READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 8: Killing Practice
Soon the three of them arrived on the second floor of a quiet little building. In the living room on the second floor, several people were sitting together. Xiao Yu took a look and found that he knew one of them, Zhuge Tao, one of the four giants of Jiangnan City Extreme Club.
"Manager." Xiao Yu and Luo Feng shouted at the same time.
"Well, Xiao Yu and Luo Feng, you follow Wu Tong and sit over there." Zhuge Tao, who was dressed in a dark combat uniform with a hint of silver, said with a faint smile.
"Zhuge, is this the Luo Feng you mentioned? I don't think he's much better than our Thunder Martial Arts School." Opposite Zhuge Tao was a burly man in a dark purple battle suit. His voice seemed to echo in his chest. "My Thunder Martial Arts School is recruiting two people in advance this time. One has a physical fitness that is no worse than your Luo Feng, and the other is a genius with firearms."
The burly man did not look at Xiao Yu, because he understood the situation of the Xiao family and knew that even if he offered a higher price, he would not be able to invite Xiao Yu, so there was no need to waste time.
This burly man is Wang Heng, the director of Thunder Martial Arts School. Looking at his face, one might think that he is a loyal and honest person, but in fact, his character has nothing to do with loyalty and honesty. How many directors of a martial arts school are easy to get along with?
"My name is Wan Dong." The gloomy young man with a purple birthmark on his face spoke.
"My name is Ma Xiao." The other young man had a smile on his face. He was very beautiful. He only needed a set of clothes and a wig to dress up as the kind of beauty who could charm millions of young boys.
"Luo Feng." Luo Feng smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu looked at them with a smile.
"Luo Feng, Xiao Yu." Wan Dong said, "Do you have the guts to compete? In tonight's warrior practical test, who can get first place in points between you and me!"
Wan Dong's character is totally inconsistent with his appearance. He is like a teenager with a very strong competitive spirit.
Xiao Yu simply ignored his invitation.
"Not interested." Luo Feng also shook his head and refused
Wang Heng, the director of the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School, was about to speak when Zhuge Tao interrupted him and said, "Let's go too. The combat test for warriors will begin soon!"
Led by soldiers, 1680 would-be warriors, including Xiao Yu, took nearly half an hour to reach the outskirts of a small town.
It was already evening and the sun had already set.
"Roar~~"
"Huh~~"
All kinds of heart-pounding strange cries were heard from the town. The town was surrounded by barbed wire. A large number of soldiers were patrolling with guns in hand to prevent the monsters in the town from escaping and to prevent powerful monsters from breaking into the town.
"Everyone, this practical test follows the same rules as in the past! It will start promptly at 6: tonight. The test will end at : tomorrow morning!"
"The more monsters you kill, the more points you get. Every time you kill a monster, cut off the monster's left ear as proof."
"Remember, quasi-warriors are prohibited from killing each other. All your activities are under surveillance, and violators will be shot directly!"
"Among the 1680 prospective warriors, those who rank in the top 60% will be qualified as warriors! The bottom 40% will be considered failures and will have to wait for the next warrior combat assessment."
"Let me remind you that according to past assessment experience, if you kill three monsters, you can pass the assessment. If you only kill two monsters, it depends on luck."
...
The soldier read out the rules of the assessment.
There are 1680 participants, and 60% of them pass, which means 1008 people pass. The remaining 672 people will be eliminated. This elimination rate is not small.
Fortunately, even if you are eliminated, you can still participate in the next assessment. The key is to ensure your own safety and not lose your life in order to pass the assessment. That would mean you really have no chance.
"All would-be warriors, set off and enter Monster Town." The officer waved his hand.
All prospective warriors entered quickly after hearing the order. After all those participating in the assessment entered, the officer locked the door.
To get out, you must either take the initiative to end the assessment or wait until the assessment time is over.
Luo Feng said to Xiao Yu and Yang Wu: "Xiao Yu, Brother Yang, do you want to go into this monster town together or alone?"
Xiao Yu said solemnly: "Madman, this warrior combat assessment is not only an assessment, but more importantly a training. When we enter the wilderness area in the future, we will encounter countless more powerful monsters and countless dangers. We all have to learn to adapt to this kind of life. Moreover, the monsters in this monster town are all the weakest H-level monsters, which is the best training opportunity."
Luo Feng nodded: "That's right, you should be careful too."
"Well, Crazy, Xiao Yu, you should also seize the opportunity to practice your sword skills well." Yang Wu reminded.
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded, then ran towards a building in the distance.
