King Kong Eel
Xia Fei had no idea that he had already entered the observation list of the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall. The Dragon Ascension Conclave was a gathering of experts, and the vast majority of the geniuses in the circle were included. Just the number of experts who had become Law Emperors before the age of thirty numbered no less than fifty!
Now that all the experts with first-rate potential were in the same group as him, this had undoubtedly increased the difficulty of passing. If he wanted to stand out in this group of eight hundred, he would probably encounter a severe test.
* Splash! *
Xia Fei jumped into the cold water and swiftly headed for the depths.
Time was money. Killing one hundred King Kong Eels in an hour was just the passing mark. If he wanted to get a better result, he needed to kill as many as possible!
King Kong Eels were nicknamed the Ironhead Arrow, and they ranged from level 6 to level 9 exotic beasts. Unlike other eel species that relied on their teeth to find prey, King Kong Eels had round and hard heads, like the heads of metal hammers.
King Kong Eels coiled at the bottom of the sea like snakes, their bodies bent like a bow, ready to strike. Once they found prey, they would shoot out and use their hard heads to ram into it!
In some regions where King Kong Eels roamed, not even sturdy metal barges dared to sail. This was because eels were extremely territorial, and ships would often be treated as intruders and destroyed!
King Kong Eels relied on their explosive power and hard heads to smash through ships! This was enough to show just how terrifying their explosive power was!
Since Busey had everyone go catch King Kong Eels, this was presumably their nest. According to the Beast Spirit Codex, King Kong Eels lived on reefs at the bottom of the sea, so Xia Fei decided to find their nest first.
* Whoosh ~ *
Under the protection of the Silver Desert armor, Xia Fei's arms and legs quickly slid through the water, and it did not take long for him to reach the front of the crowd. Everyone was looking for traces of the King Kong Eels, but these crafty exotic beasts seemed to be premeditated, unwilling to show themselves.
Suddenly!
Black figures crazily charged out of the reefs, piercing through the clouds like arrows into the crowd!
"Ha, they're finally out!"
The crowd was excited. These fellows were all experts, and even the weakest were Law Sovereigns! Of course, they did not care about these puny exotic beasts.
* Rumble! *
The examinees displayed their various abilities. Some used the Law of Space to create barriers to trap the King Kong Eels, while some Law of Matter Adepts changed the shape of the seabed at will to set traps. Some killed the King Kong Eels with their bare hands, while others used weapons to kill the King Kong Eels.
Xia Fei used October Flying Snow to kill two, but he soon stopped. He even stopped Furball from helping Xia Fei.
"What are you waiting for? If we don't act now, the King Kong Eels will all be snatched away by others!? "
Xia Fei shook his head. "This number of eels isn't enough to kill. We have more than eight hundred people, and even if each of us catches a hundred, we'll need at least eighty thousand eels."
Phantom was slightly startled. Actually, killing eels was not the most difficult task, but one had to compete with others. Right now, there were people fighting over prey, and the sea was in chaos.
"Then what should we do?"
"Find a bigger school of eels!" Xia Fei said in a deep voice, "I'm a speed ability user, so I have the advantage of speed. Besides, I don't just want to pass."
"At least get into the top three!" Xia Fei shouted.
He was still thinking about his score for the first four rounds. In truth, those scores did not count at all. The real test was starting now!
This was not necessarily a bad thing for Xia Fei. He felt that his score was too far behind, so he was bursting with even more fighting spirit! Fight for the top three among so many experts? Xia Fei's goal seemed to be a little too ambitious.
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~ *
It was not just Xia Fei. There were many other experts who realized that the school of eels was not enough. Everyone used their abilities and Law to search along the seabed!
Even in the water, Xia Fei's speed reached five thousand meters per second!
Like a high-speed torpedo, Xia Fei left white ripples wherever he went, and the seawater violently shook!
Experts!
There were experts everywhere!
The King Kong Eels that inhabited this part of the sea were as miserable as they could be. Even if they burrowed into the mud, they would be dragged out!
This was no hunt; it was a massacre!
"This is the place!"
Xia Fei spent twenty minutes before he found a spot that he thought was suitable. It was a massive black sponge-shaped reef, no less than five kilometers in diameter! It weighed several million tons!
"Furball!"
Furball, who had been waiting for some time, softly whimpered, the sound waves traveling rapidly through the seawater.
Under the sea, Xia Fei needed the armor's oxygen system to survive, but Furball did not need it at all. He could even lie on the seabed and sleep. This was most likely the vitality of a Holy Beast.
"Roar ~"
Following Furball's howl, a large number of startled King Kong Eels scurried away from the bottom of the giant reef, wanting to get away from the range of that unsettling sound wave.
"It's here!"
Xia Fei perked up, and he used everything he had learned to kill!
…
On the platform, a screen appeared next to Busey, and on it were the names of the examinees and the number of King Kong Eels they had killed so far. Each examinee had a special tag that could record the process of the test. The white-clothed Zanian Feng stood next to Busey, watching the screen with him.
"Uncle Busey, you're really lucky to be the chief examiner for this batch of examinees," Zanian casually said.
Busey replied, "Since I'm already here, it's only right for me to take a look at the test."
