Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Ever since Zhang Chaoqiang saw the Twin-Winged Tiger Crystal Core in the martial arts shop, from which he had the opportunity to extract some special martial arts techniques, he had been itching to try it.

After this dungeon ends, everyone can earn points and money by submitting crystal cores.

The money is the price for acquiring the crystal cores, and of course, a cut is taken from that.

He promised not to include crystal cores in the points system, but he didn't promise not to sell them for money. Zhang Chaoqiang had assessed that a single crystal core from an ordinary monster was worth a thousand yuan, because ordinary monster cores weren't very useful. Perhaps they shouldn't even be called crystal cores, but rather crystal grains, much smaller than those from rank-up monsters.

So, 300,000 means 300 ordinary monsters, and you need to collect 300 ordinary crystal cores.

It's great to complete two tasks at once.

At this point, Lin Ru's speech came to a complete end.

Finally, it was announced: "In this trial, one crystal core is worth one point. Finding and overturning the beast's nest of the burrowing scale will also earn points."

Although this is just a trial run to familiarize you with the secret realm, don't be arrogant. You must be fully focused, or the monsters will teach you a lesson!

Seemingly noticing that the students had more or less lost interest in ordinary monsters, she offered a reminder.

After saying this, Jin Jia specifically reminded Zhang Chaoqiang that he was too young and therefore would not be included in this trial competition. Although some people pointed out that Tan Yue was also young, he selectively ignored them.

"The one-day trial has finally begun!"

Tan Yue was assigned a light blade with a spiritual power of 300P. After putting it on her hand, she looked at the desolate landscape with her bright eyes and her brows furrowed, as if she was worried about whether she could adapt.

Before Zhang Chaoqiang could speak, Rongyue took her hand, offering her comfort and confidence.

In an instant, the students from both classes scattered in all directions, gathering in groups. And, remarkably, Class 1 and Class 2 chose opposite directions.

Because the trials have rules that allow students to steal each other's crystal cores, students from different classes naturally won't gather too close together.

On the barren land, the footprints of Zhang Chaoqiang and others were left, especially clear, but they disappeared instantly after being blown away by the hot wind.

"Where are the demonic beasts?"

The frustrating thing wasn't killing the monsters, but that the group of six had walked nearly three kilometers without finding any trace of them—no deformed apes, cheetahs, or anything like that.

Each group's target was basically the nest of the burrowing scales, but being unfamiliar with the terrain, they could only search blindly at first.

Zhu Bobi and his group gradually arrived at the foot of a desolate mountain. The journey had been too peaceful, which made him feel somewhat uneasy. When he expressed his concerns to Zhang Chaoqiang, the latter immediately agreed with him.

The next second, in the desolate, silent mountains, two figures flashed out from behind a boulder shelter.

Even Pang Lei didn't notice anything amiss before he was pounced on by the two cheetahs.

With two whooshing sounds, Rong Yue unleashed two flying kicks at them, landing precisely on the heads of the two cheetah beasts. Pang Lei immediately stood up and, with a combined attack of his two swords, forced the opponents to retreat steadily.

A dozen or so cheetahs looked down and swooped down from the mountainside in groups of four or five towards the group of people.

As some of the strongest members of Class 1, their reputation is well-deserved. Cheetahs, being fast but not particularly strong, are just ordinary monsters that barely qualify as mid-level zero-rank monsters.

As they leaped down, the customer did not use a sliding tackle to attack the monster's belly like Zhu Bobi did.

He scoffed at Zhu Bobi's behavior, believing himself to be far more noble. With a shadow-step like a ghost, he instantly turned his back to the two cheetah beasts that were still hovering in mid-air and diving down.

The Hand of God, at this moment, was neither in front nor behind, but in the heavens. Grasping the vital points, with a ruthless expression, he violently ripped them apart, tearing the entire lower abdomen cleanly to shreds along with the vital points…

"what…"

Tan Yue closed her eyes; this scene was far too inappropriate for children… Standing before a real demon beast for the first time, she was naturally afraid, afraid of the feeling of killing.

"Don't be afraid..."

"Mmm, oh oh, hehe..."

Although Zhang Chaoqiang couldn't remember the incantation he recited during the ritual, he unconsciously muttered it to himself to comfort Tan Yue, who was seeing blood for the first time, which caught Tan Yue's attention.

"I am performing a ritual to help these cheetah beasts find peace, hoping they will not suffer as monsters in their next life..."

This way, Tan Yue will be less afraid and resistant to these things.

"Is it like this? I'm sending you away, a thousand miles away..."

Then, with a loud bang, after verbally performing a ritual of deliverance, Zhu Bobi stylishly and elegantly killed a cheetah beast, using his second-tier martial skill, Qingfeng Chop, to cleave its cervical vertebrae, and then casually extracted the crystal core from its skull.

With Zhang Chaoqiang's encouragement and psychological guidance, Tan Yue finally managed to get into the right mindset. Although she still felt a strong aversion to killing, it was an unavoidable experience on her path to becoming a battle armor pilot.

"Come on!" Zhang Chaoqiang waved his fist at her, conveying his confidence. Tan Yue then gritted her teeth and charged towards the cheetah beast, brandishing her spirit blade.

At the same time, Zhang Chaoqiang stepped back and did not make a move, but instead provided real-time combat guidance to Tan Yue from the side.

Chapter 96 Call

"Watch your lower body, Tan Yue, pay attention to your three o'clock position..."

