"Good kid!"
"One hundred Vicious Beasts, and a one-time challenge."
"I want to see how you'll handle it!"
Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall couldn't help but lean in closer, his eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Soon!
In the training ground.
One hundred Vicious Beasts appeared.
A Flame Hawk circled in the sky, flapping its flame-bathed wings, its fierce gaze locked onto Ye Ming.
Various Vicious Beasts also emerged on the ground: Crushing Gorillas with rock gauntlets on their arms, Poison Armor Lizards with backs full of venomous spines, bouncing Spring Monsters, and Big Mouth Beasts with mouths full of serrated teeth... These Vicious Beasts surged endlessly, charging towards Ye Ming like mad.
Even though he knew they were simulated, Ye Ming still felt the entire ground trembling.
From all directions, including above his head, Vicious Beasts charged from every angle.
There was no escaping!
Only battle!
"Youyou, lend me your godfall scythe!"
"Okay!"
After Ye Ming finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed at the air, and a black long scythe appeared in his hand.
The long scythe was entirely black, with star-like specks adorning its slender handle, a strange black aura coiling around it, and a blood-red gem embedded in the end of the handle, which seemed to pulsate like the heart of the Grim Reaper in the dark night.
The crescent blade emitted a profound dark red, as if it condensed endless death and coldness, its edge glinting with a cold light, sharp enough to easily cleave the boundary between Soul and Void Realm.
"godfall scythe... what powerful strength!"
Ye Ming's aura changed drastically as he held the long scythe.
If he was a killer in the darkness before.
Now, he was more like a War God in the darkness!
His aura was domineering and wild.
Whoosh!
Ye Ming swung the godfall scythe in his hand, and a blood-red slash, like a crescent moon, cut through the pack of Vicious Beasts!
Pfft! Pfft!
Wherever the slash reached, all the Vicious Beasts were instantly cut open.
Even the Crushing Gorilla, known for its defense, was easily cut in half!
"As expected, it's powerful!!"
That casual strike just now instantly killed ten Vicious Beasts!
This made Ye Ming even more clearly aware of the godfall scythe's power.
Boom!
Immediately after.
Ye Ming kicked off the ground and charged into the pack of Vicious Beasts with a lunge, his long scythe continuously swinging.
Centered on him.
Darkness also spread around, the Dark Domain was activated!
Pfft! Pfft!
Streaks of blood-red light flashed in the darkness.
Horizontal slashes, diagonal cuts, vertical chops, direct hooks, the long scythe in Ye Ming's hand was the ultimate Sharp Weapon for killing, its cold blade cutting through the bodies of the Vicious Beasts, mingling with their hot blood.
Ye Ming could feel the godfall scythe trembling slightly.
This was excitement!
Slaughter made it excited!
This intense emotion spread to Ye Ming's mind, trying to take over his consciousness!
"No wonder they say Contracted Demonesses are easily backlashed by slaughter."
"This kind of excitement is not something an ordinary person can control!"
Ye Ming tightened his grip on the godfall scythe, forcefully suppressing the strange excitement that tried to seize his consciousness.
Then, he plunged back into the battle.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As the long scythe swung.
Vicious Beasts were continuously cut down.
Their flesh flew everywhere, and the simulated blood formed a river.
Ye Ming was like a crimson hurricane, filled with slaughter and gore, leaving nothing but bones and fragments wherever he went.
Three minutes later.
All one hundred Vicious Beasts were dead!
Ye Ming looked at the Vicious Beast corpses around him, constantly disappearing into data streams, and the exhilaration in his heart had already reached its Peak.
His total kill count successfully reached five hundred!
Far exceeding Lin Feng, who had killed sixty Vicious Beasts, on the previous record board.
"Alright."
"The test ends here."
"I'll find an opportunity to try the Spirit Skill, Eternal Night Descends, in a Secret Realm."
Eternal Night Descends was a dual-type Spirit Skill for both single targets and groups, and the scale of the training ground couldn't unleash its full power.
As he left, Ye Ming didn't forget to check his gains.
