Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 20 The assessment is over
Half past six in the evening.

The warrior combat assessment started on time.

The military selected three types of H-class monsters based on their speed and strength, and released thousands of them into an abandoned town.

There is the Shadowcat, a cat-type monster that wins with its speed, the Iron Boar, which wins with its powerful defense, and the Tiger Mastiff, a dog-type monster with a relatively balanced speed and strength.

More than a thousand would-be warriors entered the closed gate of the town, then quickly dispersed and began to search for and hunt their prey.

After all, the assessment time is only 12 hours.

Three to four thousand monsters were released into the closed town. According to the results of previous years, generally, as long as three monsters were hunted, the assessment standard would be met.

But among the prospective warriors taking the test this time, there were four geniuses who were admitted in advance.

What a genius!
They are all unique, and it is normal for one person to hunt thirty or forty monsters alone!
What's more, those would-be warriors who are confident in their own strength will definitely not be satisfied with targeting prey with only two or three monsters.

More monks and less rice!

After separating from Luo Feng, Yang Wu randomly chose a direction and quickly ran away.

Yang Wu had no interest in the beast-soldier-level monsters deployed in the town. He came here just to go through the motions and take an exam.

The dilapidated town was littered with ruins.

In a collapsed two-story building, there was a monster crawling around, about one and a half meters tall, with hair all over its body like spikes.

Iron-haired wild boar!

Next to it was a pile of leftover limbs and body parts.

A faint light from a searchlight in the distance shone through its huge body, reflecting a behemoth on the broken wall.

Shashasha~~~
Suddenly, the dozing iron-haired wild boar opened its eyes and stared intently at the figure in front of it that was moving slowly forward without any haste.

"Hehe——"

Feeling provoked, the iron-haired wild boar let out a strange low growl, and supported its huge body with its four thick hooves, rushing forward with a rumble and a bloody storm.

In the night sky, a cold glow suddenly appeared.

The inertia of the forward charge dragged the iron-haired wild boar's body forward dozens of meters, and it crashed weakly into an abandoned wall, shattering the wall into pieces.

The huge body of the Iron-haired Wild Boar fell down along with the broken wall, splashing up a cloud of dust.

Yang Wu calmly retracted his spear and shook the spear to get rid of the blood on the tip.

Monsters of this level were no problem for him. Even though it was his first time killing one, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

The combat experience gained from the simulation is like an information storage device. It is usually invisible, but it will automatically pop out at the critical moment or with conscious thinking.

These combat experiences were as if he had experienced them personally. The various monsters he encountered in the simulation, their various habits and weaknesses, were all engraved in his mind.

“I haven’t fished in ages!”

"I can't sleep tonight, just in time to get my touch back."

Glancing at the fallen corpse of the iron-haired wild boar, Yang Wu whispered to himself.

Late at night, it’s so quiet!
……

The next day, early in the morning.

It was daybreak, the sun had not yet risen, and a hint of paleness appeared on the eastern horizon.

"Woo-"

In the small town, bursts of harsh sounds echoed throughout the town through the loudspeakers.

The practical assessment is over!

Not far from the gate of Monster Town, Yang Wu jumped down from the rooftop of a dilapidated residential building and quickly rushed towards the gate of the town.

Last night's catch was not very good. I fished until three in the morning and only caught a dozen or so prey.

Although those monsters were not highly intelligent, they still had the instinct to sense danger. After sending away more than a dozen monsters in succession, they listed that place as their new monster cemetery.

Everyone was so scared that they took a detour.

Seeing that the assessment time was about to end, Yang Wu came to this place and waited for the assessment to end.

The entrance to the town.

Yang Wu, dressed in a clean combat uniform, walked slowly towards the statistics point next to the entrance, facing the surprised gazes of the prospective warriors behind him.

Yang Wu was not interested in being in the spotlight anymore. He casually took out the left ears of five monsters and registered them, then returned to the crowd and waited for Luo Feng to come out.

