After some arrangements, Zhu Nian brought the ten dead bodies of the heretics that Lin Huang and Mu Lan had killed back to the headquarters.
After the incident, many of them set up their tents and rested, including Mu Lan.
Lin Huang was the only one who went to the center of Little Devil Island the next morning. After activating a Double Reward Card, he started killing gold-level monsters with Tyrant's help.
After an hour of killing, not only did he obtain 20 cross-ranking cards as a reward, he even managed to gather two complete gold-level Monster Cards.
One of them was the Demonic Poisontail Scorpion while the other was the Golden-Armored Skeleton of the spirit type.
The main purpose of combining the two cards into a complete card was to prevent any accidents and to leave a few epic-level cards as a substitute.
Before returning to the assessment foothold, Lin Huang got Xiao Hei to show him all the cards.
"You now have 14 Monster Cards as follows:"
"Epic-Level Monster Cards: Charcoal, Bai, Tyrant, Ghastly (Ghastly Clown), Bloody (Demonic Dandelion Vine)"
"Rare Monster Cards: One-Eyed Swordfiend, Alexandrian Eagle"
"Normal Monster Cards: Golden-Armored Skeleton, Demonic Poisontail Scorpion, Ox Devil, Lion-Headed Troll, Viridian Wolf, One-Eyed Demonic Ape, Specter"
"You now have 21 Skill Cards of various types as follows:"
"Talent Card: Superhuman Strength (Rare)"
"Life Seed Card: Sly Hands (Rare), Substitute (Rare), Sensing Circle (Rare)"
"Combat Skill Card: Great Sword Scripture (Epic), Wildfire (Epic), Fatal Tactics (Rare), Thunder Sword (Rare), Mountain Blade (Rare), Hundred Flowing Blades (Rare), Spectral Snowsteps (Rare), Cloud Steps (Rare)"
"Monster Skills: Blood Spirit, Immense Strength (Intermediate), Advanced Disguise, Super Robust, Magic Eye Deterrence (Intermediate), Absolute Defense (Beginner), Blood Hunt (Beginner), Boundless Vision (Beginner), Third Eye (Beginner), Mask Control"
"The 20 cross-ranking cards obtained by the host are as follows:"
"Advance Card x3, One-time Skill Card x3, Double Reward Card x2, Item Card x3, Provisional Transformation Card x2, Provisional Summoning Card x1, Healing Card x1, Skill Combination Card x1, Treasure Card x1, Mission Card x1, Challenge Card x1, Transportation Card x1"
"The host has a total of 40 Function Cards as follows:"
"Provisional Transformation Card x7, Advance Card x5, Healing Card x5, Treasure Card x4, Double Reward Card x4, Item Card x3, One-time Skill Card x3, Mission Card x2, Flawless Card x2, Skill Combination Card x1, Provisional Summoning Card x1, Transportation Card x1, Challenge Card x1, Small Destruction Card x1"
Seeing a few unfamiliar Function Cards, Lin Huang quickly opened them to check.
"Single-use Skill Card: Can seal a skill that the host has seen once (both monster skills and human combat skills). Once activated, the skill can be released."
"Remark 1: Due to the limitation of your ability, the most powerful skill that can be sealed is limited to holy fire-level.
"Remark 2: This card can only be used once. Once the skill is activated, the card will disappear automatically."
…
"Provisional Summoning Card: Activate the card and summon a random monster. The time limit is one hour.
"Remark 1: The combat level of the random monster is one level higher than the highest combat level Monster Card that the host has.
"Remark 2: There's a high probability of summoning a monster that's related to the Monster Card that the host has.
"Remark 3: The activation of the card will be counted as a consumption. Each card can only be used once."
…
"Transportation Card (3): Once activated, the host will be transported to a specific location.
"Remark 1: There's a waiting time of 10 seconds for each card activation.
"Remark 2: Cannot be used while moving.
"Remark 3: The location of the card must be where the host has been before.
"Remark 4: This card is a consumption card. Each card can only be activated three times. The card will disappear after three teleportations."
…
"Challenge Card: Once activated, the host will be transported to a challenge space. A random monster will appear in the challenge space. After killing the monster, the host will obtain a Challenge Card for the monster.
"Remark 1: The combat level of the monster in the challenge space will be the same as the host. The type and rarity of the monster will be randomly assigned.
"Remark 2: You can only fight with your own abilities in the challenge space. Monster Cards and Function Cards are prohibited.
"Remark 3: Each Challenge Card will disappear if the challenge is successful. The host can only repeat the challenge three times. The Challenge Card will disappear if the host fails all three challenges.
"Remark 4: If the host dies in the challenge space, it will be counted as a real death. Therefore, if you encounter a monster that you can't defeat, please leave the challenge space as soon as possible. "
…
Lin Huang was in a good mood after looking through the new cards. The new cards were very practical.
Lin Huang activated the three Item Cards as usual. He would activate the Item Cards without hesitation every time he got them in the past. However, he did not get anything good. Most of them were weapons.
This time, there were three Item Cards. The first two were equipment, but the third was a potion.
Lin Huang picked up the green potion and looked at its name and description.
"Berserk Potion (Beast Use): After injecting the summoning monster, the summoning monster will go berserk. Its strength, defense, and speed will be increased tenfold. Effective Time: One hour. "
"Remark 1: After injecting the potion, the summoning monster will lose its mind completely. It will attack everything within its sight, including the Imperial Censor who is rearing it."
