The farce ended just like that.
However, Grandpa Han's vicious gaze fell on Chen Zong's face, not bothering to hide his murderous intent. However, he couldn't fight here. Otherwise, he would've killed him right there and then.
Of course, Grandpa Han had another concern. His opponent's sword was very powerful. If not for his companion's help and his timely reaction, he would've been killed. This meant that this guy was very strong. He might not be able to kill him in the Blood Vengeance Arena.
Since that was the case, he would leave the opportunity outside the fortress.
"Thank you, Brother Hua," Chen Zong said to Hua Wenjun.
This time, he attacked out of anger. His sword was very powerful. If Hua Wenjun didn't help in time and slightly deviated the sword light, he would've killed his opponent.
Killing his opponent would be gratifying, but it would also cause him a lot of trouble. That aura locked onto Chen Zong's body and made him shiver. Even the Grey Feather Shield wouldn't be able to block that attack.
It wouldn't be worth it to put himself in a dangerous situation just to kill a scum.
"This guy deserves to be killed, but not here." Hua Wenjun said, "When we become Demon Hunters, we can take revenge on him."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong couldn't find the feeling of epiphany. He felt a little regretful, but there was no need to dwell on it.
The Demon Hunter Hall had ninety-nine steps in the shape of a half-moon. Stepping on the steps, the atmosphere became more solemn.
The Demon Hunter Hall's door was wide open. It was fifty meters high and forty meters wide, allowing many people to enter and exit at the same time. When Chen Zong stepped into the hall, he was shocked. It was very spacious, very spacious.
The hall was hundreds of meters high, and the dome was covered with blood-red starlight. It was deep and vast, but also infinitely mysterious.
The hall was circular, with a diameter of a thousand meters. There were four doors in total, and each door had a plaque with different blood-red words.
Demon Hunter Area!
Mission Area!
Trading Area!
Recuperation Area!
The four areas were different.
The Demon Hunting Area was mainly for Demon Hunters to apply, be assessed, and advance in rank. The Mission Area would give out missions, and those who completed the missions would be rewarded with merit points. The Trading Area was a place for Demon Hunters to trade with each other. The Recuperation Area was a place for recuperation. It was also a place where Demon Hunters could drink and chat.
Chen Zong and the other two were not Demon Hunters yet. Therefore, they could only head to the Demon Hunter Zone. Only after becoming a Demon Hunter would they be qualified to enter other zones.
The application wasn't difficult. All he had to do was pay a hundred low-grade spiritual sources and report his name. As for his background, there were no other requirements.
…
The three of them were arranged to sit at the side, waiting to be assessed. Other than Chen Zong and the other two, there were seven or eight other people waiting.
"I wonder if I can pass the assessment this time," Not far away, a young man at the Pseudo Transcendent Realm whispered.
"It depends on luck. If we encounter a monster that's easier to deal with, we might be able to pass the test." His companion shrugged.
"Well, it depends on luck." The Pseudo Transcendent Realm young man was obviously distressed. Immediately, he saw Chen Zong and his eyes lit up. He quickly rushed over and sat down beside Chen Zong, "Hey, brother, you're also here to participate in the Demon Hunter Assessment, right?"
Chen Zong nodded.
"Yes." Hua Wenjun smiled slightly.
"Is this your first time participating in the assessment?" The young man asked again. After getting confirmation, he spoke again, "My name is Li Xiao. This is my third time participating in the assessment."
"Can the assessment be repeated?" Chen Zong asked back.
"Yes, as long as you don't die, you can apply for the assessment again." Li Xiao smiled, "The monsters I encountered the last two times were too powerful. I couldn't beat them, so I gave up on the assessment. If I didn't give up, I would've been killed. I hope I can encounter a monster that's easier to deal with this time. That way, I can pass the assessment and become a Demon Hunter."
"Hmph, Demon Hunters are people who have to face monsters and demons. Only the truly strong are qualified, not a coward like you." Someone next to Li Xiao seemed to be unhappy with his words and immediately mocked him.
Li Xiao's face turned red.
Basically, it was normal to give up during the assessment when you felt you couldn't beat the monsters. After all, if you didn't give up, you would've been killed by the monsters. In order to survive, you naturally had to give up. It could be called being sensible.
However, after becoming a Demon Hunter and going outside the Demon Suppressing Fortress to face the underground monsters and demons, you couldn't give up just because you weren't a match for them. The other party wouldn't be merciful.
If you couldn't beat them, if you couldn't escape, only death would await you.
Therefore, being a Demon Hunter was a very cruel profession.
"If you don't have the determination to fight for survival, you'd better leave here as soon as possible." The person who mocked Li Xiao spoke again. Although it wasn't pleasant to hear, it was close to the truth.
However, this was other people's business. Chen Zong wouldn't care about it. Although Hua Wenjun liked to make friends, he was also a good judge of character.
"The assessment has begun. Follow me." A person from the Demon Hunter Hall walked over, glanced around, and said coldly. Then, he turned around and left, not caring if the others could follow him or not.
Everyone got up and followed him. Not long after, they arrived at a side hall.
"The assessment will start with Number One." The person from the Demon Hunter Hall announced. As soon as he finished speaking, Number One stepped forward. A transparent light curtain rose, isolating Number One from the others.