Unlike many people, he did not go to a shadowy location, but to a bright location illuminated by large searchlights on the edge of the town.
Although this is more dangerous, Xiao Yu is not afraid of this danger.
The monsters on Earth have a similar level of classification as humans, namely beast soldier level, beast general level, and lord level, which correspond to the human warrior level, war general level, and war god level. Of course, monsters also have levels above lord, such as king monsters and emperor monsters.
The monsters in this town are basically the weakest H-level monsters. Even G-level monsters are rare. They are at the primary and intermediate beast soldier levels.
Although there are thousands of monsters in this town, they can be divided into three main categories: the 'Shadow Cat' which wins with its speed among the cat-type monsters, the 'Iron Boar' which wins with its powerful defense, and the 'Tiger Mastiff' which wins with its amazing speed and strength among the dog-type monsters.
These monsters are generally good at hiding themselves, and many of them, especially shadow cats, are accustomed to sneak attacks in the shadows.
Xiao Yu, who is now walking in the light, is undoubtedly the most conspicuous target.
Just as he walked past a collapsed two-story building, he felt a slight movement behind him. He turned around cautiously to look at the situation behind him.
He saw three shadows slowly moving in the shadow of a three-story building fifty meters away that was still intact. With Xiao Yu's current eyesight, he could see clearly that they were three monsters with hair all over their bodies like spikes, each one about one and a half meters tall. The two huge fangs in each of their big mouths reflected a heart-pounding cold light under the ray of light refracted by a searchlight in the distance.
"There are three iron-haired wild boars all at once. Do you think too highly of me?" Xiao Yu said self-deprecatingly.
"Hehe."
The three iron-haired wild boars stared at the human warrior in front of them who was holding two swords, and made strange growls.
Then the first iron-haired wild boar rushed towards Xiao Yu, followed by the two behind. The three iron-haired wild boars rushed towards him like three armored vehicles, greatly reducing his escape space. The moment they approached, the six sharp and long fangs, like six giant scimitars, pushed forward at the same time.
Xiao Yu spotted the right opportunity and took advantage of the time difference in the attacks of the three iron-haired wild boars to dodge quickly. When he dodged to the side, the rapidly running iron-haired wild boars had no time to react. Xiao Yu's eyes were shining, and all his strength suddenly burst out with the sword in his right hand. The merciless Silver Moon sword slashed upward at the neck of the leading iron-haired wild boar, and the blade swept from bottom to top.
After the blade passed, there was no need to look at the result. He turned around and dodged to the side of the iron-haired wild boar in the back row, and the sword in his left hand slashed across the neck of the iron-haired wild boar from bottom to top.
puff! puff! The heads of the two iron-haired wild boars were separated from their bodies and flew up one after another. Blood spurted out from their broken necks like two red fireworks. The bodies of the iron-haired wild boars flew for more than ten meters according to inertia before falling down with a bang. Their bodies continued to twitch on the ground for a while before they died completely.
The remaining iron-haired wild boar saw its companion being killed instantly, and the battle situation suddenly became 0 to 2. It was immediately frightened and quickly ran away, even faster than the speed it had when it rushed towards Xiao Yu before.
Looking at the iron-haired wild boar flying away, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, he would not let go of this trophy that he had already reserved. How could he let him leave! He chased after the iron-haired wild boar, and arrived first, reaching the side of the iron-haired wild boar in less than two seconds.
When the madly running iron-haired wild boar saw the human figure chasing after it, it acted as if it had encountered a demon. Its eyes widened, its hair stood up, and its running speed actually increased by one point.
However, no matter how hard this iron-haired wild boar tried, it was just an H-level monster, similar to a junior warrior. Compared with Xiao Yu, who had reached the peak of an intermediate warrior, the difference was huge.
The next moment, the pig's head was separated from its neck, which had been there for who knows how long, and its body flew for more than twenty meters before falling down.
Looking at the three monsters with broken necks and spurting blood, he did not feel the shock of seeing blood for the first time. Instead, he felt a little excited. Perhaps this was a sequelae of having seen all kinds of life and death in his previous life.
Xiao Yu walked to the nearest pig head, waved his hand and cut off the left ear of the iron-haired wild boar at the root, put it into the backpack behind him, and then collected the left ears of the other two iron-haired wild boars one by one.
It was just the beginning and he had already scored 3 points.
Although he was tempted by the corpses of the three iron-haired wild boars, he also knew all the movements in Monster Town, which was monitored almost all the time, and he couldn't lose the big picture because of a small one.
Xiao Yu continued to walk forward. Less than a hundred meters ahead, he found that the shadow a hundred meters ahead was reflecting dozens of bright eyes, like dozens of faint lights.