"Remark 2: After going berserk, the summoning monster will be weakened for 100 hours. During this period, it will fall into a deep sleep."
"I can't believe it's a potion." Lin Huang raised an eyebrow and looked at the remaining cards. "Eh, another Skill Combination Card!"
"Activate the Skill Combination Card!" Lin Huang ordered immediately.
"Skill Combination Card activated."
"There are three options for Skill Combination."
"Sword Type Combat Skills: Great Sword Scripture, Wildfire, Thunder Sword, Mountain Blade, Hundred Flowing Blades."
"Body Type Combat Skills: Spectral Snowsteps, Cloud Steps."
"Eye Type Skills: Magic Eye Deterrence, Boundless Vision, Third Eye."
"Please choose the Skill Combination."
"I choose 3." Lin Huang made his choice without hesitation. The maximum number of Monster Skills that he could control was ten. Combining the Monster Skills would allow him to have more Monster Skill slots.
"Skill Combination Card has been consumed. Monster Skills: Magic Eye Deterrence, Boundless Vision, and Third Eye have been consumed. New Skill Combination Card is being generated …"
"Congratulations, you have obtained a new Eye Type Card: Kaleidoscope."
"Kaleidoscope: Possesses a variety of Pupillary abilities. It can automatically combine more Eye Type Skills to become stronger."
"Remark: Currently, the basic abilities are Boundless Vision, Duplication, Magic Eye Deterrence, and Illusion."
"After combining the skills, not only will I have the original three abilities, but I will also have an illusion. It's a skill that can grow." Lin Huang grinned as he looked at his new skill.
He looked at his Monster Skills. The original ten skills had been reduced to eight, and there were two more slots.
Lin Huang did not rush to extract the skills. He rode the Alexandrian Eagle back to the assessment foothold.
Mu Lan did not ask about his actions. She knew that Lin Huang had a summoning monster like Tyrant. She was not worried about Lin Huang's safety. As long as he did not encounter any Transcendent, he would be safe.
In the next few days, Lin Huang finally settled down. He set up his tent and waited for news with Mu Lan and the rest of the candidates on Little Devil Island.
On the fourth day, the news finally came.
Since Mu Lan had reported to the higher-ups in time, the Hunters' Association's loss was greatly reduced.
There were 63 assessment footholds that were attacked. However, only 11 of the footholds had all the candidates taken away. Thirty-seven assessment footholds had some of the candidates taken away, and the remaining 15 assessment footholds had all of the candidates rescued.
There were a total of 12,800 candidates taken away, which was close to 30% of the total number of candidates in the 63 assessment footholds.
All of the 63 assessment footholds that were attacked had stopped their assessment. The Hunters' Association headquarters had also announced that the remaining candidates in the 63 assessment footholds did not have to continue with the assessment. They would be promoted to Regular Hunters immediately.
When Mu Lan informed the rest of the candidates, almost everyone in Lin Huang's assessment foothold was ecstatic.
Lin Huang was the only one who did not care about the outcome. To him, one more round did not make a difference. However, it was good to be able to go home earlier for the New Year.
After the assessment was over, the Hunters' Association sent the Demonic Crystal Spaceship to bring the candidates back to Beixuan City at foothold No.7B24.
When Mu Lan brought 489 candidates to register, many people in the Hunters' Association branch in Beixuan City were shocked.
"Why is the passing rate so high this year? It's rare for there to be more than 300 people in the past. "Someone could not help but ask.
"That's right. I think there are more than 12,000 people participating in the assessment. The passing rate is as high as 4%. It's usually around 2%."
"Could it be that the assessment this time is very easy?"
The Hunter Association had yet to announce the news of being attacked during the assessment. Many people were discussing the passing rate of the assessment.
Although there were many people, the Hunters' Association was able to register quickly as they were all Reserve Hunters. Their information at the Hunters' Association was complete. All they had to do was to update their personal information and re-test their combat strength. It took less than 10 seconds for each of them to register. Moreover, they took up three windows at the same time. The three queues split up and the speed of registration was fast.
Lin Huang stood in the queue and waited for less than 10 minutes. Just when he was about to leave after updating his personal information, he was stopped by the registrar.
"You were not iron-level when you registered in June. It's December now and your combat strength is silver-level rank-1? Does this mean that you've only used half a year to get to silver-level? " The registrar was in disbelief. What she did not know was that Lin Huang had hidden his combat strength when he was taking the assessment.
The registrar's question was quickly heard by everyone in the hall, and they all looked in his direction.
It was terrifying to be able to get to silver-level from an ordinary person in half a year.
Even for a talented person who had mastered a high-level Life Skill, it would take at least a month for each cycle to be filled up with iron-level Life Power. Three cycles would take three months and at least two months would be needed to stabilize their Life Power. It would take them about half a year to level up to bronze-level rank-1.
When they got to bronze-level, the speed of filling up their Life Power was even slower. It was at least three times faster than iron-level. It would take at least nine months to fill up all three cycles of Life Power and it would take at least two months for them to stabilize their Life Power.
This would take at least 16 months, and this was the result of practicing a High Rank Life Skill. In reality, most people would need more than two years, and those with good potential could shorten the process to one and a half years.
However, it only took Lin Huang six months to complete the entire process, which was shocking.
"Yes." Lin Huang nodded and gave the registrar an affirmative answer.
"I'll report your abnormal training speed to the higher-ups. There will be someone to check on you." The registrar said to Lin Huang.
"Sure." Lin Huang nodded. "If there's nothing else, I'll make a move."