Zanian smiled. "I'm afraid that my father is a little worried about me being a Hawkeye for the first time, which is why he invited you over."
Busey was a straightforward person, so he nodded without hesitation. "A Hawkeye is an important position that selects talents from among the examinees, and it's usually held by an experienced elder in the dojo. Your grandfather also sent someone to observe me when I first took on the role of a Hawkeye, so you don't have to worry about it."
Zanian Feng shrugged. "I still have some confidence in my judgment. You see, the ones I've highlighted — Lin Suchun, Freddy, Bangwei, and Mi Liang — all have decent results. They've firmly occupied the top spots since the beginning of the exam."
Busey said, "But Xia Fei, whom you've been paying attention to, has only gotten two points."
Zanian Feng was speechless. "Uncle Busey, you should understand that the path of a warrior isn't just about rank; it's also about vigor and willpower. Xia Fei's rank is a little low, but he has the temperament of an elite warrior. Perhaps once he gets used to the test, his results will improve a little."
Just as he finished speaking, the number under Xia Fei's name began to jump rapidly.
Smiling, Zanian glanced at the timer. "Twenty minutes. It looks like Xia Fei spent twenty minutes searching for the eels."
The number jumped rapidly, and in just two minutes, he had reached the passing mark. The number displayed was 113, and it showed no signs of slowing down.
Ten minutes later, the number had climbed to 955! It was already close to the 1,000 mark! He was now ranked 39th out of more than 800 examinees!
One thousand seven hundred and twenty-seven, eleventh! The number continued to increase!
Busey nodded. "At this rate, he should be able to get into the top six. Not bad."
Zanian Feng laughed. "It's not just not bad; it's very good! It's already very commendable for him to not be at a disadvantage against those examinees who already have Law Emperor cultivation. Getting into the top six is practically a miracle! "
Busey did not say anything. It was truly not easy to get a good result when there were so many experts around, and Xia Fei's performance had surprised him.
"I'll make a move first and enter the second examination hall to prepare. Given your personality, you'll only give them five minutes to rest at most. I'll also have to hurry up and prepare," Zanian Feng said.
"One minute," Busey sternly said. "At most, I'll let them rest for a minute."
Zanian pursed his lips. "I can only hope that they've brought enough Origin Crystals with them. If you continue at this speed, I'm afraid that some of them will die of exhaustion before even passing the assessment."
…
"Sixth place?" Xia Fei muttered to himself as he looked at the display screen, seemingly dissatisfied with this result.
"It seems that this assessment isn't going to be easy. I only managed to get sixth place with Furball's help. I'm afraid that it'll only get harder and harder from here on out."
Xia Fei clenched his fists. Furball had used his aura to force out the King Kong Eels, and Xia Fei had used the Beast Spirit Codex and all his martial arts techniques to barely make it into the top six, only catching three more eels than the seventh place examinee.
Sure enough, this was a gathering of experts. If he wanted to stand out in this assessment, it seemed that he would have to work even harder! With this thought, Xia Fei clenched his fists.
"I'll give you thirty seconds to rest! We'll begin the second round immediately! " The black tower tower Busey coldly shouted. He had just said that he would rest for a minute, but now, his expression had changed.
Dissatisfied sighs could be heard from the crowd. Being in the water was far more exhausting than being on land, and many of them were already exhausted.
Xia Fei silently took out two grade 4 Origin Crystals, giving one to Furball and absorbing the other to replenish his nearly exhausted stamina.
"Right, the last hundred examinees don't need to participate in the next round. You've all been eliminated!" Busey coldly said.
"Lord Busey, we've all reached the passing mark!" An examinee hugged his head as if he had been struck by lightning.
Even more people got up from the ground and looked at Busey in disbelief.
Being eliminated from the Dragon Ascension Conclave meant that they would not have the chance to enter the martial hall. To these examinees who dreamed of becoming strong, this was undoubtedly a huge blow!
"The quality of the examinees this time is better than I imagined. The passing mark has been changed!"
Busey's reply was simple and unreasonable. Reality was just that cruel, and there was no room for slacking off.
"Argh! I'll fight it out with you! " One of the examinees, who probably had a weaker tolerance, was shocked to hear that he had been eliminated and threw a punch at Busey!
"Hmph!"
Busey's thick black eyebrows arched, and he reached out with a single hand, pressing it against the examinee's chest.
* Bang! *
There was an explosion, and blood rained down from the sky!
No one knew what Busey had done or how he had done it, but a warrior with the cultivation of a Great Law Sovereign had been turned to dust with a single palm strike!
What a powerful attack!
Busey's cold gaze swept over the crowd. "Does anyone else have any objections?"
Xia Fei gulped. With such a ferocious examiner, who would dare have any objections?
"Time's up! The last one to enter the Spatial Gate is eliminated! "Busey was like a god of death as he loudly ordered.
Everyone rushed into the Spatial Gate in a panic, afraid that they would be left behind!
Xia Fei suddenly realized that the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall's assessment was actually this cruel!
Gritting his teeth, the pace of the assessment was so intense that he did not even have time to think. Xia Fei used his speed ability and rushed into the Spatial Gate with Furball in tow.