After realizing that Xiao Yu had discovered them, these dozen monsters scattered and hid in the shadows to seek a better opportunity for a sneak attack.
Seeing this scene, even Xiao Yu became cautious all of a sudden. He held both swords tightly in his hands and watched the surrounding situation carefully.
Suddenly, three black shadows pounced towards Xiao Yu from the edge of his sight.
Wow! Wow! Two cold lights lit up, and Xiao Yu's body only moved half a meter. There was a faint trace of blood on the blade of the Silver Moon Saber in his hand. The two black shadows were thrown away powerlessly and fell in the corner of the wall, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.
Only one black shadow was lucky enough to disappear into the shadow again.
"Although this shadow cat is fast, with a speed of 40m/s for a junior beast soldier, its defense is insufficient. As long as you master the skills, even a junior warrior can kill it easily." Xiao Yu muttered.
There were several swish sounds of wind.
Xiao Yu dodged quickly, and when he dodged the attack, he not only used his sword to attack, but also made use of the stones on the ground.
He killed six shadow cats with his sword, but one shadow cat was hit on the head by a stone and flew backwards. It fell on the collapsed ruins, twitching all over for several breaths and never got up again.
The remaining shadow cats saw that the man in front of them was not someone to be trifled with, so they fled in all directions using the shadows.
After waiting for a while without any movement, Xiao Yu walked to his spoils. The body of the shadow cat on the ground was gray in hair and not very big, only about half a meter long. At this moment, there was a scary cut on the abdomen of the shadow cat, and even its internal organs were cut open by Xiao Yu's previous knife, and even the internal organs flowed out.
After cutting off the left ear of this shadow cat, Xiao Yu walked to the bodies of the other seven shadow cats. The causes of death of these shadow cats varied. One was beheaded directly, and its head flew more than ten meters away, making it difficult for Xiao Yu to find it.
After harvesting the left ears of 8 shadow cats in a row, his record has reached 11 points, and qualifying is already a sure thing. As for whether he can compete for the first place, Xiao Yu doesn't care.
Even if he accidentally won first place, it would mean nothing to him.
Now, Xiao Yu finally stopped walking on the ground and stood on the edge of the rooftop of a six-story residential building, slowly looking down and around.
"I haven't killed a tiger mastiff before, look at the quality of this guy." He saw at a glance that on the top of a dilapidated three-story villa diagonally below, there was a tiger mastiff with spots and a streamlined body.
He immediately rushed forward, then leaped over the edge of the rooftop, flew over more than ten meters, and landed heavily on the top floor of the dilapidated villa, causing the floor to shake violently. He rolled over when he landed on the roof, relieving the impact while charging directly towards the tiger mastiff.
"Roar!" The tiger mastiff also pounced over.
When passing by, the sword in his left hand cut across horizontally, and the blade slashed forward from the side of the tiger mastiff. The tiger mastiff flew straight for several meters and fell to the ground, motionless.
After collecting the combat items, he jumped several times in a row, jumping from the ground to the roof of the three-story villa, then jumping from the edge to the balcony of the six-story building, and from the edge of the balcony, jumping to the roof of the eighth floor, which is the highest position in this area.
Here he can better observe the situation around him.
"what!"
I saw a human figure fighting with two shadow cats. The two shadow cats screamed and moved at an astonishing speed, with their sharp claws constantly grabbing at them. The human figure was nimble and kept dodging, fighting with the two shadow cats.
"It seems that Luo Feng has started training seriously. It won't be long before his body movements can reach the subtle level. You have to know that this is because he has not been exposed to the body movement secret manual. He has completely figured it out based on the basic body movement. It is obvious that he has a good fighting talent. If I didn't have the experience accumulated in my previous life, my body movement would not have reached the perfect level."
Xiao Yu muttered to himself.
Although his body movements had reached perfection, his strength was insufficient and he could only perform to the deep micro level at best.
At the same time, Xiao Yu also saw the cold-blooded young man with blood on his body, holding a Ghost Moon Knife, and walking on the street in an extremely arrogant manner.
"Wan Dong?"
"I can only compete with Luo Feng in the warrior practical test, and that's when Luo Feng is not concentrating on killing monsters!"
Xiao Yu sighed secretly, no longer paying attention to the two people's situation, and began his own path of cultivation.
For Xiao Yu, killing is a form of practice. His temporary goal is to turn combat skills into instinct. If he can reach this step, even if he cannot awaken his spiritual talent, he will not be powerless to fight back if his mind is controlled by the controller in the future.