An ear-piercing sound was heard. One of the walls of the side hall opened, and a cloud of black smoke billowed out. Within the black smoke, there were two fist-sized scarlet lights.
Roar …
A terrifying roar was heard. It was incomparably ferocious. Immediately, the two scarlet lights stretched out in the black smoke, turning into two scarlet streamers. A black figure rushed out from the black smoke.
It was a ferocious beast that looked like a tiger. However, it looked even more ferocious than a demonic tiger. Traces of black aura lingered around its body. Its body was huge, and there were black bone spurs on its back, like crisscrossing fangs.
"Brother Chen, this is the Demonic Black Mist Tiger from the underground." Hua Wenjun stood aside and said.
Chen Zong nodded. The Demonic Black Mist Tiger's aura was not bad. It was almost at the seven-star level. However, an ordinary seven-star level might not be its opponent.
In other words, to defeat and kill the Demonic Black Mist Tiger, one's strength had to be at the top of the seven-star level.
Participant Number One's strength was not bad. He was at the eight-star level. However, when facing the Demonic Black Mist Tiger, his expression was cold. His muscles tightened, and a tyrannical pseudo spiritual power surged in his body.
With a roar, the Demonic Black Mist Tiger swept over with billowing black smoke. Its huge body brought along a gust of wind. It was not only extremely fast, but also extremely ferocious.
In the black smoke, the scarlet lights were blazing. Its terrifying sharp claws quietly clawed at participant Number One.
Participant Number One shouted loudly. His long saber was unsheathed, and with a dazzling saber light, he slashed at the Demonic Black Mist Tiger.
This slash directly split the black smoke and hit the Demonic Black Mist Tiger's sharp claws. The Demonic Black Mist Tiger only paused for a moment. Participant Number One could not help but take a few steps back. His long saber trembled violently, and a burst of counterforce numbed his hand.
Chen Zong narrowed his eyes slightly.
This Demonic Black Mist Tiger was like an ant to him. Chen Zong did not have to worry about it at all. However, the Demonic Black Mist Tiger belonged to the lower level of all the underground monsters.
The Demonic Black Mist Tiger's aura was equivalent to that of a Seven Star Pseudo Transcendent, but its body was very strong. An average Seven Star Pseudo Transcendent wouldn't be able to break through it. If this was the normal state, then the strength of the underground monsters' bodies would be stronger than their strength.
Participant Number One was forced to retreat, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he became more and more calm. With a long saber in hand, he moved quickly and nimbly, circling around the Demonic Black Mist Tiger. The Demonic Black Mist Tiger was also very fast. It turned into a billowing black smoke. Its scarlet eyes danced like streams of light, and its terrifying claws tore the air apart.
The saber light spread in all directions.
This battle lasted for a while. Participant Number One finally killed the Demonic Black Mist Tiger with his own strength. His body was covered in blood, caused by the Demonic Black Mist Tiger's claws. The wounds were so deep that bones could be seen. There was also a trace of terrifying Demon Qi lingering in the wound, making it difficult for it to heal.
"Congratulations on passing the assessment and becoming a reserve Demon Hunter." The person from the Demon Hunter Hall waved his hand, and the light screen disappeared. Immediately, he formed a seal and released a white light, which fell on the wound. With a sizzling sound, the Demon Qi in the wound was expelled.
"The assessment begins on the second."
Chen Zong was number six, Hua Wenjun was number seven, and Hua Wenqing was number eight.
Number two was stronger than number one, and he passed the assessment smoothly.
Number three was killed because his strength was not as good as the Demonic Black Mist Tiger.
Number four was Li Xiao.
"I give up the assessment." Li Xiao quickly said. He had no choice. The Demonic Black Mist Tiger might not be strong to others, but it was very strong to him, who only had a seven-star battle strength. He had no confidence.
Of course, it was also because he was not confident enough. He was afraid of death, so he did not dare to take the risk. Such a person, even if he was given a great opportunity, would not be able to achieve anything because of the lack of courage and momentum.
Number five was the person who mocked Li Xiao before. He was not weak, with a nine-star battle strength. He killed the Demonic Black Mist Tiger with only two moves.
He glanced at Li Xiao with a sneer and snorted coldly.
The assessment began on the sixth, and it was Chen Zong.
Facing the Demonic Black Mist Tiger, Chen Zong could feel the terrifying demonic aura rushing toward him. It was gloomy, overbearing, and dark.
Chen Zong stood still with his sword in the scabbard, looking calm.
The Demonic Black Mist Tiger roared and rushed toward Chen Zong with a gust of chilly wind. Its terrifying demonic aura rushed toward Chen Zong like a tidal wave, trying to swallow him whole. Its sharp claws tore the air apart in the black mist, and it came at Chen Zong with terrifying power.
Chen Zong still stood still.
"He must be scared out of his wits."
"Maybe it's because it's his first time seeing an underground demon, and he's not strong enough."
"With this kind of mentality, it's better to just give up."
"This kind of person should not take the assessment at all."
The people from the Demon-Hunter Hall also stared at Chen Zong with some doubts in their eyes. Although they couldn't see through Chen Zong's cultivation, they felt that he shouldn't be weak. Facing the Dark Mist Demonic Tiger, he shouldn't be so weak that he couldn't resist at all.
