighty-four!"

The inspecting soldier took the beast ears out of Cao Bing's backpack one by one before finally announcing the result.

"How is that possible?!"

Before the soldier's voice had even faded, Wan Dong had already shouted!

His face was filled with disbelief.

"Don't forget the million."

Cao Bing shook his head and reached out to pat Wan Dong on the shoulder. Ignoring Wan Dong's utter disbelief and everyone else's astonishment, he headed straight toward Luo Feng.

"Brother Cao! Amazing!" Luo Feng said in amazement.

"Get out of here. Don't mock me! You didn't even go all out, did you? I saw you using monsters to train your movement technique earlier, so I didn't disturb you." Cao Bing said with a half-serious, half-joking smile.

"Hehe, nothing gets past you, Brother Cao!" Luo Feng scratched the back of his head and gave an embarrassed smile.

Yet inwardly, he was shocked. Even though he had been training his movement technique, he had kept part of his attention on his surroundings, but he had still failed to notice Cao Bing.

It seemed this friend and classmate of his was even stronger than he had estimated. He wondered whether he could defeat Cao Bing with his spiritual telekinesis.

"Luo Feng!"

Before the two could chat further, a bearded officer walked over and interrupted them.

"He's looking for you." Cao Bing smiled and nudged Luo Feng with his shoulder.

Luo Feng gave Cao Bing an apologetic look before saying to the bearded officer, "That's me."

"Come with me. A friend wants to see you. He's in the lounge ahead." The bearded officer smiled amiably.

"Hm?" Luo Feng frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled, and could not help glancing at Cao Bing.

"Go ahead and handle your business, Luo Feng. Don't worry about me." Cao Bing said with a smile.

Naturally, he knew who wanted to see Luo Feng, but he did not stop him. After all, the other party was a senior figure from Lightning Martial Arts.

"Cao Bing!"

Before Luo Feng had even left, another middle-aged officer walked over.

"See? Someone's looking for me too." Cao Bing said jokingly when he heard his name.

"I'm here." After saying that, Cao Bing addressed the middle-aged officer.

"Cao Bing, a gentleman would like you to come with me." The middle-aged officer said with a stern expression.

"All right!" Cao Bing nodded. He could roughly guess who wanted to see him. It seemed his performance this time had caught that person's eye. His gamble had paid off.

"See you later, Luo Feng." Cao Bing said before leaving with the middle-aged officer. Luo Feng did not hesitate either. After replying, "All right," he followed the bearded officer toward the lounge.