[Realm: First-Tier Contractor (1000 / 10000)]
[Qi and Blood: 100 → 102]
[Mental Energy: 100 → 102]
[Dark Domain (Level 1 → Level 2), coverage radius increased to 5.1 meters, enemies within the Domain will suffer a strength reduction!]
[godfall demon armor (Level 1 → Level 2), possesses more power and speed boosts!]
"Not bad, my Realm hasn't changed, but both Spirit Skills have leveled up."
"It seems that to gain more experience, I must kill real Vicious Beasts!"
The simulated Vicious Beasts at the Martial Arts Hall were very realistic, but there was still a big difference compared to real Vicious Beasts.
This is also why practical combat is so emphasized in this era.
Click—
When Ye Ming pushed open the door.
The first thing he saw was Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall, dressed in a white robe.
This person... so strong!
Not as strong as Fourth Uncle, but not far off.
He was an existence that Ye Ming could not provoke for now.
"Hello, my name is Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall."
Li Sufeng walked up with a smile, extending his hand to Ye Ming.
Ye Ming shook his hand, returning a smile,
"Hello, my name is Ye Ming."
"From the Ye Family?"
"Yes."
"Haha, I guessed right after all."
Li Sufeng let out a hearty laugh and invited,
"Are you interested in coming to my office for a chat?"
"I have some questions I'd like to ask you. Don't worry, there's no danger. I've met your family's Ye Zheng a few times."
He knows Fourth Uncle?
Ye Ming nodded secretly. Sure enough, the circle was small, and powerful individuals always had connections... Under Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall's guidance, Ye Ming came to his office and sat opposite him.
"Tea?"
"No need, Director Li. Let's get straight to the point," Ye Ming said bluntly.
"Haha, good, good, good. I like dealing with straightforward people like you."
Since Ye Ming had said so, Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall gave a hearty laugh, no longer being polite, and got straight to the point.
"I watched your combat recording just now."
"I have to say, whether it's your combat skills, your mastery of your body, or your estimation of the timing of your moves."
"You don't resemble a newcomer at all; you're more like a seasoned assassin, moving through the battlefield, killing without a trace."
"Have you practiced assassination techniques since childhood?"
Director Li looked up at Ye Ming, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Fourth Uncle forced me to train since I was young, so I learned some basic martial arts."
Ye Ming raised an eyebrow, then added,
"As for assassination techniques... does watching a lot of movies count?"
"I really like the assassins in movies; I think they're very cool."
As a Top Assassin.
When saying these words, Ye Ming's heart was calm, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes.
So Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall, by observing his micro-expressions, also confirmed that Ye Ming was not lying.
"A pure newcomer, yet able to skillfully assassinate targets in actual combat, with techniques almost reaching the Peak Realm of perfection."
"Your talent is quite high!" Li Sufeng exclaimed in admiration.
Ye Ming nodded with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Director Li."
"Do you have a preferred university at the moment?"
Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall changed the subject and asked.
Ye Ming shook his head, "Not yet."
"You could consider Star Demon University; their Assassin Major is very suitable for you!"
So he called me here for this.
If Ye Ming remembered correctly, Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall himself graduated from Star Demon University.
Was what he was doing now considered recruiting for his alma mater?
However, Star Demon University was indeed good.
Star Demon University, Starry Sky University, Star Sea University, Qingbei University.
These were currently the four most prestigious universities in Dragon Country.
Among them, Qingbei University focused on cultural education.
Star Demon, Starry Sky, and Star Sea Universities, however, focused on Martial Dao.
Although they all focused on Martial Dao, each university had a different emphasis and some clear distinctions, and Star Demon University's biggest specialty was its Assassin Major!
They cultivated ninety percent of Dragon Country's professional assassins!
These assassins played a crucial role in both Contractor wars and Vicious Beast attacks.
"Star Demon University, Assassin Major, it's quite suitable for me."
Ye Ming pondered for a moment, already having a plan in mind,
"Okay, thank you for the suggestion, Director Li."
"I will consider it."
