The details of the Hunter Competition would not be disclosed to the public before it officially took place. Since it was an international competition, its authority and influence were only second to the World College Tournament.
Ling Ling reported to the Hunter Association as soon as she arrived in Dado. She was planning to go shopping and enjoy some good food in Dado, but she did not even have the chance to take a sip of water. She immediately headed to a military airport in the Nanshan Mountains.
"Why are we at a military airport? Is the Hunter Competition related to the military?" Ling Ling looked at a light green military plane with a confused face. It seemed to be the type that was used for long-distance flights. The plane's shell and wings had obvious traces of a Wind Magic Formation.
"We've already submitted your visas to the Egyptian authorities. Please head to Orange Sand Town as soon as you arrive in Cairo," an officer said to the members of the Hunter Association.
Professor Tong Zhouzheng nodded and let his students board the plane.
Meanwhile, Guan Yao, Jiang Binming, and the other seniors who were already Hunter Masters were utterly confused. They had no idea what was going on.
"Professor, are we going to Egypt?" Guan Yao blurted out in astonishment, "Even though the Hunter Competition is most likely going to be held overseas, it's only going to be held in the country before it's promoted to an international competition!"
"That's why the situation has changed," Professor Tong Zhouzheng said coldly, "If you don't want to go, you can back out now."
Guan Yao did not dare to ask further after hearing Professor Tong Zhouzheng's tone.
"Isn't it a great bonus for graduating if we're allowed to go overseas for training?" the bulky senior who was extremely gentle to Ling Ling said.
The senior had muscles like a bodybuilder, but his facial features were gentle, and his tone was gentle, too.
"Indeed, I don't want to miss out on such a rare opportunity. As a matter of fact, I've always wanted to join the Enforcement Union since I graduated. The Enforcement Union has high requirements for combat experience, and they only recruit high-level Hunters," Jiang Binming's eyes flickered with anticipation.
Being the vice president of the student union was not a bad title. It would allow him to get in touch with many top magic organizations in the society. Jiang Binming had only joined the Hunter Association after learning about the recruitment system of the Enforcement Union. If the Hunter Competition was held in Egypt, it would be a great experience for him. He would definitely be valued by the higher-ups of the Enforcement Union.
"Yes, but only if you come back alive." When Professor Tong Zhouzhen heard Jiang Binming's words, he walked past him and said these words calmly.
Jiang Binming's expression immediately froze.
Was this trip very dangerous?
He had heard a lot of news about Egypt recently. The country was currently being attacked by both the Undead Kingdom and the Banshee Kingdom. Many cities were affected, including their capital, Cairo.
"The danger level of the Hunter Competition has increased significantly. As my students, I will try my best to protect your lives, but I can't guarantee that you will all come back alive in a dangerous country like Egypt. The situation is urgent, so we don't have much time to think about it. If you aren't prepared to die, you should withdraw from the competition," Professor Tong Zhouzhen said sternly to the group.
The group looked at the military aircraft and the soldiers that were moving the resources rapidly. They saw mysterious people in advanced robes entering the aircraft. The students and graduates of the University of Dune immediately realized that the Hunter Competition had been upgraded to a higher level due to some unexpected circumstances.
Unlike the World College Tournament, Hunters were risking their lives. Even an international competition was not purely a competition. Most of the time, it was related to the harsh environment of certain places, or the presence of powerful demon creatures.
The headquarters of the Hunter Union had initially decided that the finals of the Hunter Competition would be held in Egypt. However, something unexpected had happened in Egypt, forcing the finals of the competition to be brought forward. It was now a large-scale competition that invited groups of Hunter Masters from all over the world.
Courage and determination were the qualifications to enter the competition!
No place in Egypt was absolutely safe. Wherever the deathlight shrouded, it would be a paradise for the undead, a purgatory in the human world!
As expected, some people withdrew from the competition.
Many of the students in the Hunter Association were in their third and fourth year. They would usually choose places with lower danger levels when they joined the Hunter Society.
There were still some territories of demon creatures in their country that they did not dare to set foot in. Egypt was a kingdom of undead. It felt like they were simply asking for death if they were not confident enough to go there.
More people followed after the first person withdrew from the competition. More than half of the students in the Hunter Association had withdrawn from the competition.
They were only planning to join the preliminaries of the Hunter Competition to earn some experience in the domestic Hunter Competitions, so they could be assistants to Professor Tong Zhouzhen. If they were to go to Egypt, it would be like putting their lives on the line. They were not even qualified to become a Hunter Master. They might not be able to make any difference even if they insisted on going.
"Don't leave, it's a great opportunity. Once you come back from Egypt, your classmates and teachers are going to look at you in a different light. You'll be able to graduate with excellence too. Don't you want to join a good organization?" Jiang Binming advised.
Unfortunately, not many people were listening to him. They bowed politely at Professor Tong Zhouzhen and left the military airport to return to their ivory towers.
"Only a few of us are left?" Guan Yao looked around and saw that Lingling was still there. She could not help but reveal a strange smile. "Why don't you quit? Dean Song He might just want you to broaden your horizons. There's no need for you to risk your life in Egypt with us."
"I'm familiar with Egypt," Ling Ling replied.
"We're not going to a tourist attraction …"
"Guan Yao, do a headcount. It's time to go," Tong Zhouzhen said.
"Got it, professor!" Guan Yao replied loudly.
…
…
Only seven students were left, including Leng Ling Ling and Jiang Binming. The other five were most likely in their fourth year. They were trying to earn some credits before they graduated.
Both the Pearl Institute and the University of London had great benefits when they graduated with excellence. Besides, the experience of the Hunter Competition in Egypt was definitely more valuable than the experience of graduating with excellence!
The plane took off. It was a military plane heading straight to Egypt.
Since the undead of Egypt and the undead of China started a war in the Underworld, China and Egypt had been in close contact. Both sides were keeping an eye on the undead of the two kingdoms.