Under Zhang Chaoqiang's guidance, Tan Yue successfully wielded her spirit blade, slashing a small cheetah beast until it lay dying on the ground, covered in wounds. Unable to bear torturing it, Tan Yue immediately plunged a knife into its heart.

The stab missed, and the cheetah whimpered, its eyes filled with tears.

It took more than a dozen more cuts to finally bring it to the end of its life.

"Waaah, waaah, the sound of wailing and hissing, three times three equals seven, three times four equals two, eight..." Zhang Chaoqiang didn't know what he was babbling about, but it did have some effect on the salvation of the dead.

He believed the other person did indeed need a proper ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife, given the immense suffering they had endured in their previous life…

[Mentor II] has been achieved.

Perhaps it was guiding Tan Yue from zero to one. Everyone has their own first time. She achieved her first brave kill of a monster and her first improvement in combat experience.

Zhang Chaoqiang's three-dimensional index increased by 0.3, and his physical body also became noticeably stronger.

Looking at the carcasses of cheetahs scattered on the ground, Zhang Chaoqiang had a bad feeling.

There are too many monks and not enough meat. How come all the monsters are dead before he even made a move?

[Slightly better] 3760/4000

I'm just a little bit away from the growth value needed to reach the next level...

After hunting down the pack of cheetah beasts, Zhu Bobi and his customers fought with increasing ferocity, proving themselves to be top experts of Class 1.

However, Tan Yue still needs to become more familiar with this kind of real combat and must adapt to this kind of battle that hovers between life and death.

Zhang Chaoqiang needs to leave the main group temporarily to find and kill monsters on his own. The secret realm trial only lasts for one day, so he must seize the opportunity. Too many people around will affect his performance.

“Zhang Chaoqiang, I’ll follow you too…” Tan Yue said decisively.

Zhu Bobi also wanted to follow, because he always felt a chill down his spine during the battle. Nothing is more tragic than not trusting your teammates.

When Zhang Chaoqiang refused, Zhu Bobi was immediately subjected to a barrage of insults from the customer.

"You idiot, you want to be a third wheel?"

Watching Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue gradually disappear into the distance, Zhu Bobi and the two of them agreed to meet at the same spot three hours later.

Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue headed towards the highest, most barren mountain peak in the 50-mile stretch, their beast-scented senses allowing them to detect it.

The aura of the demonic beasts ahead was extremely strong.

The closer Tan Yue got to that mountain peak, the softer the ground beneath her feet seemed to become…

Occasionally, small holes appear on the ground that have been filled in. When you step on them, your body sinks about five or six millimeters.

"There's something down there."

Zhang Chaoqiang's ears twitched, and his keen hearing caught the sound from beneath the ground—a digging sound accompanied by a sharp scraping noise.

He pointed to the ground and whispered to Tan Yue, "What's hidden down there might be the burrowing scales. These holes were probably dug by them. The soil underneath has been loosened, so it's at least a small nest!"

Tan Yue understood immediately and used her spirit blade to dig open a hole.

Wind Fist, the Wind Fist after it spreads.

Layers of sand and soil were kicked up.

To prevent a situation where Zhang Chaoqiang kills a monster and gives the crystal core to someone else, the golden-armored figure in the distance kept a close eye on the situation.

When he noticed that Zhang Chaoqiang had uprooted an entire area of ​​the Earth-burrowing Scales, he actually became interested in this level of combat.

This punch brought Zhang Chaoqiang 30 crystal cores.

...

While Zhang Chaoqiang and the others entered the secret realm for their first trial attempt.

The Martial Arts Shop is located on Tianyun Street.

Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue had visited the same place before.

On this day, the store staff received multiple calls at the same time, which was unprecedented.

Jingle Bell…

The shop assistant answered: "Hello, how can I help you?"

Then three more bells rang in the store. Luckily, there were quite a few people in the store, otherwise we would have been overwhelmed.

The voices asking, "Hello, how can I help you?" echoed throughout the room.

After stating the goods they wanted to buy on the phone.

The shop assistants' voices were all in unison: "Hello sir/madam, I need some time to confirm the specific inventory status of the goods and check the order records."

Please leave your phone number and personal information, preferably including your company or affiliated organization. I will call you back shortly, provided the goods have not been reserved by other customers!

When a customer expresses their needs, even for the most obscure or unpopular products, the salesperson will always use the same sales pitch, describing the product as extremely sought-after through indirect language.

Four voices fell simultaneously. With the sound of pens sliding across paper, the shop assistants held up slips of paper in front of them, containing the other party's information, followed by a long silence.

The central investigation department is out of money. The Central Government of the Central State is under Huang Di.

Su Huoyin, a student at Yuhua Martial Arts School. Chen Xiucai, from an ordinary family.

Required item: Tier 3 Twin-Winged Tiger Crystal Core.

The four shop assistants exchanged glances, then looked at each other blankly, and gathered around the display case where the crystal cores were displayed.

The crystal core of that third-tier double-winged tiger had been gathering dust for several months, with no customers ordering it. They were eager to sell this thing, which was more expensive than ordinary third-tier crystal cores but had only average effects, so as to get the shop's commission.

But what's going on today? Almost four people made reservations at the same time?

Moreover, they all occurred within the same time period, and each of them came from a significant background, except for that ordinary family.

Their Tianyun Street Martial Arts Shop is managed by the Tianan City Shop Headquarters, which is no small matter. Even the damn country has intervened. They can't determine whether this is a prank or not.

If it's not a prank, the government can directly access the national-level store inventory, so there's no need to buy from them. Besides, there's absolutely no need to call local stores personally.