The prospective warriors who were taking part in the actual combat assessment began to come out one after another.

Some people were not injured at all and walked out calmly with their spoils on their backs.

Some people were injured, or had difficulty moving their arms, legs, and feet, and needed to rest for ten days or half a month, or were seriously injured or even disabled, completely losing the qualifications to become a warrior.

Some people even died during the actual combat assessment, their bodies were pulled by a heavy truck and dumped on the ground by the roadside.

Seeing this scene, the would-be warriors who were still despairing about their crippled bodies suddenly felt less desperate. Although they were crippled, at least they had saved their lives. Every would-be warrior who emerged went to the counting point near the entrance to hand in the left ears of the monsters they had hunted to prove the number of monsters they had hunted.

"Look, that's Luo Feng."

"Is that the man Luo Feng who was recruited by the Extreme Martial Arts School in advance?"

"I don't know how many monsters he has hunted."

As soon as Luo Feng came out, he attracted the attention of a large number of prospective warriors who had already come out.

With thirty-six monsters in his left ear, the number of monsters hunted by Luo Feng was far ahead of the second-ranked fourteen, which surprised the would-be warriors watching from afar.

"madman."

Yang Wu shouted in the crowd, and after finding the target in the crowd, Luo Feng hurried over.

"How is it, how does it feel?"

Looking at Luo Feng, who looked a little dusty, Yang Wu asked softly.

"That's a lot of progress. Brother Yang, how about we give it a try?"

Luo Feng's current physical fitness is at the intermediate warrior level, and his mental power is two levels higher than that of a warrior. In other words, his mental power level has reached the junior general level.

Coupled with a slight improvement in his physical skills, driven by his mental power, he can achieve subtle dodge.

The huge increase in strength gave him a lot of confidence, and his eyes looking at Yang Wu were full of anticipation to try.

"Haha, okay, let's talk about it when we get back. Just don't let it get you down then."

Yang Wu was not afraid of Luo Feng being frustrated. This would only set a higher goal for him, and then he would become the goal, surpass the goal, and finally make the goal out of reach.

This is a typical example of someone who becomes more courageous after facing setbacks.

After a while, there was a sudden noise from the front.

Wan Dong, a talented quasi-warrior recruited in advance by the Thunder Martial Arts School, broke the record set by Luo Feng just a few minutes ago with fifty-one monster left ears.

"51? That's so much more than Luo Feng?"

"Hey, where's Yang Wu?"

"Look, he came out a long time ago!"

Yang Wu, dressed in a clean combat uniform, stood out among the crowd.

"Does anyone know how many he hunted?"

"I don't know. He was the first to arrive. I didn't hear how many he killed."

"You're stupid. Look at his clean clothes. He doesn't look tired at all, and he can still chat with Luo Feng so calmly."

"It's obvious that the warrior assessment doesn't put any pressure on him at all, and he doesn't even care about the assessment score."

"Brother, your analysis makes sense. I wonder if you can help me..."

"..."

On the other side, Luo Feng was happily chatting with Yang Wu when he was suddenly interrupted by a bearded officer.

"Does anyone want to see me?"

Luo Feng was a little confused as to who wanted to see him at this time.

"Brother Yang, I'll go over first."

"Ah."

Yang Wu nodded. He knew that Lei Dian Martial Arts School was preparing to poach his players.

However, poaching is bound to disappoint them!

Just like in the original novel, in the lounge, Luo Feng righteously rejected the invitation from Lei Dian Martial Arts School.

……

in the afternoon.

Jiangnan Base City North Military Region.

"Brother Yang, you didn't know it just now, but Wan Dong seemed to regard me as his opponent."

Luo Feng was very puzzled. Wan Dong had just come over and said something inexplicable to him.

Little did he know that after Wang Heng's words, Wan Dong had already regarded Luo Feng as his first opponent.

Oh, poor baby...

In this life, there is only this one opponent, an opponent whose back you will never see again in ten lifetimes...
